BURGLARS RAID
 FIVE SALOONS
Each of the Dealers Robbed of Gallon of Whiskey and
 Box of Cigars
POLICE ARE BAFFLED
Especial from United Press.)

New Haven, Oct. 25-Whiskey and cigars are missing in five New Haven saloons to-day but nothing more. And since the shortage is the work ot burglars. the victim saloon keepers are shaking each others hand and thank ing their lucky stars that the burglars thirsts were greater than their love for the contents of the cash registers. Not penny is missing in any of the burglarized saloons.
 Almost within the same hour the five saloon keepers put in an appear ance at headquarters and reported their losses. In each case the back door had been forced in identically the same manner and with the same in struments apparently. When the com plainants reported they had each been robbed of a gallon of whiskey and a box of cigars-no more. no less-but that their cash drawers hadn't been touched, the police winked at each other and were inclined to bow the saloon keepers out as imposters.
 In the annals of the New Haven po- lice there is no record of bold burglars being satisfied with such meagre booty when hundreds of dollars might just as well have been their loot.

SUITS AGAINST

Four Plaintiffs Allege In juries of Minor Character Caused by Collision or Fall.

Today in the civil Common Pleas court four suits were filed against the Connecticut Company.
 Samuel Abramson asks for $500. He was driving his peddler's cart in Main street near Railroad avenue, on June 24, when a trolley car slipped up be- hind and slapped the cart in the rear, throwing him from the seat, injuring the horse and dumping 109 quarts of strawberries into the street. He al- leges that the motorman did not ring the bell
 Mendel Hass asks for $1, BOO. On Aug. 2, 1909, he was driving his wagon on Main street, behind north bound car. He attempted to turn into Grand street, but as he did so a south bound car peppered his wagon in the slats. He was thrown to the ground and his scalp opened, twenty stitches being required to sew up the wound. The wagon was smashed and his horse in jured.
 One tf ousand will sooth Miss Annie Friedn,ann. On June 24 1909, in the evening, she attempted to alight from a South Park avenue car at Columbia street. The car slowed and stopped, but as she was a1ighting it again start ed and she was thrown to the ground. As a result of her injuries she was in tue IofiuSepOEI 1oSpIIdi ioi O.

l73RD ANNUAL MEETING OF
 CONSOLATION
{ fen of Churches to be Represented Were Founded Before American
 Revolution.

The Fairfield East Consociation of Congregational churches, whose one hundred and seventy-third annual meeting will be held in Olivet church congregational churches in Eastern Fairfield county.
 These churches, according to the last year book, have an aggregate mem- bership of 4715 and have in their pos- session church property to the esti- mated value of $456, ,S32. Each of the churches conducts a Sunday school and the total enrolment is 360s. The largest church in point of mem bership is Danbury, first with an en- rollment of 817 and the smallest is the Swedish church of the same place with Al members. The oldest church in the consolation is that at Strat- ford which organized in 1889, while the youngest is the Italian church of Bridgeport which dates it's organiza- tion in 1903. Ten of the churches were founded before the American Revolu- ton, but fact that argues well for the continued vitality of congregation alism is that the other eight churches which now have an aggregate member ship of 1865, have all been founded during the past forty-two years.
 The two speakers announced on the program are well worth hearing. Rev. Frank C. Porter is thezWinckley Pro- lessor of Biblical Theology in Yale
 w
 led upon to present something of real worth and authority on the subject which he treats.

rCopyright 1909, By the United Press)
 New York Oct. 25.-With the ex- pressed opinion that the present pol icy of the United States in the far east is being shaped solely in the in- terest of group of Wall street finan- ciers and that no possible benefit to the nation at large can result from it, Henry George Jr., son of the great single taxer and publicist, in an ex- elusive interview granted the United Press today, declared that trouble is certain to result which will probably end in the American army and navy being called to fight the private bat ties of the American monied interests under the guise of ''upholding Ameri- can honor."
 MT. George has just returned from several months spent in studying at first hand the conditions which in his opinion are said to be very largely in the minds of the American people, if the present policy of the adminis- Z tration is continued. Asked what in his opinion was the motive back of the forced resignation of Charles R. Crane of Chicago, from the post of minister to China, MT. George replied tersely:
 dicate. I do not pretend to know more of the intimate grounds for the secretary of states action than have been published ,'' continued Mr. George. .'Mr. Crane may or may not have been andiscreet. The thing to note is not that, but the implication in Secretary Knox's statement that the government is perusing the recent agreements be- tween China and Japan in relation to Manchuria, with a view to determin- ing whether there is anything in the agreements adversely affecting Amer ican interests.
 ssTo me, this in an admission of the gravest portent, a seeming admission tof the very thing charged against us in the far east, that the American government is doing the work of the American syndicates in getting con- sessions and loan privileges in China and trying to force way for them into Manchuria-
 1 "At the dinner given to him in New York on September IT, MT. Crane is reported to have indicated it may not always be necessary. to repeat the new form of hold-up in which the state department has been so successfully fengaged in forcing money on China This language sounds undipIomatical- ly bald and frank yet it aptly describes according to the Asiatic view, what has been done by our government in the recent Chinese loan. Our govern ment practically compelled the other nations to allow our bankers to par- iticiDate.'
 ] sBut how can a share ip a thirty or forty million dollar loan be of any importance to any American syndi- cates accustomed to deal in the hum dred millions?'' MT. George was ask ed. F.
 While the share in that particular loan may be a small matter he re- piled, "the many loans that are like ly to be made in the course of the next three years in China, will make a huge aggregate At the high inter est that that sum will draw the in- vestment will be a good one But it must be considered as very much more than that It will really be a huge mortgage on China, giving our gov ernment at the behest of the syndicates an excuse for sending troops into

A Little Study In
 Municipal Finance

The man whose only property is the home he owns is somewhat perp1exed as he views the increas- ing expense of conducting the af- fairs of the city and realizes how large a share of the burden is laid on him.
 In 1890 the appropriations for municipal charges were $651, ,000.
 In 1900. ten years later. the bud get had grown to $829.O00 This was an increase of $178,000, and an average annual increase of 1000.
 Five years later. in 1905. the bud- get was $1,0S9,O0O The increase since 1900 had been $260,000. This was an average annual increase of $52, GOO.
 In the present year the budget is 1,512, 600. Four years have elapsed. The increase is $433, ,0G0. The average annual increase is $10S, 900.
 The tax rate is the highest in the history of Bridgeport. The grand list is the greatest the city ever had,
