NEW PLAN TO RELIEVE FREIGHT SITUATION IN CONNECTICUT IS EXPECTED TO WORK SUCCESSFULLY Hartford, i Oct 81--A scheme that promises to do much toward relieving the freight situation in Connecticut Is to is tried out, soon by the Trans ' . portation Committee of the Connecti cut State Council of Defense, with which JR. B. Stoeckel, State pommls ioner of Motor Vehicles Is co-operating. The plan calls for the use of '.f motor trucks in carrying what are - called "back loads." or load on re turn trips when trucks ordinarily i travel 'empty. For , example, trucks are now being used to carry freight from New Britain to Hartford for New Britain concerns, returning each . time empty. Under the new plan freight held in Harfford for delivery in New Britain which the railroad Is ' unable to .transport would be carried to New , Britain by these ' trucks ori their ' return trips. The owners of the trucks would be compensated by the shippers for whom the deliveries would be made. . t, The project : will not only relieve LuiisD3Liuit vu iuo njiroms ana put more railroad facilities at the dis posal of the government but would v make the motor truck service of the truck, owners more efficient. The .plan also calls for the general utlliza , Uon of trucks which are Idle part of , each day or week. There are 11,500 motor 'trucks In the state according to registration flg nres,on file in the office of the Com missioner of Motor Vehicles, and in order to reach all the owners of these cars, Commissioner Stoeckel has sent to each truck owner In Connecticut a return post card asking him If he Is willing to co-operate in making the v plan successful. The appeal is head- ed by the legend "Connecticut, Must Have More Transportation Facilities." IMMEDIATE AID NEEDED F0R 20,000 FATHERLESS SYRIAN REFUGEES IN THE CAUCASUS , Desperate Conditions of Armenians and Syrians Driven " From Homes by the, Turks Described by the Rev P W. Macallum of Foreign Mission Bord. tfew York, Oct 30--Twenty thous and fatherless children of Armenian and Syrian refugees in the Caucasus are la need of immediate aid to save them from demoralization and starva- . Uon. It was declared '.here' today by the Rev. F. W. Macallum.' missionary In Turkey for the American Board of Commissioners for . Foreign Missions, Just returned front relief work at Tif lis "and "vicinity. In the Caucasus', which he described as mountainous with severe winters, he said, there are 300,000 Armenian and Syrian refugees from Turkey, mostly women and chil dren, as the men were massacred - by the Turks! , "The Turks made three drives '-against Russia, which brought Into the Caucasus, which is Russian, large . numbers of refugees," Irs said. "In 1914 more than 60,000 Armenians fled before the1 Turkish advance. The next year 20,000 more migrated. . "The third drive is known as the Alashgert campaign of Ally, 1916. The "Armenians of the district of Alash gert In Turkey were by It compelled to flee to the Caucasus. . It also caused the evacuation of the city of Van by the Russians, This city had been defended in 'April and May by the Armenian population against a strong Turkish army. Russian aid had ar rived Just In time to save it and the ( Turks ran away, but when 'the Rus- ' slant heard of the Turkish advance to ward .Alashgert, fearing their line of retreat might be cut off, they evacuat ed Van and retreated to the Caucasus, , taking with them all the Armenians and Syrians there. . . "This was by far the largest Influx of refugees. They were attacked by Kurds on the way and 7,000 were killed.. Aout 20,000 died of cholera, -typhoid and typhus after reaching Russia. ' The total number of refu gees from Van and vicinity was about $00,000, In these ways some SOO.0OC eopts came to the Caucasus In great destitution, after losing large numbers, especially of men, and all their pos sessions. "- "Relief, work ' by the American Committee for Armenian and. Syrian' Relief began In January,' HI t, and is still going on and growing In extent and importance. The Russian gov ernment has helped the refugees gen erously; having given them up to the present 'nearly 610,000,00- This sup plied them with food, paid their rent . and made it possible to provide for 6, 000 orphans, but owing to the financial difficulties of the government this aid Is now cut off, 1 "The American committee has giv en clothfag and-bedding to 60,000 of the most needy refugees and has also provided large quantities of tea, u sar, kerosene and fuel where most nestled. During the summer of 1916, (he work of repatriation was under 26fh . $2.98 j It continues: 1 .-' i "Are your trucks carrying v back, loads? ..If not, we can provide them. Are they ever idle If so we can find employment for them. Are they 100 per cent efficient? If not we can make them so. .This means profit to you, helps relieve freight congestion and speeds up transportation. 1 .'. "You can 'do your bit', render Im portant service, improve your business methods, take over short hauls which the railroads cannot handle, prevent delays and help win the war." : The return section of the card con tains space for information as to tha number and capacity of trucks owned by the person to whom it is addessed and asks the following questions: "Will ' you carry 'back loads' for a reasonable compensation? Will you rent your truck at full or" part ca paeity?- How many hours, or days a week, can your trucks be had for this planv Have you any established de livery routes?" i Some details of the plan have yet to be arranged. It will be necessary to establish a . number of agencies which will act as connecting links be tween shippers and truck owners so that the latter can be directed from time to time " to the placed where freight is awaiting their trucks.. Two organizations plans are now being considered: (1) To have the bureaus that will be established in various cities and .towns to act as clearing houses organized by the shippers themselves. (2) To have the bu reaus organized as sub-committees of the Council of Defense. It is possible that a combination of the two plans will be worked outbut no tdecision has -et been reached In regard to this phase of the project. ;f taken andjhundreds of farmers were returned to their homes in the prov ince of Van and supplied with oxen. accu ana so rorth. This most promising work, however, was inter rupted by the evacuation of that re gion by the Russians In August, 1916 and the cnmmitt.. ,. u., ' . - r ueiuuea in at the time for repatriation on a large IU u omy aner final victory over the Turks has been won. Among the refugees are compara tively few men as more of them than of women and children fell in the massacre. As a result there are in the Caucasus today 20,000 fatherless children In need of immediate aid. Of these the American committee is al ready helping 5,000 by giving them a small monthly grant for food in their homes. . . "Fifteen thousand more appeal for similar help but no funds are available at present The committee is now organizing an orphanage for 300 boys in Brivan. Boys of good Intelligence and sound physique will be taken in with a view to quick training in trades, farming and education. These boys will be prepared to act as leaders along these lines and fitted to take the place, f the artisans, industrial leaders and teachers who were kill ed. ... v "Of the 300,000" refugees in the Cau casus and the conquered provinces of Turkey, 260,000 are without employ ment and dependent on charitv. Th committee has begun work in spinning and Weaving, giving employment to about 4,000, mostly women and girls. The moral effects of work are very uuutcuuie. ine me or a rerugee with nothing to do but stretch out his hand for charity is extremely demoralizing and discouraging" Many of the women to whom the committee is giv ing work come on foot from places as distant as 10 to 13 miles and say what they value most is not the money they-earn but the mental and spiritual relief employment brings them. . . .. "Great gratitude Is expressed for the aid sent from America. It seems to them' vary wonderful that a country so far away and so entirely without any political aspirations in those re gions should make strch ' large, contri butions to relieve their sufferings. The prestige -of America has been enor mously increased by this disinterested philanthropy. "The American committee has at no time taken up the question of the political future of Armenia, but if the statesmen who have to deal with this question after the war secure for the Armenians and Syrians and other small nations such a degree of liberty as.will insure safety to life, honor and property, they will have done no more than simple Justlcepmands." With unbounded enthusiasm Twelfth district Democratic workers and citizens gave William P. Kirk, candidate for mayor, a rousing recep tion at the Athletic Club on Sixth street last eVening." The candidate spoke "for about a half hour, driving home one telling truth after another, as he exposed the inefficiency of the present admin istration and' gave his reasons for be lieving a change was necessary and that It was coming. "Victory is in the air," he said," with great emphasis,' and he was cheered heartily. ' . - The particular point he emphasized was the burdensome ' load . of debt which had been placed upon the backs of the Bridgeport people, and how deeply this affected each and every rent ppjer. "Don't thir that because you pay only rent, and do not pay taxes that the Increased expenditure of public money does not cost yoir anything," he said. "If the landlord's taxes ara raised he passes the increase along to you. ' You can't pass It along, so ym must pay it. If you move, the land lord will charge the new tenant more than' he did you." - The effect was very telling when ths candidate drew a picture of how Bridgeport homes are being ' turned into rooming houses by high rents. "Where is the homelife, with roomers and boarders in the home?" he ask ed. .. - , .." ' Among fhe other speakers at the meeting were Town Chairman Lavery, George F. Mara, Garry Paddock, Livermore, candidate for alderman, and Owen Burns, who presided.. Mr. Paddock said "It Is a long time since I have been in the political game but I a . mdolng all I can for William P.. Kirk, who I know well enough to odll 'Bill.' . . , Mr. Lavery in speaking of the legis lative committee that reported favor ably on the bill taking he power of approval of bond issues from the peo ple of Bridgeport, said: ,, "'And it Is a significant fact that not one of-the gentlemen on this committee was a Bridgeport , man, or would ever have to pay a dollar of the expenses for which t!:.ose bonds, have been is sued." , . For the first time in many years the Depocrats of the Twelfth district are putting up 'a united iront against me THREE RECORDS OF MAJORS MADE IN PAST SEASON Sisler, E.

Stengel of the Super bas, right fielder, coming through and tying previous high water marks made by Stuffy Mclnnis, Larry Doyle, Frank Sehulte, Mike Mitchell, Harry Hooper and Dan Moeller. The record of Mc lnnis undoubtedly would have gone by the boards if the Ty Cobb of Fielder Jones' team had been able to do as Eddie Collins did avoid injury arid take part in all- the games played by his club. During 1917 Jim Shaw of the Sen ators showed the way to pitch in putting' duplex killings in motion and his catcher Eddie Ainsmith led the backstops. First basemen, second basemen and right " fielders, as pre viously related, had the pace set for them by George Sisler of the Browns, Eddie Collins of the White Sox and Charley Stengel of the Superbas.

One of the significant things about last night's meeting was the presence of representatives ot both factions, in the same room, and both enthusiastic over supporting the same candidate for mayor. There were Garry Paddock, Wil liam' Callan, Frank Anderson, James Hennlgan. James Donnelly, William McKenna and Samuel Grinrod. all thinking as one 'man for the success of the ticket. From now on the former opposing I factions will be one organization wth I headquarters in the Athletic club." The j district workers are Very much pleas- I ed with the candidate for mayor and i with the platform upon which he is running. That Mr. Kirk Is a business man, that he has never forgotten the time when he was a working man, that, he has always treated labor with the utmost fairness since he became an employer -are things that xount greatly in this district where so great a percentage of the voters are men who work In the factories. The substitution of a district com mittee for a one man leadership is another thing' that has pleased the workers a great deal. In such a huge district as this is, a committee of five roen seems more fitting than a single, individual head. The committee of f ivve . comprises some of the best known and most , active party men in the district: Peter Umstatters Frank Anderson, William Callan, Herbert Finch, and Peter Clark, jr. - This is the only district in Bridge port that has ever sent a socialist over to the city hall, and the social ists this year are anticipating a heavy vote, up to a week ago, but the tide has been turning. The socialist can didate has been losing votes dally as the Democratic workers made their personal appeals to voters and show to the voters how their' votes can count best for the city by voting the Democratic ticket Friday evening there will be a rally of the Twelfth district In the' first precinct at which George F. Mara will preside. Weather permitting the rally will be an open-air gathering at Barnum and Seavlew avenues. - At the Walnut club, South and Myr tle avenues," this evening candidates on the Democratic ticket will address a rally , of the First and Second dis trict Democrats. This will be the first speech of the campaign to be delivered in the South End by Mr. Kirk since he campaign began. Bodle of the Athletics, and the center fielder was Max Carey of the Pirates.. New York's two shortstops Arthur Fletcher of the Giants and Roger Peckinpaugh of the Yankees started more double plays than anyone else, tying at forty-two. Maranville Starts Fifty-eight That is far from being a major league record. Rat bit Maranville of the Braves inaugurated fifty-eight two-ply killings in 1914, other records superior tp the dual Fletcher-Peckin-paugh performance being fifty, by. Charley Herzog of the Reds 'in 1915; forty-seven by Johnny Lavan of the Browns the same year and forty-five by Rabbit Maranville of the Braves In 19 It. Fletcher uses a freak glove in fielding, which is made for him. by the Draper Maynard people of Ply mouth, N.' H. Whether said freak glove had anything to do with Ar thur's success In starting double plays last season deponent knoweth not. The greatest number of double plays ever made in a nine inning game is five, the record being equalled by the Phillies against Boston ou April 19 last , season In a contest which they lost by a score of 7 to 3. Left'Handers Rixey and Fittery were the Quaker gunners in this contro versy. , The Cardinals,' behind the hurling, of Right Handers Meadows and Ames, on August 13 uncovered five 'double plays against the Reds, but they had twelve frames In which to produce them, St. Louis won this game, 6 to 6, . . Unassisted Idouble plays were of course, made, by first, second and third .basemen and 'by shertstops last season and ty pitchers, catchers and outfielders as well, The boxman who made a two-ply killing without aid was Noyes of the Athletics. In the fourth Inning on July 26 Young and Hellman of Detroit attempted to pull the squeeze. Pep bunted a pop "by to Noyes, who dashed over to third and doubled the Soldier Boy. Stay Schalk of the Whote Sox, on July SI against Boston, and Steve O'Neill of the ' In of the ; White Sox on ' July 81 against Washington, made double plays with out 'aid, the formula being the same' a man trying to steal home just as , the fcatter -whiffed. The suburbanites who figured in unassisted 'double plays both were Braves. -" George TwoirAley turned the trick on April 24 against the Giants and Eddie Fits patrick duplicated it against the earns combination on June 26, They made these unassisted double plays from the righe pasture. Outfielders who set three ' double plays in motion in games last year were Shortstop Larry Kopf of the Reds, against Philadelphia, on June 17 and. against Pittsburgh on June 26; Shortstop 'Ray Chapman of the Indians against St. Louis on June 25; Third Baseman Oscar Vitt of the Ti gers, against Boston on August 10: Second Baseman Bill Wambganss of the Indians, against Chicago on Aug. 15, and Shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh of the Yankese, against Chicago on September 29.

ANNIVERSARY OF WEIR'S FIRST IMPORTANT BATTLE Thirty-one years ago tonight Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, fought his first important bout in America, and commenced the ring career that even tually made him the featherweight champion of the world. The Irish lad, after taking part in a number of ama teur bouts in his native land, sailed for America and landed in Boston early In 1886, A' He was only eighteen years old, had none of the earmarks of a fight er and the Boston promoters didn't look upon him with any great enthu siasm, He tried for a long time to get a match, .but .the "boxing club managers "shooed" him away. Ike, however, continued to "pester" the managers until finally, more to get rid of him than anything else, he' was given a chance to fight Jim Fuhry, the match being staged on Oct. 2, 1M, -' ' Fuhry was a fairly good boxer, and he was expected to just play with the little Irishman, Things turned out differently, however, and Weir had the best of the argument and in the fifth chapter sent Fuhry sprawling tp the floor for the count. The Belfast Boy's stock took an immediate jump, and he - was matched with : Martin Burns, and defeated him after six grilling rounds. Wir then went ahead and cleaned up all the talent of his class In Boston and then went to Hoboken, N. J., to take on Jack Far rell, a New Yorker of near-championship calibre. ' The bout . was with -skin-tight gloves, and was pulled off in secret to avoid the unwelcome attention of the authorities. Weir knocked out Farrell In the seventh round and cleaned up $500, this being the first "big money" he had ever received in the fighting game, and it made him 1 all the more eager to fight. Villie Clarke of Philadelphia was then look ed upon as a topnotehr among the little men and Weir tira matched to fight him " in Hoboken. Clarke was game and clever aifd stuck it out until the twenty-first round, when his handlers had to throw up the sponge. ARMED GUARDS FOR RUSSIAN RAILROADS Petrograd, Oct. SI.

Ripley, Santa Fe Head, Begins His v 73rd Year Today Edward Peyson Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway system, and undisputed ruler over "more than 10,000 miles of steel, was born in Dorchester, Mass., Oct. 30, 1845, and will begin his seventy third year ,tOday, Mr. Ripley is of the opinion that sooner or later the government will take over all the railroads in the United States, "be cause,", he says, '"the legislatures hamper the railroads 'and cut their profits, and labor unions take what i.-j' left." At the same time he be lieve that government ownership will fail. He has declared that ' most of the government owned public utilities are failures, and has pointed out the Fanaml Canal as an example. This, he declares, could have been built by private enterprise at much less cost. However, it should be remembered that Mr. Ripley is more or less of a pessimist. Despite this he is one of the most efficient railroaders . that America- has ever - produced. Mr. Ripley began his railway service as a clerk in the Pennsylvania railway of fices in Boston forty-eight years ago. Four years later he was made New England agent of the C. B. & Q., and later became' the, general eastern agent, and finally the general man" age,r of that railway. He left the service of the Burlington in 1880 to become third vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee &" St. Paul, and on the first day of 1896 he occupied the president's chair of the Santa Fe. In that capacity he has made a repu tation as one of. America's ablest railway executives. He has helped to make the Santa Fe a great system, but declares that there is still much to be done , in America in the way of railroad development.
