For the providing of revenue sum- cient to meet It's expenses. new taxes were laid. some in s manner never un-
 dertaken by any other commonwealth.
 It was>~espectally provided that some of these should be tried out for two years and the matter brought up again in the session of 1917. To study l the working of these laws in the in- terim Is Tnaniseftly both desirable and l necessary. A committee of able men, appointed for the purpose, has called | into conference with 1t representatives of all the interests subject to state taxation. These interests enthusias- l tically fell in with the proposition, | both in the direction of advice and consultation, and in the sharing of the | expense and for some months experts have been working on this question. l If the outcome of this shall be that a | scheme can be brought forth, which I has the reasonable acquiescence of I interests involved and presented 70 the next general assembly as a plan likely | to raise the revenue necessary for the expenses of the state what an improve ment 1t will be to having the subject | debated, with bitterness. perhaps, in committee hearings next year"
 The speaker said that such an ob- l ject could well command the interest | of every chamber of commerce and added that many other questions might be taken up the same way in cluding that of pollution of streams, Taking up the freight situation, MT. Pease said that cooperation between | carriers and shippers would be much | to lessen the difficulties. He review l ed briefly the recently congested con- l ditions of freight. the steps taken to | relieve the situation.
 R. LaMotte Russell. of South Man chester, reported for the committee | organized by the chamber to assist | in improving the taxation laws and | the administration of the same in the | state.
 The Connecticut chamber of com. | merce as such, was incorporated in | 1914 but it was really organized in | January 1899. under the name of the | Connecticut Business Mems associa : l tion. The Connecticut chamber is a ! member of the United States cham

CAPTAIN HINScH DECLARES
 BRITISH YARN RIDICULOUS
Says Story Was Started By Sailor Dis-
 charged From WiIlehad.

ridiculous" declared Capt Fred erick Hinsch in emphetic tones on Thursday morning when questioned in reference to the runnor that the North German Lloyd liner Willie had, now lying at the state steamship terminal in East New London, will act within the American emile limit as telegraph station for German sub marines. Captain Hinsch is in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Forward - ing Go in New London, and is Hl com mand of the German steamship Neckar now in Baltimore harbor.
 Max Wielsch of Quincy, Mass, who is supposed to have written let ter intercepted by the British" con tfnued Captin Hinsch, twas dis had, on Sept. II. 1914, and, has no more knowledge of conditions on board the liner than the utmose stranger. l do not believe any intel ligent American citizen will give cred ence to a rumor which is so utterly false and absurd"
 Captain Hinsch naturally objected to British interference with mails but he added that they were welcome to make any researches sHey desired if they hoped to discover any violation of the laws of neutrality.
 The mission of the WilIehad here was to act as mother ship to the Bremen or some other German sub- sea merchantmen and no one in New London familiar with the situation at tributes any ulterior motive to her presence. Her wireless equipment was sealed within five minutes after she docked and has since remained In that condition. The only founda- ton for the report which gained wide circulation is generally regarded as being in the over enthusiastic imagin- ation of 8 discharged sailor.
 The letters which ,-,,1sad al the commotion were made public in Lon don Wednesday. The first was from Max Weiltsch of 61 East Eighth street south Boston. and was addressed to his brother Gustave. in the, German army. It is given our as follows: today. I am to stay here until the end of the war. The Willehad will act within the American ree-mile limit as a telegraph station for sub- marines. She has four months provi- sions on board"
 The second letter was from Captain Jachems of the Wil1ehad to his sister in Germany. It is quoted as follows: T rejoice I am now here as captain of the Willehad. The Koln still lies at
 Boston. l am here with the Willehad l on special mission. Later on you l will hear more from me. I rejoice l that I have done something for the | Fatherland and that l shall have more | to do."
 The reference to a special mission l in Captain Pachens' letter is regarded as simply applying to aiding such German sub-sea merchantmen as 1 might arrive here.
 | Washington authorities place nc I credence in any sinister motive or the i part of the Wilehad. They point out I that any attempt on her part to act
 as a telegraph station within he | three mill limit wou1d lead to nror1o r,1 l action on the part of the United 1 States, while operations outside Amer 1 ican territorial waters would draw | quick attention from allied cruisers.
