SHOULD HAVE
 LOUD WARNING BELL OR WHISTLE

That a whistle or bell the sound of which could not be drowned out by a passing train. should be adopted by railroads is the recommendation of Coroner Phelan made today in the case of Everett E. Wagner. of Green which. who was killed in that bor- ough September g. Wagner was d New Haven railroad conductor and was struck as he was walking along the track. It was shown that the whistle and bell were sounded but Wagner evidently aid not hear them because of the noise made by a pass ing train. The coroner finds that Wagner's death was due to accidental causes.
 The coroner also made a finding in the case of Leo Leffenbine, a New Haven railroad car inspector, who was struck September 1 while walking along the track in East Portchester. The night was dark and the train which hit Leffenbine appeared so suddenly from behind a curve that the engineer could not stop the train in time 10 avoid the fatality. Leffen- b.ne's death was accidental, the cor oner finds. -.-'

Ratification of the Federal Suf- frage Amendment by Minnesota and New Hampshire brings up the mum ber of states that have now ratified 10 sixteen.
 The Legislatures of two of the Southern States-Georgia and Ala bana--hayc come into regular ses- sion since the Amendment was sub mitt, but both these states have re fused to raify.

SUSPECT SOUGHT
 HERE
Police Very Loath to Give
 Information on Binko-
witz Mystery. MAN AND WOMAN
 CROSS EXAMINED

Activity in the Binkowitz murder case shifted today from Milford to Bridgeport, and al- though the police were dtcid- edly reticent when questioned about the matter, it is believed that the trail is getting hotter every minute.
 Coroner Eli Mix. of New fla ven. Detective Futile. and six New York detectives held a ses- sion ill police headquarters this morning. but refused to give out any information re- gardIn 2 the case.
 T. is reported that Phillip Kauvar and Doris Kline. who were arrested Wednesday night in connection with the affair, were put through d severe cross-examination in Milford last night As the result of this examina- ton it is said that the police are now inclined to believe that jealousy over a woman was the motive for the crime.
 Prosecuting Attorney Omar Platt of Milford, stated this morning that neither Kauvar CT the Kline woman have been arraigned berore him. Judge Jervis D. Brown. Jr.. of the Milford town court confirmed the statement that Kauvar and the Kline woman have not been arraigned in court.
 It was reported this morning that the police had located the missing Packard automobile in a local garage. Detectives who are working on the case refused to disc-Is- this phase of the matter, however, and To further definite information could be secured.
 Conflicting reports as 10 whether Kauvar and the Kline woman have been released from custody were nu- merous this morning. Chief Maher Of the Milford police refused to confirm or deny any of the rumors. He re- ferrred all questions to Coroner Mix. The coroner is keeping mum. how ever, and his tactics are being fol- lowed out by every official who is in vestiGating the affair. The conference which was held this morning may re- suit in further arrests in the near fu- ture.

Wilson Carries Olive Branch
 To Meeting At New Britain
APPARENTLY AMICABLE RE UNITING OF KING
 AND RORABACK FACTIONS

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, aspirant for the gubernatorial nomination, will go to New Britain this afternoon to d Lake Compounce pow wow of the G Q. P, carrying the olive branch as the sign of peace between the King and ROraback factions of the Staue and the party will apparently be unit ed again.
 Wilson admitted this morning flat he was to attend the meeting which will be addressed by Republican Ma tional Chairman Win Hays and his presence as well as others of the King staff in this section of the State, in dicate that the hostilities are about to end.
 It will be recalled that when Hays visited Bridgeport sometime ago as the guest of the King crowd. he was. in present day street parlance. rag zed" by the Rorabackers who refused to come here to meet him. Hays was much concerned over the wide sap in the state lineup and declared then that he would bring about union
 The understanding is that the Re publican National Committee told King that he couldn't run Connecti- cut and National affairs at the same time. meanin" that if he was to be allowed to further the candidacy of General Leonard Wood for president he would have to in turn. allow a union of the Connecticut forces. King forthwith decided to stick to his Wood campaign job and consented to take an amica bIe attitude towards the ROraback faction.
 And Wilson and the Bridgeporters are in New Britain today to give the living testimony Of the end Cf hOstili- ties.

GREN6DES USED
 IN ATTACK ON
 HUN PR0FITEERS

Cobleuz. sept. 13.-Hand grenades left over from the war were used gI- fectiveIy recently by euraged civilians ir Zoppat la West Prussia who at tackled food stores on the ground that the sLouaecpers were prOhteer- ing. According to information reach Ing American army headquarters d mob. armed with grenadcs, revolyers and other weapons, attacked in mum bers lue stores which were known to have charged high prices.
 In the interior of Germany mar garine has been quoted recently at 6 marks per pound whereas 1t formerly cost 2.sO marks per pound. This Is attrtbuted to the fact that large quan- titles have lately been bought abroad at higher prices than formerly owing 10 the low rate of German exchange. The official rate of exchange for Au- gust at army headquarters is two marks, twenty-two ufeuniugs for one franc, givins he mark a value in American money Of a fraction more than six cents.
