''MERELY MARY ANN' IS A PRETTY LOVE
 STORY WELL DONE

Every woman who went to see Merely Mary Ann'' at Polls last night felt repaid for being there. The play was pretty and pathetic, and well done. It contains a very beautiful love story, which has a satisfactory ending, but, alack and alas, though Mary Ann was pretty and tender, in dustrious, se1f-denying and wholly ab- sorbed in the hero, he never would have married her if she had not inner top of her rare but homely virtues It must be confessed that the hero does not show Up as an object of moral grandeur when he is compared with merely Mary Ann. But then he is only a man and it is well known that the meanest kind of a man is entitled to a wife who is at once young and beautiful, an excellent housekeeper; who is entirely devoted to him and who is moreover a good cook. If she has money. all the better. Really the keeping the hero so that he does not lose the sympathy of the audience. But the acting of John Ince, the lead ing man. was perhaps responsible for that He did his work very well in deed And so of Miss F'1eming,s whose astonishing versatility is growing upon the hearts of Bridgeport play goerS Her Mary Ann was really delightful characterization. Thomas Williams as Rev. Samuel Smedge, a country vicar, contributed his share to the sue Hammond Daley. as Lord Nottingham, of the automobile club. did his work along the high level Of excellence he has maintained hitherto.

Minister and New

 Over City's Morals
Special from Unted Press.)

Special from Upted Press.)
 New Haven,June S--Denouncing the sermon delivered in the Grand Avenue Congregational church Sunday by Dr. Sheath as ca mass of untruthS, ' Chief Cowles of the New Haven Po- lice department hurried to-day to the defense of the New Haven morals and said in emphatic terms that the min ister did not know what he was talk ing about.
 Rev. Sheath declared that there were two thousand prostitutes living in New Haven and that "serious minded men are considering whether it is not time to license the evil for moral welfare of the community"
 Chief Cowles said the minister is ig- norant of conditions here. The policy of the police of New Haven is to keep New Haven clean of such women There are no such places here. The worst factor we have to contend with is New York street walkers who come here and it can be shown that the po- lice are active to an unusual degree in stamping out the evil. There are no permanent places of evil character and transients are promptly driven from the city.

From the attention and study which the committee has been able to devote to the subject of the methods of the Board of Charities, the committee has arrived at a conclusion that no sus- picion rests upon the actions of the Board of Charities. or it's individual members. requiring a further investi- gatiOn. It is, however, the opinion of the committee that a thorough reor- ganization of the business methods of the Board is necessary, and for this reason the committee has possibly ex- ceeded the directions of the Common Council in the resolution of May 3, 1909 in thus laying before your honorable body the facts which have been herein set forth. It is only fair to the Board to call your attention to the peculiar difficulties in. the management of this Department. The support and care of the poor in a respectable and decent manner is not only necessary by req son of the law of universal humanity but is made mandatory by the statute law of the state. regardless of cost. Sudden and violent fluctuations in the amount of charity which it is neces- sary to dispense render the estimates for future appropriations uncertain, and occasional deficits are unavoid- able. There is a large amount of de- tail in the purchase of supplies, and the oversight of the Department, which devolves upon the Board. If, however the difficulties are great there should be a corresponding degree of care in the business methods of the Board, and to render the conduct of the Depart ment successful there must, in the opinion of the committee, be a. Sys- tematic reorganization of the business methods of the Board. While deficits in years of abnormal business condi- tions are unavoidable. they are, in normal years, inexcusable, and can be avoided by a definite method of com putting the cost of maintaining the De partmont.
 Contracts, so far as possible. should be open to public competition. The custom of allowing members of the Board to contract with the Board should cease, except when safeguarded by public competition. The system of checking weights and quantities of all commodities should be extended and perfected.
 Such reforms should be instituted and carried out by the Board of Chari- ties under the guidance. if necessary of an expert in business systematiza- tion, and are neither within the pur- pose nor scope of a committee of in- vestigation.

 OPPOSEOIL STORAGE

ARE WILLING THAT L.. B. SILL
 MAN SHALL CARRY A STOCK
 OF 30 BARRELS OF KEROSENE,
 BUT NOT 300 BARRELS ON HIS

 The majority of the property owners in Water street were the signers of a petition sent to the Common Council last night asking for the revocation of the license given to l.. B. Silliman to carry a stock of 300 barrels of kerosene at his place of business. 516 Water street. Several years ego Chief Mooney protested against the carrying of so large a stock of oil in the center of tbe city, but the Common Council granted the license as none of MT. SiIliman's neighbors complained about the fine danger. Recently the insur- ance underwriters looked over the froperty and raised the rates of all the proI erty owners in the street, doubling the rates of those nearest the oil depot. The insurance men say that a fire in the building with an east wind would fill Water street so full of fire that there is no telling where the damage would stop.
 The remonstrants make no opposi- ton to MT. Silliman carrying a. stock of 30 barrels of oil. The petition was referred to the Ordinance committee.
