ONE PINK SLIP
 REALIZED LOCALLY
Protest Rider DisapprOves Repeal of Publicity PrO=
 vision of Tax Returns

The famous little "pink slip" is- sued in connection with the income tax returns for the calendar year 1884, which at present is one of the paramount topics of discussion throughout the country is causing no particular resentment among tax payers of Waterbury, Charles w. Bylne, deputy collector for this district, said today. ...
 There has not been a single fail ure of file the slip here and of all the returns filed to date only one carried the protest rider distribut- ed throughout the country for per- sons who wish to express their ap- proval, MT Byrne said. The pro- test slips were distributed under the auspices of a society organiz- ed specifically to promote repeal of the publicity provision.
 One of the chief objections to the proposed publicity, according to proponents of the repeal measure now pending in the United States senate, is that 1t VIII make avail able to salesmen and solicitors of all kinds list of eligible prospects. It has also been pointed out that kidnapers and racketeers would be given the opportunity to inspect the list for possible victims.
 In case of failure to file the statement required by the slip with the regular return, the collector is required to file the blank personal. ly and impose $5 fine added to the tax.
 The Waterbury office will be open until 9 p. m. tonight and tomor- row night. Friday is the final day of grace for filing returns.

Walkathon Becomes
 Series Of Charges
Police Call to Adjust Difference Between Former COn-
 testants and Promoters Representative

The walkathon endurance circus at Eagles hall ended last Wednes- day under police order, it's ending was celebrated at gala victory ball at Buckingham hall, but, as a popular song of few years ago went, the melody fingered on. So the police department found out yesterday afternoon, though the complicated mathematics, claims and counter-claims which made up yesterdays echo still have police- men bit befuddled.
 Patrolman John Johnson tells it this way: He was on North Main street when two young men came out of No. 2S3 and came to him. They had been refused admittance, they said, to the apartment of Lew Watson, the walkathon promoter. They described themselves as Billy Smith and Tony Talieri, members of the second and third prize win ming couples in the endurance cir GUS. They had gone to collect money which was due them. they said, but had not been let inside the apartment.
 Police!
 Just then the head of one Wat kins, also connected with the mar athon, poked itself from the win dow and called the patrolmen and the indignant marathoners inside. Simultaneously there pulled up at the curb police motor patrol con- taining Motor Patrolmen John

Levi Wilcox Chosen
 Local Drive Leader
 By State Committee
ton Meeti:g Monday Civic, Welfare, and Religious Groups Here to Lend Cooperation

Final plans Yer waterbury's part in the 1895 sale Of seals to aid crippled children of the state will be made at supper meeting to be held at the Newington Home for Crippled Children, Monday night. according to an announcement from the state committee received here today.

 In g states throughout the country seals will go on sale dur ing the week of April IA to q, and proceeds will be devoted to the care and treatment of crippled children. The campaign in Con- necticut will extend into every community in the state and will be conducted under the auspices of the Connecticut Society for Grip pied Children.
 Miss Constance Leigh, superin- tendent of the Newington Home for Crippled Children, has for the past month been directing organ- ization meetings throughout the state and it is considered probable that she will be invited to preside at a session in this city prior to the opening of the campaign.
 Officials of the state. society assert that there are at present be- tweenc4,000 and 5000 crippled chill dren in Connecticut, only one-fifth of whom are known to the Newing- ton home.
 Present plans call for the divis- ion of the state into IS sections for the sale of seals. The appro- val of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross has been given and the Hartford National Bank and Trust Company will act as treasurer for the cam ipaign and provide office space. Seals will be sold in sheets of 100, and 6t Is hoped that 5,000.000 may be sold.

SET OF TIMERS
 NEEDED BY POLICE
Nothing Seriously Defec- tive With Traffic Lights
 Says Superintendent

Waterbury's signal lights are by no means obsolete, declared Police Supt Joseph H. Mclean this morn ing when questioned on the report that it would be necessary to pur- chase many new standards and controls to place all the lights in good working order.
 All that is needed, said the superintendent. Is a set of timers" for several of the signal lights. With these installed, he claims, the lights will all be in good working order. Timers are regularly taken out and new ones installed, according to the superintendent, and at present only a few lights about the city need the new timing apparatus.
 Timers are now being shipped here for two signal lights, the one in Exchange Place and the one at Hillside avenue and Pine street. Timing instruments for other sig nal lights will be ordered as they are needed during the year.
 The lights in the center and at Hillside avenue-Pine street are the only ones which at present need new timing controls, but additional ones will be ordered so that they will be available in case any signal lights in the city begin operating irregularly, the superintendent stated.
 The traffic lights themselves, contended Supt Mclean, are by no means obsolete and are good yet for long periods of service. With new timing controls, each light is almost as good as new, while the only changes usually needed in the light standards themselves are the occasional installation of new bulbs.
