The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-31

The alleged murderer was appre- hended at the Carnival grounds. Wheeler lot, Boston avenue, and ap- peared in the city court this morning when he was turned over to the New Jersey authorities.
 Papinean has confessed to the kill ing of the Chihaman. He says that the assault was committed only for the purpose of robbery and that there was no intention of killing the vic- tim.
 According to the Newark police. Papinean with three other persons, one of the four a woman, appeared before the Chinese laundry about 6 a. m. last Tuesday morning. He and another of the accomplices entered the Chinaman's place carrying a flake" bundle of laundry while the woman and other man remained out side the laundry as watchers.
 When the Chinaman was assaulted he was only partly dressed and was in the act of preparing his breakfast. Both of his assailants attacked him with pieces of lead pipe and mashed his head into a pulp. In their~search for supposed large sum of money the murderers removed most of the Chinaman's clothing.
 The murdered Celestial was not the intended victim and did not possess the money sought. About a week ago the former owner of the laundry secured passports to return to China and was known to possess a large sum of money which he kept in his place of business. A day before the murder the wealthy Chinaman sold out to a New York Chinaman and departed. The new tenant was mis- taken for the former owner and pos sessor of much cash.
 Before leaving the scene of their crime the murderers provided them selves with several large bundles of clean laundry. Rapinean's brother heard of the circumstances and mur- der and. finding considerable clean laundry in his brothers room, sus- pected Raymond of the crime and at- tempted to burn the evidence. The police discovered the partly burned laundry and arrested the Newark brother who gave information where by the Bridgeport arrest was made.
 A young school girl found the body of the murdered Chinaman at 8:30 o'clock. Tuesday morning. The police were immediately notified. Two of the murderers have been apprehend- ed but the Newark police are still on the hunt for the man and woman who acted as watchers outside the laundry while the crime was commit ted.

POLES DEFEAT
UKRA|N|ANS ON
WHOLE FRONT
Taken by Surprise, Ukrainians
Give Way at All
Points.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, July 2.-The Polish forces on
Saturday started a counter offensive
along the whole Galician- oInyn1an
front, according to advices from War
saw. The Poles claim that they have
everywhere broken the Ukrainian re-
sistance and that the Lemberg- Halziz-
Stanislau railway line is again in Pol
ish hands.
TIE enemy suffered severe casual
ties, 5000 prisoners, 80 machine guns
and huge stores being captured.
1t seems that the Ukrainians were
taken by surprise and gave way at
all points. The Poles occupied Brody,
Pluchow, Pomorzeny, and Brzezany,
taking 1000 additional prisoners and
much booty.
The Lemberg message says that
the Poles have pierced the Ukrain-
ian front at several points. Crowds
of Ukrainian prisoners are arriving
at Lemberg, and the populations of
tn eevucuated regions are returning.
Bolsheviki forces began attacks on
the Polish front Sunday but were
everywhere repulsed.

HINES TO TAKE
R. R. PROBLEMS
TO PRESIDENT
Proposed Increase in Freight
Rates the Most Important
Topic.

Washington, July Problems fac
ing the railroad administration will
be among the first business laid be-
fore President Wilson on his return
to Washington. Director General
Hines plans to confer with the
president next week, but stated he
had no specific recommendation to
make.
1t is believed that increased freight
rates will be the most important
topic. With crop movements start
ing. it is expected that the next few
weeks will determine whether an in
crease is to be made, administration
officials believing that decision will
Pbe possible by September 1. Traffic
experts are inclined to think that an
advance in rates will reduce business,
a factor to which close attention is
being given.
Plans for return of the roads to
corporate control constituted another
subject likely to be taken up at the
conference between Mr.. Hines and
the president. Suggestions for a re-
turn of the roads to the direction of
the owning compnaies have been
made by railroad officials, who argue
that time should be given to re-or-
ganize their stats before December
81, the date set by President Wilson
when federal control is to be relin-
uuished.

Chicago, July 2.--The strike of COM
merclal telegraphers, which began
June II, was called off today and the
citys strike troubles were relieved
virtually at an end, but many build
ing laborers continued idle and about
1000 garment workers walked out
today, seeking dollar an hour wage.
The city employees now on strike are
those of the street bureau, about S.
600, who have refused an increase of
SO cents day and demand ST. There
was believed to be hope of an early
settlement by the city hall confer
ences. Policemen and firemen have
practically accepted increases of $500
year, and there is no more strike
talk. Engineers still threaten walk
out but are continuing to negoatiate.
Garment Workers Out.
Notices of a general strike of ladies-
garment workers have been issued and
1000 workers walked out today. The
employers declared however, that they
had shut down their plants over July
4, while negotiating with officials of
the international Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Makers union, and had agreed to abol-
lshment of piece work, institution of
44-hour week, and minimum wages
of $44 weekly to operators.
The building larborers, whose walk
out has affected about 1D,a6oo ssaas.see,,::

prlsoned in California for bomb out
rage, was made today. A man who
was said to have been distributing
hand bills announcing Mooney meet
ings for tomorrow night, was taken
into custody.

The strike of the telegraphers was
called off by S. j. Wonenkamp, pre-
sident of the C. T. u, shortly after
he had returned from Washington.
and conferred with other officials Of
the union. Later, Mr.. Konenkamp
issued this statement:
when the present strike was de-
clared against the telegraph companies
under control of the wire administra-
ton 1T was understood that it would
not be made an endurance contest.
The strike was to be the final portest
against the unfair and unjust treat
ment we have received since August
1918 at the hands of the wire admins

this protest effective it would be
necessary to make the strike sufficien-
thy acute to compel action. This does
not seem possible now either through
our efforts or the efforts of others
