 It was apparent that for the inp- inent on advance of the JapaneSe infantry was impossible, and the ar- tiilerymen took, on the duel. While the Chinese poured shells into the HongkeW area and the Jap- anese lines north of the city, Jap- anese artillery and naval guns cen- tered their fire on the Chapel area and Pootung, across tho Whangpoo river from the International settle- ment.
 It was evident that the Chinese guns were expertiy manned. All morning, the Chinese gunners and Japanese aviators played hide and seek. The Chinese gunners gunD would open up and blast the Jap- anese lines until Japanese observa- ton and bombing planes rose to seek them. The Chinese guns would cease fire suddenly and complete. ly.

Warren Upson and his associates who have seen At to expel Us from the Re. publican party. We were Republi- cans long before MT. Upson ever came to Waterbury. We will still be Republicans when he has left We are sincere, when we soy that this years ticket iS Q 'sell-out and that every genuine Republican should vote against It."
 Not Telling Truth
 stephen J. "Jim Hicks" Winston, another of the eight signerS, said: MT. Upson is afraid to toll the truth. He said in his speech last night that we were dropped because we did not have any popular aps peal as candidates. Lot MT. Upson look ct tho record. I had the good fortune two years ago, when run. ming for city clerk on the Republi- can ticket, to poll the highest vote ever given any Republican nominee in c city election in Waterbury. MT.

And we'll get . real Republican party, despite Mir. Ups son and his calumniations of Us be- cause we were men enough to be fortnight and sincere"
 Similar Opinions

Husband, Wife
 Dispute Ends-- Taverns Lose!

Judge John F. McGrath ef- fectcd a compromise in city court today to settle a domestic dispute. A husband was charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace, with his wife as conn., plainant.
 The wife said the husband goes to a tavern on ScOvill street, gets drunk, then comes home and beats her. The huS- band cOuntered with the claim that his wife spends most of her time in a Bank street drinking place, and that he has to go there to get the key whenever he wants to get in the house. The wife indignantly denied this, saying she only went to the place for soda.
 After both parties finished their arguments, the judge sug- gested that the husband keep out of the Scovill street tavern if the wife promised to keep out of the Bank street place, and vice versa.
 Husband and wife sOlemnly agreed to the proposal and left the courtroom arm m-in-arm.

Anne Reed of West Cheshire against the Connecticut Company, which is based on that crash. Miss Reed, who at the time of the crash was student at Wilby high school, is a minor, and the suit is directed through her father, Otto Reed. Witnesses Called
 Other passengers of the bus that crashed, witnesses of the crash, and doctors who examined Miss Reed at the time and since, will be called to the stand to testify. The majority of this morning was given over to examining of Miss Reed, who was visibly shaken and highly nervous. At one time during the examina- tion by her counsel, Attorney Will liam K. Lawlor, and cross-examina- tion by Attorney William J. Larkin, Jr., for the defense, she broke in- to tears, and had to be assisted by Deputy Sheriff James E. OLeary. All throughout her testimony she continuously called for water. Im- mediately after her breakdown, Judge Kenneth Wynne ordered a 4CNCtoo DO dllOW UO 1CoUs
 She was recalled to the stand af- ter the recess to tell of her sensa- tions just before the bus went in- to a skid and slithered into the huge tree with its cargo of human ity, of which five were never to recover from the effects.
 Negligence Alleged
 It is claimed in the complaint that the operator of the bus, Will liam ODonnell, who also died in the crash, was negligent in that he operated the vehicle in a reckless and too-speedy fashion. Special permission of the United States dis trict court was necessary before the suit could be brought against the Connecticut Company, as that com- pany is recognizing under section 77B of the bankruptcy statutes. This was obtained at New Haven, March 4, 1887.
 Unable to Work
 On the stand today, Miss Reed stated that she is unable to assist in any sort of work and that she is AA4 SSAAoOfNAAV PoAAA cO O 4COulU O1 injuries suffered. She said that for five months after returning from the hospital she had not tried to do anything, and then when she at- tempted to assist in any task she found it impossible. Daily applica- tions of liniment and hot congresses to her back and ankle are necessary to alleviate the pain, she said, and two doctors are visited each week.
 Under cross-examination by At torney Larkin she admitted that it was more mental than physical anguish that she was suffering. She further admitted that she rode about in automobiles and attended the theater regularly, as well as making visits upon her friends.
 Fell Yesterday
 Further allegation of injury to her ankle was substantiated when she said that while visiting Attorney Lawlor's office yesterday she fell as a result of weakening of the joint.
