GAR SERVICE
 IS PARALYzED
Hearings on Controversy Before War Labor Board
 in Washington.

Newark N. J., March 13-Street car service in 12 northern New Jersey counties was paralyzed again today, although the Public Service Corpora ton attempted to operate a few cars with employees who refused to join the 4,500 striking motormen and con- ductors. No service was attemp pted by the company after 6:30 last night until a. m. today, when a few cars were sent out on runs. Yesterday the first day of the strike, the com pany claimed that 15 per cent. of it's cars were operated. Normally about $50 cars are operated.
 The strike. which has been virtu- ally free from violence, has brought out a large number of automobiles and other conveyances to take work men to factories.
 The strikers, members of the Anal gamated Association of Street & Electric Railway Employees, demand recognition of their union. Francis Bird, a federal mediator, was in con ference today with leaders of the strikers and officials of the company in an effort to bring about a settle nent.
 Washington, March 18.-Heartnes on the controversy between the New Jersey Public Service Corporation and it's striking street car employees will begin here tomorrow morning before the War Labor Board
 Acceptance of an invitation to both sides to submit their differences to the board was received today from the Public Service Corporation and it was decided to proceed with arrangements for the hearings without awaiting a reply from the men.
 If the employees do not agree to the proposal that they submit the con troversy to the board and return to work pending a decision. they never theless will be asked to have represen- tatives present to set forth their side of the case.

of the OGormans and the CohaIa- rans. In turn MT. Wilson has extend ed these acknowledged enemies no political patronage.
 ''I must warn you not to align yourselves with these New Workers. They are not Americans; neither are they Irish. They would sacrifice you and your organization in order to re- cover the national patronage which they lost in the election of Woodrow Wilson.
 The League of Nations will pre- vent future wars. The objections raised by some people are that five European Nations by their votes would bind the United States to Flu ropean demands. If Europe decides to combine her forces against the United States she can do so without a League of Nations. The idea is ri- ddculous. The League of Nations ap- peals to me in the light of a prophy- tactic, a preventive. a serum, to cause an anti-toxic international condition whereby a Pestilence known as war will lose it's virulence. Any measure to prevent the propagation of the war disease Is a welcome pill. The first treatment and preventive is the League of Nations.
 Now. I as an American ask all my fellow citizens to support this resolu- ton to be placed in the form of Q ca bIegram and dispatched to our Presi- dent in Paris.

Many ob- jections to this motion were immedf- ately made with the result that the local will be known as the "DeVaIera Branch" It was admitted by sev- 1 eral members that the name CohaI- an would be embarrassing and that it would be discreet not to mention the name in connection with the purposes l of the movement in Connecticut Friends Elect Officers | John J.

The castle is owned by old friends, Prince and Princess Wedel.
 Preparations for his reception are said to have gone So far that vast sums were spent in putting the castle in repair, and comment was critical

 When the Swedish government learned the purpose to which the cas- tie was to be put, representations were made and William HohenzoIlern changed his plans, with the result that in a few weeks he fled to an other castle in Holland.

PORT OF BRIDGEPORT BILL
 LIKELY TO BE REPORTED
 ADVERSELY BY COMMITTEE

Hartford, March 13-The outlook for a favorable report on the Port of Bridgeport bill is distinctly less favorable today. The strong show ing made by Stratford and the solid opposition of the town has made a deep impression on the minds of some members of the Committee on Cities and BorOughs. Enemies of the pro ject are taking advantage of the fail ure of the friends of the Port to ad- vocate a full referendum, and this failure produced a distinctly hostile result in some quarters.

Hugo's work is praised as having struck "a finer note" than the others. Judging from the reception MT. Hugo received last night. Bridgeporters may see bright future Tor the local composer and wish all the success due him.
 The New York American says of the opera:
 As already minated, the score of The Temple Dancer is in a different class from that of The Legend Or iginaI the music can hardly be called It derives mostly from Wagner and gently refrains from offending the ty1npani of those who shrink from the cacophonies of a later day. Nor does it attempt, save in one or two rather innocudous instances to trans late into tones the exotic atmosphere of the East Indian environment in which the action of the play is placed.
 But Hugo's score has form and substance. and while not always ef- fective in theatrical sense never ycrges upon the banaI or the ridicu- IOus The composer handles his choruscs with skill and his treat ment of the orchestra discIoses a practiced hand ill instrumentation.
 Happily his subject enabled him to do most of his writing, whether in ensembles or in solo numbers, in a lyric vein. In this way he man aged to reduce to a minimum the dia- Iogue and decIamation which always offer g, stumbling block to novices In the field operatic.
 For the voices of the singers Hugo Goes not show the utmost considera- ton. The tessitura of the music al lotted to the Temple Dancer seems inordinately high, and not a little which the Temple Guard is asked to sing lies somewhat low for a tenor voice.
 From spectacular point of view The Temple Dancer left little to be desired, thanks in a measure both to James Fox, who had painted the scenery, and to Rosina Galli, who had arranged the effective Hndoo dance
 Florence Easton sang her exact ing music successfully despite the physical exertions which her imper- sonation of the dancing priestess re- quired. Morgan Kingston, in pants that reminded one of running-track brooches, made a competent guard. Carl SchIegel, as the 4oga, exhib- tied his command of sustained singing g in the few measures allotted to him '' The New York Sun:-
 But with the kindliest feelings pre- vailing-and they evidently were con spicuously present-it cannot truth fully be said that the new works at tained notable distinction, especially The Legend" A finer note was struck in The Temple Dancer" which began in almost an suspicious way. It is, however. interesting to have these annual productions of American creative talent. They serve as stinl- ulating efforts to our composers and

 Another allegation made yesterday in Hartford was that King had made a profit of from s2O,OOO to s25,OO by selling the charter rights of the Bridgeport & Danbury road. The road was incorporated in 1907 and William H. Marigold and Henry E. Reilly were named with King as in corporators. In 1914 King is said to have sold the charter rights to the stockholders of the Danbury & Bethel Street Railway Go. The latter con cern which had hitherto been paying dividends, later went into the hands of a receiver.

 T am an American, not an Irish man. As a. democrat I believe in self government and the independent po- nticaI entity of Ireland I believe the English have no more in common with Ireland, than the Filipinos or the Italians.
 Before the Bridgeport Branch of this organization proceeds further in its purpose I am going to insist that everyone here tonight declare himself an American.
 Recently a number of New York Irish Americans of considerable met ropOlitan political influence met the President of the United States and deliberately attempted to eurbarrass him with Irish demands. One of this committee was a pro-German whose connections with enemy agents were a source of great embarrassment to the administration during the prog ress of the war. The President re- fused to entertain that committee un- til the person of Judge Cohalan was removed The remaining members then presented the President with Q Document and through their spokes- man said, Here is a petition signed by thousands demanding Ireland g freedom. Will you present it at the peace conference?
 MT. Wilson replied and stated that the question could not be raised by him at this time. He did, say, however, that he has been in sym pathy with all movements toward Irish Freedom for the past several years In other words, he went on record as, a Friend of Irish Freedom.

He is asking a number of nations to form q League of Court to which an az grieyed Nation may submit her diff ferences for mediation and that such nation must serve notice of a declara- | ton of war one year previous to the opening of hostilities.
 The Treaty of Peace is to ernbody the Constitution of the League of Ma tions and all subscribing beuigerent Nations must accept membership in | the League along with the Peace ! terms. Does anyone in this hall to- night deny the probability of an In- dependent Ireland if her claims are properly placed before the League ot i Nations Tribunal? Wait until the l League is perfected before entering i your claims. Don't letter your Pres ! 'ident at this time with enbarra ssins

 friend of Irish Freedom.
 Remember, he is to be for some . time to come of great influence in in ! ternational affairs. The Irish ha6 better foster his friendship rather

The Legend which lacked the eIe- ments of suitable dramatic fabric 1 The Temple Dancer had a good dramatic idea. There was genuine l feeling and a deal of originality in ! the music written for the early part l of this one-act piece, even though it i lacked, strangely enough, any hint of
 the original color one would have ex-
 pected the composer to provide. ! There were some comme ndajble, if decidedly too vocally---tr-ying, phrases
 for the soprano in the romanza; and
 some effective moments for orchestra
 in Miss Easton's aIluring dance. But 1 MT. Hugo appeared, to have a, variety 1 of style, and the farther one got into i his opera the more apparent did this ; become. And there was a, most or
 dinary theme just before the close of
 the work, when the Temple Dancer l and the guard lay dead.
 Miss Easton made a most ad1nira l ble temple dancer. She was attrac-

 singing would have been still more
