A. T. & S. Mills Open Up Today After Shutdown
 of a Week for Repairs

After a weeks shut down for re- pairs to machinery and a, general overhauling of it's billet mill, the open hearth plant in the East End and the hot rolling mill in Howard ave- nue, the management of the Ameri- can Tube & Stamping company call ed in its usual working force and resumed operations today.
 The peculiar nature of the business carried on by this concern makes necessary the almost continuous day and night operation of the machinery in all it's mills named. The shut down was not because of lack of bus mess but was made imperative by the constant wear and tear entailed on the operating machinery. The cold rolled mills in Hancock avenue have been running night and day as usual during this period.
 With the resumption of busin ess operations the managem ent of the company reports the outlook for bus mess exceedingly good. The mills that have been closed all started to- day on the usual working time with the usual working force.

Still Trying to Put a Saloon in Southwest
 Section of Bridgeport

The long and earnest fight which a number of liquor dealers have been putting up to place saloon in that part of the city south of the railroad viaduct and west of Park Avenue will have another inning in the Superior court tomorrow when the appeal from the County Commissioners in refusing the transfer of the license of Patrick Mcclure from 84 Green Street to 447 Gregory Street, will be heard. Time and again the County Commissioners have listened to the remonstrance of the manufacturing interests in that To- caIity and have upheld them in every instance. Even when appeals have been taken to the Superior court that tri- bunal has upheld the commissioners In every instance the application has been refused on the grounds of unsuft ability of place.
 The remonstrants in the present case are the Bridgeport Malleable Iron CO, The Crane Valve Co.,, The Deoxidized Bronze 6 Metal Co.. Bridgeport Hard ware Co.,. Palmer Betting Co., F. D. Hemingway John Bonner William J. Grippen and Henry c Hoffman.

Chief Mooney Investigates Incend1ary Fire Which
 Occurred on Ellsworth St.

Chief Edward Mooney is to-day in vestfgatfng a very suspicious fire in Ellsworth street last night where small vacant cottage was discovered in flames shortly before o'clock. The frebug left a bottle partially filled with turpentfne and a half can of ker- osene oil The fire was extinguished with chemicals. The house is owned by Frank Balog and a peculiar co-in- cfdent connected with the fire is that man owning nearby house says he was told by the owner about two weeks ago that he wished the house would burn up. From the combusti- bles and a heap of rubbish found in one of the rooms by the firenen it is quite evident that someone was help ing the owner to get his wish.
 Some of the neighbors have the de- scription of a man who was seen in the neighborhood shortly before the fire
