Paris Authorities Probe Sanity Of Jules SalOs

PARIS, May 17.-Jules Salos is a thief, and. he is being examined for insanity, not because he steals, but because he always repents.

 The priest was so impressed by the penitent- that he undertook to make restitution for the stolen property, and gave Salos job. as a servant in a community of Carmelite nuns.
 The valet worked. well until one day he, found 1000 francs in notes in an open drawer. He took them and left the convent, but was soon seized with remorse and threw the notes ill the river. This time he. confessed to the police, and now is beyond temptation.

FIREMEN STRIKE FOR SUPPORT AND
 HOUSE IS BURNED
Fairfield Vamps Meant It When They Said, "No Money, No
 Service" Town Finds.

Fairfield, Jan. 5-The Tunxis HiN
 Fire Company, No. ?, was in earnest
 when it said recently that it would answer no more fire alarms until the |townspeople gave it financial backing.
 When fire alarm was given Sunday night, the Tunxis hremen did not re- spond and as a result the home of Carulas Derosne on Greenfield road was destroyed.
 The fire was only a short distance from the Tunxis headquarters and had the hremen responded, the house would probably have been saved, people say. The Fairfield Fire Com pany, No. I, was summoned from Fairfield Center some distance from the scene of the blaze, and the fire gained headway before the fremen arrived. Great sheets of flame ex- tended up into the sky which was il- house quickly burned to the ground, despite the efforts of the fremen and the loss is estimated at $2,ooo.
 Mir Dersone, his wife and two chill dren escaped injury. The building was a one and one-half story frame dwell ing, and the fire, starting in the chim- ney, soon engulfed the whole struc- ture.
 Among the crowd at the scene were members of the Independent Political Club with which the Tunxis hremen are at odds and which maintains as grounds for its attitude that the Tunxis company won't take in new members.
 F. H. Whitman said he telephoned an alarm of fire to the company, but William Dresser, president of the Tunxis organization, said he didn't know there was a fire Mr. Dresser said that the company had "never re- fused yet" to answer an alarm. Form CT Chief Leander Hedberg, driver of the engine, said he knew there was a fire, but that the company "wasn't any alarms"

PENNSY VIOLATES THE LAW; R. R.
 CLERKS LOSE CASE

Philadelphia, Jan. '6. Federal Judge Dickinson has dismissed the plea of organized railway clerks that the Pennsylvania railroad be com manded to obey that portion of the transportation act which provides that railroad employees have the right to select representatives who shall ne gotiate with employers.
 The railroad company refused to deal with representatives of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. These workers insist that the law gives them the right to choose their own representatives. The Railroad Labor Board has taken this position, also, and ruled last June that the rail- road company has no more right to take this position than the clerks would have to dictate to stockholders of the road who they should choose for their board of directors:
 It would appear that in the present case the court seemed to have in mind that the clerks were appealing for the enforcement of a ruling by the Rail- enforcement of law.
 this," said udge Dickinson, "and, if the analogue is helpful, there has been an appeal taken to another tribunal the court of public opinion. All which concerns us Is that an appeal to this court Is not the legal right of either party"
 The court repeatedly emphasized that the labor board has no power to enforce it's decisions-a point that labor made when big business and it's allies were shouting during the shop mems strike that these workers were "defving government"
 Judge Dickinson, however, ignored the plain mandate of the transporta- ton act that railroads must recog- nize representatives of emp1oyes. This is not labor board decision. It is the law of the land It is being violated with impunity by the Penn sylvania railroad
