 FOR BRIDGEPORT 1912.IS ASSURED
FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF BRIDGEPORT SOKOL CELE- BRATED IN NEW S3O,OOO HALL BADGES AND OTHER TOKENS AWARDED.

There is no doubt that Bridgeport will be designated for the next na- tional convention of the Slovak Gym nastic sokol, in 1912. This is the opin- :on oh the leaders of the branch of the organization. in Bridgeport.
 About 400 Slovenian people of Bridgeport sat down to a dinner in Sokol Hall, at g o'clock, last evening, thus marking, one of the phases of a celebration of the 18th anniversary of the Sokol founded for the benefit Of the Slovenian citizens, to encourage n1aintenace of the language and to train the young in morals and gym nastics. President Michael Tech was toastnaster. The supper was pre- pared by the lady Sokols under the direction bf Mrs. Dora iMihaly, as president.
 City Sheriff Joseph Kalafus told how 15 years ago nine members con- stituted the organization which has since grown to such remarkable pro- portions that it owns hall valued at S3O. .OGO and free from debt, in which is contained the second largest audi torium in the city. the armory alone having as much floor space.
 The arrangement committee consist ed Of Stephen Erha rdt. national pres ident of the organization; John Ia bak, Joseph Mihaly, Andrew Demosko and William Pramuka.

CHARITIES BOARD MAY HAVE TO ASK ,
 FOR $ll5,OOO.OO
Commissioners Make Visit to Lakeyiew Home to-day to Look into Crowding
Assembly Room Allotted to the UnfOr. innate Inmates of Institution is Alto. gether Inadequate, and Board Hesi. tates About Repairing Ancient Defec. tive Structure.

That the deficiency in the Board of Charities for the fiscal year ending April 1 may be between $22, 600 and $23'ooo seems likely from the figures prepared by Clerk Nevins for the com mlssloners at their meeting last night. The requisition is likely to be amended to a total of s115, ,09O as a. result of the discussion last night, and a further requlsltion may be added as a result or the visit this afternoon of the com
 nlssloners to Lakeview Home to look lhto conditions there. Clerk Nevins i estimates the average monthly cost of running the department for the cur rent fiscal year, and if the remaining three months keep up to the average the shortage may reach over $23,OOO.
 With the idea in mind of becoming famAiar with the congested condition or Lakeview Home the four members of the Board of Charities. President Kane and Commissioners Behrens, Foster and Somers, visited the insti- tuition this afternoon. It is planned to enlarge the assembly room allotted to the men of the home. According to the regulations the men must leave their cots and rooms during the day, and when the weather is bad they can not go utside. On such days they are. herded together in a stuffy little room, sometimes more than 200 in number, Where they sit on tables and lean against the wall because the room is so crowded there is no place for chairs.
 The Board of Charities hesitates about spending any money on Lake view Home, for the structure has long been inadequate to the requirements of city of the size of Bridgeport, and the commissioners regard any changes they may make on the building as only makeshifts at best
 Supt. Brennan, for many years con- nected with the Charities department, told the commissioners the chief diff culty in the finances of the depart ment is that the commissioners always figure on the lowest possible sum to carry them through the year when asking for their requisition, and on failing to convince the Board of Ap- portionment of the absolute necessity of all that is asked they find them selves short. The deficiency year af- ter year is thus explained.
 One of the unexpected features of the meeting last night was the pre- sentation of the resignation of Dr. J. M. Kiernan, night ambulance surgeon. He has been connected with the in stitution since last spring, and the commissioners received his resignation with regret. Dr. Kiernan says his practice makes such demands upon his time that he cannot afford to sacrifice every night at the emergency hospital for $40 per month.
 The commissioners spent upwards of an hour last night in the practical business of examining the cost of sup plies, in line with the policy of the board to conduct the affairs of the de- partment in the same fashion they would the business of private enter prise.

BIG FIGHT BEING
 WAGED TO REDUCE NUMBER OF SALOONS

Danbury is witnessing a big fight on the liquor question. There is an element there who say that the city has already too many thirst quench- ing stations, and want the number reduced. There are remonstrapces against IA saloons. Yesterday the County Commissioners listened to the evidence. There are at present 22 saloons on White street alone Six of these have been demonstrated against. This is in the midst of the so called Red Light district, the police authorities being among the remOnstrants. There were no specific cases touched upon, but they will be taken up individually on Monday to which time the hearing was con- tinued. The remonstrants- were rep resented by the prosecuting attorney for the city, J. Moss Ives, assisted by States Attorney Judson.

ROOSEVELT DEAL
 FOR COCKS SEAT
LONG ISLAND CONGRESSMAN DECLARES THAT TEDDY MUST FIRST SAY HE WANTS THE JOB
Especial from United Press.)


 Washington, Jan. 21-If ex-President Roosevelt wishes the seat ill the House of Representative now held down by Congressman Willetts Cocks of Old Westbury Long Island, he can have it for the asking. All he has to do is to say, William, please retire at the end of your present term,' and William will retire.
 'But he's got to say that he wants the job,' said Cocks today when ques- toned about the rumor that a "deaP' was being considered "I am not go- ing to throw up my job in the House just because some fellow says that he'd like to have Roosevelt in my shoes.
 Seriously speaking, however. ] rather doubt the yarn that has been sprung in this case. Neither MT. Roosevelt nor any of his followers have approached me on the subject and I should suppose that if they real ly wanted my job they would be de- cent enough at least to give me a re- quest"

your Swamp-Root did for me, believing
that my testimony may do some other suf-
fering person a great deal of good.
About six years ago, / was dangerously
i'll, consulted three doctors, all of whom
said l had kidney trouble. One Of the
doctors analysed my urine and reported
that I had gravel, and further said that
in order to regain my health and life. an
operation would be necessary. l did not
want to be operated on as l was afraid
that I would not recover. Someone told
me of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.Root and said
it was q reliable medicine for kidney
trouble, 30 / decided to try it and went
to Mr.. Rose, the druggist, at 1903 Central
Ave-, Minneapolis, and bought o bottle,
took it, noticed results and continued
taking it until l was entirely cured.
Having been free from any kidney
trouble for over six years, I consider that

Swamp-Root has the credit. .

your remedy, as / believe it is the best of
