SPANISH PAPER
 APPROVES PACT
German Leader Decides Germany Must Say
 "No."

Madrid. May 16-( -(Havas) )-AppTo- val of the peace terms presented Ger many is voiced by the Diario Univer- sal, the organ of former Premier Romanones, the Spanish liberal lead CT. The paper declares that it would be unjust to accuse the Allied and A Associated Powers of imperialism after the ravages suffered by France and Italy.
 Paris. May 16.-Eduard Bernstein, the German Social-Democrat leader, in an article in Vorwa erts of Berlin, transmitted here, says that the peace terms show evidence of compromises on several points and that sense of moderation is evident. He points out that many of the demands on iGermany are only temporary in char acter. but declares that ameliora tion of some of the terms ought to be ob- tained through oral discussion Herr Bernstein reaches the conclusion that Germany must say "No'' to the actual conditions but ''this must not leave the road open for the Allies

Marigold After
 Commission For
 Selling Land Here

William H. Moffatt, who gained mo- torfsty in New York newspapers by his land developing schemes on Long Island, was mentioned this morning in the Superior Court during a hear ing on a suit brought by former Post master William H. Marigold agains. Henry B. Seeley of this city. At. torney John c. Chamberlain, counsel for Seeiey. claimed his client had been associated with Moffatt in de- veloping a tract on Sylvan avenue. this city, and said the New Yorker had failed to account for about s1,- 900.
 Attorney Chamberlain opposed the claim of Marigold, who Is suing See ley for s4. 900 commissions for selling lots on Sylvan avenue. Marigold said sales of lots aggregating $s0, 900, were made by him and he Is entitled to commissions. Marigold's com- plaint had previously been held de- fective and he requested permission to file a substituted complaint. Judge Curtis reserved decision.

|U. s. MEDIATION FOR ADRIATlC
 CONTROVERSY
Negotiations Now Pending to Effect Settlement of
 Question.

Paris, May 16-Negotiations pend' ing for the adjustment of the Adria- tic controversy contemplate @ 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 Dalmatfa, 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- tinople, Salonika or some other con- venient city in the Near East, accord ing to Reuters Paris office.
 The Council of Foreign Ministers continued work today on subsidiary details of the Austrian treaty having to do with the new Austrian fron- tiers. It is considered unlikely that the treaty will be ready for presenta- ton to the Austrian plenipotentiaries before Wednesday of next week

SAYS }. 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 s2O0, 600 to Re- ceiver J. Moss Ives of the tDanbury & Bethel Street Railway Co. was the contention of City Attorney William H. Comley, Jr.. who appeared, before Judge Curtis in the Superior court this morning.
 Kings counsel said his client sub scrtbed to Bridgeport & Dan.bury 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 Connley stated that it did not appear in the complaint that the Danbury & Bethel had ever paid g dollar for the claim against King. Attorneys DeForest & Klein, coun- sel for Receiver Ives. said the Repub- lican leader had subscribed for the stock and ought to be made to pay for 1t. The court reserved decision.

SPECIAL APPEAL MADE TO WILSON
 FOR IRELAND

Paris, May 16.---(Corresponden of The Associated Press)---A special appeal in behalf of Ireland was made OCeaIIaigh. the Sim Fein .'repre- sentative of the Provisional govern ment of the Irish republic" when the Irish delegate laid the Irish memo rial before the Peace Conference. The appeal was contained in Q letter to President Wilson asking him to urge the Peace Conference to invite the Irish National representatives to be present at it's deliberations MT. O'CeaHaigh also urged President Will son to support the claim to freedom which the Irish representatives wish to lay before the Conference.
 Referring to the memorial in which he had recited the claims of the Irish republic to right to join the League of Nations an inde- pendent state, Mr. OCeaIlaigh wrote to the President:
 '"To what has been said in that memorial, urging the justice of let ting Ireland's claim to freedom be heard before a political status hateful to her is stamped with the approval and enforced by the power of the free nations of the world. may I not add that the people of Irelant6 look hopefully to you in a special degree for coun*enance and support notably because you are the honored Presi- 6ent of that republic which counts among it's most loyal and devoted citizens the greater part of the Irish race and because they recognize in you the clearest exponent of the prin- ciples of freedom the world has seen since the days of Washington
 Tn their latest exercise, last De- ceIuber, of the inherent right of self determination the Irish people, at this world crisis, have been profound ly influenced and inspired by the words you have spoken, the principles you have expounded, the rules of in ternattonal conduct you have promul- gated and have brought the nations to acknowledge. In these utterances they have found a source of great en- couragement and brightest hope. In particular they affirm, as applying specially to the case of Ireland, the following passage in your speech of September 27, 1918, in New York:
 '' The issues are these: Shall tho military power of any nation or group of nations be suffered to determine the fortunes of peoples over whom they have no right to rule except by right of force? Shall strong nations be free to wrong weak nations and make them subject to their purposes and inteTE.st? Shall peoples be ruled and dominated even in their own in ternal affairs by arbitrary and ire sponaible force or by their own will and choice? Shall there be a com mon stanfia-d of right and privilege for all peoples and nations, or shall there be a common concert to oblige the ObSerrance of common rights 'tIn the clear light of these great words the Irish people. filled with hope, asl, your mighty influence to prevent the exception of Ireland from the principles of freedom and justice to which you are rallytng the SUD- port of the world. to urge upon the conference the duty of inviting the Irish National representatives to be present at It's deliberations, and sup port the claim to freedom which they are waiting to place before the tribu- nal of the- nat1ons''

The coroner thought this was the more probable story.

TYSON DREW TWO SALARIES
 AND CAMpLED THERA AWAY

Charged with embezzlement of about s4.50o from the Remington Arms O., John D. Pysen, age 22. of 221 Spring street, a timekeeper of the Remington Company, appeared before the city court this morning.
 Pysen is alleged to have failed to remove the name of a former guard of the company from the payroll and to have forged the mans name each payday when he would receive the ex- guards pay envelope. This practice is alleged to have existed for the past Is months during which time Pysen has been drawing two mems pay.
 The discovery was ma de last week by auditors of the company who noticed that there was one more name on the guards payroll than Robert M Davies. foreman of guards. accounted for in his report. A watch was established at the pay window, yesterday, when the watchmen were receiving their money and Pysen was detected when receiving the money of the former employe.
 Pysen was taken to police head quarters where he acknowledged the ernbezzlernent and said that only S5C remained of the amount alleged to have been fraudulently obtained He further stated that since receiving both salaries he has gambled con siderably and that most of the money was lost at the Walters Club. 119- Main street, and the Center Cigar store on Elm street, which place: were raided last night by the police It has been known for some time tha these places were unlawfufly operat ing gambling games.
 The case against Pysen was con tirued to May 20 and the accused wal placed under bonds of 5000.
