l0lIIIINI} HOUSE flGIlI
DANBURY, C0n11., April 27. ~Joseph
B. Hill, of Bedding. who killed George
W. Higgins in aroom in a lodging
house in White street, early this morn-
ing, by cutting his throat with a Jack-
knife, was arraigned before Judge
Robert SrAlexallder in the City ,Court,
this morning, on a charge of murder
ill the first degree. Mr. Hill, who is
~76 years of age, admitted that be
I killed Higgins, saying that he used iheI
; knife in self-defense after Higgins eu-
Itercd his room and attempted to rob
:llllll. He said he was awakened by
the presence of someone upon the bed
beside him and found a mall searching
for his money. He grappledswkth the
intruder, who threatened "him with
death.
Mr. Hill was ptirtly dressed, and in
his story to the coroner today he told
graphically how he drew his knife
from his pocket and opening it by the
aid of his teeth, plunged the blade into
his assailant'a throat. Coroner Il’he-
ion, of Bridgeport, is conducting the
inquest. ‘
The identity of the slain man was
definitely established this morning as
George W. Higgins, i‘ormerly' of
Bridgeport. Higgins, who is about ~10
chars old, was originally from Ware,
Mass. He conducted ‘a saloon in
Bridgeport at one time, but for sev-
eral months had been a peddler of
I fruits and vegetables in this city. Mr.
'Hlll, who is 11 Bedding farmer, has
lived in that town practically all his
life and is well-connected. He came
to Danbury yesterday to arrange some
business affairs in connection with a.
pension matter. He was remanded to
the Danbury iall without ball at to-
day's court session.

HARTFORD, April iii—An amend-
ment to the General Taxation bill
which is before the Sellute\1wus offer-
ed by Senator Wadhanls today,~ deal-
ing with the feature of the bill call-
ed the corporate excess tax. The bill
with this nowamendment will be the
order of tth‘day for Thursday. ‘lu
brief, the amendment eliminates the
inquisitorial feature of the section in
the original bill; the complicated plan
to arrive at a knowledge of corporate
excess; calls for collection of practi-
cally the same'umount or taxes, but
does away with the double taxation
feature. The manufacturers and the
insurance compaliies are particularly
interested in the matter of a corpor-
ate excess tax.
The amendment takel the place of
Parts 4 and 5 in the original bill, and
is entitled "Miscellaneous Corpora-
tions." The amendment follows:
“Section 19,—Evel'y, corporation

the term Corporation; except insur-

FIRE BURNED OVER 3,000 ACRES.
NEW HARTFORD. Conn., April 27.
-It was estimated today that theion
est fire which swept through Satan’s
Kingdom Sunday, between 2,000 and
3,000 acres were burned over. The
old asbestos mill was destroyed. and
several houses threatened at Nepaug.
The fire is still burning on Yellow
mountain.
In the Wood Creek district of. the
town of Norfolk, about a thousand
acres were burned over yesterday. The
Hillhurst, a large summer hotel, was
threatened. but a shifting of the wind
loved it. A considerable part of the
property burned over belonged to ‘Dr.

Every game of high school baseball
usually offers at least one comedy
sketch. The headliner for the after
noon was 11 scream. A challenge
from a socalled high school indepen-
dent tean1.I We mention this in the
hope that our friends may possibly
leceive notice at the hands of some
of the big league teams and so get
a game or two on their at present
very empty schedule. Why should
they, stop at “organizing" an indepen-
dent team? Why don't they organize
an athletic association all their own
and tan things for themselves? They
might be admitted to membership in
the Annulas ‘Club if they apply quit-k-
ly and if their application is accom-
panied by the price of admission, in
this case ten cents. Seriously, it is
to be hoped that the fellows who
wish to play baseball of high school
calibre will pull hard for our team
and not against it. That is the high
school splritwe want and the kind
that developes character.
