 B YEARS AGO

Drawn 5s years ago in Easton. the will of Charlotte A. Gray, who died July A, 1867, was offered for probate today in the office of Probate Judge Paul L. Miller by James H.

 Tn another daughter, Eliza IS. Smith were left similar articles, including her also a. brass spittoon. A son. Wal ter T., received a nah hogany desk and a silver tablespoon while another son, Robert S., receives spoon and a pie ture.
 To her husband, Henry Gray, the ! deceased left the-life use of her horse, her houses and land, her travelling trunk and a coat, vest and pants for merly the property of James Gray. Witnesses to the deed, which was drawn July 27, 1867, were Eli Wake man, Coley M. Abbott and Abigail Dayton.

WORKERS
 APPEAL TO MANAGERS
Seek Restoration to Duty No DiscriTnina-
 ton.

New York, April 23-Str1king rail- road workers in the New York dis trict appealed directly to the railroad managers today for restoration to duty and settlement of the strike "in the public interest,"
 Edward McHugh, chairman of the executive committee of the strikers, sent a letter by messenger to J. J. Mante1l, chairman of the general managers association, declaring the public demands the immediate re- sumption of railway traffic and we submit for your approval the follow ing:
 Our immediate restoration to duty without discrimination and with full seniority rights, in order to relieve the wheels of industry
 The latter recalled the strikers re- quest for extension of the managers ultimatum which reserved the right to reject applicants for re-empIoy- nent who had proved ''unfitness for service" and added:
 we made this request with the fact in view that the public which has been innocently dragged into this controversy should have due con- sideration.

NO LEGAL RIGHT TO ATTACH CASH Bishop Attorney Wants
 Action Declared
 Void.

Claiming that Blanca West Bish- op of this city had no legal right to attach $200,0OO worth of cash and securities belonging to William D. Bishop of New Haven, Attorney Ja- cob B. Klein this morning in the Su- perior Court asked that the attach ment be declared void.
 Attorney Klein declared no money was asked for in the divorce action brought by Mrs. Bishop. He said she was entitled only to an order for a weekly allowance. He said it was unjust to garnishee Bishops money in all the banks in this city and New Haven. He also claimed the con- tents of Bishops safe deposit box in a local bank had been attached.
 Attorney F. E. Morgan, counsel for Mrs. Bishop, denied the safe deposit contents had been seized. He said the bank officials refused to allow the sheriff to touch the box. Attorney Morgan maintained that his client was legally justified in attaching all her husbands property. Judge Cur tis reserved decision.

LIGHTNING BREAKS ALL WINDOWS IN 2 HOUSES

Lightning played queer stunt this morning at 5:20 o'clock when it struck a house at the intersection of Pe- quonnock and Chestnut streets, rip ped the roof off one side, broke all the windows in the house and then jumped to the adjoining house and broke the windows and ripped off the balcony. Telephone and lighting ser vice was also disrupted.
 The house is owned by Salvador Scippo and the lower floor is occu- pied by a family named Masits. Tn names of the occupants of the upper floor cannot be ascertained as they ran from the house immediately af- ter the lightning struck it and could not be located up to noon.
 Before leaving, the woman on the upper floor, said that she had pro- vided breakfast for her husband at 5 o'clock and had urged him not to go out to his work in the storm but he insisted and left the house. Just af- ter he left she and her IS year old daughter heard a loud noise and saw a great hole in the roof and the lightning pass through the apartment striking the chair in which her hus- band was sitting a few minutes be- fore
 The fire department responded tc the alarm and put out the fire which had started. Crowds of sightseers have visited the premises during the morning.

Se.OOO ROBBERY IN
 POST OFFICE ARCADE

Gaining entrance through a rear door, thieves ransacked the tailor shop of A. R. Harry, 22 Post Office Arcade, sometime last night and escaped with one suit of clothes and material val ued in all at 5000. The Arcade Flow CT Shop was entered also but nothing taken so far as is known.
 The robbery, which is one of the largest that has occurred in Bridge port for some time was first discover ed by the proprietor of the shop when he opened the store this morn ing. Valuable cloth had been taken from benches and tables, and suits were scattered about the floor. It was evident that the burglars made a thorough search and carried off only the most valuable goods.
 How the thieves gained entrance to the store was at first a, mystery. Both the front and rear doors were locked, but upon a close investigation it was discovered that a bolt on the back door had been broken from it's fast enings and was lying on the floor. The marauders evidently forced the lock off from the outside and then slipped back catch lock. When they left the store the rear door closed and the lock snapped automatically.
 It is believed that the burglars used a motor truck or some other sort of vehicle in removing the stolen cloth.

WOULD NOT LET
 WIFE 60 SHOPPING

That her husband pointed a re- volver at her because she wished to go shopping, was the story told by Emma Bernhardt of Fairfield in the Superior Court this morning when she was granted a divorce from Fred c. Bernhardt. who conducts a musical studio in this city. The wife, a very attractive young woman, said her husband also threw dishes at her when he was angry at her.
 The wife testified that inasmuch as Bernh hardt refused to pay the rent or support her, she was compelled td leave him. Another witness said she had seen Bernhardt chase his wife with butcher knife and had heard him call Mrs. Bernhardt vile names. The Bernhafdts were married May 2, 1915. Judge Curtis allowed the wife a decree on the ground of intolerable cruelty.

News Of Amundsen
 After 1O Months

Nome Alaska. April 93----(By The A. P)-Captain RoaId Amundsen, dis coverer of the south pole, has arriv- ed at Anadir, a trading post on the Behring Sea, easter1 Siberia, accord ing to a wireless message from Ana dir. received here last night. The despatch gave no details other than suggesting that the explorer had reached the village in a ship.
 For more than 19 months the si- lence of polar seas have shrouded the vessel that bore Roald Amundsen and his shiprnates in their strange endeavor to reach the north pole.
 Amundsen's vessel, the Maud, took on oil at Dixson Island in the White Sea about September 1, 1918, and soon after sailed off to the northeast through the rapidly freezing arctic. It was the explorers plan to drive the ship as far northward as he could, then to lodge her in the ice and per init her to be dragged along with the eneromous floeS.
 Studies of Arctic ice had been made by Amundsen, who believed his ship would be carried around the northern

 tee.

c. Dudley Mills. veteran of the world war and member of one of Bridgeport's oldest families, was the defendant in divorce proceedings brought by Carolyn Weir Mills, a re- port on which was filed today in the Superior Court. The report of At torney Charles s. Garfield. appointed by the court as a committee to hear testimony, recommended divorce for Mrs. Mills on the ground of in- temperance. Judge Curtis accepted the report.

'''NO CHARGES THAT

WHO IS BILL

Mayor Wilson, who refuses to talk at all about the vice raids to local newspaper people, seems to talk very freely to out of town newspapers. One Marggy Rex came to see him, for New York newspaper. and he talked freely, if he is rightly quoted. He even talked with abandon, and with a large appreciation of his relationship to the universe. The interview was accompanied with a really beautiful picture of his honor. Margery wasn't interested in the mayor only, she wrote the following:
 EEI thought it was the most direct and sinpie,' he replied, and that brings back the story of the man who wanted ito see Bill about something"
