 DIES SUDDENLY
 FROM INFLUENZA
Was Daughter of A. H. Bull lard-Husband Is Also
 Seriously Ill.

The many friends of Mrs. Jeanette Bullard Mitchell were surprised and grieved to learn of her death which occurred this morning at T o'clock at her home in Washington, Conn.,. after few days illness with influenza.
 Her husband, Everett Mitchell, of the Mitchell Dairy Company, has been dangerously i'll with the same disease for over a week and it is believed that Mrs. Mitchell contracted the disease while nursing him.
 Mrs. Mitchell. who was a daughter of Augustus H. Bu1lard. was one of the most popular of the younger set in Bridgeport society at the time of her marriage six years ago.
 She is survived by her husband and two small boys, two and a half and five years of age.
 It is a curious coincident that her brother, Clifford Bullard. and his wife both died of influenza during the epidemic about a year ago.
 Funeral arrangements have not been completed.

WAY TO FURTHER
 ARGUMENT IS NOW VIRTUALLY CLOSED
FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN GREAT POWERS ON QUESTION IS EXPECTED us, COULD NOT ACCEPT PREVIOUS
 AGREEMENT BY PREMIERS.

Washington, Feb. 2O-By the A. P.)-The position of the American government on the Adriatic settlement has been made so plain in President Wilson's reply to the allied note that administration off cials believe the way to further argument on the subject virtu- ally has been closed.
 It was said today, however, that ty this they did not mean that the door to the further exchanges had been shut. On the contrary a reply to the Presidents latest communication Is anticipated and a. final agreement be- tween. the great powers on the qaeks- t1on expected.
 The President throughout the ex- change now in progress is understood to have made it perfectly clear that the United States cannot accept the settlement reached by the allied pre- e1iers and concUrred in by Italy and which was made the subject matter of the uftinatum to Jugo Slavta last month.
 He also is said to have made il equally clear that enforcement of the Adriatic terms of the secret treaty oi London, negotiated before the coun- try entered the war, would be wholly unacceptable to the United States
 The presidents note still is in the hands of Acting Secretary Polk, tc whom it was sent yesterday for study and it was said at the State Depart roent that 1t would not be dispatched today. It probably will be put ox <he cahaeS tomorrow,
 It was stated officially that the question of giving publicity to the ex- changes would wait on the delivery of the presidents note and the ac- ouiaseuce of the other governments

 YEARLY BUDGET

TENDERS FALL INTO
 CHANNEL
F ear That Steeplechase Bridge May TOpple
 Into Water.
WOULD CUT OFF
 MANY INDUSTRIES

Navigation up Johnson's Creek is seriously interfered with by the topping over into the channel of the lenders to the draw of the bridge connect ng Steeplecehase Island with he mainland. Fears are en- lertained that the draw itself will fall into the channel with the breaking up of the ice in the harbor.
 If this happens the channel will be entirely closed and a number of inn portant plants will be cut off from all communication with the harbor and Sound.
 Johnson's Creek is the connecting strait through which all the boats launched at the Lake Torpedo Boas Works reach the Sound and through which most of the supplies ars brought to the Lake Go, the Valvo- line Oil Co., the Wolverine Motor Go. and the Seal-shipped Oyster Co.
 The closing of the creek for any length of time would seriously inter- fere with these industries.
 Steep1echase Island has recently been taken over by the Park Board for an addition to the park system o1 the city and it will be up to the board to get busy and remove this obstruc- ton to navigation.
 The bridge has not been used since the island was a camping ground fol state soldiers in the early part of the war.
 Since then the draw has been open and has been held in position by ca b1es which were attached to the fen ders. With the loss of this suppor it would not require wind of a very high velocity to topple over the draw into the channel
