Ambassador Harvey will quit his
pus". n bout the first of the year. Am-
l*.':ssad0i' Childs. who has either left
or is about to leave Rome for the
l'nilt-d States. will not go back.

Other to Remain

None of tho-other American am-
Marauders or ministers. the State
tux-:lrlmenl sum .1 . . ll. .
nuance-ment. has any similar agree-
:mnt limiling his term 0L i'hitit“: 5-;
Hr as known. ' ,

The only explanation or the two
resignations given in official quar-
tvrs was that in both cases the am—
bassadors had a. few months ago
reached agreements with President
Harding as to the length of time
could continue at their posts.
Whether they have deferred their
lnIii‘t‘liicnl. because 0» :‘rcsldent
Harding's death until President
I Coolidge should feel that they could

be spared was not disclosed. In

both cases there have been inti-

mations. however. that the ambassa—
‘ .iors were finding their positions
unduly burdensome in a. financial
way and'tliat they felt. they; must.
. give attention to their personal af~
A" fairs.

There was no calcial word avail-
able last night as to successors
President Coalidgs might send to fill
the posts. At the State department
it was not admitted that any steps
had yet been taken to sound out the
mo governments as to suitability of
pousiblo appointees.

Both of the retiring ambassadors
played important parts in the cam-
paign which resulted in the elec-
non of President Harding and since
entering upon their diplomatic du-
ties they have been prominent ug-
urea in negotiations having to .do
with possible M‘ar developments.
They have. functioned at times as
American observers on the Allied
Council of,Ambsssadors which suc-
" ceeded the Council of Premiers in
dealing with peace treaty matters.

The outstanding incident of Brit.-
ish-American relations during the
period of Ambassador flawey's du-
tivs in Londmn was the conclusion of
the British debt negotiations. \Vhen
lm: exchange-s reached their final
stage and Premier Baldwin- then
t'hnnccllon/was in the United States
pith th .riiish commission to work
out do is on an agreement. Mr.
Harvey was called home to aid in
bringing the refunding to a. success-
:ul conclusion.

Ambassador Childs headed the
American delegation ‘sent to the
first Lausanno conference for con-
clusion of ‘peacc between Turkey
and the Allies. While the United
\ Flatt-s was not at war with Turkey.
. it was felt necessary that American

viewpoints should be fully presented
during the treaty negotiations even
though the American-delegates did
not participate in any decisions of
the conference. Mr. Childs was the
American spokesman in the doci-
anion-and also gave his aid.toward
peaceful solution 'of ‘many of the
difficult problems which repeatedly
threatened to disrupt the confer-

ence. ,

The ambassador to London has

and since his appoxmment as am-
‘Jaasador. interspersed with his of—

ber of addresses which caused rever-
brntions in various quarters. .

Probably his. most famous utter-
ance was the spobch he made on
the causes which actuated America
during the war. He was denounced
and defended by many persons for
this addren‘which eventually be-

Transformers Fail in
Pittsfield Test South
Norwalk Bd. of Com-
missioners Learn —
May have to Restrict
Light and Power

Word was received yesterday by
the Board of Electrical Commie-
sioners that the large station trans-
formers. which constitute a. .vital
part of the new equipment 'at the
South Norwalk Electric Works. had
failed while being tested at the
Pitisflcld factory of the General
Electric company. and would have
to be rebuilt.

This will entail a delay of from
six to eight weeks and will seriously
hamper the apaltcy of the Electric
'Works during the fall period when
the demands | - electric lighting and
power are the heaviest during the
year. These transformers are a
part .of' the equipment ordered 'ast
spring and should have been deliver-

 

 

 

ed early in September. As a resuli'
it mas: be necessary for the Electric-

al Commissioners to restrict the use!
of the service for both light and

the middle of November. until the
‘sqnipnieut arrives.

Outfit» other hand. forces at the
factory and at the local plant are
being exerted to the utmost degree.
so as to both shorten and eliminate
this unavoidable delay, as much as
possible.

After answering the roll call.
Councilman Albert Pohlxnan stated
that as the first business was the
election of a City Clerk. he would
place the nomination of Irving R.
Robertson before the meeting.
Councilman Taylor then nominated
Stephen Dokus. Mr. Robertson was
elected. the five Democratic mem-
bers voting for him and three Ee-
pubiicans voting for Mr. Dokus.

The mayor asked Mr. Robertson
in come forward and take the oath
of office. which was administered by

Mr. Dokus. who shook hands with ‘

Mr. Robertson and said: "Mr.
Robertson. I congratulate you on
your election." This act was greet-
ed with loud applause by the au-
dience who had also applauded the

Iciection of Mr. Robertson;

The Democratic leaders breathed
a great deal easier after this was
owr. as it had been the office over
which the trouble occurred “'ednes—
day night. It was seen by this ac-

.tion that there was again harmony

delegation. Councilman James ex-
plained his action of going home

After Mr. Robertson had taken
the office of city clerk. Councilman

that. it was customary in all parli-

Mayor Robins declared the nomi—
nations would be laid on the table
until the next meeting. Councilman
Pohlman asked the reason for this
move. Mayor Robins replied that
the appointments to the omces
named by Mr. Pohlman were left
to the mayor. Mr. =Pohlman answer-
ed that the charter of the city stat-
ed _that the council should make
the appointments. . .

The matter was then referred to
Corporation Council, B'iliiam F.
Tammany. who stated that the ap-
pointments were in the mayor's
hand according to the rule at the
council. Mr. Pohiman asked him
if he meant to state that rules‘of
the common council superceded the
city charter and with this. Council-
man Riordan presented a book con-
taining the charter of the city to
Mr. Tammany and asked him to
read on page 1066. under the head
of Organisation of the City Coun-
cil. Hr. Tammany replied that he
saw nothing there that‘wonld ‘tn-

to the council. but that they could
