PL LAN AID FOR CHILDREN WHO
 ARE CRIPPLED

Legislation providing for adequate transportation of lame and crippled children to and from school has been introduced to the General Assem- ply by Bridgeport interests. The meas ure officially known as House Bill No. 7O4-1. was drawn by Representa- tive Charles L. Dennis at the instiga- ton of Superintendent of Poor Angus P. Thorne. and Rev. R. H. White, of the West End church. At a hearing on the bill next Tuesday, several Bridgeporters will appear, including Superintendent Thorne and Rev White Representative Dennis. Sena- tors Challenger and Delaney, and Miss Alice White. the crippled daugh- ter of MT. White who will personally plead the cause of the lame and crip- pied of Connecticut
 The measure is said to have the ap- proval of both Senators Delaney and Challenger. and is aimed to secure state aid for the crippled youngsters of school age Connecticut is woe fully backward in providing care for crippled children, and save for one small institution at Newingto1 that cares for less than 10 per cent. of the total number, has made. no provision for their care, safety or education.
 Many youngsters, who are handi- capped by physical infirnities are unable to secure even q common school education The hardsnips of travel particularly in winter and difficulties in entering and leaving school houses and climbing from one

HATGAKES CASE
 IS CONTINUED

When the case of John Hatgakes against the Connecticut company was reached in Superior court this morn ing, a continuance was granted, the case to be reassigned at the short calendar session conducted Friday by Judge John P. Kellogg. The case was reached slightly sooner than antici- pated and the witnesses, nearly all of whom have removed from the city, had not. been secured.
 The case is for damages of S2,000, the outcome of a crash between a jit ney operated by Hatgakes, and a troll ley, at the corner of Barnum avenue and Pembroke street, in 1918. Near ly all the witnesses, passengers in the bus which was overturned. were em- p1oyes of the Remington Arms com pany, now the General Electric com pany and since that big plant has changed hands nearly all have left the city, At the time of the collision II persons were removed to hospitals because of their injuries, but no deaths occurred as a result of the ac cident

PLAY BALL /! RANDOM
 ON TIPTOES AS 1921
 SEASON IS LAUNCHED
By JACK VEIOCK.

New York, April 13-With cheering thousands looking on, the baseball season was opened by the major and several of the big minor leagues to- day
 Old King Swat came back to his own with a vigor that proves beyond the shadow of a doubt the popularity and solidity of the national pastime
 Though shaken by inter-league dis putes and the 1919 baseball scandal during the Winter, and threatened with further bumps when the White Sox players and gamblers with whom they are alleged to have conspired come to trial. the nations pet sport took the centre of the stage as in other years.
 Regardless of happenings in the past, baseball was welcomed back heartily by the great army of fans. The game itself is, too great to be wrecked by the missteps of a few mis- guided and near-sighted players
 The American and National leagues started their pennant races with bright prospects for one of the most successful seasons in their history.
 Prospects Bright.
 In the junior major league the worlds champion Cleveland Indians helped the Browns pry off the lid at St. Louis; the reconstructed White SoX invaded Detroit; the hopeful New York Yankees took on the Athletics dl tie fOlO OuI1NS- SiIlu lIIe IOSIOh Red SoX met the Senators at Wash ington.
 John McGraw's New York Giants helped the Phillies open the National League season at Philadelphia. The champion Brooklyn Dodgers clashed with the Braves in Boston; the Cubs, under Johnny Evers, entertained the Cardinals in Chicago. and George Gibson's snappy Pittsburgh Pirates met the Reds in Cincinnati.
 Rahe Ruth Central Figure.
 The great Babe Ruth, home run king extraordinary, was the exposure for all eyes-some 10000 pairs-at

Diuorce Action Dropped Bomb
 On Big Party

Paris, April 13-1t was not very gallant but it's what Maurice Mouvet, world famed dancer, said when in formed today by the International News Service, that he is named as correspondent in J. Stanley Joyces suit for divorce from Peggy Hop kinS:
 When I pick a girl I'll pick prettier one than Peggy"
 Moreover. Maurice, who is the di- yorced husband of Florence Walton, ais former dancing partner, f1atly de nied all allegations by Joyce He said:
 T danced with Peggy in London and DeauviIle but I never met her outside the ballroom. In fact, once, in Deauvi11e, I intervened in favor of Joyce when Peggy insisted on dancing with a man whom Joyce dis liked. Really, I can't understand why he should name me in his di- vorce suit-''
 News of the Joyce divorce action added a spectacular touch to. the opening night of the new exclusive dancing club in the Rue Caurtin. given by Maurice himself. The dancer had issued specially engraved invita- tions to French, American and Eng fish members of the select dancing set of which Peggy. too. was one of the conspicuous members while she was in Paris. Indeed. she never missed a night.
 On the program were several new dances by Maurice and his new part ner, Leonora Hughes. amid spectacu- lar lighting effects The dance was given in the ballroom of the Hotel Grande Breitagne which swarned

PANAMA WILL
 NOT ACCEPT
 WHITE AWARD

Washington, April 13-The relations between the United States and the Republic of Panama were brought to She breaking point, today, when the Porras Government of the little Re- public fatly refused to comply with this Governments virtual demand that Panama accept the White award as basis of settlement in her boun- dry dispute with Costa Rfca The refusal of the Panama Government to accede to this Governments wishes in the matter was contained in a formal reply to Secretary of State Hughes recent note, receipt of which was announced at the State Department today.
 While there was no official an- nouncement to the next step to bs taken by this government to enforce its demand, it was indicated that the department is not in a conciliatory mood in the matter. The logical next step would be for the United Statan to send an 'ultimatum'' setting a de- finite time limit for the Pananan gov ernment to comply. and in the event of noncompliance to accept the con sequences. That those conseuuences would embrace intervention there is little doubt.
 It was indicated also that the reply Of this government to the PorraS gov ernment would be swift and to the point.

Lack Of Trousers Keeps Silva From
 Catching Thief

A pair of trousers, or the lack of them, was all that prevented Joseph Silva, of A Highland avenue from home early this morning. According to a. report made to the police, Jos eph woke up at 1:45 o'clock today, just in time to see man stepping through the door of his room. He chased the intruder as far as the door, but ventured no further, fearing that his scanty attire might lead to his arrest if he appeared on the street The trousers were found !y1ng in the hallway but s35.55 contained in one of the pockets had been appropriated by the burglar.

t'This is purely a. state matter and has nothing whatever to do with Bridgeport The State Chamber of Commerce had never considered the State Finances before and this com mittee was appointed for that pur- pose. It was found that there was a general practice all over the State, by managers, superintendents, and other officials in charge of institutions of all kinds, of exceeding their appro- priahons and then depending on the leniency of the board of control to give them a deficiency allowance"
 'EIn view of the fact that there is prospect of a. large state deficit in the next two years and that the approprl- ations granted this year include sums to cover deficits which total $1,7OO,- 900 it was thought best to recommend that all state organizations, of what ever nature, keep strictly within the statute in expanding approprlatlonS granted them, and that their dlSburse- ments be limited to those funds made available by the General Assembly,,
 .'No new act of the Legislature is necessary to enforce such recom- mendation for in the Revision of 1918 of the General Statutes of Connecti- cut, Section 5S, power for such en- forcement is provided"
 Last night was the first time that all the responsible officers and com rlIittees in charge of the state h. nances ever met with representatives of the State Chamber of Commerce to consider state finances.
 Representing the State there were present the Governor, the Comptrol- fer. the Tax Commissioner, the State Treas the State Finance Com nfttce. the Appropriations Commit tee, the State Highways Commis- sioner, and the Automobile Commls- sioper.
 From the State Chamber of Com merce there were the President or the Chamber. Sydney Bullard of fhlS city, the Committee for the survey of State Finances. and the IaHaIloii Committee; altogether 55.
 The discussion of State finances and the suggestions made were con fidental on both sides. It IS proper to say, however, in connection with the financial prospects of the State for the next two years that the ap-

 Divorced from his wife. Ernst had heard that she was living at Reh- bers's cabin and had visited the place. At the trial he testified that he was at the cabin at the time of the killing but that Mrs. Erns had shot Rehberg with a rifle.

Shortly after the Triple Alliance order was made known the organiza- clans formally notified the Alliance that they are ready to join the strike the moment they are asked to do so.
 A strike of these workers would add as follows:
 Engineers and firemen 75.ooo; clerks, 90,000; electricians 100000.
 Together with the miners, the rail- men and transport workers constitute the Triple Alliance directly controlling approximately 100000 workers be- sides about 100000 other workers engaged in industries absolutely de- pendent upon the Alliance, will be made jobIess by the strike. so that by the end of the week the United Kingdom will see over 5.00o.0o workers idle.
 The strike, which now can be avert ed only by an eleventh hour back down by one side or the other. would be the most gigantic and most com plete in the history of Europe with the possible exception of the German general strike in 1918, which led to the collapse of Kaiserism and the creation of a republic.
 Thomas followed his strike an nouncement with the statement that applications are being received by other unions to join the strike.'' These applications. he said are being con sidered. The press welcomes the fact that another three days breathing spelf' is left in which negotiations may possibly be resumed Railway managers do not believe there will be a strike At No. 10 Downing street, Premier Lloyd Georges secretary stated that his chief was not taking the initiative in any steps toward re- sumption of negotiations though he was ready to hear any delegations of fering mediation.

 TO HAVE
 POST BACK

The reinstatement of Martin J. Hayden, to his former rank of assist ant chief in the Bridgeport Fire de- partment has been recommended to the fire commissioners by City At torney W. H. Comley, and Hayden will probably be restored to his old post at tonight's meeting of the board.
 Hayden was one of the six firemen ordered reinstated by Judge John l.. Keeler in a Superior court decision. following the action in the case of Lieutenant Elmer V. Fitzgerald It is believed by some that acton on the appeal from Judge keeler'S rul- ing will never take definite form but that in the near future all of the men will be placed on duty ln the ranks occupied by them when they were denoted at the Jan meeting or the fire commissioners
 When asked about the Hayden re- comnnendation this morning, samuel Dave, president of the Fire board, said he had heard nothing of the case, and did not know what action will be taken by the commissioners tongiht. Mir. Dave is of the opinion that the Hayden reinstatement, if it is made will not effect in any way the cases of the five other men who were denoted at the same time and who have carried the matter into the courts.
 Another matter of business to be taken up by the commissioners to- night, is the resignation of William Doolan a hoseman at Engine com pany No. 3. Doolan was recently ar raigned before the commission ioners on a charge of being off duty. Before any action was taken, the hosenan submitted his resignation and it is now up to the commissioners to ac- cept the resignation or discharge the
