Murderer Of
 Priest Unknown

Detroit, April 2-The identity of the person who shot and killed the Rev. Leo Jarecki, rector of Our Lady of Mount Carmel church at Wyandotte, near here last night and the assist ants motive remained shrouded Tn mystery early today. Authorities had established, however, that person familiar with the priests household was implicated in the act.
 Father Jarecki was at the rectory with his housekeeper when he answer ed a ring at the door and was shot down, his assailant fleeing in an auto mobile.
 !, Authorities were told by the house keeper that just before the priest was summoned there had been a knock at the door of her apartment in an other part of the house. This, of ficers believe, was an attempt to make sure the priest would answer the front door, and showed that the assassin knew the habits of the house. hold.
 Earlier in the evening an unidenti- fled person called Father Jarecki on the telephone, made an appointment with him and was given directions by the priest by which to find the rectory.

 The exhibition in the Meigs and Co. window is also att acting much attention Various pictures of '. W. C. A members in action and a. huge banner bearing the words "The Boy of Today is the Atlas of Tomorrow" have proven very interesting.

TAX PLANS BEGIN
 TO TAKE FORM
(Contnued from Page One.) )


 Sen. Smoot asserted that the pro- posa1 for the sales tax of oneIhalf of one per ent. will raise the treasury $1.25 0 ,000.000 and possibly in excess of that figure
 The aim of Senate leaders, Senator Shoot said, is to readjust the tax laws so that the wealthy will not find it possible to escape liability to the government by investing their funds in tax exempt securities
 By bringing the higher surtaxes down to g per cent the rich will not have the temptation to place their billions in bonds that are not tax able, Senator Smoot said 'The gov ernment must get it's share of the taxes from this source. That is not now possible through the retention of aires into tax exempt investments of all kinds, mainly government bonds-'
 General agreement was said to eX- iSt after the conference that not only must the excess profits be repealed but that taxes upon scattered groups of so called luXuries must be repeal ed.
 'sThis huge mistake of attempting to raise government funds by taxing ice cream cones that the ,children buy must be remedied at once," said Senator Smoot-
 Placing taxes upon such 1uxuries, which in fact are all necessary for the great mass of the people, is ridic ulous and such a method of raising revenue is now shown to be a failure. The amount collected from these so called miscellaneous luXuries groups is negligible, and no machinery is capable of fully collecting such rev. enues-"
 Secretary Mellon was informed that at the present stage of the govern ment finances the sales tax is an ade- duate and certain means of providing for the decreases caused by other pro visions to be repealed Dodging the sales tax will be rendered virtually impossible under the plans discussed at the conference.

 His mother, a writer and poetess, encouraged the literary tastes of her son and under her direction he ab- sorbed the best in English literature, his reading of the poets being very extensive. When he finally embark ed upon the sea of journalism he had found his proper element and at the end of a half century, as editor in chief, he was still in command of the bark upon which he had begun his journey.
 During this half century he took part in every movement for the up building Of Bridgeport, either per sonally or with his psn and in church, scientific society, historical society and club has advanced the particular object for which each was organized. While he made the political fortunes of others, he asked nothing import ant for himself and kept compara- lively free from the entanglements of political office.
 His life has been spent largely in the service of others and that service has been steadfast and continuous. His personal effort and his editorial strength have been freely and potent ly used in the upbuiIding of his city and he has steadily Iabored for all that was good and ennobling."
