RYAN SAVED LIFE OF
 AGED WOMAN

For the second time in as many
 weeks the big, bay horse driven by
 Frederick A. Klaus, who bottles and
 delivers beer for the Bridaepor Dis
 tributing company at 102 State street
 ran away this morning. Striking the curb the horse wrenched the shafts
 from the wagon and dashed like mad from Harrison street down Fairfield
 avenue toward Main street In its
 mad flight the animal nearly ran down a pedestrian at Broad street., Had it not been for the courage of Patrol man John Ryan of the traffic squad at Fairfield avenue and Main street
 an aged lady would probably have been killed. Hurrying her to the
 sidewalk the policeman just had time to grab the horse by the bridle and by
 sheer force of muscle brought the anil
 nal to stop. The arm of the brave 'cop'' was badly wrenched but he was not disabled.
 After it. was all over he treated the matter very lightly but said his heart was in his mouth for fear of the old lady, who was crossing the street.

minutes, 2S 4-5 seconds. See, in a Maxwell, was third, time hours, 30 minutes, A seconds.
 Today's event was anything but the success of former years In addition to a great reduction in the number of spectators, both in the grandstand and along the various portions of the course, the enthusiasm of the event fell far short of what it was on prev ious occasions, and for a few minutes during the running of the final lap of the Vanderbilt cup race, the ma1n event threatened to result in a fiasoo, owing to a mistake by. the official scorers who failed to credit the Alco car with one of the laps negotiated. A protest was lodged and just before the Alec cdr crossed the line the final time the protest of it's entrants was allowed
 The events today were run off with out a single serious eccident, owing largely to the reduction in the num- Der of spectators who according to re liable estimates, did not exceed 75,0Oo or 100000 as against 250,000 who have witnessed the contest in years past
 The best single lap negotiated dur ing the race was made by Chevrolet when he completed his 4th round in 9.57. The rate of 61 1-4 miles an hour falls considerably short of the record. s F

THEHANDWRITINGONTHEWAL


 The municipal election is over. except the voting and the shouting. The doubt which usually obscures the result of an election is this year almost entirely absent. The story of mai administration is too plainly written on the minds of the people. Never before in all it's history has Bridgeport suffered two such years of humiliation and public disgrace. No corporation has been teo humble to tweak the city's nose. and none too busy to give the city a passing kick as it went about it's other business.
 The Sharbor grab and the car barn surrender have become household words.
 The highest tax rate in the his- tory of the municipality is accom- panied by the dirtiest streets and the greatest appearance of conn munity down at the heels. un- washed and uncared for.
 The biggest grand list is made almost entirely of the valuation of homes and lands.
 The rank injustice of the system by which the dwellings of the peo- pie pay all the bills. and the mono- polies. and great corporations dodge the tax gatherer hundreds of thou sands of dollars has impressed up- on the public at last Knowledge of who it is that runs the officers the people elect to hi@h executive office.
 A home is as likely to be owned by a Republican as by a Demo- crat.
 Hence it is that so many ReDub- licans proclaim that the present administration is no child of Re- publicanism. but rather the degen- crate offspring of special privilege ? and power.
 The Republican primaries were~a warning note.
 The absolute declination of the special privilege leaders even to consider the program of party policy offered by Republicans who ( desired a change was the climax.
 It meant that Republicans. denied the rights that belong to them in their party. and denied the privi- 1ege of reform within their party. determined to accomplish reform as citizens by voting out of office the men who had caused the wrongs of which so grievous complaint is made.
 Moreoverin their leader. Edward T. Buckfngham. the Democrats have a man who has always com manded hundreds of votes from Republican admirers. and who is { still able to do so.
 Equally fortunate has it been that the nominees on the ticket 2 with Mir. Buckingham are tried men. Are all men who have served the people before and have not been found wanting.
 \ Neither Boucher. nor Donnelly. nor Thomas has a spot upon his record of public service. They have . record for performance that is not eoualled by the record of any other three men of equal oppor- tunity anywhere.
 Fortunate too have been the peo- pie in the character of the opposi- tion that has been offered to the forces of progress and justice.
 To the charge that homes are over taxed no answer has been op- posed.
 To the charge that the public service monopolies are undertaxed no reply has been made.
 The harbor grab and the car barn surrender stand unrefuted.
 The mayors promise to leave town has not been kept. What wonder that victory for. the people is assured. How strange would it be and how little compli- mentary to the people if the forces of greed and privilege and politics for personal profit were not at last routed.

BOOKED As DRUNK;
SKULL ACTUREO


At twenty minutes to II o'clock
Monday night james McGannon was
found lying ON the sidewalk IN front
of the Criterion, and, as he was bleed
ing slightly at the mouth, he was sent
to the Queen S Hospital in the patrol
wagon The doctor made an examina-
ton, but found no wounds or anything
to indicate that he had suffered an IN
jury, but his breath was heavy with the
fumes of liquor. He was thereupon
returned to the patrol wagon, takfn
to the police station, booked as
drunk and placed in cell overnight.
Early yesterday morning Sergeant
Nelson in making his rounds, looked IN
upon McGannon and came to the con-
elusion that his long sleep was due to
something more than liquor. He sent
him to the hospital again, and while the
man was undergoing second examina-
ton, he expired. A later examination
revealed a fracture of the skull just
over the left eye. wound which was
not apparent to the glance.
Ex-Governor Carter. one Of the hos
pital trustees, referred to this case
while he was before the Board of Su-
pervisors last night, stating that the
rUmor that the man was not admitted
to the hospital at all. was incorrect
The man s condition pointed to the fact
that he was very much under the infiu
ence of alcohol and he was returned
to the police. The examination OF the
surgeon did not reveal any wounds.
Deputy Sheriff Rose stated yester-
dav that he learned that the facture
did not show through the skin at all.
The stories of fight are not borne out
by the statements Of witnesses. AS
far as known MeGannon fell down on
the sidewalk and his head came IN
sharp contact with the pavement lie
was picked mp almost Immediately and
held until the police arrived.
According TO Sheriff Jarrett g in
formation MeGannon dropped in here
at the time of the Big -Four squadron s
first visit nearly two years ago.
An inquest viii be held at the police
station tonight.
