OLD TOWN WAKES TO FIND WINTER

 Although winter was not officially recognized until yesterday it has made pretty good showing so far appearing on the scene, as it did with temperature of two above zero yesterday morning and a bitterly cold wind.

Washington, Dec. 23-Corroborative evidence to support testimony of Henry L. Scott of Kenmore, Ohio, that Major "Opley' or "Opie" shot down an enlisted man without provo cation" during a battle in France was handed today by Senator Tom Wat son of Georgia, to Senator Brandegeer chairman of the Senate committee in vestigating Watson's charges that Tanks were indisCriminately killed by their officers in France.
 Brandegee Issued Subpoena,
 Senator Brandegee Immediately or dered a subpoena issued for the writer, Grayson H. Withrow, otS Baltimore. He was ordered to appear before the committee Jan. 1.
 According to Scott's story under oath, "Opley," who had been tdenti- fed as It. Col. Hierome L. Opie, Staunton, Va, formerly of the 116th Infantry, shot down two men at the front on two different occasions, one a sergeant who was seeking protection in a shell hole, and the other a run ner who refused to hand a message to Opie on the latter's demand. Opie has issued a denial of Scott s charges and branded him as a 'skulk- CT by his own testimony

Collins and Griffith Score Victory Over
 President De Valera
of Dali Looked Upon As Favorable To Ratification of Irish Pact - to A Vote Taken As Indication of Strength Between President and His Opponents.

London. Dec. 2s.-tBy the A. P)-- The Dail Erieann's adjournment of further debate on the Irish peace treaty until January 8, although d surprise here, was considered favor able for ratification. By agree ent between the contending factions, Dail members will deliver no speeches touching on the treaty during the pe- riod of adjournment nor participate in public meetings at which the treaty is discussed, but 1t is believed the Irish people will get together and ag- itate for ratification.
 Agricultural and business associa- tions and civic bodies in Ireland are planning meetings to pass resolutions favoring the treaty, and, although it is recognized that there will be some declarations against acceptance, it is believed the majority will support the stand of Arthur Griffith, Michael Col lins and their treaty advocates The adjournment period will thus, it is said, be equivalent to a popular refer endum.
 The English newspaper correspon- dents in Dublin emphasized the inn portance of speech of Richard Null cahy, chief of staff of the Irish Re- publican army, in the Dail yesterday in which he advocated acceptance of the treaty. They though that his support with that of such fighting men as Michael Collins and J. J. Mo Keown, assured the adhesion of the Republican army throughout the country.
 Some of the correspondents also dwe1t upon what they consider Eamon DeValera's loss of prestige, as indt- cated by the vote for adjournment, which he opposed. DeValera's state ment that, when he assumed the re- publican presidency, he did not re- gard his oath as lettering his actions was regarded as damaging his infiu- ence.
 The correspondent quotes an un- named Irish observer as declaring that hundr eds of young men and women will, if the treaty is ratified, retire in disillusionment from any partfctpa- ton whatever in the agreement and may become a Sim Fein within the Sim Fein. The Dail Erieann may convince them that the treaty was not destroy the republican move ment.
 "Perhaps this Is why one notices so little enthusiasm here. The adjournment of the Dafl Eir- cam is eddtorilly commented on to- day by the Evening Standard as pos sibly advantageous to the support. CTS of the anglo-Irish treaty and al any rate not unwelcome to the ratih- cationists.
 The newspaper expresses the opin' | ion that the passage of time Is likely | to weaken -the intellectual case" fol i the rejection of the treaty and par. ticularly undermine the position o1 l Ramon DeValera.
 The Paul Mall Gazette and Globe
 says that since MT. DeValera opposed assurne that the vote of TT to A with which 1t was carried Is rougf l index of strength between hmseL l and his opponents"

Finland Appeals
 To The League
Finland Has No Desire For War, But Bolshevik Government Sends New Demand For With drawal of Finnish Troops From Karelia - Soviet Ambassador Declares War Is Being Brought On By Finland.

Riga, Dec. 23-There is a possibility that Russia may become embr oiled with half a dozen nations as a re- suit of the dispute between Moscow and Finland over Karelia Russia ac- cuses the Films of seizing Russian ter ritory and threatening the occupation of the Murmansk railway
 Finland has appealed to the League of Nations.
 Russia has already announced that she regards FinIand's appeal to the League as a hostile act. The Premier of Latvia says Finland appealed to the League in the interests of peace and has desire to go to war. M Hanetzky the Soviet Ambassador, de- cIares, on the other hand, that Fin land has brought war nearer by her actions.
 Hanetzky will leave Riga for Moscow late today to discus the Karelian sit uation with Georges Tchitecherin the conllnissar for foreign afafirs. Tchit- cherin has assigned Hanetzky to assist him in handling the issue. Whether or not Russia goes to war will be de cided by the A1l-Russian congress oi Soviets, scheduled to open it's sessions in Moscow today.
 If Russia goes to war it is most probable Finland will be supported by Poland, Runla mia, some of the Baltic States ar' '"er powers fronting the
 ssian border.
 The - of the League of Ma tions will meet at Geneva early ir January.

Mayor Hylan aces Tenn
 In Jail
Writ Calls for Restora- ton of Three Million Alleged to Have Been Stolen From Pension Fund.

New York, Dec. 23-(By A. P.)- Mayor Hy1an and other members of the Board of Estimate of this city face a jail sentence for contempt unless they restore to the city budget, not later than December 25,- some S3,- 000.000 alleged to have been illegally deducted from the pension funds for police and other civil service employees. The appellate division of the Supreme court yesterday upheld the writ of n1andannus issued by Supreme Justice Mullin directing the restitution of the neglected items.
 The budget has been in the hands of the mayor since it was returned several days ago by the board of a1- dermen. City Comptroller Craig had requested a reduction of $10,000 in or der to have the budget comply with the constitutional provision that it must not exceed two percent of the assessed valuation of the city's real and personal property. This reduc- tion, the comptroller asserted, should come from the appropriation allotted to the board of education.
 Instead the board of estimate de- ducted only s27S,Oo0 from the regu- lar appropriations and failed to pro- vide for pension funds of SS,000,00 made mandatory by the state consu- tuition.

Hannon of West Hartford who are held under S200O bonds, following the arrest and detention of Harold Goldy. a Bridge port garage man, yesterday. The state police believe they have uncov- cred another source of alleged stolen automobiles. It was through the dis covery of the local police that cars sold here through GoIdy, all of them new models, had the engine numbers cleverly changed by obIterating the old numbers and stamping in new ones. The information here did not warrant the arrest of Goldy but the information that he had failed to rec ord sales of cars with the motor vehi- cle omInissioners, was turned over to the Bridgeport police who arrested him.
 It is stated that the tracing of ma chimes disposed of in Hartford through this same agency resulted in the arrest
