Recall Of Envoys Is
 Expected
Ricci to Sail for Italy Monday-Not Expect ed to Return-TariH Controversy Blamed.

Washington, June g. A shake-up in Washington's di- plomatic corps impending for some weeks, has been hastened by the unpleasantness arising out of foreign ambassadors criticising the pending Repub- lican tariff bill, according to reliable reports current here today.
 Rolandi Ricci, the Italian am- bassador, whose statements about the tariff being an inter- national and not a domestic is sue particularly aroused the re- sentiment of administration ad- herents will leave the capital on Monday to return to Italy.
 Not to Return.
 He departs ostensibly for a summer vacation, but the belief prevails in Washington that he will not return. In diplomatic quarters it is reported that Ambassador Ricci was not dis erect in his utterances on the tariff because of the knowledge that he would not return to Washington. He Is understood to have been anxious to be relieved of his American assign ment ever since the armament con ference ended.
 Ambassador Ricci held a final con ference with Secretary of State Hughes late yesterday and while neither the State Department nor the embassy would comment on the in terview, it is understood that Secre- tarE Hugres took occasion to remind the Italian envoy that the admins tration regards the tariff as an issue hn A T1on n mo first and last and is not properly a subject for diplomatic criticism.
 Jusserand to Sail.
 M. Jules JuSSerand, the French en- vov who is not involved on inc tariff unpleasantness, also is going to France within a few weeks on what is announced as his regular summer
 Enemies at home are credited with being behind the expected recall of M. Jusserand. He was severely criti- cised in the Parisian press during the arms conference, and is blamed by his enemies with being primarily re- sponstble for the "unsympathetfc at titude' of the United State toward French continental policies.
 Geddcs Recall Tinted.
 Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador, who has been vigorously criticised by Senator James B. Wat son on the floor of the Senate for his critical utterances on the tariff, is the third of the ambassadors whose recall is being chatted about in diplomatic quarters. Notwithstanding his prompt denial of any intention to 'meddle" in American domestic affairs, his numerous speaking tours about coun- ;ry have aroused some feeling in Re- publican senatorial ranks.
 At the State Department today it was officially announced that the tart9 controversy can be considered a ''closed incident so far as any further representations on the part of this government is concerned. There was no announcement from the de- partment, however, as to the nature of the representations that already have been made in the conferences with Ambassador Geddes of England and Ambassador Ricci that have all 'eady been held,

Sunday Dance Is Worrying Milford Again
Town Opposes, but Pro- prietor Will Ask for Referendum by the People.

Milford, June The Sunday amusement question, which bobs up annually in this town as soon as the beaches open, is the principal hot weather topic of conversation. by req son of the recent application of John G. Bennett of Ansonia, proprietor of the Oak Grove Casino at Harrison Park, on the shore, recently made to Supt of State Police Robert Hurley for permission to conduct dancin 8 daily including Sunday.
 At @ lively meeting of the Police Board attended by five members, it was voted, according to report, by a majority of one, to notify Supt. Hur- ley that the sentiment here is op- posed to Sunday dancing.
 B. E. Malpass. recently appointed to the board and elected president, says that the board acted after feel ing out the sentiment of the people. On the contrary it is claimed that with a full board present the senti- ment of the members would have been equally divided.
 Proprietor Bennett has announced his intention of petitioning for town meeting to get a referendum vote on the question. He says he will ask a postponement of the hearing before Supt. Hurley at Hartford, set for Tuesday next, in order that the voters may have a chance to register their sentiments by vote in the town meeting.
 The decision is entirely up to tke State Police head but it is believed he would be guided by a vote of the people here.
