 Time

New York, Nov. 25-More than
 three score radicals awaiting depor-

 being investigated by the House Im-

 two strikes within A hours.
 After having issued an ultimatum
 yesterday from room 203. where they

 they declined to march into the din- ing hall for breakfast this morning The menu which the hunger strikers
 turned down consisted of prunes, oat-
 meal, bread with a substitute for but ter and coffee. While a congressional committee Investigating the department of labor was attending the hearings yesterday sudden adjournment was taken when one of the keepers, sent to bring a prisoner from the enclosure, returned with the statement that the man would not answer his name, and no one could identify him. The attorney representing the defendants was ap- pealed to, but said he could be of nc aid as he did not know his clients ''by their faces.'

Washington, Nov. 25-The cabinet reached no decision on the Mexican situation, accord ing to Secretary Lansing, who presided at the regular weekly meeting today.
 Washington, Nov. 25-Secretary Lansing went into the cabinet, meet ing today without a reply to the An?eriean note demanding the inn mediate release of William O.

 Mexico's failure to make a prompt reply apparently has created an un- favorable impression in official cir cles, and the cabinet was expected to again discuss the whole Mexican sit uation.

Ill 3 Days H. R. ParL O.t
 Victim Of Pneumonia
HEAD OF PARROTT VARNISH WORKS AND MEM BIER OF OLD BRIDGEPORT FAMILY
 AGED 90 YEARS

Henry R. Parrott, descendant of the most prominent statesmen of the Revolutionary War, organizer of the Bridgeport Republican club and one of the most active men in social, po- litica1 and business affairs of Bridge port, passed away at o'clock this morning at his residence, 33s Golden Hill street. He was i'll but five days with pneumonia.
 Born in Bridgeport on January 4, 1923, MT. Parrott was a descendant of Captain Joseph Riggs. sr., an uncle of General David Humphres, aide de-camp and private secretary of Washington, and minister to Spain and Portugal after the Revolutionary War, and of Governor Wells. His boyhood was spent in Bridgeport and at the age of IS he entered the ern- ploy of Oviatt & Orcutt as clerk in their drygoods store, continuing there until the firm was dissolved. After a few other minor positions, he was sent to Washington in 1854 as the local agent for the Adams Express Company.
 When his father incorporated the Parrott Varnish company, he resigned his position in Washington and be- came general manager of his fathers concern, and in 1891 he succeeded his father as president, which position he held until his death.
 In politics he has taken an active and important part. He cast his vote for president for General Winfield Scott in 1856, voted for John L. Ere mont four years later, and for every Republican candidate for president since then. In 1860 he was elected chairman of the Republican town committee and he continued in this important position during the Civil war and was a member at the time of his demise.
 During the state campaign in 1860, MT. Parrott induced Abraham Lin coin to come to Bridgeport to make one of his characteristic campaign speeches. He was a state candidate

Paris, Nov. 25.---Rumania is to be given another chance to sign the Austrian peace treaty, a limited pe- riod being named within which she may attach her signature. Permission to sign is also to be given Serbia.

Geneva, Monday, Nov. 24-Tele- grams received by the Serbian burea u at Berne from Belgrade, zara and Spalato convey the impression that only prompt interference by the all lies can prevent war over the Adria- tic. situation, the Jugo Slavs are said to have lost patience and to be ready. to fight the Italians.

 Another newspaper accuses Italy of desiring to blockade Jugo Slavia's ex- ports and imports, and thus "stran- gle her" A third repeats recent re- ports that a reign of terror prevails in Zara, that everybody must wear a brassard inscribed "Ita1y or death,' or be badly treated, and that Slavs are afraid to leave their houses.
 Paris, Nov. 24.---Dispatches con- firming reports from Geneva that the situation along the eastern shore of the Adriatic is critical are issued by the Jugo Slav bureau here. The bu- reau says the Jugo Slav government has asked it's ministers at Paris, Lon don and Washington to draw the at tention of those government to the dangerous situation arising from DAnnunzio's raids and those he is reported about to make.

May Defer Paying Interest
 On American Loans To Allies
OFFICIALS SAY AMERICAN GOVERNMENT NOT
 SEEKING THIS PLAN

Washington, Nov. 25-Interest p&yments on American loans to the allies may, be deferred ''untn the war reaction pe sses," it was said today at the treasury. Negotiations to this end are now being conducted at the request of the allies, but officials ex- pIained that the latest advices from the treasury's representatives at Paris did not indicate an early con clusion.
 Americas loans to it's associates in the war aggregated $9,647, ,000, 900 and the interest rate average five per cent All the obligations are in the form of short term notes, but the allies have proposed that they be converted into long term paper, which would fall due on dates cor responding to those on which Ameri- ca liberty loans mature.
 Officials said the American gov ernment was not seeking the new ar- engagement They explained, how ever, that they felt that "the present chaotic condition in Europe" might be bettered if the interest payments were funded. Tentative plans would make these payments from three to five years which, it is stated, would allow European conditions to read just themselves and place the foreign governments reconstruction programs well under way"
 Albert Rathbone, assistant secretary of the treasury, is representing the United States in the negotiations at Paris Treasury officials saiG the only instruction given him was that in reaching an agreement the 'in- terest of the whole worlds financial structure would be given thorough consideration.
 London, Nov 25-A plan is under discussion by the British and Amer ican governments under which the payment of interest on advances by Great Britain and the United States to the allies in the course of war, and also on advances by the United States to Great Britain would be post poned for three years, f. was an nounced in the House Of Commons today by Austen Chamberlain, the chancellor Of the exchequer.

for senator during the Blaine-CIeve- land campaigns and his activities at this time in the political world were at their height. In 1887 he organ ized the Bridgeport Republican club and was elected it's president.
 He was one of the first police com missioners appointed under the char ter of the city and therefore was the organizer of the Bridgeport police force. His activities in the Bridge port Board of Trade, as a member of the Common Council and of the Board of Aldermen and various other political capacities, some 25 or 30 years ago, made him the outstanding figure in the city of Bridgeport
 No man now living in Bridgeport had taken more active part in the political, business and social affairs of the city. During the Civil War, MT. Parrott was member of the Bridge port Battery, a local organization of volunteers, who in addition to other duties assisted greatly in ferwaax.sss.iiIi.s ! ! supplies to the troops in the field.
 His advice and counsel in busin ess and public affairs have been freely sought and generously given all through his long and extremely useful life. For nearly sixty years he has stood among the foremost citizens at an times ana unuer all sorts or condl- tions always doing his utmost for the welfare and advancement of his nas tive place.
 Not only as a public servant hin- self has he served the city and given his time and ability to the public good, but he has been active in in- fuencing the selection of proper men and in securing some of the very best men for city officers.
 MT. Parrott married on October IT, 1854, Annie Jane Garland of Boston, who died in 1895. His second mar riage took place in 1903 when he welded Helen Reinders of New York city, who survives him now. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. John Whitney of California.
 No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral.

 THREATENING TO QUIT CONFERENCE
Hostile Attitude Halts Dis cussion of WOrkmen's
 Proposals.

Washington, Nov. 25-Labor dele gates to the international labor con ference threatened to withdraw today Eff their proposals continued to be met by a hostile attitude" The threat was uttered by Conrad Ilg, of the Swiss delegation, during discussion of the proposed eight hour day conven- ton when Chairman Mules Cartier of the Belgian delegation Suled out con- sideration of wage guS>antees pro- posed by Gino Baldesi, Italian labor delegate.
 ''If by hostile attitude" I1g de- clared, discussion of proposals of the workmen will leave the confer ence.
 An immediate rupture was prevent ed when a compromise plan offered by Leon Jouhaux, French labor dele gate, was accepted.
 Baldesi sought to have the propos- ed international convention providing for an eight hour day so framed as to guarantee that wages. would not be decreased because of a decrease in hours. He anticipated trouble in this regard, he said, in countries where labor was not strongly or ganiZed.
 The eight hour day proposal was approved and was sent to the draft ing committee. Baldesi mediateIy renewed his efforts to secure action on his amendment and was supported by Jourhaux.
 Adoption of the eight hour proposal was marked by heated arguments but it went through without further amendment. An effort by MT. Ilg to provide that workers should be paid for holidays was defeated.
