and north of Wells street there were trees young enough to be transplant ed.
 Alderman Walker said that while he had supported the petition before he would not do so now, for he had de- cided it would be better to have the street. widened throughout than to widen it by sections. Alderman King voiced his objection and said the street was 40 feet wide, ample for the needs of that section. Alderman Primrose said that since Barnum ave- nue has been widened and the trees taken from the street. Washington
 ''But you can't live in the woods all the time. if you're going to live in Bridgeport" said Alderman Far rell.
 Alderman Garrity took exception to the argument that North avenue is wider than Fairfield avenue or State street.
 "It's not our fault that Fairfield avenue or State street isn't wider" said he. Everyone admits Fairfield avenue isn't wide enough. But what would 1t cost to widen that street now? Here's chance to make North avenue wide enough without much ex> pense. Why not do it?"
 Alderman Brady reminded the al- dermen that the widening would not take any property from the residents, but would simply set back the curb of the exceptionally wide sidewalk.
 The~vote was taken by roll call.
 The petition of Frank Schasck and nue from Lindley street to Main street was referred to the Committee on Streets and Sidewalks. of which Alderman Walker is chairm"a.

Petition Calls For Improvements From Lindley to Main
 Streets
Petition of St. Patrick's is De- feated by Vote of 12 to 1O- Project On,y Temporarily Delayed

Notwithstanding the defeat of the North avenue widening project at the meeting of the Common sCouncil last A evening, petition of much broader scope was introduced in that body, which overcomes many of the objections offered to the original pes tion. principally in that 1t embrAces a much longer stretch of the street.
 The original petition offered by St. Patrick's church corporation, was defeated last evening by vote of Is to II. Alderman Walker, who fa- vored the petition when it was ori- ginally passed upon. changed his vote the Socialist, voted in accordance with instructions given him by his party, against the petition.
 Spirited debate preceded action on the petition. The matter came before the council last evening on the veto of Former Mayor Buckingham. The petition was granted by vote of IF to 10 in the former Common Council, and it was vetoed by sMayor Buck ingham just before he left office. Mayor Wilson asked the aldermen to withhold action on the veto when 1t Common Council as at present or ganized. He wanted the aldermen to familiarizs themselves with the pro- ject.
 Here IS the vote on the widening project as taken last night: Tn favor, Brady. Garrity. Mccoy. Cassidy. Nor an, Hardy. Reddy, Carroll, voos, Far rell. Lyddy.
 Opposed Timko. Walker. DeForest, Primrose, MacFayden, Garlick, Guy P. Miller, Paul Miller. Stewart, Steig- Ter, Meyer, King, Cederholm
 Both the aldermen from the Eighth favored the project.
 Alderman Brady spoke of its be- ing the only thoroughfare besides Fairfield avenue offering direct com- munication between the extreme East End and extreme West End and out lined plans for the further develop ment of the thoroughfare as a means of automobile traffic, for the relief of the congestion of Fairfield avenue. When the committee passed on the petition. and recommended it, the al- dermen had in mind. he said, the fur ther widening of the street. The pro- posed present widening was brought to stop at Whitney avenue. he said, because it is planned to make changes in the grade of the street to conform to the elevation of the Berkshire tracks. next year.
 Speaking of the shade trees. he said that there were only four north of Parallel street that must be cut down,

Powers Threaten To Interfere In
 China's Affairs

Shanghai, Dec. 19-Delegates to the peace conference received notes from the powers. today, urging them to arrive at some agreement that would restore peace in China. While the notes were of a friendly character, the recipients could read between. the lines that the powers will interfere unless an early end of the struggle is promised
 It is generally admitted here that there has been little hope of the con. ferees agreeing on peace terms but the pressure of the powers is expct- ed to make both sides more yielding.
 Messages were received, early to, day, from Yuan Shi Kai, informing Wi, that he had telegraphed all the imperial generals ordering them to observe the armistice at once. This is expected to promote a more friend 1y discussion.
 Dr. Wu Ting Fang, head of the rev. olutionary cenferees, held a confer ence with the rebel leaders over the note from the powers
 Tang Shao Wi received several tele- grams from Yuan Shi Kai instructing him how to act in view of the posi- t1on taken by the powers.
 All the delegates are observing the greatest secrecy
 Washington, Dec. 1s-The United States, today, joined with all the worldly powers in addressing a note Shanghai, which in effect serves to inform them that. unless they reach an agreement. they may expect for. eign intervention. The note does no, make direct statement to that ef- feet but it is so interpreted.

Especial from United Press.) ,


 St. Petersburg, Dec. 19-Anti-Amer- jeans were denouncing the United States on every hand, today, follow ing the notification by President Taft that the treaty of 1882 would be abro- gated. Although unwilling to talh for publication government officials are bitter toward the American gov ernment and there is considerable talk of boycotting American goods. The government believes that Pres- ident Taft's action was taken. to boI- ster up an already weakening political popularity and that he expects to "re> tain his office through the influence Of Jewish money and votes."
 American Ambassador Curtis Guild, Jr., held another conference with M Sazonoff, minister of Foreign Affairs today
 There is every indication that Rus- sia will allow the treaty to lapse and will refuse to enter into a new one This would leave Russia free to deal with American subjects as she sees ht and would also work considera ble hardship upon the American export CTS.
