JOINED AT BIRTH.
150 Physicians Attend Autopsy Over
 Most Unusual Case.

Naugatuck, Oct. 24.-An autopsy performed at the Waterbury hospital
 last night, which about 150 physi- clans attended, showed that twins born to Mrs. Edward Popiti of Union City and which died shortly after birth were joined together ia their bodies from the breast bone. Each had heart, stomach and liver, but the last mentioned organs were joined. All organs functioned. The twins were born facing each other, Physicians regarded the case an eN- ceptional one. The medical books which were looked into showed a somewhat similar case in Paris in 1871.
 The autopsy came about through the deaths being reported by Medical Exa miner Dr. F., H. Johnson of Naugatuck, who had been asked for the death certificate as the mother had been attended by midwife who had no authority to sign the certih. cate. Because of professional inter- est Coroner Monzani was notihed and word was sent to doctors to attend the autopsy. Many photographs were taken during the autopsy,

BRITISH OPPOSE
 BRUSSEL SESSION
Belgium Is Also Against Proposed Conference on Germany's Repara- tions Debt.

Paris, Oct. 24-(By the Associated Press)-The holding of the proposed Brussel conference on reparations and allied debts is now very uncertain, 1t was said today in reparation circles where the further collapse of the mark is causing the greatest uneasi- ness. Great Britain's opposition to the Brussels meeting now seems to be shared by Belgium.
 In British quarters it Is explained that from the present indications the Brussels conference would at best be nothing but a gathering to decide upon the best means for saving Ger many from total financial collapse and the question of separations would re- ceive scant attention.
 So serious have become the differ ences between France and Great Brit ain within the commission itself over the respective reparations plans of the two countries that all the delegates yesterday pledged themselves not to say a single word on the discussions now going on until some progress was made.
 Both France and Great Britain are agreed that unless some drastic meas ures are taken forth Germany may be soon in the same financial condition as Austria with the allies rAnouncing all claims to indemnity for a long period. However, the French and the British ideas of what form this drastic action should take are widely diverg- ent.

CURZON MAY BE SET
 FOR DUKES HONORS
Lloyd Georges Honor List, to Be Published Tomorrow, Is Ob-
 ject of Speculation.

London. Oct o4 (By Associated Press). - The issuance of Lloyd Georges honor list which is expected tomorrow or Thursday, is awaited with great interest
 It is consistently rumored that Mar quis Curzon of kedlestone, who was foreign minister in Lloyd Georges $ cabinet, is to be made a duke. This would be a most remarkable incident as the dukedom is the highest rank in the British peerage next only to the royal princess and is an honor rarely conferred. The last duke ere ated was Westminster, in 1874.
 The marquis, who was born George Natha nie Curzon, was made baron in 1898, became an earl in 1911 and received his present rank last year He is e3 years old.
 Gossip also says that the immense ly wealthy Sir Philip Sasson is to be raised to the peerage. He is the son of the great Anglo-Indian merchant. Sir Edward Sasson, and was one of Lloyd Georges secretaries. Two of Lloyd Georges conferences with the French premier were held at Sir Philips sumptuous house near Hythe
