TWO ARRESTS MADE
 IN MILFORD MYSTERY
New York and Connecticut Authorities Trying to Solve
 Bank Messengers Death.

Milford, Sept. 11.-State, local and New York city officers directed by Assistant States Attorney Walter Pickett combed Walnut Beach and other places along the Milford shore yesterday endeavoring to find some one who knew Benjamin Binkowitz the murdered messenger when he lived in Bridgeport. Recently the police broke up an alleged automobile stealing gang at Walnut Beach and it was thought possible Binkowitz had frequented a meeting place of these men who had confederates in New York
 The officers also called upon brokers in bonds in Bridgeport, where a thriving trade has been done since factory employees have been market ing their securities in the period of unemployment. It was thought some Of the bonds stolen from Whitney & Go. and which Binkowitz was carry ing when he disappeared might have been handled hereabouts.
 Two men were brought to the hock- up this noon by state officers. They are kept in cells. Assistant State S Attorney Pickett declined to give out information. One man is about 40 years old and apparently an Italian and the other younger, and possibly ot Hebrew birth. The detentions were made as the outcome of a second visit to Walnut Beach today.

z. s. MUST SlGN TREATY TO FULFILL IFS PLEDGE MADE
 TO WORLD, PRESIDENTS
Tells Montana Crowd Tt is This Treaty Or No Treaty, Because There Can Be No Other."

Billings, Mont, Sept 11.-Laying his appeal for the peace treaty before the people of Montana today Presi- dent Wilson declared the question of it's ratification was a question whether the United States would fulfill it's pledge to it's people and the world.
 There were two addresses on his days program, MT. Wilson speaking at the Billings auditorium before noon so that he could arrive in Helena in time for a meeting at night He reached there from Bismarck N. D., only short time before the hour for his address.
 Is Consulting With People.
 MT, Wilson said he had come west Ito consult" with the people in the light of circumstances which affected the world. Everywhere, he declared, the human heart beats the same on both sides of the ocean and there was a sincale e desire tEat there should be no more war.
 It was a mistake, therefore, he de- clared, to debate the peace treaty as if it were an ordinary treaty. It was not merely ;t treaty with Germany, he said, but a treaty effecting a settle ment of the affairs of the world
 This Treaty or None.
 And it is this treaty or no treaty. he added, ''it is this treaty because there can be no other
 This settlement is the first inter- national settlement that is based upon he happiness of the average people throughout the world It is a peoples s treaty, and I venture the prediction that is not wise for parliaments and congresses to attempt to alter it.'
 It is a severe treaty, the president went on, but justly so. Some of the man who had called 1t unduly harsh he added, were criticizing the admin lStratiOn year ago because they thought the United States would be too easy with Gerneny.
 "They were pitiless then," he said they are pitiful now"
 Wanted to Fight Himself. The merican dead in the war. Mr. Wilson declared, had fought not for the redemption of America, but for the redemption of the world. It was one of the hardest of his trials during war, he said, to be able merely to di- rect the policies of the nation and not "to take a gun and go myself" (Continued on Seventh Page)

Ohio Republican Tells Senate He Will Vote For Amend ments As Proposed By Foreign Relations Com- mittee.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Declaring his intention to vote for amendments to the peace treaty, Senator Harding, republican of Ohio, told the senate today that every day of discussion, every hour of study combined to per suade him that the league of nations venture, in the form in which the covenant has been negotiated "is one of peril to the republic"
 To accept it unaltered, he argued. would be a betrayal of America.
 Il can never vote to ratify without safeguards,' said the senator, land I mean to vote for the amendments pro- posed by the committed
 If the president is correct in de- claring the proposed reservations will send the treaty back, then amend ments will not unduly delay If the world Is to start all over again, it ought to start with the square deal. The treaty has not written it, the square deal was reserved for informal promises"
 Pointing out that this country had sought no territory the senate said if Europe will barter in territories and people we cannot hinder ''but we need not approve and surely we need not guarantee.'
 Tt is my deliberate conviction" he said, that the league of nations cove nant as negotiated at Paris either ere ateS a Super-government of the na- tlons which enter it, or it will prove the colossal disappointment of the ages'~

NZDDLETOWN GIRL IRA VELS 5000 MILES TO WED LOCAL
 OFFICER WOW M FRANCE
Miss Frances Lyons, 'Par' Of McKirdy At College, Becomes His "Pal' For Life.

Captain Howard Mckirdy, heavy Mckirdy. of 1112 Stanley street, was married in France September 8 to Miss Frances w. Lyons, of Middle town, chum of his Wesleyan college days and who sailed for France less than three weeks ago to become his bride, according to a cablegram re- celVed by the parents of the local army officer. The ceremony was per- formed in the supply camp at GieVes France, and while details of the mar r1age are not contained in the missat there is reason to believe that it was a military eremony performed by an army chaplain.
 The marriage brings out in a way the truth of the oil maxim, "The best way to mans heart is through his stomach While d student at Wes- 1eyan, the mother of his bride became connected with the college in the ca pa>city of cafeteria directress and the excellence of her service made her a favorite at once with the students in cluding McKirdy. Mrs. Lyons daugh- ters, one of them being Frances, was introduced to the men who made use of the cafeteria and McKirdy devel- oped a strong liking for her. It was said, however that the friendship of the local man to Miss Lyons was more that of chums than of sweet hearts and continued to exist as such after lie left Wesleyan and enrolled in the Boston Tech Civil Engineering school. During his period of over seas service he communicated with Miss Lyons and some time ago in formed his mother by letter that he had written her to come to France and be his bride.
 Sailed on August 21.
 Since Captain McKirdy went to France Miss Lyons mother passed away and her sister, the only other member of her family was married Some time ago the sister and her hus- band went to China to teach the chil- dren of American m!ssioners in the Orient, and Frances was left alone The friendship between Frances and McKirdy's parents grew strong, and she was frequent visitor at their home on North Stanley street. She came here about a month ago tC spend few days prior to sailing fo1 France and on August 21 sailed from the New York port.
