Resolute Leads
Shamrock In A
Drifting Match
Defender Outjockeys the
Challenger on the
Start and Gets Away
200 Yards in the Lead
-Wind Very Light
and Fog Comes Down
Early in the Race.
In a light wind varied by
fog and thunder storms the
yachts Resolute and Shamrock
are battling for the world's
yatching trophy today. When
the fog bank which settled
down soon after the start lift
ed the Resolute, the America's
cun defender was leading the
Shamrock by half a mile hav
ing increased the lead of 200
yards she had at the start.
The race is of fifteen miles
out and fifteen miles back and
must be finished within six
hours, if it is to be a race.
The Shamrock because of her
superior spread of sail gives
the Resolute six minutes and
forty second.; in time.
At tne start the Shamrock
bungled badly being over the
line when the signal was given.
As a result she was obliged to
turn back and recross the line,
the Resolute sailing away near
ly a minute in the lead.
At 1 :30 the yachts had cov
ered only six miles of the thir
ty and unless the wind fresh
ens very much there will be
Iio race today.
At 1:45 the Resolate was
felowly increasing her lead in a
drifting match.
Resolute led Shamrock by
half a mile after 2 horrs of
sailing, when the yachts hart
covered ten miles of their 30
Inile course.
A yachting armanda gathered off
the hook today for the first America's
cup raco In 17 years.
Private craft, excursion boats and
airplanes speeding southward across
New Tork bay found nestling behind
the great sand pit two sloops that are
the pride of Britain and America
Shamrock IV, challenger, with sleek
preen sides, and Resolute, defender,
dazzling in her coat of white.
Aboard them were Captain William
P. Burton and his crew of British
tars, and Captain Charles Francis
Adams, 2nd, of Boston, with his
Tanked sailormen. White clad fig
tires gazed aloft, scanning the heav
ens for clouds that betokened winds
Xavorahle or unfavorable.
With the start set for noon from
the Ambrose Channel light vessel, the
rival skippers conversed with their
navigators regarding weather and
wind conditions which would deter
mine the course to be set them by the
race committee. They knew that the
rules called for a windward and lee
ward course of thirty miles but by the
direction of the wind alone would the
course charted.
Both skippers were hopeful of
bringing the races to a brisk and de
cisive close with three straight vic
tories but both were prepared to sail
five races and to start all over again
another day if a race was .declared
off because the yacht failed to finish
Within the six hour limit.
With the Shamrock IV, because of
her great sa.il area, giving the de
fender a handicap of seven minutes
and one second with possibly a sec
ond more or less if re-measurement of
the challenger's sails alters figures
yachtsmen still were divided on the
question of whether it was more
blessed to give than to receive time.
A ten knot breeze from the south
west and a smooth sea prevailed at
8:30 o'clock this morning.
In her almost barren hold the
Shamrock stored her mascots. They
comprise the wooden American
eagle that was on the victorious yacht
America, and boxes of four leaf clov
ers from the I'nited States and
Shamrocks from Ireland.
Sir Thomas Lipton, making his
fourth attempt to lift the bottomless
pewter mug emblem of sailing su
premacy of the sea, cast his eye to
weather and remarked:
If the wind will hold Its present
trength I will ask nothing better
ffcf my Irish challenger. The Sham
rock IV Is a fine boat and I hope
to win."
Captain Burton had his crew up
with the sun and before 6 o'clock a
boatload of sailors were on their
way from the tender Killarney to
the challenger to remove sail covers
end serd headsails up with-stops.
"My opinion is that the first hour
of today's race will tell the story of
the America's Cup contest," said the
Shaurock's skipper. "We will then
kno what each yacht can do."
Slipper Adams also had the Reso
hit s crew early astir and ready to
me sail.
We should have no complaint to
ipJce of this weather," said Captain
,Iams, "and I believe Resolute will
ve a good account of herself."
"Sir Thomas 'ship should make it
nteresting," added the American skip
per, ns he surveyed the green-bodied
Shamrock from whose towering top
mast fluttered Sir Thomas' flag.
Many spectators who occupied coigns
of vantage on the highlands to wit
ness the contest were armed with tel
escopes. OContinued on Page Bight.)

FEWER DEATHS
OF INFANTS THIS
MONTH SO FAR
The deaths of infants under 1 year
of age for the present month so far
is not very high, there having been
only ten deaths recorded at the Bu
rets h of Vital Statistics from July 1 to
date. It is the usual happening at
this time of the year for the infant
mortality rate to be very high due to
diseases incidental to the extreme hot
weather which produces fatal sick
nesses among infants.
The records of the department for
the past eight years show that there
were 49 deaths of infants under 1 year
for the month of July in 1912; 52 in
1913; 43 in 1914; 51 In 1915; only 31 in
1916; 3 in 1917; 51 in 1918, and only 25
for last year. The high mark of 1918
was explained by Health Officer rr
William H Coon as due to the epi
demic of the so-called "Spanish Influ
enza. "The outlook for the present month
is very encouraging so far," said Dr.
Coon this morning. "We have given
a lot of attention to the matter of re
ducing the infant mortality rate this
year and with only ten deaths record
ed in the first half of the month it is
Almost safe to say that the actual
deaths of the entire month for this
year will be lower than the 1918 rec
ord of 25 which is the lowest the de
partment has recorded in eight years."
Chicago, July 15 Prices started
deliveries of wheat, the first of such
prices quoted in nearly three years.
December delivery opened at $2.72 to
$2.75. Estimates by traders before
hand were that the initial figures
tvould be about $2.80.
Christensen Named
For President By
Xhe Third Party
Chicago, July 15 The Farmer
Labor party, born of a fusion of
numerous political groups today had
a platform and candidates. At -4
o'clock this morning its convention,
after an all-day and night session
chose Parley Parker Christensen, Salt
Lake City attorney, and Max S. Hayes,
Cleveland labor "leader, as its presi
dential and vice presidential nominees
respectively.
Today a group of dissatisfied dele
gates, formerly allied ith the com
mittee of 48 met and considered plac
ing their own ticket in the field under
the Forty-eight banner.
The Forty-eighters who remained
in the Farmer-Labor convention were
rewarded by seeing Christensen,
chairman of the Forty-eight conven
tion, selected to lead the fusion party,
while the labor leaders contented
themselves with the selection of their
national chairman. Hayes, for second
place
Christensen's nomination served to
weld strongly the elements remaining
in the convention. One report was
current that the dissatisfied Forty
eighters would confine their activities
today to organizing anew for a purely
educational movement.
Xot all was harmony In the fusion
convention. Heated debate developed
... . -
over the choice of a name. The
Forty-eighters carried their unsuc
cessful committee fight against the
socialistic doctrines of the radical
laborites to the floor. But the well
laid plans were nullified by labor
leaders who blocked adoption of a
platform said to be satisfactory to
Senator LaFollette. Forty-ighters
charged the fusion party was "boss
ridden by a clique."
Amidst the uproar when delegates
in every corner of the hall were olam-

BULLET SHATTERS
VALUABLE GEMS
New Tork, July 15 Three dia
monds of a $10,000 collection bought
from Tiffany & Company by Gunnel
Munn of Radnor, Pa., were found
shattered today by a .38 calibre bul
let as they lay in the box in which
they were delivered. Air. Munn
bought the gems for his wife, who is
a daughter of Deputy Police Commis
sioner Rodman Wanamaker of this
city.
A hole in the red plush case show
ed where the bullet entered. The
shattered diamonds were worth
$3,000. Police are seeking to deter
mine whether the burlet was fired into
the jewel case before or after it was
delivered.
The express company which de
liveredthe gems disowned responsi
bility in the matter, recalling that in
September, 1919, a bomb was receiv
ed at the home of Mrs. Rodman
Wanamaker, wife of the police offi
cial, from a former employe. Offi
cials of the company believe someone
had in mind the Wanamaker bomli
and fired a shot into the Jewel box

St. Swithin
Comes In
Hail, Rain
St- Swithin came, in with the wets
and with jitney trouble and a yacht
race and a few other things this
morning. For this is St. Swithin's
day and the old legend is that if it
rair.s today it will rain the next forty
days. It rained last year on St.
Swithin's day and it also rained in
termittently for eighty days.
The old legend says nothing, how
ever, about hail storms. There was a
peach of a hail storm along about 5:30
this morning and the hail stones,
which were not as large as hen's eggs,
pelted roofs and other things just as
though they were peiWes. Now if it
rains on St. Swithin's day and forty
days' rain follows, what will happen
if it hails? It is possible that we may
have twenty days of hail.
But so long as the jitney trouble
and the yacht race don't stay around
for forty days everybody will be
happy.

attempting to peer into the tents. He
was fined $50 and costs, but took an
i appeal from the decision of the court.

Suckley Tells Policemen
At Meeting Today
That the Police Com
missioners Were After
Cronan's Scalp and
They Used Him To Do
It.
Charging that the police commis
sioners were out to "get" Captain
Edward O. Cronan, of the Detective
department, and that they chose
him to do the "getting," former As
sistant Superintendent of Police
Charles H. Suckley, in a statement
made this noon to hundreds of po
lice officers who had gathered in the
City court room, declared that he
had absolutely nothing to do with
the suspension of Captain Cronan. He
further declared that the police
commisisoners took an unfair advair
tage of him In the entire matter.
The meeting was called this noon
for the purpose of holding farewell
ceremonies in honor of Supt. John
II. Redgate, Assistant Superintendent
Charles H. Suckley, Captain Edward
O. Cronan and Doorman Wilhelm
Lundberg. Shortly after 12 o'clock,
hundreds of officers had crowded
their way into the room and were
waiting for the affair to begin.
The retiring officers were summon
ed to the courtroom, and Lieutenant
Daniel Poland took charge of the
ceremonies. Accompanying each pre
sentation with an appropriate ad
dress, Lieutenant Poland presented to
John H. Redgate and Captain Ed
ward O. Cronan solid gold Knights of
Columbus charms; Charles S. Suck
ley receive a gold Elks' card case,
and Doorman Lundberg was present
ed with a gold watch fob. All of the
gifts were presented on behalf of the
entire department.
In his speech of acceptance,
former Superintendent Redgate
thanked the men for their kind re
membrance, and complimented the
department in the following words:
"Irrespective of what anyone may
say, Bridgeport has not only one of
the best, but the best police depart
ment in the country. My recent rein
statement to office was a vindication
not only of myself but of the entire
department."
The bombshell was explode! when
former Assistant Superintendent
Charles H. Suckley started his ac
ceptance speech. After thanking
the members of the department for
their action in remembering him.
Suckley branched off to the recent
Cronan affair and gave a complete
history of the case. In telling of
the circumstances, the former super
intendent did not hesitate to attack
the police commissioners for .their
actions.
"I wish to say that I had nothing
to do with the recent upheaval," em
phatically announced the former su
perintendent, "and lam going to tell
you the exact truth as to the
changes."
"The police commissioners were
out to 'get' Captain Cronan, and they
selected me to get him. But I want
you to know that I had nothing more
to do with this matter than did you
men in this room. It was unfair ad
vantage which they took of me."
"Each and every man who has
been elevated has my sincere con
gratulations. After this outburst, the meeting
proceeded in the usual manner. Cap
tain Cronan and Doorman Lundberg
thanked the men for their remem
brances but said nothing regarding
the statements of the former assist
ant superintendent.

Representatives of the
Trolley Company, the
City and the Jitney
Men Hold a Three,
Hour Conference at;
the Mayor's Office Try-1
ing to Reach An
Agreement.
The trolley cars were min-
. ning this morning- and all day
ami me jiineys and tne jitney
busses were all running on
their accustomed routes. And
there were no arrests of jit
heurs. The reason why there no ar
rests was that Mayor Wilson
had called to a conference at
his office representatives of
the trolley company, counsel
for the jitney men and repre
sentatives of the jitney men.
This conference was in pro
gress for nearly three hours
this morning and when those
who were in attendance left
the office of the mayor they
said they had nothing to give
out for publication.
The conference broke up at
two o'clock and it was an
nounced then that there was
no chance of an agreement and
that affairs would have to take
their course.
It is expected that the jitney
men will ask for an injunction
at once.
The conference, in so far as it
could be learned, had to do with the
proposition that the jitney men ac
cept some other routes than those
now used and than those named in the
ordinance passed Monday night. At
lunch time the matter did not seem
to have been decided for after th
conferees had left S.Iayor Wilson
called some of them back into his
office again for another conference.
It is believed that the mayor has
decided to call another meeting of
the board of aldermen at once to pass
another ordinance realizing that the
one passed at Monday night's meet
ing is not legal in that it was chang
ed after it was passed.
Counsel for the jitney men, it was
learned this morning had already
prepared a request for a court injunc
tion against the city preventing the
authorities from enforcing the ordi
nance on the ground of its illegality
but in view of the conference this
morning the request was not present
ed to the court.
LOCAL YACHTSMEN
ATTENDING RACE
Among the Bridgeport people who
went down to Sandy Hook today to
watch the International Tacht cup
race was Wilson Marshall of Marina
park, the well known yachtsman, who
is a close friend of Sir Thomas Lip
ton. Mr. Marshall went to the race
in his own yacht which is one of
the finest craft on the Atlantic sea
board. Some Bridgeporters may follow
the race in airplanes which intend to
follow the yachts, offering seats for
unusually high prices. The major
ity of local yachtsmen, however, will
follow the race in the newspapers..
There is quite a bit of local intenest
and the feeling prevails that America
will again win the international tro
phy. Senator George B. Clark left for
the boat races, with -a party of
friends, aboard his yacht, "Top," at
6 o'clock thismorning from the dock
at the foot of East Main street with
Captain Linstrom as the skipper of
the "Top." Senator Clark's guests
included Richard Brown, William
Shaugnessy. Richard Oppel. Dr. Phil
and Dr. William McLaughlin, Daniel
I. McN-amara. John H. Heaphy, Rob
ert E. Donnelly. Samuel B. Plotkin,
William T. Myers and Francis Bren

JITNEY ORDINANCE
Copies of the new jitney ordinance
which was recently passed by the citv
council, were placed in the hands of
Superintendent of Police Patrick
Flanagan and Prosecuting Attorney
Alexander L. DeLaney this morning.
The superintendent said today that
he had not yet looked over the new
ordinance, but expects to enforce its
provisions to the best of his ability.
This evidently means that jitneymen
who operate their cars in violation
of the new rulings will be subject to
immediate arrest.
