MILFORD NEWS

Two Bridgeport-New Haven j;tneys collided yesterday afternoon on New Haven avenue in Woodmont nearly head-on. There was some smashed glass, and one of the vehicles was SC badly damaged that it was necessary to leave it by the roadside for the attention of the wrecker. No one was hurt, so far as could be learned. Encouraging words are being re- ceived from Dr. Ives, now in Califor- mia, but from what eastern friends write him regarding the way winter has been lingering in the lap of Spring this year he has decided that it will be best for him to wait till the ball season opens in Milford before com ing home.
 Walter M. Irving closed deal yes terday whereby the B. B. Jennison farm at Wheeler's Farms was trans ferred to Paul Therion of Westvil1e in exchange for three houses there.
 J. D. Brown, ST., who returned from California a few days ago is confined to the house by a slight ill., ness.
 At the meeting of Friday evening the American Legion voted to ac- cept the invitation of the Sons of Veterans to join in the Decoration Day parade. So far as possible the members of the legion will appear in uniforms.
 It is evident that First Selectman Chaney is not to wait for the i'm provementS on Gulf street until money can be obtained from the sale of bonds, as he has started Elbert N. Clarke and Son at work there rough ing up the street and rolling it down into a temporary smoothness that it is hoped will do for the summer
 Also MeSsrS. Clark and Son are lay- ing out streets on the property on Gulf street recently purchased by Mrs. Howes opening up that desirable section for settlement.
 Extensive repairs and additions are being made at the quarters of the Milford Yacht club, the improve ments, however, being somewhat re- tarded by difficulties in obtaining help.

COMMUNICATION
 FOR OFFICERS

Sergeant Joseph P. CoughIin, Pa- troiman John Ha1pin and Motorcycle Policeman William Buckley who par tcfpated in the arrest of Paul Du- land alleged counterfeiter, may be of ficially commended by the Board of Police commissioners. At fast nights meeting of the board, Acting Super intendent Charles A. Suckley recom- mended that the men be commended for their excellent work. The mat ter was postponed pending the recov- cry of Officer John Halan. who was shot in the leg by Duland.
 No action was taken by the com missioners last night, on the case of Superintendent John H. Redgate. The failure of the board to discuss the su- perfntendent's suspension came as a surprise to Redgate's friends. John H. Stanley, chairman of the police board, stated after the meeting that Redgate's case would not be taken up at the present time.
 An official report on the death of the late Lieut.. James J. O'Neill, was made to the board, and it was stated that no motive for the act has yet been discovered.
 Howard D. Simmonds, a jitney starter, was elected a special police man.

.GOernOr Indicates
 He'll Veto Repeater
 Of Daylight Saving

Albany, May 1S.---Governor Smith will veto the Fowler biH, repeating the daylight saving act. The Gov ernor. at the hearing on the measure yesterday, indicated plainly that the arguments advanced by the propo- nents of the measure did not con vince him that he should sign the bill.
 One of the main arglm ents of those supporting the measure was that farm hands, even if they begin work at standard instead of advanced time. win want to quit their work on day light saving time, thus shortening their working day by one hour.
 'T do not think we are here to enact legislation to satisfy the wf1im ! of any particular group of workers in the state" the Governor said. 1The farmers are not the only people hay ing troubles with their employees, and they should not come here with de- mands for compromise legislation"

Mrs. John Wetherill, from the Nava-
jo reservation, in the northern part
of Arizona, who was visiting in Tue
son, and had come to Nogales accom-
panied by Mrs. Margaret Doyle of
Tucson; and the ladies remained in

turning to Tucson at evenin.
Mrs. Wetherill is representative

Association; and while here she call
ed at "The Oasis" office, and express
ed a desire to enlist someone here in
the work of assisting to raise funds
to purchase the home of former
President Roosevelt and make a
memorial to his life and character.
"The Oasis" suggested couple of
great admirers of the deceased ex-
president; and they are apt to hear
from the lady.
Mrs. Wetherill is also a writer of

in preparation of a History of the
Navajo Indians, the work being for

PARIS, March 27.-The Allies have
refused the German government per-
mission to send $4,000 Reichswehr
troops into the Rhine provinces to
restore order. This decision of the
Allies followed Germany's refusal to
allow entente forces to occupy Frank
fort and Darmstadt as a guarantee
that German troops sent into the
Ruhr district would be withdrawn as
soon as order was restored there.
Under the peace treaty Germany
agreed not to have armed forces in
the Westphalian industrial district,
where communist workmen have as
sumed control.
A Berlin dispatch says 80 persons
were killed in recent fighting at
Wesel, where bombardment of Ebert s
defenders by the workmen's red army
still continues.
A dispatch from Mayence said that
belief prevailed there that the work
mems army in Westphalia will pro-
claim an independent republic in the
near future.

FORTY AUTOS IN HOOK ACROSS
THE INTERNATIONAL
LINE ....

Around the municipal palace last
night there were parked no less than
forty automobiles; and there they are
yet this morning, to remain until
their owners appear in the municipal
court today, to answer to charges of
infractions of municipal regulations,
anil enrich the public treasury by
paying the fines which will be asses
sed against them. And there to
hangs story.
Yesterday afternoon Presidente
Figueroa and Chief of Police Ruiz
reached a conclusion that infractions
of regulations we're becoming quite
too frequent; so orders were isued
for arrest of all automobile owners
speeding beyond the limit provided,
running at night without lights,
parking in forbidden places, etc, with
result that by o'clock yesterday
evening the forty machines mention
ed we're parked along Campillo and
Fidalgo streets, in front of the palace
and adjacent buildings, while forty
owners walked home to ruminate
over night upon the probable cost
they will have to stand today.

DUBLIN, March 27:-James Nc
Carthy, prominent Sim Fein leader
at Thurles, was shot and killed in his
home this morning.
Masked men broke into McCarthy's
bedroom at 2:30 o'clock a. m. The
crime is supposed to, have been in
revenge for the murder of a police
man which occurred at Thurles some
short time ago.
Sim Fein leaders assert that Nc
Carthy's murder is additional proof
of their belief that Anti-Sinn Fein
terrorists have been organized to in
timidate that society. :.
Following the murder of Allen
Bell, the Dublin castle magistrate
yesterday, Dublin has presented the
appearance of an occupied city, and
military activity is greater than at
any time since the rebellion. Num-
erous additional troops have arrived,
while tanks, armored cars and motors
lorries have moved constantly through
down town streets.
Military leaders say that 20 mur-
ders of members of the police and
constabulary forces with soldiers and
other representatives of the govern
ment have been committed since
January, 1919;. and eighty-nine other
assassinations have been attempted.

1t would be inaccurate to assert
that the school election yesterday
was "hOtly contested" for the vote
was too one sided for that on either
proposition; but surely it was
one of the most interesting elections
ever held in NOgales-that is to say:
The electors took far greater inter-
est than is taken usually in any elec.
tiOn, and there was drawn out very
large and decisive vote. The people
spoke in no unmeasured terms. More
than five to one on the main pro-
position, and nearly four to one upon
the other. surely is sufficient to sat
isfy the most .Obdurate of the real
trend of public sentiment.
All day long fleet of automobiles
was busily engaged in transporting
voters to and from the polls; and
when the ballots were counted out of
the box at evening, it was found that
514 electors had participated, but not
all voted on one proposition or the

ARRANGING To

MEXICO
Especial to "The Oasis")


CITY OF MEXICO, March Pit
is unofficially intimated that negotia-
tions are being conducted in the
United States which would soon lead
to lifting the embargo on shipments
of arms and munitions from the
United States into Mexico.
Government officials viewed these
negotiations as highly important, and
they expressed belief that unrestrict-
ed imports of military supplies from
the United States would enable Car
rama troops to complete pacification
of the country before the pending
presidential elections.
Gen. Pablo Gonzalez has denied a
report that he has withdrawn his
candidacy for the presidency of Mex
leo, and he asserted most vigorously
that he has "no intention of resign
ing at this time," although he would
not comment on the report that he
will combine with Obregon to push

Upon the proposition about which
:entered the greatest interest the
vote stood 424 to authorize the school
board to sell the general government
a site for a federal building, at the
corner of Plum Street and Arroyo
Boulevard, to 79 against it, the vote
analyzing 5.71 to 1 in favor.
In selection of school trustee E. X.
Purdum, present incumbent was given
368 votes to 136 for Mrs. Frank ].
Barry. In that case the proportion
was 2.71 to in favor of Mr.. Purdum.
In closing this account "The Oasis"
feels that the Young Business MEMS
Association of NOgales is entitled
to great credit for the result on the
federal building site. AS soon as the
proposition to sell site out from the
High School park was broached the
Association got behind it with all the
force and energy of their efficient and
wideawake organization, they worked
for its success with unbOunded en-
thusiasm, and put it over in a most
remarkably brilliant manner.
