Work On Details Have AL ready Begun British Troops To Be Removed At Once.

London, Jan. 9-(By The A. P.)- Transfer of the administrative powers to the new southern Ireland govern ment. created under the treaty ratified Saturday by the Dai1 Eireann in Dub lin, is to be arranged for immediately. It is understood that the committee of British ministers appointed under the chairmanship of Secretary For Colonies Churchill will today resume its work, which was suspended before Christmas in consequence of the pro- longation of the debate in the Dali. Much preparatory work already has been accomplished allowing the min isters to proceed immediately with ar engagements for evacuation of British troops. declaration of a general amnesty and handing over of the ad- ninistrative department in Dublin to the new government.
 MT. Churchill returned from the Supreme Council meeting at Cannes yesterday for the purpose of getting his committee together. He expressed satisfaction at the treaty's ratification, enabling the work of his committee to go forward.
 The, date of the transfer of powers depends upon the events of the next few days in Ireland and the progress made in installing the provisional gov ernment of the Irish Free State It is assumed that Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins, who led the fight in the Dail for the treaty, will come to London to assist in the operation.

the biggest problems confronting the new mayor.
 A tour of inspection by the officials of several places where the city men were at work proved beyond a doubt that the majority of the complaints were such that they could not con- unIe. In many places. incompetent and inexperienced foremen were at fault, while in others men were found tual labor and drew pay for a full eight hour day. Efficiency and nor nal production were far below par, and the work turned out by the men far out of proportion to the money spent.
 As one of the officials stated after the inspection Tt Is no wonder that the city Is spending thousands of dol lars and getting not cent in value in return, and 1t is no wonder that this work already has cost hundreds of thousands In places, we found men loahng in shantics, sitting around the side of the road, two or three working while 18 and 20 took it easy. The men were not entirely to blame. for we know of cases where the foremen have told the men to soldier so their jobs would last longer"

 Discharge notices have been given to scores of workers so far. and more are to be sent out Every unneces- sary man will be let go, and as the work increases and the need arises rev men will be selected from the applicants to Supt- Thorne, and plac-s ed at work under the supervision of Director Coughltn-

GEORGE HARVEY
 SLICHLTY HURT
Although Party Had Mar row Escape From Death, A m e r ican Ambassador Received Bruises Only.

l Cannes, Jan. 9-By the A. P.)- | George Harvey. American An1b assa- | dor to Great Britain, narrowly escap-
 ed death here today in an automobile accident. Accom- panied by Richard | Crane, former minister to Czecho- 1 Slovakia, in whose car he was riding, I and Wickham Steed. editor of the l London Times, Ambassador Harvey
 was on his way for round of golf. l Physicians found him suffering | from shock and from severe bruises l on his back. His dazed condition after the accident lasted more than | an hour.
 Premiers Lloyd George and Briand with Andrew Bonar Law planned to make a threesome at golf today while l the reparations experts continued their efforts for a final agreement on | the plan of payments to be proposed | to Germany and the finance ministers | worked on the partition among the | allies of the sums already paid. | Belgiun1's delegates to the supreme 1 council are still standing out for her
 priority in full of 2.5o0,000.ooo gold marks of the German payments. The payments for 1922 from the 500,000,- 900 gold marks agreed on in Lon | don to 700,O00,00, so as to provide a certain amount of cash above the expenses of the armies of occupation, which absorb o0,00O,o0o gold marks. only partially satisfies the Belgians.
 They fear that abandonment of the principle of full priority might work to their detriment later.
 In French circles here 1t is expected that, when the German commission which has been invited to Cannes to appear before the supreme council re- garding reparation arrives, the rep arations commission also will come here. Premier Brtand wishes to avoid
 the appearance of taking out of the
 hands of the separations commission
 any part tof the questions touching on
 the German war indemnity. He con
 tends that the commission is the
 proper channel for the allies to use i1l

 Hungary to participate in the inter national financial and economic coun-
 kil in Genoa early in March which
 has justh been confirmed here, is
 comm ented upon with satisfaction by the morning newspapers. Political circles see in this development the new possibility of the break in what Is regarded here as the hostile ring of the little entente around Hungary.
 Washington, Jan. 9-(By the A. P.)-Ambassador Harvey cabled the state department today from Cannes that he had been only slightly injured in an automobile accident but re- quested that Ambassador Herrick at Paris be temporarily assigned as American observer at the Cannes conference in his place.

UNIFORM SEVEN GENT FARE MAY
 BE TRIED NEXT

That rum ors pertaining to the Derby line of the Connecticut Com pany, regarding the consideration of cutting service on this line. have some grounds. is admitted at the local headquarters of the Connecticut Company. Even with a 10 cent fare and no transfer privileges to local lines, and with all jitney competition eliminated to the valley town. at cer- tain morning, afternoon and evening periods of the day, between rush" hours and school hours riding has been exceedingly light at times.
 Previous to the elimination of the jitneys, the regular service On this run gave a two hour headway. This was increased to a minimum of one hour when the gasoline buses were the service will again lapse to two hour cars during certain lean hours.
 One Week Shows Increase.
 It is stated that in Norwalk only increase. A sudden lessening of rid ing since the holiday rush is causing the local showing to be anything but encouraging to the proponents of the five cent' fare.
 No rumors can be confirm ed or de- nied locally to substa,ntiate a belief expressed in some e1uarters, notably New Haven that after the Norwalk and Bridgeport experiments have been allowed to run their 90-day will prevail throughout the lines of the Connecticut Company in the state, with old fare limits and transfer priv f1eges again in vogue.
 Though a Seperate town, Stratford Is so closely allied to Brid geport, that a feeling of being unfairly discrinli- nate against does not down in that section. The majority of riders of Stratford feel either that they should enjoy the privilege of the five cent fare, or a five cent ride within the lS7nits of Stratford to the Milford, Shelton or Bridgeport line.

Hundreds of city workers now or the payroll of the Charities Depart mert, whose employment in the past year has cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars are to be in cluded in reorganization of the spe- cial relief commission force. Dead wood in the ranks will be eliminated, and the work of the force directed into channels that will ultimately pro- duce one hundred cents Of value for every dollar expended. Superantend- ent Angus P. ThoFne and Director of Public Works George NJ. Cough1in are working hand in hand on the prop osition, gradually segregating the inn menSe volumes of work into definite shape that bids fair to result more profitab1y both for the city and for the workingmen.
 Hereafter, the employment of the men from the thousands of uneTn- ployed will be entirely in the hands of Superintendent Thorne, while the placing of men to work and the su- pervision of the work will be in the hands of Director Coughlin. Previ- ously, the entire responsibility for the hiring and for the work had been oI the shoulders of Superint endent Thorne.
 Problems Confront Mayor
 At a recent conference between the two officials and Mayor Atwater. definite plans were drafted that eventually will set at rest the com plaints aand criticisms that have been freely made on the municipal em- ployment situation Charges have been frequent that wholesale loafing has prevailed among the gangs eTn- ployed on city projects, and upon in- vestigation the charges have been proven true in many cases Mayor At waters office, as we'll as the of fees of Director Coughiin and Super intendent Thorne, have been flooded with complaints. both from citizens and disgruntled workers, that quick ly assumed the proportIons of one Of

HIRAM JOHNSON
 CONTINUES TO OPPOSE TREATY


 San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 9.-That the clarifying notes designed to elim- iante the exclusion of Japan from the new four power treaty will in no way alter the determination of Senator Hi- ram Johnson to oppose the pact, was made plain in a statement issued by the California senator here today. The statement follows in part:
 Among the letters received the last couple of days by me was one from San Jose. with this concluding sen tence: wish to thank thee for the statement contained in todays pa perS, we cannot afford to enter into ambiguous constructed treaties which ultimately may creat a call that we fight for Japan or the British Empire or any other nation.

Paint, teeth. rubbers and a sledge- hammer figured in a fight which oc- cured in the Harvey Hubben plant Saturday afternoon, between Daniel DeMoro of fl Booth street and Frank Reinger of Buena Way. Reinger, upon whose complaint DeMore was arrested, claimed that his opponent accused him of stealing a pair of rub bers, bit his thumb and wiped a paint brush across his face. DeMoro ad- riitted the biting and painting, and charged that Reinger attempted to slug him with a s1edgehammer. He denied that he had accused Refnger of stealing his rubbers- The case was nolled
