After setting forth the fact that the

port takes up the bearing upon the
strife between Secretary Ballnger and
other officials of the government, in
Guiding several Of his subordinates, and
Mr.. Pinchot. who was dcposed as gov

Your committee finds that the in

nized by the committee which Endorsed

says. lit is plain that such Withdrawals

For questioning the validity, OF the CO.

within irrigation districts would be per-
mitted to pay a part of the charges
against them in WORK instead Of cash. the
committee said that Secretary Ballinker
had been assailed as an enemy Of con-
serva alton. In this connection the finding
of the majority was that ''he was fully
justified in taking the course he did. IL
he had done otherwise he would not have
been a faithful public officer The Sec
rotary held that the issue Of the GER

STAMFORD OLD GUARD
 IS FOUGHT Young Republicans Refuse to Make Their Peace With
 the "Ring''
 WILL SUPPORT DEMOCRATS Opposed to Ring Rule of Sheriff stagg, Judge Peck and Attorney Judson
WILL SUPPORT DEMOCRATS
Especial to The Farn1er)

Stratford, Oct. 29-At a meeting held last night the Republican Progress slves positively refused to make their
 peace with the 'Old Guard.'' The "Old Guard represented by the town conn
 mittee< of the Republican party in- Yited a committee of the Progressives
 to meet them at Hansons newstore The Progressives sent R. F. Axtelle, Attorney Ivan Warehouse, Meigs Rus sell and w. H. Crawford, Republican candidate for Representative.
 headed by Clayton m King 'n1edee St. John Blakeslee, informed the Progressives that the meeting had been called so that they might state their grievances gressives protested against the unfair methods that the "Old Guard" had conducted party caucuses.
 That they protested against the re- fusaI of the "Old Guard' caucus of fcers to entertain a motion for a bal lot for a chairman.
 That the Progressives further pro- tested against the custom of the 'Old Guard in voting for nominees by viva voce vote and denied the people ballot when it was requested.
 The Progressives said that another protest they had to make was the con- ttnua1 candidacy of certain men who were not the peoples choice, and the refusal of the old guard to allow the third party the right to make nomina- tions.
 Asked if there was anything else the committee said that it was dis satisfied with ring rule and the dom ination Of the ring by Judge Peck, Sheriff Stagg and Stiles Judson.
 The town committee asked the com mittee if the Progressives could not be induced to give their support to all the Republican candidates The committee answered that it was too late. That it had promised the sup port of it's organization to Ardon Judd, Democratic candidate for first Repre- sentative against Judge Charles H. Peck and it's support of John A. Dor didate for Judge of Probate against Charles H. Peck.
 Several of the members of the town committee agreed with the progress sives that it was too late to think of swinging in line against the ring, that and that nothing was going to be lost in wiping out the "Old Guard" and putting new life into the town.
 Besides MT. Blakeslee the other town committee members are Select man Charles H. Welleg. J. Henry w. Nettleton, F. E. Comine, Edward H. Beers, David L. Rhoades, Stiles Judson. Henry P. Stagg, Charles Sil- liman and F. s. Beardsley. p1ussed to think that it could not patch up matters with the new branch of the party. There was a story in circulation today that $250 of Good win money had been sent into the town. The Progressives state that, if Guard has got it although the "Old Guard is circulating the story that the Progress:ves are going to have the distribution of the money.

The Republican party has been long
 of the opinion that it has a class of voters who will not take part in a
 city election unless 1t raises a ques- tion about a red light district in the city.
 Yesterday Judge Edward K Nichol- son, former judge of the city court issued a letter as secretary of what he calls the Law Enforcement orga- nization. The letter as printed in the Republican press wsa about the f1l- thiest literature the public has ever been asked to read. It quoted the half world and many fathers and
 mothers after reading the article lost no time in consigning the paper to the household furnace for fear that it would fall in the hands of the chil- dren of the house. More poison was spread by the publication of the vile districts. The newspapers carried the local color of redlight districts to the homes in an effort to influence an election.
 A prominent Republican attorney said this morning, ''I never read such vile stuff. I am a Republican but if Judge Nicholson has the evidence in his possession that he claims to have why in the name of decency does he not turn it over to the prosecuting au- thorities. For 16 years the Republi- can party, or Wn1ch JuQge NICHOLSON, is a member, has been in control of both the city and cannon pleas courts. Why does he send his dirty literature to the Democratic mayor? He knows the mayor is not the pros ecuting authority. He also knows that the police department of the city will serve any warrants that is placed in its hands. He gathered his evidence in September and he waited until near the first of November before he makes it public The Law Enforcement lea gue if it was the level would pre- and not wait until election times: It is dodge that has been worked for years by either the Law & Order Lea get up interest and hide the corrup- tion in the party higher up. But it

Jeremiah Holmes, chairman of the No-1icense committee, issued a state ment, today, in which he takes eN- ception to the statement made by Po- lice Commissioner Kershaw, that con- ditions in respect of the social evil, are excellent in Bridgeport.
 MT. Holmes says he has been in some of the saloons and found them filled with women.
 He thinks the police should enlarge the detective department.
 A man who has followed the opera ton of the law ~enforcem ent league closely for long time said today:
 ''If the men who are financing the league would do their share toward improving social conditions fewer wo- men would be driven into the, path of social vice to eke out a living, for poverty, growing out of hard work and low wages is at the bottom Of that difficulty.
 If MT Nicholson and those other men ,who make such a loud noisa on the eve of any election which finds a Democratic administration in power mean business, and really want to suppress these vices which they say exist, and if the police force will not do it they have other remedies. The local courts are in the hands of Re- publican office holders, who are po1i- ticians, like MT. Nicholson. The state police is in Republican hands. The prosecutors are Republicans.
 Why doesn't MT. Nicholson have these people do the work which he says the local police ought to do and will not.

 Talk is cheap. but it takes action to prove sincerity.
 MT. Nicholson has still another rem edy, continued the speaker.

SALOON MAN AND COMPANION MUST
 FACE CITY COURT
Frank Herman and Mrs, Lena Herman Accused of Assaulting Motorman
 Hines

Upon the report of Dr. Maurice A. Greenstein that Frank Herman, the Bank street saloon keeper was unable to appear in court today, Judge Wild CT continued the cases of Herman and the woman who gave her name as Mrs. Lena Herman until next Tuesday when they will be charged with as- sau1ting a motorman.
 Motornan John F. Hines, with his head swathed in bandages, and Con ductor Arthur Mover, of the last car on the North Main street line. were in court to testify to the battle the two waged upon the trolleymen after Herman had been run down near the end of the line early this morning.
 Patrolman. Griffin arrested Herman and the woman. The charges of as- sault were placed against both, and they were released under bail of $25 each Herman was attended by Dr. Greenstein who reported today that he was badly bruised about the back. Prosecutor Redden was rather skep- tical as to the extent of the mans injuries when he heard that it quired two strong men to hold Her man back as he tore around after the motorman, and believed the claim of injury was preparatory to entering a claim for injuries against the troll ley company. But he consented to a continuance until Tuesday.

There must be some collusion be- tween the Law Enforcers and the Re publican party leaders,
 All over the city today could be heaEd the statement that the Law Enforcement league was playing a high handed game to influence the vote for Judge of Probate which office the Republicans are fearful of losing.
 Mayor Buckingham made Q public statement last night denodncing the attack made upon the police depart ment which has kept vice from spreading to all parts of the city.
 The mayor said today, Judge Mich olson's letter to me was not receiV- ed by me until after it appeared in the public press. The judge undoubt- edly gauged his time so that I would not have time to answer him in the same issue of the press that the let fee until o'clock yesterday He could have sent the letter by special delivery or phoned me that 1t was coming.

 Police Commissioner James H. Ker- shaw, a Republican, who has. made a study of the so-calIed Red Light District" condemns the attitude Of Judge Nicholson and the submerged Law Enforcement League Com Kershaw is quoted in The Telegram this morning as follows:
 "The allegations in the communi- cation false and thaV should be met with a denial. If the conmunI- cation was made public at this time for political reasons, all I've got to say is that it is i'll advised and inn proper. That is the only reason that I can see why the Law Enforcement

JUDGE WILLIAMS
 TO EXAMINE THE
 NORWALK VOTE
Ballots Submitted to Him Will Decide the Election Case Continued Until Monday.

Just 341 of the 1,169 votes cast ill the recent election held in Norwall< were submitted to Judge William H. Williams in the Superior Court yes- terday afternoon. This amount does not include 40 ballots which the counters agreed upon could not be counted for any candidate. The 341 disputed ballots were placed in 21 separate packages, there being that number of reasons why they were disputed. The court after listening to the reasons for their dispute, con- tinued the hearing until Monday aft ernoon of next week.
 The count so far as it is perfected gives Toomey, the Democratic candi- date for councilman 327 votes on the straight ticket and 59 splits, a total of 386, and Quintard, the Republican candidate, 326 on the straight and 76 splits a total of 4O2.
