BRIDGEPORT'S
 CITY COURT Action on Hull and Gould Report Postponed to
 Tomorrow. On Motion of Senate Leader Searles-Gave a Technl- cal Constitutional Reason for POStpOnement.
By our Staff Corres.)

Hartford, March 24.-The Senate to- day by an unanimous vote made the Bridgeport City court fight the special for. the day for tomorrow (Thursday, March 25) at noon. The reason why the question was not disposed of to- day, according to Senator Searles, Sen ate leader, was because of a defect in the committees report. The report provided that Ebert O. Hull and Rob- ert H. Gould, shall hold the offices of judge and deputy judge, respectively, of the City court of Bridgeport, for a term of two years from March g. 1909- Searles pointed out that the bill was in conflict with the constitution of the State which stipulates a term of two years for judges Of City and Police courts. He said that if the report in it's present shape was adopted the term of office, would not be for the period he asked that it be tabled temporarily for amendment. He said it was his intention to have the matter deter mined at today's session if possible. Subsequently however in view of the time consumed in the discussion of the Manchester court fight Senator Searles decided not to press the Bridgeport court matter today and offered the motion to make it the special order for tomorrow, which prevailed.
 Some of the Senators who are op- posed to the attitude of the commit tee, believe that the postponement of the Bridgeport matter today was for the purpose of clearing the decks for the Manchester fight, the result of which proved the committees supren- acy. Only nine votes were cast against the committees report, 9 votes being registered in the affirma- tive. This vote, however, is hardly a proof of the outcome of the Bridge port fight, as several Senators, notably Holzer of Bridgeport, and Blaks1ee, Courtley, and Shanley of New Ha- ven. who supported the committee to- day, openly state their intention of op- posing the Bridgeport report tomor- row if the same is in favor of Hull and Gould.
 While the impression prevails that Hull and Gould will win out, those on the inside here admit that there is an uncertainty as to the size of the vote.
 Mayor Lee, Postmaster Marigold, A. B. Beers, Judge Carl Foster and A. l.. Delaney were on hand today and, as sisted by State Secretary Rogers. were actively at work in the interest of Eos ter and Wilder. Although Sheriff Sidney E. Hawley and Commissioner Ravens of the Board of Education of Bridgeport were here today they did not go to the Capitol and they are apparently taking no interest in the City court fight.

The brigands then opened fire on the train riddling several coaches and wounding a num- Der of passengers. Guards were hastily dispatched to the nearest gar- rison and they overlook the robbers just as they were nearing their den in the mountains. After a stiff fight four teen were captured but more than twenty escaped.
