Though all roads into this city were guarded un- til an early hour this morning, none of the liquor reported to have been smuggled in at Sachem's Head was located.
 AnastaSio, who was arrested by federal officers, will be arraigned be- fore U. S. Commissioner Bernard Lynch on charge of violation of the Volstead act. In addition, a charge of smuggling will undoubtedly be seized in his place was marked Hill &.

Area of Starvation Is In- creasing Ali e d Council May Take Up Problem.

London, Aug. 4-The Soviet govern ment at Moscow is in a state of panic over the extent of famine in Russia, the British foreign office was inform ed today.
 If there is sufficient time. the h. ter-A1lied Supreme Council will take up the Russian situation in Paris next week, but the official view here is that Russian relief is a question for private action and not for govern mentS.
 The area of starvation is increasing Russia. It is now refined as stretch ing from Mi Novgorod down the en- tire valley of the Volga, the chief food producing district of Russia

 Pope Benedict nas requested this activity on the part of the Knights of Columbus to conserve faith and aid in the mental and physical de- velopment of Italian youths" said Supreme Advocate Joseph c. Pelle- tier of Boston. '1t is our aim to go into Italy and introduce American welfare work, to repay Italy in part the debt laid upon America when this western world and made tspossi- ble for christendom to extend its sphere"
 MT. Pelletier added that it was inn probable that the Knights of Colum- bus would extend it's organization proper into Italy. saying that the inn mediate plans called for the estab- Iishment of an American service cen ter in Rome, under the patronage of Pope Benedict

 This is the interpretation placed today in high naval quarters here on the action of the British admiralty and House of Commons in voting to go ahead with the immediate con- struction of four powerful new bait tleships. of the super-hood type.
 The acquisition of these great dreadnaughtS will allow Great Brit ain to retain her naval supremacy, which was seriously endangered by the American and Japanese building programs Should England have stood still in naval building and America and Japan completed their present programs, the three greatest naval powers in the world would have gathered around the conference -able in Washington on nearly an even footing. the conference, with the greatest navy in the world, and then fight for 'proportionate reduction" which, if adopted, will permit her to emerge from the conference still the worlds leading naval power The propor- tionate reduction plan would de- crease navies in proportion to the conference, leaving the relative posi- tionS unchanged, and this is the pol icy which American naval experts Great Britain to support here next autumn.

All Naples Gathers To. Pay Last Honors To
 World Famous Tenor

Naples. Aug. 4-(By the A. P.)- Patrician and plebian Naples gather ed early today at the basi1ica of the church of San Francisco diPaola in anticipation of witnessing the funeral of Enrico Caruso, the world famous tenor, who died here on Tuesday. The edifice, situated in the southern part of the city, near the hotel where the great singer breathed his last was decided upon as the last scene in the drama of the tenor's life late yesterday, after ing Victor Emmanuel had given permission that it might be used for this purpose. As soon as word reached Naples that the basil ica had been set apart for the fun era1, workmen were engaged to con- struct a great platform to accomm O. date the 400 singers selected to as- siSt in the last requiem. In the cen ter of the basilica was erected a large catafalque on which the coffin would be laid.
 Representatives of the king and the royal family, the Italian government, the municipality and the prefecture were appointed to attend the services, and the United States, in which coun- try CaruSo rose to his greatest tr1- urnphs in the lyric arts, had instruct ed officials to appear at the funeral.
 The crowds which on Tuesday filed before the bier of the dead singer sands gathered at the hotel Vesuv1us to pay their last respects to Caruso. So large was the throng that it was deemed advisable to remove the body from the death chamber to the hall of the hotel, which was changed for the ocasion into Q chapel. About the body were placed flowers sent by friends and admirers of the dead man, and the hall was transformed by them into a, bower of exquisite beauty.
 Titta Ruffo, the Italian baritone, who has in recent years achieved fame in America, arrived during the day. and haStened to the hotel. He was an intimate friend of Caruso and insisted upon helping to transfer the body to the temporary chapel
 Mrs Caruso has made formal appli- cation to the foreign minister asking that the Italian ambassador at Wash ington be instructed to seal the New York residence of the late singer,

Deny Clerks Have aken
 Cut In Pay

New Haven. Conn, Aug. A, statement by R. G. Stearns,. General Chairman of the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks of. the New York New Haven and Hart ford Railroad today, makes denial of statement issued by General Man ager. c. L. Bardo of the company yesterday, to the effect that the freight clerks group of employees had accepted a new wage scale carrying a reduction.
 MT. Stearns says that the matter of acceptance or rejection of the pro- posed schedule is to go to the em- p1oyes for a referendum ballot. He says that a letter sent by him to MT. Bardo on July 25 stated that the em- ployes represented in the brotherhood contend, that there can be no justi- fication to warrant the reduction rates of pay as esta blished under decision Number 417 of the United States Rail- road Labor Board in much as the actual living costs have not been re- duced below living costs on which in creases were based under it's decision number 2. issued July 1920.
 Under these circumstances the sa i'd employees are now performing service of the railroad at the reduced rates, effective July 1, 1921, under protest

Reports which are contradictory come from Dublin and Belfast rela- tive to the steps being taken to settle the relations of Ulster and southern Ireland. It has been stated, on one hand, that direct negotiations nave been opened by Sir James Craig, the premier of Ulster, and Eamonn De- Valera, the Irish Republican leader It has been declared with equal cer- tainty in other quarters however that no negotiations are in progress, there being no one at present in Bel fast to conduct them, owing to the absence of the principle ministers on their vacations
 A third rumor that negotiations are in nrogress between Dublin and Bel fa st but are being carried on through an intern mediary whose identity mas moi heen indicated, is also current
 Reports relative to the a1tltuoe oI TT1ster are similarly conrad1ctory.

This statement was issued today by Supt. of Police Patrick Flanagan, with the additional information that the police department is determined to enforce the jitney laws as far las City ordinances are concerned
 No jitneymen have as yet attempted to run free" in Bridgeport but in New Haven this practice is much in vogue. The warning issued by FIana- gan today, will probably be needed by local jitneurs
 Judge Edwin L. Thomas, of the United States District Court, has is- sued orders to Attorneys Arthur Klein and Robert J. Woodruff. of New Haven, to appear before him at New Haven on Friday morning to show cause why the recent injunction granted by him should not be vacated or modified
 Attorneys Klein and Woodruff se- curd the injunction restraining prose- cutlon by state officials for the opera t1on Of Jitneys. The new order of Judge Thomas was secured by George D. Watrous of New Haven, an official oI the connecticut Company, on the ground that the restraining order was too broad in nature.
 May Take Up Tracks.
 Rumors have been current lately to the effect that if the Connecticut Company wins in it's fight to prevent the jitneys from running they will eventually tear up their tracks and substitute buses for trolley cars This story seems more probable because Of the fact that for the past three weeks the traction company has been operating a certain number of buses in connection with the street cars. The bus routes that the company is running are to outlying points. the service by means of transfers be- tween buses and trolleys.
 When asked today whether his company contemplated eventual sub st1tution of automobiles for the pres ept means of transportation in case r the bus venture proved profitable J. B. Potter, general manager for Bridgeport of the Connecticut Com pany, said that as far as he knew nothing had been done as yet in this respect, and that if there were any such plans the only people who knew about them were the board of directors of the company. He said that the buses used at present were mere D. in the nature of accessories to tho street car system and for the convenience of those who had to travel to distant points to which the cars did. not directly carry them.
