AUTO CARRIES DEAD GIRL ON
 MAIN STREET Race Against Death From Bethel to Bridgeport Wen
 By Grim Specter. LITTLE TOT DIES
 IN FATHERS ARMS Removal of Body From City Stirs Officials to For
 mai Action.

A race against death in which death won while hundreds of Br1dgeporters in the shopping district looked on un- aware, was staged on Main street yes terday afternoon as Lillian Noxon, aged 13, died in the arms of her fath- .er, LeRoy Noxon of Bethel, Conn. Later her dead body sitting erect be- tween the father and a nurse was again taken through the streets of Bridgeport and the intervening towns to Bethel, Conn
 IuyestiEatfon into the death which apparently bears no suspicious cir cunstances will probably be begun bv Coroner Phelan, today, owing to the transportation of the body from the town in which death occurred.
 As far as can be learned of the incident today little Lillian while play ing about her home on Sunday last swallowed a large sized bean which she was holding between her lips be- fore she took 8 deep inspiration She choked somewhat at the time but was not greatly inconvenienced until Mon day when at school in Bethel she was taken with another coughing fit.
 On Monday night and Tuesday morn ing she became worse and 1t was decided to bring her to the office of Dr. Herbert E Smyth, 3T6 John street, Bridgeport. During the first part of the trip, the bean which had evident ly swollen to large proportions by the absorption of moisture in the trachea, gave her difficulty in breathing and [ E. Terry, a lumber and tie dealer of Bethel, whose handsome car is said to have been requisitioned for the trip was urged to make high speed.
 Flying through the towns on the outskirts of Bridgeport a nurse en- deavored to give her such relief as down Main street near Fairfield ave- nue she suddenly became black in the face and the vital spark duttered out.
 AS the party reached John street 1t was decided that the aid of d doctor was useless and turning about they made the return trip with the girl still in the rear seat of the open car. Hundreds of people were passed on the street but none suspected that death rode so openly and close to them. < Although many children are anIictad with obstructions in the wfndpipe, the cases of death are conparA lively in frequent as medical aid is usually s,Ic- cessful in removing the Instructions before the breath Is entirely shut off. In this instance it is remarked that the bean must have enlarged to a great extent to have been able to shut off the wind completely.
 Owing to the fact that a$Iaree fine is imposed by the vario11se towns for transporting a dead body without per init considerable official action has been today stirred over the report of the case

LAST CHANGE TO
 FILE TAX LISTS
Delinquents After 4 Tomor- row Must Pay 10 Per
 Cent. Penalty

Tonight and tomorrow taxpayers who have not. done so already have their last opportunities to file their tax lists. Those who do not file lists by o'clock tomorrow afternoon will have a penalty of ten per cent added to the value of that property. The office of the assessors will be open from to g o'clock this evening to give property owners opportunity to file lists.
 All property is listed for taxation as it stands on the first. day of Sep tember of each year, the taxable year beginning at that time. The law re- quires all property owners to appear before the Board of Assessors each year during the month of September and file with the board a sworn state ment of all taxable property owned by them on the said first day of Sep temher.
 If taxable property is not so listed in the month of September or be- fore 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon the assessors have to add the ten per cent penalty to the value of the prop erty. No discretion as to the addi- ton of this penalty is vested in the assessors, they are compelled by law to make it and cannot accept any excuse for the failure of the property owner to file his list within the time prescribed.
 This year property owners have been unusually. delinquent about fiI- ing their lists. many less than the usual number having been received up to today although it is estimated that there are about 800 more tax payers this year than in 1918. Today brought a rush Of property owners to file lists.

BEL LGIANS WITHSTAND
 GERMANS ONSLAUGHT

Antwerp, via London. Sept. 30, p m.-An official statement issued by the Belgian general staff today, says:
 "A vigorous German bombardment of fortsl WoeIbem. Wavre and St Cath crime, which was continued throughout the night, abated at o'clock this morning. The assai1ants did not suc- ceed in silencing the guns of the Bel gian forts nor in any way lowering the morale of the garrisons of the forts.
 s.At no point did the German infantry dare to move against our first line of defense Only one attempt was directed against forts Liezele and Bree- donk..
 our troops. holding positions be- tween these works, allowed the enemy to advance until they were within close range, when the artillery and infantry working in a remarkable com bination, showered the attacking col umns with hail of projectiles and bullets which threw their ranks into disorder and compelled a precipitate retreat.
 This attempt cost the Germans dearly and was not repeated. In short. the events of the day confirm the com hdence of BeIgiurns in the power of resistance of their national redoubt.' .''

REPORT THAT GERMAN RIGHT WING
 HAS REITERATED ISaYET CONCENTRATED

announcing that tie Battles on this end have been indecisiVe.
 Tn the center the French comgnan- der-in-chief claims slight progress- According to another version Of the report from the German headquarters the French attacks from verdun and Foul have been repuIsed.
 Confirmation of a news agency story that the German right wing had been broken and was in flight is still lack ing. Commentators show much skep- ticisn of this report, although they consider the breaking of the German right wing to he only a natural result of the general movement, the present status of which is pictured sn the French official announcement of yes terday. This shows that the allies have pushed back the invaders in this region until the German right wing Is virtually at right angles with the rest Of the line.
