CONN, CD. TO GIVE DUE
 WARNING OF CHANGES
Further Than That President Storrs Has No Com
 ment to Make.

New Haven, July 2S.-President Storrs of the Connecticut Co.,, today declined to comment on the trolley conditions in the state following conference of five division managers. which, it was reported, had con- sidered the matter of cessation of service in New Haven, and Waterbury. When asked if such a suspension of car service was in view MT. Storrs said that none would be made without due notice to the community which would be affected.
 Mayor Fitzgerald called upon MT. Storrs for a discussion of the local trolley -jitney conditions, and it is understood that the trolley company is ready to make available to the al- dermanic committee which is examin- ing conditions, the financial accounts of the company. It is further con- tended by the trolley management, it IS understood, that whatever success the Jltneys may be having in handling the Bridgeport traffic is due to the fact that motor vehicles have been dl avn from other places, and cessation of trolley service in other places would leave the latter without adequate means of transportation.

U. s. TAKES ACTION
 IN MEXICAN CASE
State Department Sends Note of urgent Nature|' IicgardiHg Kid mapping of American.

Washington. July 2S.-Tlepresenta- tions described today at the state de- partment as of an urgent nature" have been made to the Mexican gov- ernment as a result of the Kidnapping of Carl Haeglin. an American citizen, by Francisco Villa several days ago.
 The Mexican authorities have been asked through the American en- bassy at Mexico City to take all steps possible to effect the release of the prisoner, who was taken from Sa- binas, Coahuila, and who is reported to be held for ransom.
 Officials appear not to be particu- larly worried over Haeglin's safety as several other Americans taken by the bandit chief have been held for only brief periods, Villa explaining that his only motive was to obtain at first hand information of outside affairs and sometimes to force them to act as the bearers of his messages. In no case has he exacted a ransom.
