London, Nov. 11.-(By The Aszo- Ciated Press) The gorgeous uni forms of the dtsnifed English ser wants who are always in attendance at all official receptions have been the rocks upon which the pride of more than one foreigner has been wrecked. The initiated is never sure as he approaches one of these i'm passive faced fuactionaries whether the latter is a field marshal, or a footman. Witness the discontinue of his highness, Prince Feisal, son of the King of the Eedjaz, at the grea re- ception in the GuiIdhau to England's returning hero, Field Marshal Wis count Allenby.
 The Arabian Prince clad in his of fcial robes of Oriental design, was one of the many famous men at the Guildha1l. Always punctiIious in the extreme, his highuess made his way into the ancient hall, lowing to right and left as he met great soldiers and statesmen of the country. He neared one who, wearing wonderful raiment adorned with yards of heavy gold lace, appeared to be greater than them all. The prince bowed deeply to the Lord Mayors flunkey.

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

The attempt of George W. Mitchell of 1O26 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 Co. 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 $1,0OO. Judge Curtis usaid Mitchell might have a right to procure a deed to the lot by tender ing to the Meagher Go. the 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.

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 S5 city streets. While it has not been definitely settled that this matter will come before he board tonight it is highly probable, as it is certain that the recommendation of the finance advisory board for the issuing of bonds to the extent of s1,720,O00 will be brought up and acted upon. This contains the boards approval of s6OO,OOO in pavement bonds, which is another matter likely to meet some opposition as is the amount for a 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 At Saturdays meeting tha senAtog'z q

KOREA WANTS LIBERATION
 FROM JAPAN
Submits Petition To Peace Conference To This
 Effect.

Paris, May PA petition from the liberation from Japan was submitted to the Peace Conference today by representatives of Korea. The peti- ton also asks for recognition of Korea as an independent state and for the notification of the treaty Of August, 1910.
 Washington, May 12-Recognition by the peace conference of Korea $ claim to independence was urged by Dr. Syngham Rhe, secretary of state of the provisional Korean govern ment, in a message sent to President Wilson and Premier Clenenceau, asking that the Council of Four grant an audience to the provisional governments representative in Paris
 Ut is the unanimous and passion ate desire of the Korean people to have a free and absolute independent government. of their own choice, as it is their belief that without such a government they cannot develop into free Christian democracy" the message said.
 "The Korean people have so1ennly sworn to resist all existing authorities in Korea other than those of their own provisional government.
 "The only way Korean people can be compelled to submit to the illegal, immoral and self-appointed authort- ties is by using brutal force. regret to state to, you that brutal force now is promiscuously used to suppress the independence movement of the Kor- can people.
 '"The provisional government hopes your honorable body will use it's good offices to persuade this offending member to desist from practicing such inhuman tactics for the purpose of retaining her ill-gotten territory. It is a reflection on your league of nations, and it is certainly a blot on modern civilization"
 A treaty signedaon August 23. 1910, by Japan and Korea formally annexed the Korean territory to the empire ot Japan. The Korean imperial gov ernment was overthrown in 1905. The treaty of 1910 deprived the Korean emperor of all political powers, changed the name of the country to Chosen" and established the office of the Japanese governor general. From the date of the treaty Korea be- came an integral part of the Japan csc empire.

 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 487 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 year.
 The real names of the three broth. CTS are Charles F. 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 1925.

GLASS REPLIES
 SHARPLY TO PEEK
Says Reference to Secre- tary Perverts Actual
 Truth.

Washington, May 12-Charges made yesterday by George N. Peck, chairman of the recently dissolved industrial board, that Secretary Glass had taken a stand on the boards eff forts to agree on prices for necessities ''in direct contradiction with his message to the President urging crea- ton of the board" have drawn a sharp reply from the secretary.
 In a statement published today, MT. Glass said the board in attempt ing to "fx minimum prices for the public, did precisely that which it had been warned not to do.'' and that the action had been promptly repu> diated by him as contrary to fun damentaI principles of economics, of public policy and of the law
 ''AIr- Peek knows perfectly well, :" said MT. Glass that I have never in any way or at any time suggested such action as that taken by the in dustriaI board. Hence his reference to me on this point perverts the actual truth"
 MT. Peek, in his statement yester- day, reviewed the efforts of the board to agree on prices, referred at length to the controversy with Director General Hines over steel prices which ended with the resignation of the board and declared that the public would demand an explanation of the wrecking, s'apparently in obstinacy of a single individual of a plan of such apparent national vaIns-

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:O5 p. m.) 1.-The Council of Four at its meeting today decided 10 refer the German notes on labor and war prisoners to experts for consideration, instead of an bwering them at once as if did with the first two c0Tnmunica- lions from the German delega- ton.
 . The first of these notes asked that 6 reciprocal policy he adopted as to the repatriation of prisoners and re- uuested that the details of the trans fer be placed in the hands of a com mission. In his second note the head of the German peace delegation ad- vauced a counter project as to inter national labor legislation.
 According to the newspapers the bases for the second note is a labor charter inspired by the conferences a Leeds and Berue. and they argue that the purpose is to create among Socialists an opinion favorable to Germany by putting in direct collab- oration the working classes and the present government of that country.
