FRAMING DOCUMENT
 ON ALLIED DEMAND
Would HarmoniZe French and
 British Proposals to Russia

Genoa, April 2a, QBy Associated rress) In line with Premier Lloyd Georges declaration that the new al- lied proposals to the Russians must be considered as whole a special drafting committee was endeayorng today to frame n document which would harmonize the differences in the demands submitted by the Brit ish and French delegations.
 The preamble was completed last night and the remainder of the draft was expected to be ready for sub mission to the full commission Of Russian affairs scheduled to meet al II o'clock this morning.
 While the French document stated that Agricultural reconstruction should come before other things" the British program dealt more fully with credits for Russia, fayoring a reduc- ton in her war debt and concedns that foreigners formerly owning prop erty In Russia be granted the use of 1t instead of a return of actual own ership which would conflict with the soviet principle of standardization.
 frcncn DcmanuS.
 France would demand that if pri- vate property cannot be restored, the former owners be given indemnity. The French further desire an arrange ment for payment of interest on the Russian state bonds Failing an agreement before December 31 next, the matter would be decided by a m xo1 urhit rat Ia, ri1 ~ impartial chairman.
 Louis Barthou, chief French dele gate took occasion yesterday formally to deny rumors that he intended to quit the conference and said it was not even certain he would go to Paris to confer with Premier Poincare. It is understood, however, that he may leave for the French capital after the allied Russian proposals are reported to the conference proper.
 Eight Points.
 The correspondent of the Central News says he learn that the British draft proposals to Russia set forth eight points, the principal of which is that Russia shall recognize all her debts and, after a moratorium of five years, pay two per cent interest for five years and then four per cent for another five years.
 The document does not specify thes Russia must accept the principle Of private ownership but demands that long leases of private property to it's former owners. A credit scheme to finance trade would be favorably con- sidered if Russia accepted the pro- posals.
 M. Tchitcherin chief soviet deie- gate, at first refused to comment on the proposals according to the corro,- pendent. Later he said the British draft might be basis for negotiation and then, looking at the French draft he shook his head as though dismiss sing it entirely.

JOHNSON QUITS
 AS PER REQUEST
Retiring Commissioner Asks
 Questions Of Mayor

Severin Johnson. member of the board of compensation and assessment for several years, and one Of the com missioners who recently was asked 10 resign by Mayor A, NJ. Paonossa, to- day adhered 10 the request, Mir John son in complying 10 the request, in q letter 10 the mayor has the following to say
 Hon, A, M Paonessa, Mayor,
 New Britain Conn.
 Dear Sir; Your request for my resignation as a member of the Board of Compensation and Assessment re- ceiVed, l am pleased 10 note that this request Is not due to any "insincerity. inability or any lack of effort" on my part in the past, but due to your de- sire to make unified body" out of the board.
 If you mean by this term that you desire board which will work in harmony, your request in my case seems to be misplaced. During the eight years it has been my privilege 10 serve the city on this board, there has never been any friction between it's members nor between any of it's members and the executives of our city.
 The men who have served on this board have been big enough to leave politics and personal interests out of consideration and have devoted their efforts to the sworn duty of the city.
 So any improvement along that line, it seems to me, will not be with in your power to make. On the other hand, if you mean that it is your in tention to build, out of the Board of Compensation and Assessment, poi- tical machine to be used either for personal or party interests, you are absolutely right when you assume that will not fit into any such mechanical arrangement.
 As citizen of New Britain allow me to voice my opinion when I say that in your wholesale requests for resignations of the members of the various boards, you are fiagrantly violating the intent and purpose of the charter which specifically requires perpetual, and you as member of our city government for the past dec ade must be aware of that fact
 However I shall willingly consent to your request. If I can in any way as private citizen help to make your administration successful and our city place to be proud of, you may count upon me to do my utmost.
 Respectfully,
 SEVERN JOHNSON,

TRADE SCHOOL WINS 7 FROM BRISTOL NINE
Takes First Game of the Season
 by the Score Of 5 10 4

The States Trade School nine de feated the Bristol High school team this morning at Walnut nm Park by the score of to I, The game was slow for the first part but became interest ing in the latter part when In the eighth inning with the score 10 l against them, Bristol staged a rally and scored three runs, almost teing the score,
 Bristol's Pitcher
 The feature Of the game was the pitching of Hueftloin of Bristol High Although he had practically no team behind him, he had q wonderful day, striking out lG men and allowing only . hits and two bases on balls. His teammates rel down miserably behind him and made errors upon errors, forcing him 10 pitch many extra balls every session,
 tSrons Lineup
 The Trade school nine showed good form both in the field and at bat. EN- cept for a little wildness in the cNcit- ing moments, the team showed up very well. The outticlders made pretty catches during the game, and the in- field played very well together. Wash itz, the local twirlcr did well for the first seven innings, but in the eighth, he went wild and passed the Bristol batters one after the other, He was taken out and a second string man substituted in his place.
 Exciting Inning
 He showed pretty good form but became rather rattled with man On base. In the ninth, Bristol, with man on third and second and one out attempted a squeeze play, but Elhers, playing third picked the pill out of the dust and caught his man at home. It was easily the best play of the game The next man up struck out and end cd the game.
 With q little more coaching and a little warm weather. the Trade school should develop a strong nine which should become one of the leading con- tenders for the state title.
