LOCAL INVESTORS
HAVE THOUSANDS
IN REALTY CO.
Bridgeport today holds many thou
sand dollars' wortn of the Monaton
Realty Company's "cumulative profit
sharing certificates." The investiga
tion of the company's business meth
ods by District Attorney Whitman, in
New York city, at the request of the
State Insurance Commissioner, has
brought out the fact that large offices
were maintained both here and in
Hartford.
It is known that in Hartford over
$50,000 was invested In these stocks,
bonds and certificates and the local
manager in Bridgeport today eaid that
though the amount held here will not
quite equal that of the original home
office in Hartford it would run close to
the Hartford figures.
Although the sale of profit sharing
frtifleates ha gone on under the New
York laws, and there are many com-
L'.ixintd wmch 'are being Investigated in
that state, it is denied in Bridgeport
tuat one certificate has been sold in
Connecticut since the state officials
held up the transactions of the Mutual
Profit Company in April or tms year,
which case is now being contested In
the courts. ,"
Joseph DeCody, local manager for
i i t v O
xne company, in nis 1,1 v...
curitv building, today said that he had
come to this city in April, replacing
Manager J. TT. Sammis. He WM in
structed not to sell any of the profit
sharing certificates and claims" that he
has lived up to the Inunction placed
upon him.
TY!AT. INVESTOR'S 2.
The certificate in question Is sold
similar to an endowment life Insur
ance policy. It is based upon the
"ownership of income producing New
York city properties, and is alleged
to pay 6 per cent, interest. These
certificates may be rurcnasea in
$500 and $1,000 values. . Payments
can be made monthly, quarterly, semi
annually or annually and draws In
terest yearly.
It Is alleged by the authorities that
this certificate' should come under the
insurance laws, and that it is prob
ably illegal. President Pierre M.
Tooker, denies this is so and in a
published statement courts Investiga
tion.
The local manager has received no
information other than that which- he
has read in the newspapers and which
was today conveyed to im by the
Dormer.

JOHNSON MAKES REPLY
TO J. F. GUNSHANNAN
In an Interview on the allegations
y former State Tuberculosis Commis
sioner John F. Gnnahannan, Superin
tendent Fred R. Johnson of the De
partment of Charities made the fol
lowing replies to questions this morn
ing: '
Conditions In Bridgeport in some re
spects are worse than represented by
Mr. Gunahannan. Instead of only
100' lives a year being needlessly lost
because of tuberculosis, the figures
are 203, 153 and 1M for the last three
years. We have at least 600 persons
in the city actively tubercular. Yet
the records of the Health Department
show only 174 cases reported by phy
sicians last year demonstrating con
clusively that a large number of our
medical men are violating the law In
not reporting such cases as required
by statute. . The Charity Department
has frequently sent patients to the
sanatorium at Shelton when the. his
tory shows three, four and even five
physicians have been interested, and
where the disease has been so far
advanced that a correct diagnosis
must have been made, and yet search
of the Health Department records
has failed to reveal a report.
Justice requires that a word should
be said about the work of the Visit
ing Nurses' Association. This or
ganization maintains a free tubercu
losis clinic. It also employs three
nurses who go into the homes of the
poor. If the somewhat hysterical
woman who was quoted at such length
by Mr. Gunshannan had been familiar
with Bridgeport conditions she would
have learned that the Visiting Nurses'
Association would have beea glad to
have had one of their nurses visit the
patient in the home. This Associa
tion is doing a splendid work at pres
ent in caring for tubercular cases
about the city.
Social workers in the city welcome
Mr. Gunshannan's efforts to make lo
cal anti-tuberculosis work more effec
tive. They are so vitally interested
in the matter that they very much
hope that the propaganda will be bas
ed on fact rather than fiction. There
is ample material tor a sound basis
for such a campaign.
MAYOR AND HIS
COUNCIL COMMITTEES
Mayor Wilson is making up the list
of committees of the Common Coun
cil and though he has said that he
will not announce the lists until he
first submits them to the members of
the council he is said to have deter
mined that no Democrats will be
named as chairmen. All the Republi
can aldermen have been asked to sub
mit to Mayor Wilson their preference
for committees.

. Our store has been one stream of eager buyers and you have but a FEW MORE DAYS to avail yourself of a .GOLDEN OPPOR
TUNITY. Every article in our store is on sale and every article has been reduced.
We are determined to quit business. The short road to such a success lies in the POWER OP LOW PRICES and in order to do
this we have inaugurated the greatest sale ever known in the State of Connecticut., Never before has a sale of this kind been put on; never
have such prices been set forth; perhaps never again and no man of good intelligence can afford to overlook an opportunity of this kind to
clothe himself at prices less than cost to manufacture.
All goods placed on the "MUST GO LIST." This is no fake or money-raising scheme, but a bonafide GOING-OUT-OF-BUSI-NESS
SALE. A glance at the facts and figures will show, better than words, that never was more seasonable up-to-date merchandise sacri
ficed at such unheard of LOW PRICES. We have made a plain statement but it means much to you.

American Public Is Entitled
to Greater Degree of

By EDGAR E. .CLARK, Chairman of the

AN" ideal transportation situation can be attained only by large
APDITIONS TO THE FACILITIES AND GBEAT IM
PROVEMENT JN- METHODS.
' The added facilities can be secured only through expenditures from
surplus earnings or from expansion of credit. In "either way the total
COST to trarchaserg of transportation WOULD-BE INCREASED.
Even if it be true' that the" present financial condition of transporta
tion agencies is due to reckless, improvident or even dishonest financ
ing in the past it would be a M1STAJSK TO UJNDiSK'i'AiUii iu
CORRECT IT BY A POLICY OF REPRISAL which would im
pair the usefulness or efficiency of the carriers upon which the welfare
the very life of the commerce ot tne country depends
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE TRAVELING PUBLIC IS JUSTLY
ENTITLED TO A GREATER DEGREE OF SAFETY WHILE PATRON
1ZING OUR RAILROADS. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SHOULD BE
BROUGHT FORCEFULLY- TO THE MIND OF- EVERY- RAILROAD OF
FICIAL AND EVERY RAILROAD EMPLOYEE. THEY "SHOULD BE
HELD TO 8TRICT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR NEGLECT. IT WOULD
BE WELL TO REVIVE AND ENFORCE THE OLD FUNUDAMENTAL
