1 ME. March 24.—-Representn-
Wnofrom more than five hundred
'Innnlcipnlities participated yester-
/ at I the fifth anniversary of the
’ Mining of the Fascist movement in
new. After paying homage to the
Jinknown soldier the delegates
lied through nag-draped streets
Druid enthusiastic manifestations on
rt of the popu ace.
“0 l(garden of troops presented arms
I the Quirinsl palace and acclaimed
£11m Victor Emanuel. who viewed
e from the balcony. The pa-_
e. which lasted more than an
hour. was marked by continuous
emonstrations.
d Premier Mussolini delivered a
ltirring patriotic address. Mus-
seilnl reviewed ‘the history of the
Mill. movement and its achieve-
moms. ‘He pointed to its rapid
growth from little beginnings. in
3010. The Fascist did not exceed
10,000. yet made a. bold stand
against subdcversive ideas. In 19.0
they numbered 20.615; in 1921 the
number had reached 243.936.
It was in the summer of 1022 that
he became persuaded of the neces-
nlty for a revolution. and he assert-
ed that the idea. of a march on
Home and the triumph of the revo-
lution were due to his initiative.
He had no wish to intimate the more
or less classic revolutionists and
Crush the enemy though he believed
l9 could have succeeded by such it
method. Then. amid loud cheers, he
itcelared: .
- "If it should become necessary to-
morrow to defend our revolution we
will! do It willingly."
eAfter recounting the achieve-
ments of the government. such as
“option of the eight-hour law. ratis
thation of all conventions, many so-
cial and bureaucratic reforms and
tie granting of important credits
r public works. he turned to for-
:n affairs and evoked renewed
wieers by an allusion to the deliver-
co of l-‘iulne. declaring that the
gialifm policy in various directions
oved how baseless were the argu«
ments of those who affirmed that
finly is isolated and must choose
“other policy.
: Nobody could deny. continued the
Iremler. that Italy had pursued a
licy of peace. having recognized
ussia as an entity on the political
gap of lIurope, and not being op-
sed to the eventual admission of
ermany to the. League of Nations.
u “Naturally." he went on. "it is im-
gassible to pursue a successful for-
gn’ policy unless the country is
disciplined and also armed. It. is
useless to put. faith in humanitarian
and pacifist idenlists. “'0 must have
In army, a navy and an air force."
On the question of Liberty, Mus-
holinl said: "Liberty is not a right,
but a duty. \thn in any country
it is permissahle to make a cam-
paigno in behalf of liberty. this is
the best proof that liberty exists.”
and of the constitution he said: “L'n-
til now i have been within the con-
' htitutlon'.’ it is something to which
sovereign and people swear allegi-
nnce. it is not anything whidi
should be potted. locked up and put
in a glass case. People advance and
change and have new needs and new
passions. \"e have. been most rc-
npectful to the constitution in that
' hpirit of it which is immortal."
Persia Ousts Shah;
Infant Son to~Rule
London. March 2-i.-—The Persian
parliament has abandoned the idea
of a republic. but has deposed the
shah and has decided to install his
infant son on the throne. according
to n Tteheran dispatch to the "Daily
Mail."
The correspondent says that a mo-
mentou session of the national as-
sembly to decide on the future form
of government was held Saturday.
when. owing to the opposition of the
clergy and the public. the agitation
in favor of a new republic collapsed.
The new shah is two years old.
and a regent. will b appointed to
act during his minority.
Sultan Armed Mirm, shah of Per-
sia. born in 1898, succeeded his
father. who abdicated in 1909. un-
der n regent. Ills coronation took
place in 1014.
The shah has been living in Paris.
‘and much antagonism to him de-
veloped because of his long absence
from his own country.
Recently the crown prince moved
from the palace to a. residence out-
side of Teheran. and the ceremo“
conducted by the ah or the reg-
ent on the oceanic of the Persian
new year was omitted.
The discussion in parliament over
the question of the establishment of
a republic caused serious dlsaensionl
and fighting has occured betweon
the anti-republican groups and the
ndvocates of the republican emu.

American Charity.
The Pope in his alloucation de-
clared America. to have attained
"primacy" in charity. and. that he'
wished to remember this in an un-
usual way. Therefore he elevated
to the sacred purple two prelates
whose qualities and the importance
of whose seea warranted it.
"in the immense family which
God has confided to us.’ 'the Pope
said. "there are brothers more fav-
ored by divine providence who
through the father of all come to the
assistance of their less fortunate
brothers in their trials and disas-
ters. ’
"Our heart is touched and at the
same time exalted toward God.
thinking of and behold their magni-
ficent acts of filial piety and frater-
nal charity. We find pleasure in or-
pressing to them from this exalted
place in this distinguished assembly
a fervent declaration of our grati-
tude. that of a father who feels him-
self much indebted on behalf of his
suffering children.
Aid for Russia.
"We feel. however. that some-
hlng would be wanting in this ex-
pression of gratitude is special men-
tion were not made of the position
and part which the United States of
America took and maintained in
this concourse of charity.
"From the moment in which our
voice was first raised l behalf of t
poor starving children Russia. th
clergy and people of e United
States responded to our appeal with
a promptness and generosity which
at once placed them in tho first
ranks in this crusade of charity.
"This beneficience, shown every-
where and by all. continued for a
long time: we can say that it even
still continues, though gradually re-
ducfl in proportion as the days ad-
vanced in which,the need diminish-
ed.
"Later we intimated that fresh
miseries and necessitien had arisen
in various parts of the world. It
was only an intimation. and indeed
discretion counselled. but it was
sufficient to enkindle again every-
where »freeh ardor to bestow money
and mhterial according to the vary-
ing po-ibiuues. ' ,
"The slight intimation was suffi-
cient to move the hierarchy. clergy
and people not only to maintain
their primacy. but to push forward
and upward so they are seen to excel
the grand and wonderful leeds of
chgrity they h“ previously perform-

‘ Murder
(Continued from Page One)
Mr. and Mrs. Weeks were mgr-led
on April 25. 1904. by the Rev. .Vnn
Dorcn. On July 23. 1923. Mrs;
Weeks filed action for a divorce
charging cruelty through her Attor-
ney. William Griffin. of this city and
was granted a decree in the Superior
Court in Bridgeport on December
23, by Judge Kellogg. Weeks did
not content the case.
Since securing her divorce Mrs.
Weeks resided in South Main street.
while Weeks lived on his house boat.
On Saturday night Weeks came to
her home and pleaded with her to
return and live with him. She re-
fused. but invited him to attend.Sun-
day dinner at her home yesterday.
as a number of her relatives were
coming frohl New Jersey and they
would talk over the nhttcr of a re-
conciliation.
Afraid to Go Home.
Mrs. Weeks later in the evening
attended the Trading Post in Red
Men's Hail and Weeks was also pres-
ent. They did not go together. Mrs.
Week's while at the Red Men's hall
confided in her friends that she was
afraid to go home. as her husband
was acting s'uspiciously and had
threatened her on previous occasions.
It is thought that Weeks in de-
mented. Several persons who were
acquainted with him stated that he
had been acting in a peculiar man-
ner during the past few months. A
week ago yesterday he entered the
home of his brother Charles Weeks
in Second street. East Norwalk. and
taking a pistol out of his pocket
loaded it with, cartridges. When
Mrs. Charles Weeks tried to persuade
him' to turn the pistol over to her
husband he 91%;! in his pocket and
left. His broth said that lately he
had often come over to his house and
walked around it _a few times and
then left withoutaayiug a word to
anyone.
List September it is stated that he
applied at. the office of Sergeant of
State Police Frank Virelll in Bridge-
port for help and advice as he was
then distraught by haluclnations that
he was being pursued by enemies
that were running around with his
wife. Sergeant Virelli had him taken
to the Hillside Home in Bridgeport
where he was confined for 14 days
and received treatment for his men-
tal condition.
Buried Money.
While at the Bridgeport Institu-
tion he told Sergeant Virelll that he
was afraid his enemies were going to~
rob him and Quit he had buried 8420
in the sands ”near the shore in this
city. This was not: believed by the
State Police but Weeks took Sergeant
Virelli to the spot and dug up the
”money. He was then prevailed upon
to deposit it in a bank in Bridgeport.
It is believed that he has been
taunted by the imagination that his
former wife was going with some
other men and he thought that these
people were trying to do him bodily
harm. He became afraid of stran-
gers and kept to himself a great.
deal and seldom spoke to any of his
friends. -
About two weeks ago he entered
the office of Attorney Willem Grif-
fin and asked if it Was true that his
wife had been granted a divorce
when he was informed by Attorney.
Griffin that she had been. he asked
if he could get married again and he
Miuformed that he could. He

ber. Mr. Mellon said. '
The Seeretary'Netter to Mr. Ack-
erman raid: ‘ ,
"Your resolution provides in sub-
stance that a taxpayer paying per-
in full on March 15. he is entitledgto
sonal taxes in 1023 in quarterly in-
stallments my omit the September
15 installment and if he has paid
a refund of one quarter of the
amount paid. after his return is nu-
dlted by the treasury. With the prin-
ciple that is advisable to permit
the taxpayers to get the benefit of
the expected surplus in 1334 by a re-
duction of 25 per cent of the tax
payable in the calendar year 1924.
I am thoroughly in accord. There
may be considerable administrative
difficulty in the particular method
which is'contemplated by the resolu-
tion. 0 ‘
“It seems to me it would be sim-
pler. and certninly' preferable from
the standpoint of the treasury. if
the plan incorporated in he revenue
no of 19:4 in the form it was M
ed by the House were adopted in a.
June 15. the taxpuers could take on
if the resolution were nosed be-
separate rmlution. Under this plan
that day a credit of 25 per cent of
his June payment: in September he
could take 25 per cent of his Sep-
tember payment and in December
25 per cent of that payment. If he
had paid in full in Marchhe would
have refunded the 23 per cent
credit.
The finance ‘committee will re-
sume work today with a. show-
down probable on whether the sol-
dier bonus bill will be put ahead of
the tax measure a‘s asked by‘the
American Legion. Chairman Smoot
has predicted little time would be
neceeary for dis on of the bo~
nus bill. with lines fairly well drawn.
Republicans supporting .ln 'Gencrnl
an insurance measure along lines of
that adopted by- the House. and
Democrats favoring a full cash pay-
ment option.-
At least three weeks work will be
necessary on the tax bill in com-
mittee. Chairman Smoot has esti-
mated. and in View of this he has
threatened night eeuione. 1f the
measure, is kept before the commit-
tee. the income tax. rate schedule.
the heart of the bill. will be reached
sometime this week.
