 CR0||S RAPIDLY

Strasbourg, Wednesday, Oct. 22.- The conspiracy for a. revolt in AIsace- Lorraine, having for it's object the es- tablishment of an autonomous repub- lie here, is assuming greater propor- tions thna first anticipated. Koess- Ter, the man alleged to be the arch conspirator, made a confession ad- hitting that he has received 800, 600 francs from Germany since last May. The funds were sent to him from Ba- den Baden, it is said.
 Acting as intern ediary between the Berlin foreign office and the conspir- ators here, according to Koessler' S revelations to the police, was Herr Won Gruenelius, 8 relative of former Imperial Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg.
 Literature seized at the home of Koessler bore the caption "The Neu- traI Republic of Alsace-Lorraine, " and called upon the population of the two provinces to separate from France as well as Germany.

New York. Oct. 23-Members of the International Union of Teamsters, Chauffeurs and Helpers, whose strike ten days ago resulted in a complete tie up in express service here, re- turned to work today.
 Decision to call the strike off was reached at a meeting late yesterday after a committee which had visited Washington reported that Walker D. Hines, United States railroad director, had warned them that unless the strike were terminated he would send troops to New York to replace the strik&rS.
 MT. Hines has promised the men that he would seek to have the wage adjustment board return a decision on their demands by November 4. It was the failure of the board to act as quickly as the men thought it should that led them to strike.

VISCO(jNTFRENCH BITTER AGAINST
 SINN FEN GOVT

London, Wednesday, Oct. 23-Speak- ing at WaIlasey, Cheshire, tonight, Field Marshal Viscount French, Lord Lieutenant and Governor General of Ireland, bitterly attacked the Sim Fein government of Ireland. Among other things, he said:
 'The self-constituted. illegal and insane Sim Fein government is pos sessed of a great secret army called the Irish Volunteers to which are attached assassins whose business it is to murder police and soldiers who question their decrees in any com- munity. The people are frightened into screening the offenders, and courageous efforts on the part of the police are abortive. We are anxious to give self-determination and to be faithful and just to all, but little can possibly be done until law and order are established. When the people hear of coercion I hope they will consider the matter in a just light"

Trolley Service Furnished
 At A Loss, StOrrs Claims

Claiming that trolley car transpor- tation is now being furnished to the people of Bridgeport at a loss to the company, Lucius $. Storrs, president of the Connecticut Company, speak ing at the weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis club, which was held at The Stratfeld this noon. declared that the new zone fare system must be install ed to meet expenses, and unless 1t is supported by the public the company will be forced to discontinue its ser vice.
 Increased cost of production, higher wages to employees, increased cost of power and increased cost of maintenance were some of the items given by Mir. Storrs as the reason the Connecticut Company is conducting its business at a loss. Also the spend ing of $3,760,000 since 1906 by the Connecticut Company for betterments and improvements in Bridgeport was brought forward by tke trolley com pany president in defense of the new system. New pavements and bridges. the cost of which has been partially shared by the Connecticut Company are responsible for the most part for this expenditure.
 Being in this condition of in aebeness, and being denied relief by the General Assembly, we were com pelled to readjust the schedule of fares" declared MT. Storrs
 we had three possible ways of making this readjustment The first was a flat fare increase, another the dividing of the property into a great CT number of six cent zones, and the third the establishment of distance fare system. by which people would pay according to the distance they might ride After a most exhaustive study of the situation we decided that the distance fare system was the one equitable and logical method to adopt"
 MT. Storrs, in defending the adcp- ton of the zone fare system then de- clared that the people have no cause for complaint over the increased fare for years for less than the cost of the service given them. ! Should they be unwilling to pay a fair charge for their rides?" said MT. Storrs, i've have no alternative but to discontinue the service they may fail to support
 The speaker then took a whack at the jitneys, declaring that they could not efficiently handle the traffic, and that even now the buses are operat- ing over the pavements the cost Of which was partially shared by the company.
 In closing his defense Of the zone system, MT. Storrs made a general appeal, asking that the new plan be given a fair trial before any judg- nent is made. He ended his re- marks with another threat rela tive to the discontinuance of service over the least successful lines until Q point is reached where the company's reve- nues are sufficient to meet al! obliga- tions.

BELGIAN ROYAL PARTY Is GIVEN
 BIC RECEPTION
King Albert Gets Degree From University of
 Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh, Oct 23-Former resi- dents of Belgium from all parts of western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia joined the people of Pittsburgh today in honoring Al bert, King of the Belgians, and Queen Elizabeth.
 The royal party arrived from Gin cinnati in a special train and were greeted at the railway station by Gov ernor and Mrs. Sproul, Mayor and Mrs Babcock and a committee of citizens. After the exchange of greetings they were taken to a hotel, and from there to the soldiers me morial where King Albert received an honorary degree from the Uni versity of Pittsburgh.
 Inspection of Carnegie Institute and the Carnegie School of Technology. was followed by luncheon at the mayors residence. The party then drove to the Duquesne plant of the Carnegie Steel Co.,, where King Al bert was shown through the mills and Queen Elizabeth, who is graduate physician, was taken through the emergency hospital
 The remainder of the program provided for a quick return to Pitts burgh where students of the Univer- Sity of P1ttSDurgh ana the technical school were waiting to give the royal couple a rousing reception at Forbes Field. From there they were taken to the Exposition hall, where the Bel gians and many citizens were assem- bIed for the final function of the day.
 King Albert's special train was sidetracked for several hours today at Oakdale, Pa, so the members of his party could have a restfui night
 As usual, the king was the earliest riser on the train, and he was out for a tramp almost before daylight, greeting railroad men and zainers on their way to work. They had no idea of the identity of the tall man in blue serge who spoke to them so cheerfully.
