HAVE ARRESTED MEN
 BELIEVED GUILTY
 OF MANY H0LDUPS
TAKEN YESTERDAY HAD BIG ARMY REVOLVER READY FOR INSTANT USE-TWO BOUND OVER TO HIGH
 COURT JNRER HEAVY BONDS

As the result of excellent work on the part of Detective Sergeants Wheeler and Simon,
 Detectives Malone and Kane, and Sergeant Frank Virelli, of the State police, the authorities have succeeded in rounding up a gang of men who are believ-
 ed to be responsible for the numerous hold-ups which have recently occurred in Bridge
 port.
 Three men who are now being held
 as directly connected with the rob-
 berries are Masha Vilcherie, of Good
 win street, William Nichols, of 3s
 Walter street and Giuseppe Calabria,
 of A Booth street.
 The arrests of Vilcherie and Gala
 bria were made yesterday afternoon,
 the seizure of the latter being rather
 spectacular. The officers were look
 ing for their man on the East Side
 and came upon him in East Main
 street. He was approached from all
 sides and had no chance to offer re- sistence Attached to Calabria S
 belt was a .45 calibre army revolver, fully loaded and ready for action. Vilcherie was % arrested in Stratford by officers who were hunting for Cal aibria-
 Nichols, who was arrested last F,r1- day, and Ca1abria seem to be the most important members of the gang. Nichols has been identified by An thony SIosser, of 1061 Barnum ave- nue, as the man who held him up on the night of April 27. Calabria has been recognized by Tony Markis, of Ho1lister court, as the man who robbed him at the point of revolver in front of the American & British Co.'S plant in Crescent avenue, Sum day night. A watch and a fountain pen owned by SIosser were discovered in Nichols possession, and watch owned by Markis was found in Gala bria's clothes last night.
 The poice have not connected vil- | cherie directly with any of the hold | ups as yet, but will question the man i this afternoon. He is known to be
 intimate with Nichols and Calabriat 1 In the City Court this morning 1 Vilcherie and Calabria were both | charged with breach of thespeace in- vestigation. As ipe the case of Nich- o1s, yesterday the cases were con- i tlnueo unte June l, under ponds or s2,Qoe.
 i Two other persons, Paul VitaIe, of 1 35 Ha1lett street, and Margaret De l Fago, of 227 Colorado avenue, are also i held by the police in connection with l the same investigation. The DeFago girl was arrested last Thursday. and l VitaIe was taken into custody yester- 1 day morning. It is alleged that the l couple have been living together as ! man and wife, although no wedding | ceremony has been performed. They | have a marriage license.

MAYOR STILL DELAYS SIGNING City Attorney Has No Of hcial Notice of Salary
 Grab.

So far Mayor Wilson has not signed the ordinance that calls for an annual salary of S9O0 for members of the Board of Aldermen 1and he has not taken the matter up with City Attor- ney Comley, according to the city at- torney this morning, who said if it hadn't been for the newspapers he would not have known anything about it. Mir Comley would not express an opinion on the ordinance, saying that he has not been asked by anyone ex- cept the newspapers and he was un- der no obligation when he had not been officially notified of such an or dinance.
 Alderman and Attorney Edward J McManus says that unless the move is made to have the new ordinance question settled under the home rule act, no public hearing on the salary ordinance will be held. No formal protest or request that the question be taken up has been filed yet, according to the alderman.

SENATOR CLASS
 OPPOSES BONUS
Says Millions of Ex-Sol diers Never Got To
 Europe.

Bristol. Va, May 26.---Senator Car ter Glass of Virginia, former Secre- tary of the Treasury, stated he. was opposed to "an indiscriminate. bonus to ex-soldiers'' in a letter to w. O.. Came, vice president of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce, answering a
 message in which the chamber urged that the senator oppose the present
 soldier relief bill.
 In his letter Senator Glass stated: You may be sure that I have not the slightest intention of voting for the bonus for ex-sohdiers and sailors. The gov vernment of the United States should be not only just but generous to the last degree in its attitude to-
 ward those men who were disabled in the service or whose health was inn
 paired and also to the dependents ot those other brave men who lost their lives in the war; but in these days of readj just1nent with the people bearing the most extraordinary tax burdens
 since the world was created, I think it would be a frightful misuse and
 abuse of power for Congress to vote an indiscriminate bonus to able-bodied ex-soldiers millions of whom did not get within 5000 miles of Europe. At
 all events I shall not be a party to inn posing any such additional burden upon the people"

BOARD CONSIDERS
 WAGE DEMANDS
Trolleymen Will Go on Working Pending
 Settlement.

New Haven, Conn.,, May 26-Mem- bers of the joint conference board of the Trolleymen's Unions of the Con- necticut Company's system met with John K. Punderford, Vice President and General Manager, here today, to formally take up consideration of wage schedules and working condi- tions asked by the men of the com pany. The present wage scale is a graduated one based on length of service and other conditions, from A 10 50 cents an hour. Local condi- tions have also had a. bearing upon the compensation men have received
 The tro1leymen have asked for a general scale of 75 cents an hour ir- respective of whether an employe is a new or a veteran one. The new wage scale desired would cover the entire system. The present agree ment will expire June 1. Since it was drawn the public service vehicle and the one-man safety car so-called have come into use, the former to an in- creasingly large extent. and the lat ter to a considerable number in the cities. Some local unions are anx- ious to have the compensation for motor man-conductors fixed at S1 an hour flat by reason of the amount of work involved under the new zone system.
 Opinions and desires of local un- ions went to the joint conference board which, it is understood has made a definite demand. Just what the terms in it are have not been officially stated. Discussions are ex- pected to extend throug-. at least a fortnight, and while they are on it is not expected that any statement will he If ioio firSt session today was a preliminary one when it was understood the board demand upon the company was pre- scented in a form upon which the con ference could be begun. The trolley men will continue working after June 1 as at present leaving all ne- gotiationS with the board.
