CLAUDE GRAHAME :
 RUFFLED A BIT
English Aviator Challenges Moissant for Race Over Any Course and Side Bet of $1O,OOO.

Belmont Aviation Field, L. l., Oct 31--Indignant at the action of the aVia- tion committee, in making rule cipation in the Statue of Liberty flight. Claude Grahame-White this afternoon challenged John B. Moissant for a flight over any course the latter might select, for a side bet of 0,O00. The English aviator appeared in the press box this afternoon declaring he had been unjustly treated and that the rule had been purposely changed to give the $10,0O0 prize to an American.
 "I hereby challenge Moissant for a flight over any course the latter may select, for a side bet of $10,000,'' he said. ''I know I can beat him and the aviation committee knew it too, when it made a rule keeping me from flying again.
 Grahame- White was asked whether he intended to protest against award ing the prize to Moissant. He shrug- ged his shoulders. Whats the use?'' he said. My protest would be over ruled. They have overruled them all in the past.''
 It was suggested to Grahame-White that he might fly over the course to- day in faster time than that made by Moissant and then, have the Royal Aero Club of England enter a formal demand for the prize. '"The same of ficia1s would time me- he said. '"They are doing all in their power to throw the prize to Americans"

WILL EXPOSE THOSE TALKS OF CHANDLER
Bridgeport Candidates to
 Show Up Fallacies Spread
 By Self, Seeking Outsider

Exposing the fallacies spread broad cast by C.. B. Chandler, the self-seek- ing Republican spellbinder, speeches will be made by Lynn W. Wilson, Democratic candidate for Congress man from the 4th, and Attorney F. F. HaHen, Democratic nominee for Judge of Probate in the Bridgeport district, at number of noon-day meetings at Bridgeport factories this week.
 Tomorrow at noon in front of the Singer Sewing Machine company's fac- tory on Barnum avenue, MT. Wilson Chandler in his speeches about the city, and will prove that the inspired orator of Republicanism is making a number of claims for his party that are entirely ignored in the Republi- can platform.
 Workingmen should make it a point to attend these meetings and get the true light On the brand of political gulf that the Morganized orator of the Republicans has been passing out at the Bridgeport factories
 They will learn for one thing that there isn't a good thing for which Chandler has been shouting that isn't lifted bodily from the Democratic Hcan platform and that Chandler in his speeches and J. Pierpont Morgan's Cousin Charlie in his billboard ap- peals are campaigning on claims which their party repudiates-
 WOrkingmen will furthermore note that the Bridgeport. speeches are to be made by candidates who are before the electors of Bridgeport and are not made by paid outsiders with mercen- ary motives, who have not the slight est interest in Bridgeport beyond that of cornering the gul1ible vote and earning their fat salaries.

New York, Oct. 31-Unless the pres ent strike of wagon helpers, employed by the various express companies about New York, is speedily settled, the most serious. labor tie-up in re- cent history Of the country is believed certain.

 Behan was born in Pittsffeld. He is about 30 years of age and of large stature. About six feet tall, he weighs over 200 pounds. Three years ago he went into the employ of the Stanley family. M ss Stanley immediately soon 1essened the distance between them socially, until her family saw that she preferred the society of her chauffeur to men of her own set.
 The opposition from her family made Behan's position less and less tenab1e and he gave up his place in the Stanley garage, and earned his living running a big automobile of his own. The machine she gave him. She gave him fer handsome machine, in which their romance had grown, and all summer he has carried parties a bout the Berkshires, making a good living for himself All this despite the protests of Miss Stanley's friends and relatives including her sisters and brothers.

 Meredith was running a Stratford avenue car due at the center of the city at 8 o'clock. At Avon Park a crowd of foreigners got aboard the car. All were smoking and crowded the rear platform so that passengers could not get in or out of the car. Meredith requested them to step into the car and they paid no attention to him.

GOODWIN'S WILD APPEAL TO THE
 LOCAL FIREMEN
Reveals the Fact that There Is Gubernatorial and Pres

 port.

The latest dodge of cousin Char lie" Goodwin to win votes is to ap- peal to the fremen of the State to vote for him through a printed cir cular in which he takes the credit of having alone and almost single handed obtained some legislation for the f1remen of Hartford On Saturday there was circulated through the fire department of this city a circular printed in large black faced type en- titled What the Bremen Want
 At the top of the circular is a cut of Engine Go. No. of Hartford. The circular states that on February 12, 1906 that the members of the Hart ford Fire department petitioned the city council for an increase in the number of days off duty each month and to have the annual vacation ex- tended from seven to ten days.
 Tt was at time when Bridge port and other cities in the State were increasing the time off duty of the firemen but the circular states, .eThe committee in charge consulted Chas A. Goodwin who was generally recog- nized as the Republican leader of that honorable body Ghe Republicans were in the majority and he, MT. Goodwin, assured them that what they request ed met his hearty approval and he would not only vote for the increase but would use his influence among his Republican colleagues to do likewise.
 "The result was that the f1remen got what they asked for by a unani- nous vote of the council!
 s'The Charles A. Goodwin, whom the Bremen of Hartford feel grateful to, is now the nominee for Governor on the Republican ticket.''
 If Charles A. Goodwin is entitled to be elected Governor because he se- cured three days more vacation for the ffremen of Hartford his co1ea gues in the Hartford common council should cast lots to see who will be the next candidate on the ticket. Their turn should come next If getting few days for the fremen of the third city in the State, makes gubernatorial timber then there is Presidential timber in the common council of the Second city in size where the aldermen saw to it that the frenen were raised from $1 900 to $1,2O0 per year. Money talks and MT. Goodwin's kind act in giving the fire men fair treatment in Hartford does not compare with the kindness of the Bridgeport aldermen.
 If MT. Goodwin will go back in his career further than 1906 he may find that during his Sunday School days that he contributed a nickel to a for eign missionary society. This ought to entitle him to the vote of all the foreign born citizens in the State.
 It looks as though MT. Goodwin was as clever as his cousin John P. Nor gan in keeping account of the crumbs that he lets fall from his table. MT. Goodwin would make an admirable recorder of events for the local Kind Deed club.

cation followed. The majority of the gang pitched into the conductor. He received number of blows about the head and after he was knocked to the floor he was kicked in a most cow ardly manner.
 The gang then jumped from the car and fled. Passengers on the car car ried the unconscious conductor to the side of the street and resuscitated him. The car was stopped at a point near Sixth street. The conductor was re- moved to his home suffering greatly from the shock after he had regained consciousness. A substitute conduc- tor had to be sent to complete his run in from Sixth street.
 The railroad company has not re- ported the matter to the police. but is Investigating the case through it's own employes.

DEMOCRATS KEEP
 SECOND PLACE ON
 VOTING MACHINES
Attorney General Decides to This Effect-LocaI Lead CTS Not Much Disappoint- ed.
(SneciaI io Farm CT.

Norwa1k, Oct. 31.-Attorney Gen. eraI John H. Light mailed to Town Clerk William Thomas of Bridgeport today an opinion relative to the de- signation of levers upon the voting machines used in the next election. The statutes state that the party win ming the last general election should be entitled to the top lever. The Democrats carried the last election in Bridgeport and many Democrats were of the opinion that the victory en- titled them to the use of the top lever. Town Clerk Thomas asked for the opinion and Attorney Light gives one to the effect that the term Gen eral election" applied to the last Republicans will be entitled to keep the top lever. The Democrats will use the second lever the same as they have done since the machines have been in use.
 City Attorney Thomas M. CuIlfnan who advised the party leaders from the start that the party would have to keep the second lever said this afternoon that he thought it was good policy for the party to keep in the same row so as voters would become accustomed to it.
