 A girl who is just beginning to appreciate the charm of her school girl complexion should have CO.'S metics that suit her young skin. If she doesn't get the right ones, she'll go ahead and use whatever she can find, possibly doing her skin no end of harm. If you aren't sure about her mothers at- titude toward makeup, send bath preparations, including soap, pow der, crystals and toilet water in matching odors. Or give her one of the new gold shovels to transfer powder from box to compact.

City Owes County
 Over $2O, ,OOO Taxes
Sum to Be Paid in Accordance With Local Financial
 Methods of Handling Disbursements

Taxes owed to the county of New Haven by the City of Water bury amount to slightly over $20,- 900. This sum will be paid by the city in the due course of events and in accordance with the local financial methods of handling dis bursements, 1t was stated today. The taxes owed are for the 1888 fiscal year, just ended. Under a new statute the county's fiscal year will henceforth end on October 1st instead of in July.
 Senator Joseph H. Lawlor and Representatives Daniel J. Ma nancy and John D. Thoms of this city yesterday attended a meeting of the county legislators in New Haven. An appropriation of $610,- 430.46 was set up for the opera ton of the county government during the fiscal year beginning October list. The local legislators voted against portions of the bud get, especially the $10,000 debt reducing item. The county now owes $40,000 for land purchased adjacent to the New Haven court house a couple of years ago. Representative Thoms of this city took the stand that the interest rate is so low that the county should carry the debt over and. thereby, eliminate that portion or the increase in the county budget. The democrats were overridden py the g. o. D. majority, however. headed by Senator John Lyncn or West Haven.
 Outstanding in the approprla- tions are the restoration or the 10 per cent. pay cut ordered .wo wears ago: s1O,000 for the debt reduction: si4,50O for repairs to the local county building; $6,o00

 The boilers at the jail are 3S years old and are dangerous, the legislators were told. The infirm- ary at the county home is neces- sary, it was stated, because there has not been any room for sick children there. The appropriation also provides for a nurse at the home.
 It is estimated that the total in- come of the county for he coming fiscal year will be $232,262.24. The county tax estimate set up is $37S- 16S.22.

GARDEN

'Now I'll Tell by Mrs Arnold Rothstein," which opened at the Garden theater today will satisfy all types of movie goers-sensation seekers as well as lovers of real life drama.
 Spencer Tracy has been waiting for role like this to display the full gamut of his dramatic tech nique. It is fine, sympathic char acterization. Helen Twelvetrees plays the important part of the wife with a genuine appreciation of its depth. Alice Faye comes through her first dramatic role very well as the "other woman" Since she is night club singer, she has an opportunity to put over the song "Foolin' With the Other Woman's Man" with an emotional warmth that her fans expect after her interpretation of Nasty Man" in George Whites "Scan- dals."

 The meeting has been called to take action on the selection of new clubrooms. The vote of the board on this matter will be conveyed to the council at a special meeting called for tomorrow evening at the same hour.
 The Waterbury Trust company recently informed the officers of Sheridan council that they would have to vacate their quarters early in September unless they cared to sign a five-year lease for the prem ises. As negotiations for a new club house were started this summer by Sheridan council it is not likely that the lease will be accepted.
 When talked with to-day Grand Knight John F. Robinson stated that as a member of the board of

 Whatever action Sheridan coun. ciI will take at its meeting Thurs day night is still subject to the &C., ton of the building corporation in which the council is the majority stockholder and whose stock is therefore voted by the Grand Knight.

he said, increased yearly from 1926
until 1888 when a 10 per cent re-

1884, he said, has shown a remark
able decrease in deaths in highway
accidents. To further reduce the
number of accidents, the highway
department has built over 30 miles
Of sidewalks adjacent to cities and

ELUDES POSSE
ARRESTS NEGRO
Sheriff Takes Harry Flem-
ming Who Killed Of
ficer, to Baltimore Jail
FEARED LYNCHING CASE

Harry Flemming, negro, who had
been sought by hundreds of Somer-
set county and Crisfield, Md, cit
izens, after fatally wounding Har-
ry Daugherty, Chrisfield police Of
ficer, is now in a Baltimore jail.
Three State Highway patrolmen
accompanied the negro, who is
charged with killing Harry
Daugherty, the patrolman, in re-
sisting arrest. The trip to Balti-
more apparently was uneventful.
The negro, for whom angry cit
izens had searched all Sunday
night was captured Monday. The
arrest was made single-handed by
Sheriff Luther Daugherty, a dis
tant relative of Harry Daugherty
The sheriff arrested F'lemming at
the home of another negro, Joe
Spence, at Fairmount, 18 miles
north of Crisfield, Md, at 7 a. m
He is said to have confessed. Upon
orders from Crisfield the prisoner
was taken to Laurel and from
there started under guard for the
Maryland State penitentiary at
Baltimore. AS soon as his capture
was known angry citizens of that
and neighboring communities gath
cred to await the return of the
Sheriff and his prisoner. Shouts
of lynching arose as the mob surg
ed about the Jail. Most of those
present were members of numer-
Gus small posses which had search
ed the countryside since the shoot
ing was discovered Sunday. F'lem-
ing, who is 80, is charged with
wounding Harry Daugherty, when
Daugherty went to Fleming's home
to arrest him. Daugherty, who
was in the Crisfeld Hospital
died Tuesday from a bullet
wound in his head and stab
wounds on the arms and back
Mindful of a lynching at Princess
Anne, 16 miles from Crisfield, last
October, and another in Salisbury
two years ago, State police were
taking every precaution to prevent
Fleming being taken from them
Only a handful of the nearly 1,00C
men and boys who were seeking
Fleming with rifles, shotguns and
pistols, and two State policemen
were nearby at the capture. 1t was
said Fleming surrendered without
resistance.

SOLONS STILL
IN DEADLOCK
Neither House Nor Senate
Will COncede a Point; Re-
lief Legislation Hopeless
MEET THIS AFTERNOON

Practically all hope of any legis-
lation to provide for a relief pro
gram being passed by the General
Assembly now in special session
for this purpose was abandoned
late Tuesday afternoon when the
four Democrats from the House
and the Four Republicans from the
Senate who had been appointed
Monday as members of a special
Joint conference committee to try
to come to some agreement on a
relief measure broke up their all
day meeting in disagreement. The
Senate and House convened again
yesterday afternoon, but what the
ultimate purpose Of the continu-
ance of the session is for or what
anyone now thinks it is possible to
accomplish, members of both
branches have admitted they did
not know The chief bone of con-
tention among the conferees was
the question of how many members
of the proposed relief commission
shall constitute a quorum The
compromise bill, better known as
the Kelly act, on which the COM
mittee was trying to reach a com
promise, specifies that of the eight
member commission which Il
would create six members shall
constitute a quorum or working
majority and that six shall be able
to make decisions on all questions
coming before the commission as
whole. The Republican Senators
Monday, insisted that five mem
bers of the commission be made
the majority vote, while the Dem
ocrats stood fast on their decision
that the majority should include
six of the members. Neither side
UP to yesterday would make any
concessions.
