TINES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. July lit IS
believed here that meeting of the su-
prene court Of Indiana. called as a spe-
cial conference Of the court, may be
held some time next week Several Of
the judges Of the court were in Indian
apolis yesterday attending the meeting
OF the Indiana Bar Association. and fol-
lowing their visit here the opinion pre-
vailed that the special session of the
court might be called within the next
week or ten days.
There are several cases that the court
has under advisement which are Of state
wide interest. and others that are of
peculiar local interest. and 1t is be-
lieved that if a special session Of the
body IS called some action may be look
ed for in some cases. None OF the judges
who attended the meeting Of The bar
association here yesterday would dis
cuss the details Of the possibility Of the
special call, but it was known a Z the
time the court adjourned for the sum
Tner vacation some time ago that II the
necessity arose a special meeting Of the
court might be held to dispose Of what

There is no question but that if the

 Detective Captain B. O. Cronan in announcing his arrest today said that George Hills was about to make good the amount of the bond and that the express company insisted that the fugitive be located and brought back to Bridgeport for trial. Detective Lieutenant Dooley left this afternoon for Norfolk, where Winton is being held pending his arrival. It was also announced that the prisoner has waived extradition rights and will &C., company Lieutenant Dooley back to Bridgeport without any hesitancy.
 When it was discovered that Win- ton had left this oity the attorneys for the Adams Express Co. became in. sistent that he be located. tried and punished, as they claimed that the company was being made the victim of all sorts of swindles without any convictions being obtained and they demanded protection.

BRIDGEPORT IS
 SELLING QUOTA OF THRIFT STAMPS

The post office employees are off in their battle to secure buyers of thrift stamps but the outcome of their first invasion will not be announced until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, stated Commanderin-chi Greene this morning. The campaign was commenced Friday but the warriors have been attacking silently. The big guns will roar after tomorrow morn- ing, when the leaders of the first few days fighting will be announced.
 Field Marshal Caton stated that ar engagements had been made whereby all captains in either General Kellys or General O'Shea's army who sell $25,000 worth of stamps in one week will be made majors. Privates will be advanced to captains upon the recommendation of their captains. It is assured that after the battle gets going there will be only a few prfvates in the ranks.
 Announcement of the total sales for Connecticut ending Saturday shows that the city of Bridgeport has raised $147,712.66 against a total of $1 .164,- 2T5.45 since the drive started. Sales Saturday show that Bridgeport com mittee raised $8,467.54 while only 77,662.44 was reported for the days sale in the state.

RUSSIA OPPOSES ENTRY OF LAPS
 IN TERRITORY
(Continued from Page 1)

The only other explanation for de- stroy1ng the railroads which officials here can think of is the fact that there is a German prison camp near Chita and that Germans may have blown up the bridges with the double purpose of stopping movements of Japanese troops and intrecepting Am bassador Francis.
 The occupation of the Afand is- lands, the dispatches say, is to make them a base for supplying the Ger man occupation of Finland.
 There are 500 Swedish troops on the islands for police purposes. Their commander was notified by the Ger man commander of his intentions, and while so far there has been no clash reported, the Swedish troops have not been withdrawn and the feeling is described here as being very tense.
 Supplementary treaties between the Central powers and the Bolsheviki government were signed in BIest- Litovsk in addition to the main peace treaty, says a telegram from Best Litovsk to London by,way of Vienna.
 Former official announcement of the signing has not yet been received from the Russian side, but a late wireless message from Petrograd said the treaty would be signed Sunday.
 As the German official statement of Sunday night mentions only the ces- sation of operations in Great Russia it is inferred in some quarters here that the German advance in the Ukraine and Finland will continue while the Germans reserve for them selves generally a free hand outside the limits of Great Russia.

CROSSLEY WILL FIGHT AGAINST
 EXTRADITION

J. Harry Crossley, prominent churchman, Bridgeport real estate operator and New York broker, who is now in the Tombs prison, New York city awaiting extradition to Bridge port to answer charges of forgery and embezzlement has announced his in- tention to fight against being brought back to Bridgeport where it is alleged he has mulcted many persons out of sums of money exceeding a total of s5O,o0O.
 Beside the charge made against him by Alderman Robert N. Blakeslee, who claims he defrauded him out of $5,000, Judge John S. Pullman claims he has a case against Crossley for $10,00O that he is alleged to have swindled the Harvey & Lewis firm out of in a Main street realty deal.
 Detective Captain D. o. Cronan is of the opinion that it will be some time before Crossley will be brought back to this city to face his accusers as extradition papers must first be obtained and signed by the governor
 
 be taken from New York, whether they waive extradition rights or not.
 Crossley has announced his inten- tion to fight being brought back to Bridgeport, the authorities here do not put much stock in his chances for a big legal battle as they say he has very little money and it takes a great deal to wage a lawyers battle such as he threatens.
 While waiting for the extradition papers the Bridgeport authorities are busy trying to uncover some more of Crossley's financial schemes and if possible to discover those who were connected with him in any way in his campaign of money getting"
 Prominent churchmen in Bridgeport are shocked at the disclosures in the case as Crossley was always in the foremost ranks of the churchmen in every fight against vice of any kind in Bridgeport He had a good voice , and was always a conspicuous figure at every church affair in this section. When he left Bridgeport to escape be- ing arrested on a body writ, he imme diately allied himseilf with the con- gregation of the exclusive Fifth Ave- nue Baptist church in New York, and soon became a leader in that organ ization.

POLICE THINK HE KNOWS ASSAILANT

Investigating the mysterious shoot ing in which Robert Brown, 37, of 92 Balsam Place, was seriously wounded in the right thigh while crossing the railroad tracks on the Trumbull road last night, the police are inclined to believe that Brown knows more about who fired the shot than he cares to admit. He now lies in St. Vincent's Hospital in a critical condition, al- though the doctors say he will recover.
 The shooting happened last night shortly before II o'clock when Brown says he passed a short, stoclzy man as he was in the vicinity of Beardsley Park. He declares that he can give no reason why anyone should injure him and denies having any knowledge of an enemy.
 Detective Captain Cronan Is of the opinion that the man is holding back something, but is going on with a thorough investigation and hopes to clear up the mystery within a very short while.

AMERICANS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL. IN
 NO MANS LAND

With the American Army in. France, Sunday March 3-(By the Associated Press)-Some of the American troops in the Chemin des Danes sector are having an experience of cave life be- hind the front trenches, their billets oelng deep underground quarries and natural recesses beneath the surface. The correspondent on a visit to this sector found them thus quartered, occupying positions held by the Ger mans less than a year ago.
 Most of the Americans, however, are living in the trenches and accom- panying dugouts. The front line trenches have been cleaned, strength ened and improved and are well pro- tected with barbed wire entangle- ments.
 At another point the correspondent saw some men who had just complet- ed their round of trench duty.
 As soon as the Germans learned that the Americans were in the trenches opposite them they put up a sign reading:
 Welcome Yankees"
 The infantrymen riddled it with bullets until it looked like sieve
 All the soldiers with whom the visi- tor talked expressed pleasure at be- ing in the trenches rather than in a training camp.
 A French captain declared the Americans had assumed control of No Mans Land soon after entering the trenches in a certain sector.
 s-. trol fighting there said that the hand ful of Americans attacked with so much force and vigor that the Ger mans threw up their hands and shout ed 'tKamerad," in the belief that there were many more in the attacking party.
 Although numerous daring, cour- ageous deeds have been performed by the Americans in that sector, one of the most interesting is that of a Ger man-born sergeant who, with small detail, took a German prisoner in a patrol fight but lost his way, with the result that the party wound up at the Herman barbed wire, where they could plainly hear the Germans talk ing in their dugouts. The sergeant pointed a revolver at the prisoners head and whispered in German:
 Maybe they'll get us before we can get back, but if they try it I'll kill you first Now don't utter a sound, and lead us back to our line"
 The German prisoner silently led the Americans back to their own trenches and then was turned over to the intelligence officer of the unit, who gained much valuable information, from him.

Encouragement of
 Passenger Trains

Washington, March 4-Passenger train schedules between Chicago and St. Louis were ordered rearranged to- day by Director General McAdoo to reduce from 15 to nine the number of trains daily each way, effective Mar. 1T.
 Competing trains at approximately the same hours will be eliminated and railroad administration officials give assurance that the public will not be seriously inconvenienced. It is esti- mated that the new schedules will save 9,53S tons of coal a month. Freight traffic also will be improved.
 Railroad tickets will be good on any line. Further removal of compe- titive trains west of the Mississippi is expected soon.
