TRUMBULL DEPUTY
 GETS BEST PLACE
 IN COUNTY COURTS
French will Be in Civil su- perior Court-other Ap-
 pointments Made.

The assignment of the newly ap- pointed deputy sheriffs to court posi- tions was made this morning by Coun- ty1Sherih- elect Pease. Deputy John French of TrunbuH will be stationed in the civil superior court. Selah Blakeman of Shelton, goes to the civil court of common pleas and w. H. Gould of Fairfield, gets the criminal common pleas berth. Another dep uty{ may be assigned later for duty in the criminal superior court.
 The civil superior job is considered the best because the court is in ses- sion 8 greater number of days and this means more pay for the deputy who gets $5 for every day he ofdciates. Deputy Blakernan returns to the place he held when he was a deputy under former Sheriff Hawley. This court does plenty of business so the assign ment is considered worth having. The criminal common pleas court will not be in session so often as the others.
 . Sheriff-elect Pease received his commission today from Governor HoIconrb He has already resigned as county commissioner so there is nothing left for him to, do but take the oath of office June 1. He said he was not ready to announce the name of. the deputy who will succeed Mortimer D. Stowe. the Sixth district politician who declined appointment

: Washington, May 22.-with only four members of the Industrial Rela- tions Commission present, Chairman Walsh to-day resumed his cross-exam- nation of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., on his relation to the industrial warfare in the coal fields of Colorado. Mrs J. Borden Hartman, who protested against the attitude of Mr.. Walsh in his examination of MT. Rockefeller, was one of those absent.
 When MT. Rockefeller left the stand yesterday he was defining his if the constituted authority failed to protect life and property any one was Justified in using all the force neces- sary to that end.
 MT. Rockefeller reiterated his opin- ion that when the authorities failed to protect life and property the private citizen had the right to use force to use Of force against an officer would be justified only in circumstances which would. assure a, finding inno- cence in a. court of law and, in spite of a long wrang1e with the chairman, steadfastly refused to add to the statement.

GREAT BATTLE RACES
 ALONG RIVER SAN

London, May 22.-A great battle is still raging along a 25O mile front on the eastern line. Although Russia. is gaining on both Hanks. the decision must come along the so mile front in the center, along the river San, in central Galicia. where the Austrians and Germans are still pressing the offensive.
 The latest Petrograd communities ton states that this attack is being checked between the San and the great marshes Of the Dneister.
 The Russian press, while admitting that the Teutonic forces have estab- Iished themselves across the San, de- cIares they can go no farther in that direction. Petrograd also has been cheered by the official report that the Russians are again advancing against the Turks in the Caucasus.
 On the western line. Paris reports that the French stopped a strong night attack of the Germans north of Ypres and also have driven the in vaders from the slopes of Lorette, thus giving the allies full possession of this important salient

MAN MAY DIE AS i. RESULT OF FIGHT
 AT U. M. c. SHOP
Construction Go. Employe in Hospital With Fractured
 Skull.

As a sequel of the clash at the U. M. c. Co. plant between English speak ing workmen@ and foreign-born per sons last week while large order for munitions was being prepared for another assault has resulted in placing Thomas Done8 an employe of the T. J. Pardy Construction Co, in the hospital, where he lies between life and death
 Attacked with nurderous intent by a. 1aborer with a shovel in his hands, Done's skull was fractured and his as- saiIant has eluded the police
 The patient, upon whom a trephin- ing was made this morning in an effort to save his life, was working at the plant last Wednesday when in an aa- tercatfon with a man described as 'sPasqualle, '' he was struck on the head with a shovel.
 He was sent to Dr. George Bl CoweN who dressed his wounds. He was ap- parently suffering from 2 no serious complications. When the patient re- turned again yesterday it was found that fracture of the skull bone had been suffered and he was sent at once to the Bridgeport hospital. where a Econsid derable portion ofs splintered bone was removed this morning.
 The police. when notified, began an investigation at once which tends to show that Dones assai1ant did not de- lay but immediately after felling his man made his escape from the city.

in 1916 will be 20 mills without state tax.
 Lynch and William P. Kirk, other members of the board, expressed a strong opinion that next years rate will be 24 mills, without any state tax.
 Assuming that these mrnissioners. who have had much experience in city finance, are correct in their views, the tax srate in 1914 may go as high as 271k mills, a rate of 24 mills for ordi.. nary purposes, and three mills with interest to meet the demands of the state, and a half mill for county.
 The county tax is due in July. It will be more than $1 5000 and there is but $12.500 of funds available to meet it.
 CoInnnissfoner Kirk said that had the city auditor been permitted to keep a cash balance Of &100. 900, it would not now be necessary to lay the special tax. as the necessary funds might be taken from this surplus, and restored when the next rate is made.

Bedding, May 22-Some person who is demented or who has some grievance against the citizens of Red ding is using a slow burning fuse to destroy by fire, residences and barns in this neighborhood on the average of two or three a month
 That. is the theory on which: the board of selectrnen have been asked to work as result of the latest fn- eendiary act. which occurred this morning when large barn and an ice house on the property of Her bert $. Barnes in Bedding Ridge were destroyed and other buildings valued at $25, GOO were barely saved.
 For months the citizens of Bedding have been wrought up by the outrages that have been perpetrated by ire bugs Buildings containing cattle and valuable equipment, houses and furniture, and garages have been re- Aduced to ashes in some inexplicab1e manner. Investigation has failed to show the culprits. and most of the ca ses are believed to have been cer- tainIy incendiary.
 As a result of a study of the cir cumstances sn connection with the latest case, citizens have advanced the belief that a slow w-bt1rnfng fuse is be- ing used by some person or persons. The seIectmen will be urged to offer 9 reward for the apprehension of the incendiaries.
 About 10 o'clock this morning smoke was seen coming out the front door of the largest barn on the Barnes estate, by a family who occu- pied a. furnished room in another barn nearby. They gave the alarm by tel ephone and in a few minutes, many neighbors locked to the scene to fight 4he flames. Garden hoses were turn sd on the fire, which originated in a

The seriousness of the Installation Of the .smefit'i system in the public schools, as far as the teachers are con carned,iss shown by the fact that legal counsel has been consulted as to ways and means of fighting the system.
 Attorney Jacob Ba Klein has been waited on by a committee from the Bridgeport Teachers association in the effort to formulate a plan to com bat what the teachers consider not. only an unjust system but a ridiculous one.
 Legal proceedings are not neces-. sAry just now, the attorney counsel ed. He told the teachers to call upon President Elmer H. Ravens of the board of education and ask him for

 The association comnnittee has not decided whether to appear before the board or not, but the advice of their attorney is to avoid written protests.
