VALUATIONS PUT ON INDUSTRY PROPERTY
 WILL BE REARRANGED
ASSOCIATION SECURE PROMISE FROM BOARD OF RELIEF TO THIS EFFECT THIS ACTION WILL STOP CON-
 VENTILATED PROTEST

Manufacturers of Bridgeport scored a signal victory this morning in their fight with the city to secure lower taxation. George s. Hawley, secretary of the Manufacturers Association was in conference with the Board of Relief and secured a promise that the board would start at once to rearrange all of the valuations placed upon
 industrial property.
 In discussing the matter wfth 2. Times reporter, Attorney Hawley said:
 The tax matter was brought to the attention of the Board of Relief this morning and after consideration by them a satisfactory adjustment was made so that the manufacturers do not at this time contemplate making any protest"
 According to Tax Comn1issioner Connor the city originally intended to increase the manufacturers taxes about 40 per cent over last year,s mark. He predicted that when the Board of Relief rearranges the valua.- Ilon or local industries there would only be decrease of 10 per cent. In some cases he said the board would not probably make any deduc- ! 1on- The morning conference eyi- dently brought about an arniabIe un- derstanding because the city seems now willing to comply with the de- mand of local industry to cut down the proposed high rate of taxation.
 Manufacturers and business fnen Of the city were particularly hard hit this year by the enormous increases in taxes amounting to millions Of dol lars The unprecedented rise caused concern to every large industry in the city, and as soon as the Remington 4ost company announced its inten- tio of leaving Bridgeport, the associa- ton decided to take immediate and collective action to avoid being co1ns pelled to adopt similar action.

CUT ICE TO
 STOP DAMAGE
 10 OLD BRIDCE E:
Fear Structure Would Not
 Stand Pressure From Floes

The State Highway Department and the contractors for the new Washington bridge have commenced to cut away the ice on the Housatonic river just south of the old bridge in order to prevent the bridge being damaged or carried away by the ice from the upper stream which 1t is expected will break up with this mild weather.
 Two years ago after the very cold winter it was necessary to dynamite the river in order to break the ice and if the present mild weather con- tinues for many more days it will be necessary. to use dynamite again this year.
 The ice just below the bridge is about a foot thick and that above, in the fresh water, is still thicker. If there should be a sudden break up of this ice followed by a northeast wind storm, it is feared that the old bridge would not be able to stand the pressure of the ice from above The highway department is trying te open the river below the bridge in order to allow the ice to pass through i to the Sound

MAYOR HOLDS A STAR CHAMBER
 SESSION

Mayor Wilson held 8 Star Chamber session with seven members of the police depart ment this morning. The utmost secrecy was supposed to enshroud the conclave, but one careless minion forgot to appear in multi. All efforts to find out the pur- pose of the session proved futile. Both the mayor and the "cops" who serve while they stand and wait, were adamant to alFqueries. Who knows? Perhaps the police were receiving their Croix de GueTTes for recent election work, or maybe they help clean streets.

WAS
 EQUALLY
 FAULT
Had Agreed on Advisa- bility of Holding
 Meeting.
MESSAGES WERE
 SENT TO PRESIDENT

Washington, Feb. 14-Secre- tary Lane declared today that he considered himself ''just as much reseponsible'' as Secre- iary Lansing for the calling of cabinet meetings during the Presidents illness. "He said Mr. Lansing called him on the telephone and obtained his ap- proval of the idea before call ing the first meeting and "pre- sumably secured the approval of other cabinet members also."
 we all thought the meetings were a good thing,'' said MT. Lane, who re- tires as secretary of the interior on March 1. They were often attended by Dr. Grayson and messages were transmitted to the president on ques- tions discussed. The critical situa- ton precipitated by the coal strike came up for consideration as well as matters pertaining to the first indus- E trial conference, and other important questions. I feel that I attended the meetings on g full level of responsi- bility with Secretary Lansing in as much as I had agreed to the advisa- bility of their being held. Other mem bers of the cabinet apparently took the same position.'
 Asked whether the question of the constitutionality of, the meetings ever had been raised among the cabinet m em bers, Secretary Lane replied: ''No; not at ali. The question was never discussed in any way"

HOLLAND APT ID
 RESENT DICTATION
 AS 10 EX-EMPER0R
WOULD PROBABLY ACCEDE TO POLITE RE- QUEST TO REMOVE HIM FARTHER FROM GERMAN FRONTIER--CONTEN
 OF NEW NOTES KEPT SECRET

The Hague, Feb. 14-Holland probably would not be unwill- ing to accede to a polite request from the allies to put former Emperor William farther from the German frontier than he is at present, it has been learned here, but would undoubtedly resent any dictation as to sending him to a Dutch island or any particular place.
 Paris, Feb. 14.---Contents of the notes to Germany and Holland, ap- proved yesterday at the meeting of the supreme allied council in London will remain secret until the communi- cations are received in Berlin and The Hague. The Matin, however, believes the notes constitute aSvery imDortanf step toward conciliation.
 This newspaper declares the note sent to Berlin demands eXtraditton only of Germans charged with the commission of direct crimes, and ad- nuts tn9 u1IIlCulIlGS SeTuldny WOuiu encounter in attempting to surrender those whose responsibility is more distant and general.
 The note. however, is asserted to remark that any leniency shown in this respect can not be looked upon as precedent Germany may use to transgress other clauses of the Yer sail1es treaty. It is pointed out that this is an isolated case which shows the conciliatory attitude of the allies fn the interest of European peace.
 It is said the note sent to Holland recognizes the possibility of Hollands refusal to surrender former Emperor William on condition his residence is removed to territory outside o' Europe, the Dutch East Indies, for in- stance.
