 Precautionary measures for safety were being taken by the working pop ulation, workmen's cars in the early hours proceeding without lights so that they might have better chances of reaching their destinations without casualties.
 London, Nov. 23-The first formal conference between representatives of the government and Sim Feiners since the meetings between British cabinet members and the Ulster repre- sentatfves was held in Downing Street this morning. Lloyd George, and Wis., count Birkenhead, met Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins, Dail Eireann delegates, accompanied to the prime minister's residence by Ramon J. Duggan.
 The government at the conference put before the Sim Feip various pro- posals for meeting Listers objection to the proposed all-Ireland parlia- ment, as well as a suggestion that Ulster be left temporarily she is while the rest of Ireland receives fiscal autonomy, which would make its taxa ton less than that of Ulster.
 The Sim Fein publicity depart ment, declares that the Dail Eireann can consent to none of these plans. The all-Ireland parliament, it de- clares, must be established at the out set and not postponed for any term of years.

Arbuckle
 Is Likely To
 Coon Stand

San Francisco, Nov. 23-Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle was fighting today for vindication.
 we want to make the defense case so simple and so convincing that not only will this defendant be acquitted but so he will stand vindicated," Gavin McNab, his chief counsel said today.
 Two upsets at the start of the de- fense in no way disheartened McNab and his associates. It was learned to- day that it Is the intention of the de- fense to set up theory to account for the happenings construed by the state as evidence of the film stars guilt. "So simple and such common sense as to have been overlooked by the prosecution"
 Fatty is likely to take the stand in his own defense. This is a matter which probably will not be finally de- ternined until a few minutes before the comedian takes the stand
 ''ArbuckIe is ready and willing to take the stand-in fact, anxious, a member of the defense counsel said today. 'The progress of the case will decide"

This four story brown stone front structure built ip 1855 with the somewhat ornate extenior finish of that period was regarded as a landmark among older residents of the city. In it for a long time the New Haven Palladium, a morning newspaper now out of existence was published.
 For fully forty years the Palladium Building was the center of much ac- tivity because of the accommodations it afforded. Of late years it had been occupied for commercial purposes. The fire was first noticed by a patrol man in Orange street and shortly af- ter he gave the alarm flames were spreading throughout the upper floor. Three alarms were sounded. While threatening in aspect for some min utes the fire was quickly subdued. The three upper floors were gutted but the walls were left intact.

Mulyihiu Is
 Much Stirred ByBoardSplit

Denis Mulvihill, for several years mayor of Bridgeport, and for some time member of the Board of Educa- tion, has pronounced views on the division of opinion which has come up among the members of the board.
 Ut is not" he said today, "neces- sarily the person with the longest ex- perience who knows the most about a thing, or who Is the most desirable for an office, otherwise the incumbent of the officer of mayor would not have been peremptorily booted out the other day, and a new man would not have been put in.
 .aThe three Democratic members of the Board of Education are certainly competent men. One of them is an editor of long experience and with great knowledge of public life, who has made extensive studies into the educational systems of other places and countries as we'll as of the system in use in Bridgeport. Dr. Edward F. McGovern, is highly trained man, a graduate of Bridgeport High, col lege man, and one who held the com mission of captain in the late war.
 owen Burns has had four years service on the Board of Education, and for more than 35 years he had that required high skill in manage ment of personnel in executive abil- ity and in that sort of character which enables a man to get along with his fellow man. He Is certainly as well qualified for the work that he will do as vice president of the board as any man I know.
 Moreover, though the fact is not generally known, MT. Burns is cultur- ed in literature, and his verse has been often published and is of high order.
 .'No," said the Tormer mayor" do not wish to- be interviewed, but since you have sought me out, you may say that my ideas are as have expressed them to you.
 And to my way of thinking the members Of the board who seize upon the death of a fellow member for the purpose of carrying out their own purely selfish ideas, are not setting an example of educational value Eourtesy Is also a part of life. Gen. erosity is something of value in an education. am sure that Owen Burns would not in any act of his life be as discourteous and as ungenerous as his four colleagues who regard themselves apparently, as very much his superiors-"

 rom Potter

''I have absolutely nothing to say" was the statement to J. B. Potter, when called upon by the Times this morning. There are no figures to he given out, and we have received few p1aints regarding the service since the change last Sunday He admitted many complaints had been received concerning the extra fare to suburbanites. Old style single truck cars being brought up from Westport repairs, and not for service, accord ing to Potter.
 Reports have reached the Times of service on several lines. North Main street service Is said to be good, with no noticeable increase in riding. This line always enjoyed the best service In the city. One Times re- porter waited on the corner of North and Park avenues at 9:20 last evening g for 12 minutes before either Brook lawn or Stratfield car, inbound. came into view. The matter of open bridges cannot affect either of these routes under the new system.
 Unofficial1y, receipts on one run Monday were said to be almost eX- ectIy, with the five cent fare. as they used to be when there were fewer riders, but at ten cents. Cars leaving the center shortly after five last even ing for Paradise Green were packed They are cars of the old type, and passe gers were standing two and three breast Many were unable to a1ight until & block or two past their intended destination because of con- gestion around the rear door. Stand ing was in order for some until Stra?- ford center was reached. Though the fare is no less. or more, many pas sengers were still on the car when the terminal was reached though whether there was a shortage of cars could not be ascertained-
 In the meantime conditions which 1 riders J1n h will have to continue at least until another official statement comes from the Public Utilities commission A draft Of the official petition of protest from the Manufacturers association Q the Business Mems association, and tie Retail Board of the Chamber o1 Commerce is expected to be ready .fis afternoon. This will be forward cd to Hartford. and an early decision probably before the end of the week is anticipated.

While it is possible S5,G00 or S6,00O of the sum will be granted, the commission CTS will not receive the the full ST. 500.
 Whether the requests of the Board of Education for an extra SS,500 for fuel supplies will be granted, was not known at press time as the report of the subcommittee had not yet been received.

 The proceeding is an aftermath of the printers strike which was begun against the three newspapers of the Post Publishing Company, about August 20.
 The plaintiff bases its demand for that a strike no longer exists. Through Edward Flicker, treasurer and business manager,it says that it, at the time of the strike, employed about in other departments about 43, both men and womenL The composing room was operated under an agree ment with the union, which is vol untary association, of which Fitzger- aid is president, and Taring, secre- tary. Most of the other defendants were employees of the plaintiff.
 About August 20, the plaintiff handed a copy of a voting list to its employees to set, which they refused to do, thus the plaintiff claims, vio- lating the arbitration clause of the working agreement with the union. (Continued on Page Sfx)
