Ullman, of New Haven, chairman of the mems Republican ratification committee on suffrage and chairman of the resolutions commit tee at the recent Republican State convention, a letter written him by Governor Holcomb under date of March 31, in which the governor re- plies to the arguments made before him by Colonel Ullman and others at the capital the day before in favor of a special session of the legislature to
 act upon the suffrage amendment Colonel Ullman and party at that time presented resolutions adopted by the State convention calling for a special session on the ground that there ex- isted special emergency.

 "One of the provisions of our con stitution is intended to prevent hasty
 action and I find no justified ! ton for converting a special session. g 1 (Continued on Page Six.)

RUNCEES' ARE AGAIN IN COURT Couple Unable to Agree As To Custody of Chil-
 dren.

The matrimonial troubles of At torney William c. Rungee, former member of the General Assembly from Greenwich, and Adeline Husted- Rungee, member of a wealthy Green Wich family, will be aired in the Su- perior Court next Tuesday, when twa divorce suits brought by the couple are assigned for trial. In the suit brought by the lawyer he alleges de- sertion and the wife, in her action, charges cruelty.
 Because of the prominence of the couple in Greenwich society and the bitterness of feeling displayed or both sides it is expected that the proceedings will be startling in thei1 nature.
 A number of conferences have been held with an idea of settling the cases out of court but the couple have been unable to agree upon the question of custody of two minor children. Mrs. Rungee has them nov but her husband claims she does no; give him a fair opportunity to sex them

 Truck.

While playing on the dump at the street, about 10 o'clock this morn ing, Frank Morella, 13, of 546 Harral avenue, was run down and probably fatally injured by an automobile truck driven by Daniel Jennett, of 200 Jackson avenue The boy is now in St Vincent's hospital where his con- dition is said to be extremely crfi- cal.
 According to the story told the po- lice, Jennett drove his truck into the dump this morning, and noticed two boys playing near the spot The youngsters came up to the front of the machine, and Jennett then turned the truck around and backed it up. He says that he felt the rear wheel strike something, but at the time he thought it was a rock. The front wheel then passed over the object, and a few seconds later Jennett saw the boy lying on the ground.
 The driver rushed the youngster to the Emergency hospital, and from there he was taken to St. Vincent's hospital. He is suffering from a ruptured lung and it is not expected that he will recover. Jennett was arrested this morning on a charge of reckless driving. but this will be changed to mansiaughter in case ot the death of young Morel1a-

DID NOT KNOW
 haHN ALLOTTED
Coroner Seeking More Wit nesses To Fatal
 Accident.

That he did not know Michael De- Nos aighted from the jitney was the testimony today of Bladimir Osadach, 631 StiIlman street. who drove the jit- ney on April last when DeNos was I-ilIed at State street and West ave nue. This testimony was given before Coroner Phelan when an inquiry into the death of DeNos was started. Osa- dach said he was looking straight ahead ana did not know anything about the accident until passengers shouted to him.
 Passengers testified that DeNos arose when near the corner of West avenue. He was preparing to get of
 when he suddenly pitched forward to the street, as if his foot had caught in something. None of the passengers heard DeNos ring the bell for the driver to stop. He died April from fractured skull caused by his sud- den fall to the pavement. There were several other jitney passengers who saw the fatality and Coroner Phelan would like to have them communicate with him.
 Osadach was arraigned in city court today and his case continued one week.

The people have been bamboozled into re- Iinqtdsaling all effective control over distribution and prices of food and fuel and they have been made to ap- pear to clamor for the return to pri- Sate management of the railroads, the telegraph and telephone lines and the radio stations. Congress instead of formulating a progressive, construc- live program to restore industries and especially agriculture to Q stable peace time condition, is pursuing the policy of "Scuttle, with most un- happy results
