ASK COMMISSION FOR MAKING SALE.
 OF REAL ESTATE

Whether David F. Watson and Aaron DeVorkin shall receive accom- mission of five per cent. on SIS, ,O000 for the sale of the building formerly oc cupied by the Bridgeport Standard to M. J. Buechler, is the question which Judge Donald T. Warner of the Su- perior Court is asked to decide in q suit heard by him today.
 Watson and DeVorkin allege they engineered the sale to Buechler, al- though Archibald McNeil, Jr. and Kenneth McNeiI deny that allegation and say Buechler was their own GUS toner, and deny they owe the com mission.
 DeVorkin testified that Watson told him he had the sale of the building, and DeVorkin proposed Buechler as a customer. There were several con- versations, and although the original price of $60,O00 mentioned by the McNeils was raised to $75,000 Buechler agreed to buy, and the Nc Neils were so informed. They, ac- cording to DeVorkin, said. all right the deal was closed, but they were too busy to make out the papers Later the price was raised to $S5, ,00O but finally a deal was made direct be- tween BuechIer and the owners.

FOE FAILS TO RENEW
 ATTACKS
Abandon Effort to Take Hill A From the
 French Forces.
ITALY STILL QUIET
Heavy Barrage Laid on U. s. Lines But No
 Infantry Action.

Local fighting has died down again in Flanders and Picardy and only the guns are busy. The artillery fire continues all along these fronts, as well as on the Arras front and is most violent north of Kemmel and north and south of the Somme from Albert to the Avre.
 These sectors have been the scenes of all the recent fighting and they probably will see the strongest enemy efforts whenever the Germans believe the time is opportune to strike anew. In Flanders the Germans have been disappointed in their attempt to gain hilI-44, as the French not only drove them from the high ground but also penetrated the enemy positions.
 In Picardy the Germans have not renewed their counter attacks to drive the French from the wooded terrain

GERMANS FOUND FROM NORTH SEA
 CLEAR TO 0ISE

Paris, May 16.---There are six Ger mans to the yard on the greater part of the F'ranco-Belgian front from the North sea to the Disc, according to the Gaulois, which bases the state ment on the information it reports having been received by the general staff that 150 German divisions are situated in this area.
 Ten of the divisions it is said, are in the. region between ~Nieuport and Ypres, 40 divisions are between Ypres and La Bassee canal, and 100 div1s- ions from La Bassee canal to the Disc.
 On this basis, it is estimated, says the newspaper, that the German strength from Ypres to the Disc is some six men to the yard, except on the northern part of the front, above Ypres, where the estimate is a third nf that number.

CLASS OF BEER WILL NOW COST
 A NICKEL MORE
Prices of "Nips" are going up.

Prices of "Nips' are going up.
 Bartenders employed in the differ ent cafes in Bridgeport have asked for increases of wages and a 54 hour week, and the members of the Liquor Dealers association are meeting this afternoon to pass upon the request.
 It will probably be granted, but at the expense of those who patronize the bars.
 In connection with the request of the bartenders the dealers will con- sider the advisability of increasing the price of the stuff they pass over the bars Tentative prices mentioned, and which may of the dealers say will be adopted. are 20 cents for a drink of bar whiskey, and 10 cents for a glass of beer. Other drinks will advance in about the same proportion.
 Members of the Dealers association who were seen this morning were not inclined to say much about the in crease in price, but said such an in crease is necessary to meet the de- mands of the bartenders and prevent a strike, and also that the growing scarcity of liquors warrants charging a higher figure.
 Thomas F. Flynn, president of the Dealers association, confirmed the meeting and the probably increase in prices.
 The advance, of course, is blamed upon the general increase of costs due to the war.

 OF l. W. W. HEADS

Chicago, May 16.-Further corre- Epondence between Albert Prachner, Pennsylvania organizer, and William D. Haywood, relative to the alleged anti-war campaign in Pennsylvania last summer, was presented by the government today in the sedition con- spiracy trial of 112 members of the I. W. W.
 The documents seized by the gov ernment showed that Prachner, op- erating mostly in the anthracite coal regions of central Pennsylvania, urged miners to disregard the selective ser vice law and denounced the present form of government.
 Correspondence between Haywood and John Baldazzi, whose field of ac- ton stretched from the eastern coast to the mining fields of Michigan and northern Minnesota, also was present. ed for the records.
 It is alleged that Balldazzi a sypS dicalist in Italy, fled from that coIn, try and became radical opponent of this government.
