ACTION SHOWS KORFANTY TO
 HAVE POWER

London, May 1.-The foreign af- fairs committee of the Polish parlia- ment has voted lack of confidence in the present governmen and Premier E1apieha is about to resign, accord ing to a despatch from Warsaw to- day.
 In some quarters this report was interpreted as an indication that the influence of Adelbert korfanty the Polish Nationalist leader, has proved sufficiently strong to wield the club of threatened overthrow of tha heads of the present ministers.
 In other circles, however, it was suggested that it would be a shrewd and logical move on the part of the Polish government at this juncture- in view of yesterdays "eurtain lee ture" to Poland by Lloyd George to step aside, thus causing a minis teria1 crisis with consequent delay of action to stay the hand of the bel ligerent korfanty, and presenting to the Allies an entire new slate of min isterS with whom the whole matter would have to be gone all over again.

POSTAL CLERKS
 GET REV0LVERS

With the arrival at the local rail- road station late yesterday of several heavy army revolvers with generous supply of ammunition and other equipment, Postmaster General Will H. Hays policy of arning postal em- ployeeS engaged in handling valuable mail matter assumed local interest
 Earlier in the week all the through trains passing Bridgeport carried one or more armed guards and with the equipping of the railway mail clerks at the local depot with Colts army service revolver, caliber 45, the pro- lection of this branch of the postal service is complete.
 The instructions accompanying the artillery require the revolver to be worn in a belt and holster which is strapped to the thigh of the postal clerks. It must be carried at all times when on duty accompanying import ant mail matter. The 'tga,t'' is a for midable looking weapon, thoroughly oiled and in first class condition. A consignment of guns for the use of railway postal clerks whose runs be- gin and end in Brid geport was also re- ceived and distributed to the clerks in charge of these trains.

TO TRY YOUNG WADE TUESDAY

Ivan L. Wade will be tried Tuesday when the Criminal. Superior court term is resumed His trial will be held in the same court room in which his brother, Elwood, was meted out a death sentence for the murder of George B. Mott. last August.
 When Ivan Wade is placed on trial Tuesday for burglary, the alleged break being at the residence of B. F. Cooney, 51 Bancroft avenue, his brother will know his fate, for the board of pardons will meet next Mon day to make final disposition of his case Frederick E. Morgan, one of the Wade lawyers throughout the murder trial is also representing his brother charged with burglary.
 The fact that a special session of the Board of Pardons has been called for Monday is taken by many to mean that the governor believes there is little chance of action favorable to Wade, for if there was anything more than very remote reason for ex- pecting clemency the regular session scheduled for June 13 would be soon enough to handle the case.

CHILDREN
 ARE BARRED
 FROM COURT

Children of parents who come into the City court to settle martial trou- bles will probably be kept out of the courtroom in the future when Judge Frederic A Bartlett is on the bench X step was taken in this direction to- day, during the trial of Harry .Schrone, of 622 Howard avenue, who was arraiSned on charges of non-sup- port
 Seeing three children of the couple iu court, Judge Bartlett inquired, Who brought these children in here? It is bad enough to have a man and wife in court without set ting an example for the children The youn gSters were removed from the room.
 Mrs Schrone testified that her hus- band left their home in New Y ork city six years ago. and that she had never heard from him or received any financial support since that time. Schrone admitted that he had been here for number of years. and work ed in the Columbia GTaphophone Company's plant under the name of Harry Lewis He said that he left his wife because she was always making trouble for him.
 Judge Bartlett continued the case until Monday. under bonds of $500. It is believed that Schrone I-ill agree to some arrangem ent whereby he can contribute to the support of his wife and children

There are some fourten persons in the faculty of the Normal school. who, with the principal, Leroy Weller, con stitute the faculty.
 Eleven of these instructors have combined against Dr. Weller and have demanded his removal.
 The spectacle of so large a. body of teachers going about from one mem Der of the Board of Education to the other, and the gossip inseparabIe from such activity, has disclosed a bitter quarrel. between Superintendent Slawson. and Principal Weller, of which the crusade of the instructors seems % be a phase.
 The difference of opinion, as de- scribed by the teachers, is of long existence, but begins in the charge made by Principal Weller, to the Board of Education, that the work in the Normal school is not up to stand ard, but that the conditions which exist are not his fault.
 pr. Weller asserts that he has not been really principal of the school. but that the real hands of it have been three young instructors, from a small town in New York state, which he as serts were close personal friends of uperintendent Slawson and his fam fly. These instructors he says, have practiced a system of education which results in disorder, lack of applica- ton and lack of discipline among the children, a virtual anarchy, as Dr. Weller describes it.
 These three instructors, accused by Dr. Weller, are a part of the deiega- ton which has visited the members of the board.
 The situation is one of the most difficult which the Board ever faced, and it is complicated because parents of the children who go to the Normal school have made repeated complaints of the condition of the school.
 Persons familiar with the situation say that there is little doubt the school is in bad shape, and that the question is as to the responsibility for. this condition
 Dr. Weller is a well known educa- tor. He has excellent reconlme enda- tions from his other places, and has been president of a small college
 Mr Sfawson has been principal or the Bridgeport schools for some years, and has made many changes in the system, since he was in control
 Supt SIawson has said that he will not recommend pr. Weller for reap pointment unless he retracts his as- sertion that the Normal school Is not in good shape. Weller refuses to re- tract.
 Because of the charges he has made against the Normal school, the in structors accuse Dr. Weller of 'd1s-a loyalty to the schools and to them.

and injured, but information is beine received at the sherif's office here by messenger.
 Shippers hidden in the hills have stopped all traffic along the highway that traverses the towns along the 5 mile battle front. By Keeping the highway under fire the move ment of endorsements to points where fighting was the severest has been greatly retarded.
 Sheriff A. c. Pinson has arranged with the Norfolk and Western rail road to have an enginet and steel coach ready to move instantly to any of the towns in the battle zone.
 The inability of the authorities to check the battle has embo1dened the attacking parties and the situation is becoming more acute each hour.
 It is known there is sufficient num- ber of rifles and ammunition cached in the mountains to last for an in- definNa period The attacks are be- ing made along concerted lines ,in- dicating that they have been prear- ranged. For months rifles and am< munition have been accumulated and the opening shot in the battle was not fired until there was a supply of ammunition on. hand to last a con- siderable period.

MAY USE COSTLY PLAZA FOR WORTH
 WHILE PROJECT

A systematic Ixovenent is on foot to reorganize the Bridgeport Garden ers' Market on the Plaza. Albert F. Wilkinson, specialist in vegetable gardening of Connecticut Agricu1tur- al College at Storrs, is laboring to bring the market to the high stand ards maintained by such cities as Rochester and Albany, N. T., Quincy. Mass, and a large number of other forward thinking cities.
 Mayor Wilson, Supt. of Public Works Jacob A. Courtade and Supt. of Police Patrick J. Flanagan are en- thusiastic over the possibilities. They agree to:
 A public market on which growers only can sell.
 A wholesale market from early morning until z a. m.
 A consumers market from z to 10 l.. m. where the large consuming pub lie of Bridgeport can buy absolutely Home Grown" strictly fresh produce directly from the growers.
 A systematic arrangement of the market place in the Plaza; by con struction of a 10 it. wide plank walk built across the center of the two north sections of the Plaza.
 By marking off 10 it. spaces on each side of plank walk and sides of nearby sidewalk for definite stalls or growers stands.
 V 1oting stalls to individual growers for the season.
 By the construction of a blackboard on which average prices of produce are posted daily for the benefit of both consumer and grower.
 The. Bridgeport Fruit and Vege- table Growers Association have voted to a man to support the market.
 The various clubs, societies and churches of Bridgeport have been ap- preached on the subject and they are very willing to aid.
 Through these various agencies and the newspapers the individual con sumer will be informed. No year needs the saving of direct selling more than the season of 1921. Lack of work or less pay forces closer study of expenses.
 Nearby Home Crown produce, what can compare to that? Absolute ly nothing.
