Whichever may be accepted, how

that it is going to cost a substantial
bonus. Railroads are worth paying
for, and the builders know it.

MYSTERY
 REMAINS UNSOLVED

Coroner c. A. Doten believes that some of the living members of the Keys family in Derby will be able to furnish information that will enable an identification to be made in the case of the Easton skeleton.
 While it is most unfortunate for the prospects of any early disclosure of the mystery that Mrs J. B. Keys is dead, it is believed that she must have had friends. or relatives who will remem- Der the facts of her acquaintance with the woman whose remains were found in EaSton.
 Some intercourse between the dead woman and Mrs. Keys in Derby there must have been. The letter found be- side the skeleton is conclusive evidence upon this point.
 The coroner was not inclined this morning to give much weight to the theory advanced by Superintendent Birmingham, that the remains are those of the notorious Clara Chapman.
 There appears to be a discrepancy in time between the date when Clara Chapman called upon Superintendent Birmingham, and the date when the strange visitor presented herself at the home of Elmer s. Andrews.
 As there can be little doubt that this woman is the one whose skeleton has been found a serious ob jection is constituted to Birmingham hypothesis, for his recollection is that it is but three years ago that he re- ceived visit from the Clara Chap man. And it is about four years ago that the Andrews were visited by the woman to whom they gave hospitality.
 There is a possibility that the An drews. or Superintendent Birmingham may find some occasion to doubt the accuracy of their recollections m mat ter of time. If so the difference be- tween them may be reconciled. If not, the woman whose remains were found in Easton had lain where they were discovered by the Logan boys for one year before Clara Chapman visited the superintendent of police in his office in Bridgeport

MUMMY AND THE HUMMING BIRD"
 TONIGHT AT SMITHS

An audience of good size saw "The Mummy and the Running Bird" at Smiths theatre last night, and judg- ing by the applause the production pleased. The story is a familiar one and the company interpreting it is a finely balanced one. Harry PeTnlber- ton appeared to good advantage in the leading role, while Miss Adelaide French made an ideal leading lady. On the whole the performance is well worth witnessing.
 Added interest locally is given to the production because of the prominence in the cast of a popular Bridgeport boy William H. Forestelle. The lat ter has the heavy role of the play and he fills the bill in all particulars. The production will have it's final perform ance locally tonight and the theatre should contain few if any vacant seats.

WILL FIGHT FOR
 UTILITIES BILL
Business Men Meet to Con- sider the Best Manner of Proceeding.

In his report teL tic directors of the
 Bridgeport Business Mems Association yesterday afternoon, at the meeting held in the parlor of the Kiefer man slona Carl Foster. attorney for the as- sociation. advised that no amendments ought to be proposed to- the public
 utilities bill. Senator M. w. Manwar- ing disagreed with this view, and de- scribed several changes that in his opinion should be made. se senator Manwaring said that it was generally said about the Capitol that the bill was drawn by a man who was not a member of the Public Utilities Commission. This man was not popu- larly believed to be too friendly W tn that the bill was more favorable to them than the bills of a similar nature that have been adopted in other states.
 Richard Howell. editor of the Herald, said he believed the bill as it stands has little chance of passing. The great public services are after it. The farm CTS have to a large extent been array ed against it. No state of the public mind has been produced adequate to offset the corporate influences
 The Bridgeport part of the agitation for the passage of the bill will be in the hands of a joint committee of the Board of Trade. Manufacturers As sociation and the Business Mems As- sociation.
 President F. W. Bolande announced that he had appointed the following as the members of the joint committee: E. l.. Graves, August H. Mackenzie, c. M. Cole. James Feeley and s. E. Vim cent. Later on in the meeting the ap- polntment was confirmed. Secretary M. E. Brewster Greene of the Manu- facturers' association said that the joint committee on the part of his as sociation was composed of F. J. Kings bury. Jr.. s. T. Davis. G. c. Edwards, E. w. Bassick and G. M Flames. Thomas H. Macdonald will head the appointees of the Board of Trade.
