Grim Reaper Alone Prevents
Actor From Taking Sixth Wife
THEATRICAL STAR SINCE 1874
Death Due to General Breakdown in
Health Following Removal of His
Boston, Mass.

New York, Jan. 31.-Nat C. Good
win, the actor, died at a hotel here
early today after a, brief illness. He
came to New York last Monday from
Baltimore, where he had been play
ing. Death was due to a general
breakdown in health, following an
operation for the removal of his
right eye several months ago.
Born at Boston, July 25. 1857,
Goodwin was a, familiar figure on the
American stage for many years. He
made his first appearance in 1874,
and subsequently played leading
roles in many successful plays, both
in the United States and England.
The removal of Goodwin's eye was
the result of an error an employe
made several weeks ago in preparing
an eyewash for the actor. Chloro-
form instead of the usual liquid was
placed in the cup and Goodwin's eye
was seriously injured.
Suffers ApopIectic Stroke.
At the hotel here today it was
stated that the actor suffered a slight
stroke Of apoplexy just before he
died. Goodwin's histrionic career was
said to date back to his school days
in an academy at F'arming gton, Me,
where his ability at mimicry won
him local renown. After brief peri
ods at cIerkship in Boston stores dur
ing which he read Shakespeare and
studied dramatic art, he made his
professional debut as a newsboy in
"Law in New York, at Boston in
1874. The following year found him
at the famous Tony Pastors in New
York and from then until his death
his theatrical activities were marked
with almost uninterrupted successes,
both as star and as producer.
Was Married Five Times.
Goodwin was five times married.
His first wife was Eliza Weatherby,
a comedy actress, who died in 1887. A
few years later he married Nellie Ba-
lzer Pease: 1898, Maxine Elliott, with
whom he appeared in a large roper
toire of plays, including several of
Shakespea res: subsequently, Miss
Edna Goodrich (Bessie Edna Steph
ens), who was his leading woman for
several years. His most recent wife
was Margaret Moreland, now the wife
of an army lieutenant, He was soon
to have taken a sixth wife, Georgia
Gardner, of Los Angeles, Cal, who IS
playing in the company in which
Goodwin was starring at the time of
his death. She came here few days
ago to arrange for his care here.
Burial will take place at Roxbury,
Mass, where the actors parents live.

FINED $50 FOR THEFT OF
KNIVES AT I1ANDERS' SHOP

Dominic Amorosco was fined $40
and costs by Judge James It. Mesklll
in police court this morning on a
charge of having stolen cutlery valued
at $40 from the Washington street
branch Of the L,anders, Frary & Clark
factory. Three boys, charged with
similar offense, claimed that "every
man in the shop" has at least five
knives. One of the boys explained
that the boss had cut my pay, SO
he took the knives to make up the
difference. Fines of SIS, 81 and 81
were imposed on the boys.

Assessors Roundly Scored.

During the meeting the chairman
and secretary were appointed a COM
mittee to name five members Of the
organization to take immediate steps
toward the solving of the taxation
problem in this city. 1t mas been ad-
mitted by member of the Organiza-
ton that the courts may be resorted
to if no satisfaction is obtained. Mem
bers of the association favored the
petitioning to the legislature for an
investigation of the board and it's
methods. Taxpayers in Bridgeport
recently set up a similar howl over
the rapid increase in the tax rates,
and as result the board in that city
faces investigation by q special COM
mittee. The board as a whole was
under fire last night. Some of the
members, in voicing their opinion,
said that a man getting only 500 a
year must be incompetent and it was
further claimed that the city would
fare better by having a one-man
board, and paying an ipviting salary
to an official who understood the
proper valuation of property and the
IeVying of taxes

A big gathering of indignant tax
payers filled Room 80 in Booths S
block last evening when an organiza
ton of taxpayers was formed who
are loud in their protests of the re-
cent boosting of rates on properties,
particularly those on Main street. At
the outset of the meeting officers were
chosen as folloWs: p. S. McMahon,
chairman; Isadore Simons, vice chair
man; w. w. Leland, secretary and
treasurer. It is probable that New
Britain Taxpayers association will
be the name given the organization
and the slogan adopted is "A Square
Deal For Everyone". The meeting
was not confined to Main street tax
payers there being representatives
from every part of the city who
voiced strenuous objection to tho
methods and increases as imposed by
the board of assessors. While no
definite action was taken. the local
administration came in for u scath-
ing criticism. The tax rate ct the be
ginning of the present municipal ad-
ministration was discussed and
tainly did not cause any Of the re-
publican voters to raise his voice in

Taxpayers league bill for inquiry into

make the inquiry, the amendment pro-
posal went to the cities and boroughs
committee for report.

tory rights to vote for presidential and

on a site and recommendations for a
residence at the next session.
Local Gas Company Petitions.
There were petitions to revise the
laws of taxation of water, gas. cleo
trio and power companies, the New

Taxpayers Want Square Deal.

l. Simons explained that the meet
ing was a preliminary step in move
ment to have the tax rates Ieveled so
that the merchants, manufacturers
and every other taxpayer would re-
ceive square deal. Mr.. Simons is
one of the prime movers in the cam
paign.
w. w. Leland said that the manu-
facturers should not be singled out,
but that the meeting was called to
make an attempt to put the taxing
system on Il business basis so that
every taxpayer would be dealt square,
Iy with.
William Sheehan cited the example
of the Bridgeport taxpayers in pre-
senting a petition to the legislature
and this was thought to be good
plan, although no action was taken in
that direction at the meeting.
AS an echo to the statement made
by Alderman A. NJ. Paonessa, that the
local manufacturers were under-as-
gessed, a general howl was made
when the mention was made. One of
those present stated that he had the
word Of a former assessor that one
local manufacturing concern was put
In at 10 per cent. Of its actual prop
erty valuation.

Declines to Be Party to Division
Of German Colonies Among ViCtors
CRISIS BELIEVED. PASSED
Belief L. Expressed That Confcrces
Have Adopted Compromise Pro-
gram-Ciyilized Colonies May BE
Given Self Government.

Paris, Jan. 81 (By The Associated
Press. 1.-The crisis in the peace ne
gotiations over the disposition to be
made Of Germany's colonies seems to
have passed, III mOmentarily at least It
is too early to say that President Will
sons view has prevailed in it's entire
ty, but in American quarters there is
confidence that a compromise plan,
which has been accepted in primo ciple,
will be worked out with details which
will be acceptable to the American
viewpoint.
When the supreme council meets
today it will have before it the very
plain statement made by President
Wilson at Wednesdays late session.
SO particular was Mr.. Wilson to have
an exact record of what he had said
that soon after entering the meeting
he summoned one of his personal
stenuyraphers and kept him at his side
during the session.
Heated Meeting Hintcd At.
What he said did not appear in the
official communiQue, nor has it been
disclosed with any official authority,
but il may be stated that it was a very
clear reaffirmation of the principles
for which the president has previous
ly contended. In phrases stripped Of
diplomatic niceties, it is understood,
Mr.. Wilson told the members of the
supreme council he would not be party
to the division of Germany's colonial
possessions among the powers which
now hold them and then become a
party to q League Of Nations which,
in effect, would guarantee their title.
There are differences that the presi-
dent even referred to a peace of
loot"
The net result Of the past two days
of discussion on the colonial question.
in the opinion of many Americans
here. has been to clear the atmosphere
generally and to force a clear defini-
tion of aims on all sides.
