NEW FARE
 RATE CUTS
 PATRONAGE
Jitneys Report Increases of
 4O9i on All Their Lines.

The result of the first weeks trial of the ten cent fare in this city has been a decreased patronage of the trolley car and an increase in the riding on the jitneys.
 At the office of the Bus association it was stated that the jitney patron age had increased about 40 per cent. on all lines during the week and that the business was increasing each day.
 Even on the New Haven and Bridgeport line where the trolley charge for the full distance is the same as the jitney charge, there haa been an increase
 This is explained by the longer time that the trip takes by trolley and the fact that the ten cent fare makes the charge to Walnut Beach 20 cents while the jitney charge to the same place is only , cents. Tse fare to Devon and Milford cen ter are the same, 10 cents to Devon and 20 cents to Milford, but the trolley takes an hour to Milford . while the jitney takes a half hour.

SHORTACET TO BEOVER BY

Believe Normal Condition in Coal Supply Will Be in
 Effect By, That Time.
B&LEE ELIiMAKER.

Washington Nov. 6-Eforts of the Interstate Commerce Commission and the coal operators to create a normal condition in the coal supply of the country have been successful and be- fore the 1st of January, the fear of coal shortage will have passed, off, cials here today declared.
 In the issuance of the Great Lakes and the New England coal priority or ders, representatives of the wholesale coal dealers declare, the commission exceeded it's authority. It may be said that it is not believed that the commission again intends to direct the routes of any other commodity except in a time of dire necessity.
 The commission in addition to the Coal priority orders has issued orders granting priority in the furnishing of coal cars for certain districts. Ac- cording to both operatorse and the railroads the result of these car prior ity orders has been to increase pro- duction as well as the tonnage of the railroads.
 During the last three weeks bitu- minous coal production has exceed ed 12.OOO,0OO tons Aeek For last week the figure will go over the 12,- 0O0,000 mark and may set a record except for the production during sev- eral weeks of the war.

MCGOVcrn Firm
 In His DcnialS
 Despite Chilling
Police Not Inclined to Believe His Story Find Flatiron at Me Govern Home Which Might Have Been Murder Weapon.

"If I was to beh anged tomorrow, I could not change the statement l made to you about the manner m which the woman met her death,' said Edward J. McGovern to Captain Of Detectives John H. Began following a grilling of the prisoner in his ofhce at police headuarters this noon.
 This statement made by McGovern, who is being held by the police in con- ncction with the death of Mrs. Mary Lapocka of 301 Bostwick avenue, who was found dead in bed in room at McGovern's home at 59.Cherry street early Wednesday morning, supports the second version told by McGoVern to the police in the mysterious death of the woman and the police are stlil baffled as to the murder, if It was murder, as to how the woman died:
 The police are not inclined to be- lieve the story and believe that Me Govern quarreled with the woman and struck her, though the motive and the time when the blow Was struck is still a mystery. The po- band of the woman from all con nection with the alleged murder saying he has established an alibi to all his movements preceding the death of his former wife. It Was learned today that a flat iron which was found in the home of McGovern might have been used to strike the blow which killed the woman.
 On October 26th, according to the records at police headquarters, Mrs. Lapoczka filed a complaint with the Bureau of Missing Persons, the old vice squad, that her husband, John Iapoczka, had threatened to kill her, she bringing gun to headquartefs which she took from the home of her divorced husband in Fairfield. At the inquest held by Coroner John J. Phelan yesterday no new light was thrown on the mystery and the inquest was postponed indefinitely for further police investigation.
 McGovern was arraigned in the City court this morning and is still being held on a technical charge of breach of the peace for further investigation lThe case will come up again on Mo- lvember IS. He appeared uncon- !cerned in the court room this morn ing and was seen to smile once o' twice with fellow prisoners in the pen
 Since telling his second story to thu police about the woman falling tt her death from out the window @' has appeared to take his confinemvh as a matter of course and despite the grilling by the police he Stil stoIidfly maintains that he did no kill the woman
 Lapoczka, divorced husband of th' woman has been paying her butcher
 bill up until about two weeks befor'
 the murder and is said to have visit

 nue place repeatedly. The police arr still firm in their belief that McGov

ACCUSE BRITISH.

Dublin, Nov. 6-Despite the an- nouncement by Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secretary for Ireland, that stern punishment is being administered to stop reprisal attacks by the auxiliary
 (the Black and Tans) Arthur. Griffith, Sim Fein member of Parliament and acting president of the Irish Republic today charged the British government with full responsibility for the atroci- ties that have followed the funeral of Terence MacSwiney. Griffith ac- cused the British police and soldiers of 'frightfulness' that surpassed the outrages of the Germans in Belgium
 during the war. His statement in full follows:
 "The English parliament by re- fusing an inquiry into the atrocities it's governments forces are commit ting in Ireland convicts the British government of instigating and direct ing them.
 ernment's spokesmen to pretend that
 these atrocities are reprisals can de.
 ceive no one who has been in Ire

 petrated in Ireland are part of a cal |sculated plan made by the English
 ministry some time ago in the vain hope of breaking the spirit and will of the Irish nation.

The restraint witt | which this policy was endured did no avail to abate it's rigors and as time passed, repression became more bru | tai. It was calculated and provoca | tive.
