Thompson Held
 For Murder

Refusing to take the witness stand, upon advie of counsel, Robert Thomp- son. 20. co1ored, of. 37 Raymond street. Norwalk. is held criminally responsible for the death on April 3 of his step-father, James Edward Wilson, 40, who was shot to death while in the act of strangling his wife. Pauline Wilson Thompson, an invalid, was on a cot in the bedroom when Wilson started to struggle with his wife. She called once for help, accordiny to her testimony, and her son shouted once to the father to stop his assault. A moment later a shot was fired by the son, the bullet entering the left eye of the victim, taking a downward course and pune turing the lung. Wilson died in stantly.
 Thompson, by his refua1 to take the stand, tell the coroner the cir cunstapces of the shooting, which many believe was justifable, will have to answer to a charge of mur- der. Testimony introduced showed that the murdered man. an oyster opener by trade. was gambler. abusive, of bad temper, and of no support to his family. The day of the tragedy, which occurred at 6:30 a. m.. the woman was about to go to her place of employment, and was assaulted because she would not give her husband some spending money.

Belfast s Night
 Of T error Ends

London, April 1s.-Belfast was re- covering today from night of terror according to reports reaching here.
 During the ndght several persons received gunshot wounds. Fifteen houses were destroyed in ince ndiary fires.
 D!scord between rival factions in the Irish Republican Army in Dublin was still smould ering. Hopes were express ed however, that with the passing of comparatively uneventfu1 Easter Tide, civil strife would be averted. Truce conferences, which will be re- newcd tomorrow, are expected to be more successful than those which were broke off last week.
 Mutineers were still holding several seized buildings while loyal Repub1i- can Army Troops were maintaining an active guard over strategic points they are holding.
 It was considered remarkable here that in spite of the tension between opposing forces. there have been no serious clashes.
 Snipers were active in the Catholic section of Broadway and Antigua streets An attempt was being made to keep the casualties secret.
 Ulster military forces were making frantic efforts to suppress the violence.

Panic Caused P. U. Members By New Pact Hear Petition
 Is Unabated For Low Fares
Russian-German Coup Still Has Delegates Be- wi1dered as Delibera- tions for Europe's Flu ture Continues.

Genoa, April 1s-By THE A. P.) The consternatton caused by the German-Russian coup in concluding the treaty at Rapallo supplanting the Brest-Litovsk pact showed no signs of abating as the economic confer ence delegates continued their delib- eratiOns today.
 As the different national groups examined the text of the new agree ment and deliberated on its possible effect upon the future balance of power in Europe they were impressed with the deep importance the signing of this separate pact was likely to have on the general political situation.
 The prophets who, when the eco- homie conference was inaugurated, predicted that it would result either in great good or disaster to Europe were inclined today to take the view that the congress seemed to be head ed in the direction of disaster, which only the coolness of Prime Minister Lloyd-George of Great Britain and other conference leaders could pre- vent. Some men in allied circles read into the Russo-German treaty and especially the manner in which it was signed. a future alliance between these two countries.

Hunter is awaiting the decision by Judge Isaac Wolfe of Superior court, who heard the quo warranto proceedings brought against Hunter, by Frank E. Conine, first se- lectnan of the town.

Last Petition on Docket for Reductiofl-Com- mission Expected to Take Up Appeals from Other Cities at Early Date.

Hartford. Conn, April 1s-The Pub lie Utilities Commission today heard the petition of eleven patrons of the Connecticut company of this city for a reduction of fare to five cents on the Hartford lines. This is the last of the petitions for five cent fare which are on the docket of the Com mission; it has been delayed pending the arrival of Chairman Richard Hig- gins of the Commission. who has been absent from the state.
 When the Hartford petition is heard the commission will probably take up the final consid eration of the petitions for a five cent fare which have been duly filed from Bridgeport, NorwaIk, Waterbury, New Haven and the local petition and a decision on the ques- tion of fare is expected to be reached in short time

Providence, R. l., April 1s-Shot down in their own dooryard, by state militiamen, Paul and Jacob Pankie- wieck, brothers, of Crompton, are in a serious condition in the Rhode Is- land hospital here today. Last rites of the church have been administered. Paul was shot through the abdomen and Jacob was struck by three bull lets, two in the right thigh and one in the ankle.
 Although the brothers, who are mill workers, have been on strike Tor eleven weeks, the shooting had noth- ing to do with the strike.
 A neighbor of the Pankfew1ecks Is said to have complained to Lieut.. J. F. Kenney, that the brothers had threatened him. Kenney with a de- tail of cavalry went to Pankiewieck home, where 1t is said one of the brothers struck a militiaman with clrh

Atwater
 Is Disappointed

q am a little disappointed" said Mayor Fred Atwater today, that the board of aldermen did not meet the existing emergency by adopting the resolution of the majority of the Finance Committee last night" In a. statement issued to the press yester- day the mayor expressed himself as being certain that the board of alder men would unanimously adopt the resolution for the purchase of the Star shirt factory.
 Why the Democratic aldermen voted with the twelve Republican aldermen could only be placed upon the fact that their constituents, the people of East Bridgeport were not satisfied with the provision of merely buying a site for the erection of high school since that was not definite enough, to be sure that a school would be built.
