CENTRAL BANK
 IS NEXT MOVE
 FOR ALDRICH

Washington, Nov. 15-Whether Senator Aldrich will launch his cen tral bank scheme, for the regulation of the cvuntrys finances, at the short session of Congress. is receiving more attention, just aI present, than any other question appertaining to the winters proceedings on capitol hill. Credence is given by persons in exc cutive and legislative circles, that tn Senator will, by bold stroke, under take to carry through the project. It will be his last chance, for at least two years, to deal with a Republican Congress. The succeeding Congress will not meet until December, 1913, and the life of the commission ex- pires by law in 1914. One Senator all probability, concentrate his influ- have a careful canvass made to learn the state of seneiment regarding the central bank. With a fighting chance in sight, he would then open the contest.
 zFThere are members of the mone- tary commission who believe that Aldrich will not make the venture and that, if he does, he will be de- feated. "The man does not .live,' said one of these members, "who is able to draw a bill that will com rnand the support of 25 per cent. of the Senate"
 Although the outlook, to the ordi- nary observers, appears dark for the central bank in some centers it is upheld for the reason that it would not be the first time that Aldrich was able to work legislative miracle.

Police Chief William Voll1ner o1 Norwalk, sheriff-elect of Fairfield county, may reside in Bridgeport or one of it's suburbs when his term of office begins next June. The chief hasn't decided yet.

Hallen's Classmate
 Equally Successful,

P. H. Sullivan solicitor-elect of Hillsborough County, Y. H., and Ed ward F. Hallen, Judge of Probate elect of the district of Bridgeport, classmates in the Nashua, N. H., H gh school,-have exchanged congrat- ulations on their mutual success in the recent election.
 MT. Sullivan and MT. Hallen have kept up their warm friendship of school days, and two years ago when MT. Hallen thrilled his former com rades with an eloquent address on Lincoln in Nashua, he was entertain ed by Mir Sullivan.
 Attorney Sullivan'S position corre- spends to that of States Attorney in one of the counties Of Connecticut Hillsborough county is the most popu- lous of New Hampshire, embracing the cities of Manchester and Nashua. Attorney Sullivan's success is a source of much qualification to Judge-Elect Hallen, who entertains great respect for the accomplishments of his class mate

RANCHMEN AND COWBOYS CLASH
 WITH MEXICANS
Latter Marching Into Texas to Avenge Burning of
 Rodriguez
Gov. Campbell Orders Rang CTS to Rush Overland and
 Prevent Trouble.
Especial from United Press.)

Rock Springs, Tex, Nov. 15-Eighty ranchmen and cowboys started from here. early today, to head off the force of 300 Mexicans who are march ing from Las Vacas, Mex, to avenge the burning of Antonio Rodriguez. The Texans are mounted, riding rap- idly to intercept the Mexicans. AS they advanced toward the Rio Grande they were joined by groups of men eager to aid them
 Rangers are being rushed here to prevent clash between the deter mined ranch men and Mexicans The situation is the most serious of the many conflicts on the border in many years. It is feared here that clash will mean fighting along the entire Rio Grande
 Governor Campbell, today ordered that troops be rushed here from San Antonio, but they will be of little aid in stopping the trouble, because a clash between here and Las Vacas means that the Mex:cans and ranch men will meet possibly within fifty miles of the border and beyond the reach of the troops.
 Austin. Tex, Nov. Ex-Governor Campbell, today, ordered the Texas Rangers to rush overland from Uvalde to Rock Springs, 50 miles, where a fresh outbreak is threatened over the lynching of the Mexicon, Rodriguez.
 The Rangers will reach Rock Springs about noon, tomorrow, under the lead- ership of Captain John R. Hughes, who for the last 26 years has been running down border criminals.
 The Governors action followed a communication with the sheriff of Edwards County, in which the Execu- tive was urged to engage the States armed forces in quelling disturbances along the border.
 The armed invasion of Rock Springs is in violation Of the neutrality law and an effort will be made to cap- ture and punish all the Mexicans pos- sibie who are engaged in the expe- dition.

THROUGH TROLLEY
 FROM BRIDGEPORT $ TO CITY OF BRASS
Direct Line From Here to Waterbury Via New Haven Begins Operation November 21

Bridgeport and Waterbury are to be connected by through line of electric cars so that it will be possi- city and not alight until they reach Waterbury. The new line will be put in operation on November 21. Cars will leave each terminal point every half hour during the day time and every hour in the evening after o'clock and up to II o'clock.
 The trip to Waterbury will be via New Haven and Cheshire, one of the prettiest trolley rides in the coun- try.
 The cars will enter this city by way of Stratford avenue for the time be- ing.
 E BARNUM AVE. NOT READY.
 The company is not prepared to an- nounce when it will begin to run cars over the new Barnum avenue exten- sion but 1t will probably be done be- fore Jan. 1.
 es TWENTY MORE NEW CARS. N At present there are 20 new double Four of them are now being equipped at. Hartford and should be on the tracks in this city by the latter part Of next week. These 20 new cars will make total of 135 double truck cars in first class condition on the Bridge port division. This places the di- vision in much better condition than it. has ever been to combat with the winter. The location of the car barns in the center of the city is going to help Supt. c. H. Chapman to give better service this winter than ever before.
 TO USE NEW BRIDGE.
 Within a week or ten days the company will begin to operate cars over the new Congress street bridge. The East Washington avenue bridge shows signs of weakening from the heavy traffic that is passing over it. For over two years this bridge has borne about one half of the travel be- tween East Bridgeport and the center of the oity. The structure is in bad condition and to have the bridge go out of commission without the Con- gress street bridge being prepared to take 1t ID would throw. all of the trolley traffic upon the Stratford avenue bridge which is already carry ing a heavy load each day. The conn., pany is now putting it's overhead wires and tracks on the approach into con dttion and Thanksgiving Day will probably see ears running over the now bridge for the first time.
