April Fool's Day is long since past but apparently every day is that day for some youngsters, according to a story of a prominent business man of this city. While driving home from Meriden last evening, on the state road, he noticed what appeared to be an auto- mobile tire lying i the center of the road. It was rapped in brand new paper and looked as if it had been dropped from an automobile. It is not the policy of this paper to mention names, but Edward Willimetz was down that way last night. He alighted from his car and when he stooped to pick the supposed tire up, much to his amazement, it was suddenly snatched away from his grasping hands. From among the bushes on the roadside, the laughter of youngsters pealed forth. That told the story. The merchant ap- plied the accelerator with vigor all the way home. NEW CUP CHALLENGE.

ENGLAND JUBILANT OVER TRUCE NEWS Satisfaction Second Only to That of Great War’s Ending London, July 9 (By Associated Press)—Nck since the memorable day when the armistice was declared ending the great war has any event s6 stirred the United Kingdom asthe truce in Irish warfare, sealed today by the issuance of orders to make it effective. Simultaneously came the announce- ment the Eamonn De. Valera, the rc- publican leader, and Mr. Lloyd George, the British premier, would meet probably next week, to confer with a view to settling the centuries- old difficulty. The Ulsterite press to be sure, has received the new development coldly but throughout southern and western Ireland, and in all England there is rejoicing which unmistakably is heartfelt. Already the truce is beginning to operate in various of the larger cen- ters in Ireland, although officially it will not become effective until! Mon- day. For the first time in many weary months of bloodshed the sol- diers of the crown were today- frat- ernizing with Sinn Feiners in the streets of Dublin and one might walk about freely without an over-present fear of being shot by unseen forces. From isolated districts some reports came of continuing violence but noth- ing of an outstanding character. In- deed, work of the truce could hardly have been distributed to all points in Ireland so scon. 4 In both Ireland and England a feel- ing of the greatest optimism was ex- pressed, and predictions were freely made in responsible quarters that the Irish trouble would be brought to an end. The exact date of the meeting be- tween Premier Lloyd George and Mr. De Valera has not yet been settled but no time will be lost in arranging for the conversations. Safe conducts are being orepared for the republican leader and such of his associates as he desires tc bring to London.

DAiLY HERALD, SA1URDAY, DEMOCRATS ATTACK FORDNEY TARIFF Representative Garner of Texas Opens Drive on Measure ~ ‘Washington, July 9.—Democratic attack on tho Fordney tarift bill opened in the house today with Rep- resentative Garner, Texas, ranking democrat on the ways and means committee, asserting that “not a re- publican in the house can distinguish between this and the Payne-Aldrich bil."” Mr. Garner regretted the absence of Representative Kitchin of North Car- olina, democratic leader, who is ill, telling the bouse that Kitchin would have shown the nature of the pro- posed law “in words that would burn so deeply’” that the republicans would not repeat the ‘“‘offense.”” He added, however, that there was much am- munition liid away among the demo- crats and that the republicans would learn what their committee had done in framing the tariff bill before the hduse voted. Representative Longworth, repub- lican, Ohio, interrupted to ask if the Texas member had not voted for the first emergency tariff bill last winter. “I did,” Mr. Garner replied, “but I did it bbndly for I wanted to do something to help agriculture.” Developments had convinced him, Mr. Garner said, that the emergency tariff bill was not what it was repre- sented to be. It had failed, he said, to be of help to agriculture since it had teen operative. STEAMER ASHORE.

WARSHIPS AT TAMPICO LEAVE Situation Does Not Necessitate Main- tenance of Naval Guard There, Washington Says. Washington, July 9.—The situation in the Mexican port of Tampico s not at’this time such as necessitates the maintenance there of an Ameri- can naval guard to protect Ameri- caff interests. This was the explanation given in official circles today of orders re- turning the cruiser Cleveland and the gunboat Sacramento, now at that port to their home stations. Mexico City, July ‘8.—A statement issued tonight by the Mexican war department regarding the situation at Tampico was reassuring although it was stated troops were being rushed to that district as a precautionary measure. It was said that garrisozs at various points in the states of San Coahuila and Nuevo Leon had been ordered to hold them- selves in readiness to give any need- ed assistance to the 15,000 soldiers at present in the petroleum region of the state of Tamaulipas. The text of an official order to the army asking all soldiers to give ten per cent of their pay for the relief of the unemployed' was made public at the war office. It was understood however that President Obregon did not desire this order to be carried out believing there were sufficient funds in the national treasury to pro- vide all the aid necessary for work- men, many of whom were said to be suffering from hunger. Dispatches telling of drawal of American warships from Tampico were received late last night after the government offices had closed. Officials who were reached declared they would not be quoted on the situation. the with- WEATHER REPORT. o —— Partly Cloudy Tonight But Tomor- row Is to Be Fair, Is Prediction.

In view of the apparent anviety on the part of the school board to retain her services she was at a loss to know what had prompted their action of yesterday. Explains Her Action In explamation of her action in sign- ing her maiden name to the contract, Mrs. Joley stated this morning that she had no idea of defrauding the board, but had anticipated that such action would avoid technicalities which might hold up the contract. Several weeks ago the teacher re- ceived a message from the school board in the form of an agreement. Her signature to the agreement would be taken as an indication that she would be willing to re-enter the em- ploy of the city if she was hired. At that time, she explains, she had not been married so she signed by the name of Miss Maragret McLaughlin. Subsequently she and Charles Joley were wed in New Haven. No Intent of Fraud A short time ago she received her contract for signature. Since the paper was addressed to her by her maiden name and her tentative agreement with the school board, now on record in the office of Superintendent S. H. Holmes, was also in har maiden name, she felt that it was the name she should use. Accordingly, she signed the contract “Miss Margaret Me- Laughlin.” She explains that she could not see how “Mrs. Margaret Joley” could sign the contract par- tially made out in her name of “Miss Margaret McLaughlin,” and on that account made use of the latter name. There was no intent of fraud and therefore there could be no crime, it has been explained to her, she says, Hire Married Women In reply to a question of Committee- man A. S. Andrulewicz, Chairman Gaftney admitted yesterday that the hiring of married women as teachers was not contrary to the policy of the board, the only objection to the hiring of Mrs. Joley being the alleged fraud. Mrs. Joley is a teachsr of type- writing and is considered a thorough master of that subject. She has re- ceived numerous awards in speed and accuracy contests. The teacher is one of the few members of the High school staff who are local residents. PRAISE FOR FIREMEN.
