Former Holder of Po-
 sition Swings Back
 Into Lead In Levies Against Individuals.
American Hardware Corp. Tops Industries and Booth Properties Paying Heaviest for Estates.

Fred Beloin will appear as the highest assessed property owner in the city of New Britain when the grand list is published by the board of assessors on January IS.
 Beloin for several years topped the list of individual property own CTS. but three years ago Morris Cohn forced him into second place and for successive years since that time Cohn has paid the highest tax levy.
 Louis Raphael is newcomer in the high taxpayers this year and he will step into second place with Cohn dropping from first to third. Raphael only recently completed construction of a business block on West Main street.
 A peculiarity of the situation 4x the fact that Cohn is now the owner of properties on which the assess ment will probably be higher than that paid on by either Beloin or Raphael. Shortly before the time for fixing assessments, Cohn dispos- ed of valuable holdings and made A trip to Europe. Upon his return he again took over these properties but in the meantime assessments had been made and the persons holding the estate in the interim are the ones billed by the city.
 The American Hardware Corpora ton will lead by a wide margin fl the industrial assessments. The sey. eral factories paying high taxes vii hold the same positions as in recen' years.
 Highest in valuation among es. tates is the Booth estate. This prop. erty, part of which has been dis posed of In recent years, is still suf
 fciently valuable to maintain tn , lead for several years to come, 1t | , believed.

Penn. Authorities Declare War On Garland;s Experiment Which
 They CaN Free Loue Colony
Mass. Man Who RenOunced Million Dollar Inheri- tance Now Identified With Mysterious "April Farm Association
MIGHT BE REFUGE
 FOR FALLEN WOMEN

Allentown, Pa, Jan. tIl --- The April Farm association" described by it's promoters as "an experiment in social science" and by Pennsyl- vania state authorities as "a free love colony" is destined to failure if City Solicitor Robert L. Stuart can bring about that end.
 MT. Stuart yesterday recommend ed 10 the Lehigh county courts that the application Of the association for a charter berefused, or moral grounds. Among the criticism made by the city solicitor were that the members of the association do not believe in marriage, oppose begin ming children's education until they are ten years old and appear disin- clined to live according othe tenets of the community.

Later, however. he was reported to have accepted the 1 legacy, and to have donated lare< l part of it to the American fund fol public service, said to be 8 "radica i body" This organization, although avowedly opopsed to capitalism, re l gently announced that it had made more than $1.0O0,0O0 in Wall street
 April farm," a 200 acre trac in Milford township, Lehigh county was purchased by Garland abou two months ago. There are now liv ing there 12 adults and three chil dren, and the founders planned t' bring 50 more adults, as well as ad ditional children. Little is knowl concerning Garland's motives for es tablishing the colony, and the infor nation contained in the applicatio for a charter was considered by tn authorities as not sufficient.
 Mir. Stuart, in recommending tho q charter be refused, said that Gai
 land had objected to any inquir into his private life and character. Purposes Are Unlawful "The purposes designated in tf
 application for a charter are unlaN full and injurious to the community : the city solicitor continued. "Th . evastvcness of the witnesses prt vented us from obtaining the fulle'
 information. The evidence Tarran
