NO LIABILITY FOR
 REYNOLDS DEATH

No criminal liability on the part of any one is found by Coroner J. J. Phelan for the death of John Reyn- olds, of 25O Fairfield avenue, the night of November 22. Reynolds, | passenger in an automobile driven by Charles Allen of Stratford, was thrown out and killed when the auto mobile collided with a farm wagon owned by Alex Perhal and driven by Michael Kotch, both of Stratford.
 Coroner Phelan finds that Allen was driving at the rate of about 30 miles an hour, and was at the left of the center of the roadway. The farm wagon was on the right side, bu. had no light to indicate its where abouts. The road where tha collis- ion occurred, north of Paradise Green, was straight, but Allen alleg- ed he had passed an automobile truck just before the collision, which cut off his view of the wagon. Cor i oner Phelan does not find that the lack of light on the wagon, or the fact the automobile was a little or the left side of the road makes such negligence as to be classed as crin- inal

SUPT. REDCATE IS LIKELY ID ENTER
 A BUSINESS FIRM
Police Head Denies He Will Resign-Undertakers
 Further Rumor.

Information that Superintendent of Police John H. Redgate was about to resign as head of the police depart ment and that he was going to take an extensive interest in the undertaking firm of Cullinan, Mullins 6 Buckley was partially confirmed today by The Times. What was really disclosed leads to strong intimation that Superintendent Redgate intends to purchase an interest in the undertak- ing firm on behalf of his son Leo.
 When questioned on the matter by a representative of The Times, Super intendent Redgate said there was nothing to the rumor that he was about to resign and enter business. When asked if it was not true that he intended to purchase an interest in the firm of Cullinan, Mullins & Buckley, either for himself or for his son, MT. Redgate said: "I have nothing to say on the matter-perhaps you had bet ter see what Cullinan, Mullins & Buckley have to say about it."
 Following the suggestion the under taking firm was called on the tele. phone and one member of the firm while not exactly verifying the story admitted that some sort of deal was on in which Superintendent Redgate was interested, and further intimated that the superintendent was looking after the interests of his son.

DID NOT EXPECT TO BUILD BRIDGE AS WAS PLANNED
E. D. Tompkins Admits This on Stand This
 Morning.

Edward Devoe Tompkins, president of E. Devoe Tompkins, Inc, admitted on the witness stand In the Superior court today under cross examination by City Attorney W, H. ComIey that notwithstanding he had signed a con tract for his company to build the Grand street bridge and had, studied the plans and specifications, he did not expect to build the bridge just as it was planned. He modified his an swer to some extent, however, as he was required by the question to give a yes or no answer.
 Tompkins also admitted that in a letter which he wrote to Mayor Will son, March 26, 1917, he had exag- gerated when he said that the coffer dams for four piers of the new bridge had been completed for five months, and urged the city to make certain decisions which he claimed were holding up the work. He ad- mitted that the work was not in the advanced stage which his letter indi- cated, but would not admit that it was written with view of having a favorable statement in writing in case of litigation over the bridge contract.
 Questions asked by Judge Comley relating to the capabiIity of the com pany to construct bridges were ruled out by Judge Haines, although number of questions relating to the actual experience as designer and builder of the witness were allowed. Tompkins admitted he had never fully constructed a bridge as contractor, or never entirely designed one as an engineer, although he was concerned in many works of an important na- ture.
 Tompkins is still on the witness stand In the suit of his company against the city for S24O, ,OO0 damages for the city's cancellation of contracts for the Grand street and East Wash ingtor avenue bridges in this city. The action was started two weeks ago, with Tompkins as the first witness. and most of his direct examinations was concerned with identification of papers. principally correspondence. The number Of exhibits in the case breaks all court records, ands Tomp kins' time on the witness stand also sets g new record for the court The
 case is likely to last for several days longer.

Washington, Dec. 3.---President Will son is expected to leave Washington this evening for New York, from which port he and the other American representatives to the peace confer ence will sail on the liner George Washington for Europe.
 Official announcement as to the time of the Presidents departure was not forthcoming early today. It was un- derstood, however, that the regular Tuesday cabinet meeting would be held this afternoon and that fact pre- cluded the departure of the President before evening. It was generally be- lieved that the President would leave Washington this evening, arriving in New York early tomorrow so as to sail probably tomorrow noon.
 The cabinet meeting today was ex- pected to be the final meeting bf the President with his advisers, either in body or as individuals, with the ex- ception of Secretary Lansing who will accompany the President as one of the delegates to the peace conference. i With the departure of MT. Lansing, Counsellor Frank L. Polk will become acting secretary of state.y

TORPEDO BOATS COULD CHECK
 BOLSHEvIkI Or If a Small Landing Force Could Reach Reval It Could Stop Grimes. GERMAN FORCES
 EVACUATE MARVA Esthonian Workmen Near ly All Allied With Bol-
 sheviki Forces.

Berlin, Monday, Dec. 1.-(By the A. P)-If a few British torpedo boats Or light cruisers with even a small land ing force, could reach Reval this week they could dam the Bolsheviki flood which has been murdering, burning and plundering Esthonia and Livonia according to a declaration made to the correspondent by Baron Aexkuell, of Esthonia, who escaped from prison Thursday last.
 Baron AexkueH reports that Ger man forces had begun to evacuate Narva when they were attacked and defeated by Russian troops.
 Last Tuesday, while Guards com lmanded by former Russian officers under the leadership of Count Keller, of the old Russian regime, were at- tackled by a superior Bolshevik force and were defeated with but little loss. While the attack was proceeding last Tuesday, three Russians fired upon the White Guards from the rear contri- outing materially to their defeat. The White Guards, half annihilated, retir- ed
 Esthonian workmen are nearly all ABo1shevist according to Baron Aex- 0kuelI, and the middle classes of Es- I,thonia and Livonia are facing the lsame reign of terror that the Bour- geoisie of Russia have suffered.

CAR STRIKE IN
 CLEVELAND TO REMOVE WOMEN
Male Employees Object To Their Employment by the
 Railway Company.

Cleveland, Dec. 3-To enforce their demands upon the Cleveland Railway Co. for the dismissal of women em- ployed as conductors since last August, 2,400 motormen and conductors went on strike at o'clock this morning.
 The last night car from downtown left the center of the city at , o'clock, the employees agreeing to take their cars to the barns.
 Mayor Davis left for Washington last night to put the question before the war labor board for arbitration after the street car employees voted down a proposition by the mayor to defer action until the war labor board could consider the questions at issue.
 The employees justifying their quitting work on the ground that an agreement with the company for the removal of the women on Nov. 1 and recently extended until Dec. 1 was ignored. The company asserts it re- ceived a telegram Saturday from the secretary of the Natnonal War Labor Board at Washington aslgrs. &t to re- tain the women in its empf6y until their status was determined by the war labor board.
