OCEAN LINERS BUMP
 EACH OTHER IN FOG
Tuscania and Rochambeau Crash in New York Har-
 bor--Little Damage

New York. Feb. 21.-Two incom- ing ocean liners, the Tuscania of the Cunard Anchor line, and the Ro- chambeau's railing were ripped, while the Tuscania's stern was in- jured. The Tuscania, with 220 pas sengers on board, was returning from a cruise to the West Indies. The Rochambeau carried 1925 pas- sengers from Havre, France.
 The Rochambeau had arrived at quarantine first and had anchored. Creeping through the fog, the Tus- cania dropped one anchor and was swinging about when she struck the French boat near the bow. The majority of the Tuscania's pas- sengers were on the forward deck. Some of them were frightened but there was no semblance of a panic. No one was hurt.
 The Tuscania anchored and wait ed for the fog to lift. In addition to losing some of her railing, the Rochambeau's upper works were damaged.
 Captain David ". Bone of the Tuscania sent radio message to the Cunard offices saying that his ves- sel would be able to proceed on a scheduled Mediterranean cruise next Monday.

 The reservations were the same as those reported with the German commercial treaty. guaranteeing to each country freedom of action in restricting immigration and leaving to congress the determination of, a policy of preferential tariff treat- ment for goods carried in American ships.

CONG, O'SULLIVAN ON 'JOY RIDE IN AIR Flies Over National Capital as Guest of General
 Mitchell
BY GEORGE II. MANNING.

(washingtoa Bureau Of N. B. Heraid)
 Washington, D. C., Feb. 21.-Rep- resentative Patrick B. O'Sullivan of Derby, Conn.,. went "joy riding" in an airplane today for about ar hour with General William Mitchell, as- sistant chief of the army air service, who has created such a furore in army and navy circles with his con tention that the air services of the army. navy and post office depart ments should be concentrated in one unified air service. independent of the other branches of the goy- ernment.
 O'Sullivan is a member of the special committee of the house which has been Investigating the general subject of aviation from all viewpoints. It was the testimony of Mitchell and other authorities be- fore this committee which brought about the spirited controversy over aviation.
 O'Sullivan has had several con- versations with General Mitchell on occasions when the stormy petre" of the air service has appeared be- fore the house committee and today accepted an invitation from the general to go "joy riding" in the air.
 They went together in General Mitchell's private airplane, which he uses daily and operates person. ally much in the manner that busi- ness men use their automobiles. General Mitchell demonstrated in the hour they were in the air over all sections of Washington many of the points he had stressed in his testimony before the committee about the utter defenselessness of the national capital from attack by airplane.
 MT. O'Sullivan said after his ride that he enjoyed the experience 1m- Imensely.

Taxable Value of Prop erty In Many h. stances To Be Kept At Same Figure As In 1924. ....
New Construction, Espec- ially by Factories, to Be Basis for Jump in Grand List.

Fewer increases in the as- sessment of property held by individuals will be made on this years grand list than in many years past, it was learned this afternoon at the office of the board of assessors.
 There will be an increase of about $4,000,00O over grand list of last year, but this will be made up through new con- struction, particularly of new factories which will. bear the brunt of the tax assessment boost.
 The grand list of approxi- mately $97,50O,0OO is the basis upon which taxes have been levied for next year, but it is expected that the list will come closer to $9S,O00,0O0.
 It is the custom Of the. board of assessors each year to send an- nouncement to the owners of prop erty where there is to be an increase in the assessment, and practically all 7. these announcements have gone out. They are comparatively few in number. In all but few instances, persons who have made no changes in their holdings since last year, will find the assessment has not been in creased. There are some instances where acreage has been cut up in building lots or additions have been made to buildings. The new con- struction will cause an increase and the land, made more valuable by reason of its preparation as building lots, will cause !. boost.
 The reassessment carried { IT, der the direction of Appraisal En- gineer Thomas Linder is responsible for the present condition where fiuc- tllation in assessments is unusual. That is one of the objectives of the new plan, it is explained, since there should be no occasion for frequent changing of assessments once an equitable basis has been esta blished. The tax revenue needs might require changes in the tax rate, but assess ments will remain at practically the same figure, excepting when im- proven1ents or neighborhood depre- citation necessitate Q revising.
 With the establishment of zoning will be few and far between, mem- bers of that commission feel, and the present rate of assessment will be subject to few amendments.
 The grand list will be completed next week and issued on Saturday when the assessors will meet with the board of relief.
 City Meeting Board
 The city meeting board will he In session. Monday evening, March 2 to receive and act upon estimates of income and expenditure prepared by the board of finance and taxa, ton. and to pass on proposal that the tax rate for the next fiscal veal be 23& mills on the dollar.

Giant Air Cruiser Does Not Moor, Owing To Weather Conditions, And Turns Nose Homeward At lO:lO a. m.
Assistant Sec. of Navy En- toying Trip, Predicts Commercial Airlines Will Supplant Steamship Routes.

Washington, Feb. 21.--The airship Los Angeles, which flew to Bermuda during the night from Lakehurst left on her return journey at 1o:1d o'clock this morning, the Navy de- partment was informed by radio.
 The great airship did not attach herself to the mooring mast of the tender Patoka as had been intended owing to weather conditions.
 Arriving in sight of Bermuda al 4:48 o'clock the Los Angeles cruised above the islands for several hours. The sky was overcast and it was found that difficulties in the way os mooring were too great.
 In returning without nooring th.. officers on the Los Angeles followed previously mapped plan, navy de- partment officials said, which pro- vided for a quick return if weather conditions were not favorable to the program originally outlined.
 Hit Up Fast Clip
 On Board the U. S. Air Liner Los Angeles En Route to Bermuda, Feb. 20.-(9:15 p. m.)-When darkness settled over the Atlantic on tho route followed by the airship Los Angeles, the big craft was making 65 miles an hour in her flight to Bermuda.
 The evening meal was served on small tables rigged between the seats in the passenger car and con- sisted Of roast beef, spaghetti, navy beans, bread, butter, coffee. cake and fruit. Knives and forks were novelties, and like everything else on board impressed one with the ingenuity evidenced in weight say ing.
 Nobody was allowed to drop any thing overheard because it would tighten the ship and the officers guarded against the necessity Of having to release helium in order to descend,
 The air was somewhat warmer and bumpier in the unstable condi- tions over the Gulf stream.
 Assistant Secretary Robinson Of the navy declared the experience was almost beyond comprehen- sion."
 ITO think" he said that I left Lakehurst near New York this af- ternoon. will sleep comfortably to- night and be in Bermuda when ] awake. I am glad to make this pioneer trip and expect this ship to make many others. In few years commercial airship lines will be as commonplace as steamship lines.
 Tt is fitting the navy should do this pioneering, for commercial f1iers will be as valuable to our air services in time of war as our merchant marine is to our surface vessels"
