KITCHEN CANNOT FACE ON STREET
Owners of Fairfield Avenue Estates Win Legal Victory
 Over G. w. Mitchell.

The attempt of George W. ell of 1928 East Main street to build a house with kitchen facing the street on the Fairfield Avenue Estates, in Fairfield, met with a setback today when Judge Curtis of the superior court refused to dissolve a temporary injunction which the Mark C.. Meagher & Co.,, owners of the Estates, had obtained last week.
 The Meagher Go. claimed it would be detrimental to the property. which is being developed as a high lass residential section. if Mitchell built his house as ,he intended. Mitchell denied he had violated any of the re- strictive clauses in the agreement submitted to him when he offered to buy the lot for 31,0O0. Judge Curtis said Mitchell might have right to procure a deed to the lot by tender ing to the Measher Co. tho amount agreed upon as the purchase price. The ground for refusing to dissolve the injunction was that no deed had been delivered to Mitchell nor had he received any permission to start building.

Will Not Answer Them At Once As It Did First Two
 Communications. DEALT WITH
 LABOR QUESTION Also Wanted Reciprocal Policy AS to Repatriating
 Prisoners.

Paris, May 12-(4:05 p. m.) The Council of Four at its meeting today decided to refer the German notes on labor and war prisoners to experts for consideration, instead of an- swering them at once as it did with the first two cOmmunica- tiOns from the German deiega- ton.
 The first of these notes asked that a reciprocal policy be adopted as to the repatriation of prisoners and re- quested that the details of the rans- fer be placed in the hands of a. com mission. In his second note the head of the German peace delegation ad- vanced a counter project as to inter national labor legislation.
 According to the newspapers the bases for the second note Is labor charter inspired by the conferences st Leeds and Berne. and they argue that the purpose is to create among Socialists an opinion favorable to Germany hy putting in direct collab- cration the working classes and the present government of that country.

 In a statement published today. Mir.

Democratic Aldermen Will
 Oppose New Warrenite Grab

Considerable opposition is likely to develop in the Common Council to- night, if the aldermen are asked to authorize the mayor to enter into a contract with Warren Brothers for the Warreniting of approximately 30 city streets. While it has not been definitely settled that this matter will come before he board tonight it is highly probable, 1t is certain that the recommendations of the finance advisory board for the issuing of bonds to the extent of $1,720,OO0 will be brought up and acted upon. This contains the boards approval of $600,00O in pavement bonds, which is another matter likely to meet some opposition as is the amount for municipal garage.
 Senator George B. Clarke's argu- ment at the meeting of the finance board on Saturday, that paving should be done on competitive bids, rather than hand the work over to Warren Brothers at an exorbitant price. may prove a bone of contention in the hands of Democratic aldermen.

CLAIM GERMAN
 DISCARDED NAME
Three Belgian Brothers Ask Superior Court to Let
 Them Drop Cognomen.

Annoyed because their name Is the same as that borne by Major Carl de San of the German army. whose bru- tai conduct in Belgium made him hated by the natives, three brothers named de San. who conduct a whole sale silk business in New York, filed petitions in the Superior court today asking that they be allowed to call themselves de Moerkerke. They all live in Greenwich.
 The brothers were born in Belgium and still conduct a silk business there but their principal business is located at 4S7 Broadway, New York, where they are known as Merckens Bros. The petitioners also say they have been embarrassed because a man named August Merckens gained some notoriety when he was in charge of Stoliwerck Bros. factory at Stam- ford seized by the alien property custodian last wear.
 The real names of the three broth CTS are Charles B. DeSan, Gustave M. De San and William M. De San. They claim to be able to trace their family back to Collard de Moerkerke, who founded the Belgian town of Moerk- erke in 1226.

Meanwhile the German delegation at Versailles are attempting to draw the representatives of the Allied and Associated Governments into oral dis cussions of phases of the peace treaty presented to the Germans last We'd nesday.
 French opinion, as reflected in the newspapers, regards one of the notes sent. to Premier Clemenceau as pres ident of the peace conference by Count von Brockdorff Rantzau. head of the German mission. as distinctly of a propagandist order. This is the note advancing a counter project as to international labor legislation, which the French argue is intended to convince, the Socialists and the la boring classes of the Allied countries in general that the present German government Is working in their favor.
