PALMER CHARGES UNTERMYER
 WITH PRo-GERMAN INTENT

Washington, Jan. 25.-Attorney Gen eral Palmer tonight charged Samuel Untermyer, New York attorney, with act ing "in the German interest," and with simply serving his old clients" in his recent criticisms of Mir. Palmer's con duct of the office of alien property GUS todian and attorney general
 The attorney general presented his charges in a formal statement with uuo- tations from report taken from Captain Boy-ed, former naval attache of the Ger man embassy here, upon his capture by the British in Palestine, and from the diary of Heinrich F. Albert, former chief privy councillor of the German embassy. The report of Captain Boy-ed referred to Mir. Untermyer as the unpaid judicial and legal adviser of the German embas- sy, while Dr. Albert, in his diary. is quoted as describing a meeting brought about for business reasons" at Mir. Un- termyer's estate at Grewstone.
 'The malicious reiteration by Samuel Untermyer of the baseless rumors and false charges which the friends of Ger many insistently circulate about the work of the alien property custodian" MT. Palmer said, would not call for any reply, If his recent activities had not somewhat obscured in the public mind his carrier connections which make his motives plain. He desires to undo a significant patt of the wars achieve ments. He was vigorously opposed tc the governments policy in regard to enemy owned property. He refers tc 1 enemy owned concerns in this country as properties of these unfortunate people whose sad plight he always sought tc alleviate.

Gavitt the ] latter agreed to pay s1 4s9 for the work on instaliments of s1.0O0. when the changes in plans and specifications were ready for estimates. S2o0 when the de- tails were completed. and the balance when the work covered by the revised plans was completed and the building 1 ready for occupancy. IL was also agreed that the defendant was to pay .i0 for each visit made by the architect aside
 from those specified in the agreement that such visits which were reasonably
 worth $500.

BILLS TO CREATE COMMISSIONS
 IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 25.-Bills to create; state commissions are multiplying in the general assembly. Several with varied objects made their appearance to- day in. spite of the governors recom- mendations looking to a decrease of com missions and elimination of some de- partments through consolidation in the interest of economy. One commission bill from New Haven, of considerable length, apparently aims to find the pro fiteGr'' in ice, coal, food, etc, and after finding him, convict him and send him to state prison. The bill starts off with the ice proposition, but midway gets into coal ,and concludes with general provis- ions covering all necessaries of life
 The bill of Mrs. Mary Hooker, mem Der from Hartford, to broaden the Sum day observance law by allowing sacred concerts on Sunday afternoon, was the subject of some comment. The law does not permit legally concerts before D. m, but last Sunday afternoon a concert was given at tine state armory here as a part of the program of the Connecticut Agricultural and Industrial Exposition.

WANT PART OF SALEM
 ANNEXED TO ToNTyIILE

bill has been introduced in the leg islature by the residents and property owners of the southern shore of Gard ners Lake. The purpose is to have that section of the town of Salem set apart and annexed to the town of Montville,
 Property owners in that neighborhond. many of whom arc Norwich people own ing summer places on the shore of the lake feel that they have been imposed upon to the extent that they will not stand the burden which the assessors of Salem have tried to tack on to them Their property has been taxed for near ly twice the actual values. these non resilient owners claim and they feel that this has been done because they do not happen to have a vote in the town of Salem. and apparently have no redress, but they predict before the matter Is disposed of they will have considerable redress in manner other than was ex- pected by the assessors of the town of Salem
 As one representative said. f the bill does not pass at this session of the leg 1 islature, 1t will be introduced for the next 20 years until that section of the town Is separated from the town of Sa. lem. or the assessors of Salem get down to a. basis Of fairness and justice toward people who own property in that town.
 
 so feel that as they are using the high. ways leading through the town Of Mont vile, and the wear and tear Is entirelJ on the roads of the town of MontviHe 1 that any moneys which they have to pay in the way of taxes should be paid 60 tn, | town whose roads they are using. They maintain that the assessors o Salem are not going to practice extortfor on them without their fighting to tn, | very last dH oh, and before the matter | settled the assessors of the town of sa lem will probably realize that they hay, wandered off on to a poor business ven | ture. as 1t will cost that town money no ! only to defend their efforts to keen tha section fin the town of Salem, but if the- lose 1t. they will lose all the taxes whicl | go with 1t, and the property owner, sey they can thank nobody but their owl attitude toward property owners iron whom they thought they could get som | easy money.
 The property owners feel ft is A poo | case which hasn't two sides to it, an, If the assessors think their side is tn only side they will find that they hay, greatly deceived themselves.
 Meanwhile the voters and taI-payer | in the town of Salem will have to stan the expense of tho arbitrary action Q their assessors. In fact there are man residents in the town of Salem. it Is claim cd, who think that the arbitrary actio | or the Salem assessors was entirely mn warranted, and it looks as though the VIII have 10 givo an account of inc, stewardship one of these days to th 1 town of Salem.
 The bill introduced is as follovs.
