Death Taxes" Long a
Point of Disputation

The old Roman writer Pliny,

sions for ex-service men over 1900
years ago. argued that the deep grief
felt by the family because of the
death of the loved one should not be
made more crushing by the further
imposition of a tax.
The German writer's OF our day,
basing their views on the great econ
Omist. Adam Smith. also hold that
there is p direct ratio between the
grief felt by the heir and his rela-
tionship TO the deceased. In fact, the
graduated rates in Germany minute
ly recognize the varying degrees from

family 10 the exultation felt by dis
tant relatives. They call these lat
ter 'lachender erbe," or laughing

cause children TO be- disrespectful to

these taxes discriminate against

An argument usually urged in IA

Joseph Sullivan and George Flavin decided the cases of the accused to- day. The raid was made about two weeks ago by Captain Daniel J. Carson and his squad. The evi- dence at the time was considered insufficient, and the court ordered that the patrolmen on the beat be summoned into court. They testi- fled today and Judge McGrath was convinced that the establishment bore a unsavory reputation. The fines and jail sentence resulted.
 A continuance until January 12 was granted in the cases of Joseph Nardelli, AZ, of 447 South Main street, Henry Gagne, 22, of 1909 South Main street and John Wall, 35, of 911 South Main stret. They are charged with having gambling devices in their possession.
 Timothy Cronin, 27. of 23 How ard street, charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor, had his hearing postponed until December 29th. Cronin was the driver of the atfto- mobile, which crashed into Con- necticut Company bus on West Main street last week. One pas- senger was reported injured.

LINDBERCH HAS MADE PRESENT
 OF GREAT PLANE
Surprised American Muse= um President By Amaz-
 ing Gift of Machine

New York, Dec 22.-(UP)-The story of how the American Museum of. Natural History came into pos- session of one Of the most cele- brated of existing airplanes-the machine in which Col and Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh recently com pleted a 30,000 mile tour of four continents-was revealed to-day. F. Turbee Davison, president of the museum, was informed by a breathless assistant yesterday that Colonel Lindbergh wished to speak to him on the telephone. Lind bergh had spoken but a moment when Davison too was breathless. The colonel had asked permission to donate the plane and all of it's equipment. Dawson lost no time in accepting.
 The offer was a complete sur- prise. There had been no intima- tion that he contemplated giving up the machine which in addition to its recent exploit, carried he and Mrs Lihdbergh- to China and enabled them to establish new transcontinental record in 1880.
 Dawson immediately arranged lOE d COHLSIcuCc WILL COiOHcl duu Mrss Lindbergh and they agreed to deliver. the plane sometime between Christmas and New Years. Lind- bergh at first seemed reluctant to give up the motor which has flown 250 hours of a normal life of 4,000, but when Davison reminded him in jest that he had promised all equipment on the telephone, he threw in the motor.
 The plane will be suspended from the ceiling in the museums hall of ocean life, safely away from the damaging hands of the curi- ous, but in such position that it can be clearly viewed from all angles from nearby balcony

MANY AGENCIES
 HELP NEEDY
This City Getting Through the Depression Without
 Much Real Suffering

With the good work being done by the CWA, the Mutual Aid and other agencies Waterbury is get ting through the depression with out much real hardship. The fine weather helps, too. So far there were but few days when able bod jed men could mot hustle with picks and shovels out of doors. Some are curious to know where all the money the government is putting out comes from, how and when it will be paid back, but those who are worried about this have nothing to offer that would be an improvement on what is being done.
 The country is passing through the most trying period in its his- tory and those who are standing between the unemployed and star vation are doing more for the ben- eft of communities than some are willing to admit. If the government had done nothing, communities would have to bear the whole bur- den, for no matter what some may say, the law makes 1t an obligation on towns and cities not to permit that the best thing for all to do under existing conditions is to speak favorably of what is being done and not do any stewing about how the money now being dis tributed will be paid back. A large number who are annoyed over this may not be spared to pay any of the back bills, and those who will be called away will stand a better show in the future state provided they hmelped thap the tight listed who wept over the few dollars they might have to contribute to the fund.

VETERANS LEAGUE
 WILL INVESTIGATE
Appoint Committee to In= quire Into Death of
 James J. Scholar ~

The Veterans League held meeting last evening at the club rooms on Bank street. State Secre- tary George McGrath presided. A special committee was appointed to investigate into the death of it's State Commander James Scholar, a special election took place and George l.. McGrath was appoint ed temporary commander of the 9th Congressional district. It is expected that William Edwards. vice commander of the local chap ter, will be elected state secretary at the state meeting next month. The club appointed a committee to give formal dinner dance at the Elton hotel in the near future in honor of Major Thomas J. Banni- gan, who for the past fifteen years has been a constant friend to all ex-soidiers. The members voted to open its membership to National Guardsmen, Sons of Veterans, and Veterans of Foreign Armies, who were allies during the World war, all must be citizens of these united States.

on each street with a 165 foot frontage on Cliff street and 132 foot frontage on Pond street. The board accepted the offer of the land.
 A letter from the state highway officials was received suggesting CWA work be concentrated on con- struction of footpaths along exist ing highways in order to prevent accidents. The section on Route 8 from St James cemetery to the state scale house was one men, toned in the letter and the Platts Mills road section to Prospect street was also mentioned as be- ing places likely to involve acci- dents if there are no footways. Co., operation from the state was as- sured. He said this was the one near the Peter Paul Candy factory along which he said 800 girls walk back and forth every day with risk of life.
 New Parking Rules
 Burgess Brophy asked why &C., tion had not been taken on the new parking regulations on South and North Main and on the Me- morial bridge. The board voted at the regular meeting to change the existing regulations. Warden Whittemore said weather condi- tions had prevented the marking of lanes on the bridge but said that parking standards for the North and South Main sections had been ordered. Burgess Brophy said merchants had asked him why no action was taken and pointed out that the regulations were much needed now as this is one of the busiest times of the year for the merchants.
 It was decided to have the street committee investigate the condi. tion of things on Olive street be- tween German and Lewis streets and of Krodel road.
 Old Fire Engine Burgess Sheridan asked what would happen to the old fire en- zine, pointing out it might be cheaper to turn it in even at the $1OO turn-in price the warden said the town would get for it than have it repaired and pay the ex- pense of two men to man it. War den Whittemore said a town might find use for it and might give better sum. Burgess Sheridan brought laugh at the end when he extended his Christmas greet ings to the board and to members of the press. He was jubilant as a result of the success of his motion.
 The question of repairing the road at the entrance of the Naug- atuck Chemical company was brought up by Burgess William Noble, and Warden Whittemore said the matter had already been taken up with officials there and that it had been agreed to try Q stop sign to correct the condition. It was brought out during this discussion that a steel cattle fence cannot be erected to replace a board fence near the railroad bank nor the Chemical company because the old deed states that a board fence shall be erected there in order to prevent the horses from bein. frightened by the roar of the railroad enginesA The local legal lights will endeavor to find a way around this cause to secure a steel fence there. the fence now be- ing decrepit.

Notwithstanding the contention of counsel for the defense that the only indisputable evidence against a disorderly residence should come from "hired stool-pigeons", Judge John r. McGrath disposed of three cases today, which had been pend ing for two weeks. An appeal to the court of common pleas resulted in the case of Sadie Mussa, Al, of 476 North Main street. She was given thirty days in jail as the proprietress. Dolores DeRosa, 22, of 71 Phoenix avenue was fined $10 and costs. Vera King, 21, of the same address, failed to appear and her bond of $500 was declared forfeited. Lebo Ricci, 30, of 22 Bergin street, was fined $10 and costs. He also gave notice of an appeal.
 When it came time for the sen- fenced accused to post a bond or be taken from the court room and ladged in police headquarters Ricei with the remark, Well, I'm good guy. Let the girl go. I'll go to jail," produced roll of bills and paid Miss DeRosa's fine, which amounted to $32. Ricci was re- gently arrested as a member of a suspected gang of bandits, but was discharged in superior court. He has previous police record on various offenses.

almost immediately brought to a standstill by the driver, Patrick Egan, who kept the bus under con trol despite the mishap.
 Frank Bailey, claim agent of the company, stated when talked with that none of the passengers had been hurt. He considered the ac- cident an unfortunate one. He ex- pressed satisfa ction with the fact that everybody escaped uninjured.
 News of the mishap was imme- diately sent to the central office of the Connecticut company and a re- lief bus was sent out. The passen- gers were tranferred to the new bus and the one that lost its wheel was lowed to the car barns.
 A delay of quite a few minutes was experienced by the passengers and the schedule on the line was slightly upset. Traffic on the thoro- ughfare was not interrupted, how ever.
