AUSTRIAN ENEMY
 BEFORE COURT
Frank Gordos, Said To Be Worth $10O, 900, Arraign-
 ed for Auto Theft.

Charged with being the leader of a band of automobile thieves, although he claims to be worth S100,000, Frank Condor, an Austrian enemy alien, was arraigned before Judge KeeIer in the criminal superior court this morning. He is alleged to have stolen a car belonging to pr. o. T. Rule of Stamford.
 Condor denies he is member of any organized gang of thieves. He says he has travelled all over the country and was recently married to a. moving picture actress in Los Angeles, Cal. He refused to give her name.
 The man was captured by the police in a novel manner. He had stepped into the doctors car and just started the power when the machine crash ed into an obstruction and turned over, pinning Condor under the ma chine. Counsel for the accused claim ed Condor is in bad physical condi- ton but the court wanted further de- tails about that and continued the case until late this afternoon.

DEATH BLOW ID
 KING MACHINE View Taken of Action of Aldermen on Bonds Mon
 day Night.

From the view taken by officials of the Board of Education, and several public spirited citizens, the action of the Board of Aldermen on Monday night in authorizing the issue of $500, 900 in bonds for street paving and only $155,O0 for school build ings, is the final death blow to the present administration and the King machine in Bridgeport.
 Little comment on the subject was voiced on Tuesday or Wednesday,, but today, after the matter had been given due thought, all indications pointed to the rise of a storm of pro- test.
 It was looked on as the most mad equate protection for the growing generation that has been made in Bridgeport for many a year. and the claim by a member of the Board of Education that Mayor, Wilson's state ment to the effect that it was better to wait until the reconstruction period had passed, before bonding more heav- fly for schools, Twas pure ''b1arney'. found fertile spot in the minds of Bridgeporters in general.
 The school situation in Bridgeport is in a sorry plight according to those who know and education officials ars making no secret of the matter. This knowledge brought on the argument, 'If the mayor, as he has repeatedly declared, believes Bridgeport the best paved city in New England, why cant well enough be left alone, and more attention be paid to the schools?"
 The s155,oo0 for school buildings will undoubtedly be used in an addi- ton of the Mckinley school This however, is not the only district in the city short of school rooms, prac- ticany every school being overcrowd- ed, with the high school far made quate to the demands.

 It was a public funeral In which, 1t seemed, every resident of the great metropolis endeavored to participate. The streets through which the cor tege moved were congested, and every inch of standing room in the neigh. borhood of the abbey was occupied by a densely massed multitude which was eager to do reverent homage to 'that brave woraan," as the Bishop of London described her, who de- serves a great deal from the British empire"

HIS SENSES
 AND ALSO THE
 WIDOWS MONEY

Elizabeth Kolwoski, a young widow residing at 186 Spruce street, re- gently received a check for ss72.25 from the Modern woodmen of the World in settlement of her husbands insurance. The young woman's ex- perience with negotiable paper was very limited so she confded with Gabor |Gyulay, a kindly and trusting youth who has been strong in the young widows affections since the death of her husband.
 Gyu1ay kindly offered to liquidate the check and did so in a neighbor- hood saloon. The young man claims that after receiving the money he partook of some liquid refreshment which caused him to not only lose his senses, but also the money
 He begged forgiveness of his affin- ity but she looked upon the transac- ton with suspicion and told her story to the police. A detective found Gyulay locked in his room this morn ing. It was necessary to break hb door down before an entrance was made. Then Gyulay battIed with the detective before submitting to arrest. He was brought to headuuarters where he told his story but the police believe Gyulay has the money plant ed. He was locked up on g. charge of embezzlement and placed under S1,5oo bonds The case will be heard bafoxa tha city cauxt in tha unnxalns.

Announcement of the immense pro 5ect came shortly after 11:3o this morning from Jarvis Williams, gen eraI manager of the U. M. c. plant in this city. It came like a, streak of lightning out of a clear sky and the surprise expressed by the few who heard of the coming of the Willys- Overland company was supreme.
 President Willys' express purpose in coming to Bridgeport with President Kimban, is to look over the property of the Remington Arms and Union Metallic Cartridge company in this city. No definite information was forthcoming early this afternoon as to whether the big ammunition and gun plant would be sold outright to the Wi1Iys-Overland company or whether an agreement would be en- tered into between the two concerns, whereby production would be under joint jurisdiction. There was some indication that leads to the belief that the latter arrangement will be the one finally agreed upon.
 It goes without saying, no such an-

MOTOR CONCERN MAY COME HERE
GERMANY WINS ANOTHER REBUFF
 FROM ENTENTE
Vigorous Measures Planned If She Refuses to Sign
 Treaty.
(Rv the Associated Pressl


 Germany has met with an- other rebuff from the Council of Four of the peace confer ence in the effort her plenipo- tentarieS at Versailles are mak- ing to secure alterations in the peace treaty by setting forth objections in a series of notes.
 The council has refused to consider the note sent by the Germans regard ing international labor legislation and in g, lengthy note states the reasons why such consideration is not given. The councils belief that the terms of the treaty met the objects the Ger mans profess to desire Is set forth, and the defects in the German plan are pointed out.
 Vigorous measures that will be an immediate result of refusal of the Germans to sign the peace treaty have been planned by the council Marshal Foch, c9tef of the Allied armies, is now on the Rhine front and dispatches state that he will take such action as is neces- sary in the event of the failure of the enemy to sign the treaty
 An immediate economic blockade of Germany is also planned as part of the program in case continued hostile action against the enemy Is considered necessary.
 The Austrian peace mission Is now on hand at St. Germaine-en-Laye near Paris, having arrived Wednes- day night, and the belief in some quarters is that the peace terms the delegates will be asked to sign will be presented them within a week, possibly within three or four days. The Adriatic question, which has so important a bearing on the Austrian treaty, has not yet been adjusted. however, and this fact may serve to delay the presentation of the terms
 Meanwhile there are reports that strong Italian forces have been land ed at the ports of Zara and Sebenico, on the Dalmatian coast between Plume and Spalato These forces are said to have moved inland and to be fortifying strategic points.

| nouncement as the one made by MT Williams this morning would be given to the press unless plans had neared completion.
 It is estimated the advent of the Willys-Overland company to this city will mean employment for at least 10000 men and women. It will make Bridgeport without question the largest city in Connecticut and will add to the claim of it being the greatest manufa curing city in the country.
 While it was generally runored for many months that the Remington plant would be taken over for other purpose. no hint of the coming of the Willys- Overland Co. had been heard. The Ford company, a shoe factory, the making of cash registers and many other commodities had been placed In the runaor list for Remington city. But Willys- Overland will be to the people in general a complete surprise. The great Remington plant was erected in 1915 strictly for the
