 - STATEMENT OF
 PREMIER MYTH

Paris, Jan. 22.---Italy will demand Of France and England the carrying out of the treaty of London only when all other means of settling the Adri- atic question have been tried and found futile, according to a statement made by Premier Nitti to a represent ative of the Echo de Paris The cor respondent accompanied the Italian premier from this city to Nice, and was told by Signor Nitti that his trip to Rome was brought about solely by the railrioad strike in Italy.
 t'The reply of the Jugo Slav govern ment to thenote of the supreme coun- cil relative to conflicting claims on the eastern shores of the Adriatic does not satisfy us,' the premier is quoted as saying, but we have gone to the exereme limit in making concessions.
 '"The world should realize that for the sake of Plume we reaounce Da1- matia, which was given to us by ths pact of London. We hope that, after a few days further rel ection, the Jugo-Slavs will send an acceptable answer. This new people is in the course of formation and the exagger- ated impulsiveness characteristic GE youth is naturally present, but we are anxious to consider the Jugo- -Slavs friends They and we occupy the greater part of the Adriatic coast and
 have mutual interests. I wish to ia.
 cilitate these relations. We will find an agreement. It must be found. We will demand execution of the London pact only at the last extremity" Premier Nitti expects to return to Paris soon to resume his work in the 1 peace conference.

RENTS
 ARE RAISED IN
 REMINGTON CITY
New Realty Go. Buys Build ings Built to House War
 Workers.

Tenants, in the houses known as Remington City were surprised when they received by mail Monday morn ing an announcement that the prop erty had been sold to the East End Realty company and were shocked when they read further down in the letter that the new owners had de. cided to raise the rent.
 These houses are what is known as the new development and are houses that were built during the war to ac. commodate the large number of work. men who had been brought here for the Remington Arms, U. M c. Co.,
 Edward D. Beach, general manager off the East End Realty company, said this morning that the company was a new corporation organized under the laws of Connecticut and that the stockholders are non-residents.
 They had purchased all of the real estate holdings of the Arms company and they had raised the tenants be- cause they believed that the accom- modations even at the increased rent were greater for than any other in the city of Bridgeport.
 The rents that were $20 a month were raised to S25; those that were $19 were raised to $21 and $22.
 The company had no intention o1 profteering and MT. Beach said thai the houses were renting for a great deal less than those of the Bridge port Housing Company. MT. Beact was formerly in charge of the req estate of the Remington Arms Com. f. pany.

NORWALK POLICE SEEK ID OBTAIN
 WAGE INCREASE
Member of Fore Has Brought Suit Against City
 In High Court.

The question of whether members of the Norwalk police department are to get an increase in pay will be fought out at the trial of the suit brought by John L. Roberts, a member of the force, against the City of Norwalk. In papers filed today in the Superior court the city is asked to provide the money for the proposed increase.
 It is stated that in September, 1918, the Aldermen of Norwalk passed an ordinance increasing the pay of pa tro1men from 1925 to $3.75 a day and of sergeans from s3.T5 to $4.25 day.
 This increase has never been paid, the complaint states. The city of Norwalk claims the increase was not paid because the Board of Apportion- ment cannot spend more than the amount it has on hand and it is claimed that there was not a sufficient amount of funds available to pay the extra stipend.
 The entire police department of Norwalk is back of the present action and Roberts was named as plaintiff because his name was drawn.

ASSERTS ACTION AGAINST RADICALS
 PURELY POLITICS
Statement Made By Presi- dent Hopkins of
 Dartmouth.

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 22-In an ad- dress at the dinner of the Dartmouth Club of Hartford, at the University CluN last night, President Ernest M Hopkins, of Dartmouth College, de- clared that ''the present activities against alien radicals in this country is purely political byplay to enhance the political aspirations of the at- torney general"
 Dr. Hopkins arraigned the govern ment campaign against the Bolshe' vists and other radicals and supple. mented it with bitter criticism of the policy of the United States toward Russia.
 Certain people" he said, "sre at- tempting to make reputation for conservatism. As a result their cen sorship and propaganda have been actively at work to such an exten: that freedom of thought and speech such as tho constitution of the Unit ed States expressly guarantees, are impossible
 President Hopkins declared that many of the war powers granted the government were still being exercised and that the country was living in a period of cenisOrship. "I have every reason to believe, although I cannot prove it, that letters sent me from Russia have been withheld, and I am very sure also that letters to others have not been delivered. Men who have come back from Russia have said that the allied blockade is starving hundreds of Russians who have nothing to do with the soviet government. England has had her eyes opened in this matter before the United States
 People returning from Russia say 1 there are untold food stores there awaiting the lifting of the ban," said Dr. Hopkins. Referring to arrest of alleged reds" the speaker said:- Raids on these alien groups have been made under the guise of ridding the country of people who do not ap- preciate freedom. The spirit behind the arrest of these aliens is somewhat the same as that which produced the know nothing party and the attack or fraternal organizations"
 1 President Hopkins asserted that i was the prevalent belief among Dem ocrats that the raids and deportation! had been made largely to enhance the political aspirations of the attorne. general He said it was all simp1! political by play.
 We seem to be using extreme ueLI ISil1SSS tO tOEef up d feCOEu OL .eA' treme 1eniency" he said. There should have been lots of it earlier ant less Of it now. People talking or street corners just to hear themselve!
 talk are not proper subjects for de lportation Where the country gets ric by this policy of one man who may bt dangerous it creates a hundred more,
 the speaker declared. "If this sort O thing had happened in 1857 Hawthorn
 and Thoreau would probably hav' Ibeen arrested and all of the Shake
 colonies deported- The proposed sedt
 tion act would have kept Carl Schur out of the country.
 President Hopkins said that in hi Iopinion the late war was being fol
 lowed by an attack on economic alb
 solutism, which he believed was il
 force in this country.

 Kolchak. REPORT DRESSINGS IN ARNUR VALLEY

London. Jan. 22.---Supreme control of anti-Bolshevik activities in eastern Siberia has been assumed by General Semenoff, who has been in command of the Siberian forces east of Lake Baikal It is assumed he will attempt to establish a government to succeed that of Admiral kolchall, which seems to have dissolved when it's troops were defeated west of KrasnoyarSk. Ad- miral Kolchak is believed to be under arrest at VeTkhnie- Undinsk, a small town 240 miles west of Irkutsk
 Cossack chiefs and garrison com manders under the direct supervision of General Horvath in Fla stern Siberia have been notified by General Sem enoff of the new regime the latter has set up, but no a,dVices have been re- ceived indicating the mea sure of sup port given it. Reports reflect a, rathe, serious situation at Baikal, Kaltuk- shaia and Misovaia, in trans Raikalia. where Semenoff's soldiers have cIashed with Czecho-Slovak forces. PelHing advices would seem to indicate that General Semenoff has comparatively few troops and materially are appar- gently disorganized.
 Recent official Bolshevik statements have claimed that there had been up- risings in the Amur alley and in the Russian maritime province, north oi VladiVostok.

PERMIT 10 TAKE GIRL NOT ISSUED
 BY PROBATE COURT
Other Children Commit ted to Home-Claim Made Police Depart ment Knows Where Petkowitcz Girl Is Thorn Contends Moral Right to Take Her.

Charges brought against the Charities Department to the effect that they had no court or der to take Julia Petkowitcz from the. home of her step father were sustained today by an examination of the, court records. It is also stated that the police department know where the girl is.
 An examination of the Probate Court records shows that a few weeks ago a hearing was held before Judge Paul L. Miller and two children, An nie and Josephine, were authorized to be committed to the home, as thelr father was unfit person to take charge of them. Two others, twins. Frank and Edward, were ordered taken in charge at the Margaret M. Ford home until they reached an age which would warrant them being sent to a home, but the name of Julia had been scratched from the rec ords.
 When Superintendent of Charities
  ing he stated that he did not know that the case of Julia had not been acted on and then claimed that as long as the court had decided that the father was unable to care prop erly for the other children that ha had no moral or legal right to Ju- lia.
 It was the superintendent's con- tention, carried out by the court records of the hearing, that Julia ] (Jasko) Petkowitcz was born in To- ronto, Ohio, on June II, 1904. It is i then claimed that her father left her mother and was thought to be dead A few years ago Mrs. Jasko went to l live with Joseph Petkowitcz and came l to this city. She had four children l by him before she died a few months l ago.
 At that time Julia was attending | the fourth grade at the Longfellow school, Bostwick avenue, and shortly 1 after her mothers death Julia told Miss Stapletonl principal of the
 school, that she had to remain al t'home to take care of the other chil- ] dren as she was 15, the oldest, and
 the others were merely babies. Ii
 was then that the Charities Depart ment acted and a petition was filed ir | the Probate Court for the reno of the four children and was acted l on by Judge Miller but Julia's name was scratched from the petition and the judge took no action on the mat ter.
 Despite the fact that Julia was 1t and entitled to be heard as to whom she selected as her legal guardian both her real mother and father being dead, no action was taken and she was given to MT. and Mrs. c. B. Dowd who tried to give her a home | Superintendent Thorne states thai he does not know where the girl is.
 It is now said that Julta's real ia ther has appeared on the scene agair
 and is prepared to defend his rightf
 in the courts if sucf- course is' neces, lsary.

GERBER
 FIRST WITNEGS
 TO TAKE STAND

Albany, Jan. 22-Julius Gerber, sec retary of the New York local of the socialist party, was the first witness called today at the trial before the assembly judiciary committee of the five suspended socialist assemblymen charged with disloyalty.
 As soon as Gerber had been sworn, MT. Stanchfie1d obtained from him copy of the constitutional platform of the socialist party in 1917, which was introduced in evidence witho I; objection by the defense.
 MT. Stanchfie1d drew from Gerber information that the New York Call with the flaming torch. Che social ist emblem, at each corner of the front page" was an organ of the so- cialist party in which official news was recorded. Gerber said he was secretary of the membership corpor- ation which published the newspaper, and that S. John Bloch, state chair man of the socialist party and an at- tornes for the defense, was another officer.
 The Call Gerber testified, is owned by the Workingmens Cooperative Publishing Association, which he de- scribed as a membership corpora tion." A person may become a mem Der of the association by payment ol $5. Some persons own more stock than others, but regardless of the amount of stock owned, each member is allowed but one vote The socialist party organization had no control ol authority over the publishing asso- citation, nor had the publishing asso- ciation any control over the party.
