Letter of Acknowledged
Leader Will Be Read
at 'Peace" Meeting
Tomorrow Night.

John T. Kings answer to the
Republicans Of the city as to
whether he will return to
Bridgeport to assume leader
ship of the perty or not, will be
read at the session of the Re-
publican "Peace Congress" to
be held tomorrow night at the
Stratfield Hotel, it was learn
ed today from a high leader in
the party.
1T was further learned that the Re-
publican town committee. of which
J. Alex H. Robinson is chairman, held
several secret meetings At the last
one 1t was definitely decided to ask
King to return to guide the party to
victory in the fall elections and to
unite the faetion-torn party.
The letter was drafted, it is said,
and was forwarded to King in New
Y ork. Whether his reply will be in
the affirmative or negative is not
known, but leaders are conf1de nt that
the proffer to be i1elmsmen of the
party here King has paid several
visits to the city within the past few
months and 10 said to have been in
conference with Republican leaders
Of the city. 3
In view OF the imminent split in
Henry Rorabacx3 the man credited
observers here believe that it is a
most opportune time for King to re-
turn Attorney General Healy, who

erfng, is said to have ibolted from
Roraback's side Colonel Isaac W.

be no boiling from the party by the
Republican Voters League or other
organizations which defled the au-
thority of King at several meetings of
which nothing has been said, between
the Republican Town Committee and
the peace" COMMITTEE this was de-
fnttely decided It was further said
That there will be one man on the

ing is an assured fact. That man is
F. Smith, former tax oollec-
tor, now being sought by the police
of the world on charge of en-
bezz1ing $4,000 of the city's money.

direct result of g. peace move on the
part of former Senator John 3. Dr.

nsHighH onors
At West ONT

While thousands of American
schools are holding their commence
ments this month, yesterday marked
graduation exercises at West Point
that had no parallel in any other
school-the finishing of 1872 young
men for the profession of warfare,
and OF that number, four boys were
from Connecticut. two from Bridge
port. one from Fairfield Beach and
one from Mystic.
Charles Joseph Barrett OF Fairfield
Beach, was the first to be called to
receive his commission, as "Distin-
guished Cadet" having accomplished
the feat of exceeding a standard of
80 per cent. The second honor cadet
was George Hamden O1mstead of Des
Moines, Ia, who had a similar aver
age. Harold Thomas Molloy and
Albert Svirah were the Bridgeport
boys in the class while Phillip H. Ray
mond was from Mystic. The commits
sions were presented by Major Louis
E. Hibbs, adjutant of the Academy.
West Points class of 1922 is the
first to go out from the United States
Military Academy after a full four
year course, since the World War.
During the war some classes were
graduated after a three year course,
some after two years and others after
one year of study. Last year there
were no public graduation exercises.

lagher asked Mr.. Knight if full
hearing was held before the Public
Utilities Commission. Objection was
also entered and admitted by the
court when the witness was asked #
any claim for objection had been
made regarding the rates.
When asked regarding whether the
company was rendering service or
only the use of facilities, Mr.. Knight
declared that the company's primary
and last function was to render SER
vice and that he believed it was
making the best possible use OF
equipment and personnel to obtain
this objective.
A fifteen minute recess was here
declared by the court, after which
Dunbar counsel for Mr.. Gallagher
addressed the court. He said that the
action OF the company was discrinina-
tory and unfair. He gave g. resume of
what had been given as the princi-
pal items of cost in rend ering tele-
phone service.
He declared that the only item
which was increased In cost by the
extra distance was the wire which ex-
tended from the limits of zone A to
the subscribers home. All of the 9TH
ers declared to cost no more because
of the distance from the subscribers
home to exchange. Attorney Dunbar
gave the figures which Mr.. knight
brought out in previous testimony on
the stand. This showed that the plant
value was $S5, and that the charges
OF $4,000 plus S22.50 were exO4tbitan MT
For a valuation of $500.
