ATTORNEYS HAVE
 SHARP TILTS' IN CONSPIRACY CASE
Norwalk Lawyer Says Grudge Made Him De-
 fendant in Civil Action.

Former Prosecutor Leo Davis of Norwalk took the witness stand in the common pIeasNcourt this afternoon and vigorously denied the charge of conspiracy made against him and Att te,s<fey L. s- Beers of Norwalk in a suit brought by Elizabeth Mills of Nor walk.
 Attorney Davis alleges the action was brought because of a personal grudge harbored by Attorney Joseph A. Gray of NorwaIk. The accused lawyer explained the transaction in which MT. Mills claimed there was conspiracy to defraud her. He said he had acted as counsel for Mrs Mills in two suits and in return for legal services and disbursements had taken a building lot. The building lot was worth only $25O. He declared Mrs. Mills appeared at the time to be sat- isfied with the arrangement
 On account of the bitter feeling be-, tween the witness and Attorney Gray the cross-examination developed some lively verbal tits Attorney Davis asked Attorney Gray to address ques- tions to him instead of to the jury and Gray exclaimed: "I don't care for your criticisms" When testi- mony from previous hearings was read read, Attorney Davis refused to take rGray's word, but insisted upon seeing each paper. The hearing was resumed this afternoon.

More Troops Needed
 For Pursuit of Villa

Fl Paso, Tex, April 5-The problem of locating and capturing Villa some where within area of 1,6OO square miles, confronts Brig. General Per shing today.
 Information from the front states that the American troops have been disposed to the best possible advan- tage but the task of running down the Mexican bandit in an ever widening territory the brigand moves south ward into the Mexican interior, be- comes increasingly difficult
 More troops are necessary, it is de- c1ared. General Pershing has order. ed that detachments of infantry be trained for mountain climbing and the establishment of sort of American chasseur corps will be undertaken.
 Thes American commander antici- pates long hunt and is preparing for it. A Torreon, despatch places Villa at Mafca, 90 miles southwest of Guerrero. If this is true, the bandit probably is proceeding along the old coach road that leads into Santa Rosa1ie. whence he could move on to Parral, his reported objective.
 Through the intercession of Mexi- can Consul Garcia, the executions of three ring1eaders of the conspiracy to seize Juarez last Sunday night and declare for the VilIa-Felix Diaz plot have been stayed. The conspirators were to have faced a firing squad in J uarez at sunrise today.

ARRANGE LIST
 OF QUESTIONS FOR ELECTION
Huge Municipal Debt Issue Before Voters One Week
 From Saturday.


 The arrangement is ready of the questions to be voted on at the special election Saturday, April 18th, when according to the plans of the admin istration the people will be asked to vote about two and one-half million dollars in bonds.< Mayor wilson has drawn a tentative draft of the order in which he thinks the questions ought to- be submitted. This draft has been submitted to City Attorney Gom- ley for his approval before it is offered to the voters
 The question of $25o, ,oo0 for new school buildings appears first. Next comes the proposed $500. 900 for sewers and then the half million dollar bond issue for pavement other than water bound macadam-meaning Warrenite Other proposed bond issues including money to swell the police and fire de- pertinent funds trail along afterward.,
 As soon as City Attorney Comley passes on the questions Town Clerk Schultz will. be ordered to geE copy to place on the voting machines.
 The sadm1nistration will pay no heed to Alderman Harrigan's resolution to have the vote. taken in school houses. Instead, the party henchmen who have stores to rent will get the voting places. Wherever it is practical the polling places will be located in the district Republican clubs to help out with the rent.

SHIP CARPENTER, DESP P0N|DENT, IS
 SUICIDE BY GAS
George Little's Corpse Dis covered In Rooms of
 Minstrel Club. sx

Despondent over injuries recently received, without a home, his relatives living in England, George Little, age
 4s- a ship carpenter, committed sui eide by gas poisoning at the rooms of the Bridgeport Minstrel club, Kossuth street and jStratford avenue, some time last night.
 Little was seen about the club rooms last night and his fellow mem bers had no thought of his intention He was found lying on his back on a table in the meeting room of the club by William Wass, 37 Burroughs street, at 10 o'clock this morning. At his side and dangling to the floor was a rubber gas hose from which gas was escaping when Wass entered the room. The tube had been detached from a gas stove. The janitor called the emergency hospital ambulance corps. Dr. John F. Canavan said the hours. Wass said Little had, been Respondent.
 ! Medical Examiner s. M. Gar1ick was notified and he gave permission for the removal of the body to the 'morgue of Cu1hnan & Mullins where it will remain until funeral arrangements have been completed.
 At one time Little worked at the Lake Torpedo Co. as a ship carpenter. He left there short time ago and went to work at the Remington Arms & Ammunition. Co.,. A few weeks ago he slipped on an icy sidewalk and suf- fered a. fracture of the right arm. The hone was set at sthe emergency hos pital, but Little refused to be trans ferred to a hospital.
 Until a short time ago he roomed at the home of Manuel Hutton, 30 Elias street, He was requested to leave his boarding house and has since roomed at the Minstrel club rooms. He was a prominent member of the club, although he never held office there. He has been in this country for the last 10 years. He has no rela- tives in this country
 Little was a member of the Carpen- ters & Joiners union. It is believed that special meeting of that body will soon be, called to assist in providing a. burial for Little.

Department Orders
 7 More Motor Trucks

Washington, April 5-The war de- partment today Authorized purchase of 10S more motor trucks and two gasoline tanks for J the expedition. These will be formed into companies of 27 cars each, maintaining the greatly heightened lines of communi- cation with General Pershing. A despatch today to the department indi- cates that General Pershing had gone far south, toward the fighting center.
 A despatch from General Funston was as follows:
 Met Col. Dodd yesterday at Provf- dencia and got details. of fight with Villa bandits on March 29. His ex- petition march with the Seventh cav airy to reach Villas camp and work done by that command deserves high praise"
 General Funston sent no further de- tails today of the latest engagement of the American troops with a band of Villa forces near Aguas Ca1ientes. The order for more motor trucks is due to a growing conviction that the elementary service for the present at rely principally on the overland motor line from Columbus.
 Meanwhile, however, the state de- partment is continuing it's negotiations with General Carranza to get use of the railways.
 The offer of the Aero Club of Amer ica to sell two aerop1anes to the gov ernment for one dollar each has been declined. The new appropriation of $500,0OO for more aeropIanes made it's acceptance unnecessary.

STREETS DUST COVERED.
 NINE ARE STRICKEN BY
 MENINGITIS, ONE IS DEAD

Dust laden streets in Bridgeport have resulted in nine cases of spot ted fever. One victim, Irving Perl man. has died of the disease
 Genuine alarm is felt Ry attaches of the health department. Six vic tims are in the Bridgeport hospital suffering with the illness.
 Street sprinkling is supposed to be- gin April 1. Rarely has a street of the city visited by a sprinkling cart since the beginning of the month and as a result, dust in great quantities is blowing about the highways.
 Irving PerIInan is one of the Bridgeporters who has inhaled the fatal germs. He was a chef at the Remington Arms & Ammunition Co.
