about the cars like bees and yelled at and jeered the motormen and conduc- tors. Occasionally some of the people about them would get rough, but at no time was there any real violence.
 Early yesterday morning Postmaster Howarth served formal notice upon the officials of the Fair Haven and Vest vile Railroad company that the gov- ernment should expect the transfer of the mails between New Haven and the suburban postoffices, notwithstanding the strike of the employees. The Fair Haven and Westville company has the contract for carrying the mails between New Haven and the postofhces in the suburbs located on the lines of the rail- way. With this notice upon the Fair Haven and Westville road similar mo- tice was served upon the committee of the striking employees. .-s
 Postmaster Howarth, in anticipation of the strike resulting from the discus sions of last week, sent a communica- ton to Boston, the headquarters of the postal division in New England, appris- ing the postal authorities of the situa- ton in New Haven and the probability of strike.
 The attitude of the government rela- tive to the transfer of mails during the strike was made plain by the postal officials, and this was substantially the notice given in the communication sent to the Fair Haven and Westville railroad and the committee of the strik- CTS.
 Postmaster Howarth said that no car was placarded with the signs that was not actually employed in transferring the mails from one point to another. He did not believe that the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company was attaching the placard to any cars that were not employed in the mail service. He said that the postal authorities would not tolerate it.. Postmaster How arth said: :,'.
 "All the cars which are carrying those signs are engaged either in carrying or

EARLY MORNING SCENES.
Crowds Around the shops on Grand
 Avenue.

Avenue.
 At o'clock yesterday morning large crowd of sympathizers and troll ley men congregated about the car shops on, Grand avenue. Groups of men were gathered on each street and the situation and possible results were discussed from every viewpoint. Peo- pie who usually use the trolley in going to and from their work were astir early yesterday morning and joined the throngs that marched from Fair Ha- ven to the center of the city and the various factories in the manufacturing district.
 At the hour mentioned above not car was running on the Fair Haven road, with the exception of the mail car This car carries mail between Westville and the Fair Haven pestof- flee.
 Three 'owl'' cars. two on the Fair Haven line and one on the West Haven branch, were run in about o'clock, after which business was practically suspended.
 At about 5:30 o'clock car was run out of the Fair Haven shed with a Fair Haven and Westville sign attach ed. It went over East Grand avenue, and on the return run to Westville it passed the crowds that lined the avenue all through Fair Haven. From this hour at intervals until 6:30 o'clock cars were put in operation. It was said that at o'clock dozen cars were doing their regular runs.
 There were few passengers on the cars. Some of the men who attempted to break the strike by taking out cars lost heart after they had made two trips and it was no unusual sight to see a car come back without a conductor. The motormen returned to the barn and then gave up their car. As no more men could be secured the signs were removed and the cars run into the barn.
 One by one the cars returned to the sheds and at S:S0 o'clock every one that had been taken out was housed and the road was completely tied up. The strike breakers, so far as can be learned, were not intimidated nor threatened with vi- olence, but of their own free will they quit work and joined the ranks of the strikers.

Spent Hours at Corner of Church and
 Chapel Streets-calEtd d or Police.
 Mayor Studley was one of the busiest men about the center of the city yes terday and became interested when he saw the United States mail signs on the cars. He said nothing, but went di- rectly to his office. He didn't stop to open his desk, but called Chief of Police Wrinn to his office. Mayor Studfey then asked the chief to order the police off from the cars, he taking the view that the orders to protect the trolleys with policemen were nasty. There was nothing in the situation yet, as he saw, which would warrant such action. The chief ordered the police off the cars at 10 o'clock.
 Mayor Studley thinks the strikers are orderly and will make no trouble. The mayor said he wished to appeal to the citizens to keep away from the corners, to prevent crowds which invariably breed trouble He said that if the peo- pie persisted in collecting, he would ad- vocate that the police take the names of the leaders and hold them responsible for any trouble that might arise.
 A member of the committee from the strikers called on Mayor Studley yester- day morning for instructions. The two had a short talk and went over the situation. The mayor told the striker that it might be advisable for his men, whom he understood were on their hon. or mot to be unruly, to visit the street corners and keep the people moving, and in that way prevent trouble. May or Studley was not informed as to the grievances the men have against the corporation.
 Attorney George D. WatTous and Chief Electrician Punderford of the railroad company called on Mayor Studley yesterday afternoon and de- manded police protection for the com pany. They said that the strikers had been guilty of violent acts against their men running on a car in Grand ave- nue in the morning.
 The mayor told his visitors that po- lice protection would be afforded when

The Second Entertainment in the Star
Course.

A musical entertainment Of pure delight
was given in the Auditorium Wednesday
evening. when the Young Mems Christian
association presented the Sammis Grand
Concert company as the second attrac-
ton in its star course. There was a large
and appreciative audience. The artists
were Miss Sibyl Sammis soprano. Miss
Helen Marie Burr. harpist. George II.
Downing. baritone, and Edwin NJ. Shon-
ert. pianist Miss Sammis had been
heralded as one of the few great Ameri-
can sopranos. Whether this be true
could not be judged fairly from the selec-
lions she gave at this concert, as they
required little that could be considered
as a test of true greatness. She did
enough, however. to show that her voice
Is well cultivated. Is of pure quality,
powerful, but flexible, of good range and
well under control. Mr.. Downing. the 9TH
er vocalist. carried the audience by storm.
His voice is unusual in its depth and is res
onant to degree that thrills his hearers.
His selections, "A Cavaliers Song" and
The Brigand," were composed for just
such a robust voice as he possesses
The duet by Miss Sammis and Mr.. Down
ing, the last number on the program,
contained passages that were beautifully
rendered. Miss Burr, the harpist, as
tonished the audience with the ease with
which she handled her difficult instru-
ment. Everybody loves harp. but ones
fondness for 1t could not be other than
intensified after hearing Miss Burr.
Throughout her renditions absolute still
ness prevailed in the audience and her
whispering pianissimo passages were dis
tinctly audible in remote parts of the
room. 1t is unusual for a Brattleboro
audience to give such vigorous and spon-
taneous applause to a pianist after his
first number as followed the Military
March" by Mr.. Shonert. The pianist
should have been given a grand piano
for such a selection, but with all the
limitations of the instrument at hand
the effect was charming In the Liszt
Raphsodie, Mr.. Shonert displayed techni-
cal equipment and brilliancy of express
sion which was proof that he is a great
pianist.
