100 ASK ABATEMENT
 OF PERSONAL TAXES
Petitions Will Be Acted Up. on at Meeting of Mayor
 and Aldermen Friday

At what will probably be the busi- est session of the mayor and board of aldermen ever held, 100 appli- cants for abatement of personal taxes will be heard at City Hall, Friday evening. In the main, the applicants are widows and cripples enumerated in the last registration by which women were brought within the pale cf personal tax liabilities.
 To be considered are also a mum Ter of ex-servicemen's petitions. In all cases where service is proved and an honorable discharge is exhibited, the abatement will be allowed in ac- cordance with state law. One of the petitioners, William H. Beckett. a veteran of the Spanish American war, will ask tax abatements over a period of IS years.
 Because of the great number of petitioners for abatements who pre- sented themselves at the collectors office it was decided to lay all such applications over until the September meeting of the mayor and aldermen, rather than present them to the council and then have them referred to the board
 There are also the usual property tax abatement petitions to be consid- cred One of the most important of these is the request of the Salvation Army that its Arch street building, rart of which is used for religious services, be exempted

Union Officials Decline to Comment on Possibility of Strike Settlements on Many Roads.

Chicago, Sept. 13, (By Associated Press) Efforts of attorneys for the striking shopcraft leaders to forestall the reading of additional hundreds of the 10000 aff1davits of violence, pro. duced by the government in support of it's injunction bill, failed again to- day.
 The government rejected all over lures for speeding up the case by eliminating or classifying the afi- davits, and Judge James H. Wilker- son sustained the prosecution's right to the broadest latitude.
 With rumors afoat for more than week of impending settlements on as many as 60 roads, MT. Jewell and his associates persistently declined to comment upon the reports.
 Assurance was given the executive council by R. J. Tallon. head of Can adian shopmen that workers on Can adian railroads would hold their strike call in abeyance pending defi- nite action by the policy committee here. A report of the wage grievances and the strike vote of Canadian shop men was submitted to Mir. Jewell

THINK PAONESSA
 WILL BE NAMED
Some Feel That Democrats Will Pit Him Against Pallotti. Republi-
 can Candidate

Close friends of Mayor A NJ Paon- essa this afternoon voiced the opinion that he will be the democratic nom inee for secretary of state, at the state convention at Hartford next week, These claims are based on the success of Judge Francis A, Pallotti of Hart ford. in securing the similar nomina- tion at the republican convention at New Haven today a.
 For some time the democrats are said to have been watching with in terest just what would be done with the Pallotti boom for the secretary ship, and that in case of the Hartford man meeting with success, it was the plan to pit the local politician against him in an effort to grab the Italian vote in Connecticut at the November election.
 While opponents of Paonessa are elated over his defeat last week, his supporters raise the argument that his popularity has not suffered to any appreciahle extent by a reverse in simple ward caucus, and that at the coming convention he will display the fact that he still retains popularity and ability to get votes

CONG. CONVENTION
 TO BE IN HARTFORD
Committee Selects September 27 as Date-Gathering Will Be Held in
 Putnam Phalanx Hall,

Rejecting proposals that the con- gressional convention be held in this city this year, and that 1t ~ some time in advance of the state convention, the congressional commit tee at a meeting yesterday voted to hold the gathering at Putnam Pha- lanx hall, Haynes street, Hartford, September 27, at 10 o'clock, standard time.
 The committee felt that there was not sufficient reason for making a change in the place of meeting this year, Hartford having been the gathering place of the several delega- tions from the first district for many years At the congressional conven- tion, the action of the state delegates Is customariIy ratified. and if the order of meetings is changed this year, this could not be done.
 A meeting of the local delegation will probably be held shortly for the purpose of organization. Lawrence P Mangan will head the Hardware City representation, 1t Is expected.

New Haven, Sept. 13.-L. J. Kicker
 son took the stage at the G. o. P. convention in New Haven this after noon and read the resolutions of which he had been the custodian, They were long and covered wide range of subpect. Endorsement was given to the work of the Connecticut delegation in congress and especially to Senator Mclean and approval giv- en of his aggressive action on tariff banking and currency legislation. The party's tariff bill was praised.
 After Mir. Nickerson had moved adoption of the platform, Russell Rice of New Haven from the stage, declared the platform was a mere mass of ''glittering generalities." He offered minority report declaring that the republican party has been ruled not by persons acting for the interests of the people but for the interests"
 He said that camoufage must be
 stopped and the rights of women must be, recognized" He declared that wafsrs rights in the state Fave

 Senator Brandegee put the motion to table and Col Ullman asked if it was debatable. The chair said it was not.

Washington, Sept 13.-Opponent. of dye emba. go lost today in the house in the first phase of their fight to have that provision stricken out of the tariff bill
 Washington, Sept. 13.-Action of the republican conferees in writing back into the administration tariff bill a dye embargo provision was de- nounced today in the house of Rep resentative Fish, republican, New York, as "the worst example of the workings or invisible government" he had ever seen.
 MT Fish's statement was greeted with vigorous applause from both the republican and democratic sides and 1t was with difficulty that Representa- tive Longworth, republican, Ohio one of the tariff conferees was able to break in with point of order against MT. Fish's line of argument as being not germane. The point was sustain ed.
 Launching his promised fight against the dye embargo provision. which also is to come under fire in the senate, Representative Fish made the point of order that the conferees had exceeded their authority in writ ing into the bill a provision which both the house and senate had re- jected by direct votes.
 Meets Earlier Today
 The house. meeting an hour and a half earlier than. usual planned to take final action on the administration tariff bill before adjournment late to- day, thus paving the way for it's final action tomorrow on the soldiers bonus bill
 Spirited exchanges between flemo@s cratic opponents and republican pro- ponemei1ts were looked for.
 The bill which has been nearly two years in the making is the most amended measure in the history of the American congress. The senate finance committee made 2,917 changes in the original house bill. the senate increased this number to 2,436 and the conferees in perfecting the meas ure added several hundred more run ming the total to around 5000.
