10 ALLEGED REDS TAKEN
 TO HARTFORD

Ten alleged reds taken here in the raid last Friday on a house where quantities of fred" literature were found, were taken to Hartford today by Department of Justice off, cials who arrived this morning.
 The reds will appear shortly be- fore Immigration Bureau officials and
 s':tnd examination as to reasons why they should not be deported. None of those taken in the raid are Amer ican citizens which renders all liabIa to deportation.
 Search by Department of Justice of ficials after the raid disclosed the place where the infammab1e litera- ture. was printed but the Department of Justice Investigations determine the fact that the owner of the print ing establishment was in entire ignor- ance of the nature to which his plant was put.
 Those getting out the pamphlets hired the shop outright and had their own operator to set up the matter, their own men also attending to the printing of it. For this reason no steps have been taken against the proprietor of the printing establish ment.
 During the two and one-half days that the radicals were jailed at police headquarters, relatives and friends of the men besieged the building for the purpose of visiting the prisoners and ] asking aid for families which are in ! distress.
 1 This morning the wife of B. J. 1 Hucul, one of the men taken in the
 raid, appeared at headquarters with four small children and demanded aid
 for herself and family. She stated 1 that she had no money and there was no food in the house for the little ones. The woman was referred to the Char 1 ities Department, but was not allowed 1 to see her husband. The police were l called upon to handle similar cases yesterday.

Berlin, Feb. 9-The commit tee on foreign affairs of the national assembly will meet today to consider the extradi- tion question. It seems inn probable that a reply will be made to the entente demand for the surrender of the Ger mans whose names are con- tained in the list recently de- livered until a response is re- ceived by the German govern ment to it's note of January 25.
 Gin this note Germany asked the Allies to renounce the execution of the extradition article of the peace treaty, e affirming that 1t would inevitably cause political and economic troubles, the alternative being proposed that the trial of the persons involved be held in Germany with the participation of Allied represenatives-)
 The newspapers declare unani- mously that the attitude of the gov ernment toward the extradition ques- ton is unchanged.
 The association, of German regular soldiers carried out a big demonstra- ton here yesterday against accept ance of the extradition demand. Simi- lar demonstrations were held in the provinces.

HEAVY LIST 0F
 ABSENTEES AS SCHOOLS REOPEN
2533 Pupils Absent and 36 Teachers Miss
 ing

Bridgeport schools reopened this morning with a heavy list of ab- senteess among the teachers and pu- pills. Up to noon all but five schools had reported at the office of the Board of Education and figures then showed 2,533 pupils absent and 36 teachers. The afternon session of the high school was not included as well as the three other largest schools in the city, Lincoln, Shelton and Columbus.
 At high school 10 members of the faculty were out with sickness and IFS pupils. When the schools closed last
 Wednesday there were 94 teachers on the sick list and 2,900 pupils absent The closing on Thursday and Friday, with the added two days of the week end helped materially in restoring the teaching faculties to their normal standard.
 It is evident from the large absent
 roll among pupils that parents are
 still cautious about sending their children to school. When the full re- port is turned in late this afternoon officials predicted this morning tha last Wednesdays mark will lbe passed by several hundred.
 The Board of Education will hold it's regular monthly business meeting in the offices in the First-Bridgeport National Bank building tonight Int problem of the shortage of teachers
 and absence of pupils will probabl, i come up for discussion. It was ru I mored ths morning that Judge Dillon 1 who was appointed by Mayor Wilson ! to make a survey of the schools, vii | read his report.
 Mayor Wilson was expected to ap pear before the board tonight with hi | sealed report from the New Yorl l auditors, but his presence at th'

Pneumonia has secured the upper-hand in the present epi- demic of sickness now raging in Bridgeport according to ob- servations made by pr. Walter Brown, health officer, and Dr. H. Winthrop Pyle, the commit tee appointed by the Medical association to keep the city in formed as to the spread of the disease and the best methods of combating it.
 Figures compiled today show 37 new cases, which increased the total number of victims to 11S0. Dr. Brown attributes the slight decline in ''f1u'' cases to the sudden turn in flu weather and the manner in which the people of the city are taking up the fight to wipe it out.
 Only one death was reported at the department this morning. It is prob cured, because the undertakers and physicians do not send in death cer- tifcates on Sunday.
 In discussing the epidemic this morning, Dr. Brown said:
 Although there has been a slight drop in the number of influenza cases, persons must not relax at this time. The recent rise in pneunonia is sufficient to make everyone adhere more strictly to the preventive meas. ures laid down by the Medical asso- citation and the Health Department
