twirler. to the mound at the start OF
the game. but he was taken out IN the

one hit in five innings and Marquee
one in two sessions. Duncan was also
in grand form and the soldier twirler
allowed only two hits in the game.
It was a real pitching duel from start
to finish It was one Of the best
games Of the season. There we're sew

their toes all the time and took many
hard chances.

LATE ARCHDUKE
DEATH DISPROvED
ANCIENT BELIEFS
Francis Ferdinand Killed a
White Chamoix, Yet He
Died Within Year.

Vienna, Feb. 24-To the Vienna
taxidernnist who treats specimens in
tended for the Royal Museum has just
been delivered the hide and frame
of a white chamoix, killed on Aug %,
1913 by the Archduke Francis Fer
dinand. while in the company of his
wife. the Duchess of Hohenberg. The
fact recalls the superstition of the
people of the Austrian Alpine coun-
tries that the hunter who kills a
white chamoix dies eTithin a year.
On the day mentioned the arch
ducaI couple was at Castle Bluehn-
bach in the Sa1zburg Alps. The sur
rolndings of the castle are. of rare
Alpine beauty, and at one time their
forests and rock Businesses were the
habitat of great numbers of game,
among them the chamofx, but these
had become a rarity. Great was the
surprise. therefore, when forester
of the estate announced that he had
seen a white chamofx on rock near
the castle.
Arehduke Francis Ferdinand ex-
pr ssed his desire to hunt the animal.
The Duchess insisted that she ac-
company him. The forester explained
what the superstition concerning the
killing of a white chamoix was. But
the archduke said he wanted the rare
animal for his collection Of hunting
trophies in Castle Konopischt.
The hunt was soon over. A. bull
let sped by the archduke brought
down the white chamoix. In June,
1915 Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and his wife, the Duchess Won Hob en-
berg, were assassinated.

RATE NEEDED AT I'll
Lynch Scores Charities Department
School Boards Plea For Funds By Direct Tax Is
Ignored-Anowance Made For Only 25 Extra Police


Guiding the proposed S22, 600 for a new
slaughter house. Fifteen additional
members were voted for the fire DE-
partment instead of % as asked for.
The item of $50 900 for the mOtoriza-
ton of the entire fire department ap-
paratus was cut to $4,000. The as
sistSnt clerk and milk analyst asked
by the board of health was cut out as
was the proposed supervisor of school
nurses, salary to be 81, 200.
Eight more school nurses asked for
were reduced to two. Instead Of $50
co. for two branch libraries the board
voted 5000. The item proposing two
sanitary inspectors for the board Of
health was also cut out.
The board voted $1,000 to the City
Plan commission instead Of $1,000
asked. Last year the board gave this
commission nothing. 1t also gave
81, 600 to the vice commission. The
board also voted to leave the laying
of macadam road of Park, Gilman
Grant, Gurdon, Monroe, Orland streets
and PARROT, Salem, Scofeld and Wa
terview avenues.
There was a battle royal over the
item of sic, 365.45 deficiency for dig
ging the cellar at I4akevfeW home and
the $4,000 asked for equipment Dr.
Robert J. Lynch led the opposition
declaring hotly that it was an outrage
for the charities department to come
to the board asking for new furniture
He said the equipment should have
been provided in the $d75,0OO which
had been voted. He declared the old
furniture should be used for a year
until new could be purchased. Dr.
Lynch objected to all the items in the
charities board requtsitfon for this
home until Sigmund LoeWtth said:
1.-THE furniture in that old alnnsho1se
is only fit to be taken out and burned
It shouldn't be placed in a barn. I
wish you would take hold and run the
charities department yourself"
The board eliminated the item Of
S., 600 for a cottage for the superin-
tendent Of the home, holding that such
an expensive house for the superin-
tendent was unnecessary. The board
cut out an item of $3.50 for an addi-
tional family visitor and voted to
raise the salary Of Mrs. Mabel l. God
man, the family visitor, from $3.50 to
$500 per year.
The item of rents ror outside poor
was cut from $4,000 to $1,000 Each
of the hospitals got SIC, 600. They had
asked for $40, sos each. An item OF
$500 for the examination of the insane
also was allowed.

additional policemen voted by the

With preliminary rate of 21.1
mills staring at them despite many
cuts in the acquisitions, Former
Mayor Frank E. Clark sharply re-
minded his colleagues on the board
of apportionment and taxation yes
terday that they were assembled to do
the peoples business, that no respon-
sibility, for the tax rate rested with
the mayor, the advisory committee
which he created or with any other
member of the city government, ont
side the members Of the tax board.
1--WE and we alone are responsible,
declared former Mayor Clark.
The following communication which
he introduced was read to the mem
bers of the board before the meeting
began:
1--WE are assembled here to do the
peoples business The members of
this board must assume the full re-
sponsibility for the amount of money
appropriated and spent this year in
Bridgeport.
t'The people will not hold the
mayor or the advisory board respon7
sible for the taxes they will have TO
pay in May. These men have no vote
in the matter.
1--WE have. and we will be legally
and morally responsible if we waste
the peoples money.
1.-THE burden of every taxpayer and
rent payer in Bridgeport will be
higher this year than ever before,
therefore we ought to transact our
business as we would handle our pri-
vate affairs
ssHJo honest business man contracts
bills beyond his ability to pay. All
successful business men keep their
expense account as low as possible.
when I was mayor of Bridgeport
20 years ago, we had the same exor-
bitant demands for improvements
that are made today, bue we did
without many things that were recon-
mended and kept the tax rate below
Q mills.
1.-THE grand list was not more than
one-third of what it is today, but we
had the same amount of territory to
take care OFF,
ding two mills to the final list to pros
vide for new school houses in case
the bond issues are defeated but took
no. action on the matter.
The board set the preliminary rate
at 81 I mills. This is on a. preliminary
rate in the First district of 1913 mills
and 8. mills in the Second district
First district was estimated at s1S9,-
095, O46 and $139, BE, SOC in the Second
