ARCTIC STREET BRIDGE STRONGLY.
 URGED BY FALLEN

Former Alderman Thomas Flynn, of the old Fourth Ward, who has led the fight for bridge across the Pequon- nook river, from Grand street to Arc tic street, was the principal speaker last night at the hearing upon the matter of appropriating money for ap- breaches to the proposed structue.
 Attorney Edward F. Hallen made an eloquent address in favor of the pro- ject. He represented prominent tax payers and had a map showing that the route was the proper one for the future development of the city.
 Henry R. Parrott spoke in favor of the Wakeley street layout in prefer ence to Arctic street.
 Judge E. K. Nicholson, representing J. H. Crossley, who owns some prop erty on Grand street, said the city could not build the bridge unless it paid heavy damages. He said that the city does not own to the harbor line on Grand street, but only to the shore.
 Attorney Henry Stoddard, for the Bridgeport Brass Co.,, opposed the inn provement because the company docks in the Housatonic river would be in- terfered with.
 Former Alderman John J. Morrlssey said that if proper steps were taken at this time it would insure the city a right of way under the proposed ele- vated tracks at Grand street.

HOSPITAL ORDERLY
 EXPLAINS AUTOPSY
Takes Live Subject for His Experiment and Plunges Knife Into Body.
Especial from United Press.)

New York, Jan. 1S.-Patrick owens today is dying at St. Vincent's hos pital because Joseph Green, an order ly at Bellevue hospital wanted to show how an autopsy is performed and took a live subject instead of a cadaver for his experiments.
 Owens told the police that he and his friend Green were in a cafe last night and discussed vivisection, autop- sy and other questions of surgery.
 Green explained all the intricacies of the operating room. How would you perform an autopsy?" asked Owens who didn't believe that a man of Greens professed skill with a lam cet would be on orderly instead of house surgeon. Here's the way you perform one," Owens declares Green told him, as he drew a keen bladed knife First you stick the knife through the heart-just like this-and he made a lunge with the knife that drove the blade deep into Oweng body. That's the way to perform an autopsy" explained Green, as he wfp- ed off the blade of his knife and made for the street.
 Owens sank unconscious to the floor. The police are looking for Green

the Olmypic A. C., New York, last night. Pal Moore, the Philadelphia crack bore the co1ors of America against Harry Thomas, the latest im- portation from British soil. Forum ately for the invader the fight was limited to ten rounds. At the end of that stage Thomas was about due to
 flop to the canvas from exhaustion.
 Moore had cut his rival to ribbons with slashing left jabs which he poked continually in the little Englishman's s face. In the eighth round the U. s. representative sent his man SpraWllng with a hard right hand to the jaw. From that period to the final gong Thomas fought on the defensive.
 Though defeated Thomas put up a grand battle. He proved himself a clever lad, but sadly lacking a wallop, He is a enchanted fighter, using a left hand to advantage.
 In a whirlwind finish at the Bedford A, c, at New York, last night Phil McGovern earned the decision over Joe Coster in ten furious rounds by a slight shade. It was a dandy scrap from start to finish. McGovern earned the verdict because he forced the mil ling in verey round and landed the cleanest and most telling blows.
 In the fourth round the ropes saved Coster from going down. At the start of the session McGovern uncovered a vicious right swing that landed flush on the point of the chin. Coster whirl- ed into a clinch and stalled the round out.

MID-AIR SHAM BATTLE BETWEEN PLANES
 AND BALLOONS
Especial from United Press. )

Paris, Jan. 1S.-PlanS for a-Spec- tacular mid-air sham battle between aeroplanes and dirigible balloons are being made today under the direction of War Minister Brun. The battle will take place in September, either on the Juivsy course near this city or a much larger aviation field at Rheims.
 Army dirigibles and army aero- planes, consisting of Wright bi-planes, BleriOt and Antoinette mond-planes and Farman flyers will maneuVer over an imaginary battle field. The light er-than-air machines and the heavier than-air craft will try for positions, each carrying munitions of war. The aeroplanes will be equipped with rapid fire guns and the crew of each will consist of a pilot and gunner.
 At present Minister Brun thinks the aeroplane of infinitely greater value as a war measure than the dirigible but there are so many per- sons who insist that the government should devote more attention to the latter that the sham battle has final ly been decided upon to settle the relative importance of the two.
