Hartford Trolley Chief
Kills Self Over Debts
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

HARTFORD, Conn, April 7.-Leav-
ing note to his wife, Warren P
Bristol, manager of Hartford's trolley
system, committed suicide in Keney
Park to- day by shooting himself
through the right temple with bullet
from a so caliber revolver. The troll
ley company officials automobile was
found in the roadway about 200 feet
from where the body lay under a bower
of trees.
81 did very little bad in borrowing
money" said the note, scribbled hur-
riedly in pencil. In the note Mr.. Bris
tol also referred to the fact that he
was respondent over money matters
and gave directions concerning some
insurance policies.
1t is generally understood that Mr..
Bristol feared heavy losses on high
priced insurance stocks which had de-
preciated during the war. and that he
had gone deeply into debt in his ef-
forts to prevent losses.
The body was found by Benjamin
Brown Bellows, of Detroit, employed
by the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance
Company.

advanced by Japan as a plea in the
Yap instance
Japan's Claims Recognized
1t is already foreseen that the Allies
eventually will have to say to America
that the Japanese dispute is one which
must be settled between the United
States and Japan Already in February
1917, France and England, at the in
stance of the latter, are reported to
have come to an agreement that all
the former German islands north of
the equator should go to Japan when
the war was over, and under this treaty
France and England are still solemnly
bound unless released by Japan
Americas lack of a definite policy
and her entrance into the war declar-
ing that she was prepared to give
everything while desiring no rewards
can now be cited to show that she at
tached no conditions to the helping
hand which she lent Europe
Serious observers of the situation
express considerable anxiety as to what
ultimately may happen. They see every
reason why the United States and
Japan should reach wholehearted
agreement of some kind at all costs,
yet they recognize the psychological
difficulties in the way. The Japanese
are seen to be too proudly tenacious
of technicalities and legal rights, while
America, they say, is making Yap a
sentlm entail symbol out of all proper
ton to the Importance Of the island.

REVAL, Esthonia, April 7 (By The
Associated Prcss) The "decaying

pcted as the worst tyranny in the
world by Dr. Morris Fucker, known here
as a leader and organizer Of the Com
munist party in the United States,
whose home is in Brooklyn, on his ar
rival here to-day from Moscow, after
nearly five months in Pussia.
Conditions steadily are becoming
worse" DR.. Fucker declared. "What
little foreign trade Eussia is able to
get is of no help to the people, who
everywhere are the victims of tyranny
and go about in a hopeless attitude be-
cause of the great and constant Red
terror"
Dr. Fucker last June was pardoned
by President Wilson after having been
sentenced to fifteen years imprison-
ment on being found guilty Of sedition
He left the United States in Septem-
Der and arrived in Russia in Novem-
ber. Three days after his arrival in
Moscow DR.. Fucker was imprisoned

Inside the prison walls, DR.. Fucker
said, he met victims of Bolshevik tyr

they had opposed beinD ruled by the
small Bolshcyik minority. These in
cluded former grand dukes and work

to DR.. Fucker, was their opposition to

group of Germans on the way home
from Russia, where they were prison.
ers, said he hoped to return to the
United States to relate the facts re-
garding Russia "to disillusion those
who think there is anything like free
dom under the Soviets"
In prison in Moscow, Dr. Fucker said,
there still are a number of Americans,
some Of whom he saw and some he did
not see. These included Royal C. Keely,
an electrical mechanical expert of New
York, who had been in prison eight
months; William Flick, of Brooklyn,
and Dr.. Estes, who went to Russia last
September to take motion pictures :;
Mrs Marguerite Z. Harrison. an Ameri

Demetrius Kalimatian, an American Of
Greek parentage, who had been two and
one-half years in prison, and Captain
Emmet Fitzpatrick, of the American Red
Cross, who is in concentration camp.
These prisoners, like Fucker him

asserted, most of them being threat

BERLIN, April 7.-While spending
gold lavshly in final desperate eff
fort to stir up revolution in western
Europe through Communist uprIslngs
in Germany, the Russian Bolsheviki
arc making last-minute efforts to save
themselves. They are ready to abandon
the last vcstiges of their program and
to return to capitalism in industry, as
we'll as agriculture, without much state
control, literally to save their own
necks. Premier Leninc is reported to
be placing less and less reliance in his
concessions to peasants, for on all
sides the farmer class are losing con-
hdence in the Red regime and now re-
fuse to surrender thcir foodstuffs to
supply the starving cities.
The Tribune correspondent learns
authoritativcly that M. Zinovieff, Gov
ernor Of Pctrograd and one of the four
powers of the Soviet government, de-
clarcd at a recent labor conference in
Petrograd:
"Our situation is very bad. Every
body is unnerved and making impos-
sible demands

then we will invite the non -partisans to
cooperate with US. We will admit them

ance, she would not be the only nation
badly hurt from the moral and econom-
ical crisis. The whole world would
suffer through that situation.
"The United States already has un-
derstood that situation, and IN the ener-
getic note recently delivered by the
American government to Germany, she
showed, as everybody expected, that
she would not desert the cause of JUS
tice after so nobly having sacrlned
for it,"
NJ. Viviani and DR.. Knecht departed
from the chamber before their motor
cycle police escort had finished dining.
They climbed into their sedan, while
policemen held at a distance several
thousand clerks, stenographers and
messengers. The chauffeur started his
engine The police, thinking they
were leaving. ceased their efforts to
hold the crowd in check. Just then DR..
Knecht, discovering the motorcycle
guard was not there, told the chauffeur
to wait.
In a moment the automobile was en-
quilted by the curious Messengers
press their noses against the glass
sides of the car and gazed ntently at
the inmates as though they were look
ing into an aquarium. The French
men were visibly disturbed by this at
tention and just as visibly relieved
when a thick-waisted police sergeant
scattered the besiegers.
Then the motorcycle guard appeare d
and the party drove to the Vanderbilt
Hotel for brief rest before the cere-
monies at the City Hall. There the
envoy was presented to Mayor Hylan.
In an address of welcome the Mayor
said:

DUBLIN, April 1.-THE development.
Of the industrial crisis in Great Britain
is being followed closely IN Ireland
where the attitude toward the situation
is governed by conflicting feelings.
On the one hand, Ireland shares the
disadvantages Of possessing practically
no native coal and prices are rising as
English shipments are being stopped
although the reserves are fairly good
On the other hand, the Nationalists, re-
membering the cynical old saying
"England's difficulty Is Ireland's oppor-
tunity," hope some political advantage
for Ireland may result.
The Nationalist press comments
cautiously on the emergency legisla-
tion as being the transfer of military
rule in Ireland to England. The i'm
mediate reaction in Ireland is likely
to be marked by an increase Of Sim
Fein hostilities beyond the recent
raids in the northern counties.
An unusually reckless ambush in
Dublin last night outside the crowded
railway terminal resulting in three
deaths probably marks the beginning
of campaign which in the light of
the heavy withdrawals of British
troops it will be impossible to stop.
DUBLIN, April 7.-Dublin Castle to-
night reported that at midnight
Wednesday masked armed men held up
the manager and the assistant man
ager of the Hibcrnian Bank in Charles
town, took from them the keys of the
safe and made off with 5000 pounds
sterling.
simultaneously, other persons raided
the Charlestown postoffice and took
away all the letters, except those that
had been registered.

John Devine and Daniel Doherty, resi-
dents Of Dromore, County Tyrone, were

1t is believed they were victims of re-
prisals for attacks made upon crown
forces Tuesday night.
