MURDER Of BAFF
CALLED ANOTHER
ROSENTHAL CASE
Deep-Set Plot Behind Staying
of Enemy of Poultry Trust,
Say Police.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The assas-
sination of Barnet Baff, characterized
by Coroner Feinberg as the culmina-
ton of the greatest conspiracy since
the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
placed a real murder mystery in
central office today for solution. Clues
pointed many ways. The authorities
declared that the mystery had SO
many qualifications that ii took on
,..e aspec.s cf Chinese puzzle.
The victim, well-to-do independent
poultry dealer, was lured to his death
by a decoy message given him at
6 O'Clock last night by young man
who entered his place Of business in
Washington market. Two shots, fired
in the street, killed him. Two men
darted away to an automobile, wait
ng with drumming engine, near by,
and made off. The car has not been
found, nor the men identified.
Going over Baff's past life in a
quest for clues, detectives learned
that he had been threatened many
times with violent death since he had
testified for the State in trial that
sent members of New York city's
poultry trust TO prison several years
ago. In the relentless campaign
waged by his enemies fires had been
lgnted, DOfnDS exploded, ms norSeS
poisoned, his son attacked and his
chain of stores robbed. One of his
neighbors was killed by gunman,
in mistake, it was believed, for Baff
Baff, himself, had been SCARED for
life by an assault made on him by a
thug armed with a bottle.
The police worked on the theory
that Baff had four sets OF active
enemies One of these consisted of
those he made while warning against
the poultry trust; another Of MEM
bers of the gang that robbed his Har-
lem market, five of whom were sent
to Sing Sing: a third grew out of
his differences with certain wholesale
dealers, who charged Baff had tricked
them by selling poultry at wholesale
and then underselling them to re-
tailers.
The fourth was one of more recent
origin. Not long ago a number of
fowls shipped to New York for other
deaelers were seized and condemned
because 1t was charged. their crops
had been filled with gravel to add to
their weight As a result of this, a
number of men were thrown out OF
work. They are said to have blamed

Thanksgiving Day, tomorrow Will
be more generally observed In this
city than in any previous year. This
fact is emphasized by. the numerous
events that have been planned for
the day, and is partly due to the war
abroad, which has apparently qu ck-
ened public appreciation of the bless
ings of peace here and sympathy
for the distressed nations of Europe.
Union church services, entertain
ments for the poor and cripples and
free dinners for the deserving are
among the good deeds planned for
the holiday. In fact 1t Is expected
that the day will assume a less friv-
olous aspect and more thoug 1tfuliy
thankful one, than has ever been
shown here.
That the poor of the city VIII be
taken care of Is evidenced from ths
activity at the Bureau of Associated
Charities at 13 Central avenue. Many
women drove up in automobiles this
forenoon with donations and offers of
their assistance in preparing TO help
the needy. There was a large num-
Der of visitors at the bureau, accord
ing to the statement of one of the
officers. All sorts of gifts, turkey,
fruit and other eatables were do
mated.
Baskets, each holding a dinner,
with its incidentals, will be given
out tomorrow to families for whom
there would be no other provision. The

promised their hearty support in the
matter of supplying the Evening
Star with the histories of pressing
cases.
These histories we shall present to
you through the columns of the

to what will be most necessary to

DECISION
IN NEW ATTACK
ON BANK TAX ACT
Errors Court Hears Argument
Against constitutionaIity of
the Measure.
Special to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Nov. 25.-The Court of
Errors and Appeals today heard argu-
ment upon the appeals of the Com
mercial Trust Company Of New Jer-
sey and Charles l.. Decker. both of
Jersey City, from ,ne decision of the
Supreme Court against them in their
suits against the Hudson County
Board of Taxation to set aside an as
sessment upon bank stock. Decision
was reserved.
The suits involve the question q
the constitutionality Of the Fielder
Pierce bank stock taxing act. The
Commercial Trust Company was as
sessed on fifty-five shares Of the
capital stock of the Jersey City
Trust ~eNfifPa9fs The assessment
against Decker was on the twenty
shares of the stock of the Merchants
National Bank of Jersey City.
The plaintiffs obtained writs Of
certiorari to have the assessments set
aside upon tho ground that the bank
stock taxing act was unconstitu-
tional. The Supreme Court sustained
the assessments and held the act TO
be constitutional.
John r. Hardin, of Newark. and
former Justice Gilbert Collins, of
Jersey City. argued the case today
for the plaintiffs. They eontended
that the act is invalid because il vio-
lates the action OF the State Consti
tuition requiring that property shall
be assessed for taxes under general
laws and by Uniform rules. and be-
cause it violates the constitutional
requirement that property shall be
assessed for taxes at its true value,

KETAW KALUNTUCKY HER
NAME IN CHEROKEE TRIBE
Famed as Beauty, Singer and
Suffragette--Mystery Yelled
the Romance.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-An Indian
princess, Ketaw Kaluntuchy, Of the
Cherokee Nation, is to become the
bride of Richard Croker, seventy
one, former chieftain of Tammany
Hal. tomorrow morning, unless the
publicity surrounding the marriage
causes q postponement.
Until today the utmost secrecy was
thrown about the identity of Croker's
bride and the wedding, which is to
take place at st. Agnes's Catholic
Church. The princess, or Miss Beulah
Benton Edmonson, as she Is known
in New York, met the former poll
tician at the National Democratic
convention in Kansas City, where her
father was a delegate from Okla

on Sixty-second street here; is an
ardent suffragette and has been
studying dramatic art for near V a
year. Croker's first wife died early
in September, after living apart from
her husband for many years.
Nothing was known of the identity
of the bride until today, when it be-
came known through her friends that
she was the bride-to-be.
Miss Edmonson has frequently been
brought forward as the most beauti-
full woman of the pure American
type. In the suffrage parade a year
ago she created a sensation by ap-
pearing an an Indian squaw, clad in
