'BERTILSON
 LAYS DOWN LAW TO MOONEY
Alderman From Third De. mands Full Fire Service
 in First District
Fire Chief Retorts that It Is Always Given-Adds that He Doesn "Owe Any Thing to Politicians Like Bertilson," When Latter Says He I'll Try Coercion.

Alderman Berger Bertilson who lives over the Second district line, in the First district, where they will only pay 6.7 mills tax this year, while those who live in the Second district will pay 15.S mills, took Chief Mooney to task in the office of the city clerk this morning because the fire department did not do better work in the Black Rock district.
 The chief told the Alderman that they did the best they could, but that Bertilson must remember that the people out where he lived only paid taxes in the First district and were not entitled to fire protection if any one residing in the Second district pro- tested.
 well, I pay my taxes" declared the Alderman, who stuck to it that he was entitled to fire protection.
 The bone of contention in the mind of the Alderman was that the chemi- cal engine should have responded to tilson telephoned for it. She inform ed fire headquarters that there was a fire in the debris of the Macdonald barn, which burned down two days be- fore, and she wanted the chemical en- zine. Rather than take the chemical engine off duty to outside of the city limits for a bonfire the chief went to Black Rock in his own car, which is equipped with hand chemicals. He was of the opinion that there was no danger to any of the buildings in the vicinity and he returned to this city.
 The chief told Bertilson that the fire department had always answered alarms in the First district when there were fires and would probably con- tinue doing so, but it was not sup posed to pass, Ellsworth street going west.
 Well, I'll see that you do go,'' re- torted Bertilson.
 'I don't care what you do," retorted the chief, 'I am under no compliment to you as an Alderman, nor do give a snap of my finger for any politician like you"
 ''Tm not talking as an Alderman, but as a cftizen,'' said Bertilson.
 ''Well, move in out of the woods and you will be entitled to fire protection" ]" replied the chief.

AUTO CLUB READING RIOT
 ACT TO FULLER
Claimed that President of State Association Put
 Autoists in Bad
Three Clubs Already on Record Against Scheme to Create Motor Commis- sioner With Horde of Deputies and Inspectors.

The legislative committee of the State Association of Automobile clubs of Connecticut is in session in Hart ford this afternoon for the purpose of reading the riot act to w. F. Fuller. of Hartford. president of the associa- tion. The situation may resolve itself. it is said, into a retraction by Presi- dent Fuller or the Reorganization of the state association.
 - Frank T. Staples, president of the Bridgeport Automobile club, and a member of the legislative committee is attending the meeting.
 The dissatisfaction of the automo- bilistS arises over the portion of the proposed Automobile law which pro- vides for the creation of the office of Motor Commissioner, and gives to such commissioner power to appoint every town in the state. who would have full inquisitorial and other pow CTS enabling them to stop, search and arrest motor users any and every where in Connecticut.
 President Fuller is charged with having represented to the committee on roads, rivers and bridges of the Gen eral Assembly. that the legislative committee of the state association favored the proposed bill, including the described feature of it.
 The facts are directly contrary. AL ready the clubs of New Haven, Bridge port and TOrringtOn have condemned the plan.
 A leading officer of the Bridgeport Club said this morning: "Mr. Fuller must retract or the state association will be disrupted. The legislative committee never favored the office of motor commissioner and never will. Fuller's conduct is inexcusable.
 .'The legislation which we are ac- cused of favoring would inf1ict a large and unnecessary expense upon the state. It would bring into being a po- liticaI machine asAuseless as it would be dangerous. The enforcement of au- tomobiIe regulations should be left to the local authorities. They are wide awake and active to prevent viola tions. They can do the work without
 The gentleman continued: "Automo- bi1ists generally are not against the increase in the license fee to $15, all though we regard it as unconstitution- al, because the money is to go to make good roads. But if the commis- sion plan is to go through, we are op- posed to the increased fee, because the sums derived from it are certain to be diverted to the upkeep of the horde of who are to serve under the commissioner"
 The bill is coming up in the Senate necessary if the automobile clubs are to be successful in defeating the scheme.
 It is said that President Fuller claims that he did not say that the legislative committee favored the com missioner plan, but that he said mem- bers of the committee favored it.

SULTAN SEES HIS FINISH
Secretly Negotiates With Young Turks to Save His Head-Onward March of , Young Turks Fills People With Fear.

(By Bysantius Moschopolus, Staff Cor
 respondent of the United Press.) CoQstantinople, April 19.-Realizing that not only his power but his life itself is in eminent danger from the Young Turks movement against the capitol. the Sultan, according to a gen. secretly negotiating with the Young Turks leaders in an effort to convince them that he is not responsible for the uprising.
 The public believes that Abdul has waited too long and that in the event of the Young Turks taking the city his abdication is certain and his death not improbable. Cannon were mount ed about the Tildfz Kiosk to-day. indi- eating that if the Sultan's overtures to the Young Turks are refused, he will make a final and determined stand to retain his power.
 The approach of the Young Turks has aroused the people with fear. The rank and file are anxious to surrender as all reports from the Young Turks are to the effect that they have vastly superior force and are only de- laying the attack until still other thou sands who are Hooking to their banner have arrived at the place of concen- tration which is but a few miles from the city. The Young Turks have sent an ultimatum to the Sultan and the new ministry, embodying the following demands:
 '"The possible surrender of the city: the re-esta blishment of Hilni Pasha's Cabin.t: the restriction of their parlia- mentary seats to the Young Turks who were dismissed as traitors by an edict of the new ministry: the surrenders of the leaders of the revolt, including Ali Kemal. of the Ikdam. Said Pasha. son of Former Grand Vizier Kiamil Pasha and Ismail KemaIbey. These three men are declared to be chiefly responsible along with the Sultan and their execution has been decreed by the Young Turks.
 The certain knowledge that their execution will follow the success of the Young Turks has caused the leadexs to take extreme measures to keep the Sultan's troops in line. Several thou sand of these soldiers are guarding the Yildiz Kiosk and a strong detachment is stationed at the place of the expect ed entrance of the advancing army. x At the first show of strength by the enemy, it is feared that the Su1tan's forces will weaken. Niazi Bey, prominent leader of the Young Turks is reported to have already entered Constantinople and to be organizing "the faithful,'' and winning converts from the ranks of the Sultan's forces.
