$50 EMPLOYED
 AT UNDERWOOD

Having started active operations in the Bridgeport division, at the very time the period of depression was be- ginning to make itself felt in this city, the Underwood Typewriter conn pany employed in various depart ments under conditions prevailing at the time. Therefore this plant is not placed in the embarrassing position of having at this time to enforce cuts, in order to keep step with the trend of the times.
 A decided feeling of optimism pre- vails at the local plant, where the en- tire work is concentrated upon the comparatively new Underwood porta- ble typewriters. Since the plant was first opened in Bridgeport for this de- parture, late in 1920. the force has gradually increased, until at the pres ent time $50 are employed, in what is comparatively a small plant. At all times since the force was recruit ed, full time has been in order for all departments.
 Officials of the local division, the headquarters being in Hartford, ex- pressed themselves today as being pleased with the present outlook adding another plant to the list of those where there is no hesitancy in stating that a tangible turn for the better can be noted. Other plants where the upgrade is being made in steady manner are the Bullard Machine & Tool; Automatic Engine company, Bridgeport Brass, and the Union Metallic Cartridge plant, where a comparatively new cutlery division is making strides of marked import.

CHINESE LEADER
 MYERS SECRET
 TREATIES EXIST

New York, Jan. 3-A warning for Che United States to keep out of the mess in international intrigue in the Far East is the lesson drawn by Dr. Ma Soo, representative of the South China government in New York from - the publication of the alleged secret documents for the control of Siberia.
 "I cannot say whether these docu- rnents are authentic not" Dr. Ma told 8 representative of the 1nterna- tfonal News Service today. But we all know what a prominent part sec- ret treaties play in the international politics of the Far East. The publlca- tion of these documents therefore should occasion no surprise MT. Will son had to deal with secret treat1es in Paris and was even compelled to sanction the terms of secret agree ments made by the European powers and Japan giving Shantung to the Government of Tokio.

Gov. Sproul
 To Succeed
 Sen. Per1rose
John T. King Accom- panies Senator Watson
 On White House Visit.

Washington. Jan. s-Gov. William C. Sproul, of Pennsylvania. will be designated to succeed the late Boise Penrose as Senator from that State, within a week, it was predicted today by Senator James B. Watson of Indiana following a visit to the White House. Senator Watsons prediction took on an added significance when it became known that he talked with the Pennsylvania governor over the long distance telephone last night and again today just before going to the White House.
 Administration leaders it was learned, have impressed upon Gov. Sprou1 the necessity for haste in ill., ing the vacancy caused by Penrose's death. Every available Republican vote, it was admitted today, will be necessary to prevent the unseating of Senator Newberry of Michigan, by a coalition of Democratic and Progress sive Republican" Senators.
 Senator Watson was accompanied to the White House by John T. King of Connecticut. formerly Republican National committeeman and long a political lieutenant of the late Sena- tor Penrose.

The first meeting of the newly con stituted Board of Police Commission CTS will be held at police headquarters o+ fo,1r o'clock this afternoon.

WORST PLACE
 IN PRECINCT
 SAYS CAPTAIN

Abraham Goldberg, owner of a store at 2os5 Fairfield avenue, whose shop was characterized this morning by Captain Peter H. Hall, as "the worst place in the Third precinct, EAwas fined a total of s20o and sentenced to 10 days in jail on two counts. by appeal were set at $500. Goldberg was arrested dast night. after a sam ple of cider which had been seized in his place, was found to contain five per cent. alcohol.
 In testifying as to the reputation of the grocery and candy store this morning, one policeman stated that on December 23, he saw 25 men come out of the place. and two-thirds of the visitors were drunk. Captain Hall told the court that men came out of the store carrying loads" in stead of groceries, that the store was inc worst place in his precinct and that Goldberg had been warned to stop selling cider.
 Defending himself against these charges, Goldberg claimed that the men who came into his store were drunk when they entered, and that they secured their liquor in shoe store across the street. He denied that he sold intoxicating liquor. and displayed a very thorough ignorance of the state liquor laws The man was charged with keeping a place where liquor is reputed to be for sale, and keeping liquor for sale.

Denials Fail To
 Remove Belief
 In Secret Pact
By GEORGE R. HOLMES.

by GEO6Ob fI. hOIhES. Washington, Jan. 3-Despite de nials voiced by French and Jap dele gates fin Washington that a secre agreement exists between their gov ernments over mutual policies to be pursued in Siberia, the question wat Ippermost in the minds of the confer. ence delegates today when they re- stunned work after the holidays.
 Officially, the denials have been ac- cepted by the U. S. Government. Be- tween the word of two recognized and friendly powers, and the words of ar unrecognized, uninvited, new republic of doubtful stability, there can be but one choice so far as the U. S. is con- cerned.
 Maximum Attention.
 Publication of the alleged secret agreements by the unofficial delegates of the Far East (Chita) government maximum attention to the whole ques- tion of Siberia, due to be taken up by the conference shortly. In view of the disclosures made, the attitudes of the French and Japanese over the matter of a resolution pledging the powers to observe the territorial and perhaps the administrative integrity of Russia and Siberia will be watched with absorbing interest by the other powers of the conference.
 Meanwhile, Boris Skvirsky, M. Ya- zikof and other members of the Far Eastern delegation here are content to rest on their oars for the time be- ing. They reiterated today that they nave other documents bearing on Franco-Japanese intrigue in the Far East and that these may be made pub lie at the proper moment.
 Topic of Conversation.
 None of the other powers of the Washington conference are official ly taking an cognizance of the Chita disclosures but ''unofficia1Iy'' the re- velations are being discussed almost to the exclusion of submarines and the date of the conference adjournment two highly regarded topics of conver- sadon for the past ten days
 The one deterrent factor is the Root resolution, proposing restrictions that virtually kill the submarine as a leeal weapon of warfare. So far only the American and British goyernments nese, French and Italian delegates re- ferrtng 1t to their home governments for instructions.
 Sentiment Against
 Strong doubt was expressed whether the Root resolution will be adopted French and Japanese. at least. will de- cnne to approve 1t, although they have not received final instructions iron, their respective governments The sentiment among the delegates here Is against it. The opinion was ex- pressed in responsible quarters Una. the naval treaty ultimately will go nc further than pledging the powers to observe existing international law in the "Visti and Search" of merchant vessels by submarines in war time Methods of scrapping existing ton mage, methods of replacement and the date on which replacement con structton can be made are other 'otnts that remain to be adjusted.

 FIRE PROBING

Assertions of ignorance on the part of all persons who have been interro- gated, are baking fire departm ent officials in their investigation of Sum day mornings fire at the Campo Brothers macaronf factory in Lex ington avenue. The probe is being vigorously pushed however. and re- suits may yet be obtained.
 The fire which occurred early Sum day morning. Is one of a series of blazes which seems to have visited itself upon the Campo family. A number of fires have broken out in buildings owned by the Campos in this city, and there was also a fire in g. building owned by the family in DaDbury. Frank Campo. of AT Lex ington avenue. one of the owners of the macaroni factory. was arrested a short time ago in connection with a fire in a confectionery store owned by him.

MORE INTENSIVE
 USE OF SCHOOLS
Many Changes Made With Increases In Salary John D. Dougan Becomes
 Assistant Superintendent.

John D. Dougan, principal of Bar mum school, has been promoted to be second assistant superintendent of schools at $3,600. Miss Lena Barry, principal of Summerfield school, has been transferred to Barnum, with the annual increase, which brings her salary to $2,8O0. Miss Grace Van Wyck is transferred to Summerfield from koSsuth street school, at a sal ary of $2, 400, according to schedule.
 These changes follow the transfer of Kossuth street grammar school to Waltersville school The Kossuth street building will be used as fresh man class annex to the High school, and will shelter the entire freshman class of the East Side. The headship of the school will be taken by MT Lasell, director of evening schools. who will perform both duties at his present salary of $4,000, of which S1,000 is contributed by the state.
 MT. M. Andrew remains principal of Waltersville, and his salary will be increased $500, because of the large addition to the school, and the amount of work created by the double pla- toon system.
 These changes are in the direction of more intensive use of the schools, and will contribute to make a. heavy construction program unnecessary during the present year.

Industrial Employment
 On Increase

Industrial activity as shown in man hours worked was lower in Bridgeport in November than in any other city in sConnecticut. according to figures that are furnished by the Manufac- turers Association of Bridgeport Dan- bury was the busiest city. It had eS per cent of average number at work, and they were working 91 per cent of average hours. Bridgeport was less than 50 per cent. busy. Hartford and New Haven were somewhat better off than this city.
 December in Bridgeport, S1 plants reporting, shows a slight gain over November.
 Despite the gain in manufacturing employment, the lowest tide of total unemployment in all occupations probably exists at this time because of the lay off of out door workers, caused by cold weather.
