LOOKS AS IF FARES
 HAD BEEN RAISED

An apparent attempt on the part of the Public Utilities Commission to lower the fares paid by the riding public on Connecticut Company troll leys, has seemingly been unsuccessful as it applies to Bridgeport and the vicinity at least According to the ruling of the Public Utilities Commis- sion all zones are to be made as nearly as possible one mile in length instead of the 1.2. 1. and s miles they are at present. As nearly as can be estimated by the use of a scale map and without actual measure ment of the running distance this rule will decrease the size of maa of the city zones thereby necessitat- ing more of them than has been the ease in the past.
 From Main street and Fairfield avenue to the State street junction is at present a one zone ride. It is en- tirely probable that if the ruling of the commission is adhered to strictly and this distance measured it will be found to be more than a. mile, there by involving the payment of an ad- ditional three cents in some cases.

Friend Sold His Stock
 And POCketed Money

It isn't safe to trust your best friend with your property in order to save it from your insistent creditors according to the story told Referee Keogh, today, by Daniel E. Brennan. attorney for Harry Markewitz. whc was in the clothing business at 1871 Main street.
 Some time ago Markewitz decided
 that it would be a good thing to give his entire stock, valued at $2,oOO tc
 his friend, Samuel Mersky. in ordef to save it from attachment by cred
 itors. Merszy placed the goods in his
 barn on Holster avenue and told
 Mar6ewitz that he could have it af-
 ter the creditors had become satisfied
 that it was useless to try to collect
 their bills.
 After waiting g, while, according to Attorney Brennan, Mersly sold the entire stock for $500 and pooketed the money and refused to recognize Mar kewsltzs claim to any part of it. As Marlqowitz became insistent, M'erslxy sold his real estate and dis posed of al the rest Of his property to prevent Markewitz making an attach men on it.
 Bewailing the ffaithlessness of his best friend Harkewitz retained At torney Brennan who advised him to file a petition in bankruptcy so that the trustee who would be selected might recover the porperty. In the bankruptcy court this morn. | ing, at the first meeting of the cred | itors, Attorney Brennan recommend. ed that criminal action be brough. against Mersky.
 | Referee Keogh appointed Paul Gold berg trustee under a bond of S1,0O6
 and also appointed Joseph Shapiro | attorney for the trustee with orders l to take any action he should deem
 necessary to recover the property fol l the creditors of the estate. 1 Markewftz had 29 creditors and his | debts amount to S4,S27. His assets | consist of the property given to 1 Mersky and household furniture val
 ued at $500, which is claimed to be 1 exempt. John B. Dillon, Samuel Wagner | and David Altman were appointed
 appraisers.

AMERICA WILL
 BE AN OBSERVER
Government Sees No Req son Why Troops Should
 Go Into Ruhr.

Washington, April 9-America's at- titude toward any adjustment of the new situation created by the entry of French troops into the Ruhr dis trict of Germany, will continue to be more that of an observer than an in' terested participant, from what can be learned in official circles here. Ii is known the state department was in communication with London and Italy, as well as FTanct up to the time the French army moved forward from the Mayence bridgehead, and there has been no indication here of any change in the position taken more than a week ago when the State De- partment announced this government knew no reason why German troops should not be sent into the troubled district if it were clearly understood they would be withdrawn once order was restored.
 While recognizing the seriousness of the situation created by the inde- pendent action of France, officials here were not inclined to regard it as "delicate'' as the British foreign of- flee indicated last night. It was re- garded as one of those situations full of potential danger but in which the probability of an adjg1stme ent was pre-. dominant.
 All reports have indicated Ger many's unwillingness to contest the force of French arms and it was pointed out there is no reason to as- sumo France will not adhere to he1 assurances that her forces will be withdrawn once the German troops have fallen back to the eastern boun' dary of the neutral zone-

first zone from the center of the city extends to HolliSter avenue. Again in this case actual measurement will propaIbIy prove that this distance is more than a mile, again involving iD some cases the extra three-cent zone fare awarded by the commission.
 On the Barnum avenue line the first zone from the center extends to Sea view avenue and Barnum. Here again actual measurement will prob ably shorten this zone somewhat
 At the present time it costs A cents to ride in a trolley to Milford. Under the new system, with zones a mile long and three cents for every additional zone travelled after the first two, it will probably cost in the neighborhood of 33 cents.
 So on all along the line. Residents within city limits will not apparent ly be affected as much by the "de- creased rates as those living in the outlying sections and again the use of books of zone tickets and commu- tation tickets will lessen the H. C. of Riding to some extent, but it appears now as if the new ruling is all one way-and that-the Connecticut com pany's way.

HEIRS MAY BE
 ABLE TO AGREE Ask Court to Postpone the Hearing On McMahon
 Property

Stating that the heirs of the late John H. McMahon might be able to agree upon a division of the property, counsel in the suit brought by Alice E. Gaynor and other heirs against Anna G. McMahon asked Judge Cur tis in the superior court this morning to postpone action on the motion, to sell the property. The court con- tinued the hearing on the motion for one week.
 In addition to Alice F. Gaynor, the heirs who brought the suit were; Theresa I. Lawler and Gertrude E. Mccarthy, of this city, anl Josephine I. Lalley of Fairfield. Each of the heirs has a one-atxth interest in the property, which consists of seven pieces. The parcels are located on State street, two pieces at Main and Catherine streets, Jackson avenue, the Stratford avenue pier property, one plot in Wallingford and another in Southington. In the complaint the heirs asked the court to order a par tition of the holdings and if this could not be agreed upon to order a sale.

Washington, April 9.---Two yeara before the United States joined the allies in the world war the navy gen eraa board prepared a comprehensive plan for war against a "central power of Europe, Rear Admiral F F. Fletcher today told the Senate in- vestfgating committee. He was re- plying to Rear Admiral Sims charge chat when tine United States entered Hahe war the navy department had no ~<vveH consbdered'' plans or policies for ffghAfng Germany
 Many such plans had been made in the past Admiral Fletcher said, but the plan referred to covered every phase of naval operations under the assumed conditions of war" It dealt with the mobilization organization and composition of the fleet, it's dis possaHon and employment, protection of the coasts. bases of supplies-Gn the United States coast and In the West Indies, routes across the Atlanthc ana the enemy's forces and probable courses of action, he said, and com prised nearly 300 tyEpewritten pages
 Admiral Fletcher was a member of the general board during the war but was engaged for the most part with his duties as a member of the war industries board, the priorities board and the council of national defense.
 Explaining that he wished to com ment on certain specific charges made by Admiral Sims before testifying regarding his duties as a member ot these various boards, the witness first took up Sims criticism that the navy was not prepared for war in April 1917.
 No navy ever was or ever will be fully prepared for war in the eyes o1 everyone, the admiral declared, but

Paris, April 9-The British attitude regarding the French occupation of Frankfort will cause the opening of a diplomatic conversation between the powers of the entente concerning the whole subject of action with re- gard to Germany, it was said today in official circles.
 In this conversation the French at- titude will be based first on mainte- nance of the entente and second on strict execution of the treaty of Yer sailles.
 The French although declaring themselves not satisfied with some of the terms of the treaty, accepted it as finally signed and now consider it a sort of charter as regards relations with Germany. Great Britain, it is thought here, considers it rather as a sort of elastic basis of settlement of European affairs which is capable of { divers notifications.
 Cancellation of these viewpoints will be the object of ensuing con- versations during which France, it is stated, will probably ask Great Bri- 1 the treaty. It is recalled that arti

Republican farmer., 1920-04-16

The opinion is expressed in official circles that while maintenance of the entente is the first point on which future conversations must be based, there appears to be a need of read justment of the relations of the en- tente powers. The original under standing having been to ward off the menace of aggression by Germany, it was continued during the war with the view of winning the war, but was never adjusted to after-war conditions which, it is asserted here, require a more compreh enSive accord.
 Demands that Germany disband her army and retain only 100000 men with the colors, presented at Berlin on Wednesday by General Nollet president of the interaIlied commis- sion of control, have been sent to the governments of various German states by the minister of the interior, says a despatch from Berlin. The minister asks the states to give assurances that the civil guards are
 dissolved, adding that the Prussian minister of war had already decided upon such step.
 The demands are said to have been 1 accom- panied by a note from the minister declaring they contained a passage duplicating untrue supposi- tions on the part of France but stat | ing the Berlin government "did not | believe itself obliged to enter into ne9 | representations to the French govern. l ment''
