man beyond middle age, with large
eyes that showed signs Of dissipation.
He had a small. dark tuft beneath his
lower lip and thin, black, untidy hair.

The schoolmaster and I went over
to Mr.. Wright's house-a white, frame
building which had often been pointed
out to me.
Mrs. Wright, f1ne-looking lady who
met us at the door, said that the sen,
ator had gone over to the mill with his
wheelbarrow.
"We'Ve plenty Of time and we'll wait
for him." said the schoolmaster.

 STOCK PROMISE
Counsel for Republican Boss Files Demurrer in $2OO,OOO
 Trolley Suit.

That no allegation is made that he was ever called upon by the Bridge port 6, Danbury Trolley Co. to pay for his $199,6OO stock subscriptions, is the claim of Republican Boss John T.

 ON SILVER %.
Judge Thomas Dissolves Or der Preventing Sale of
 Smith Plant.

The injunction restraining the sale of the E. H. H. Smith Silver Go plant in Stratford was dissolved this afternoon by Judge E. s. Thomas of the United States district court who name to the county courthouse to hold "a hearing on the matter. Attorney S. ID. Bowers, counsel for Receiver John T. King, will ask the superior court next week to assign a new date for the public sale of the property.
 Judge Thomas dissolved the in junction because Henry J. Eckert, who applied for the writ, is a citizen of New York state and the Smith Go. is a New York corporation. As par ties from two different states were not involved the district court had no Jurisdiction It appeared in the pc tition for the injunction that the Smith Go. was a Connecticut corpor- alton but this was not correct. The affairs of the company will again pass under the control of the su- perior court.

CITY NATIONAL.
 BANK MOVES
Occupies New Quarters At Corner of Main and John
 Streets.

At precisely noon today, the City National Bank disappeared from Mid dle street near Water where it has reposed for many years. At that time the last of the portable counters and other fixtures used in doing bus mess since the bank started moving was transferred to the new home at the corner of Main and John streets.
 But it was learned on good author ity today that the new home was to be only a temporary one, and that Frank Miller, president of the bank, is planning the erection of an up-to- date building in the very near future.
 For this reason the costly panel work on the ceiling of the building on Middle street has not been trans ferred to the new quarters and that was the reason for the transplanting of all the old fixtures to the building on Main and John streets.
 While no definite time for the cree. ton of a new building has been set. it is said that one will be started as soon as the Main and John street property is available

Peace Conference Watches Events In Rome AnxiOusIy Baron SOnninO
 And Ex-Premier Leave For Italy
Reports From American Embassy As to Public
 Feeling Are Ominous.

Paris, April 26 - Foreign Minister SOnninO and Former Minister Salandra of the ItaI- ian delegation left Paris for Rome at , o'clock this morn ing. A large crowd of sympa- thizers gave them all ovation at the railway station.
 The Peace Conference is watching with intense interest the result of to- days developments in Rome, where Premier Orlando arrived this nOrn- ing and where the events of the day are expected to disclose whether the hopes of reconciliation can be real azed. Reports received here from the American embassy in Rome are some rvhab ouinous as to the general state of public feeling there, as crowds have been paradinG the streets cry 1ng. Down with the Anericans!" and '''Down with the English and Viva Sonuinoi" The foreign minister who Outdid Premier Orlando in pressing the extreme demands made by Italy under the secret treaty of London.
 These reports are particularly dis buT7bing, as the American and British NlelezEaLlOuS 10 the EeaGS NOnLSEeilL6 are said to have had reason to be- Ieve that Premier Orlando might adopt q, course before the Italian par lianent which would lead to an am dcable adjustment. Premier Lloyd George was particularly hopeful that the result would be brought about.
 The reports of the popular agita- ton at Rome and many other Italian centers, however, have led to fears that the Italian prime minister's con- ciliatory attitude may be swept away in an 0utburst of feeling by the populace which will insist upon de- mands far beyond those the Council of the Powers or President Wilson will feel themselves able to accept.
 It has just developed that the British, American and French admir- als in command in Adriadc waters had formulated a plan for giving Italy certain of the Dalmatian isl ands which would have assured Italy of control of the Adriatic such as she desires. This joint plan was presented to the Italian representa- tives and was rejected as not sufi- cieut-

DORSEN AGAIN PUT ON STAND
Says Willetts Agreed to Give Him Plenty of Aid.

Abraham Dorsen was again on thu stand when the hearing on the ac- counting of the receivers of the Dor sen Dry Goods company was resum- ed this morning before John ". Banks referee in bankruptcy
 The cross examination of MT. Dor sen was taken up by Attorney Robert ?. Lewis, of New York, Attorney Leo Oppenheimer of New York was un- able to be present.
 MT. Dorsen said Tle did not include the amounts due for the cash reg isters and soda fountain in the list of debts prepared by him in March 1918 because he considered that they were not due; payments on those ac= counts being made monthly
 In reference to his negotiations with MT. Willetts and the Royal Adjust ment company, he said that the first proposition was that g, loan of $3OoOG was to be made and that the Royal Adjustment company was to receive $10,000 common stock, in the Dorsen Dry Goods company, as a. bonus.
 Subsequently MT. WilIetts told us that he did not want to take advan- tage of us by taking the common stock, which in a short time would be very valuable, but would take in place Of it S2000 cash. I wanted to know if that was not taking advantage of us, to demand $20,00O cash, but he explained that we need not pay it at once, only out of the profits. Then I thought that as long as his money was going to allow us to make the profits, it would be better this way
 Wi1letts promised to help us in many ways. He would promise to give us the Brooklyns bridge I guess in order to get us to make the deal.
