The body of John Morrissey, son of MT. and Mrs. William Morrissey of Fairfield avenue, arrived in Bridge port last night from France. The funeral will be held Friday morning from his late home and a solemn high mass of requiem will be cele- brated at St. Peters church.
 MT. Morrissey was born in Bridge port in July, 1895. For many years he resided on Broad street, but then moved with his parents to Fairfield avenue. He attended the Elias Howe school on Clinton avenue, and will always be remembered by his class mates and teachers for his excellent scholarship. While in this school he was interested in all lines of athletics but paid special attention to football and became famous in this sport in later days.
 When hosti1ities broke out between the various foreign nations durin g the past war MT. MorrfSsey little dreamed that some day he would join the ranks and fight for his coun- try. However, when America declar- ed war MT. Morrissey enlisted at once and was first sent to Camp Devens. Later he went to France and was in the fight for seven weeks.

Wholesalers
 May Form A
 Credit Ass n

Several of the large wholesalers of Bridgeport have recently come to- gether to try to formulate plans for the organization of a Wholesalers Credit Exchange. The purpose of such an organization would be to ad- vance credit to those retailers who are in need of such assistance and thus to stave- off impending bank ruptcy proceedings. So far about twenty wholesalers have interested themselves in the project, which has not, however, advanced beyond the elementary stage of discussion. At present those interested are trying to discover if it will be possible to fin ance the scheme and no other action will be taken until this essential point has first been settled.

Judge Banks decision was largely influenced by the bus corporation meeting a s2,Soo note held by the Blue Ribbon Garage Company, the largest creditor. Testimony was in- troduced showing that the note was in partial payment for a bill of ed by the First National Bank on two occasions because of lack of funds
 Counsel for the defense at yester- day afternoons session showed that a balance of $S,1oo was in the bank at 11:S0 yesterday morning, after a deposit of $1,800 had been made, and was sufficient to meet the note which was later honored when presented to the bank for the third time.
 Attorney Gould explained this morning that in view of the heavy litigation in which the bus corpora ton IS at present involved and--he- cause of the uncertainty of the fu- ture of the concern due to the Dres- ent jitney situation, he and the Lu- ciano brothers, as a ma jority Of the stockholders, feared that the concern would not be able to protect the stockholders were the decision of the Federal court to be rendered against them.
 Figures offered by the petitioners and by Secretary John J. Succa. show ed that the corporation had assets liabilities amounted to but s3,OOO, but Attorney Gould in his examination brought out that the actual indebted ness of the concern was S24,S0o, in cluding accounts held by the Blue Ribbon Garage for balance on three new Packard buses.
 The corporation is capitalized at S100, 900, although but 516 shares at the par value of $50 have been issued up to this time. If the debts were to be paid, s25,S00 additional would be needed to protect the stockholders and in the absence of this the action was brought to appoint a temporary receiver to handle the affairs
 With the discharge of the s2,soO note to the Blue Ribbon garage, the heaviest outstanding account was practically settled, and the corporation is apparently in a position to meet it's other debts when due.
 Judge Banks declared when making his decision that the corporation was making money, and was not misman- aged, and from the evidence revealed he could see no necessity for a tenn perary receiver.
 Official notice of the injunction is- sued by Judge Edwin S. Thomas of the United States District court, re- straining State officials from arresting jitneymen who are operating without regulation 'J'' markers was received by Supt- Patrick Flanagan last night in the form of a telegram from Motor Vehicle Commissioner Robert V. Stoecke1. In the dispatch, StoeckeI requested the local police head to postpone action against the jitney- men, because of the injunction which was recently issued by Judge Thomas.
 Bridgeport will probably be with out representation at the jitney hearing which is scheduled to be held in New Haven on August 16. Prose cutting Attorney F. Earl Garlick, said this morning that it is unlikely that this city will be represented officially or unofficia11y at the hearing

Though De Valera and the Ulster Premier have not met in person, their negotiations are said to be proce ed1nS by means of courierS.
 The Irish people, not knowing the reason for the delay and the absence of official staten 1nt, are becoming impatient and peSsimistic predictions have been made in some quarters . --- The responsible leaders of the Sim F|ein refuse to discuss the possible outcome of the conversations between southern and northern Ireland, but it is understood that they have reach ed or are reaching a satisfactory ba- sis.
 The Parliamentary correspondent of the London Times in discussing the Irish peace situation, said:
 "It is wrong to assume that noth- ing is happening in the Irish negotia- lions, because no announcement has been made. There is every reason to believe that the Sim Fein is in direct communication with Belfast and is trying to reach an understand ing with the northern Unionists. Ob- Viously this is a question Of great difficulty requiring delicate handling and much time-
