STAMFORD JUDGE FIGHT IS ENDED
Young and Skene Announce
 Their Withdrawal

Stamford, Feb. 5 RrThe general assembly's task of appointing a Stamford judge was made sssy to- day by the withdrawal Of Judge Samuel Young and George NJ. skene from the race. In communications to Senator Matthew H. Kenealy, Judge | Young and Mir. Skene authorize him to withdraw their names which were presented to the legislature a week or so ago.
 The withdrawal of Judge Young and MT. Skene leaves the way clear for the appointment of Deputy Judge James E. Brinckerhoff as judge and Justus J. Fennel as dep- uty judge,
 Judge Young has been associated with the Stamford city court for 30 years. He was the center of a fight for the appointment last session of the legislature. His name this ses- sion was brought In the house, by request, by Representative Fisher. MT. Fisher, however. later from the floor, denied that he had introduced the resolution, saying that he had given it to Daniel F. B. Hickey, house clerk, with the statement that he would not offer 1t to the assem- bly, as he had been requested. His name appears in the journal as the one who brought in the resolution.

Congress Sees Several
 Unusual Alliances Now

Washington, Feb. D A') - Unique alliances in the senate appear to be the order during the closing days of the 69th congress.
 Some are dictated by an eX- pediency, some by politics and still others by an -weening desire of q large majority of senators to remove the necessity for an extra session of the 10th congress. One of the strangest of them all is the combination of the farmer and the banker legislators whereby the McNary- Haugen and the Me Fadden branch banking bills would be put through with the use of fcloture If that becomes necessary.
 Another combination which had democrats vainly seeking the an- swer was furnished yesterday when the regulars and insurgents temporarily buried the political hatchet to head off the democrats in their effort to declare for tax reduction legislation at this ses- sion.
 The lineup on the naval Lill earlier in the week also furnishel ] something of @ surprise with the republican old guard splitting on the question of supporting the president against immediate con struction of three more scout cruisers and number Of the dem ocrats among them most of the so-called radicals, standing be- hind the executive.

PARK CITY POLICE !
 AGAIN CENSURED
Clergyman Repeats Charges of
 Lazity

Bridgeport, Feb. 5.-Rev. Charles w. Simpson. superintendent of the Bridgeport Christian Union, reiter- ated last night. at banquet of the w. c. T. U., his charges made Janu- ary 16, the seventh anniversary of the eighteenth amendment, that police officials in this city are lax in enforcing the liquor law.
 MT. Simpson created a stir last month when he said that Superin- tendent of Police Patrick Flanagan was handicapped by the police board and that law inforcement is con- trolled by former saloonkeepers and men who were seldom sober. The police board immediately replied. through Chairman Samuel Dave. that unless Mir. Simpson supported his charges with definite proof or withdrew them, he would be sub poenaed before the board and put in jail if he refused to testify.
 Since that time the police board has held meeting but it did not extend an invitation for Mir. Simp- son to appear.
 When Mir. Simpson arose to speak at the banquet last night, he was ap- plauded until he finally raised hiA hand for silence. He said that he had in his possession sworn affi- davits that liquor can be bought in the business district of the city and that the authorities know about it ( they're not on their job. If we have policemen who won't serve us let us get some who will"

19 YEAR OLD COLLEGE
 GIRL HELD AS ROBBER
South Dakota Young Woman Found Inside Bank at Vermillion,
 s. D., Early Today.

Vermillion, s. D., Feb. 5 (UP)- Miss Marian Meyers, 19-year-old CO., ed at the University of South Da- kota, was arrested today when she was unable to explain her presence in the First National bank before it had opened its doors.
 Dennis Sullivan, night watchman at the bank, found the girl hiding near the vaults. He said she was concealing an electric drill when he came upon her. but that the cord was too short to reach the nearest electric light plug.
 An open window at the rear of the bank is believed to be the ox- planation of the girls presence. She was taken into custody by coun- ty authorities and subjected to severe cross ss-examination.

ARMY DEFENDING CITY OF SHANGHAI
Continued from Page Seven)

await further instructions there. It was understood the warships would be held in readiness for immediate sailing 10 Shanghai in the event of an emergency.
 London, Feb. Pt-Great Britain has no intention, for the present at least, of retreating from it's decision to land an adequate force of troops at Shanghai to defend British na- iionals in case of outbreaks against foreigners.
 This was indicated after lengthy deliberations by the cabinet minis tcrs. They were summoned yester- day primarily to discuss foEnalities connected with the re-openng of parliament next week after the holi- day recess. But the ail-important Chinese problem came up early in the sessions and it continued 10 be the chief topic although so far as was reached.
 AS though to emphasize the gov- ernment's determination to be pre- pared for eventualities at Shanghai. the foreign office denied that pro- poSal had been made to Eugene Chen, the Cantonese foreign minis ter, to divert to Hongkong the transports now converging on Shang hai. Such an offer was reported to have been sent to Chen in answer to his stand that he would aign no agreement unless the British with drew their Shanghai defense force.
 Another Phase.
 Another phase of the suspended negotiations between Chen and the British representative at Hankow. Owen O'Malley, is brought out by the contention of the Cantonese for eign minister that Great Britain is discussing with other Chinese au- thorities notifications in the status of British concessions, is treating with those who do not represent nationalist China. In this conncc- ton. the British government has eX- pressed the view that there is readiness both by north and south China to enter into negotiations on the basis of the British offer, but enc side is jealous of the other.
 Micrael Borodin, styled adviser to the Cantonese government, is again charged with instigating the decisions of Chen-this time by Lieutenant Colonel Amery. British secretary for the colonies. In speech at Birmingham last night, dealing with the suspension of the Hankow negotiations, the secretary declared. 'The voice we heard was the voice of Chen, but behind 1t was

TRIES ID KILL

FitchburS War Veteran Then
 Attempts Suicide

Fitchburg, Mass, Feb. 5 (UP)- After, it is alleged, he had attempted to kill his wife and four children with gas, Edward F. Murphy, World War veteran. was arrested here to- day.
 Later, police reported he tried to commit suicide by hanging in his po- lice cell.
 According to the authorities, Mur- phy, who had been drinking. opened four gas jets in the kitchen of his home because his wife had scolded him for becoming intoxicated.
 Mrs. Murphy was awakened by the odor of gas and found her husband in a semi-conscious condition on a kitchen couch. She notified police and Murphy was arrested. The moth- CT and children were not seriously affected by the gas fumes.

Hickey, bishop of the diocese of the Providence, which includes the whole state, was brought into the open yesterday with the publica- ton of a pastoral letter by the bishop in which he charged a small number" of Franco-Americans with obstructing the accumulation of funds for Catholic high schools and "othcr diocesan establishments, even those of christian charity"
 The letter, published in The Visitor" weekly publication of the diocese. reveals that the leader of the insurgent faction, Elphege Diag- nault of Woonsocket, appealed to the apostolic delegate at Washington for immunity from eXcommunica- ton in the event that he should bring suit against churches which have furnished money from their general funds for the erection of Catholic high schools. This im- munity was refused him.
 Notwithstanding this refusal and the bishops letter. Mir. Daignault at his WoonsocIlet home tonight announced his intention to enter suit in the civil courts of the state next week for recovery of the money and for an order preventing other Franco-American churches from contributing money similarly.
 We have offered up prayers and masses" says the bishops letter. ''in an appeal to the Holy Spirit to enlightep the minds and strengthen the will of these victims of dessen- sion, and at the same time to per suade them to abandon road which must surely lead to the loss of mem bership in the church."
 MT. Daignault is the organizer of Q Franco-American group known as crusaders" whose purposes are said to be a division Of the dioceses that French speaking parishes may be under the Jurisdiction of a French speaking bishop and the subordina- ton of English language instruction to French language instruction in parochial schools.
