SALARY OF NURSE
 SEEMS ASSURED

Mrs. Henry Hallem Tweedy, who with Mrs. Lucien T. Warner is receiv- ing contributions to assist the anti tuberculosis movement, stated this morning that the contributions were coming in generously, and it would be only a short time before the organiza- tion would be able to engage a. nurse to take charge of the outside work. The organization looks to the delega- tions from the various meetings, rep resented at the recent meeting, to aid them materially in establishing the fund.
 The outside work to be carried on by the visiting nurse is the most i'm pOrtant in connection with the fight against the great white plague. Un- der her guidance the spread of the disease is prevented and the patient who needs the cheer of his own fire side as one part of his treatment is given great help by the aid of pure milk, fresh eggs. and plenty of fresh air. Patients under the care of these visiting nurses have been known to greatly improve and many have been pronounced cured in cities where the work has been carried on.
 One of the ideas of the women'S branch of the movement is to prevent tubercular patients from becoming charges upon the town. and the conse- quent breaking up of their families. Frequently workmen seized with the plague have been unable to support their families, and the records of the city hospital at the town farm show where hundreds have ended their days.

Great Athlete Gives Vivid Description of
 Great International Games in London.
Pays Compliment to Principal Smonds of Bridgeport High School English Hated to See Americans Win and Scarcely Gave Them Fair Show.

The High School assembly hall was
 well filled last night with High School students and alumni. to listen to the Harry Porter, holder of the Olympic record for the standing hgh jump. Principal Henry D. Simons, in intro ducing the speaker, referred to the re- cent Yale Alumni banquet, in New York, in which 1900 Yale graduates sat down to do honor to an old alum nus. a man wno had attained the high est office within the gift of tine Ameri- can people, President William H. Taft.
 Tonight, he said, we have with us an old B. H. S. graduate, d man who by his athletic prowess attained a worlds record at the recent Olympic games at London. Mir. Porter in his remarks told the students present that they ought to be glad that they had such a man as MT. SimondS to guide to say that most of his successes were due to the teaching of MT. Simonds. In his opinion athletics is one of the most vital acquisitions to mankind. Those who condemned athletics never had a drop of red blood course through their veins We Americans he said, "are accused of making a study of athletics and are condemned for doing too we'll He also referred to the athletics of the iancients. saying that when culture was at it's highest, so was athletics. In reference to the recent Olympic games at London. the Americans atta-ned the enmity of the British people at the start. When the American contingent arrived on the field a parade was form
 ed immediately. Ralph Rose. the b g. gest man on the team. was selected to
 carry the American flag. In passing the reviewing stand of the king and queen, Rose unintentionally forgot to
 dip the flag as a courtesy to the king and queen. Rose was not up on court
 etiquette but was not forgiven by the followers of the king. MT. Porter had a number of views with him, which
 illustrated the events. The incident where the Americans are passing the
 reviewing stand, with Rose carrying the flag, was very clear. A picture of

THE FIRST
 RECALL ELECTION

Los Angeles, March 27.-George Alex ander was yesterday elected Mayor of Los Angeles to succeed Arthur c. Harper, the recalled Mayor, who re- signed two weeks ago.
 This is the first time in the history of municipal government that a May or has been recalled.
 W. D. Stephens, whom the City Council appointed to fill the office dur ing the interim between Harper's res ignation and the recall election, will step aside and Alexander will probab- ly be sworn into office next Monday.
 A feature of the election was the strong race made by Fred c. Vince Ter, the Socialist. who was the only candidate against Alexander.
 The Municipal League, which con ducted the campaign for the recall of Harper and the election of Alexander. thinks it has broken the back of the machine and will have little difficulty in defeating it at the regular city cleo tion next December
 Thursday night the Grand Jury re turned an indictment against former Police Commissioner Sam Schenck charging him with attempted bribery. This action materially aided the recall lers in to-day's election. Other indict- ments of former officials will probab- ly follow.

RICHES DUGOUT OF SAND NEAR
 STARIN WRECK
Roosevelt's Rifles, Watches and Double Barreled Baby Carriage Among Prizes.

F The wreck of the steamer John H. Starin was laden with something be- sides bad luck. While wrecks are not desirable at any time the casting up of the steamer on the breakwater can not be regarded as wholly regretable by a portion of the community. Since the wreck boatmen and others have been at work about the place where the Starin struck and also along the route she took before she grounded Oyster dredges and tongs have been used to bring to the surface portions of the cargo which were Wasneo or thrown overheard.
 , The work has in some instances been more profitabl than oysterlng-
 One man who has been at work with oyster tongs, brought up 96 planes, which were a part of the cargo, and which had been washed overheard The case in which they were packed had been broken by the waves and the planes had sunk to the bottom They are worth $2.5O each and the lucky finder has sold most of them at small reduction from the regular price.
 Another man got 12 gold watches from the sand near the spot where the steamer was beached. There are still two winchester rifles in the water near the spot which if found will be prize. < They were made to oroer py the Winchester company at cost or s15O each When they were lost the order was duplicated by working night and day to get them out on time. IL is said that the rifles were ordered for Ex-President Roosevelt to take with him on his African trip. They have not been found since. com bination lathe and planer, worth $l l,5oo was lost in the wreck and has not been found although there is a rumor that an East End man dug it out Of the sand the day after the wreck, ana took it home.
 Several East End ladies are wear ing silk dresses which came rom Lne rreck Several cases of valuable silks went overheard and were picked m along the shore. Large quantities of all kinds of hardware nave been 6sbed out of the water near the scene.
 Ona of the most interesting of the finds was that of a young unmarried East End resident who picked up baby carriage built for twins IL IS said he will hold it for future oeHelop- mentS.

CHIMNEY FIRES
 NOT NECESSARY

Building Inspector Daniel M. Row land stated today that now the spring of the year is here it would be a.dvis- able for all property owners to inspect their chimneyS. Some are filled up with soot and dangerous from a fire standpoint, while others affected by the gases in the f1ue and the wind and rain on the outside, are badly in need of pointing up.
 The inspector said he was sure that if property owners would give atten- tion to their chimneys at the begin ming of each year they would prevent the chimneys from deterfoatfng, get better draught for their fires and elim- mate fire dangers. In New York city a fine of $10 is imposed upon the own CT of property where there is a chim- ney fire. -~--
 The. department is called out in Bridgeport about 50 times a year to extinguiSh chimney fires. For. some time the fire department authorities have been talking of asking for law here similar to the New York law.

KING VICTOR WILL NOT
 MEET EX.PRESIDENT
Wonld Look Undignified for Him to go
 to Naples to Greet Mir. Roosevelt.
fspeciaI from United Press.)

Special from United Press.)
 Naples, March 27.-No confirmation can be obtained here of the rumor that King Victor will come to Naples to meet ex-President Roosevelt. When this report was current several weeks ago an official statement was issued at the Quirinal that the King would not meet MT. Roosevelt at least until the latter's return from his African hunt As far as officials here know this decision still stands. To many of his leading advisers, however, the. King has expressed his earnest desire to meet Mir. Roosevelt and were it not for the fact that his coming to Naples would arouse opposition on the ground that it would be undignified, there is no doubt that His Majesty would welcome the Former President.

l. The merchants were rewarded With victory in the matter of their fight for wood block pavement on Main street, when the Council committee on Streets awarded the contract for blocks to Silliman & Godfrey Co.,, agents for the American Creosote wood blocks, at s19O per square yard, or $35.1S1s per thousand blocks, with a five year guarantee.

 The contract for sand was given to the B. D. Pierce, Jr., Co.,, at 97A cents per cubic yard
 The bids were publicly opened in ed by Chairman Hartley that Mayor Lee has taken up the matter of groov- ed rails with the Connecticut Com pany.

One-half of this sum will come back from as- sessments, leaving over BPS, 900 to pave Main street from East Washington avenue to Gilbert street This sum will be insufficient for the entire job, but the committee estimates that it
