in the insane ward at Canon City.
Thomas ]. lyman. warden Of the state

violently unbalanced that 1t would not

"Oh, is that so?" was his only COM

Advises Higher Insurance Capital.
e. r. Harper, state insurance COM
missioner, recommends in his annual
report, soon to be issued, that laws
be enacted to require insurance COM
panies to increase their capitalization
whenever they begin to write new
lines of insurance. He points out in
his report that under the present law,
health and accident companies can
write workmen's' compensation insur-
ance with only 100000 capitalization,
and declares his conviction that a
much larger capitalization should be
demanded. He also urges legislative
measures to stop alleged discrimin-
atory rates in fire insurance and to
readjust fire insurance rates that are
n.anifestly excessive.

VIRGINIUS MAYO ARRESTED
Hamden Manufacturer Alleged to Have Assaulted Man Sent to Take Control of Radiator Factory.

New Haven, Dec. 7.-Virginius J. Mayo, a manufa cturer of this city, whose domestic affairs some months ago were brought to public attention after the death by poison self-admin- istered of Lillian Cook, a stenOgrapher in his employ, was under arrest today charged with assault on E. B. Shoe maker who has just been appointed manager of the factory of which Mayo has been the head. It was announced yesterday that this plant had been taken over by New York men. Mayo and his counsel claimed to know noth- ing of the change of control, it hav- ing been understood that the concern through stock holdings was in MayO'S hands.
 The facts as to the alleged assault have not been cleared up as yet. It is understood that Shoemaker went to the plant to take charge. Mayo re- fused to recognize him. Constables in Hamden in which town the plant is, this being but a short distance from the New Haven line, were called in to make the arrest. Mayo secured former Chief of Police Cowles and Deputy Sheriff Hull to serve as his body guard. His counsel then an- 1IOul1SSu IIlcit ct UOuu Ildu Deon secured and application would be made to the superior court for an injunction to re- strain Shoemaker, the new manager and others from interfering with the business.
 The announcement of change in control of the s. Mayo Radiator com pany was made yesterday through the medium of newspaper advertse- ments. Thomas J. Leavens and J. D. Livingstone of New York, who it is understood had had a part in if nancing the Mayo company are said to have been among those who se- lected Shoemaker. Today the plant was under protection of several guards and not only Mayo's attorney but Lawyers representing the New York mems interest were there. A claim by the latter is that Mayo sold his in- terest in the business last June.

YALE AND HARVARD
 CLASH ON TAX LAW
Professors Fail to Agree on As
 SeSSInent Of Incomes

Hartford, Dec. 1.-The Yale view and the Harvard opinion of the in come tax came into conflict at the morning session of the sixth annual conference of New England state tax l officials in the senate chamber at the
 capitol this morning. Prof. F. R.
 Fairchild of Yale spoke in commend alton of the tax, but Prof. Chas J. Bullock of Harvard dissented and said he did not think it was the cure all for grievances which the Yale professor thought it was The dele gates were made to feel at home by the cordial welcome which was giv- en them by Governor Holcomb on the part of the state and by Mayor flag arty, representing the city. The mayor threw out new Idea when he suggested that the delegates might consider plan for insuring munich palities against loss from the non- payment of taxes.
 The chair was occupied bv Presi dent Brown. Former Governor Bald win laid particular stress on the de- slrablllty of appointing commissions to inquire into the subjects of taxation without pay.
 Governor Holcomb said his first entrance into public affairs of the state was when he was a member of the senate in 1893 and since then he hdo been pretty continuously in public lire. For some reason people seemed to dread a tax more than they did death. But taxes were necessary. Tn Connecticut they found it impossible to tax intangible property by the or d1nary rate and they decided to lav a tax or four mills on the dollar on it. The office of the commission was es taohshed fifteen years ago but for several years the incumbent of the ofhce did not do anything more than draw his salary and prepare a few statistics. Eight years ago the pres ent tax commissioner was appointed, MT. Corbin had made a genuine de- partment of the commission. For merly there seemed to be competition among the towns to escape taxation imposed by the state and 1t became an unequal burden. The board of equalization remedied that trouble.
 The government was proud that Connecticut. was an a pretty fair basis m regard to the valuation of property TOT the purposes of taxation. The tax commissioners of this and other states were public benefactors and promoters of good morals He well comed the commissioners to the state

Lawyer for John Edward Teiper In- slsts Client Did Not Murder His Mother and Brother

Buffalo, Dec. 7.-An attack by a drug-crazed negro, during which Mrs. Agnes M. Teiper and her son, Fred erick, were beaten to death was the theory advanced today by Roger P.

 MT. Clark described John Edward as his mothers favorite child. and declared that no friction existed be- tween him and other members of the family.
 I've had hoped against hope that Grace Teiper's memory, plotted out by the injuries she received, would come back to her. MT. Clark said. "In that case it is but fair to the dis trict attorney to say that this indict- ment would have been dismissed with out trial.''
