 Bishop Case Next Tuesday

By request of Jacob Klein. attor- ney for William D. Bishop. the di- vorce action being brought against him by Blanca West Bishop will be heard before Judge John P. Kellogg on Tuesday, June 21.
 This ease has been the subject of much interest because of the promi- aence of the parties involved, who is connected with a New Haven news- paper is often spoken of as the millionaire newspapernnan,' while his wife attained promfnece on the stage, from which she retired when she married.
 The testimony will in all proba- bility prove startling for it is be- 1ieved that Mrs. Bishop went to great pains to get just the evidence she wanted on her husband, her vigilance it is alleged. being rewarded by her overriding Bishop and a woman to- gether in New Haven under damag- ing circumstances to the defendant in the action.
 A recent Superior court ruling had ordered Bishop to pay his wife ali- mony of $215 a month utniI the case is settled, and his counsel made ef- forts to have a private hearing as- signed, but was unsuccessful At- torney John Smith represents Mira Bishop.

Men Refuse
 Wage Offer
 Of Company

New Haven. June 17-That arbi- tration of the wage differences be- tween the Connecticut company and their platform men is the only soIu- ton of the apparent deadlock in the is the belief here today, following the announcement of the refusal of the men to accept the offer of the com pany for a reduction in wages. It is understood the company will be fla vorable to this suggestion. It is. con- sidefed likely, however, that the men will attempt to negotiate further with the officials.
 Should a reduction in wages be the ultimate outcome of the negotiations it is considered likely that there will be a general demand for a reduction of trolley fares throughout the state.

Holconb, and the City of Shelton, represented by Joseph Shapiro, ask ed the privilege of exchanging depos- s~for certain bonds and evidence Of indebtedness. in a similar manner in which deposits were exchanged Tor mortgages, to a great extent
 Another matter before the court was the matter of s1So,000 with in terest of $S,000 belonging to the City of Shelton, being a deposit Rather than give the City of Shelton prefer ence by paying the claim it was pointed out that if the court would give the necessary authority to re- lease this money it would save the bank considerable expense, because interest, on account of the nature Of this deposit, is continually plIlnS up on the books

There have been scores of such cases in Athens. Smyrna, Patras and Saloniki, and only those able to ess- cape and get into communication with American consular officials have ob- tained redress. In many instances they have been stripped of their clothing and their passports and oth- CT papers have been confiscated. When they have protested, it is charg- ed that they lave been han1cuffed, thrown into jails and mistreated.
 Consul General Horton declares this action by the Greek auth critics is in fragrant violation of existing agree ments between the United States and Greece.
 One case is cited as typical of many. Private James Raftel of New York city, who was cited for bravery in the Argonne campaign and who has been receiving a disability allcw- ance of $50 a month from the United States government, was recently ar rested by Greek authorities at Nifty lene.

The second theory is, that the gun man may have been a desperate character wanted in another city, and fearing apprehension shot the police man upon sight Shortly beyond the end of State street extension, near the railroad tracks, there is an un- developed stretch of territory that has long been a favorite rendezvous for 'boes" and wanderers The place is known to old time Bridgeporters as Fox island.
 That the man who shot Officer Tierney, may have planned to stay at this place all night, and had start ed out to rustic a chicken for break fast when he met the policeman, is one of the most probable theories. Such a character, especially, if he was wanted for some serious offense, would naturally fear a policeman. and might take desperate chance to avoid capture.
 The first of these is, that Tierney, who was a jealous officer. might have incurred the enmity of some person during the performance of his duties, and that this man may have been deliberately "gunninS' for the policeman. Since he was appointed member of the police department, on July Is, 1920. Tierney has been ex- ceedingiy active in maintaining order on his beat. He was an important factor in the breaking up of gangs which formerly lounged in the West End in the vicinity where the shoot ing occurred, and was also very Natchful over a number of saloons located on his post
 It is not believed, however, that Patrolman Tierney was regarded as an enemy by the saloonkeepers. One cafe owner called at police head quarters yesterday, and informed detectives that Tierney had inspected his saloon a number of times. and that he had always conducted him. self in a courteous manner while making his investigations. This man had no knowledge of an enemy which the policeman might have formed through his official activities

NewHaven Road Not To Start
 Jitney Routes

Officials of the New Haven Rail- road this morning denied reports that the road was planning to estab- fish jitney routes throughout the state. The possibility of the use of motor buses on highways had been considered by the officials but had been rejected as impractical at this time.
 If the New Haven Road is to op- crate jitney buses it is entirely with out the knowledge of General Man ager Bardo," an executive of the road this morning. The same as we con- sider and investigate every possible means of improvement, we looked into the use of motor buses in a gen eraI, way but we found it would not be a practical proposition, and ac- cordingly rejected it several weeks ago"

Both Cornell And
 Robinson Condemn
 Petition For Connor

''The act of the person who cfrcu- lated political petitions through the fire department is to be severely con demned," stated John A. Cornell, chairman of the Democratic town committee, this morning.
 While there is nothing criminal in the act, still I think it was poor taste on the part of the originator" de clared J. Alex Robinson, chairman of the Republican town committee.
 Both statements related to the cir culation of a Republican petition through the ranks of the fire depart ment advising Governor Lake to veto the bill abOlishing Arthur F. ConnorS s post as tax commissioner.
 The act is attributed to Republican interests, and came to light last night when the Twelfth District Democratic club sent a letter of protest to the fire commissioners asking that proper punishment be meted out to the re- sponsTble parties

Dave Says There Are No Restrictions pr. Finnegan Says Proce- dure Was A g ain S t Rules.

That the circulation of peti- lions in all, fire houses of the city yesterday afternoon, ask ing for the retention of Arthur Ionnor as tax commissioner of Bridgeport, did not constitute 3 violation of any rules of the Fire department, was the de- fense put forward today by President Samuel Dave, of the Board of Fire commissioners
 MT. Dave admitted that he gave the petitions to Chief Daniel E. John son, as favor to a member of the Taxpayers league, who requested that the petitions be distributed among the hremen. A stand of practically the same nature has been taken by Chief Johnson.
 "A member of the Taxpayers league asked me yesterday, whether he could distribute the petitions a among the fremen,' declared Mr Dave this morning. "'I said I had better give them to the chief, and he left one at each house."
 we have no restriction on these matters" continued the commission er There was no request or or der that the men sign the papers They were merely left at the houses and the men could do as they pleas ed. The same thing is being done all over the city. The petitions are being circulated among the unions, but I do not know whether any were sent to the police department. Chief Johnson is out of it entirely
 Asked if he took the petitions and gave them to the chief merely as a friendly favor to the man who gave them to him. MT. Dave replied that that was the case exactly.

. The seizure of between 500 and 500 machine guns at Hoboken, as the re- suit of disclosures made by British secret service agents, completely breaks down the plans of the Irish Republican army for a great de- fensiye against the Crown forces in Ireland next Autumn, according to an official statement issued by the Irish office this afternoon

Stratford people who rely upon the buses were stirred up to a high de- gree when it was reported that an effort was to be made to route the buses on a back road trail that would just about mean the end of service to Paradise Green, and are making themselves heard to such an extent that it hardly seems probable now that the jitneys will be so completely erased from the transportation scheme.
 Stratford people have not forgotten that there were no jitneys running to the Green before the trolley com pany's strike" last summer. and that in spite of the fact that Strat- ford had no fight with the Connecti cut company. Stratfordites were made the goat of the Bridgeport fight and service denied. It was when this oc- cured and the trolley company re- fused to send cars to the city line that buses first appeared on this run.
 They immediately became popular. and more so last winter when for a
