Railroad Will Not
 Observe Ordinance

Hartford, Conn, March 25.---The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad law will not conform to any tccal daylight saving ordinance or law, at least not so long as there is not more uniformity of time among cities and towns which it serves, especially in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This was the announcement made to- day by Carl A. Mitchell, superintend- ent of the Hartford division of the road.
 It was the result of a conference of railroad officials at New Haven We'd hesday afternoon and information was given out Lfls1t train sch edules would hot be changed. It was pointed out that if changes were made great com fusion would result.
 Hartford's daylight saving ordinance goes into effect next Monday. With put change in time of arrival of trains in the morning on which thou sands of commuters travel business is likely to be seriously disturbed. What effect the railroad company's decision will have is today problematical.

 While the Bolsheviki have made some small advances at some places, despite the desperate resistance of the Poles, the latter have been holding the enemy in check in most sections, say official statements. The Reds have been compelled to retreat from several newly acquired positions along the front but fighting still continues, the Soviet troops using heavy artil- lery, tanks, armored cars and other apparatus captured from General Denfkine on the South Russian front
 Most severe fighting took place on Tuesday on the Polesian-Podolian front near the Galician frontier, the Bolsheviki continued their attacks on this sector in an effort to capture Rovono, an important railroad cen ter, and Kamenetz-Podolsk a city highly prized because of it's strategic importance. Further north in the region of Rzecycza and Kalenkowitz, northeast of Mozir, the enemy took several small villages which were re- covered by the Poles after a days fighting.

 End Life
Expect Woman to Die From Her
 Wounds.

Despondent over domestic troubles a woman reported to be Anna TireilO, wife of a shoe maker living at 196 Gregory street, shot herself in the left hand this morning and then, finding that the revolver she was using was in good condi- tion, turned the weapon on her throat and inflicted a wound which it is thought will cause her death.
 Her husband working in the shoe shop heard the shot and ran to his home, two doors away, and when discovered by Emergency doctor B. J. Coyle and Ambulance Driver Chris tian Kost, was holding his thumb over the bullet wound to stop the es- caping flow Of blood. His efforts, however, were but partially success full for on the arrival of the am bulance the floor about her body was literally soaked with blood and the woman's condition is said at St. Vincent's hospital to be such that but little hope is held out for her recovery.
 The revolver was found in the sink of the home with two bullets fired. The woman regained conscious ness for a time at the hospital and when questioned through an interpre- ter as to her reason for attempting her life was unconmunicative.

 The Repab1Tcan party in conven- tfon assembled passed a resolution placing itself on record in favor of granting the right of suffrage to wo men and requesting the governor to call a special session for the purpose of passing upon the, federal suffrage amendment, but the Republican party also endorsed and retained in power the men who have bitterly opposed woman suffrage, J.
