IRISH QUESTION AGAIN BEFORE
 COMMITTEE
Fox Explains He Was Not Referring to F. P.
 Walsh.

Washington, Dec. 13-The Irish question: today again was before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs George L. Fox, of New Haven ex- pected to resume his attack before the committee on the Mason bill, pro- viding for recognition of the Irish re- public, and Bourke Cochran, of New York, was to make the concluding address in support of the measure
 Resuning his speech in opposition to the Mason bill, MT. Fox declared the reason Irish republican leaders had been imprisoned was that they had given aid and comfort to the enemy in the war;
 And if men in this country had done the same thing,'' he added, they would have got it in the neck as quickly as those Irishmen did.''
 MT. Fox attacked the statement that upwards of 10000, COG Americans of Irish blood were asking recognition of the republic, declaring the 1910 census showed only 6O0,000 males In the Unit ed States who were born in Ireland.
 He said that at least some Roman Catholics had an 'utter contempt for the Sim F'einers,'' backing the repub- Hcan government. If a vote were taken in Ireland with illiterates barred from the polls, he asserted, the result would be overwhelmingly against the Sim F'ein moveme ent.

 ID BE AIRED Judge Webb Appoints Com n1ittee To Hear
 Evidence.

The romance of Jessie Shepard Husted, former Arcade Barber shop manicure, and Mills H. Husted, wealthy Greenwich young man, will again be described in the courts, owing to an order by Judge Webb of the Superior court today appointing a committee to hear the divorce suit. The divorce action Is brought by Husted and he alleges that the young wife deserted him August 5, 1918.
 The couple were married in March, 1918, when Mrs. Husted was employ ed at the Hotel Taft, New Haven, as a manicure. Husted was a student at Yale at the time. The couple went to live at the home of Husted's mother in Greenwich but they did not get along well together. The troubles of the young couple were aired in court a year ago when Husted asked for a divorce and his wife filed a cross complaint also seeking a decree. The court refused to grant either a di- vorce then. Judge E. P. Nobbs of this city has been named as a com 1nittee to hear testimony in the pres ent action.

EX-SOl(liieI" Abused
 Wife
Story of Yvonne of Bel gium Reads Like Fic- ton Tale.
WOUNDED MANY
 TIMES BY SHRAPNEL

Two years ago when the British armies were locked In a terrific struggle with the German hordes on the Western front, there came to little Belgian village near the French frontier a Canadian regiment. The Germans were forced to retire from the town, and the men from overseas were warmly welcomed by the viii lagers.
 Wounded men who were unable to participate in the fighting beyond the town were billeted in houses in the village. One of these fighters was George Patterson, a Canadian of Scotch descent. Patterson was as- signed to the home of weII-to-do mine superintendent named Con- Conde, and while recuperating in this place gained the love of the daughter, Yvonne. Every soldier was looked up to a hero by the Belgians of the village. and Patterson's wonderful tales of Canada and America caused him to be admired still more greatly by the young girl. Thinking the Canadian to be a good man, the par ents consented to a marriage, and ac- cording to the girls story, the cou- pie were married after Patterson had gained the consent of his captain.
 Upon the conclusion of the war, Patterson brought his bride back to Canada with him, and then she learned that her husband was not so much of a hero as she at first be- Iieved. The ex-soldier moved to Worcester, Mass, taking his wife with him, and from that city came to Bridgeport where he secured a po- sition in the Columbia Graphophone Co.'S plant.

BRADSTREETTO SELL SUGAR CENTS
 MAKE ID PER CENT
WHOLESALE GROCERS ASSERT THAT EURCOPE HAS OUTPUT OF WORLD
 SUGAR FOR 192O-GREAT
 SCARCITY PREDICTED

Charles NJ. Bradstreet, local manager of Miner, Reed and TuIloch, one of the largest wholesale grocers in New Eng land predicts that sugar will be D cents a pound within the next two weeks and says that it will not be profiteering and that it will be scarce at this price.
 MT. Bra adstreet says that in May of this year a letter was sent to Presi- dent Wilson by New York grocers and brokers, some of the largest in America, warning him that L--Iess something was done Europe would have bought the entire sugar crop and a shortage would prevail during the entire year of 1920. No attention was paid to this letter and two others were sent without any effect.
 Notices were sent to grocers that sugar would be scarce and advising them to buy. Many did not believe the report, among them the Miner Reed & Tulloch Co.,, so many were caught without sugar. Since May MT. BradsTreet says that no legitimate wholesale grocer has been able to give his customers a barrel of sugar.

 OF ACCIDENTS
Coroner Scores Witness of Fatality Who Wouldn't
 Appear.

Regreting that witnesses of the automobile fatality did not have suff- cient public interest to come for ward and testify, Coroner PheIan to- day made a finding of accidental death in the case of John CapraI, 157 HalIam street, who was struck by a jitney at Noble and East Washing ton avenues, Dec. 3, last There were many persons standing at this corner at the time, but only one witness appeared to tell what hap pened.
 The jitney was driven by Orazio Denaro, 157 Harriet street, who said he had slackened the speed of his car to avoid striking two men who crossed the street ahead of Capral.
 The driver said CapraI suddenly aD- peared from behind trolley car and it was impossible to stop the jitney in time to avoid hitting him.
 In the case of Samuel Soufrin, 998 Howard avenue, the coroner also found that death was accidental. The man died as a result of injuries re- ceived when his automobile cCllided in Stratford with a car driven by John Groce of Waterbury. The cars Weatogue Country club. Because of the winding road each thought the other was on the wrong side of the highway. Because of this and the fact that the night was foggy, the coroner decided Groce was not to blame.
