MR. STORKS AND
lf R. STORRS of the Connecticut Company explained the
iVJL six, eight, ten and 12 cent fare to the Chamber of
Commerce, yesterday, admitting, however, that he regarded
:he five cent fare proposal of the Lashar commission as a prac
tical plan, provided the city had taken the necessary steps to
carry out the plan.
Storrs wasn't very happy over the admission, in fact it was
wrung from him by the close questioning to which he was sub
mitted. Storrs doesn't want the Bridgeport lines separated from
the dead wood in the Connecticut Company. He doesn't want
the lines separately operated here.
The proof of his position is simple. The Connecticut lines
are in ward of the United States Circuit court. The Lashar
plan requires the city attorney to go before the Circuit court,
to ask the court to modify its decree, respecting the Connecticut
Company, so that the Bridgeport lines may for a period be se
parated in their operation, their accounting and their fares
from the other parts of the system.
Mr. Storrs absolutely declined to join his company with
the city in a request for a modification of the decree.
Nevertheless Mr. Storrs as a reasoning man, was oblig
ed to admit that the Lashar plan is practical, if the city will
carry it out, and did make the admission, though reluctantly.
The question which the people of Bridgeport are to ask, is
this question:
Why hasn't the city proceeded under the Lashar plan, to
get a three and five minute service and five cent fares.
Mr. Storrs, rxS the head of the Connecticut Company, and
.i AJaan vib.o doesn't want the Lashar experiment tried, as a
nan who doesn't want the Connecticut system cut up into
larts, may know why the city administration prevents five
ent fares, and brings in six, eight, ten and twelve cent fares,
hit he didn't tell. This is unfortunate. It would be interest
ng to know why the administration, since March 3, 1919, has
ugeonholed the Lashar recommendations and the five cent
are.
It will not be forgotten in this connection that one of the
maxims of the administration, as expressed by its chief lead
er, is that money will be made by any means that do not put a
man in jail.
THE CASE
HEN THE Graphophone strike was in process, an un
fortunate and badly managed affair, certain facts
were alleged against Sam Lavit, leader of the strike, by per
sons who had the right to have their testimony received.
Some of these persons produced an I. W. W. due book,
made out to Lavit. The book had the appearance of authenti
city, seemed entirely regular, and The Times printed it for
what it appeared to prove.
Later, within a few days, it was established that the I. W.
W. card was genuine, but that Lavits name attached to it, had
been forged. The facts which proved the forgery were imme
diately and willingly printed in The Times. '
No honorable newspaper will, and no honorable man ought
to desire to maintain an injurious falsehood about any man.
whether the humblest or the greatest, a labor leader, or the
President of the United States.
This was not the only injustice to Lavit into which the
newspapers were betrayed upon the false statements of men
who appeared to be honorable and responsible.
In order to end the strike Mayor Wilson brougr.r Iavit by
force to his office in City Hall, and there subjected him to a
threat of arrest, under a framed accusation of the vilest sort.
From City Hall the news was conveyed to The Times that
Lavit must leave town within 24 hours, and The Times printed
that, upon the faith of the city government.
Lavit did not leave town within 24 hours. He did not leave
town at all.
He is now in town, and daily speaks before the factories of
Bridgeport to thousands of workers in all parties. He is sur
rounded by police. Usually there are stenographers present.
Under these conditions Lavit describes Mayor Wilson in
terms which no self respecting man would endure; speaks of
him in language that must scorch Cliff Wilson to his soul, and
Cliff Wilson stands it and must stand it.
Probably the whole history of official life in Connecticut
shows no official action more dastardly, more deliberately vio
lative of the principles of justice which are safeguarded in the
American constitution, than the assult upon the honor and the
jiberty of Sam Lavit committed by the mayor of Bridgeport,
for no better reason probably, than that he supposed he could
,;ain himself a few votes. .
- Lavit formed the American Labor party. This party, out
of sheer resentment of the infamy of the city government, join
ed the Fusion and the Democratic party, in nominating Allen
E. Vincent, not to promote the principles of the party, but to
meet an emergency, and to join with other decent people in
cleaning up a dirty mess.
Lavit is a sick man. He is in an advanced stage of tuber
culosis. He has a wife and a little baby. Tdiose who have seen
him know he has not long to live. Those who did not sympa

"In order to interfere as little as

consignees. For the last two weeks

shall accumulate a necessary reserve
of coal when it is not already on
hand, purchasing such coal if possible
and otherwise holding coal in transit.
The praciice thus resorted to is a i
practice which railroads have always
employed in emergencies whether un

been recognized as indispensib'.e to :

"In holding such coal, exemptions
will be made as far as possible of

GREATLY STIRRED
OVER DECISION
Paris, Oct. SO Rumors received
here that the American government
had refused to accept the latest pro
ject put forward by Foreign Minister
Tittoni for the settlement of the
Flume question caused a display of
deep emotion in Italian conference
circles In Paris.
Although no official confirmation of
the rumor has been received, the
Italian delegates generally feel that
the information is correct and the
delegates are showing great disap
pointment. While the heads of the
Italian mission maintain their courte
ous, diplomatic manner, lesser mem
bers of the delegation are outspoken,
saying the decision would prolong in
definitely the perplexities and anxie
ties now facing the Italian govern
ment. It appears to be the general feeling
in Italian circles that Italy has reach-
ed the extreme limit of possible con-
cessions and will stana on her present
position, it is said Italy's position on
her foreign policy will be consolidat-
ed by the coming elections and that
Parliament has resolved to sustain
the government along the lines of
Foreign Minister Tittoni's proposed
settlement.
The French newspapers generally
concur in the Italian point of view. ;
expressing surprise at the American j
attitude.
RIOHAR BRINSLEY SHIRIDKN
Let the world that owes a debt to
genius take off its hat to its knees.
Let a faithless friend and a George
IV.! arise from his ashes, and, paler
than the lining of his marble tomb,
bend before bruised genius. Richard
thanks we owe to thee!
The author of the "School for
Scandal," the wittiest comedy in "'e
English language; the author of "The
Rivals," of "The Duenna," of "The
Critic," etc., Richard Brinsley Sheri
dan, poet, dramatist, orator and
statesman, was born in Dublin, Ire-
land, on October, 30th, 1751. Amidst i
the efficient suns of that brilliant, 1
that blinding, literary era, the era
ct;.r:Sr!
there were giants in the earth in
those days the name of Sheridan
glitters, eloquence that lingers among
great utterances that "dart fire into
men". At school at Harrow, young
Sheridan was a favorite. That airy,
sparkling face was to make friends
all through life, destined to love with
almost fatal passions; that bubbling
wit that tossed off great comedies;
that scorching eloquence that held L
House of commons of noted debaters
and men of genius enthralled for five
hours at a time, was to end in penury
and weii-nigh disgrace, forsaken by
a Prince whom his pleadings before
the House had lifted over extremely
rough places and threatened public,
censure.
In 1770, m Bath whither the family
of the sheridans had removed, sheri-
dan met the beautiful Miss Linly,
whose portrait by Gainsborough hangs
today at Knoie, Kent. To protect
the beautiful singer from thronging
suitors, some of these reckless liber-
tines, to have her, ah, there was no
half way measures with men of the
Eighteenth century! Sheridan ro-
maticaiiy escorted Miss Liniey to a
nunnery in France (for papa did not
favor the suit of a man who had only
his genius for a bankbook), on the
way to the continent, the young lovers

the big baying days of deep-souied
men, prize hounds In the blue ribbon
contests of life,
men of duels, and j
deep play, and deep bumpers, and :
deep passions men of genius, how- !
ever. The father of the "beautiful
Miss Liniey" was at last won over,
and Sheridan and his youthful bride
took a house in London. Relying on
his wits, Sheridan furnished the house
grandly, and entertained like the
fashionable world. "The Rivals" was
produced in 1775. It took that place
on the stage which It has never lost.
There followed "St. Patrick's Day";
and then "The Duenna". And now
Sheridan became part owner, with
Garrick of Drury Lane Theatre.
Comedy after comedy followed from
his sparkling pen.
"School for Scandal
The famous
was produced
in 1777. It immediately established
Sheridan's fame. In the dreadful
years .mat. were io ionow, tne gen
erous Byron pronounced, thus. UDon

opera, the best farce; the best ad

to crown all, delivered the best ora

Moore, "the Stage that was to be his
glory and his ruin; the property which
made his master, was exactly of that
i treacherous kind which not only de
ceives a man himself, but enables
him,ato deceive others; and thus com
bined all that person of Sheridan's
carelessness and ambition had most
to dread. An uncertain income, by
evading calculation gave an excuse
for improvidence, amidst the intoxi
cation of as deep and thick draught
of fame as ever a young author
quaffed. Scarcely had the' zest of
this excitement worn off, when he
became the companion and friend of
nobles and princes. Sheridan entered
Parliament in 1780. Here his bril
liance glittered in impassioned de
bate. In the notorious banquets at
Oarleton House where the Prince of
Wales was host, Sheridan was a
sparkling figure. He was the friend
of the Prince, "The first Gentleman
in Europe," who lifted a toast as
none of the others has done before
or since, and whose outrageous pro
fligacy and extravagance overflowed
into the days of the R-egency when
the Insanity of the king, George III,
made the Regency obligatory for the
nation.
There followed the fearful decline.
Debts, debts and more debts for
Sheridan to pay who could not.
He was seized, and Imprisoned in a
sponging house for debt. Theatre and
Parliament closed to him most hor
rible of all; health failing; his young
wife's death, from consumption;
Iebts, debts, petty borrowings from
jhe few friends left in hi adversity.

"DAMN
ALTER B. LASHAR, George W. Eames and W. E. See
ley, were appointed a commission to investigate
traffic conditions in Bridgeport.
On June 3, 1919, they reported to the Common Council,
that the trolley service was abominable, that the trolley cars
ought to run on a three and five minute headway, that six cent
fares were a futility, that more safety cars should be used, that
five cent fares should be charged.
