Ireland's Seven
 Century Struggle Is Now Settled
Ireland Rejoices At Great News - Opposition To
 Treaty Only Slght-American Leaders Warm In Praise Of Great Triumph After Centuries Of Struggle - Some Antagonism Expected
 From Unionists Of Ulster

London. Dec. 7-King George came to London from Sandringham today to preside at a meeting of the privy coun- ci1 and sign a proclamation calling a special session of parliament for We'd nesday next to consider the momen- tous agreement for the establishment of the Irish free state. Should the tie doubt is entertained, the session will last only a few days and the parliament will adjourn until the, regular session in February when d bill embodying the agreement will be dealt with.
 The King is expected to open the special session in person, in which case the ceremony will assume the dignity and magniffcence of a regular opening of parliament. The Kings speech will deal entirely with the Irish Ques- tfon and the debate will likewise be limited to Irish affairs.
 Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins and the other representatives of the DaiI Efreann still in London will leave for Dublin tonight.
 While the chief figures of the con ference, are receiving their share of the praise for achievement, the men who worked out the details of the agreement and are credited with largely infiuencing it's success, are still at work in Dublin Castle, in Downing Street, and at the Irish office.
 Of these men A. W. Cope. a former custom house officer in London, and now under secretary of the Irish office is receiving wide popular recognition as among those who did much to bring about the conference and contributed notably to it's happy outcome.

 American officials continued to re main silent today concerning the most vital aspect of the conference, leaving the talking to be done by the British and Japanese.
 Unrest in Japan and the menace ot rioting throughout the empire as a result of wholesale discharges from Shipyards and dockyards, coupled with the sudden swervtng of entire factions toward an anti-Hughes pro- gram attitude is having a marked ef- feet on the cabinet councils prepar- ing a final answer for Japan's dele- 4ates here, it was explained today by 0ne of the Japanese spokesmen.

Increase In Riding
 Says Storrs

New Haven, Dec. 7.-No increase of 100000 passengers riding on the Bridgeport lines of the company dur ing Ghe first week of the test of the five cent fare, was claimed by Presi- dent L. s. Storrs in @ report to the Public Utilities Commission, 1t was stated at the offices of the company here today. The report 1t was point ed out said that while there was an increase in passengers there was a decrease of s6,461.89 as compared wi sh the revenues in the preceding week of the test. President Storrs In his report said:
 "* 1t is impossible to compare the number of passengers carried, for during the ien cent fare period every individual riding within the ten cent fare area within the city of Bridgeport was counted as single passenger, whereas under the present scheme 1 is quite possible that many Individuals are counted as two pas san ngers by reasons of the fact that they have crossed the far limit fin the center of the ci V."

View Station Now
 City Property

The Harbor View pumping station in Black Rock became the official property of the city of Bridgeport to- day. Following a visit of inspection yesterday by Mayor Fred Atwater, the machinery was set in motion and the wheels began to turn this morning for the first time.
 The pumping station was contract ed for two years ago in the same con- tract that provided for the construc- ton of the Bostwfck avenue sewage disposal plant. The plant will care for the removal of sewage on ali ter r-tory west of Scoffeld avenue. and one of its greatest advantages, aside from it's mechanical value, will be the elim- ination of the practice of dumping sewage In Ash Creek. By means of the station, all sewage west of Scofield avenue will be carried through pipes and dumped into Long Island Sound at the foot of Brewster street.
