Minutes Without Response from the
Officers on the Streets.

After the meeting OF the Board Of
Police commissioners last night Com
missioner Kershaw turned on the four
red lights located in different parts OF
the city both to test the lights and the
men. There are four of these red
lsihts located about the central per-
ton of the city. They can be dis
played by pressing a button at head
quarters. They are intended to notify
the patrolmen that an immediate re-
port is wanted at headquarters. Ev-
cry patrolman who sees the redfh light
is supposed to report to headquarters
through the nearest box at once. The
lights should have been seen by six

THE THEATRES
POLLS

in bringing the Broadway sensation
the original comic opera, entitled THE
Naked Truth" to Bridgeport next week
Manager Poll offers to his patrons the
acme of vaudeville magnificence and
pretentiousness. 1t is safe to predict
that 1.-THE Naked Truth will be the
biggest hit of the vaudeville season
here, as it well should me. With
story Irresistible in its novelty and in
terest. presented by a superb company
including eighteen, and a wealth of
special scenery THE Naked Truth"
stands to-day at the head of the great
spectacular things in the varieties. In
the stellar roles will apoear Phyllis
Rankin, daughter of Mckee Rankin
and Harry Davenport a brother of the
famous Fannie Davenport. Mr.. Dav-
export assumes the role of Johnny Nc
Intosh, of the Kings Scotch High
balls.'' while Miss Rankin is cast as
Stella of whom Johnny is much enam-
CURED
the Goddess of Truth and well en-
chanted by the statue. The Goddess
be it known has as might be supposed
a particular aversion for fibbing even
of the white variety. Johnny and
Stella sitting on the well curb re-
count a series of white hbs such as
lovers are wont to do. Prestoi Johnny
loses his kits. Stella loses her waist.
The Draw Johnny is finally put to the
supreme test by his rival Rudolph
sailor boy and is compelled to state
whether he loves Stella for herself
alone or her money. Johnny the cam
nv Scot has had an eye upon Stella's
coin but in mortal fear of loosing his
s'breeks' he finally tells the truth and
loses Stella.
The chorus including fifteen Broad
way favorites is caught fibbing when
the charming girls representing de-
mure village maidens in Normandy
aver they have never been kissed.
Whisk! The Goddess of Truth gets
busy and the fair maidens have to
scurry behind a tarpaulin to makeup
for the ruthless stripping the Goddess
has given them. The piece teens with
wholesome and Irresistible comedy and
unique situations. The music is es-
pecially arranged, the entire work be-
ing from the fertile brain of Edward

Watching A Stomach
Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby
Science Made Possible
the Cure of Dyspepsia

The Able Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study Systematically the
chemical powers CT the gastric juice,
but it was by the careful and convinc-
ing experiments of Beaumont that the
foundation of our exact knowledge of
it's composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, To-
Gated at an obscure military post in
tory, and was called upon to treat a
gun shot wound of the stomach in
Canadian voyageur-Alexfs st. Martin
When the wound healed permanent
opening was left by. means of which
food could he placed in the stomach
and gastric juice taken from it.
Beaumont made scientific expert
ments with his crude means and wrote
among the classics of physiology.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists SO that today medicine
knows what the stomach does with
food and what food does to the stom
ach.
Science also knows what the gastric
juices are and how to make them best
for the system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks
to the poor army surgeon and Alexis
st. Martin. give man means of di-
costing food, replenishing the exhaust
ed juices, soothing the nerves and cor
recting dyspeptic conditions OF the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat

LIQUOR LICENSE
APPLICATIONS
Bills Pertaining to Excise Matters Before
Legislative Committee.

The excise committee yesterday af-
ternoon gave hearings upon three bills
concerning the signers or endorsers of
applicants for a liquor license. One
Dill amends the present law so that
signers, while they must be taxpayers
and electors of the community in
which the application is made, need
not necessarily be owners of real eS-
tate The second bill provides that
the signers need only be electors in the
town, While the third bill does away
with signers altogether and leaves the
granting of a license wholly to the
county commissioners The LIQUOR in
terests favored the latter bill, claiming
mat under the present system it was
nearly impossible to secure signers and
that oftentimes they had been obliged
10 pay man to endorse an applica-
ton. The anti-liquor interests want
ed the law left as it was, saying that
they wanted the applicant backed by
five citizens of reputable character.

WOMEN WORKING SHORT CHANGE GAM
Attempts to Obtain Extra Change Defeat.
ed Whenever Attempted in This City
tame Too Old to Catch Local
Dealers

The short change game is being per-
sistently worked in this city and
Bridgeport is not the only locality
which is complaining of the unusual
activity of this class of crooks. The
peculiar feature connected with the
swindle in this city is that women are
reported almost as frequently as, men
for having attempted the game! So
far no cases of success on the part of
the swindlers have been reported. Last
Saturday night the swindle was at
tempted on two occasions at the Wool
worth Five and Ten Cent store on
Main street. Both attempts were
made on the same sales girl. One wo-
man gave the girl one dollar bill
and few minutes later claimed that
she had rendered ten dollar bill and
was short nine dollars in her change.
There was only one SO bill in the cash
register and the manager of the store
found the customer who had presented
it. 4 few minutes later another wo-
man asserted that she had given the
same girl a two dollar bill and had
received change for but one. AS no
two dollar bill could be found in the
register it was evident that the wom-
an was not sincere in her demand. AS
neither carried the matter any further
it is safe to say that both cases were
deliberate attempts to swindle the
store
short change have been heard. One
of these happened at the Royal Lunch
room on Tuesday night, when couple
of well dressed young men came in,
bought some lunch for which they
paid with a dollar bill receiving the
change In a few minutes they re-
turned and asked for another dollar
which they claimed was due them. AS
in the former instance no two dollar
bill was found in the register and the
claimants were Obliged to be content
with q few threats.
