ATTACK ON WILSON
MAKES FORD QUIT
REPUBLICAN CLUB
JaStite Resigns in Indignation Over
Besk'S Indecent Per-
fOrmlnce."

supreme Court Justice John Ford
has resigned from the Republican
Club because that organization did
not publicly disavow the attack made
at the annual dinner OF the club on
President Wilson by James NJ. Beck.
In his letter Justice Ford refers 20
Mr.. Beck as this man Beck" and
says:
Il had hoped that some public de-
avowal OF responsibility for this
treachcrous effort to hamString our
President would be forthcoming from
some representative OF the club. From
the fact that no reputation has ap-
pcared, no less than from the rap
turous and pru'racted applause which
greeted BeCk's Vilest utteranccs, | am
forced TO conclude that the dominant
sentiment OF the club is' in accord
with him and approves his indecent
performance"
Justice ForG's letter was addressed
10 Robert w. Bonyngc, President Of
the club, and contained n great deal
OF praise Of President Wilson.

Negotiations Now Pending to Effect Settlement of
 Question.

Paris, May 16-Negotiations pend- ing for the adjustment of the Adria- tic controversy contemplate a, direct settlement between Italy and Jugo Slavia through American mediation. By this plan the Austrian treaty would not specify the disposition to be made of Dalmatia, Istria or Plume, beyond detaching them from Aus tria.
 It is quite probable that the Turk ish and Bulgarian peace treaties will be negotiated and signed in Constan- tinopIe, Salonika or some other con- venient city in the Near East, accord ing to Reuters Paris office.

SAYS J. I. KING NEED NOT PAY
Republican Boss Under No Obligation to Pay For
 Trolley Stock, Is Claim.

That Republican Boss John T. King was under no legal obligation to pay stock subscriptions of s2o0ooo to Re- ceiver J. Moss Ives of the Danbury & Bethel Street Railway Co. was the contention of City Attorney William H. Comley, Jr., who appearedi before Judge C1rtis in the Superior court this morning.
 Kings counsel said his client sub scribed to Bridgeport & Danbury stock and although this concern was subsequently, absorbed by the Dan- bury & Bethel this did not give the receiver of the latter company au- thority to sue King on these stock subscriptions. It was claimed that King did not promise to pay for the stock until called upon by directors of the Bridgeport & Danbury road Attorney Comley stated that it did not appear in the complaint that the Danbury & Bethel had ever paid a dollar for the claim against King.
 Attorneys DeF'orest & Klein, coun- sel for Receiver Ives, said the Repuo- lican leader had subscribed for the stock and ought to be made to pay for 1t. The court reserved decision.
