Premier Brands reply to the last
British note, which left here this after
noon, following special Cabinet ses-
sion. at which the Premier's policy was
ratified in detail, calls upon the Brit
ish first to join the new application
to Berlin, insisting that Germany
eventually must grant permission to
allied or French troops to cross Ger
man territory in going to Silesia, and
declares that 1t must be agreed that
the question of sending reenforcements
to Silesia will be the first on the
agenda of the proposed Supreme Coun-
Gil meeting.
French high officials insisted to-
night that Premier BRAND has full
authority to stick to his guns on these
premises, and unless the British ac-
ceptance is unequivocal there can be
no meeting Of the Supreme Council

calls the history of the present contro-
versy reminding Premier Lloyd George
that although the British when It was
first suggested to send reinforcements
to Silesfa questioned the wisdom OF 1t
they did not object and France con-
tin-sd preparations, asking Germany
TO -, portat1on facilities.
In vruer to uphold Frances prestige
Premier BRAND Is insisting THAT support
must be given to him at least as above
outlined 80 that Germany will be unable
to provoke q rupture between the Allies
Although not chan g3ng dis attitude the
French Foreign Office insists that It

PARIS. July 29.-The Havas agency
asserts that France in answering the
principal argument Of the latest BRITISH
note, says Germany has declared that
under the terms of the treaty the 8erd-
ing of reinforcements to Upper Silesia
cannot take place without q previous un-
derstanding between the Allies, and that
France cannot allow the German Gov
ernment thus to try to separate her from
her Allies. 1t is a question Of national
dignity. and thus It 10 necessary TO give
Germany new proofs OF unity on the
Franco British front.
The most rational solution. the note
says, would consist In a collective note
to the German Government prior to the
meeting of the Supreme Council. invit-
Ing Germany to prepare for the passage
of reenforcements through her territory.
Then the Supreme Council would dis
cuss this question at its first meeting
and afterward examine into the division
OF territory in Siiesia.
The Havas Agency adds that this pro-
cedure seems about to be accepted by
both Great Britain and France.

.urney Is . Now Mayor
 Of Straford

Robert B. Turney, 22s6 Elm street, Stratford, has the honor, of being the first mayor of the town, under the new charter that became effective last night. With total membership or the newly elected council present at the first regular meeting, and with between 15O and 200 spectators pres ent in the Town hall, Turney was elected chairman of the council. with which goes the honor of the title Of Mayor, though there, is no real au- thority to=the office, except for cere- monial purposes.
 At the session last evening, which was harmonious, the only official busi- ness transacted besides the election of a chairman was to receive the annual budget for the coming fiscal year from the Board of Finance. The budget was not acted-upon, and probably will be carefully considered by the council for two or three weeks, before being submitted to the voters at public hearing. At this time any points ob- jected to may be brought up by a voter, although the session is not strictly in the nature of an old fash toned town meeting.
 The meeting last night was adjourn ed until Wednesday of this week, in asmuch as the council was not pre- pared to take care of any further business last night. It is not probable that a manager will be chosen immedi- ately, but rather that the budget and matter of a tax rate for the coming year will be taken care of before any thing else is handled.

Too Many Beans
 Thought Judge

Should a person bake 96 pans Of
 beans for private use in private
 family it would be a cons1deraole number of beans. So thought Judge John R. Booth in Common Pleas court today when Ae questioned Will jam H. Scribner of the Bridgeport Gas Appliance Exchange this morn ing. Just why a private family would have an oven installed big enough to accommodate such a plural amount of beans or bread or macaroni was what the judge was trying to find out:
 The Gas Appliance company and the Bridgeport Morris Plan company, both represented by Attorney Freder- ick E. Morgan, have taken exception to an attachment made by Sheriff Patrick J. Reilly, on large oven, 1n- stalled in a private house in foreign section of the city. The oven was sold on a conditional bill of sale and as the transaction was financed the Morris Plan company, the Gas Appliance company did not watch the transaction closely. How ever, for some reason the bill of sale was not properly recorded at the Morris Plan company, with the at tachment for another debt a result The hearing this morning is in the nature of a test case. Private furni- ture is not subject to attachment and Morgan will endeavor to prove that this particular oven was not put in for commercial purposes.

Feeney and Fred Mooney, president and secretary of District Number IT, United Mine Workers of America, indicted in Mingo county in connection with the death of Ambrose Gosslin and Dan Hit, killed during disturbances in the Williamson coal fields last May, were continued by Judge Bailey yesterday until the December term of court. Judge Bailey said the defendants would be admitted to bail if they de- sired it, after Prosecuting Attorney S. D. Stokes offered no objection. How ever, neither Keeney. nor Mooney sig nified what course he would pursue The case of Reece Chambers and Fred Burgran indicted more than a year ago in connection with the killing of w. J. Ferguson, one of the seven Baldwin-Fe1ts detectives killed in the Matteawan battle in May, 1920, was set for October 21. This will be the second trial for Chambers and Bur graf on the same charge. At the con- c1usion of the first one, September 20, last, the jury failed to agree.

Randall May Face Federal
 Prosecution

New York, Oct. 11.-Capt- Albert B. Randall, who was suspended as master of the Shipping Board liner Hudhon because he failed to rescue three men in disabled motor boat off the harbor heree, has been re- Quested by the local office of the United States Steamboat Inspection Service to make a full report. An in spection board from New Haven is sitting here this week and Capt Ran dan may be summoned to appear be- fore it.
 Search of the rules and regulations covering rescues at sea disclosed that Congress, Aug. 1, 1918, approved "An act to harmonic the national law of Galvage with the provisions of the international convention flor the uni fication of certain rules with respect to assistance and salvage at sea-" In this is a section that reads:
 That master or person in charge of a vessel shall, so far as he can do so without serious danger to his own sistance to every person who is found at sea in danger of being lost; and if he fails to do so, he shall, upon con- Fiction, be liable to a penalty of not exceeding $1,00O or Imprisonment for term not exceeding two years, or both.''

Appeal To
 resident To.
 Avert Strike

Chicago, Oct. 11-President Hard- ing is to receive an appeal from the chiefs of the Railway brotherhoods to take steps to avoid a nationwide railroad strike. it became known to- day. The appeal probably will be sent to the President today after a conference of the brotherhood heads here.
 It is understood that the rail union leaders will point out to President Harding that defiance of it's edicts by the Pennsylvania systems and other roads has made ineffective the ser- vices of the railway labor board. They will ask that he establish some other tribunal to function in the present crisis.
 The members of the brotherhoods, it was announced, have voted five to one in favor of a strike
 Although count of the ballots is still incomplete, the votes so far shows 220,150 favoring a strike and 3S,S50 opposing it.
 The union chiefs are sched to meet today although the meeting may be postponed until tomorrow unless the count of the strike ballots is com- p1eted sooner than expected.

Check Case
 Complicated

A rather complicated matter, was presented to Judge John J. Walsh in Commo pleas court today in the ac- ton of A Goldberg, New York city, against J. H. Clampett of this city. The action is brought to recover on a check that passed back and forth several times, and then is alleged by the plaintiff to have been protested, while the defendant claims it was paid. The check was to be offered as evidence, much endorsed, stamped, and considerably soiled. A trade for horses is what started the check on it's checkered career, and from the lightning like speed with which it was chased back and forth between Bridgeport and New York it would seem that the horses involved had been used for an old fashioned pony express. or that someone did a ride with the check that vanquished Paul Revere with his lantern. Goldberge is represented by Shapiro & Shapiro and the defendant by Foster & Morgan

Think Salick /
 Tried To Jump

Coroner John J. Phe1an this morn ing held a short hearing into the death of Stephen Salick. 49. of 1855 Aubu urn street, who was killed Satur- day afternoon by fast freight train when he attempted to cross the tracks at point in the West End beyond State street extension.
 One witness was heard this morn ing. No evidence was forthcoming as to the, man being under the influence of liquor, it being the impression of the witness that the unfortunate man attempted to jump from danger but and fell, which accounted for the horrible manner in which his body was ground 70 pieces.

The Republican situation remains unchanged except for a few addi- tfona1 names that are being talked of. The Republicans seem to have taken for granted that Fred Atwater will be the choice of the Democrats and that he will receive most of the sup port of the Republican Voters League unless the latter name the Republican candidate. The administration lead CTS are determined, however. that the keage should not be gf~en control aud they are prepared to lose their finan- c1al and other help. It seems a hso- lute1y cetrain that the 21 adnairistra- uon and organization delegates will do the naming of the mayora1 choice Who this will be is still an open ques- ton with Wilson's friends still claim ing that he will win out It will prob ably be a choice for these organiza- ton men between the Mayor and the League, and if that is the case the Mayor in going to get the non1ina- ton.
 good deal of talk was aroused yesterday by the resigT1ation of T Hines as president of the First Dis trfct Republican Club. It was said that MT Hines was threatened by the
 mayor that unless he supported him he would lose his position as secre- tary of the fire board The mayor would not comment other than to say mat there was no truth in the story IliIieS Said that he had resigned from the club because it was in good po- sition and did not need him and that he was out of politics He denied that he had been threatened
 The truth of the matter seems to De that when Robert Cherry wished 10 De represented at the convention by proxy, he gave his seat to Hines VITO found himself in an embarrass- ing position as he is not a supporter or the mayor and still is in a dificuIt position becaues of his position on the ire beard. He therefore gave the proxy to Theodore Steiber, a close frlend to Wilson It is quite possible however, that when the convention feconVenes there may be some pro- test made on the credentials that Steiber holds.
 William Boyd Spencer has been advanced recently as another candi- date who would be highly acceptab to the Voters League. Ths boom for spencer was started at a meeting of the Methodist Mems club on Sunday. addressed by Clarence E. BiIton. Bii, ton was speaking on the necessity of cleaning out city. hall and asked his auditors to help him try to find an ideal candidate. Some one suggested Spencer, and Biton is said to have agreed that he was just the type who was needed.

Shortage Is
 Now Put At $45,OOO

Ansonia, Oct. 11-william Cowles, vice president of the American Brass company, stated that the investiga- ton of the accounts of Joseph D. Brown, missing cashier of the com pany here had been completed, his total dedication had been found to consist of the taking of Liberty Bonds to the par value of s45,0OO The bonds were taken from the vaults of the Ansonia National Bank to which he had access as cashier, and were the property of the Land x Water Power company, a subsidiary of the American Brass company Browns other accounts have been ex- amined and found to be correct
 The bonds taken by Brown had been placed in the banks vaults for safe keeping some time ago. When the last inventory of the company's securities was taken March 31 the bonds in the vaults totalled S37.ooO. In May the company made purchase of additional bonds valued at SS,000, and these were placed in the banks safety deposit vaults also. All were taken.
 When Brown left, ostensibly on his annual two weeks vacation. Sept. IT, he said he was going to Marshfeld, Wis, where he has relatives. He never reached that destination and his present whereabouts is com- plete mystery
