One of the most pathetic features
OF the present rush for money and for
wealth is the multitude Of honest and
well meaning people who throw mon
ey away on speculative investments
and wildcat projects. The mails are
loaded with gIittering literature ad-
dressed TO sucker lists" written to
tempt inexperienced people to invest
in oil stocks, mining ventures, and
other schemes OF most dubious and
uncertain character. People who con-
template investigation in such pro-

that an executive committee be ap- pointed and a time and place set for the election of officers. The executive committee was named to consist of Messrs. McMahon, Sirnons, Le Witt, Sweeney, Ciecynski and Haloran- McMahon, Sweeney and Simons agreed to serve on the group and the others, including seventh member whose name could not be secured, declined, the informant claims. The matter of eIecting officers or supply ing the committee with additional members was never again brought up, according to information received to- day.
 Memberships Taken.
 Memberships in the organization" were taken and fee of a few dol- lars for each was required. The money was spent in advertising the plans Of the organization and distributing hand-bills calling attention to mass meetings and proposals of the group. At one time, after the president and committee on publicity had present. ed "copy'' to the newspapers for ad- vertising, Treasurer Simons called at the office with new copy" When in formed of the action of McMahon and the press committee he replied, ''I am
 
 ent produced by Simons appeared that evening.
 MT SimonS, the treasurer, explain ed that the association has no char ter, but has officers who were elected for an indefinite period last year. The executive committee consists of seven members all of whom are still serV- ing, he thought.
 J. M Hal1inan. whose name was mentioned as @ member of the eNecu- tive committee, was asked if he still served on that group and replied:
 ,"I have nothing to say: It is a pri- vate matter. I'll neither deny nor af- firm it''
 George Levitt, another member of the committee, according to the in forrnant, has positively refused to serve.
 At 1880 o'clock this afternoon, an hour ard a half before the scheduled time for the hearing, Anton Ciecynski, who was a member of the executive committee last veal, had not heen in formed of the meeting and didn't know just what his status was.
 Atty. M A. Sexton. who was promi- nent in the activities of the taxpayers group last year as attorney. was asked this morning if he could explain the organization of the New Britain Tax payers association. He replied that his connections last year were as an attorney for the group but ne knew nothing of their activities this year. He added that MT. McMahon Would have to be consulted on tho matter

At 8 o'clock this afternoon the ex- ecutive committee of the New Britain Taxpayers association appears before the board of relief for the purpose of asking for a new factory assessment throughout, the result of which is to be increased valuations in this item of the grand lists, with 8 subsequent lowering of the tax rate, according to the associations claims
 With the announcement that the executive committee of the Taxpayers association is to begin its cam paign for the year there arises a question as to who and what the organization is. From information given out this morning from a creditable source, the person and place of which is being withheld, there is not now nor has there ever been such an organization as The New Britain Taxpayers as- soeiation.''
 Only Few Members.
 If such is the case there can be no such group as an executive com mittee, and P. s. McMahon, president, and Isador Simons, treasurer, are self styled officers of mythical organ ization. It was further explained that an executive committed appointed by the "president'', consisted of seven persons, four of which have subSe- ouently refused to serve on that group, so that when the committee is given 9 hearing this afternoon 1t can consist only of Messrs. McMahon. Simons and Sweeney of the original committee, supplemented possibly, by other individuals who have interested them selves in the increased assess ments of factories and lowering of city tax rates, according to the Herald's informant.
 No Officers Ever Elected.
 In explanation of his claim that the ssociation has never been in exist ence, tho person who was interviewed this morning and who was at one time actively connected with civic move ments for strict frugality in city of fees, has stated that no meeting was ever called for the election of officers and that at no time during the course set of leaders been chosen.

Disabled Motors May
 Reduce Trolley Service

With the present -snoWstorm adding more to the troubles of the Connec- ticut company there is possibility of reduced service on number Of the local lines it was stated today. The snow has become packed beneath the rails to such a height that the motors are dragging on the ice en- crusted snow resulting in the burn ing out and disabling of number of motors. The motors are protected ordinarily by q pan. but the pans are wearing through due to the constant rubbing against the ice and snow al lowing the motors to be exposed. Several cars were lifted of the ralls owing to the motors resting on the ice between the tracks. The situa- +;on is becoming acute and is giving the trolley officials much concern.
