FACTS ON CYMR|C

Berlin. May 11.-German officials
refused to discuss the torpedoing Of
the British munitions ship Cymric
today, saying that no reports from the
submarine commander was expected
for several days.
However, such explicit instructions
have been given to submarine cap
tains that there is little chance OF a
new German-American controversy.
When the Cymric facts are known,
it is stated, to prevent any American
challenge of Germany's good faith in
the submarine crisis, Germany will
possibly acknowledge receipt OF Pres
ident Wilson's rejoinder on the U

eliminating 10 years OF constant
application and scientific research Da-
vid Petri PaITnedo of 1885 Park ave-
nue. together with Edward F. Goddard
of East Main street, Stratford, have
completed a new type setting machine
of the Iine-of-type variety.
Patents for multiple magazine
were issued under date of Feb. at
Washington, concluding the invention
of Mr. Pa1medo who has labored for
the last three years in secret at a
shop, 856 Broad street.
The machine will soon be manlfac-
tured generally throughout the United
States under the direction of the Elec-
trio Compositor Co. of New York.
many improvements in the present
method Of setting lines of type are
said to be included in the new ma
chine, chief among which may be
mentioned the arrangement for align
ing the matrices Of all varieties of,
type used in the various magazines.
Thus any point from IL to Sc point
headline can be thrown together in
one line without special setting of the

Other Brtdgeporters to be granted
patents this week are: Frank v. Bur-

REMINGTON CO.'S
RELIEF REQUESTS
NOT TO BE MET
Board Of Relief Visits Plant
And Is Not Inclined To
Agree With Firm.

Members of the board of relief spent
the day yesterday inspecting the fac
tories of the Remington Arms & Am
munition Co. @nd the Remington
Arms-U. M. c. Co, but they are not
inclined to grant the appeals of these
companies for. reductions in their tax
assessments. The Remington Arms
U. M. c.. Co. asks a reduction of ST.
370,774 from its assessment of $5,143,-
101. The Remington Arms & Ammu-
milton Col. asks for a reduction of ap-
proximately $4,000 from its assess
ment of Sc, 551, 1856.
From statements made today it ap-
pears unlikely that any reduction will
be made in the ASSESSING nts OF any of
the manufa cturers. The board will
meet fror% Q o'clock to 4 o'clock Fri
day afteRnoon and from to o'clock
the same evening to hear further ap-
peals OF manufacturers and business
men for reductions in assessments.
The board is granting reductions to
small property holders rather than to
big business people.
Murray H. Chaplin, manager of the
Union Ribbon Co. called at the as
SCISSORS office today to inquire why
the assessment of his company and
that of the old Yost Typewriter Co.
has been increased $4,000. Mem
bers of the board of relief couldn't
tell him and they seemed satisfied to
let the increase stand.

Powder, 100000
Pounds, Arrives
In Local Harbor

Two hundred thousand pounds Of
powder was taken about the Bridge
port harbor at midnight last night.
The explosive, enough to annihilate
the city, arrived on the steam canal
er Paragon, destined for the Union
Metallic Cartridge Co. Instead of
turning up yellow Mill river, for the
City Ice & Coal Co. dock where the
powder boats are being un1oaded, the
Paragon proceeded up the harbor to
the Stratford avenue bridge. 1t blew
imperitive1y for this to be opened,
but when all was ready for it to pass
through decided it did not want to go
that way after all. 1t then turned
about and made way to Yellow Mill
river, arriving without accident at its
dock.
A corps of expert powder handlers
went to the dock about o'clock this
m ornfng and began to unload the pow
der In about two hours the con-
signment of explosive was safely
housed in the big plant of the U. M.
C. Co.
The powder is the second assign
ment to arrive this week. On Monday
the Ara arrived with $780, 900 pounds
of the explosive. Because of the
freight embargo. on q the railroad,
boats are being pressed into service
to convey the powder, which is pur-
chased in various mills through tout
the country, from New York city to
Bridgeport.

President TO Pass On
Acceptance Of Newest
Note on the Lusitania
CONTINUED from Page one.

It goes on to say that the German
government, recognizing the habil-
ity'' for their loss makes proposals
contained in the drafts submitted to-
day and then goes on to deal with the
question of reprisals against others
than enemy subjects. The change
which the Berlin foreign Office has
made in the wording of the latter pro-
posa1 has not been publicly disclosed
but from the air Of optimism which
prevailed today there was q general
impression that the chances Of it's de-
laying negotiations were slight.
The Lusitania negotiations have
approached the settling point so
many times, only to be delayed by
new developments, that administra-
ton officials today were not ready to
say that the final draft was entirely
acceptable for, they explained, no one
but President Wilson himself could
decide that. The fact that the agree
nent by the last revision was Sub
stantia1ly in accord with the views
of the President leads them to con-
fident belief that the long controver-
sy surrounded by SO many dangerous
perplexities was at last coming to a
close.
