Ex-SERvICE MEN
 ENTER PROTEST
Don Uniforms and Call on Waterbury's
 Mayor.

Waterbury. June About 125 of the brass mill strikers who served in the army or navy marched from the union machinists' headquarters on East Main street at 9:sO this morning their service uniforms. The demon sion of protest against the action of Supt. Beach of the police in refusing the men a permit to hold a parade on the ground that all parades are unwise at this time. =
 At the city hall a detail of police met the men and the sergeant in charge told the leaders that the en. tire body of marcherS could not enter the building but that a committee would be allowed inside.
 The committee that waited on the mayor received from him advice as to the proper procedure for making ap- pIication for a parade permit Acting on his suggestion formal written ap- plication for a. permit to hold a parade next Tuesday was made. This was denied by Superintendent Beach and the committe gave notice of an appeal to the board of aldermen, which meets Monday night.
 Such large crowd gathered in front of the City Hall that when the service men marched back to strike head quarters a large force of police and city guard was ordered out to prevent trouble that seemed to be threatening. The crowd dheered the marching ser vice men and jeered the police, but no violence was attempted.

HIGH
 OVER ELECTION Socialists Threaten To Take Power By Violent
 Means.

London, June +Ever-growing ex- citement marks the election campaign in Germany which ends on June 6. Independent Socialists report that at a meeting in Mecklenburg the con- servatives, when they could not longer sustain the debate, threatened their opponents with" revo1vers, and that the independent socialists and their supporters. escaped being killed only by the intervention of the majority socialists, according to a Berlin des- patch.
 Complaint is made to the German ministry of home affairs, the des- patch states, by the German national land union of Hesse that it's meetings are systematically broken up. its candidates ma1treated and it's follow CTS assaulted. Independent socialists are reported to make no secret of the fact that should the election result fail to reach their expectations they will not submit to the new parlia- ment. Herr Koelitz, the widely known independent socialist leader, declared recently at a meeting in Berlin that in case the new parliament does not show a majority for the radical left, the independent socialists will seize power by violent means.

 Council.

William E. See1ey, president of the Board of Apportionment, expects to attend the Republican National con ventlon in Chicago next week and he will not be on hand when the Board or Apportionment meets Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock to transfer sev- era1 accounts so the aldermen may get their monthly salary of s75 each on July 1.
 Where the money is coming from to pay the aldermen is something MT. Seeley was unable to say today, but he thought arrangements might be made by transferring money from other accounts Some of the money apportioned for the police department may be taken away and used for the salary of the aldermen.
 Another transfer expected to come up at the meeting will be to pay the bill of the Burns detectives who con- ducted the recent vice raids in this city. The size of the big bill has not been determined and win, probably not come up until Monday night when the finance committee will hold a session just prior to the meeting of the council.
 Who will preside at the apportion- ment boards meeting on Tuesday has not been decided upon and it will not be until the members assemble or Tuesday afternoon. Mayor Wilson will call the special meeting

BELIEVE TROLLEYMEN
 REJECTED OFFER

With the ballot of conductors and motormen of the Connecticut Com pany on the acceptance or rejection of the new wage scale, and working con ditionS governing their employment with the company completed yester- day throughout all cities in the state in which the Connecticut Co. have a franchise, it was anticipated by mem bers of the Local Annalgamated Union that the final results would denote a rejection of the new conditions cov- |ering a two-year period.
 Immediately following the closing of the balloting yesterday the ballot-box was forwarded by the union officers to the general headquarters of the union at New Haven, where the votes of all the men throughout the state, num- bering in the neighborhood og 2,5OO, will be counted, and the results made known. It is expected that the exact result will be forthc oming within a few days. The new wage scale, which becomes retroactive to June 1, is a sliding scale of 54 cents to 60 cents an hour for conductors and motormen, with a rate of 65 cents to 75 cents for the operators of safety cars.
 In spite of the fact that the opera
 tors of the safety-cars in Bridgeport
 protested vehemently against operat-
 ing these cars where more than one zone is involved, it now appears thai

WANT TABLET
 IN PLAIN SIGHT
Gold Star Mother Says Honor Roll Is
 Hidden.

Gold Star mothers are vigorously protesting against the tablet, giving the names of the young men who gave their lives in the war against Ger many, remaining where it is ill the city hall. The tablet is in the vesti- bule where it would hardly be notic- ed- Mothers of the young men who died on the battlefields of Flanders and France believe the tablet should be placed on city hall green or some other prominent place where persons would notice it.
 Under the present conditions, they say, visitors would never know Bridgeport had an honor roll unless they went looking for it and then they would not find the tablet unless ii was pointed out to them. Another charge made by those interested is that names on the atblet are spelled wrong, which gives the whole tablet the appearance of a botched piece of work.

 It required the strength of several pedestrians and Paitrolman Tracy
 Hamilton to push the heavy machine away from the woman. She had been terribly crushed from the hips down and was rushed to the Flower Hos pita1 in an automobile communicated by the patrolman. She died without regaining consciousness. The autom obile was owned and operated by Waino Roseguist of 1862 18th street, Brooklyn, who said some thing went wrong, causing the steer ing gear to fail to respond. Finding the car out of his control, he said he tried to work the brake but the car would not stop. An examination of the car by police experts revealed | that not only was the brake out of or der but steering knuckle had snap | ped The automobile is held as evi- dence.
 Roseguist was held without bail by Magistrate F1eischman in Yorkville Court on a charge of homicide.
 l At the hospital yesterday morning | it was first announced that Miss tSturses had a chance for recovery, but amputation would be necessary to , save her life. She died on the oper- ,ating table. Mrs. Sturges, the mother, who is 75 years old. was standing close beside her daughter when she was crushed and narrowly escaped similar fate. | She is being cared for at Flower hos pital, prostrated by shock and grief.

OUTSIDER MAY
 HEAD DETECTIVES

'The mayor intends to put some thing over tonight at the police board meeting,' said a prominent Repub- lican leader this morning while dis cussing the contemplated shakeup in in the police department.
 "It wouldn't surprise me- he con tinued, 'if Bob Davies, who is over at the Remington plant, is made cap- tain of detectives." Further informa- tion was denied, but it gives a hint of some of the possibilities for the meeting tonight.
 Davies was chief of the guards ali the Remington-U. M. c. plants dur. ing the war, but now that the Gen eral Electric Go. has taken over the Remington works the need of man to act a guard will hardly be nee.

.SINN FEN NOW
 CON TR0L TYRONE

Belfast, Ireland June As a re- suit of county and district council elections the Sim F'ein-Nationalist alliance has secured control in county Tyrone for the first time. In addi- ton it has maintained its hold on county F'ermanagh by a majority of 559.
 Keenest interest was taken in these elections because both counties are included within the Ulster area out lined in the Irish bill now before the British parliament. Various election tricks were revived, one woman dis guising herself and voting as her own mother. Another woman is said to have voted seven times. The feature of the elections generally in northern Ireland was the ascendancy gained by Sim Feiners over the followers of Redmond.
