OFFERING FOR MISSIONS.
To Be Received in Every Catholic Church in Connecticut Tomorrow, a4 Bishops Request.

The following circular letter has been issued by Bishop John J. Milan, of the Hartford diocese to each pastor in the state:
 Episcopal Residence,
 Hartford. Conn,
 March l, 1918.
 Dear Father:-
 The annual collection prescribed by the Third Plenary Council of Balti- more for the support of home and for eigr missions will be taken up in the churches of this diocese on the first Sunday of Lent. March 12. You will kindly urge your people 10 do their utmost to aid the apostolic men and women who have undertaken the task of bringing the light of faith to the pagan races both ih our own country and in foreign lands.
 Unusual efforts must be made by Catholics in America to supply the de- hcit in missionary resources caused by the terrible war in Europe. The gen. eral director of the Society for the propagation of the Faith informs us that "the European war is affecting the work of the missions greatly. and If it lasts much longer, not a few of them will come to an end. Every day we receive letters from missionaries who describe their missions as being in most pitifUl state and on the verge of disruption unless some helu is extended to them. The Catholic nations of Europe. torn with battle and strife, are unquestionably be- yond the hope of giving to others what they possess no longer. and consequently all eyes are turned ex- | pectantly to America"
 Every Catholic heart that appreci- | ates the infinite value of faith should be eager to extend this same priceless blessing to the millions of immortal souls that are still blind to the light of Christ's gospel. We are confident that | the people of this diocese will surpass | themselves on this occasion by their | contributions to the moSt charitable and praiseworthy work of the mis. | sions for the glory of God and the | welfare of souls.
 Yours sincerely, JOHN J. MILAN, ! Bishop of Hartford

WOULD MAKE BIG
Changes IN TAX
ON INHEMTANCEs
Charles H. Merriam Recon-
mends Graduated System
for Consideration

Members of the territorial tax COM
mission will probably take up for de-
cision at the session to be held some
whether or not to recommend to the
legislature a proposed change in the
inheritance law submitted by Charles
II. Merriam, secretary.
MIR. Merriam expressed the belief
today in discussing the proposal that
it will be more equitable and just by
far than the present system, and will
also follow in general the majority
OF the mainland states as well as the
British government.
The secretary proposes in his re-
port to the commission graduated
system of taxing heirs instead OF the
nat rate now provided by law This
rate is at present 2 per cent for all
inheritance money above $4,000 receiv-
ed by near relatives and for others
per cent above $500.
Under the new plan near relatives
would pay at the following rate: 5000
to $4,000 at per cent; $4,000 to $780,
900 at per cent; $4,000 to $4,000
at per cent; $4,000 to $4,000 at 4
per cent; $4,000 to 100000 at per
cent; 100000 to $250,00O at Z IL per
cent, and above $25O.000 at 10 per
cent.
For distant relatives and friends the
rates would be: per cent for $500 to-
$4,000; 5 per cent from $4,000 to $780,
900; 10 per cent from $4,000 to $780,
900; 20 per. cent from $4,000 to $780,
600, and 80 per cent for 100000 or
more.
Aliens come under special class
whereby the rate of tax shall be 25
per cent of the market value of inher.
tied property above $500.

FIRST BATTALION ENDS
TARGET WORK TOMORROW

For their last day of target work
under the 1916 season, the 1st Bat
talon, 1st Infantry, National Guard,
will go to Punchbowl rifle range to-
morrow. The season closes on De-
cember 81.
Because the time is growing short
in which the target practise may be
held, it is likely that the End and 3rd
battalions will consolidate for the two
Sundays remaining after tomorrow.
This fact was stated today at guard
headquarters.
Rain has been largely responsible
for delaying the target work in the
last feT Sundays oil practise. The
battalion tomorrow will shoot the rap
i'd fire course Maj. Merle Johnson is
in command.

PUBLIC WILL Be
SHOWN NEEDS FOR
VICE ABATEMENT
Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee Lays Plans for Edu-
cation of Citizens

To make study of the vice condi-
tions of Honolulu so that the data col
lected can be clearly and lucidly pre-
sented TO the people OF Honolulu at a
future mass meeting: To inaugurate a
campaign Of education in order that
the people will know what is taking
place in the underworld; and 10 favor
the passage OF ~an abatement by in
junction" act by the legislature, is
the campaign outlined today at meet
ing of a special committee of the
Chamber of Commerce The commit
tee is composed of Judge w. L. Stan
ley, chairman: W. r. Harrington, Rob-
ert Horner, Judge S. B. Dole, James
A. Rath and F, G.. Atherton With
these ends in view a committee COM
posed of Harrington. Rath, Horner and
Raymond G.. Brown was formed to
adopt policy and to formulate a
concrete plan with which to go before
the public at such meeting.
Education Deemed Essential
That If vice is stamped out OF Ho-
nolulu the people must be educated,
was the opinion of the committee,
and to accomplish this widespread
publicity campaign was approved in
conjunction with the mass meetings
that are planned. 1t was pointed
out that the vice wave, which is
spreading out over the city, is having
demoralizing effects among the
younger population who are begin
ming to think that there is nothing
immoral about their conduct '"The
only way which it can be curbed,"
said Mr. Atherton, "is to show them
that such action will be frowned
upon"
Police Headquarters Blamed
The question Of the best means of
reducing the evil was next taken UP.
Judge Dole said the trouble, so far
as the police went. was entirely due
to the rottenness of headquarters
which has -eontff4daliy discouraged
the men below from hpKolding the
law, and the other members concurred.
The abatement act was suggested and
1t was the opinion of the members
that it should be passed by the legis-
lature, and other methods talked over.
Mr.. Brown said that some of the
Iwilei women had scattered over the
city and gave an incident of a com
plant which came to him from a man
who said that the house next to his
was being used for immoral purposes.
Must Be Popular Demand
Mr.. harrington sounded the key
note of the meeting when he said,
"The people do not know what is
going on, and before we can do any
thing to change the condition, they
must be educated. We cannot depend
upon the police department, for the
heads are spineless. The people them.
selves must demand that the city be
cleaned up"

agents of the different islands," said
