T V - UNITED CLOAK & SUIT MFG-. CO. 1258 MAIN STREET OPP. STRATFIELD HOTEL TWO DOORS SOUTH OP POLI'S THEATRE OPEN EVENINGS TRY FARflER "WANT ADS." New York, March 20 In a war of competition for the enormous grain carrying traffic . of Canada improve ments on a gigantic scale have been begun or are projected by; the Grand Trunk and the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroads, with New lion don as the . principal outlet on the New England seaboard. The cost of these improvements will exceed $30, 000,000. The New Haven road was first in the field with a project to deflect the commerce with which the Canadian lines are freighted from the ports of that country to New England, . and with a strong bid to divide the pas senger traffic of the New York Cen- j tral between Montreal and other Ca nadian points and this city. Proposed improvements of practically the entire system west of New London and a shorter route from this city and Con-' necticut points to .Montreal were an nounced. Now the Grand Trunk is to meet the bid of the New Haven with improve ments of the Central Vermont, its New England line, which is not equipped for handling the business which, it is anitcipated, will flow to New London with the contemplated development of that port for ocean trade. The Grand Trunk will double track the Central Vermont from New London to St. Al bans, Vt., a distance of three hundred miles, and thence its own line to Mon treal. The Grand Trunk controls the Central Vermont absolutely under a 999 year lease. - ' , , WILL SPEND $25,000,000. The New Haven's projected improve. ments involve an expenditure of more than $25,000,000. Of this v$10,000,000 will be spent in shortening and improving the. route to Montreal from this ' city and from New London, including the extension of the New York, Westchea ter and Boston road from White Plains to Danbury, Conn., ' and the double tracking and straightening of the Berkshire division. - j Almost $8,000,000 will be spent in Im provements 'in and" near New London. These include the construction of a new bridge across the Thames River, the double tracking and shortening of the route between Niantic River, nine miles west of New London, and West erly, R: I. .nineteen miles east; the elevation of the tracks t-oughi New London and the construction, of new passenger and freight stations. The official announcement of -the New Haven Toad says the route Is to be .shortened by tunneling under New London, but it Is reported that it has been decided to abandon the tunnel project and elevate the tracks along the water front. KEW STATION IN NEW HAVEN. The building of a new passenger station in New Haven, the elimination of the cut through which the present station is approached and collateral improvements will cost $6,000,000. The installation of new signal systems and minor improvements will cost $2, 000,000 more. All these improvements -will pro ceed simultaneously, and, it is expect ed, may be completed in two years. Other millions will be spent In elec trifying the main line from Stamford to New Haven, but these are not in cluded in the $25,000,000 to be de frayed in a: bid for Canadian trans shipments. The Grand Trunk will spend $5, 000,000 in double tracking and in building grain elevators in New Lon don. In a year the Grand Trunk's coast to coast road will be completed. The Canadian government is bearing one-half of the cost of building this great transcontinental line from the. Pacific coast to Winnipeg, and it has guaranteed the bonds issued to con struct the line from Winnipeg to Hali fax. Thex State of Connecticut took the initiative in the project to make New London a great ocean port by appro priating $1,000,000 for the building of piers and a grain elevator there. MORGAN IS INTERESTED. Both -the New Haven and the Grand Trunk have waterfront right3 in New London, ample for their own piers and grain elevators. The two roads are working in conjunction with the Connecticut Rivers and Harbors Com mission in the development of facili ties to attract big steamship lines. Members of the commission have been in conference with J. P. Morgan, Jr., with reference to the White Star line making New London its American port. It is known that Morgan inter ests are back of the New Haven's great projects. It is said $1 a ton can be saved on freight to New London from any , foreign port. All notions of a Grand TrunK ana New Haven agreement in New Eng land have been abandoned. The Grand Trunk was about to begin work on an extension from Palmer, Mass., to Providence, where it had obtained liberal concessions, when the project was suddenly given up, and it was an nounced that in lieu of this existence, which would have cost the Grand Trunk many millions, the New Haven would handle its traffic to Providence. The Interstate Commerce Commission has tabooed this agreement, and now it will be open competition between the two roads for all classes of traffic.

I .A feature of thig program was the beautiful concert grand piano from the Wisner warerooms in this city. This is. the first time many Bridgeporters have had the opportunity of listening to a Wissner concert grand and there is no question but that it added greatly to the success of the occasion. The deep, full, round bass register seemed to be just what the artist needed to get the most effective inter pretation of the selections rendered, while the clear, bell-like quality of tone in the upper register sustained matchless harmony throughout. MANY SPECIALS GLAD V TO SURRENDER BADGES So disinterested in retaining their official prestige are many of the spe cials now authorized as officers about the city, that without awaiting receipt of the official notice to return , their shields which is, being mailed today by Clerk Clayton L. Smith, thatthey are returning their insignia. 'It was officially announced at a re cent meeting of the Board of police commissioners that all special officers Would lose their rank -as such on April 1,: and that thereafter new appoint--ments would be made only in special cases where protection was needed in buildings. That many hold the position who are glad to be released from th re sponsibility, is evidenced by their will ingness to be relieved of their badges EALF BORN WITH TWO HEADS AND DOCliLE KPINK Meriden,March 20 A calf -with two heads and" a double spine was born on the farm of A.

Even then the government supervision will not end, for each patient will be care fully watched by physicians of the marine hospital corps, and they will make reports long after the popular excitement raised by the treatment of Dr. Friedmann. has ended. Even if they move to other towns this super vision will be kept up, for the gov ernment desires to ascertain the after effects of the treatment. At the close of hie recent treatment in Bellevue hospital Dr. Friedmann received an ovation in marked contrast with the reception accorded to him on his ar rival in New York. All eleven cases were treated in the operating amphi theatre of Belleveue. It was witnege ed by more than 150 doctors, nurses, attendants and the staff of the hos pital. Dr. James Alexander Miller, di rector of tuberculosis service at Bel levue, acted as master of ceremonies and read out the history of each case as the patient was wheeled' in on an operating table. Among those who watched Dr. Friedmann inject the vaccine were Dr. John W. Brannan, medical director of Bellevue; Dr., Leo pold Stern, Drs. Anderson and Stlm son of the government service, who are superintending the tests; Dr. Ser ratt, of the Italian navy; Dr. H. M. Kellogg, city physician of Milwaukee; Dr. Lowry of Hastings, N. D.; Dr. Hannock of Albany; Dr. Frank May, Dr. Donnell of Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. N. Mykleetead of Williston, N. D.; Dr. Millett of Et Bridgewater. Mass.; Dr. Btubbert of Lskewood : Brundage of Brooklyn; Dr. Lri Dr. Knopf, Dr. Grieve of New y, co and Dr. George F. O'Hanlor. . ' Bellevue. Dr. Friedmann wm ac companied by his brother, Dr. Arthur Friedmann. The patients war wheel ed in all ready for the injection. Dr. Miller read the history of each as it appeared, and a nurse thraw back the blanket covering th patiwnr. In each case the injection wmm mad in the left hip. . The dos for each patient -was from five to eight drop of the vaccine. Dr. Friedmann ponf ed the hip with an antiseptic fluid and as soon as the injection was made Dr. Arthur Friedmann sponged the puncture with more of the fluid. There were ten male patients and on female. They ranged in age from six teen to fifty years. The cases treated ranged from inclpiency to th thir stage.
