The work is being rushed 50 that the
new cars can be used within the next

REPUBLICANS
 ARE CONFIDENT
Firm Belief in Victory For All John T.'s
 Issues.

Full of optimism and good spirits Bridgeport's Republicans started at various times today for New Haven to attend the state convention there this evening and tomorrow. Conf dence of the victory of all the King issues predominated in the City Hall today and from John T." himself down through to the lesser lights cer- tainty of victory exuded from every pore.
 While the convention will probably not be as wet as it has in previous years and while the victors in the coming fight may not celebrate as in days gone by, there seems to be a prevalent opinion that the absence of fire water will to great extent be replaced by fireworks" in the con vention itself.
 Besides the delegates that are scheduled to attend the convention approximately 30 staunch and ardent Republicans plan attending the meet ing filling dual capacities-as spec tators and as moral supporters" A pleasant time is expected by all.

COMMITTEE TO
 MAKE DECISION
Will Hard Coal Miners Stay At Work After
 April 1.

New York, March 23-The general scale committee, representing the an thracite mine workers met here to- ray to decide whether ihe hard coal diggers will remain at work on April 1, pending the negotiation of a new wage agreement. The operators have asked the mine workers to remain in the mines after March 31 when the present contract expires.
 Union leaders predicated before go- ing into session that the men would not remain at work unless the mine owners agreed to make any wage in crease retroa ctive to the expiration date of the present contract. The operators are understood to oppose any such arrangement on the grounds that any wage advance will have to be made up by raising the price of coal. They contend that coal prices cannot be made retroactive and they would suffer "tlosses.'E
 Approximately 17O,o0o coal work CTS in three anthracite mining dis tricts of Pennsylvania would be affect ed by an order to suspend work.

DEFENSE RESTS
 IN JONES CASE

New Haven, March 23-Unexpect- edly, the defense in the case of Will liam M. Jones, charged with the mur- der of Mrs. Esther Hopcroft rested this afternoon. Attorneys for Jones insisted upon the introduction of a stained cloth as an exhibit claiming that it was a portion of a sheet which already had been offered by the state. Objection was made and argument followed while the jury was out. MT. Walsh, for Jones, claimed that the hem on the cloth proved that it was off the sheet.
 After arguments Judge Greene said that there was not sufficient connec- ton established between the sheet and the piece of cloth and excluded the latter. The piece of cloth, it ap- peared, had been taken from a hen coop in the yard. State Attorney AL ling then moved to exclude as irrel- evant all the testimony of witness es for the defense which had to do with this piece of cloth.
 The jury was called in and addi- tional evidence in behalf of Jones off, fered. The defense rested and the state began a rebuttaL Shortly after, owing to the death of William F. Pal mer, g brother-in-law of a juror, c w. Reynolds, the jury was excused until tomorrow.
