 eIf he is listed as non-resident tax payer this is due to the action of the assessors for he has simply filed his list each year without comment I feel I acted rather hastily in giving any attention to the question of his eligibility until MT. Curtis returned to Bridgeport regret that he should have been put in any false light through any action of my own In view of the facts I shall continue him as a member of the City Planning Commission. Had I known as much as I do now there never would have been any question about MT. Curtis appointment
 The City Planning Commission will meet for organization in the office of Mayor Wilson, tonight at o'clock. Charles D. Davis, president of the Bridgeport Business Mems association who was first named on the commits sion will undoubtedly be elected chair man. He has some data to present this evening on what similar commis- sions are doing in other cities.

BISHOP MILAN AT
 ST. AUGUSTlNE'S
 SUNDAY EVENING

Rt. Rev. John J. Milan, DID,, Bishop of Hartford. will address the mem bers of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union and their friends on next Sunday even ing, Aug. 24th, at St. Augustine's 8 church, at 7:30 o'clock. It was or1gi- na1ly planned to hold this rally and sermon in St. Patrick's church, but on account of the large interest shown by the people of the city in this event, it was necessary to procure a larger church to hold all the people who de- sired to hear the Bishop, and St. Au- gustine's church was secured by the St. Patricks T. A. B. Society, who have charge of the arran angements.
 The 44th annual convention of the State society will be held in Eagles hall on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 25th and 18th. Rev. John J. Fitz- gerald, of Poquonok, the state presi- dent, will preside at the convention. Father Fitzgerald will also celebrate mass in St. Augustine's church on Monday morning, previous to the opening of the convention, and on Tuesday morning, a requiem mass for deceased mem bers will be celebrated at St. Patricks church. Over two hundred delegates will attend from the various societies in the state. among them many clergynen and a large number of delegates from the various ladies' societies.
 The QeIeBaJeS are invited 10 the dance given by the St. Patrick's So- ciety at Eagles hall on Monday night. Arrang gements for this dance were completed at a meeting of the society held last night, and various commit tees were appointed to see that noth- ing was left undone to make Q. sue cess of the occasion. The society feels honored in entertaining the delegates to this convention, the first ever held in Bridgeport of this society, and a double honor is given to them by the presence of the Bishop. Maloney' s orchestra will furnish the music for the dance.
 Arrangements are now being made to take the delegates on an automo- bile ride around the city on Tuesday afternoon. The committee is desirous of securing about fifty cars for this purpose and asks that any one desir- ing to place their car at the disposal of the committee coTnmunfcate with the chairman, John J. O'Neil, Park Theatre Building. About twenty-five cars have already been secured, and no trouble is anticipated in getting the balance. This ride will be innova- ton in c. T. A. U. conventions and would only be possible in city the size of Bridgeport.

 Washington, Aug 20.-Sti1 without the complete text of the Huerta gov garments note rejecting President wilson's suggestions for peaceful ad- justment of the Mexican revolution, administration officials received fur ther advices today describing as cor dial the continuation of relations be- tween Huerta officials and John Lind, the presidents emissary to Mexico.
 That the United States will not re- cede from it's original proposal that it cannot recognize any regime unless a constitutional election is held, was re- iterated by government officials who discussed the situation with President Wilson.
 President wilson has been opposed to any big movement of troops lest the intention of the United States be misinterpreted. Other officials take the view, however, that precautionary measures are necessary. A disposition to refrain from any discussion of Mex ican affairs was evident in the Senate again today and a session of the for eign relations committee was devoted to other affairs.

ETRADTION SURE
Gov. FeIker of New Hampshire will Lose No Time in Turning Thaw
 Over to Proper Authorities

N Rochester, N H., Aug. 2O-New Hampshire does not want Harry K. Thaw within its boundaries. In the event that he re-enters the state through deportation proceedings in Canada, and legal Justification can be found for the act, he will be surren- dered to the New York authorities.
 This declaration was made, today. by Governor Samuel D. Felker. At torney General James P. Futile, in support of this attitude, said that the matter of extradition was wholly in the control of the executive.
 Governor Felker said that he be- lieved in law and order and held the opinion that Thaw could be extradited on the charge of conspiracy that has been made by the authorities of the Matteawan Insane Asylum and which is based on the fugitive's successful plea to escape. The governor was not quite sure of the law as he has not had opportunity to examine it close ly but he made 1t plain that there would be no squabbling. Tn a for nal statement, made after general discussion of the possibility that Thaw would be returned to this state at the nearest point in the United States to the place of his detention at Sher- brooke, Que, and also because he crossed the line from New Hampshire the governor said:
 we favor law and order and the return of prisoners In the event that Harry Thaw is deported from Canada into New Hampshire, he will be turned over to the proper author ities.
 s-If Thaw is brought into this state and New York presents papers in prop CT form to permit extradition, Thaw will be- given into their charge
 Attorney General James F. Futile, who is in Manchester, in a statement said:
 is wholly a matter for the chief ex- ecutive to deal with. New lamp shire has no room for lunatfcs or oth- CTS of the type of Thaw. If Thaw is returned to New Hampshire you can rest assured that New Hampshire will go the limit to get, him back into rasnonsibIe hands sTWe would rather Thaw would go through the state than sion here.''
