former soldier to death as he lay in
bed. The victim was formerly
member of the guards. one OF the
crack units Of tho British army. The
police made two arrests.
Scotland yard officials express be-
lief that they have broken up and
scattered the militant organization or
Sim Fein sympathizers in London as
the result of raids. While few ar
rests were made, much documentary
evidence was seized.
ARSON PLOT CLAIMED.
Scotland yard officials cAimed to
have pEoof that special emissary had
been sent by the leaders OF the Irish
Republican army to direct cam
paign of arson and terrorism in Lon
don. But they believe that any et-
forts in that direction have been ef-
fectually frustrated.
From an authoritative source 1t was
learned that a special order had been
issued by the stan of the Irish re-
publican army dealing with plans Tor
q campaign Of violence in England.
The allegation was made by police
officials that they have connected up
the Irish Self-determination league
with this conspiracy. although there
is no direct accusation against Arthur
O'Brien, president Of the league.
When the first alarm of Sim Fein
violence in England was spread, the
police took drastic precautions, and
it became very difficult for the Sim
Feiners to conscript agents in this
city. 1t was then that the chiefs OF
the Irish republican army decided to
send special envoy from Ireland,
according to Scotland Yard.
ENVOY IN CUSTODY.
The police believe that this envoy
is already in custody. James Moran.
a nineteen-year-old youth, who was
captured in a raid after the attempt
to Are an oil warehouse at Wands-
worth, is the leader delegated by the
Republican army to handle the ter
rorist campaign.
The police say that they seized a
document in Moran's handwriting re
porting to Dublin on the detailed
plans for the Wandsworth fire.
The Daily Herald, official organ of
the British labor party, in comment
ing upon the governments intensified
coercion, pointed out that the chief
result has been an increase In the
number Of Irish attacks. Eight were
reported as having occurred Wednes-
day. In the attack at Menagn the
Republicans used machine guns. the
bullets penetrating an armored motor
car.
POLICE AMBUsHED.
Yesterday. in addition to the fatal
attack at Glenwood, an abortive ef-
fort was made to ambush a detach-
ment Of military police at Kilrush.
The fifty men in the ambush party
were scattered. Many bridges were
blown up in Gavan, Kells, and Meath.
Hillaire Bclloc, famous British pub
licist, in a letter to the Daily News,
calls attention to the fact that the
view is widely held in continental
Europe that the persecution of the
Irish may be due to anti-Catholic bias.
Mr.. Belloc says that this view is a
false one as regards the English. He
declares that the English have been
unable to control the animosities Of
the Orangemen in Ulster province.

 OF PETITIONS
Namce of Those Opposed To Charter Changes Number
 Hundreds
Believe Matter Should Be Submitted
 To the Voters

Those opposed to the proposed changes of the city charter, which if made will take the fire and police de- departments out politics. have had an opportunity the past week to ex- press themselves as opposed to the change without the matter first being submitted to the people. Several pe- titions have been in circulation and 1t is stated that the signatures run into the hundreds. The caption on the pc tition is as follows:
 "We, the undersigned voters and taxpayers of the city of Putnam, here by petition the general assembly of the state of Connecticut in opposition to the proposed amendments to the charter Of the city of Putnam wherein certain changes are suggested with reference to the fire, police and other officials of said city without a referen- dsm vote of the voters of said city"
 It may be noted that the petition does not ask that the proposed chang es be altogether denied, but that clause be inserted so that before the charter as changed shall become law t will have to be submitted to the voters of the city to see if the pro posed change Is favored by A majority
 Prom sources opposed to the change being made without the matter being submitted to the voters, 1t is learned that the leaders Of the movement in opposition are not opposed to taking

Tbe Putnam Patrtot

1 the offices suggested out of politics
 but are opposed to at this time. This arises from recent turbulent times in
 the fire department. While no one 1 has come out fatfoote1 and stated that on account of complete change of personnel of officers and men in the fire department they do not think i proper time to make these positions permanent, this is the impression one gains by talking to those who are ac- tive in opposition to the changes at present
 It is pointed out that before the charter was adopted 1t had ta be sub mitted to the voters and that t is be- lieyed that such important changes a. proposed should also be indorse1 by a majority vote before becoming oper- ative.
 The Patriot does hot agree with its esteemed contemporary, The Obsarv- CT in it's stand that mo possible good. but much harm can come from q fur ther public discussion of this natter" The Patriot believes ,aHd had always urged, that public affairs. of whatever their nature, be publicly discussed and all citizens be aforde an opportunity to be heard on all public questions. Bring all public quegtions out iat1 the light of day. Let all anoles be shown and debated. It is by carrying mat ters of public concern through to finish without giving the people op- portunity to be heard if they desire t that causes suspicion and raises fac tions. Mayor Marcy has always kept open house in the council chamber with standing inYitstiop to the pub lie to appear and be heard at any time. Many have taken advantage of the in- vitation and have appeared. They have always been given their oppor- tunity and have been listened to with courtesy and consideration by the mayor and his body of executives.
 It IS to prevent recurrence of wrangles in the fire department or to prevent possible like scenes in the po- nee department ana LU prevent us ruption and strife eYeg two years that the proposed charter changes are aimed. If the majority of the voters do not want the charter changed then it probably will not be changed. Like in the matter of motor driven fire truck, so sorely needed, if the ma jori;y are against 1t then the matter is settled for the time being. but the council has relieved itself of the re- sponsibility in the matter.
 Other city councils have proceeded in the same manner as has the Putnam city council in matters of charter changes. There is no secrecy about it and every citizen is afforded an op- portunity to appear before the judi ciary committee of the legislature at the time set for a hearing. In all probability there will be n representa- tive gathering of citizens before the committee at the proper time, when both sides of the question will be pre- sented.

BATHES CITY DUMP IN ALCOHOL
Contents of a Thousand Bottles Were
 Poured Upon It Last Week

The Putnam city dump will not down. 1t is bound to stay in the lime light. It shoulders and is deluged with water; it shoulders some more and is dynimited; 1t gives forth nauseating odor and IS sprinkled with disinfectant and perfume. No one ever thought for moment but that the dump was not a healthy specimen of neuter genred. If it wasn't it cer- tainly is now. It has just been learn ed that last week 1000 bottles of a patent cure-all were poured upon the old offender. The medicine was for the most part alsofDl and was seize1 hv revenue men in the town of Plain field.
 Whether or not the officers ha9 heard of Putnam's popular dump is unknown. They did, however, come to this city in q large touring ear. In the tonneau of the car were the thou sand bottles of liquid, enough to bring excellent health to the sick, the halt, the lame and the blind. of the whole county if it would work as the little labels set forth. Captain Bull ger was asked by the strangers if Putnam had dump. "Surest thing you know," replied the captain. We have the livest dump in captivity and it has more lives than cat. 7"
 Tt may not need stimulant,' said the two officers, but we have thou sand bottles of medicine in the back of this car and we have orders to try it on something, something good and tough, and see what will result"
