Carl Was Not Burglar
 He Was Just Confused

Carl Ldndferst of StratfOrd, charged with attempt at burglary, was bound over in the city court, this morning, to the May term of the Superior court. It is alleged that Lindferst was ar rested while attempting to jimmy the door of a Water street clothing store on the night of March 31st. When searched he had in his possession a large open blade knife.
 Some members of the police depart ment make light of the circumstances and say that Iindferst came to town for the purpose of purchasing a suit of clothes. Before fulfilling his mis- sion he became intoxicated and when the saloons closed up at midnight, in his irresponsible condition and not considering the hour. proceeded to do his business with a, clothing store. His actions some think, were confused with an attempt at burglary.

He called attention to the fact that where the jitneys used them the streets were in fine condition and he believes that it would only be a short time when the trolley companies would be compelled to remove their tracks and all traffic would be by busses the same as it is in London, England.
 It will be Q matter of a short time, he said, when all the smaller jitneys will be replaced by large busses like the ones now in use here, some of which cost from $2,OOO to $5,OOO-
 The 1itney owners of this city are over 80 per cent organized and the ! two associations have between 500 and GOO members.
 The busses start at 10 o'clock, and all are welcome to go, but no One showing any indication of intoxication will be taken

 "The government of the Bava rian council republic follows the example of the Hungarian and Russian peo- pies. It will resume immediately a brother connection with these peo- pies but it declines any connection with the contemptuous Ebert-Scheide- mann government because that gov ernment is continuing under the fla g of a sOCialistic republic the imperial istic, capitalistic and military business of the disgraceful, broken down Ger man empire.

Copenhagen, April 8-Protests against the formation of the Soviet government, voiced at political meeting in Bamberg northern Ba- varia, are reported in despatches from that city. Deputies of all the bourgeois parties of the three Fran conian government, upper, lower and middle F'ranconia, met in Bamberg and registered a unanimous protest against the proclamation of the new regime at Munich.
 A Berlin despatch says that Erich MUehsan, a prominent communist who is included in the Bavarian Sov- jet government, has been given un- limited powers by the Bavarian Cen u-al Council, according to the Ach- tuhrblatt, and thus exercises an un- restricted dictatorship.
 Muehsan and Landauer, the min ister of popular enlignment'' are to- day the rulers who dominate Munich with the support of the garrison, this newspaper declares. It expresses the opinion that the Soviet government, however, will not last as the people are opposed to the dictatorship and hope that the counter measures taken by Premier Hoffman of the old gov ernment, will be effective.

So far as could be learned today no information has been received at the White House or in other official quarters about the situation which despatches from France indicate has arisen there. Officials confidently declare their belief that the Prest- dent has no idea of leaving Paris prematurely and that the inquiry about the transport merely was speculation to insure the presence of the ship when the President is ready to return home.

REGENT RUMOR
 IS UNFOUNDED
No Action Taken Regarding Island in Carib-
 bean.

Panama, Monday, April 7.---The re- cent rumor that the United States might obtain title to the islands of St. Andrews and Old Providence, in the Caribbean, off the Nicaraguan coast, had it's origin in the unoffCialIy ex- pressed wish of Hoffman Philip, Unit ed States minister at Bogota, that the islands might be leased, according to a statement made by Santiago Her ras, fiscal agent of Colombia, while visiting the islands recently. He said that no sue action had been taken and that nothing could be done until the Colombian congress should revise the constitution, which forbids the alienation of national possessions.
 St. Andrews and Old Providence is- lands lie in the Caribbean to the north-northea5t of Colon, the Atlantic terminus of the Panama Canal. Some time ago there was a report that the United States might secure the is lands from Colombia, and fortify them as defences for the canal The is- lands, which include 6 number of small cays, are quite fertile and in 1900 had a. population of three thou sand.

pected TO be in session about two

The matter of lodging the 5000 per-
