"big coalition” of the Moderate;
comprising the Socialist, Clerical‘:
Democratic and Peoples parties, 18'
regarded As assured or; the basis of _
partial returns from yesterday's var-i
liamentary election. ‘ ;
Thus the people have apparently;
placed the seal oc approval on thu‘
Dawes reparation report. as the
leaders of moderates. including For- '
align Minister Stresemanu. based
their campaign on the adoption and.
execution of the report as _8. sure;
cure for the country’s ailments.
While the counting on the ballots
is necessarily slow. due to the large
number of party tickets in the field.
indications are that the coalition will
have sufficient seats in the Reich-
stag to force through thel‘enabllng
legislation required by the Dawes
report with little help from the In-
dependent factions.
The Nationalists and Communists
made some gains, but. the vote polled
by General Ludendorff's ultra-mon-
archists did not come up to expecta-
tions. and the result indicates decl-
slve failure of the reactionary and
radical campaigns. .
The balloting was heavy and fl is
probable that at least fifteen new
deputies will be added to the Reich-
slag, increasing the membership to
475.
Up to six o’clock this,mornlng._re-
turns from twenty-two of the seven-
ty-tlve electoral district showed the
election of 244 candidates, including
28 Socialist Democrats. 33 Commun-
ists, 12 Democrats. 39 Conterlsts. 25
German Peoples Party. 2 National-
late and 13 Bavarian Peoples party.
The remainder were distributed
among the various other parties.
About 75 per cent of the elector—
ate voted throughout the Reich.
Among the notables elected are
General Ludendorlt. head of the
Extreme Nationalists: Chancellor
Mai-x. former . lor \Virth. the
young Prince Von Bismarck. grandv
son of the Iron Chancellor; Oskar
Hergt: Admiral Tlrpitz. the min-
lstcr of the navy during the \Vorld
War, and Otto \Vels.
Available results are sufficient to
i
show roughly how the new Reich-
stng will be constituted. The SD-
ciailists lost between 60,and 60
seats. chiefly to the Communists, but
are stlll the strongest party in the
House with about 110 deputies. as
compared with 172 before the elec-
tion.
The German Nationalists will
stand next in strength with about 90
deputies. or a. gain of from 20 to
26. The Communists will have 45
or 50 deputies. an increase of from
30 o 36. and the Extreme National-
ists will probably have 20 beats as
against 3 in the last Reichstag.
There is every indication that the
German Nationalists will be the do.
cldlng factor in the new govern—
ment.

Although undergraduate opinion

DOESN T WANT

A N Y ‘M O R E
Troubles of John Pryor
Colored, and His
' Wife Are Told in
Court
The martial troubles of John
Pryor. colored. of 22 Butler street.
and his wife were aired in the up—
town city court this morning where
the former was given a. hearing
charged with breach of the peace,
use of abusive language and threat-
ening language.
After it had been stated on the
witness stand that Mrs. Pryor was
considering obtaining a divorce,
Judge George H. Vosburgh continu-
ed the case from day to day.
“Do you want to have anything
'moro to do with your husband '2"
the. court asked Mrs. Pryor.
“No," she replied.
"Do you intend to start divorce
proceedings '3“ ‘
"Yes. Ludo." ,
"“‘ell, do you want him sent to
tau ‘-."f '
"No. I don't want him prosecut-
ed." replied Mrs. Pryor. “I simply
want him ‘to keep away." /
The whole controversy happened.
according to evidence given in court.
at. the home of her father. Rev. Mr.
Thomas in Butler street. It was
brought out that Saturday Pryor
had packed his trunk and said he
was through and going away. Rev.
Thomas told the court he was satis‘
fled and hadn't objected except to
warn his son-ln-law he wouldn‘t. be
allowed in the house any more. It
appears Pryor came back and tried
to see his wife and was refused ad-
mittance. lie was sitting on the
veranda of the home when taken
into custody. .
Pryor told the court an entirely
different story. He said he and his
‘ wife Friday night had talked over
family matters. His wife had urged
him to leave town and make good
somewhere while she took a. course
in business college. He agreed. The
next day be packed his trunk and
left the house.
"After I went away a. while.
judge." said the witness. "I started
to think things over. I discovered
my wife would charge me with de-
sertlon and non-support if I vhsn't
at home. And so I came back. I
didn't know that I wasn't to be ad-
mitted to the reverend’s home. I
didn't use a y abusive language. so
help me God. 1 don't swear. I didn't
even know my wife didn't want me
around. I always tried to do my
best for her."
Questioning by the court brought
out that Pryor had been employed
as a. porter at the Mahackemo hotel
up to the time. the management had
changed hands. He said that he had
worked for James Donnelly up to
Saturday night when he was fired.
“What were you fired for," asked
Judge Vosburgh.
“Because I was late as the result
of having to get my owu breakfast,"
Pryor replied.
"lVell," said the court. ”there is
one thing clear in this case. Neither
your wife nor Rev. Mr. Thomas want
you at the latter’s home. You will
'have to stay away. I will continue
the casefrom day to day." ‘
Pryor promised that: he wouldn't
visit the Thomas home any more.

PERDUE AFTER
THOSE WHO DID
NOT CLEAN UP
Splendid Response
Says Health Office,
But S o m e Failed
During Week
The "Clean Up Week" campaign
is finished. It closed Saturday night.
As a result of this campaign. hor-
walk in a. cleaner. healthier, city.
But it is still not as clean as it
might be.
Hundreds vountarlly responded to
the appeal of the Board of Health.
issued by Dr. Perdue, health oflle-
er. asking that attics cellars and
back yards be cleaned up. and waste
material carted away. This was
shown by the fact that the amount
of waste materal collected and dis-
posed of ‘by the Street Department
was twice as great as during an
ordinary week. ‘
But there are a number of resi-
dents who made no attempt to vol-
untarily clean up. It is these people
that the Board of Health intends to
get after and compel to fall in line.
"The people of Norwalk have
responded splendidly." said Dr. Per-
due this morning. "We are very
much pleased with the manner in
which the campaign was received.
and with the fine co-operation which
we enjoyed. But there are a. num-
ber of people who failed to respond
to the appeal. “'6 intend to com-
pel these people to clean up their
homes and yards. This is only fair
to those who have voulntarlly al-
ready done this."

turn under the bridge. if this is the
ease the Old Dummy." will be re-
tamed.
