Erskine And

 Superior Court
Admit Entering Willow Street Store Shortly After Mid- night-Deny Other Bmglaries With Which Police Seek to Connect Them - Both Have Records

neither one of the accused was in a mood for admitting anything. They denied that they were re- sponsible for the burglary at Jones Drug store. 49 Willow street, ad- joining the scene of today's ate tempted break.
 Both Erskine and Stewart have been arrested on previous oc- casions and charged with burglary. Both have served time. They claimed. however, that the attempt which resulted in their capture was their first joint "hook-up."
 About 12:30 o'clock this morn- ing a woman resident of the vicin- ity of Willow and Grove streets observed the two men prowlinG about the store and telephoned to the police. Sergeant George Good ing rounded up and sent Patrol men Charles Nolan, Joseph Sulli- van, Dennis Lynch and Michael Karpelman to investigate. The store located on the corner of Will low and Grove streets was sur. rounded. Officer Karpelman en. tered through the read door which was found open. He caught the two men stuffing cartons of cigarettes into a bag. Erskine made a dash for the cellar, but changed his mind and surrendered peace fully with his companion when he observed that the officer had both covered with a gun.

HIGH INTEREST
 ON BACK TAXES
Good Subject for Debate Before Citizens Inter-
 ested in City Affairs
TWO-SIDED QUESTION

The aims of the Non Partisan
 Citizens Union, as explained in
 this paper yesterday has occasioned
 much comment. A man who be- lieves that there is room for such
 an organization in Waterbury said
 today that he believes the mem- it would benefit society in case interest charged on back taxes
 and assessments. The gentleman
 states that while the high rate may
 work q hardship to some, things , would be worse than they are in
 case the burden was made lighter, because there are many who me- glect to pay on time and the only
 thing that prompts them to re- | member the collector at all is the penalty, which if let run would I soon rob them of their homes.
 There are two sides to this ques- tion and no doubt those who have
 made reduction part of their 1 program have not done so without giving it due consideration. In | any event it is a good subject for discussion and no doubt members of the organization would be pleased to hear from anybody | who differs from them on this or | any other point they have brought
 to the attention of the public. The good and bad points of the high interest on back taxes would make
 a good subject for debate at a
 meeting of the Nom Partisan Citi-
 Zens Union, or any other body of | citizens interested in municipal af-
 fairs.

 Income jov LnSuyunce Than Evey
 While the income of the American people has been greatly reduced during the last three years, the amount paid for life insurance has been well maintained and today the public is putting far larger proportion into life insurance than ever. People have found in insurance an economic device that has been of extraordinary service and one which they willuse to an even greater extent in the future.

x/OSE07S W xHfee zzJ1NS xe07S Under life insurance and annuity contracts, insurance companies collectively have poured more than four billion dollars of cash into the hands of living policyholders; and put another two billion into the hands of widows, orphans and other benefciaries.
 Thus, during period of stress, did sec ondary purpose of life insurance, that of pro- viding emergency funds in cash for policy holders, come into unusual prominence At the same time the primary purpose, that of providing incomes and substantial sums to families after the death of the income pro- ducer, continued to be accomplished.
 Another three billion dollars has been paid to polcyholders in the last three years by fire and casualty insurance companies.
 Insurance companies were able to meet promptly all their obligations during period when credit conditions generally were strin- gent. Loans to holders of life insurance pol icies were made promptly upon the sole secu- rity of their contracts.
 This noteworthy performance is evidence of the ability of insurance to adjust itself to changing conditions; an ability that justi- fled the faith of even the staunchest friends of insurance.

Gas Used 1884 Years Ago.
1t is on record that gas, in one
form or another, was used In warfare
at various times even as far back as
1884 years ago. 1t remained for the
Germans, however, to make the first
organized use of gas warfare in mod
ern times. This was on April %,
1918, when they released a chlorine gas
attack, from cylinders, against the
British, producing approximately 1000
casualties. At that time the troops
were unprotected against gas attacks.
The ingenious plan of attack pro-
posed to Lincoln might or might not
have achieved its objective. No one
knows. 1t is not known even whether
the plan was considered.
From the description, this gas re-
sembleS somewhat our presentday

and is tear producing. irritant gas.
During the siege Of Charleston, S. C.,

under the parapsts about the city,
in the hope that favorable winds would
carry the fumes and drive out the de-
tenders. On another occasion. a large
number of shells containing Greek fire
were dropped into the city under cover
Of the darkness.
Had the recommendation OF Forrest
Shepherd been adopted in 1864 this
no doubt would have been the begin
ming Of mass attack in modern gas

AS told to International News

ST. PAUL, MINI, Nov. ~ Il.
N.S).-The Government today
asked a jury to send Roger Touhy
and three others to prison for life
as the kidnapers of william
Hamm, jr., millionaire st. Paul
brewer.
The case of the four Chicago
hoodlums was to go to the jury
tonight or early tomorrow.
Touhy's three co-defendants are
Willie Sharkey, Edward ("Father
TomD McFadden and Gus
CGloomy GuS") Schaefer. Hamm
was kidnapped last June Is, and
released four days later.
Prosecutor George F. Sullivan
occupied the entire morning of the
final day of the trial recounting
the story of the abduction, cap
tivity and $4,000 ransom paid by
Hamm.
He recalled the Governments
evidence that Hamm had been
taken into Wisconsin, thereby
establishing an interstate case.
