SAYS WIFE PICKETED
 HIS OFFICE

Represented by Judge W. H. Com ley, Bridgeport, and Attorney Esser of Mt. Vernon, Mrs. Bertha White was ready today to defend the divorce Dr. John F. White Mrs. WhEte lives in Mt. Vernon, while her husband is making every effort to convince the court that he established and kept a residence in Connecticut previous to and since he served tin the army.
 The Whites are prominent in Mt Vernon and White Plains society, and the court room was crowded with was called on the stand. On cross examination by Judge Comley he be- came very nervous, and show a. lack of memory of details regarding en- listment papers filled out in 1917.
 During the war he was a. captain in the medical corps, served at Camp Sherman, Ohio; and Ft. Ontario. New Y ork, being sent overseas where he was assigned to the Sth division, and was elevated to the rank of major. The court battle centers around a pretty seven year old daughter, Mary Elizabeth. who has been in the GUS tory of the mother since the father and mother signed a separation agree men+ in 1911.
 White charged that his wife picket ed his office after the separation and so ruined his medical practice that a residence in Connecticut was desir- able. The defense maintained that the move to Connecticut was to eStab- fish residence because of the divorce action, and pointed out that New York state addresses were given on enlistment papers, and that last fall, White endeavored to be made a Con- necticut voter, after starting his di- vorce action
 Miss May Celestia Clark, E. Port chester, and Nathaniel A. Knapp, town treasurer of Greenwich were called to the stand this morning It is evident that White will be recalled for as yet his counsel, Attorney Hackett of Cummings and Lockwood, Stamford, had not yet touched upon the infideIity charged when a recess was taken.

INFANT MORTALITY
 CUT TO 71 PER GENT.

The infant mortality in this city during the month of January, Febru- ary, Marchsand April covering a per iod of five years from 1915 to 1920 was 97 deaths out of every 1000 ba- bies born. During the four month period of 1920 the rate was 9S deaths to every 1000 born.
 Starting January 1, 1921, Dr. Will liam Hall Coon, chief of the depart ment of health, inaugurated a staff of community nurses who have been advising prospective mothers and teaching mothers the proper care of infants. One half of the babies that die is due to the ignorance of the mother in taking care of the child.
 During the first four months of this year, due to the splendid work of these nurses, the infant mortality has dropped to T1 per 1000 children born. From January 1 to May |, and only 104 infants have died This is the largest drop. if continued throughout the year, of any commun- ity the size of Bridgeport in the United States.
 Health stations have been esta.b- lished all through the city which will give these nurses a chance to come in touch with all prospective mothers in the various neighborhoods and as sist in the upbringing of all chi1- dren up to the age of five years.

WILL NOT SEND OUR TROOPS INTO
 RUHR DISTRICT
American Forces Will Remain Along Rhine Until Admin stration Decides They Have Fulfilled Their Mission Under Terms of Armistce- Then They: Will Come Home

Washington, May 1O- While the United States is again taking part in the de- Alterations of Allied states men on postwar problems the participation of this country distinctly does not embrace the use of Ameri- can troops for any purposes which are now discernible from Washington.
 Officials made this clear today when reports were called to their at tention which hinted at the possible allied advance into German territory and in the serious disorders which have broken out in Upper Silesia.
 The American forces under Major General Henry T. Allen now on the Rhine, numbering around 8,5Ge are going to remain there until the ad- ministration decides they have full filled their mission under the terms of the armistice of November II, 1918, then they are going to be brought home It was stated today, they will not be called on to do any fighting unless some one deliberate ly picks a quarrel with them and of ficiaIs here do not sec any such con tingency as that arising.
 It would be manifeStly impossible it was pointed out here today for the American forces to take part in any allied advance into German terri tory.
 If the Allies ordered their troops into Germany it will be to carry out the provisions of the treaty of Yer sailIes, of which this government is not a. signatory. Likewise if the Al lies send additional forces into Upper Silesia, it will be to carry out the provisions of the treaty and the league, in which this government has only an academic interest

FEAR FOR SAFETY OF LOCAL MAN ON
 MISSING VESSEL

Grave fears are entertained by of ficials of the Navy Department for the safety of Thomas c. Quinn of 1OS Rose street, Bridgeport, and several other members of the crew of the United States fleet tug Conestoga, which has been missing for the past four weeks. The vessel ran into a terrific tropical storm on April 8, off the coast of Hawaii and was last heard from as she departed on a search for a barge that had been torn adrift by the high seas.
 Quinn is well known in Bridgeport and is a brother of Harry P. Quinn, former cafe owner of Fairfield ave nue. He first enlisted in the navy in 1918, and served during the war as ago when volunteers were asked to mann the Conestoga, in navy parlance known as a "baby battleship." and re- garded as a risky vessel because of it's diminutive size and precarious mis- sions, young Quinn offered his ser

 According to information imparted by the Navy Department, the Cones toga left San Diego, Cal, early in March for Mare Island, and left the navy yard for Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, March 27, bound for Guam.
 The vessel barring miShaps should have arrived at the Hawaiian naval base on April 10. Fast mine layers from the mine force at Pearl Harbor are reported to have been sent to search for the missing naval vessel. Naval authorities report that no naval warships will be despatched to search the steamer lane for the little craft unless orders are received from Washington.
 She carried a personnel of thirty of ficers and men, including Lieutenant F. L. Jones, commanding: BoatSwain R. F. Hoffese, Boatswain H. H. Rein bold Machinist l.. A. Iiscomb, and Pharmacist Thomas c. Quinn.

 Crisis M
 Britain
Threat of General Strike Tn Sympathy With Coal Mlners-Refusal to Han dle Foreign Coal.

London, May 1O-A new labor crisis menaced Great Britain today and the Gov ernment acted to meet the revived threat of a general strike in sympathy with the coal miners.
 The government is making prepar-- atlonS to take over Hyde park and convert 1t into great military and transportation center for the distri- button of the necessities of life.
 Military lorries. operated by sol diers, may be utilized for the move ment of coal and food. An elaborate plan has been worked out for the re- lief Of the public if the railway men and the dock workers join the miners.
 Transport workers and railwaymen throughout the United Kingdom are refusing to handle foreign coal. The railway signal men have served for nal notice that they will not handle trains bearing Sea-borne coal.
 Following a meeting of the cabinet on Monday night the railway compa- nies were ordered to make arrange ments 'to carry out their duty as public carriers"
 A conference was held between Sec retary Williams of the Federation e Transport Workers and Sir Eric tIeuoeS, minister or transportation, but no progress towards a settlem ent was made. On the contrary, Secre- tary Williams announced later that ''he would do his best to tighten fthe embargo against foreign coal.'
 A complete stoppage of shipping is threatened as a. result of the coal sh ortage and the complaints of sea- faring workers who threaten to join t;La general strike if it comes to pass.
 This was the fortieth day of the coal strike, which, it is estimated, is costing the country about SS,000,00O daily in loss of mine production, loss of wages property deterioration and unemployment doles.

GANG REAPS BIC
 HARVEST THROUGH BAD MONEY ORDERS

New York, May 1o-FederaI agents here continued today their efforts to round up a gang of men and women who for some time have been reap ing golden harvest through an al- most Countrywide bogus postal money order scheme.
 Among the cities where the crooks collected a total of s250,0OO by sell ing forged money orders which they had stolen from drug stores are Bridgeport, Chicago, Cincinnati, Pat erson, N. J., Rochester, N. Y., Syra- cuse, Albany and Boston. Wholesale dumping of forged money orders on New York theatres led to the discov- cry of the scheme.
 The only case which occurred in Bridgeport, was that of Nathan Roemer, of 64 West 18th street, New York city. Roemer was arrest ed here by a post office official on April 12. after he had attempted to pass a stolen money order at Caesar Misch's store in Main street. He was bound over to the May term of the United States court by L. S. Commis- sioner Hugh J. Lavery, unf1der bonds of 5000. He supplied the bail.
