ENGLAND PREPARES NOTE
VIII send Message 10 Germany Ex-
pressing Disappro,aI of Latest

BY The Associated Press
London. May Great Britain will
dispatch a note TO Germany within Sf
hours expressing disapproval of the
latest German reparation proposals
and urging Germany to present n
more practical and liberal solution of
the problem.
The situation is generally regarded
by the press as an extremely awk-
ward one ard there Is sharp criti-
cism of the conduct of the Ruhr al
lies.
The Daily Telegraph stresses the
fact that reparations are owed TO all
the allies and not to France and Bel
GUM only.
The Times condemns outspokenly
the Fra Belgian assumption that
the2t two nations are the sale arbi-
ters of the Ruhr situation.
1t is believed Great Britain's note
made in reply to the recent note from
Berlin Will have the general support
of the Italian government although
Italy will probably send separate
response to the Wilhelmstrasse.

Annual Report Submitted to
Executive Today-Park
and Public Works Boards
File Reports.

In its annual report to Mayor \. NJ
Paonessa, the board of police com.
missioners asks that consideration be
given the need for a new police sta.
ton, asserting that the present build
ing has outgrown its usefulness and
that no more money should be ex-
pended on 1t. The board also sug-
gests that the advisability of install
ing signal light system throughout
the city be considered. These and
other recommendations will probably
to the council, to be read next Wed :
resday evening
Relative to the need for new police
headquarters, the report says.
THE building now used as police
headquarters has outgrown its useful
ness and some provisions should be
made for securing of better quarters
for the police department The close
proximity of the railroad and the con-
slant switching of trains make 1t
very undesirable place to hold court
proceedings. and furthermore, we are
getting to a stage where we have 10
provide more room for the depart
ment. We do not favor the spend
ing of money TO any great extent on
The present building. but we are of the
opinion that this subject should be
given serious consideration"
Signal Light System.
The board has the following to say

which it wishes TO have placed in op-

STRIKE IN NEW HAVEN
Building Operations Interrupted
Somewhat Because of Demands OF
I.aborers and Hod Carriers,

New Haven. May 7.--Building con-
struction in New Haven was inter-
rupted to a greater or less extent to-
day by the strike of laborers who
demand recognition of the interna-
tional hod carriers building and COM
mon laborers union and for an in
crease in pay. The wage demand is
understood to be IS cents per hour.
The pay has been 40 cents an hour
but owing to scarcity of men some
contractors have put up the figure to
30 and 60 cents. Estimates of the
number of men who had struck were
between 400 and 500. After the la
borers stopped work the bricklayers
became idle.

Boston victimizesl

Boston, May I. - Bogus checks to
support buying orders for stocks were
received by at least IL brokerage
houses here today. In only two cases
we're the orders executed. In all
cases the checks purported to be GER
tilted by banks for $4,000. Secretary
George A Rich of the Boston stock
exchange said they were clearly the
work of the same group.
The checks were drawn largely on
tanks in Pittsfield and North Adams,
and were accompanied by orders on
spurious letterheads OF those institu-
tions. The orders executed here were
in New York Central and Chino stock.

was one of the subjects discussed

superintendent, presented the subject
In a paper entitled THE eye route
In the infection of tuberculosis

Wall Streets View

Wall street brokers attributed the
scheme to unscrupulous traders with
desire to rig the market.
Opinion differed as to which side of
the market was responsible. 1t was
pointed out that 1t produced condi-
tions favoring first one side and then
the other. Stocks rose sharply at the
outset. giving operators who might
have been advised of the maneuvcr an
opportunity to cash in on sales in an
ticipation of a break. Then the break
came pushing almost the entire list to
new low levels, and giving operators
on that side an opportunity for
cleanup.
Among the orders TO buy4 received
here, were requests for $3.50 shares of
New York Central. 4,160 shares of
Chile copper, 900 shares of American
Woolen. 500 shares of American Car
and Foundry, 1850 shares of Dawson
Chemical and 500 shares of Westing-
house.
