 WILSON TRYING
 TO CUT MACHINE Henry and Cliff Together lot Strong Enough For '! King, Friends Say.

Positive assurance that one Republican alderman who for years has fought against a one man control of the police and fire departments, will vote against Mayor Clifford B. Will sons resolution asking for a merger of the departments, was voiced today.
 While a special meeting of the all dermen has been called for next Monday night, ostensibly with the purpose of bringing to a head the much discussed merger, Mayor Will son may decide to side track this is sue for another week, in view of the feeling expressed by Republican leaders, on this subject One thing that will come up at Monday nights meeting will be the report of the Advisory Finance Committee and their recommendations on the bond issue for 1919-1920.
 Talks with Republican leaders in- dicate that they are consolidated in the belief that Mayor Wilson is de- liberately trying to cut the organiza- ton that made him, in :he hope of getting into the good graces of Henry H. Roraback and obtaining the gu- bernatorial nomination in 1920. It is q well known fact this is the mayors ambition, and as he knows that MT. Roraback will take little interest in it until he has ditched John T. King, organization c. O, P. men in Bridge port believe that the mayor is taking the first step in his attempt to over rule the so-called master of Fairfield county.
 Bridgeport Republicans are stil strong for Mir. King. The fact that Mayor Wilson in presenting his com { munication on municipal changes tc the Board of Aldermen, disregarded the Republican town committee en- tirely. Is ranking in the breast ot every majority leader in the counci and Is taken by disLict leaders heretofore consulted in these mat ters, as a deliberate break of faitt on the part of the mayor The may. or did not even submit his letter tc a caucus of c O P committeeman.

FORMER DRIVER
 GAVE BAD CHECKS

Henry J. Hogan of No~walk, a chauffeur formerly employed by the Cauldwel1- -Wingate company, waived examination. on charge of passing worthless checks. in City court this morning and was bound over to the February term of the Superior court, in bonds of SIC by Judge Frederic A. Bartlett.
 Hogan was arrested yesterday af- ternoon by Detectives James Bray and George Washburn, as he alighted from a New Haven trolley car at Con- gross and Main streets.
 He is charged with passing worth less checks amounting to $500 at the store of Meigs & Co. and G. T. Green. Both are compiainants.
 Hogan is said to have been dis charged from his former employment four weeks ago, and since that time the police state he has "been hitting the high spots" He has been absent from his room at the Amazon hotel, since a week ago. His appearance Tn this city yesterday, was the first time in over a week.
 He purchased a suit of clothes, an overcoat and some furnishings, at the Meigs store, and paid for the goods with three $50 checks. Green is said to have cashed a check for S150 for Hogan. The checks were drawn on the Plattsburg Trust company of Plattsburg, N. Y, and on the Second National Bank of New York City Hogan is said by the police to have heen arrested a year ago on a similar charge, at which time he passed a check purported to have been signed by an employer in New York. He used his own name on all of the checks he passed here, but is said to have used the name of Higgins" and "Boyle'' on other occasions.

'1-Switzerland expects to be ad mitted with other states to the peace negotiations as far as they will deal with her own special interests or with problems of general importance. Ex- clusion from deliberations on prob lens of the League of Nations would be considered by the Swiss people as inconsistent with the principles of democracy. Neutral states, not hav- ing been called upon to make as heavy sacrifices as belligerents, have, nevertheless, suffered severely in consequence of the war. All have been able, especially in case of Switz- erland, to render considerable ser vice to humanity.
 "2-Switzerland highly approves of the creation of a; League of Nations for preserving peace, and expects from 1t a complete reform of inter- national relations. Consequently, the maintenance of power should not really depend upon the observation of a procedure of inquiry previous to a declaration of war, but must be founded upon a general interdiction to parties in conflict not to resort to arms, International conflicts must, as far as their character allows, be solved either by arbitration tribunals formed by the free consent of the parties or is by permanent interna- tional court offring every guarantee of political independence. All other international disputes must be sub mitted to a procedure of mediation through which lasting settlements on the basis of equity and justice can be

27TH COMING
 HOME AS UNIT

Washington, Jan. 23.---Practically the complete strength of the 27th di- vision GNew York National Guard), about 25,oO0 men, has been ordered assembled for early convoy home from France. A cablegram to the War De- partment today lists all of the big or ganizations of the division, showing that it will be the first combatant division to come home as a unit.
 It was announced today that the 27th, 30th and 37th divisions had been ordered to prepare for authorization and it is understood the assembling of the 27th as a unit means that the same course will be followed in re- turning the other two.

DIED STOPPING
 RUNAWAY HORSES
Court Hears Falls Appeal From Decision of Com
 pensation Commissioner

Appealing from the decision of the Compensation Commissioner in which Elizabeth May Falls was awarded S6.50 week as compensation result ling from the death of her husband who was killed May ?, 1916, while in the employ of the Burns Company the case is being reviewed by Judge Green in the Superior Coort.
 Although former testimony showed that George c. Falls was in the en- ploy of the Burns Company on May 2, 1916 engaged in carting dirt from an excavation at Cedar and Pembroke streets and that during the noon hour while endeavoring to. prevent his en- ployers' team from running away he was killed, the Burns company con- tend that Falls was not acting within his regular course of employment.
 It appears that during the noon hour Falls departed from his regular route and proceeded to Crows cafe at Connecticut aed Seaview avenues. Before entering the saloon he un- bridled the horses and adjusted the feed bags. While the driver was in side the cafe the horses became
 
 train carrying material to the plant of the American Tube & Stamping Go. Falls rushed out of the saloon and
 tried to head the horses off and pre- vent them from running away. The team tramped upon him and his skull
 was crushed, resulting in death. The Burns Company allege that Falls had
 no right to leave the team unhitched ] that he was violating a city ordinance | in doing so; that at the time the ac- i cident occurred was 1:40 when he i should have been on the job in other | parts of the city, and that his actions at the time were outside of the | course of his employment.
 The superior court session this morning was a short one on account | of the necessity of Judge Greene hay ing tc attend meeting of the su- 1 perior court judges at New Haver | this afternoon.

necessity for actions which may ulti- mately consist of military pressure within the system of the League of Nations. Nevertheless, Switzerland Is determined not to abandon her neu- trality, which is laid down in the Swiss constitution and based on the tradition of 400 years of peaceful politics. This neutrality is necessary for Switzerland< considering the com position of her population as we'll on account of her being in an particu larly exposed stratz yical position. In case armed conflict should, after all, occur under the reign of the League of Nations, the existence of the sev- eral permanently neutral and in- violable states would be great bene- fit also for the League itself. The institution of the Red Cross must be based on the existence of such neu- tral territory if it is to be able to entirely fulfill its task
 "4-Freedom of production and commerce is vital importance for Switzerland. The Swiss people hope peace will re-establish the principle of commercial freedom. As far as limitations will be imposed concern ing importation, exportation and free passage of goods, and raw materials, all states should mutually accord each other most-favored nation treatment.

 Delay which can give opportunity for discussion and conciliation will be the main resource of the league in dealing with disputes in which the vital interest of great nations are in volved. As in the peace congress, the ultimate decision must rest with the great powers. since, as last resort,
 the league can enforce its decisions only by the military power which will always be possessed by the great na- tions.

"Ti,e creation of non-rigid intcrna- tional machinery by which a council by exerting influence toward concilia- tion, may work, will be the main strength of future peace makers he said. such a body must, however, possess at least sufficient interna- tionally guaranteed power to be abb to prevent surprise declarations of war and to compel disputants to ac- cept delay. during which forces of civilization may have time to try to avert d calamity.
