 London, March 21-(By The A. P.) The dangers of the situation in Ire land are emphasized by the morning newspapers, several of which take the view that little more will be needed to start civil war. Shipping between the entrenched forces on either side of the Ulster border has been going on for several days, and yesterday ma chine guns were reported to have been brought into action. Meanwhile disturbances continue throughout the six county area of Ulster.
 Reports of murders, incendtartsm and other outrages in the northern districts, where the tension between the Protestants and Catholics is most severe, fill much space in the news papers. The violent denunciatfons suggest that apportionm of the blame in numerous instances is d1m- cult.

Would Abolish
 IWoComnissions

Resolutions presented by Alderman William E. Hogan, asking for the aboHshment of the Paving and Sewer Commission, and for a direct report From all appointed boards to the Common Council, wil probably be reported out by the Ordinance com mittee in the near future.
 In his resolution regarding the abolishment of the commission, Aid erman Hogan declares that the actual work on paving and sewers is held up because of red tape" and that projects could be carried out with less difficulty if placed under control of the Streets and Sidewalks mon Council.
 The adoption of the direct report resolution would bring about a radi- cal change in the procedure of the Building, Charities, Fire, Health. Parks, Police. Municipal garage and other boards. All business transacted by these organizations would have to be submitted to the Council for approval, and would not become final until such approval had been ob- tasned. Teeth is put in the proposed ordinance through a provision $ha1 failure to comply with these orders may result in dismissal

. The bonus bill must be we'll on its way to final passage before these primaries if the Republican party candidates are to benefit from it.
 the House were perfected today by Republican Leader Monden and Chalrman Campbell. of the House Rules committee. The bill is to b,. taken up Thursday Special order Of business is necessary to prevent onno nents of the bill and tax advocates rom uniting to force acceptance of an excess profits tax or increased s1Ir- taxes on large incomes. The Demo- crats are prepared to urge a ten per cent. excess profits tax
 tordney is convinced that not only WlH the present bill pass the House put that in substantially It's present form It will pass the Senate and re- celVe the approval of President Harding. Bonus members who talk ed with the President insisted thai while he did not approve the bill. neither did he cond demn it nor threaten 10 veto It. He insisted the responsi- bility for the legislation rested with congress. and House Republican leaders are ready to assume this re- sponsdbilfty.
 Speaker Gillett is suffering most from the latest tang1e over the bonus legislation. His refusal to permit the bill to be brought up vesterdav ahter the President had withdrawn active opposition to the bill and in the face of the urgent recommenda- ton of House leaders has aroused bitterness, much of which is directed against the speaker for arbitrary ex- ercise of power. This feeling is likely to lead to split in the House Re pub1can organization and render more difficult House control by the Republican House leaders.

No Action Taken.

No Action Taken,
 No action in open court upon the quo warranto proceedings brought against Hunter by Frank F. Conine, first se1ectman of the town, was there fore forthcoming. It is deemed prob able, in view of the answer to charges as filed today. that no action will fol- low on the quo warranto matter be- fore Friday. At this time it is prob able that during the short calendar session a date will be set for trial of the charges.
 Comley's Answer.
 In denying that the defendant is no longer the Town manager, section two of the answer filed by Atty. Comley is especially illuminating. It reads as follows:
 "On the contrary, by the terms of said charter, said measure re- moving the defendant from his said office did not go into effect. because within thirty days after the passage of said measure by said council. a petition signed by electors of the Town of Stratford to the number of at least ten per centum of the number of electors who were entitled to cast their vote at the last preceding town election, was filed with the town clerk requesting that said meas ure be repealed or be submitted to a vote of the electors, which petition was duly certified by the Town Clerk of Stratford: and said petition filed as aforesaid, was considered by said Town Coun- cil, and although the same has not been repealed, there has been no town election in said Town of Stratford, occurring not less than 30 days after the receipt, by said Town Council, of the Town Clerks certificate: nor has any special election been called by said town council as provided Tor in said charter
 It is apparent from the foregoing and subsequent wording of the an- swer that Hunters fight will be based ,1non the assumption and claim, be- cause of provisions of the charter that no discharge could have been possible. until the voters Of the Town had enjoyed the privilege at a regu- lar. or special referendum election of passing upon the matter. In the meantime Hunter is still manager. to quote from his camp, and acting manager to quote Israel Cohn, attor- ney for Conine.
