JEALOUSY SEEN AS MOTIVE

Hartford. Jan. 21 CH-Batfled by conflicting statements made by Dr.. Harold D. Guilfoyle. veterinary. and his wife Matilda, concerning their movements on Wednesday evening when Mrs. Maximin J. Gaudet of New Haven was murdered in the hallway of the apartment house. at C91 Maple avenue in which the Guilfoyles lived. the police may ask for a warrant charging Mrs. Guil- foyle with murder. in order that the entire case may go before a grand jury, it was indicated today.
 Not Much Headway.
 The police admit they have not gained much headway in their in- vestigation. which has brought into the case half a dozen detectives. Prosecuting Attorneys Franz J. Carlson and Barclay Robinson, and County Detective Edward J. Hickey.
 They have spent most of their time questioning Dr. Guilfoyle at the Hartford hospital where he is under guard and questioning Mrs. Guilfoyle at the Hartford county jail where she is detained as ma terial witness on a technical charge of breach of the peace.
 But their thorough grilling Of these two principals in the case has been of little profit, since today the fa that fhnV have anything more than suspicious as to who fired the four shots. one of which killed Mrs. Gaudet, and another of which penetrated the doctors head with the result that he will lost the sight of one eye.
 Protecting Each Other.
 The police say they believe that the doctor and his wife are 'pro- tecting" each other and that is why little headway has been made in solving the shooting. If both main tain their present attitude of with Holding information, it is intimated Il police circles, it may be necessary to issue warrant charging the woman with the murder also.

 Doctors StatcMent
 Developments in the investigation today brought to light q statement made by Dr. Guilfoyle to detectives who arrived at the Guilfoyle apart nent soon after the shooting. The detectives asked Dr. Guilfoyle who shot him and the reply was, it has been learned, Ask her."

JET NO SERVICE,
 WANT TAX AbATED
Overlook District Property OWn- CTS Organize Community Bloc
CITE ROAD CONDITIONS
Alleged Lack of Protection by Po- licenien and Fire Department Also Offered as Evidence They Are Cn- justly Assessed.

Property owners in the Overlook avenue district are banding together for the purpose of seeking to bring about an abatement in taxes for the reason that they claim they have neither fire nor police protection and because they say their highways are not given care in the same degree as are roads in other sections of the city.
 The campaign was instituted today and Is the continuation of series of complaints. particularly against road conditions. but also because of the continued operations of a firebug in the locality and the distance from fire houses as we'll as the absence of sufficient water pressure.
 A delegation of mothers protested against highway conditions recently and there has been considerable dis satisfaction as a result of the Put nam school fire and the Swanson icehouse fire of last night. Insuffi- cient pressure is claimed to have been a contributing factor to the school damage. while the icehouse was allowed to burn without water being directed against it, it is pointed out.
 Up to several years ago, the city had two taxing districts. The entire town was included in the first dis trict and paid tax as such. Out of the way districts were not in- cluded in the second district. for the reason that they had not full polic- ing, fire protection and good high ways, and they were exempted from the second district tax. A return of this plan is to be urged.

MORE DIFFERENCES
 OVER PRAYER BOOK
British Archbkhops Attempt to - Explain Proposed Changes
FIVE CHIEF ALTERATIONS
Today's Religious Document, Third in Fortnight, Comes At Time When High and Low Church Are At Serious Loggerheads.

London. .Jan. Fl (UP)-New con- troversies in the already bitter fight in the Church of England, were forecast today after publication by the archbishops of Canterbury and
 York of changes in the revised form
 of the book of common prayer. The changes are in an attempt to
 remove apprehensions and make
 more clear and more explicit" the intentions of the prayer book. A re- vised form of the book of common prayer-without the changes just announced-was defeated by the
 house of commons several weeks ago.
 Coming at time when differences in the church of England-between the high church" and How church" factions-are the most bitter in all
 recent years. it is expected there will
 be considerable difficulty in getting
 parliament to pass the revised
 prayer book as amended. Third Document The document issued by the archbishops of Canterbury and York is the third important religious document issued in the last fort
 night. and each has brought about tremendous interest in England. The first was the Pope's encyclical which belittled attempts at any church
 unity-unless Protestants accepted the Roman Catholic faith-and the second was publication of the Malines conversations this week. The Malines conversations were be- tween Catholic and high church" leaders in an attempt to work about unity between the Church of Eng land and the Roman Catholic church.
 Five Chief Points There are five points in the
 changes .n the revised prayer book: 1-Removal of a clause which
 had been interpreted as giving arch bishops and bishops general power to make rules having the force of
 rubrics (not rules) governing the en- tire public worship of the Church of England.
 2-Give adequate protection to
 ministers who have conscientious objections to the revised book of
 common prayer.
 3-Provisions that prayers for the
 king shall be obligatory every morn
 ing and evening.
 4-Printing of the black rubric in
 the amended deposited book at the
 end of the alternative order. 5-Reservation of the consecrated
 bread and wine for the communion of the sick only. Hopes For Approval The statement said that it was hoped the completely approved re-
 visions would be ready to present to parliament before Whitsuntide. Gen. eral approval of the changes will be
 sought of the general church as- sembly February 6.
 After that the clergy, laity and
 house of bishops will make a report on the various changes desired After 1t is completely revised and
 receives the approval of the con-
 vacations. then it will be presented
 to the general assembly for final ap- proval. Probably special assembly
 Will be called for this purpose.
 After the approval of the final
 draft 1t will be presented to parlia-
 ment.

WAS EMPLOYE ON PAPER
Nesif Fl Jah, One Time Columnist On Enwright's Paper Alleged By Police to Have Admitted ExtOr- ti0n Plot.

Lynn, Mass. Jan. q R,-New developments today in the investi- gation of charges by Frederick w. Enwright, newspaper publisher. that four men had attempted to extort $25,000 from him under penalty of ceath were announced by police who said that Nesif Fl Jah. second man to be arrested, admitted he and a companion had planned to blackmaii two prominent residents of this city, one of them millionaire. Fl Jah. formerly employed by Enwright to conduct a fortune telling column in the Boston Telegram now defunct was booked on charges of assault with intent to murder, Kidnapping and blackmail
 Voluntarily Surrcndcrs
 He was arrested after long ques- t.oning and after he mad voluntarily surrendered to Boston police.
 The first man to be arrested was Frederick Dutton, 25, Enwright's chauffeur who was held in default of $10.000 on like charges.
 Fl Jah is lso wanted in Bangor, Maine, where he did newspaper work after leaving Boston on two com plaints of embezzlcment.
 The man told different story than Dutton. The chauffeur assert- ed nothing unusual occurred on Thursday. Enwright declares Fl Jah jumped into his car and held a revolver to his side while Dutton sped to lonely shack in Nahant death through a compromise agree. ment to pay the men s1 .oo0 imme- diately Enwright said, that two ether men known only as Snake and "Cannontalr' were there.
 Owed Him &3.OOO
 The former columnist asserted that Enwright owed him f3,000 for special services and that he had met the publisher at his Boston of- flee and the three had driven to Nahant to discuss payment No threats were made, he contended. He declined 10 discuss the special services" y.
 Frank l.. Bodge of Nahant. whose wife rented the camp which En- wright has identified as the place where he was held, picked Fl Jah out of a police lineup as ths man who sat in an automobile outside of his home last Wednesday night while a second man named as Kelly" negotiated for the rental of the place.
 Dutton, the chauffeur accounted for his movements Thursday but po- lice declared his alibi had not proven satisfactory. The names of the two Lynn persons who Fl Jah was said to have told police he intended 10 blackmail were not revealed by po- lice. Neither were admissions con- corning his accomplices in that at tempt which. Fl Jah said, fell through when there was misunder- standing about hiring cottage near the Lynn-Peabody line.
 Fl Jah was arraigned in district court here this morning and held in &10.000 bail for a hearing on Jan- uary 31 on a charge of assault with intent to kill.

A STATE OFFICERS
 HUNT FOR STUDENT
Intense Search Begun for
 Frances Smith
CLUES ARE STILL LACKING
Plan to Scout Countryside Around
 Northampton As No One Actually
 Saw Girl Leave Town.


 Northampton, Mass, Jan. 21 Rl-- The search for the missing Miss Frances St. John Smith took on new vigor here today.
 After a week in which countless leads and clues from many cities and states have been run down with. out result. Gen. Alfred F. Foote Massachusetts commissioner of pub. lie safety, marshaled 2i state police men for an intensive search of the woods and fields around this city.
 The complete absence of authentic information to show that the Smith college freshman. who is the daugh- ter of a wealthy New York broker ever was seen after leaving her room a week ago Friday, have determined the investigators in favor of a thor ough search of the local countryside.
 Hold Conference
 The plan was made known after . conference between Gen. Foote, Lieut.. Detective Joseph V. Daley Of the state police. MT. and Mrs. Smith and others.
 It was announced that any theory that Miss Smith may have been kid naped for ransom had been discard ed. Several letters received purport- ing to promise information in re- turn for money were branded as the works of cranks actuated by the s10,000 reward offered by Mir. Smith.
 Reports False
 Reports that the girl had been working as a maid at the Mclean hospital in Waverley were proven to be unfounded. Another that Miss Smith had several times spoken of a desire to become a nun led to a check of Catholic and Episcopalian institutions which so far had been without result today. Miss Smith was a member of the Episcopal faith.
 Northampton. Mass. Jan. 21 CuP) A systematic search for Miss Frances St. John Smith. missing Smith college student. in the wooded area within a radius of 20 miles of Northampton was begun today by A state troopers.
 The state policemen. with 12 horses. were rushed here from Bos- ton at the order of Brigadier Gen. eral Alfred F. Foote. Massachusetts commissioner of public safety.
 Decision to concentrate the search in the immediate vicinity of this college town indicated that investi- gators had definitely abandoned the theory that Miss Smith. daughter of a wealthy New York broker, was being held for ransom.
 Gets Ransom Letter
 It was learned yesterday that St. John Smith. the girls father. had re- ceived a ransom" letter. demanding $2500 for the return of his daughter alive. The letter. mailed from New York, impressed the girls relatives

Discovery that Government Bond
 Limit is Far More Than $s11 900.
 Instead of having . borrowing lee- way of less than ,s5o,000. the city is in a position to issue its obliga- tions in the amount of $1,303,9s2.23. a report issued today by Treasurer Curtis l.. Sheldon shows.
 Chairman Edward F. Hall of the board of finance and taxation last week computed the debt to show bonding authority of only s311,0OO, arriving at that figure by use of the last financial statement issued in connection with a bond sale. Chair man Hall made it plain that this figure might be increased by reason of non-taxable properties. the amount of which did not appear on the statement, but on which five per cent borrowing is allowed; and he also pointed out that sinking funds would lower the debt, and in that way increase the borrowing power.
 These are the factors which are employed in arriving at the new figure.
 Today's statement makes it pos sible for the school committee to proceed with plans for Senior High school addition. job which would have been forestalled had the $S11.- 900 figure been found to be final.
 The debt statement of the city of New Britain as of January 1. 1928, and compiled by City Treasurer Cur tis l., Sheldon, is as follows:

DENYHAB0RER
DEPORTATIONS
Donna Charges Un-
founded, Chiefs of
immigration Say

u. W. Brewster. inspector IN charge
Of immigration in the Brownsville
section, Saturday denied that any
special campaign had cen inaugurated
for the deportation OF Mexicans from
the Valley. Inspector Brewster's de-
nial was made in response to a pro-
test from Donna citizens in which
they alleged that Mexican laborers
are being deported from the United
States in large numbers.
Reports of the alleged conditions
were wired to Congressman Garner
by many Donna citizens of affluence.
IL was said. Tom Hester, wealthy
planter and cotton factor. il quoted
as saying that further deportations
Of Mexican laborers will leave the
Valley cotton growers short of cotton
pickers and many thousand bales Of
cotton may not be picked from the
fields.
immigration officials here denied
the last month a total of 90 Mexicans
ed figures to show that no such cam
paign is under way or has been un-
der way at any time. W. A. Whalen.
district director from San Antonio,
who was in Brownsville Saturday on
periodical inspection, affirmed
statements Of local officials, and pro-
fessed no knowledge Of the alleged
deportations other than he had re-
ceived from press sources.
Inspector Brewster said that during
the last month a ttoal of 90 MeNicans
have been deported from the Valley,
and all Of them had entered the Unit
ed States illegally and under the law
were not entitled to remain here,
regardless Of length of residence in
this country. The aliens, he pointed
out. had been arrested at all points
in the Valley including Rio Grande
City and Brownsville and not only at
Donna, although that place may have
furnished a large portion Of the
grand total. These figures, officials
asserted. certainly belied any allega-
tons Of a wholesale deportation cam
paign.
United States authorities have al
ways coperated with Mexican author
tiles to prevent illegal entrance 70
this country or to Mexico, officials
here declared.
An investigation Of the deportations
rs being made by Inspector Brewster
and Director Whalen. Statements by
Donna citizens that more than 200
Mexicans had been deported was de-
MED and the figures showing a much
smaller number supplied TO support
the refutations.
