Penalty Taxes For /
 Two Local Estates

Protests from the heirs of two Bridgeport estates may be followed by litigation because of penalty taxes as- sessed against the estates by State Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin. Taxes onf savings banks accounts have always been abhorent to the thrifty residents of Connecticut. Jane Doran who recently died here had an account of $1,039.29 in the Jamaica. l.. l., savings bank. She failed to de- clare it to the tax assessors of Bridge port. After allowing for the $1O0 ex- emption, the commissioner taxes her 2 per cent. for five years on the re- mainder or $93.93 in all.
 Henry L. Hubbard, a groceryman who died here recently was the owner of boats valued at $4S. He also had book accounts at his store of $1,493.85, and on his wagon of $927S5, which he failed to declare. A penalty tax of 246.15 is placed against the estate un- der the same ruling.

Phillipo was called to the stand and stated at first that that Fueel1o had not taken part in the theft of metal from Youngs. Tripadello testified Fucello accom-. panied him and others when they stole the metal. Phillipo recalled to to stand admitted he was lying and Fucello was bound over with his companions to the superior court

RESCUE PARTY RETURNS WITH
 LOST AVIATOR
Lieut.. Col. Bishop Found on Desert, Famished and
 Nearly Frozen.
AMBULANCE BRINGS
 HIM ACROSS BORDER
Lost for Ten Days When Aeroplane is Abandoned
 After Accident.

Welton, AriZ., Jan. 20-Residents of Wellton are watching today for the return of the army ambulance which crossed the border last night to bring
 back Lieut.. Col Harry G. Bishop, an army aviator, who was left Thursday on the desert while rescue party brought here Lieut.. W. A. Robertson,
 his companion on the ill-fated air plane flight
 Bishops weakened condition, caus-> ed by exposure and the fact that he had gone four days without food be- fore he was found after his tramp of almost 200 miles from a point on the gulf of California where the aviators landed, was a source of apprehension here
 The ambulance, in charge of Ma1 Brown, who, was accompanied by IA men, left Yuma last night and was expected to arrive here, early today, but continuous rains made progress slow and it was impossible to fore cast the probable time of arrival
 Robertson, who arrived here with a searching party from Welton that found him on the desert 32 miles south of here, is on the way to San Diego, CaI from which city he and sblSIlOp OH JdI lV began Lnelr 1ugnC to Calexico and were caught in a stiff north wind that carried them several hundred miles out of their course and onto the Sonora desert
 It was Robertson's good fortune in overtaking a searching party that had been delayed by mechanical trouble with their automobile.
 Bishop, no longer able to walk, finally gave up the attempt to walk back to civilization last Wednesday and urged Robertson, the latter said, to go on and send back aid if he could. Robertson continued north westward along the base of the Gi Mountains and found the searching party as he was almost exhausted. He l them to the mountain pass where Bishop had. lain .24 hours, al- most famished and chilled by the cold. l His clothing was drenc11ed by the rains which continued the greater part l of the nine days the two men were | lost on the desert

VOWS HE'LL KILL
 HIS BROTHER FOR
 WRONG OF CHILD
Parent of Girl H. Treated By Her Uncle Threatens
 to Stay Him.

Arrested charged with committing Pace, 14 years old. of 50 Columbus iace. her uncle, Thomas Pace, an eld- erly white haired man, was threaten- -ed with death by his brother, Rocco Pace, father of the girl the arrest ed man is alleged to have assaulted, at police headquarters this morning.
 The. outraged father stamped into the detective bureau and wanted to know what the police were going to do with his brotherAf He was told that Judge Frank Wilder had just bound the defendant over in $500 bonds for superior court.
 T am going to kill him. I hope he gets out in bonds. I want you all to witness what I say. Fll kill him the first time l meet him in the street." declared Rocco Pace. Ascer- taining that his brother was unable to furnish bonds he left the court building with his daughter.
 It is allcs ed that for the last year Thomas Pace has been guilty of com. mitting grave offenses, which first started when the girl was 13 years old. A week ago on complaint of the girls mother, Mrs. Margaret Pace, the girls uncle was arrested. Dr. s. I. Aranki, summoned as a witness for the state was in court this morning td testify but the defendant waived examination.
 The police are of the opinion that it will be better for Rocco in view of the threat of his brother, with whom he lived, if he stays in jail.

Status of Neutra1s
 Captured In Raids 1 Worries State Dept

i. Washington, Jan. 20.-The German admiralty statement that neutral sub- jects in the crews of vessels captured by the German raider in Athe South Atlantic have been removed as pris- oners of war; will raise a complicated question if any Americans are among them.
 The whole question turns on whether an, armed merchant ship is a war ves- Asel and the gulf between this country and Germany on that question is still unabridged. Of course Americans on such ships could be considered as pris-. oners of war only if the vessels were considered as war vessels. .I%, :
 No indication has been received that any of the vessels sunk by the German raider was other than de- fensively armed The state depart. ment has held throughout that a ves- sel cannot be classed as a warship unless it is under naval orders and the naval flag and manned by naval crews.
 The German admiraltys statement made just at this time when the armed ship issue between the two countries is becoming more complicated was taken to foreshadow a more pro- snounced attitude as to the question on Germany's part. {.

 ANOTHER J|TNEY
Two in Hospital Following Double Accident in Bar
 mum Avenue.

British Merchantmen, Captured By Germans,
 Now Out As a Raider

New York, Jan 20-The warning sent out by wireless to vessels of the Entente allies by the British authori- ties that the captured British mer- chantman St. Theodore had been con- verted into German commerce raider was pointed to today by local shipping men as tending to prove that at least two German raiders are at large in the Atlantic ocean. It was recalled that steamer had been sunk south of the equator within eight days aftef the Samland had. sighted raider on Dec. 4 about 500 miles west of Fastnet. For any vessel to have covered the distance in that time, it was said, would have been an impossibility.
 In the discussion of what vessels possibly could be supplying the Ger man raiders the peculiar actions off Cape Hatteras last month of the Por- tuguese steamer Paro, a former ves- sef were recalled. This vessel, for merly the Galata, was interned in Portugal when the war started, was seized by the Portuguese government when the latter declared war against Germany, and under the name of Faro was put into the merchant trade of Portugal.
 The American tank steamer Suc- rosa, which arrived here on Christ mas Day, reports that off Cape Hat teraS she sighted the Faro. which steamed across the tanker's bow, then circled and recrossed astern and disappeared. According to the Suc- rosa's officers, the Faro appeared next day and repeated the perform ance, neither time displaying any sig nal to explain her actions. The Faro put into Newport News for coal and sailed from there Dec. 28, since when she les not been reported.
 So far no change has been made in the arrangements for the safety of allied vessels leaving this port for England or France. When the ves- sells finish loading in New York the captains, it is said. go to their re- spective consuls and receive a code message which they send out by wire less on reaching a certain position, some 300 or 400 miles from their port of destination. and wait until the es. cort meets them.

MAYORS SPECIAL COMMITTEE PANS
 ADMINISTRATION
Zoners- Eight Men, Two Boys and a Dog Forget
 to Zone at Meeting.

Enthusiasm could not have been night when Alderman Vincent $. Whitney of Mayor Wilson's zone com mittee, called meeting Tor the Twelfth district in Lincoln school. Eight men, two boys and a dog, at tended the meeting and there was no heat in the assembly hall which added to the dreary aspect of the small gath ering present in the large room.
 Alderman Whitney met the situa- ton, however, after he had spent about 15 minutes in watching his auditors thrash their arms and stamp their feet to keep warm. He discov- cred that there was heat in one of the school. rooms adjoining and he called the meeting in that school room.
 There the little party assembled proceeded to lament over the condi- tions which the Republican adminis- tration allows in the district and no mention was made of the purpose for which the zone committee had been created. There was no discussion as to what sections of the Twelfth" shall be for manufacturing, what sec- tions for business or what sections declared residential.
 Instead, some of the eight 'citizens and taxpayers wanted to know why the city had spent money for a com fort station at Yellow Mill park and kept the station locked all the time. They also wanted to know why the bulkheading of Yellow Mill pond is delayed and if the variegated odors which arise from the mud flats at low tide must be inhaled for ever. They asked when repairs would be made to the side walks of the East End and more streets paved; when an East Side High school will be built, when White street will be extended to Bar mum avenue and when the city will buy Steeplechase Island.
 Alderman Whitney informed some of his questioners that he was not a .clairvoyant or fortune teller and therefore he could not look far enough into the future to fix the ex- act dates when all cause for the com plaints would be removed and all the Improvements come to pass.
 He assured them, however, that they had the promise of the great Republican machine that all the inn provements they wanted would be forthcoming some day. What day he could not say.
 , or the eight present the following six were appointed on committees: Alderman Henry Kampf, George A. kuhl and Louis Hilsinger for the northern part of the district; Alder man Whitney, Michael Noonan and James P. Pronovost for the southern part of the district. < The boys or the dog did not get on any of the committees.

IN THE HOT BATHS OF JAPAN
immersion at Temperature That
Would seald the Occidental, Ex-
cites Wonder Of Visitors.

The number Of baths taken by the
japanese at the hot springs, says the
Herald Of Asia, and the length Of time
they remain In the water run counter
to all western medical opinion regard
Ing the utility Of hot baths for inyalids.
Five or six times a day for an hour
or longer at a time would not be con-
sidered an uncommon regime. A smile
OF incredullty was raised some years
ago when Professor Chamberlain told
US OF a tiny spa where the bathers
stayed In the water for a month or
more, with stones on their laps 10 pre-
vent them from floating In their sleep.
Yet / could name another remote little
spot where a very old man, well ad-
yanced in his nineties. IN fact, has lit
orally lived in the shallow warm wa
ter Of the spring for years, his knees
and neck supported by beam, from
early morn till midnight
The high temperature at which the
baths are taken has excited the wonder
OF many travellers. At Kusatsu, for in
stance, that of the chief bath is 12s de-
grees Fahrenheit; but such temper
ature necessarily involves special pre-
cautions before entering the bath, with
a limit of from three and one-half to
four minutes immersion. When we
remember that water at lis degrees
Fahrenheit can just be borne by the
hand but not by the whole body, it is
possible to realize the agony of afflict-
ed humanity in the Kusatsu baths.
At the same time the japanese skin
cannot be so sensitive as that Of the
European, for the daily tub is enjoyed
by the native at a temperature that
makes the boldest of us vince.

Height Of a Camera.

A safe rule in most cases, Is to
have the camera at such a height
that the lens is about level with the
eyes of a person of average height,
standing. This implies that most trl-
pod stands, all ultra portable ones, are
too short in the leg, as even those
which allow the camera to be at this
height only do so when the feet are
so near together that the stand is
unstable. With lenses of short focus
it is usually advantageous, especially
in interior work, to have the camera
lower, while with very long focus
lenses it may be higher to avoid a
foreshortening of the ground. In the
case Of domestic interiors, it is i'm
portant to have the lens well above
the level Of a table top. as the effect
of the furniture seen from a lower
viewpoint will be unsatisfactory.
