CRAIG QUITS CONFERENCE 'BUT THIS DOES NOT MEAN ~ END.NG OF Secretary of Ulsterites’ Delegation Makes An- nouncement — Mem- bers Are Likely to Be Recalled to London Soon. Situation However, is Dead- locked At Present As Far As Tri-Partite Discussion is Concerned. Unconfirmed Reports Show Cabinet Crisis Belfast, July 19.—(By the Associat- ed Press)—The return to Belfast of Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier and the members of his cabinet why have been with him in London in con- nection with the Irish peace move must not be taken as a rupture of the negotiations, it was deelared today by Col. Spender, secretary of the delega- tion, on its arrival here. It is thought, indeed, that the delegation will be re- called to London next week. None of the cabinet members would have anything to say for publication. Call De Valera Visionary Eamonn De Valera is regarded by the Ulster unionists as a visionary and the feeling in unionist circles is that nodécisions among all the parties con- cerned n the Irish settlement will be possible until he considerably modifies his position. When Sir James Craig saw the re- publican leader in Dublin before the recent Irish parliamentary elections the Ulster premier is declared in unionist quarters to have heard a long disquisition on an Irish republic and unionists have expressed belief today that Mr. De Valera had expressed him- self similarly in. his interviews with Premier Lloyd George. The attitude of the Ulster premier and his es' a3 expresed Dby Craig im His. statement made in Lon- don last night in which he declared Ulster was determined t6 maintain her piesent’ status, with her own parlia- wuicht is cordially approved by the Bel- fast unionists in general a sin indicat- ed by their newspaper orzans. Newspaper Views “There was.never gny Qther out- com. of the negotiations possible” cays 'he Beliast News Letter “except i minds of those who would sacri- fl ¢ on ‘he altar of a false peace. We ehall have nothing to ~ do with any settlement terms that infringe upon or diminizh the status of our parlia- ment and we base that attitude on the same ground- as-Mr. De Valera makes his claim to self determination.” On the other hand the Irish News which voices the views of Joseph Dev- lin, nationalist,. says: “If the six specially chosen Ulster counties are.to self-determine them- selves into ruinous conflict with the rest of Ireland why deny the claim of any county to‘self-determine itself out of dssociation with secessionists? The claim insisted on by Sir James Craig is on all fours with that put for- ward by the southern states .of the American republic 60 years ago. That is a true and exact ~parallel. The formuja that Ireland is like unto the secessionist states has been abandon- ed.” = Deadlock is Reached London, July 19.—Irish negotiaticns appear to-have reached a deadlock in- sofar as they concern a tri-partite con- ference between David Lloyd George the British premier, Eamonn De Va- lera, Irish Republican leader, and Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster. This developed late last night when Sir (Continued on Third Page.)

Plans are progressing, slowly but surely, for the Swarthmore Chautau- qua to be held in New Britain for the first time, August 17 to 24. Final ar- rangements will be completed either on Friday of this week or Monday ot next week, when Miss Leonora Wills, of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, who is field manager for this section, will ad- dress the 55 guarantors. i Miss Wills wrote asking the guaran- tors to meet her at 8 o'clock Friday evening but because many of them will be out of town that evening and Fri- day being a bad day for many busi- nessmen a telegram was sent her ask- ing if the meeting could be postponed until Monday evening. If she cannot come Monday evening, then the meet- ing will take the form of a luncheon and will be held at the New Britain Club at noon, Friday. Otherwise it will be held at the Chamber of Com- merce rooms at 8 o’clock Friday eve- ning. Miss Wells will outline a campaign of publicity and ticket selling, and in fact organize the work into a systema- tic campaign to make the affair a suc- cess, No site has been decided upon up to date but the committee has a suit- able place in view and efforts will be made to hava it at a location which will be satsfactory to the entire city. Many local people are expressing a desire to see the Chautauqua and all indications point towards-an unparal- leled success.

WAGNER TAKES OFF BUS West End of the City is Entircly Without * Jitney Transportation Service This Afternoon. Acting upon. the advice of his sounsel,” “Tawyer David L. Nair, Theodore E. Wagner, operator of a fitney bus line from Central park to Corbin avenue by way of West Main street, discontinued his services this afternoon. Edward French having removed his busses earlier in the day, the west end of the city is en- tirely without jitney service this evening. Lawyer Nair explains that, despite the fact that his client has ab- pealed from the decision of the Utilities commission, a continuance of the “run” may result in multiple charges of violation of the law. Until the matter is decided either in the courts or at another hearing by the Public Utilities commission, he will not advise a return of the jit- ney service. 70-NAME THIRD MAN Board of Appraisers School Will Be Completed Tomor- for Normal row at Bridgeport.

Elisha Adams, Persian-Assyrian pastor at the South church, left today for Chicago, where he has been called owing to the accidental death, by Nearly One-Half of Year’s Seeks Right to Operate Route, But Will Pro- ceed strictly Along Legal Lines. Wagner However, Runs Car This Morning—Mayor is Circulating Petition — Prosecutor Silent. Upon the advice of Attorney Josiah Peck of Hartford, Edward French’s jitney busses operating over the West Main street routes were taken off this morning, and, according to announce- ment of the lawyer, will not be run again until such time as Mr. French can be assured of his right to operate busses in this city. Attorney Issues Statement. Commenting upon the situation, Lawyer Peck stated: “Mr. French has removed his busses at my suggestion and will not reopen his lines until his right to operata has been established. We are pro- ceeding along strictly legal lines in our effort to regain the right to run and desire to do nothing that will “ring us in conflict with the authori- ties.”” When asked if the French busses would remain off the streets until a second hearing was given by the pub- lic utilities commission, Mr. Peck ‘de- clined to make a statemerit. He re- iterated, however, that the jitneys will not operate until French’s rights have been established. Onc Bus Running. But one bus ran over the West Main street to Corbin avenue routes today, that being the car owned and driven by Theodore Wagner. Wagner is continuing business under his ap- peal, he having been one of the jit- neurs refused a license to run. Throughout the day he did a record: business, carrying practically all of those who formerly made use of the French lines in addition to his reg- ular patrons. In many instances resi- derts of the west end of the city walked down to business this morning in preference to paying a ten cent fare and riding on the trolleys. The trolleys were reported to be doing no more than their normal business in spite of tho temporary suspension of a greater part of the jitney service. Circulate Petition The drivers employed by French are busily circulating ' the mayor’'s petition today. They. report no difficulty in filling the sheets, each of which contains 64 names. One of the drivers remained in the Wagner bus and presented the document to all patrons on the lines. Almost | with unanimity they affixed their sig- natures to the. petition, repudiating the trolley service. i The several other lines, some of which are running under appeals from the P. U. C. ruling and others operating in open deflance of the order issued by the commission, con- tinued to cover the regular routes today. . The new “J” license plates have not reached the city as yet. The auto- mobile commissioners at Hartford are making every effort to‘get the registry markers out to the jitneurs whose petitions for routes have been "acted favorably upon. Greenberg Silent Although tomorrow is the day upon which it was originally planned to begin prosecutions locally, Prosecu- ting Attorney A. A. Greenberg is maintaining a strict silence as to his contemplated action. In view of the fact that the new markers have not been sent out to this city today, it is not improbable that a further ex- tension of time will be granted. Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel of the State Department of Motor Vehicles has suggested that a few days of grace be allowed after the plates are distributed so that jitneurs may have an opportunity to attach them to their cars. Mayor to Name Committee The mayor’'s Jitney committee will not bé,appointed until Thursday, he announced today. In the mean- time he is directing the circulation of the jitney petition in person. The new committee will assume the task of compiling data upon the trans- portation problem immediately upon its appointment. As yet the city has received no acknowledgment from the P. U. C. as to its receipt of the city's request for a hearing on the transportation matter, the mayor states.

Judge Keeler said he probably wolld file his decision with the clerk of the New Haven superior court within a day or two. The jitneymen scored a partial vic- tory when, at the beginning of the hearing, Judge Keeler denied the ap- plication of counsel for the Connec- ticut Co., for an order restraining the New Haven and Derby Bus Corp. from operating. The judge advised the attorneys for the trolley company to take their application before Judge Hinman, as he, himself was sitting in chambers this week only because he started the case now at issue and could hear nothing furthe at this MARRIAGE ANNULLED Wife of Bouck White Is Granted De- &ree She Sought—Rules Woman Is Entitled to Relief Sought.

Considerable mystery is attached to the strange disappearance of Bert Loomis, of Southwick, Mass., a wealthy tobacco grower, and a brother of Fred W. Loomis of this city, a well known plumber. It is feared that Mr. Loomis has been drowned in the sound. Loomis in company with Napolean Bascom of Southwick, arrived last Thursday at the Pease House at Saybrook. Here the men parted, Mr. Loomis going on to New York while Mr. Bascom crossed to what is known as Poverty Island. Mr. Loomis arrived back at Say- brook on Saturday, and negotiated with Captain Getchell to take him to Poverty Island to join Mr. Bascom. During the trip, there was a dis- agreement between the men, when Mr. Loomis argued over the course the captain took on account of the shallow water. a few days, he refused to make the trip back to Saybrook with Captain Getchell.

Deliberate Falsehood, Roosevelt’s Only Reply Washington, July 19.—Former Sec- retary Daniels and former Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the navy are denounced for the methods used in investigating the war time scandal among enlisted men at the Newport Training station, in the majority re- port of a senate sub-committee made public Today. The charges made by clergymen of Newport, R. L, and the Providence Journal, the report says, “have been proved to the satisfactio= of the com- mittee” and both the clergy and the journal says the report, “deserve the thanks of the people at large. Partisanship Is Claimed. At the szme time today Mr. Roose- velt issued a statement declaring that Senators Ball of Delaware and Keyes of New Hampshire, the two republi- cans who constitute the majority of the investigating committee, had is- sued their fihdings without giving him a hearing after promising to do so, which Mr. Roosevelt in his statement contended “shows a premeditated and unfair purpose of seeking what they mistakingly believe to be a partisan Political adyantage.” Senator King of Utah, the demo- cratic member of the investigating committee will file & minority report later. Details-Are Unprintable. Most of the details of the Newport scandal. as it is disclosed in the inves- tigation, is of an unprintable nature. The crux of the majority report charges is that with the knowledse of Mr. Daniels and Mr. Roosevelt en- listed men of the Navy were improp- erly used as participants in immoral practices for the purpose of securing evidencc on which to dismiss offend- ers from the Navy. Mr. ‘Roosevelt under “whose- office the invest:gation was conducted ‘is held Ly the majority to be “morally responsible” for the - orders. The findings of a- naval court rhartial which invustigated the scandal are in- troduced in ‘the record for the first time. It hcld the action of Mr. Roos: velt “uafcrtunate and ill . advised Secretary Daniels disapproved the portion of the findings which con- demned the method of investigation and on that point the committee re- port says: Criticism Is Scvere. “The committee agrees that Frank- lin D. Rocsevelt's. action was not only “unforturate and 1ll-advised” but most reprehensible and Mr. Daniels’ disapproval! of this opinion of the court is to be severely condemned.”” Mr. Roosevelt in his statement, said that at no time was the work of ine vestigating supervised by him per< sonally and that when in September, 1919, he and the acting chief of the bureau of navigation were informed that members of the investigating squad “had used highly improper and revolting methods in - getting evi- dence.” immeditte orders were sent out “that day to stop it.” “The insinuations that I must have known that I supervised the opera. tions, that I was morally responsible, said Mr. Roosevelt's statement, “are nowhere supported by the evidence directly or indirectly Refute Roosevelt’s Claim. On that point, however, the ma- jority findings of the investigating <. mmittee hold that Mr. Roosevelt was present at conferences which de- ‘ermined the methods of the inves- tigating and that “it is beyond the ~omprehension of the committee how the methods to be used could have been entirely eliminated and forgot- ten at the conferences.” If Mr. Roosevelt did not inform himself of *he methods used, the majority report he “was most derelict in his is probably true” says the majority report. “as contended by oth Secretary Daniels and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt that they were not ‘officially’ informed regarding acts of operators or detectives until later, adding that “all through the records before this committee strenuous and strained efforts were made by naval officers to differentiate hetween official knowledge and knowledge as the or- dinary layman has it.” Licut.
