DENY GERMAN
 CITIZEN PAPERS
Examiner Church Declares 700 Soldiers At Camp
 Devens Refused Papers.

That there were 700 alien soldiers at Camp Devens who refused free cit izenship papers in order to evade overseas service was the statement of United States Examiner Church in the Superior court today when he recom- mended that the five discharged sol diers who had seen service in France be admitted as citizens. Shortly af- terward Examiner Church asked the court to dismiss the petition of Karl Kapke, a. native of Germany, who de- cHned to become a citizen when he was at Camp Devens.
 The examiner said he did not think a man like kapke, who had refused papers when offered to him in camp, should be allowed to come into court and use his honorable discharge from the army as a means of obtaining papers. He declared Kapke should have a, letter from his superior off cers, stating that the applicant is a, suitable man to become a citizen.
 The six service men admitted were: Stanley Lofthouse, Robert M. Thor burn, John J. Casey, Arnold Mastroni, Anthony Tarantino and Henry Lam berg, all of this city. Twelve were given final papers, one case was con tinued and one dismissed.

The NC 9 cruised for a minute northerly in Jamaica Bay, moving at half speed through the water and then turned west for the open ocean. The throttIes were thrown wide open and with a, roar of the 1900 horsepower motor the plane took the air.
 One minute after the NC 1 lifted her load from the water, followed within 50 seconds by the NC 4, and the worTd's first trans oceanic flight was actually in progress.
 After rounding Rockaway point the squadron turned east, heading for Montauk point, which Is the tip of Long Island, where the course will bend northeast to Chatham, Mass, on the elbow of Cape Cod, thence con- tinuing over a, long stretch of coastal waters to Halifax.
 When the planes were fully 8, mile away, the even toned roar of their motors assured officers that they were working perfectly. The escorting scout planes turned back about three miles from Rockaway and the three transatlantic fiers sped away on their great adventure.
 About 1900 persons, including the 1000 officers and men of the naval air station, watched the three great planes rise from the water and soar out over Jamaica Bay.
 The three transatlantic fiers were reported passing beween Fishers

 All the exchanges between the del egation at Versailles and the home government are being kept secret.
 A copy of the treaty is well on its way to Berlin. A German courier left at nine o'clock last night, bringing with it Count von Brockdorff- Rant zau's first report on the negotiations.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-08

Some time ago it was reported from Berlin that the machinery to carry out a. nationwide election had been prepared, and that the people could be called upon to express their desires within 4S hours, in case the government should not care to take the responsibility of meeting the situ- alton now before the country.
 Tho speech of Count von Brock dOrff-R -Rantzau, head of the German delegation to the peace congress, in reply to Premier Clemenceau at Yer sailles yesterday, appeared to Indi- cate that Germany meanwhile would prepare objections to some features of the treaty as presented to her del egates, notably with regard to Ger many's financial responsibilities. All the German objections must be sub mitted In writing. within the two weeks time that her representa- lives have for examination of the treaty.
 After the first sentence of the Counts speech had been delivered in German an interpreter began the French translation. The words did

Paris, May S-CBy The Associated Press) s)-There is no indication that President Wilson Contemplatcs hast ening his return because of the con vocation of Congress on May 19, and he will undoubtedly remain here through the period of 15 days allowed the Germans for consideration of the peace terms, probably until the treaty is signed.
 In case the negotiations are pro- lOnged by suggestions advanced by the Germans, it is possible he may forego the satisfaction of signing the treaty and return home. It Is expect ed that he will send a message to be read in his absence.

 But while the banquet was a decid-' ed success from q, political angle, it was probably more of one from 8 patriotic point of view, and the great est loan rally held in Bridgeport since the government asked the people to loan 1t money, was staged.
 Over a half million dollars worth of bonds were purchased. and if ap- portioued among those present the sales would have aggregated more than s1,OOO bond for each and every individual present.
 . Everyone in the banquet hall did not buy bonds, but those who pur chased them made up for the others. Walter R. Lashar set the ball a-roll ing, opening the sale with a. subscrip- ton of $50 900. He was cheered to the echo when he announced that as a. Democrat he was repeating g'---for Mir Lashar as an invited guest at the Republican banquet last week had

KICKER BUYS 515
 ACRES IN BEDDING
Purchased Well Known Thorpe Farm on Jump
 Hill.

Bedding, May S-By transactions effected within the past few days Paul Kicker, of Bridgeport, has become the owner of a large part of the territory on and below Jump Hill. Described by the names of long ago owners the two farms acquired by him are the Walker Thorpe place and the Merwin Bradley place. The former has 365 and the latter about 15O acres. The Thorpe place is without buildings ex- Cept for the shanty at the crest of the hill occupied by the caretaker. the original house and barns having been burned and never rebuilt.
 About twelve years ago the late Allan W. Paige secured an option on the property from the Thorpe heirs, but allowed it to lapse. At that time the building of the projected dgeport-Danbury trolley line by a layout which crossed the farm was considered a probability.
 Irwin M. Jennings of Bridgeport, then bought the property with the in tention of building a summer resi- deuce on the hill, an intention which has not been carried out, and last week he sold the place to MT. Kicker for a price not known to outsiders although rumor places it at $11, 1000.
 MT. Ricl1er's purchase of the other place, which adjOins the Thorpe farm, was made from Gabriel Finck for a consideration understood to be about $12,000. Included in the deal were three horses, about a dozen COWS and farming implements. MT. Ricker's plans in regard to his newly acquir- ed property are not known. While the former trolley project is hardly likely to be revived the trunk high way across the hill promises about as much for the development of that section as an electric road would have promised.

The coroner said he would not an nounce the name of the person who sent the missive. The contents of the note were announced to State Po- liceman vireln and he went to New York today to work on the clue.
 The coroner also announced that the cause of the woman's death was a criminal operation. He said the authorities had not made the fact public before because 1t was thought if the impression prevailed that it was a case of ordinary murder, relatives or friends of the dead woman would be more likely to help the police than in the event of an illegal operation, which might be regarded as dis grace to the family name.
 It was stated by the coroner that Dr. Bruce Weaver of Stamford per formed an autopsy on the head and another on the lower organs of the body. He declared death resulted from a criminal operation which had been performed by somebody other than the victim. The coroner de- clared the authorities were satisfied that whoever was responsible for the operation was familiar with the in struments used in such cases
 pr. Viewers report stated that the body was brought to the lonely spot in New Canaan very soon after death
