Bridgeport Shivers In
 Grip Of Zero Weather
COLDEST DAY OF YEAR--THERMOMETERD DROPS TO SIX AND EIGHT BELOW---TRAFFTC
 MUCH DELAYED

Blasts of northwest winds today brought the co1dest wave of the year of 1919 with the thermometer in Bridgeport registering between six and eight degrees below zero in vari- OuS parts of the city. The cold weather and unusual traffic today brought about a congestion on the street railway lines, caused numerous small accidents and caused express trains to be late anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour
 The thern ometers of the business section of the city and along the wa ter front registered eight degrees be- low zero at six o'clock today while the temperature in the West End was at six below at seven and eight o'clock. When the usual morning crowds were coming to work at about eight o'clock the thermometer was be- tween zero and two below.
 At noontime the mercury had creaped up to eight above but gave every indication of a falling tempera- ture late in the afternoon and even ing.
 Due to the cold a feed wire of the trolley system of the Connecticut Go. snapped just in front of the police station on Fairfield avenue and caused la delay of a few minutes in the traf- fic schedule.
 At the corner of Main street and Golden Hill street a big jitney bus travelling south on Main tried to hurry across the corner before a safety car turning the corner had seen the machine and it became wedged between the car and the curb. Continued on Page Six)

 Settlement of the contest between Senators Hitchcock, the acting Dem Ocratic leader, and chief spokesman for the administration in the treaty fight, and Senator Underwood, for merIy Democratic leader in the House. is the only business to come before the conference The outcome of the contest was said to be in doubt
 Friends of Senator Underwood in timated today that they might en- GeavOr to postpone a vote until after the holidays, when the full Demo- cratic mem 5ership including Garter Glass as the successor to Senator Martin, is expected to be present The Alabama senator's supporters also were said to desire disposition Of tha treaty before the leadership election so that the question of endorsing Sen ator HitChcock's management of the treaty might not be an issue.
 Some Senators said the leadership contest might have considerable bearing on the immediate outcome of the treaty controversy. Senators Hitchcock and Underwood have diff fered regarding future procedure, the former oppos ng and the latter agree ing to accept as last alternative the plan of Senator Knox. Republican, Pennsylvania, to ratify the treaty ex- cept the League of Nations covenant, which would be left for future con sidera ton.

Thousands Inconvenienced By Action In Jitney
 Fight.

Salem, Mass, Dec. 18-Suspension of virtually all trolley service or the Salem Division of the Eastern Mas sachusetts Street Railway Company today forced thousands of residents of this city, Beverly and Peabody to walk to work in below zero wealth CT or to ride in crowded, unheated motor buses.
 The tie up was in accordance with the decision of the Public Trustees of the railway to remove the cars un- less the cities revoked all iitney H- censes. Special meetings of the city governments last night failed to or der the buses to discontinue business in competition with the trolleys, and as result the railway officials refus- ed to start the cars today. except on a few lines where there has been no competttion.

IRISH JOURNAL OWNERS SEEKING
 AN INJUNCTION
Results of Papers Attacks on Irish Adrninistra-
 tion.

Dublin, Dec 1S - Owners of the F>reemen's Journal, seized and sup pressed by the military police on Monday, applied to the Chancers court yesterday for an interlocutoTJ injunction to restrain the authorities from continuing to suppress the newspaper. This application will be the subject of a hearing on Friday.
 London, Dec. 1S.---The real reason why the Freeme ems Journal was SUD- pressed Is given In a Dublin dispatch 10 the Herald, the organ of organized labor The dispatch says that the raid upon the plant was not made be- cal1se of the newspapers alleged in- +erference with the recruiting of spe- cial constables, as WAS stated in par iIa noent. but was a result of the news I,aner's attacks upon Irish admin:stra- ton.
 It is asserted that the journal a1- 1eped certain known criminals were allowed immunity from prosecution because the government was employ ing them. The correspondent says II is firmly believed that Detectives Downing and Barton, who were slain in Dublin recently, were shot, not by Sinn Feiners, but criminals ''of the vi1est type, whose identity is known to the government, but who are Jeff untouched because the Castle wishes tbe murders to be attributed to the Sim Fein." This charge, he says, is ~.snot made without evidence, adding: .Men of sober judgment accused inc Castle camarilla with with pre- nartng a foul political crime similar 10 that committed in 179S."
