 RUM RUNNERS AFTER THRILLING CHASE

Meriden, March S.-Two policemen and two newspapermen figured in an exciting automobile pursuit of two al- legged rum runners through Meriden at 6 o'clock this morning and at the Der lin town line the fugitives were stopped at the point of a gun.

Reinforcements Rushed Up.

Warsaw, March (By Associated Press) Strong attachments of Rus sian Bolshevik cavalry, commanded by General Budenny are being rushed from South Russia to Moscow to crush the insurgents who are said to be gaining in power daily in the Rus sian capital. Reports reaching War saw declare many units of the Bol- shevik infantry divisions are disloyal but say the Chinese mercenaries in the service of the communists are standing firmly by their soviet lead CTS
 Many rumors of the overthrow of the Russian soviet government have reached Warsaw but none has come through official channels.
 Beginning of the End?
 Boris Savinkow, leader of the Rus sion socialist revolutionaries, who has headquarters in this city, has eN- pressed belief that the present dis turbances in Russia may be the be- ginning of the end of soviet rule. He feels, however, that from under ground advices from Russia the pres ent movement may be premature and easily suppressed. He is positive an outbreak on an enormous scale will follow. It is his opinion that the peasant revolt eventually will win over the majority of the soviet army and will lead to the replacement of Lenine and Trotzky by a peasant gov ernment. He believes the new regime will possibly establish a republic but more probably some peasant leader may be proclaimed ear of Russia.

Should the council vote such an appropriation. it will be necessary to act on it at a city meet ing. The appropriation would re- quirc the levy of about one-eighth of a mill tax.

OUT OF WORK-KILLS SELF

Broad Street Young Man Hangs Him.
 self While Despondent Over En-
 forced likeness Due to Depression
 Jacob Bednarz, aged "A years, or 63 Broad street, was found dead in his room early last evening, having ended his life by hanging while in fit of despondency due to enforced idleness caused by the depression in local manufacturing plants. 1t is be- lieyed that the man committed the act some time Sunday. The discovery of the body was made by Andrew Brzsuk of the above address. Dr. Waterman Lyon, the medical examl- ner. viewed the body and pronounced it a case of suicide.
 Bednarz up to few months ago was employed at the Fafnir Bearing company. Since he has been out or endowment, it is said he made it practice to remain out late at night and he would then sleep the greater mart of the day. This accounts TOT the fact that the body was not found sooner. The dead man used a piece of a trunk strap to accomplish ms act of self destruction.

MAYOR TO OPPOSE
 DAYLIGHT SAVING
Feels That Change in Time Schedules Would Be Productive of No
 Material Benefit to the City.

Mayor Orson F. Curtis will oppose, it is expected, any effort of the. com mon council to put into effect in th1s city daylight saving time in accord ance with a decision of the railroads to go onto that schedule, March 27. Several other cities have acted favor ably on the matter and the subject is under discussion in practically every municipality in the state. In the opinion of the mayor the adoption of a daylight saving would offer no ad- vantage to the city, but on the con- trary would lead to numerous mix ups Should the factories find it ad- visab1e to start an hour earlier in the morning, the mayor feels that this will be possible and equally as convenient without changing time, while many of the inconveniences at tendant to a change in clock time would be avoided.
 It is probable that the matter will come up at the regular March ses- sion of the council, one week from Wednesday evening. If favorable &C., ton is taken, the city's time will be set one hour ahead by the passage of an ordinance.

 Bridgeport, March S.-Three per- sible for the trolley collision at South Shelton on the afternoon of Washing toms birthday, in which ten persons lost their lives, by Coroner John J. Phelan in a finding today.
 Those Who Are Blamed.
 They are: Milton Cheritre, de- ceased motorman of the car bound son, his conductor, and Stephen T. Palmer, town clerk of Shelton, and judge of probate of the district, who was taking home on the car five gallon can of gasoline.
 A copy of the finding is being sent to Prosecuting Attorney Arthur R.
  Attorney William J. Gurnias, of Shel- ton, and to States Attorney Homer $. Cummings of Fairfield county.
 Advises Corrective Measures.
 The coroner also says "by reason of the appalling loss of life and the shocking manner of death, the acts of the south bound car crew consist ing of omissions and negligences prior to the collision when considered in combination with the seeming re- sponsibility of the gasoline shipper as a contributor to the disaster" feels obliged to submit the matter to the public utilities commission for cor rective measures for preventing a like catastrophe in the future. The inquest by Coroner Pheian was on the body of George Koch, or Cook, of Derby. He was suffo- cated following the collision.

So common have fires in City Hall become that few officials and employees knew, and fewer still cared to know that damage to the property was mar rowly averted this morning by the throwing out of the fourth story window of blazing waste paper basket. Through some unknown source papers saturated with kerosene oil were thrown into waste paper basket into which someone had thrown a lighted cigar butt. The inevitable happened and as the blaze shot toward the ceiling some one seized the basket and hurled it out of an open window nearby. No dam- age was done.
