said the financier.
In closing his address the Bridge
port manufacturer said: "If we can't
get served from the trolley company
then the common council should pass
ordinances making jitney better and
the service better and we can get ser
vice from them."
While Mr. Tashar's statements were
taken by many to mean that he advo
cated the doing away with jltnev
service by competition with good trol
ley service at the five-cent fare, it was
said to be because of his desire to im
prove traffic conditions in the city.

it is clear that unless the substantial
relief is given through legislative ac
tion tho company must go Into a
receiver's hands with immediate
abandonment of operation, and re
moval of tracks and sale of over 8 5
miles of track which does not pay
its own expense to be quickly follow
ed by immediate abandonment of over
100 miles additional which do not pay
operating expenses and taxes. Such
an abandonment would effect Sta.m
ford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, Shelton,
Derby, Ansonia, New Haven, Wall
ingford, New Britain, Manchester
and Rockville and would cause de
preciation in property values along
185 miles of railway and contiguous
territory served by the company. The
Connecticut Co. pays no dividends
and cannot earn enough to pay in
terest or principal on . $7,098,000
worth of bonds. Since 1910 the New
Haven Railroad Co. has assumed
payments and interest on bonds and
the Connecticut Co. has given its
notes to cover such payments. Only
thrpugh assumption of these pay
ments by the New Haven Co. has the
Connecticut- Co. been ' able to take
enough money from its gross revenue
to pay for additional cars, tracks, car
house improvements, etc., since 1910.
The evidence shows a very moder
ate salary list. The percentage of
overhead to expenses and of overhead
to revenue is smaller than In many
other companies with which compar
ison vas made. In the past five years
the company has given careful atten
tion to tho best modern means o
economical operation.
Officers of the company ask relief;
from the burden of street paving;
from payments of building bridiges;
regulation of jitney competition;,
abatement of taxes accrued' and fu
ture tax reduction the right to aban
don non-paying lines; permission to
operate motor vehicles.
Samuel C. Shaw of this city dissents
from the report of the majority of the
commission, to the extent that he be
lieves the assessment for bridges
should not be entirely removed, but
should, like the taxes, be extended as
a credit for two years.
Mr. Shaw observes that either the
Connecticut Company will get on its
feet, or will not. If it does not. get
on its feet, he sees no reason why the
state should lose the bridge assess
ments, as a preferred debt against
the property. Mr. Shaw is especially
convinced that the assessment of
$300,000 for the bridg between Strat
ford and Milford should be charged
to the company, with relief from pay
ment for the period of two years.

-After working throughout the night
divers had recovered but four bodies,
and some officials expressed the be
lief that , not more than one or two
others had lost their lives. While be
tween fifteen and twenty persons
were known to be missing, these offi
cials said they felt confident that most
of them would be located later in the
day. Others, however, fear that
many of the missing were drowned
and their bodies washed down stream.
Plant officials said it virtually would
be impossible to check up the list
of victims as the estimates of the
number on the bridge varied. The
actual death toll, they added, may
never be known. It is believed that
most of the drowned were employes
at the yard.
CHICAGO VOTES
FOLLOWING MOST
BITTER CAMPAIGN
. Chicago, April 1. Men and women
(balloted for mayor and other city of
ficers today after a campaign said to
have been the most bitter in the his
tory of the municipality. With six
candidates in the field for mayor,
partisan, religious and racial hatreds
flamed high during the campaign,
which ended last night with riotous
scenes in the central districts which
extra, police details had difficulty it
controlling at times.
The vote of the Independents is
generaly conceded to be the deciding
faotor in the balloting, and there is
no means of knowing, politicians say,
to Just which candidate it will go.
ANOTHER GYPSY
IS SENTENCED
Mary Gautch, another Gypsy swind
ler, appeared before the City Coiin
this morning charged with stealing
$20 from the pocket of Naeto Gentile
of 54 Center street. Gentile visited
the "Phrenologist" at 1821 Main street
for the purpose of having his fortune
told. While examining his bumps, the
c;ypsy allowed her hands to stray into
the pockets of her customer from
which she extracted his roll.
Judge Wilder fined the woman $1
and costs and sentenced her to 15
days in jail. The Gyspy appealed the
case and was released under $150
bonds.
Another one of the tribe at the
same phrenologist's stand succeeded
in swindling Michael Zarrill of 1091
Madison avenue out of $440. The
fortune teller told Zarrilli that she
could cure his wife of tuberculosis
from which she was suffering. Upon
the payment of the $440 Zarrilli was
presented with a cloth pad in which
was supposed to be mysterious charms
such as lizard's hearts, snake teeth
and turkey tongues. He was instruct
ed to apply the pad to the chest of his
wife at regular intervals and to return
for a fresh pad in three weeks. The
chari.i did not work and Zarrilli has
enlisted the aid of the police to re
cover his money.
CONTINUE ASSACIT.
On complaint of Charles H. Barnes
of 240 Washington avenue, John
Breen, 53 Trumbull Road, was arrest

quarrel between the two men oc
curred at the Carpenters' Union head

According to the complaint, Barnes
was a member of a committee charg
ed with the investigation of complaints
against Breen in which it was alleged
that the latter had worked under non
union conditions. Breen denied the
charge and Barnes is alleged to have
called him a liar. Then the fight be
gan. The case was continued in the city

MOTHER'S HEART,
BEATING WITH JOY,
STOPS FOREVER
Mrs. Amelia Podbeliskie, of 192
Railroad avenue, was so overjoyed
at the sight of her son 7'eter, who
had just returned from France,
where he had seen much service
with the Yankee forces, that her
heart could not stand the excite
ment, according to Medical Exam
iner Garlick, who saws her death
was due to heart failure caused by
excessive joy.
Peter had been in the army
since December 13, 1917, and was
mustered out at Camp Upton last
Saturday. During his service he
had participated in famous bat
tles. He came to Bridegport yes
terday. At the sight of him his
mother fainted and died in a few
minutes. She is survived by nine

End of War Put
Crimp in Business
of This Restaurant
The sudden end of the war bcora
was given as an excuse today for the
failure of G'us Catheris to -pay a bill
for groceries furnished him by the
Maurice Solo-way Co. The latter con
cern sued Catheris for $813.61, and the
trial of the suit was started today be
fore Judge Booth and a jury in the
Common Pleas court.
It is aliased by the Soloway Co.
that the goods were furnished under
the belief that as the Catheris res
taurant was located on Brewster
street near the Bullard Engineering
Co. plant, that business would be
brisk. The signing of ithe armistice,
however, caused a sudden slump in
the restaurant trade in that 'vicinity.
The trial was recumed this afternoon.
