MILLERAND OFF TO
 SOVIET DECISION

Paris, July 27-Premier Millerand, accompanied by Marshal Foch left today for Cologne where he will dis cuss with Premier Lloyd George the Soviet proposal for a conference be- tween the Allies and representatives of the Russian Soviet government.
 It is reported that Premier Miller and sounded by the British govern ment on the question, gave as pre- liminary conditions to entering nego- tiations with the Russians the acknowledgment by the Soviet of in formation engagements of former Rus sian government and confirmation by the Russian people of the Soviet's authority.
 The probability is also expressed that M. Millerand will refuse to agree to the request in the Russian note for the surrender of General Wrange1 the anti-B olshevik leaders in south ern Russia, and that he will ask the United States to participate in the London conference if it is held.
 All the newspapers attach consider able importance to the situation re- sulting from the proposal of M Tchitcherin, Bolsheviki foreign min ister, for Al1ied-Soviet conference ir London.
 With the exception of Socialist or gans the newspapers are unanimous in the support of the government plar to demand of the Soviet governmen recognition of engagements of former Russian governments.

GERMANS HOLD UP POLISH WAR TRAIN

Coblenz July PA Polish supply train of 13 cars bearing arms and munitions from France. with five Polish and one French officer aboard, which left the American area Satur- day evening. was held up by German police and crowd of civilians at Marburg, 60 miles east of Coblenz Sunday. The Germans stripped the cars of their war material and the train crew refused to convoy them further They returned to Coblenz last night.
 The Polish and French officers, the latter accompanied by his wife, were not molested, and reached Coblenz on a passenger train yesterday.
 Altogether the train consisted of 45 cars with non-military stores for Pc land and supplies for the American Legation and the American Relief Committee in Warsaw. These cars were in charge of Americans were not disturbed. The German railway men in the Coblenz district have given mo- tice that they will refuse to run Polish trains. The reason Tor the attempt to run a Polish military train through Germany after last weeks announce ment at Berlin of GermaEy'S neu- trality in the trouble between Russia and Poland, is vague.

JITNEYS DIDN'T
 BRING SHOPPERS

Practically all the stores and shops
 were highly pleased with the service
 rendered by the jitneys on Bridge
 ports first trol1eyless day. Holmes &
 Edwards Go. reported that 'The con-
 ditions were just the same, if not a
 whole lot better than when the troll
 1eys were running"
 Smith, Murray Company enjoyed a
 comfortable gain in sales over those i of a year ago and so it was evident that the cessation of the cars had no bad effect.
 In speaking of the situation D. M. Jones, manager of D. M. Read Co.,, said: 'The effect of the first tro11eyless day was very bad. The jitneys probably gave good service in carry ing people to the shops, but they did not bring out the shopping public, the trading people. The people on 1 the streets yesterday were not, for the l most part, the people who come to I the center just to trade.'
 At the Columbia Graphophone company office it was said that prob | ably only one-third of the usual | number were late this morning. At i the Lake Torpedo Boat company both the morning and evening service
 of the jitneys was lauded by the | mana cement. "The men liked the | service because it is quicker. Ii took them less time to get home, but yesterday was not the first time they

45 AUTOS PASS
 IN A MINUTE

At the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue, where traffic is re- garded heaviest, machines passed this noon at the approximate rate of 45 per minute. At six o'clock last night the number amounted to 64 per min ute which amount is just double that of "clocking'' which was taken on the corner last April.
 During the rush hour last night and this noon, traffic was handled with out a flaw. Some new drivers halted their machines at the southwest cor her of Main street at Fairfield ave- nue, but moved on to the corner of Cannon street when instructed to do 50 by the police. All buses proceed ing south across Fairfield avenue are required to take on or discharge pas sengers at Cannon street.
 One jitneyman who came in from New York City yesterday with three machines, was anxi ously inquiring this morning as to the whereabouts of a S5,000 fund which he had been told was sort of loan reserve for drivers who were financially unable to secure registration markers and licenses None of the local jitneurs were aware | of the existence of this fund, and the l New Yorker expressed an intention of
 returning to New York immediately

OUUA BOARDS
 GET STARTED ON
 ELWELL MURDER

New York, July 27.-Ouija boards by the score have volunteered to solve the mysterious murder of Joseph Bowen Elwell, turfman, card expert and 'Don Juan.'
 Since the body of the gambler was found in his handsome residence here last month, with a bullet through the forehead, alleged clues, motives and revelations of the murderer him. self have been gathered from ethe- real planes by the thousands and dumped upon an admittedly be- wildered staff of the District At torney's office.
 All of these occult communications are not discarded. While disclaiming any faith in Ouija's ability as a crime investigator, the District At torney nevertheless admits that he has assigned a man to the special duty of reading occult contributions and to submit to him personally any conveying apparently useful informa- tion. An anonymous communication purporting to be an occult revela- tion may contain a valua ble clue. MT Swann believes, his theory being that the criminal might use this method of informing on a confederate.
 Anonymous communicants purpor to reveal prelude, plot and clima2 Of the crime.
 The missing automatic pistol witf which Elwen was shot has been To- cated by Ouija boards or other 'su pernatural' means; in every part O. the Elwell home, from the sitting room in which the murder was com itted down into the basement and III to the roof.
 Until the murderer is apprehended both the police and District At torney's staff say they expect nc surcease from the persistent profit gacy of occult assistance now beins forced on them.

NO COMPLAINTS
 IN TWO DAYS

Since midnight on Sunday, at which time jitney buses took over the prop osition of transporting the Bridgeport public, not single complaint con- corning the public service machines
 has been made at the traffic depart
 ment at police headquarters. With
 the exception of one slight accident
 yesterday morning, the jitneys have
 g. clean slate as far as mishaps are concerned.
 The uninterrupted flow of traffic
 which was established yesterday was maintained today with regular patrol
 men taking the places of traffic police
 men after the latter had gone off duty.
 The cooperative work of the jitney drivers and police in keeping traffic lanes free from blockades has been a feature of the situation during tn e
 first two days of the week. At police headquarters it was said today that the traffic is being kept well in hand
 at all points, and all machines are
 moving with greater efficiency than ever before.
 | At the motor vehicle office at police headquarters, five new bus registra- | tions have been granted since mid night Sunday This fact indicates | that most of the new buses have been brought in from other cities of the state. Nineteen new public service operators licenses have been issued. New buses which are being brought | into the city to meet the emergency | must be equipped with proper head lights, according to motor vehicle de- partment officials. All lamps must make objects discernible at 100 feet and must be visible at 200 feet. Many \ of the new machines are equipped
 with oil lamps. These are not power
 full enough to meet with the require
 ments and must be changed fol stronger lights.

 That the Connecticut company has no intention of giving up this lucra- tive field is shown by the talk and ac- ton of it's employees. One of the ern- ployes in the office of the company said last night that matters had been arranged with the authorities to drive the jitneys off the streets of Bridge port. He would not say how this would be done but intimated that the company is preparing an ordinance which it expects the Board of Alder men will pass at it's next meeting and that this new ordinance will be in junction-proof and will be forced | trough the Board by Mayor Wilson and the Republican leaders of the city. John T. King is expected back in the city before the Board meets but whether he will use his influence for or against the new ordinance is in doubt
 l President Lucius Storrs of the Con- necucut Company stated this morning a special session of the Legislature to consider the jitney-tro1ley problem He was very non-committal and in response to a query on the situation in this city as to whether or not the ! trolleys would be put back said: T have nothing to say.''
