 NOW UP TO COUNCIL
Corporation Counsel Ap- poves Plan As Legal-Spe-
 cial Meeting Tomorrow.

At a special meeting of the common council to be held tomorrow evening, action will be taken on the proposed daylight saving ordinance offered at the last meeting of that body. At that time it was thought advisa ble to refer the matter to the ordinance commit tee and corporation counsel, jointly, so that the legality of the measure might be determined. Today Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper returned his opinion in favor of the ordinance.
 Practically all the factories in the city have gone on record as favoring g the passage of such a rule by the common council. It was stated today at the central office of the New York. New Haven & Hartford railroad that if several more Connecticut cities adopted daylight saving ordinances, the time schedules might be changed to conform With the new hours.
 The ordinance to be acted upon is:
 Be it ordained by the common council of the city of New Britain:
 'The standard time of the city of New Britain is that of the 18th de- gree of longitude west from the meri- dian, except that of o'clock ante meridian from the last Sunday in April each year standard time throughout the city of New Britain shall be advanced one hour and at 2 o'clock ante-meri of the last Sun day in September of each year such standard time shall. by the retarding of one hour, be returned to the mean astronomical time of the 18th degree of longitude west from Greenwich, and all courts. public offices, legal and official proceedings shall he regulated thereby.
 ''The resolution as presented at the last meeting of the council was signed by Aldermen Curtis, Dehm, Spencer and ichstaedt and Councilmen Gill, Wall, Gilpatric, Peterson, Weld, Wells and Stein er.'

 The mass meeting was quiet and well conducted. There were many short speeches. Several foreign tongues are spoken among the strik- CTS. and the committee of 40 embraces representatives of these. ->
 The strike. includes all the men in the Coe branch. the copper mill and the wire mills. all of the American Brass company's local plant.

SIMS HIMSELF IS
 BEING QUESTIONED
Admiral Fletcher Demands to Know Why He Was Relieved of
 Command,

Washington, March 25.-Anothe CT naval investigation growing out of the war was started here today. It is being conducted by a naval court and the purpose is to develop the circumstances surrounding the re- moval by Rear Admiral Sims of Rear Admiral William B. Fletcher from the command of the American naval base at Brest.
 Admiral Fletcher, who asked for the inquiry was the first witness. He presented copy of an order from Admiral Sims in August, 1917, which placed Captain R. H. Jackson, Amer ican naval representative at the French ministry of marine in com mand of 'all American naval and aviation bases in France.
 Identifying the general text of the letter. Admiral Sims told the court that either the copy or the origina1' contained a Typographical error; that he had intended to order Captain Jackson to command only the naval aviation bases" The inclusion of the and" which made the order apply to all bases, was declared by Admiral Sims to be rank absurdity'' on it's face. The judge advocate said the situation was complicated" because the original order could not be 1ocat- ed in the navy department files.
 The order created an "anomalous' situation, Admiral Fletcher said, and resulted in great delay in operations as it was neces ssarE to route all com munications between his office and Admiral Sims through Captain Jack son.
