LARGE CROPS.

With the growing season almost
ended, Kentucby's crop prospects
are now most satisfactory. Estimates
Just issued by the United States Blu
reau and State Commissioner Hanna
show large increases ia the crops
over 1919 In oats, barley. potatoes,
sorghum molasses, clover seed, corn,
apples and peas, and the minor
crops giving good yield. Under
these conditions there will probably
be some reduction In the cost Of

 MANY ERRORS

Hartford, Conn.,, April S-Approx- imately 40 percent of the income tax returns filled out by taxpayers of this state last month were found by gov ernment auditors to contain errors, United States Internal Revenue Col lector James J. Walsh said today. In some eases taxpayers paid to the de- partment more money than was ex- pected of them, but in the majority of cases it was found that they failed to make payment of certain items. Al. together, if these numerous items were not checked up caught by the federal auditors, the government, would stand to lose many thousands of dollars - how many Collector Walsh was not in a position to state
 About 150,0e0 returns were filed in this state. The corporation re- turns about $500 in number are sent on to the internal revenue depart ment in Washington for scrutiny. Collector Walsh said wherever re- turns were found a letter explaining g the error was sent to the taxpayer and request made to forward the amount due.

HOUSE STARTS DEBATE
 ON ENDING OF WAR

Washin gton, April s.---The House embarked today on an eleven hour debate on the resolution proposing to declare the state of war with Ger many at an end The vote will come @ tomorrow evening at 5 o'clock and under special rule no amendments or substitutes can intrude into consider ation of the fiat issue presented by the joint resolution prepared by the foreign affairs committee.
 Majority and minority reports on the proposal already were before the House That written by Chairman Porter of the committee, described the action contemplated as merely restoring conditions of peace and opening a way to resumption of trade, but leaving it to the executive to work out a formal treaty with Ger many later. The minority report pre- pared by Representative Flood of Virginia, with which the Democrats generally were said to be in agree ment, characterized the resolution as an attempted invasion of the treaty making power designed to enlbarrass the executive department for political effect.
 The constitutional power of con l gress to enact such legislation wa! ! f1atly challenged and it has been in dicated that the debate would turr
 largely upon that point. The frs proposal for adoption of such a peace (Continued on Page Eight.)

 London, April 8-Premier Lloyd George and his cabinet will meet to- day, presumably to determine the attitude Great Britain will take rela- tive to the occupation of the German cities east of the Rhine by the French. For this reason the conference of Al lied prerniers and foreign ministers, which has been arranged for today, and at which the German situation was to have been discussed, has been postponed. It will probably be held tomorrow.
 Baron IScialoia, the Italian foreign
 minister who is here for the confer ence, expressed the opinion to The Associated Press today, that there was no possibility of the Franco German situation bringing about ser ious differences between the Allies.
 "Intimations that there is danger of such a situation arising within the counsels of France and her former comrade powers are entirely unjusti- fed,' the foreign minister said. "l have every confidence that there is nothing in the present state of af- fairs that will make it difficult for the allies to reach a common under standing and maintain a solid front. :.

ISSUE WITH MINE OWNERS
Successful Completion of Anthracite Contract Lies
 With Them.

New York, April S-Omcials of the United Mine Workers declared today that successful completion of a new wage agreement for the anthracite coal fields depends on whether the mine owners grant the workers an adequate wage increase; the closed shop with the checkoff system of col lecting dues; the payment for coal on the legal ton basis wherever practical and enforcement of an eight hour day throughout the industry. These are the chief issues involved
 from the unions point of view, they

 mittee representing both sides. Y, Notice already has been served on the operators that there can be nc compromise on the demand for a

TWO SUITS DISCLOSE
 COMPANIES PROFITS

Some idea of the profits made by local ice dealers may be gained from figures quoted in two suits for az gregate damages of $31, ,00O brought against the Naugatuck Valley Ice Co.,, and the Berkshire Ice Co. in the Su- perior Court today by C. A Belisle of Providence, R. I. Belisle said he sold ice to the Naugatack Go. for S3.75 a ton last year and to the Berkshire Co. for s4 a ton. Inas- much as the public was forced to pay 60 cents a hundred pounds for ice the dealers must have cleared consid- erable more than expenses
 Belisfe is suing the Naugatuck Co. for S25.O00. He claims the local com pany agreed to buy 1000 tons o4 Maine ice from him last July. He received s2,oo0 on account and 1,23S tons were accepted by the local com pany, which refused to receive the remainder Belisle said the ice was left on his hands and he suffered a big financial loss.
 The Berkshire Go. is szbed for S6,- 900 on the ground that it ordered two boat loads of ice from BeIisle A total of 2,143 tons were delivered and ss,s08 was paid to Belisie, but he claims there is a balance still due him.

ARBUCCI DIES
 OF HIS WOUND Was Shot By Patrolman In a Three Cornered
 Fight.

Luigi Arbucci, of Hurd avenue, who was shot by Patrolnan Herbert Stowe, of the Fourth precinct, during a, fight at the corner of Main and Grand streets, Sunday night, died this morning in St. Vincent's hospital as the result of the wound inflicted upon him by the officer.
 The police are now endeavoring to locate some of the dead mans friends or relatives. It was at first believed that he came to this city from Water bury, but the authorities of that city disclaim any knowledge of the man. A report that Arbucci was living with a married sister in Hurd avenue is now being investigated.
 The fight in which Arbucci receiv- ed his death wound was 9 three- cornered affair between himself, Am brosia Del Noria, of AZ Goodse1l street, and Officer Stowe. Arbucc stabbed Del Noria with a stiletta, and then made for the officer, but was dropped in his tracks by shot from the poHcenan's gun. From evidence presented at the coroneras investiga- ton it seems that Officer Stowe acted | simply in self-defense.

Rumor Has It Addition to Graphophone to Cost
 Three Million.

Bridgeport is to have another big expansion of it's industrial activities according to statements of prominent citizens today.
 The Columbia Grapflophone is re- ported to have had plans drawn for a very large extension to their plant in the East End. The improvements are to cost in the neighborhood of $3,50O,oo0. It will neceSsttate the increase of the working force from it's present number of 5000 to 30,ooS in the course of two years, when it is expected that the new buildings win be ready for use
 This will make the Graphophone Go. the biggest plant in the city and probably the biggest h the eoUn- try.
 The demand for the machines and records made at the local plant is SO great the company is unable to i'll the orders.
 It is also stated that there is a plan to amatgamate the work of nlak> ing the Columbia and the Victor rec ords at the plant in this city, as the Columbia company are reported to have taken over the Victor business

 CREEPING BACK

Paris, April S--Absinthe, forbidden during the war. has recently been creeping back into the stocks of some cafes in this city, and its consumption has assumed proportions sufficient to attract the attention of the police. Great difficulty has been encountered in the past by those fighting the use of this liquor, which is being served under various names, no one being able to give an exact definition of it Government officials, however, have developed a test which police officers can apply on the spot, and if drink shows the presence of absinthe all stocks of the beverage are confscateS and the vendor arrested

 COLLIDE
Driver of Jitney Possi- bly, Fatally
 Injured.

Sixteen people were hurt, one pos siIbly fatally, this morning when a jitney bus driven south on Middle street by Joseph Petrosk, of 31 Sum mer street, and a trolley car, west bound on Fairfield avenue, coIlided at the corner, the force of the impact sending the bus up on the sidewalk and throwing many of the passengers to the street.
 The driver of the jitney was found unconscious by Dr. J. A. Maxwell who was summoned to the spot in the Emergency ambulance and at St. Vim l cents hospital this noon his condition was said to be rather critical. He is suffering from several fractured ribs and possible internal injuries.

Two of the more seriously 1 hurt are Marie Bogandy, IT. of 297 1 East Washington avenue, who was | badly cut in the left leg by glass, and Louise Hurst. 21. of 271 Remington street, who suffered probable injury
 to the spine and severe bruises. These i two and Petrosk were the only ones | taken to the hospital. the others re- 1 ceiving treatment on the scene or al the Emergency hospital.
 s Others injured in the crash were i Hazel Tolles, 20, and Gertrude Tolles IT, both of 124 Artic street, the frs named suffering from contusions o1 i the chest and the second from Iacer-
 ation of the under lip where hel

Most PretentiOuS
 Revolutionary Plot

Fl Paso, Tex, April S-Five persons were under arrest today and the fed eral grand jury had evidence which nection with what federal officers said ican revolutionary plots ever con ceived on the border.
 But for the arrest by the military forces in the Big Bend district, of a boy and girl carrying message to Francisco Villa, officers admit the plan for the seizure of Lower Cali fornia and simultaneous campaigns against Sonora, Sinaloa and Chi serious proportions.
 The messages carried by Andres IL ViIIegas and Conception Perez, the latter said to be a niece of Villa, fur nished information which led to the arrest at Les Angeles of Colonel Lamberto Chavez of Villas army or a charge of attempting to smuggle arms into Mexico, and at Mexicai the arrest of A. Borboa and his aide o1 a similar charge.
 According to details of the alleged plot the revoiutionists were to eros: into Lower California from the Unit. ed States, seize arms and ammunition of which there is a big supply, anC conduct simultaneous campaigns against Sonora and Sinaloa while Villa launched a vigorous campaign in Chihuahua to divert federal troop from the other two commonwealths When the movement was to com l mence was not announced and de tails of the plot are being kept secre pending further investigation by fed eraI authorities of alleged violation l of the American neutrality.

Fire Does ! Damage
 Of $2O,()()O
Blaze at Metal Company Gives Men Stiff
 Fight.

Fire which started on the third floor of Factory No. 2, Bridgeport Metal Goods Co.,, at Carbon and Wash burn streets, about 6:45 o'clock this morning, gave local fremen a hard hours battle, and caused damage amounting to approximately S20,000. The loss is said to be completely GOV cred by insurance.
 The blaze started from a hare-up in a. pitch pot on the top floor of a three story frame building, and spread rapidly across the roof and floor. A general alarm was turned in and when the fremen arrived they found the top floor ablaze and the flames shooting up an elevator shaft and staircase.
 Five lines of hose were coupled up and heavy streams of water and chemicals were soon directed against the blaze. The flames which had gained a foothold in the elevator shaft proved source of considerable trouble to the fremen. and it was only after stiff fight lasting over an hour that the fire was finally brought under control. Excellent work on the part of the fire fighters undoubtedly saved the entire building from de- struction.
 The building in which the fire oc- cured is separated from the main plant of the metal goods company, and is owned by J. H. McNamara oi Lafayette street. It is e:-timated that the structure was damaged to the approximate amount of $1,500. Stock i damage, according to an official ot | the company, will probably amount l to $1S,00Q. Water was reSpOnSible le 1 for the greater part of this loss. Fac | tory No. is used for the manufac- l ture of hashlight batteries.

URGES REJECTION OF WILSON PLAN
Unrest Due to Demand of Labor For Control In
 Industry.

Washington, April S.---F1at rejec- hon of the plan proposed by Presi- dent Wilson's second industrial con ference for the settling of labor un- rest was urged before the Senate la bor committee today by W.

Lauck was the first wit ness at hearings on the conference plan preliminary to the drafting of legislation to carry into effect such of it as the committee may deem adyjS-
 able.
 Mir. Lansck tozd the committee in- dustrial unrest throughout the world was due to the fact that labor organ iEations were -tde1na ndi nsg a greater measure of control by labor in indus try as well as larger earnings and shorter hours. This, he said, was due to a new conception of democracy requiring that the principles of polit- 1 ica4 democracy be taken into the in- dustria1 field.

DEFICIT IS
 UP TO BOARD
Implication Made Today By Apportionment A
 Member.

It was stated this morning by a member of the Board of Apportion- ment. in regard to the statement cred ited to the Board of Education that the latter body has not received all the money promised it and must start the year with a deficit, that a year ago the Board of Appordonment ap- propriated the sum of S62 66S.16, which sum, according to the recommenda> ton of the City Auditor, would have enabled the board to square up'' all the teachers salaries and start this year with a clean slate.
 While the member of the Board of AFsportionment did not actually say so, the inference may be drawn that this appr opriation of the Board ot Apportionment. if applied as intended would have done away with this years deficit and the presence of the deficit now is a matter for which the Board of Education only is responsi- hIe
