 ious Blaze.

McGOVERN STILL
 KEEPS SILENT

Edward J. McGovern of 59 Cherry street still maintains a stolid silence regarding the details of the death of Mrs. Mary LapocZka of 301 Bostwick avenue, who was found dead in a room at the formers home early last Wednesday morning. His attitude is baffling to the police who seek to fix the responsibility for the crime on McGovern. Further grilling of the prisoner who is being held on a tech nicaI charge of breach of the peace, refused to make him change the sec ond story he told to the effect that the woman had jumped from a window in the Cherry street house, sustaining a fracture of the skull which caused her death.
 The police are still working on the theory that McGovern killed the woman in a drunken brawl but can not find new clues in the case to strengthen their belief. Despite the questioning which he has gone through McGovern has not broken down and is taking his Imprisonment calmly.

ARMISTICE DAY
 PROCLAMATION
A PROCLAMATION,

November Il is the second an- niversary of the signing of the armistice which terminated active hostilities in the late war with Germany. It is the date, memor- able forever in American history. which marks the victorious end of the mightieSt military effort of the nation. Very properly this day has been chosen by the Amer ican Legion as the memorial day of that war and it will be cele- brated as such throughout the country. In Bridgeport a parade will be held at 7:3o in the evening through the principal streets of the city in which all veteran and patriotic organizations will par ticipate. I therefore call upon all our citizens to give their best eff forts to making the observance of this day a success and particu- 1ar1y I request our merchants along the line of march to deco rate and illuminate their places of business on that evening. The day should further be called to the attention of the children in our. schools that they may learn from it's observance the value which their country places upon the sac rifices of it's soldier dead and upon the institutions and ideals for which they died and which the victory of that day assured to us as nation.

 turbed but he has said in public utterances that he desired to have no negotiations with foreign agents therity.
 | The delicacy of MT. Harding's po- sition in that regard has been point ed out more sthan once by those closely associated with him. Elected to the presidency by an overwhelm- ing majority after promising many changes in the nations foreign pol
 icy, he naturally is looked to by for eign governments to take the proper steps to put thos echanges into eff feet. Yet by proviso of American law, unique among the greater pow
 CTS of the world, he remains a pri- vate citizen for four months forbid den by diploma ic propriety to take any hand in the direction of execu- tive affairs.
 At a time when important interna- tional problems are pending not only I with the powers of the old world but with Mexico, Japan China and other na ions, this situation takes on additional interest. It is understood that several men representing them

Harding WiH Wait
 Until He s President

On Board Presid ent-F:lect Harding s Special Train, Nov. S.-Coming to Texas for vacation after the trying requirements of his campaign, Presi- dent-elect Harding declared today that he was determined to put aside thoughts of his coming responsi bili- ties and to give himself over for the next two weeks to complete rest and recreation.
 Te told his friends that he expected to stay off the front page and to cease rater in the day-to day column of the daily newspapers.
 From the time of his arrival at Point Isabel, small and remote vil- lage on the southern Texas coast, he was ready to plunge unreservedly into the swing of a real vacation Hunting, fishing and golf are the par ticular vacation offerings of the place but of the three he expe>ed to omit hunting because it never has been among his favorite sports. A morn ing's fishing expedition and an after. noon on the golf links were to con Stitute his routine during virtually every day of his visit.
 The fact that Point Isabel lies only six miles from the Mexican border has given rise to many whisperings of possible conferences between the new president-elect and representa- but those closest to MT. Hardins g were inclined to throw cold water on these reports. MT. Harding him self said today that no such confer ences were 'in prospect and that he had heard them expressed only in the newspaper speculation.
 The same attitude was taken by
