JOHNSON SAYS
 KING IS AGAINST
 PUBLIC UTILITIES
Therefore Newtown's Rep resentative Is Not for Goodwin As He Has
 Been Chased
Especial to Farmer.)


 Newtown, Aug. 2fRepresentative William Johnson of this town believes that the delegates to the Republican State convention from here will not favor Goodwin. The representative has been doing some guessing since visit he received last week from John T. King of Bridgeport, and Candidate Goodwin MT. King is one of the most energetic Goodwin men in the State and he has been doing yeoman's ser vice in behalf of his candidate. John son says that MT. King is opposed to public utilities bill and has the cour- age to say so while his candidate, MT. Goodwin, claims to be in favor of pub- lie utility bill
 MT. Johnson received a friendly call the other day from MT. King and MT: Goodwin. He had a pleasant chat with both. They sat in MT. Kings automobile and Johnson wanted to know how the candidate stood on the question of a public utility biIl
 Mir King, according to MT. Johnson. replied that he was as much opposed to a public utility bill now as he was before, and said unequivocally that he did not believe in it. MT. Goodwin listened for while and then an- nounced that he favored the principle involved in the proposed bill of the State business men, but could not say that he favored that bill as it stood now.
 There was some further talk before the confab ended. Since the visit MT. Johnson has been doing some think ing on his own account and has con- cluded that if MT. Goodwin was elect ed he might favor a bill. but he is afraid that he would be subject to in- nuences op the part of those who do not want any bill, particularly an eff fective one. Therefore Mr. Johnson, who is a power in Republican circles in Newtown because of his courageous stand against the corporations in the last Legislature, has decided that he cannot assist in furthering the inter >ests of MT. Goodwin in Newtown. He considers MT. Goodwin a charming young man but he believes he is. too closely allied to the interests against which he (Johnson) was arrayed in Hartford at the last session of the Legislature

MURDER CHARGED IMMIGRANTS TO
 BE DEPORTEl

Another capture was credited 1o State Officers Frank Virelli and Rowe Wheeler today. when it became known that, at the request of the United States Immigration authori- ties, they had arrested in Brooklyn Guisepppi Vietrie and Michele Vie trie brothers, who are to be deport- ed to Italy to answer to a charge of murder.
 It is alleged that these men, while confined in an Italian prison, under Is years sentence for crimes they had committed, escaped. and, murder ing the man who had been chief wit nesss against them, fled to this coun- try.
 The work of securing them was given to Carl Bawer, United States immigration inspector. He asked for the assistance of the state officers. The accused have been in this coun- try about Is months. For six months they lived In this city, but then re- moved to Brooklyn, where they were found by the state officers.

ABERCROMBIE'S
 FRIENDS ALERT

Republican friends of William R. Abercrombie in the 9th district were up in arms today oyer the report that an effort was on foot to endeavor to defeat his election as delegate to the city convention. Mir. Abercrom- bic was last evening chosen a dele gate at a regular meeting of the Re- publicans of the district. He won out after spirited contest by substan- tial majority. It was understood by the meeting that the action of the majority would prove satisfactory to the Republicans in the district but if reports are correct there is to be an- other ticket placed in the field with the name of another substituted for that of Mir. Abercrombie. If it should turn out that this trick is to be resorted to the Republican friends of Mr. Abercrombie and there are many will resent it in a manner that will speak for itself

WILTON GIRL SUICIDES WITH
 PISTOL TODAY
Special from United Press.)


 NorwaIk, Aug: 24.-Miss Maude Parkinson, a comedy and popular young woman of Wilton. committed suicide this morning by shooting her self in the head. The cause of the rash act is unknown, but the victim had appeared Respondent of late and it is thought that she was Respondent because of serious illness of her only sister, Carrie, now in the Norwalk hospital.
 The victim was but 21 years of age. She was the daughter of the late MT. and Mrs. John Parkinson and has spent nearly all of her life in the town of the fatality. She had many friends who were alike surprised and grieved to learn of her rash act this morning. She had given no indica- tion of her intention and no suspicion was entertained that she intended to make away with herself.
 The act was we'll planned and it is probable that the young lady was not the least bit nervous when she com mitted the deed.

FATHER CAUSES
 ARREST OF MAN
 WHO SOUGHT GIRL

Parental interference in a romance that had nearly reached the altar led to the arrest today of the prospec- sweetheart's father. The prisoner was accused of having threatened to kill the stubborn father in re- yenge for having thwarted the marri- age even after he had given his con- sent.
 The couple whose romance is now gone to wreck is Michael Deviva, aged 27 a foreman for the B. D. Pierce Jr. Co.,, boarding at 243 Center Street of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miranto Of A Calhoun avenue. Rosina is an op- erative in the Warner Bros Go.
 Deviva was arrested at his home this morning by Patrolmen Dooley and Poland, on the charge of breach Prosecutin~ Attorney Delaney Judge Foster remanded the prisoner in bail of $20O for a hearing tomorrow after the police have had a chance to in vestigate the circumstances leading to the alleged threat.
 Miranto received a letter several days ago which purported to come from Deviva. The epistle was couch- ed in threatening terms and after be- rating the father for interfering with the marriage, it went on to say that the author would knock the old mans s head off his shoulders if the persecu- tion kept up.
 Deviva was so surprised at his ar rest that he couldn't make any intel ligible statement for Hong tlme- But when he did get his wits collect ed. he declared he was not only tir- ed of the old mans interference, but also of the girls affection. With em- phatic gesticulations he declared he wouldn't even stay on the same side of the street with father and daugh- ter any more.
 Deviva said he had twice started for the city hall with his fancee to secure a marriage license, accom- panied by the father whose consent was necessary owing to the age of the girl, but each time the father had withheld his permission at the last moment.
 Deviva now says the father wants to keep the girl at work and fears if she marries he will lose her earn ings, and the lover is of the opinion that if Rosina really loved him as much as she professed, she would hurl defiance at the parental inter fo7
