Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 2S-An in
yestigation was begun by Coroner J.
PheIan today of the death OF Mrs.
Hannah A. Cross at her home here
last November, under conditions which
it is now alleged We're suspicious.
Mrs. Cross, who was the widow Of
a New York jeweler came here from
Mont Clair y. J.. a few months be-
fore her death. Il has been alleged
that death was due to an overdose Of
an opiate.
Witnesses summoned by the coroner
today included DR.. H. w. Fleick, Mrs
Cross's physician and others who at
tended her during her illness.
The coroner was unable to say
whether Frank NJ. Garland, the man
who had Mrs. Cross's power Of at
torney and was named as executor in
her will, but was later displaced by the
probate court, would be questioned in
the course OF his inquiry. At pressnt {,
the coroner said, he had no knowledge
Of Garland's whereabouts.
Counsel in the case was equally re-
ticent and while it is admitted that
about $4,000 Of the Cross estate is
unaccoun.ed for. it Is now charged, 81

DANIELS BEFORE
NAVAL COMMITTEE
- AssOCIATED PREss-

Washington, Jan. 20. - Secretary
Daniels declared before the house ma
val committee today that an inter
national agreement for a total cessa-
ton OF naval construction would be
preferable to a one year naval holiday
and that while he hoped for ultimate
disarmament among all the powers, it
would be irnpracticable to suspend
naval activities without . combination
OF at least two Of the worlds great
est nations.
He believed that, with a considera-
ton for the tax burdens of the peO-
pie, two new battleships was the
minimum program of naval efficiency
for the United States and saw no rea-
son for the navy general boards pro
gram for four battIeships.

Denver-The State Supreme Court.
In majority opinion written by Jus.
tice White. upheld the right claimed
by the State Tax Commission to arbi-
trarily increase property valuations re-
turned by county assessors.
The decision was delivered in the
mandamus proceedings instituted by
Clair j. Pitcher, county assessor of
Denver and overthrows every conten-
tion made by him.
Justices Garrigues, Gabbert and Hill
dissented in separate opinions. There
is no recall of the decision, as it up
holds the constitution of the state. and
the recall may be exercised only when
opinions of the court overrule the con-
stitution.
The main point made by justice
Whits In the majority opinion, which
was concurred in oy Chief Justice
Musser and Justices Bailey and Scott,
was that
values placed by assessors are not
conclusive and binding on the State
Tax Commission. Values of property
on which taxes are to be levied are to
be determined not by county assess
ors alone. but only in conjunction
with other officers and boards provid-
ed for the purpose of correcting errors
and inequalities in valuation as fixed
by the assessor, and to bring all prop
erty values to the legislative stand
ard
Whatever confusion has arisen or
may arise in the extension and col
lection OF taxes growing out of the
questions here involved" the opinion
concludes, must be attributable to the
fact that local public officers have
failed and refused to obey the man
date OF the entire people of the state.
expressed through and directed by
their legislative will"
The opinion means that the $101.-
000.0000O added to Denver's assessed
valuation over the returns made by
Assessor Pitcher must stand.
1t also means that the total of $685.
000,000.00 added to fifty-seven other
counties in the state must stand.
