OPENING ACT GOOD.

1t ISIS eldom that the opening act of
a vaudeville show turns out to be one
of the features of the bill, but this
is the case at Polls theatre the last
half of the present week. The new
bill which opened yesterday compares
favorably with the best bills seen in
Bridgeport. Jim and Hughie O'Don-
nell who open the show are comedy
acrobats. The younger member Of
the team is a erem child, in fact not
mich more than a baby. but his per-
Torrance on the stage would indicate
that he isa real twentieth century
marvel.
Vlasta Mas1ova & Co. presenting
THE Sheperd's Dream, a dancing act
Of exceptional beauty went big at
each performance. The bill is well
rounded out by Ryan and Bronson,
Rives and Arnold and Guilty and Mel
son.
Pauline Frederick in 1.-The Pa1iser
Case" is at her best in a picture that
grips the attention from start to fin

COURT DECIDES
FOR JOHN r.

Under a decision by Judge Frank D.
Haines in the Superior Court yester-
day sustaining a demurrer entered by
counsel for John T. King in the suit
brought by J. Moss Ives, receiver fof
the Danbury & Bethel Railway, the
case against King is virtually disposed
Of on the ground that there is no valid
cause for action against King
Judge Haines decided that Kings
obligation when he made the sub
scription to stock of the Bridgeport &
Danbury Electric Railway Co., still is
if any to furnish money for the needs
of the corporation itself and to meet
the obligations and creditors of that
company.
No call was made for Kings sub
scription, Judge Haine finds, and the
Bridgeport & Danbury after the in
corportion and before the receivership
of the Danbury & Bethel sold to the
latter al its property. This property
inOln1ed all stock subscriptions. The
Dan bury & Bethel agreed to pay all
debts Of the Bridgeport & Danbury
and sought to get the stock sufbscrip-
tons. to pay these obligations. There
are still unpaid debts" said Judge
Haines, 'and if King were to pay in
his stock subscription for the benefit
of the receiver of the Danbury &
Bethel then the fund to which the I'M
paid creditors of the Bridgeport &
Danbury line might look for payment
would be gone
when the Danbury & Bethel agreed
to pay the debts of the Bridgeport &
EanAury it had no claim on King. It
has not yet paid them but asks the
court to compel King to furnish them
the money with which to carry out
their agreement, and all which King
could then ask would be the stock of
the latter company which it is alleged
has ceased to carry on the business
which it proposed to do when he sub
Scribed for the stock.

 Polish Delegation.
BRITISH LABOR PLEASED
Russ Declaration Tn Favor Of Polish Independence
 Hailed With Joy.

LONDON, Aug. 20.--The opposi- tion of British labor to assistance in the war against Russia was voiced today with unanimity at'a confertnce representing all elements of the workers. Resolutions adopted "hail- ed with satisfaction the. Russian government declaration in favor of the, complete independence of Poland and pledged the British labor party to resist any form of military in- tervention.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. = (By the Associated Press)-A plebiscite to determine the future of Russian Poland is one of the peace terms drawn up by the Bolsheviki coinci- dent with the first proposal of an armistice by the Polish government. The right of unrestricted propa- ganda in this territory during the year intervening before the plebis- cite would be demanded.
 Drastic Peace Terms.
 Those and other terms in peace which are believed to have been formulated for submission at the meeting between the soviet and Pol ish emissaries, were received in off, ficial circles. While not regarded as final, the terms are accepted here as illustrative of the intention of the invaders to impose peace conditions of drastic nature.
 The other terms include the right of the Soviet government to unre- strictcd transmission of all code messages across Poland into Russia and Germany, the turning over of salt and coal mines in Poland for operation by the Soviet government and the right of unrestricted travel for all Soviet nationals across the Polish frontiers without Polish wise on passports.
 Plebiscite Obnoxious.
 The provision for a plebiscite in the portion of Poland formerly be- longing to Russia and the stipula- lion that the Bolshevik be granted permission to disseminate propa- ganda in that territory is viewed by officials as likely to be obnox- ious to the Poles. The granting of such demand would, officials here say. result in the loss to the War. saw government of Russian Poland. for all Polish national feeling in that region, it is considered would be plotted out by the Bolsheviki propaganda. Officials were inclined to believe that the peace terms submitted at Minsk are more severe than those prepared for the Baranovitch con- ference which ended abruptly when the Polish armistice emissaries re- piled they had no authority to con- clude peace.
