SINKS IN HEART OF CITY'S
 HEAVIEST TRAFFIC
Trolley Network Supports Concrete Shell at Fairfield
 Ave. and Main St.

Main street and Fairfield avenue corner is sinking below it's normal level with the result that immediate action will have to be taken by the Connecticut company to prevent it's tracks from being depressed to a point where traffic VIII be suspended.
 All that sustains the loads that now are passing that intersection in the heart of the city is what is known in railroad terms as checkerboard." This is a solidly welded series of frogs and switches which extends as Q bridge, across Main street and Fair fiel davenue to which a sub-strata of solid concrete roadway foundation is dovetailed into the grooved and ''I"' shaped rails. @
 Engineers for the Connecticut com pany observed depressions in the tracks last week. It has been ascer- tained by superficial examination that the center of the steel "checkerboard'' . has been depressed. Beneath the sur face examination revealed that many inches of air-space exist between the concrete roadway and the concrete roadway foundation.
 The police on duty have reported the matter to higher officials in fear that a collection of gas may at any time become ignited and cause explosion. Little can be learned of the sub- strata condition at that point other than it is believed to have been rock which was excavated and a temporary birding of heavy timber laid to cover conduitS and track excavations.

''Not Negotiatable" Wilson's Attitude
 on U-Boat Issue

Washington; May 3.-The announce meth from Berlin that new and deh- mite instructions are to be given to German submarine commanders is the first positive indication of how~Ger- many will attempt to meet President Wilson's final demand that she de- clare and effect an abandonment of the present methods of submarine warfare. :,
 Whether the new instructions will meet the terms of the last American note and thus prevent a, break in dip 1omatic relations can only be deter mined by a thorough and careful ex- animation.
 2 President Wilson is represented by those closest to him as unshaken in his determination that the issue is not negotiable; that a settlement cannot be delayed by discussion of side issues such as the British blockade and di1- atory measures, and that the. contro- versy between the countries can pro ceed further in diplomacy only if Ger many effectua1ly stops destruction of ships without warning and takes

CAPITAL AWAITS NEWS OF AGREEMENT DRAFTED
 AT MEXICO CONFERENCE

I'll Paso May 3-Advices from Mex ico City and Washington are awaited today to set the seal of approval upon a provisional agreement that is under Nstood to have been reached at the in formal conference between General Alvaro7 Obregon, Minister of War of the de facto government, and Major General Hugh L. Scott. chief of staff of the United States army
 ! The conference was not ended until after midnight and the two conferees emerged from the meeting place in good humor.. General Scott immedi- ate1y arranged for the despatch of a code message to Washington giving the details of the understanding reached with General Obregon-
 This detailed report is not expected to reach Washington until late today and it's consideration probably will delay the answer to General Scott un- til Thursday. A similar report is be- ing sent First Chief Carranza. Be- cause of the difficulties of Mexican telegraphic / transmission. it is thought his reply will not reach here until after Washington has made its answer.
 Neither General Scott nor General Obregon would talk of the delibera- tions; in fact, they agreed to maintain strict silence pending the next step in the negotiations. The reported agreement is said to be based on the general proposition that the Aneri- can troops will further retire toward the border and operate against Villa bandits in a restricted district where their presence and activities will not provoke further hostility of the Me1d- can people. It is understood the troops are to remain there until such time as the administration at Wash ington is convinced that the de facto government is able to cope with Villa bands.
 Reports that the American troops will withdraw in either thirty or sixty days are in no way confirmable.

ADOPTED DAUGHTER; THEN
 ENDS OWN LIFE Ansonia Woman Suicide Af-
 ter Murdering Girl of A Eight Years. FEARED SEPARATION
 BY ORDER OF COURT Husband Finds Lifeless Bodies in Bed Few Min
 utes Before Hearing.

Ansenia, Conn.,, May 3-Fearing that the eight-year-old child which she had brought up and mothered since the little girl was a few days old would be taken away from her by the alleged rightfu1 mother of the girl, Mrs Augusta Holzwig, wife of Louis HoIzwig, of Walkers Court, this city, it is believed by the police murdered the cih1d and then committed suicide by cutting her own throat this morn ing.
 According to the story told by the husband, he found them both dead in bed when he returned from a trip to buy clothing for his wife and the little girl, who were going to the probate court this morning where a hearing was to be held on the child's adoption by MT. and Mrs. Ho1zwig. Coroner Mix is Investigating.
 Police Chief Ellis and Medical Examiner pr. Lee Cooper found that apparently Mrs. Ho1zwig had stabbed the chiId-known as Alkaline Geneva Ho1zwig-in the left side of the neck then held the little girl until she had bled to5 death. After that she evil dent1y slashed her own throat with a. razor in such a way that death was almost instantaneous. The stab wound in the chi1d's throat was not sufficient to cause death except by loss of blood.
 Behind the supposed murder and suicide is the tale of a woman who longed for a child, secuted three days old infant from a mother who was willing to part with it and at that time led her husband to believe it was her own, brought it up without the forna1ity of ever having adopted it and then faced the possibility of the real mother taking the little girl away from her. It is believed that worry over the chance of losing the little one led to the tragedy.

EMBARGO ON FREIGHT ON WAY TO BRIDGEPORT NOW WORSE THAN EVER BEFORE
CANNOT SPEAK
 ENGLISH YET HE
 DRIVES A JITNEY
Sabo's Arrest Causes Judge Wilder to Criticise Police /
 Department. x

Joseph Sabo of 994 Wordin avenue cannot speak the English language yet he was able to procure jitney lt- cense from the police department. Judge Frank L. Wilder was much perturbed in city court today when given Sabo a license to operate a jit- ney.
 Repeatedly the late Superintendent Eugene Birmingham has turned down applicants for Ajitney licenses because they were unable to speak the Eng fish language huently. It was neces- sary to procure the services of Court Interpreter Leopold Cohn to get the testimony of Sabo in city court.
 The jitneur was arrested by Motor cycle Policeman Herbert Higgins at 11:15 yesterday morning. He was charged with violating a jitney ordi- nance in falling to bring his car with. in two feet of the gutter before stop ping it to allow passengers to alight. Sabo stopped his car in the middle of the street. He was fined s3 by Judge Wilder.
 When sabo took the witness stand he said he was unable to speak Eng fish. Through Court Interpreter Cohn sI1e was asked by Judge Wilder how he procured a jitney license. Sabo said he talked to Clerk Smith through his attorney. Samuel Mellitz, and that Clerk Smith gave him the permit.
 Judge Wilder said: ''It is a fine state of things when we are going to allow people who cannot speak our language, driving jitney cars about the streets of this city, persons who do not know the statutes or city or dinances. It is but little wonder there are not more serious jitney accidents when sdch people are given licenses p It is believed that the matter. will be discussed by the police boand at their next meeting.
