deliverer. With his back bent from a calling which keeps him much of the time in a stopping posture, black with grime and clad in blue flannel shirt and greasy overalls, Michael O'Brien did not look much like a hero. He shook hands with Engineer Phillips exchanged a few words with him and then turned back up the tracks to re- fill and retrim his lamps.
 But as he passed the groups of ex- cited and frightened passengers, many of whom had just begun to understand the narrow escape they had experi- enced one man recognized him. t'Three cheers for the man who saved the train,' this individual shouted and while the women waved their hand kerchiefs the men gave the cheers with Q, will. O'Brien. visibly em- barrassed blushed red, under his tan and grime and then breaking into a run dashed away up the tracks out of hearing distance.
 It was nearly an hour before the damage to the locks could be repaired so that the train might proceed. When the story of OBrien'S action was told among the passengers many wanted to make up a purse for him but the brave and bashful lampman was no where to be found. However, c. N. Wood ward, superintendent of the Shore Line division was in town today investi- gating the affair. He has heard the story of O'BrierIs brave action and he will tell the story of the lampman' s heroism at the next meeting of the directoraf the road. In the mean

TELEPHONE BILLS
Local Legislators Asked to Support Pending
 Measures

At meeting of the directors of the Bridgeport Business Mems Association held this morning it was voted to re- quest the representatives and senators to the legislature from this city to use their best efforts to secure the passage of two bills affecting telephone service
 One bill provides that night service commence at o'clock instead of 10 o'clock in the evening in order that the advantage of the night rates may be secured without waiting two hours and the other asks that there be a uniform toll charge of 15 cents from one district to another. Both bills have been passed by the house and the bill regulating the 15 cent rate was lost in the senate by one vote. The senators are asked to try to have the bill recommitted.
 The people of Newtown and Bridge porters spending the summer in New town are particularly interested in the bill regulating the toll charge, and Representative Johnson of Newtown met with the directors of the associa- tion this morning and told of the great advantage it would be to the mer- chants of this city to make it possible for the people of Newtown to talk to this city for less than 25 cents for five minutes converse tiOn.

O'Conneu. be- loved rector of st Mary's Church Norwalk. were borne from the rectory to the church yesterday afternoon at four o'clock to the dirge music of the organ and choir.
 The remains were placed in front of the altar where he had off1ciated for so many years. In his hands was clasped the chalice with which he of fered so often the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. All day long and well into the night hundreds of his loved par ishioners and hundreds of Protestant people of the Norwalks who had loved him sadly viewed the remains for the last night.
 At 1O:30 o'clock this morning the funeral services over the remains were held. The church was taxed to the limit to accommodate the hundreds who assembled to do last honor to their beloved Father and friend and the solemn high funeral mass was sung by the celebrant, Rev. Timothy Waterbury, former curate in Nor walk. The other officers of the mass were: Deacon, Rev. William D. Dull lard, of Mt. Carmel; sub-deacon Rev. Richard E.

YOUNG LEVITES
 SAY lST MASS
Large Congregations at St. Patrick and St. Joseph's s Churches.

Father James T. Mcdonald cele- brated the first mass of his career as a priest yesterday morning at 10:30 at St. Patrick's church, North avenue. He was ordained Saturday morning at St. Joseph's Cathedral, Hartford, by Bishop Bevans of Springfield, Mass. His first mass was sung at St. Pat rfck's church because 1t has been his home parish since his boyhood days.
 The officers of the mass assisting the celebrant were Father Nihill, mas ter of ceremonies; Father Lawler of Ansonia, sub deacon, a classmate of Father Mcdonald at the Grand Semin- ary, Montreal; and Father Curran of St. Patrick's church, deacon. Father Wilson, who has been closely aSsociat- ed with the newly ordained priest dur ing the past year as a fellow member of the faculty of St. Thomas Semin- ary, prea a powerful sermon, talk ing as his subject "The offering of the sacrifice of the mass Is the highest function of the priest.' The choir ren- dered a particularly appropriate pro- gram and pleased the large congrega- capacity of the church many were re- fused admittance-
 ? Father Mcdonald has as yet receiv- ed no definite appointment and until he does he will remain at St. Pat rick's.
 Father Otto Baumeister, ordained a Roman Catholic priest on Saturday at Hartford, celebrated his first mass Sunday morning at St. Joseph's church. It was an event in the history of the parish as Father Baumeister is the first young man raised in that parish to receive Holy Orders. Father Frey of Patterson, N. J., preached an elO- quent sermon in which he directed his remarks to the young celebrant, tell ing him that the path of the priest was not one of sunshine and happi- ness as it appeared on the day of ordi- nation, but filled with responsibilities that called forth all the powers a man possessed
 The choir under the direction of MT. Fritz K. G. Weber sang several hymns. MT. Joseph Baumeister, a brother of the young priest, sang two excellent tenor solos. At the conclusion of the mass the entire congregation arose and sang in German Praise be to God Father Dahme. pastor of the church. presented Father Baumeister with a substantial sum of gold, gift of the people Of the parish. He has not yet received an appointment, but expects to know where he will be located in a few days

TARIFF FIGHT TO
 END THIS WEEK
Indications Pointing That
 Way Are Stronger Than Ever Today.
NO FILIBUSTER LIKELY
fsnecial from United Press.

Especial from On1ted PreSS.)
 Washington, Aug. 2-The indications were stronger than ever today that the tariff fight would end this week. In deed, several Senators expressed the opinion that it would be passed by the Senate by Wednesday night and that Congress would adjourn the following day.
 Senator Bailey emphatica11y denied the report that he contemplated the in auguration of a fflibuster. He and several other Democrats proposed to discuss the measure but they all said they would be brief. Senators Burkett, Brown and Crawford have defiantly denied their intention to vote for the conference report. These were among the ten who voted against the pill when it passed the Senate before going to conference, but Brown and Burkett have since been instructed by the Ne braska State Legislature to support the President on the tariff. Borah now says that he will vote against the report. The other three anti-free-hide Senators are fighting mad, but are struggling to answer themselves the question as to what would happen if the bill were defeated.
 There is report that several Sena- tors intend to vote for the measure should their assistance be required. Two names mentioned are Senators Overman and Sinon4 of North Caro- 
 What looked like an incfpient fi1i- buster developed early in the session. The clerk was reading along in a sing song tone of voice and in a remarkably short space of time got well into the voluminous report. After ten min utes, Senator Hepburn, who is one of those threatening to vote against the bill. remarked that he thought the clerk had omitted the maximum and minimum provision Senator Clark also chimed in and said that he had heard nothing about the cotton sched- uIe. Heyburn said with some show of temper that it was not for the clerk to say what part of the bill should be read and what should be omitted. It is obvious to Senators on this side" !" remarked Democratic leader Culberson, "that at least 20 pages were skipped over moment ago without reading.
 Senator Grey who was in the chair, tried to excuse the clerk by stating that the present clerk who Is reading ty taking up the report where he thought the other clerk who had com menced the reading, had left off. Hey burn thereupon demanded the reading in full and the clerk had to turn back to the beginning of the cotton schedule and get a fresh start.

BILTz MEANS
 TO FIGHT BACK
Director of Public Works Says He'll Protect His
 Reputation.
WILL FACE COMMISSION

Director of Public Works c. F. A. Biltz did not appear to be losing any flesh this morning over the scorchins the Permanent Paving and Sewer Commission meted out to him at its session last Friday night. Asked if he had anything to say concerning the criticism of the commission, he said: 'I have nothing to say at present"
 Relative to the statement made by Commissioner Fred Atwater of the commission to the effect that it was costing the city about s4.75 a square yard to lay brick pavement in Golden Hill street and, emitting the cost of sand and cement at least S3.75, MT. Biltz said:
 When the commission meets next Friday night I will hand it an item ized report showing what it costs to lay permanent pavement in this city. I have worked hard and did my best for the city, and after working sixteen years for a reputation I am not going to lose it this. way"
 The members of the commission were inclined to think that the cost of lay ing the brick pavement in Golden Hill street should not be more than $2.75. Director Biltz did not discuss figures this morning but seemed to feel pretty confident that he would be able to sat isfy the commission that the city was doing well in laying it's own pave ment. The director is going to fur nish estimates to the commission in competition with the private concerns for furnishing labor in the South Main street paving job. The director says he is handicapped as private contrac- tors can figure on a nine and ten hour basis while he under the ordinances must figure on an eight hour basis.
 Asked why he did not attend the last meeting of the commission, the direc- tor said that he had been suffering with malaria and that he was not much improved in his condition, al- though he was working.
