PASTORS 111 FEAR
OF SUNDAY MOVIES
Mayor Wilson Assures Clergy-
There's No Occasion for
Alarm
That the fears of the Bridgeport
pastors association that because the
moving picture theatres of the city
were allowed to give performances
last Sunday evening for the benefit
of the relief fund for the flood suf
ferers of the west they will be allow
ed to continue to do business Bun
day evenings is unfounded is the sub
stance of an Interview given today
by- Mayor C. B. Wilson at the city
hall. Mayor Wilson had received a
communication from the association
regarding this matter.
Mayor Wilson said: "The fears of
the Bridgeport Pastors' association
that the moving picture theatres will
be allowed to do business Sunday ev
enings Is unfounded. They were per
mitted to remain open last Sunday
evening because the proceeds of the
performances were to be devoted to
the funds for the relief of the flood
sufferers of the west and as I be
lieved the object was a -worthy one
I permitted them to remain open. It
was only for this worthy object they
were allowed to do business and for
the future they will not be allowed
to give performances."
" The performances given at the dif
ferent moving picture theatres last
Sunday evening- amounted to a con
siderable sum, and will aid greatly in
relieving the distress among those
who suffered - from the disastrous
floods In the west.

and Chamber of Commerce
Prevent Trouble
Boston, April . 10 A strike of the 2,
200 telephone operators In. the 54 ex
changes of Greater Boston Which has
been threatened for the past few days,
was averted, it is believed, by a com
promise agreement reached early to
day.
The compromise was reached at 5: 30
a, m., after a series of intermittent
conferences lasting 30 hours, between-
President Spalding and other officers
of the New England Telephone &
Telegraph Company, the executive
committee of the operators' union and
the committee from the Boston -Cham
ber of Commerce whlc hacted as in
termediary. Formal ratification by
the mass of operators is necessary and
meetings for this purpose -will be held
tomorrow. Instead of the weekly
wage increases, averaging $1 each,
which the unions ' demanded-, the
agreement provides for the establish
ment by the company of a plan of an
niversary payments. These payments
are to be $25 at the end of the second
year; $50 annually flroTn the end of
the third to the end of the ninth year,
and $100 at the end of the 10th' year
and each succeeding year.
The so-called "split trick", the abo
lition of which was demanded, will
not be compulsory upon any operator
after .18 months' service. The lunch
period will be lengthened and the girls
"will have the maximum number of
holidays, Sundays and Saturday after:
noons oft that Is consistent with the
requirements of the service."
These concessions are effective June
1.
The agreement also provides for the
creation of an adjustment committee
consisting of three operators and three
representatives of the company wnicn
la to consider all grievances. An ap
peal may be had to the general man
ager or to the president of the com
pany.
"We have won, the operators da-
clared at the conclusion of the co
ferences, and ' they were not contra
dicted by company officials who were
standing nearby.
In -behalf of President Spalding, E.
K. Hall, vice president of the company,
said:
"The adjustment seems .. mutually
Both sfaes stated that the result
was due largely to the good offices erf
the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor
Fitzgerald and the State Board of
Conciliation and arbitration. : They
had .interested themselves In prevent
ing a strike when it seemed that the
city's business life would be crippled by
a suspension of its telephone service.
"The moment a strike was threat
ened . the company followed Its first
duty and called on Its reserve opera
tors to protect Its service," said Mr.
Hall. "After that had been done we
sat down to discuss the questions at
issue. The conferences were carried
on with the best of good nature."
The company had nearly 1,200 so
called emergency operators In the city
quartered at the most luxurious hotels
awaiting the strike call. . They came
from cities of the East, including New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington. Pittsburgh and , New England
points. One delegation of E0O girls
was on . the way from Chicago when
the agreement was reached.
Mr. Hall said that the 'girls would
be kept here several days longer. The
maintenance of this reserve rorce is
costing the company $9,000 dally.

REASSURING
REPORTS FROM
POPE PIUS X
Condition of Pontiff
Much Improved
But Serious
Weakness of Hsart and Inter
mittent Pulse Cause Anxiety
Takes Little Nourishment
Rome, April 10 The official Vati
can newspaper, the Osservatore Ro
mano, today, published the following
report on the Pope's condition.
"Contrary to what has been assert
ed by newspapers since yesterday
(Wednesday) morning, until the mo
ment In which we write, the Holy
Father has had no fever whatever,
His condition, however, requires the
necessary care usual in cases of in
fluenza."
At noon, today, the condition of the
Pope was much better but the weak
ness of his heart and his - intermit
tent pulse were still causing anxiety.
The doctors permitted him to con
sume an egg with broth instead of
milk tout the patient was able to
take It only with difficulty.
The Pope rested better, this after
noon, than he had done since the fee-
ginning of the relapse. ,Hia repose
was almost uninterrupted by cough
ing and his catarrh was looser.
The condition of Pope Plus X was
said to foe practically unchanged when
his physician. Prof. EJttore Marehia-
fava, paid him an early morning visit
today. He had passed a compara
tively calm night, although disturbed
occasionally by fits of coughing and
a period y great perspiration at about
midnight. The Pope's spirits were
cheered by bright weather but he con
tinued ' to feel - some 'nausea, and was
averse to ' taking " nourishment not-

COMPENSATION BILL
IS ALMOST READY
Optional, Not Compulsory, Insur-
ance Is to Be Recommended
by Committee
Hartford, April 10 That a work
men's - compensation bill will be re
ported favorably, by - the -Joint com
mittees on Judiciary and labor is as
sured, f The members held .a secret
session yesterday afternoon and the
different bills were gone over care
fully, with : the result that a num
ber of provisions in the various bills
were taken out as features for a, new
blU.
One of the important features de
cided upon was that the act should
not be compulsory, but optional, in
its Insurance features and it was de
cided that those employing five men,
or under should be exempt from ar;
of its provisions. This, of course, was
put forth as ' a sop to the farmers,
few of whom employ more than the
stipulated five. .The basis "Of compen
sation is. understood to have been
cut from 66 2-8 per- cent, 'embodied
in .the Federation of Labor bill to 50
per cent, and instead of the em
ployee sharing the burden of the in
surance the employer will shoulder
the whole burden.
It was. finally agreed that there
should be five commissioners, one ap
pointed from each Congressional dis
trict, and that the compensation
should be $4,000 a year and expenses.
All the commissioners are to be ap
pointed by the governor, without Sen
ate ratification.
The question of state insurance is
eliminated from consideration, entire
ly, it is understood. The Michigan
act allows four kinds of insurance
state, mutual, stock and Individual
and, after considerable debate, it is
probable that a bill will be reported
recommending three of these and
eliminating the state Insurance.. '
The bill will also probably provide
that the injured men receive "first
aid" treatment for thirty days, the
expense of which is to be paid by
the employer. The employee, how
ever, will have the right to enlist the
services of his own physician, if he
so chooses, but he will have to bear
the burden of that expense, himself,
and he has the privilege of dispens
ing with the services of the physician
furnished by his employer, if he so
chooses.
In cases where there is no insur
ance taken out by an employer and
an accident occurs, there may be an
agreement on compensation between
the. employer and the employee, pro
vided, however, that It be subject to
the approval of the commissioner of
that congressional district in which
the accident happened.
Another question, which was some
thing of a puzzle was as to whether
the 50 per cent, compensation should
be specific, or general, and it was de
cidide that it should be specific. This
will make a set scale of compensa
tion for certain injuries.
It was decided to adopt the prin
ciples of the Massachusetts act in
wiping out the defences of contribu
tory negligence, assumption of risk
and fellow servant rule for those who
come under the provisions of a com
pensation act..
The question of trial by Jury was
Injected into the proceedings, but it
was rejected. It was to provide for a
Jury trial if the employee wished, but
in that case he- was to forfeit ' any
privileges .which might accrue to him
under the provisions of the act.
The substance is that the commis
sion bill wins its optional Insurance
features, the Federation of Labor bill
its administrative board ideas, and ;
the manufacturers' bill its elimina
tion of state insurance ' j
RELIEF COMMITTEE
REMITS $5,000 TO
FLOODJSOFFERERS
Fund Now Totals ,$12,438.31
Contributions Must Be in
by April 15
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Bridgeport Relief Fund
held at noon today in the office of
Mayor C. B. Wilson in the City Hall
at which Fred Enos, Charles D. Davis,
Frank T. Staples, Robert .G. DeForest
and Judge E. F. Hallen were present
it was decided to send a portion of
the fund remaining in the hands of
the committee, about $5,6 00 to three
different funds in the flooded section.
The committee divided the fund
sending $1,000 to Dayton, Ohio, $3,000
to the Ohio state fund at Columbus,
and $1,000 to the state fund of In
diana. This will leave a considerable
balance in the hands of the' commit
tee to meet future emergencies as they
may arise, and the remainder of the
fund will be applied where It seems
to be most needed.
The committee also decided to close
the fund with the close of business
April 15, and that will be the last day
for. receiving money for this purpose.
There are some subscriptions which
have not yet been paid in and the
committee wishes all such promises
fulfilled before the 15th of the month.
It was decided to hold a meeting of
the committee on April 16 for the
purpose of closing up the affairs of
the fund.
Treasurer Frank T. Staples said
that something more than $12,000 had
already been received of which $2,000
had been sent direet to Dayton, $3,000
to the Ohio state fund, and $1,000 to
the Indiana fund, $250 -to Nebraska,
and $500 to Kentucky, special appeals
having been received from the latter
places. Treasurer Staples read ac
knowledgments of the receipt -of the
funds.
Mr. Staples said he was not In pos
session of Information which would
tell where the greatest need is at the
prpsent time, but other members of
the committee believed that Ohio has
suffered worse than any of the other
states, and the decision was made to
divide the fund as given above. Up
to the present time the expense of
administering the fund has been
about $50. The fund:

The difference between selling 11

Country club and dispensing bever
ages at the humble East Side hotel,
East Norwalk, was discussed before
Judge Shumway in the superior court
yesterday afternoon when John R.
L'Hommedieu's appeal from the
county commissioners was heard.
Mrs. Leo Davis, wife of the liquor
prosecutor in Norwalk, was on the

Attorney Keogh, representing the
applicant, asked if the boy didn't
have to pass four or five other sa
loons and also wanted to know if the
witness didn't take her boy to the
Norwalk Country club where more li
quor was sold in a . day than was
consumed in a week at the hotel. The
witness admitted the boy went to the
country club but she couldn't see the
Justice of the comparison.
Arguments were heard in the case
this morning and Judge Shunvway re

from the decision of the commission

SENATORS WON'T
HAVE HEARINGS
ON TARIFF BILL

Threshed Out
Expert Testimony and Sp
information May Be Sor
However
il
Washington, April 10 The 'sn.te
finance committee has determine : -ot
to have hearings on the tariff is: 11.
Manufacturers in many lines of in
dustry have appealed to Chairman
Simmons and other - members of the
committee for an opportunity to pre
sent arguments against the rates pro
posed in the Underwood bill. The
Senate committee members take the
position, however, that these hearings
conducted by the.- House Ways and
Means committee in January were
Sufficiently thorough to cover - practi
cally all points the ' Senate needs to
consider in connection with the tar
iff revision. -
It is believed now that the tariff
bill,' after it finally reaches the Sen
ate, will not remain In the commit
tee more than 10 days. Some expert
testimony and some new information
upon certain disputed ideas may be
secured by the committee but no open
hearings will be held.
Republican . forces are preparing for
a united attack upon the Democratic
revision on the ground that It not
only destroys all protection to many
American industries but that in many
features it practically Is a free trade
bill.
It is expected that a conference of
Republicans' will be held within a
few days to discuss some of the more
drastic features of the proposed Dem
ocratic revision. .
House Democrats met to resume
consideration of the tariff bill in
caucus when the House adjourned.
The chemical schedule having been
approved exactly rfs written by this
Ways and Means committee, the
earthen and glassware 'schedule was
next. " Considerable opposition to
some of the cuts - on pottery came
from New. - Jersey . and Pennsylvania
members. . J
Indications seem to be that -the
House Democratic caucus eventually
will - ratify the schedules as present
ed, Including free raw wool and- the
25 per cent cut in sugar with the pro
vision for Its going on the free list
in , three years. Opposition forces,
however, are preparing for a strug
gle for a duty on raw wool and to
eliminate the free- sugar provision.
The opponents of free wool are mak
ing the argument that the party went
to the people in the last , election
committed to a duty ' on raw wool
as based on the wool schedule passed
in Congress and vetoed by the Pres
ident. . They declare that when the
House agreed that a duty of - 20 per

conference it went on record before
the public. - ,
Opponents of the textile schedules
had a test vote In the . caucus, yes

QUICK ENDING
OF R. R. CASES
SURPRISES BAR
Local lawyers today expressed1 great
suirprise at the abrupt ending of the
criminal prosecution of the four Jew
Haven railroad officials charged with
responsibility for the Westport wreck.
Judge Greene yesterday afternoon
granted the motion of the railroad
company lawyers asking for separate
trials for each of the accused.
It Is pointed out that ' the duties
of the four men are Interlocked to
such an extent that It may be almost
impossible to convict them as ' individ
uals. As each man went on trial he
could shift the responsibility for the
conditions which caused the wreck.
The fact that the railroad lawyers
claimed there were no rules specify
ing each official's duties would be an
other obstacle in the State's attempt
to secure a conviction.
Reports have been in circulation to
day that a bench warrant would be
asked for President Charles Mellen
of the New Haven railroad. . State's
Attorney Judson when seen today
said he had no statement to make and
would have nothing to say until to
morrow when he would have some in
formation for the public.

DONOVAN'S FIRST
SPEECH MADE FOR
DANBURYHATTERS
Says Manufacturers Believe Cut
in Tariff in Underwood Bill
Is to Severe
Underwood Says Connecticut El
ected 5 Democrats to Lower
Tariff M'Lean's Views
(By Our Washington Corres.)
Washington. Apr! 110 Represent
tive Jeremiah Donovan made his de
but on the floor of Congress when he
arose in the Democratic caucus and
stated that the manufacturers of hats
in his district as well as those of sev
eral other industries were of the opin
Ion that the cut in the tariff had been
more severe than these manufacturers
had wished. He will have an oppor
tunity later of specifying the claims
made by the hat makers and other
manufacturers..
Leader Underwood good naturedly
responded to the Connecticut con
gressman by stating that the Demo
cratic party had gone before the peo
ple with a plan to lower the tariff
and that he believed that Connecticut
had wanted it lowered because of the
fact that she had sent five repre
sentatives to Congress. -
Congressman Donovan did not press
his argument any further at that time
as the real discussion of the matter
is to come later on. Representative
Peters, of Massachusetts, a member
of the Ways & Means committee, and
chairman of the meeting of New Eng
land Democratic representatives
preparing a statement setting forth
the attitude of the New England dele
gation -toward the pending tariff bill
The rates that the manufacturers are
willing to accept on various commo
dities are from 10 to 15 per cent, high
er than proposed by the bill and
great deal less than the tariff now In
effect.
The Danbury hat makers have dis
covered another clause in the bill to
which they object. It Is the schedule
affecting rabbit and hare skins. Every
man who wears a stiff hat or soft fur
hat wears a hat that is made of rab
bit or hare fur. The hat makers have
been importing the skins direct and
using the fur in the process of manu
facture. The raw furs came in free
and the new tariff provides for a 10
per cent duty. The hat makers be
lieve that the Ways & Means com
mittee made the increase without any
intention of hurting the hatting In
dustry, but made the increase because
the rabbit skins are used in the manu.
facture-. of "Pony skin" coats, and it
was the opinion of the members that
fur coats are in a degree a luxury.
: Hardware Man Goes Home.
I.D. Russell, representing the Amer
lean Hardware Corporation of ' New
Britain left for home last night. He
is of the opinion that few changes if
any will be made In the general text
of the-bill,-until it reaches the Senate.
This is said to be the opinion of Con
gressman Kennedy of Naugatuck who
believes that unless it is shown that
mistakes have been made that there
will be . few changes in the bill when
it passes the House.
McLean to Meet Bryan.
- Senator McLean will meet Secre-
tary Bryan to talk about the birds at
8:45 p. m. today. He has been as
sured by Senator Root, of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, that the
resolution calling upon the President
to propose conventions with foreign
nations will be favorably reported
within a day or two. Many of the
most useful and beautiful birds that
summer in New England are not cov
ered by the federal act as they spend
the winter in Cuba and South Amerl
can countries. The Department of
Agriculture has information that large
numbes of scarlet tanager, . indigo
bird, English robin, and others have
been exported to Europe this last
winter and it will only be by treaties.
such as obtain in Europe, that they
will be saved from extermination. Sen
ator McLean has received assurances
from President Wilson that he Is
heartily In favor of the new law and
that he Is also In favor of supplement
ing it with effective treaties with oth
er nations. The Secretary of Agricul
ture is also in hearty sympathy with
Mr. McLean's migratory bird bill and
the Secretary has already appointed
three experts to prepare the way for
the administration of the law.
McLean's Tariff Views,
When asked about the new tariff
bill. Senator McLean said that It ought
to be called a bill to raise European
and lower American wages, or a bill
to help Old England and hurt New
England. "The people ' of America
will realize some day that times are
better, wages higher and employment
more certain than ever before In the
history of this country," said he. "I
fear the people have been greatly de
ceived, and if the Democratic party
enacts the Underwood Bill, wages will
have to be materially lowered or
many factories close' their doors, and
hard times f o the manufacturers mean
hard times for the farmers, but the
bill is not yet a law. It will be per
sistently "opposed and I sincerely hope
that some of the drastic and unrea
sonable reductions will be eliminated."

Dead Man's Brother Is Now to
State's Prison Awaiting
Death Penalty
Stranger even thaoi the most graph V
depiction of romance and' crime writ
ten in classic fiction Is the story pass
ed from member to member of the
underworld today, of the death of
pretty Jennie Cavallerl, moordered by
her husband while with others near
Stratford, October 3:; the blowing up
of the Klelnberger -store In Water
street last Sunday night, and the as-'
sassl nation of Amadio Buonomo, the
lover of -Cavallerl, who in an effort to
save his brother rom the gallows- and
avenge the death of the one be loved,
received the "sign of death" in Bridge
port. .
Though from the first suspected to
have been the design of one who
sought vengeance against Jacob
Klelnberger, it waa not learned, until
some time afterwards by the local
police that the crime had connection
with the killing of the girl Who was
brought from Chicago - to keep her
from telling the white-slave secrets
she possessed.
It was but today that news of the.
coincident assassination of Amadio
Buonomo reached police circles, al
though intimation was received here
by the underworld on the night of the
bomb outrage.
It Is further said that at the itme
of the Cavallerl killing, when Buono
mo. Plzzlsoeml and Mattes, were ar-.
rested, friends of the latter two, be
lieving them fully innocent and wish
ing to le Boonomb suffer: the penalty
for his hasty act, flocked to the res
cue of their two local friends. It is
asserted that men and women of the
underworld went m streams to local
pawnbrokers, and particularly to
Klelnberger with Jewels and pledges
of, all descriptions, securing between
$5,000 and $10,000. Estimates place
the amount advanced at different times
by Klelnberger in the neighborhood of
$6,000, although confirmation could not
be secured from the ; local loan man
today-- :.... -J.- 'k- : -: . f.-
Amadio Buonomo; hearing -of the
murder of the woman he loved, and
who bore his picture near her heart
at the time of death, hastened to New
York where he publicly declared that
the killing was done by. a white-slave
gang and not by his brother's hand.
He swore-vengeance and with $1,000
in his possession came to Bridgeport
announcing that he would " free his
brother. ' ' -
Immediately upon arriving here, a
stranger, he sought counsel and show
ing $1,000 in bills avowed his Inten
tion of securing the freedom of Joseph
Buonomo. He was referred to CulH-
nan & Culllnan, who while not ac
cepting- his case considered doing so
and he' was told to return. He never
entered the office again, as he waa
followed from the office by members
of a gang credited with having inter
national affiliations and near the Jim
Jacques saloon was given the sign of
the crooked finger, which means
death.
Familiar as he was with the sign.
and realizing that once given it was
never countermanded, he believed
that flight might extend his life, and
by divers crooks and turns managed
to escape the fate which awaited him.
He was found in New Tork where In
the old haunts so well known to him
near Second avenue and 114th street.
he established himself in the liquor
business under an assumed name.
Last week, according to the state-
ments made to the police by Kleln
berger, he was attempting to bring
in large amounts of money owed him
by various denizens of the district.
It was apparently decided that all
connected with the case must pay ths
penalty of their knowledge an4 Satur
day night, as Amadio Buonomo, but
27 years of age, passed through the
Italian quarter of East 118th street.
where the lights are low, a second
story window softly opened. & rifle
was thrust forth and a bullet pene
trated the heart of the doomed man.
Though living when picked up by ths.
ambulance surgeons he died Sunday
morning in the Harlem Hospital. Th
assassin escaped. The killing ox
Amadio is attributed by the New Torfc
police to the remnants Of a murder
ous band of slayers known as the
Barrel Gang" of which both Joseph
Buonomo and his brother were be
lieved to have been a part by the Chi
cago authorities.
The local police have clues which.
indicate that not one local man alone
was responsible for the setting of the
bomb, but have information which
leads them to believe that strangers
as well were implicated, " Though a.
