OFFERS A SIMPLE
 SOLUTION OF THE
 HARBOR TROUBLE
George w. Finn Proposes Practicable Plan of Bulk
 heading Yellow Mill Pond

George W. Finn, the we'll known real estate dealer, thinks that Bridge ports harbor difficulties may be solr- ed very easily and his plan also an- swers the question of providing a new city market place.
 MT. Finn proposes simply that work which should have been done seven years ago shall proceed at once or as soon as possible: i.e., that bulk heads shall be placed around Yellow Mill pond above the Yellow Mill bridge, to keep the mud from crowd ing into the channel. Concrete bulk heads, with concrete backing are fav- ored as the most substantial and practica ble form. This project would practically give Bridgeport @ new harbor, and the broad space at the foot of Waterview avenue would af- ford an excellent market place. with the advantages of water front.
 The city of Bridgeport claims to own a frontage of 600 feet on Yel- tow Mill pond but this claim is dis puted by D. Fairchild Wheeler, who says that the land in question is his. He has taken the matter to the courts.

HILL REPRESENTS ONLY MINORITY
 OF THE VOTERS
Is in Same Boat With Elected Candidates For State Office Democratic and Socialist Vote Added Form Majority of
 Those Voting /

The compiled returns of the Social ist vote indicate that not a candidate elected upon the state ticket in the last election is majority candidate.
 From the governor down each is the choice of an actual minority of those voting.
 The pluralities ranged between 5000 and 5000.
 In the case of Republicans elected the Socialist vote of some 13,0OO add ed to the Democratic vote creates a majority of the voters in opposition.
 The reverse is true in the case of Democrats elected on the state ticket
 In Fairfield county Congressman Hill, whose plurality of 13,3 320 in 1908 was reduced to 2,S1S by Lynn ". Wilson, is the choice of a minority of the voters of Fairfield and Litch- field counties by more than 2,O00 votes, inasmuch as the Socialist Dem ocratic party cast in the district 4,820 votes, and the Socialist Labor party and the Prohibition party few votes also.

LODGE, LIKE
 TEDDY, IS MUM Gov. Elect FOss Demands That
 He Quit in Interest of
 Common Veal If Lodge Docs Not Withdraw as Candidate For Reelection to U. s. Senate Foss Will Stump Every Nook and Granny of State Against Him
Especial from United Press.)

Boston, Nov. 21-United States Sen ator Lodge today refused to make any comment on the statement of Cover nor-elect Eugene N. Foss, warning the senior Senator not to seek reelection, and declaring that if he does he F'oss) will stump the State against Lodge in a campaign that will make the one just over look like a picnic.
 Lodge was at his headquarters con- ducting his campaign today, but re- fused offers to hear the Foss state ment.
 ''I have no desire to have it read to me. I am not going to be dragged into any controversies. It is very kind Of you to tell me about it. but l must decline positively to say a word about it''
 It was only few years ago that the sage of Nahant, in complete control of Bay State Republican politics, read F'oss from the party. Lodge. in re- thorough going member of the Demo cratic party where Lodge advised him to go, demanding that he retire to pri- vate life Politicians called it an irony. Foss' statement is the first o1 it's kind ever issued by a Governor eject or a State, and he declared to- day 1t was only the result of a con- viction that the people of Massachu- sets are overwhelmingly against Lodges return to the Senate.
 ''1f Lodge had opposed me for the Governorship." he declared, ''instead Of Governor Draper. I would have re- ceived double the plurality by which was elected
 Foss. in his statement, says: "1 de- mand that Henry Cabot Lodge surren- der his seat by withdrawing from his contest for reelection. If he does not know that he has been licked to 8 frazZle'. some friend had better tell him. His election would not be a Re- publican victory for the people.
 Senator Lodge must either get out, ' he closes, "of his own accord. or be forced out by the positive demand of the people. I earnestly hope that the legislators will not commit themselves until public opinion has thus had full expression"

An ...- -..--... n.iIisr.


 When Frederick built his famous palace of Sans Souci there happened to be mill that greatly hampered him in the execution of his plans. and he asked the miller for how much he would sell it. The miller replied that for long series of years his family had owned the mill. which had passed from father to son. and that he would not sell it for any price. The king used every solicitation. offered to build him a mill in a better place and pay him. besides. any sum he might de mand. but the obstinate miller still per sisted in his determination to preserve the inheritance of his ancestors.
 Irritated at last by his conduct. the king sent for him and said in an an- gry tone:
 'Why do you refuse to sell your mill notwithstanding all the advantages have offered you?"
 The miller repeated his reasons.
 'Do you know" continued the king. "that I could take it without giving you a penny?"
 ''Yes." returned the miller calmly. eff 1t were not for the chamber of justice at Berlin"
 swer. which showed that he was inca pablo of an act of injustice, that he dismissed the miller without further entreaty and changed the plan of his garden.

NO STADIUM YET VISIBLE
Project Hopeless Without Gift of $7O0,000 Say Members of
 Yale Advisory Committee
TERMED POOR INVESTMENT
Figure Deficit of $1O,OOO a Year Would ReSult-NO Se- riOus Danger to Present Stands

There is not the slightest chance of Yale getting a new football stadium like that at Cambridge, within the ] next two or three years at least, unless
 some person comes forward with a gift of something like s70O,000," said one of the members of the Yale Athletic Ad- visory committee last night. The agl- tation for a concrete stand has been given new life by the discussion of the two fires which were discovered in the wooden stands last Saturday when panic might have resulted in the death of thousands. It is evident, however. from the statements made by members in touch with Yale affairs that the
 present outlook for a new stand is very discouraging.
 Prof Theodore s. Woolsey, another member of the advisory board, agreed with the previously quoted speaker in regard to this matter. He said that he saw no chance of getting stadium
 association with funds for its con- struction. He stated that the Harvard amDhitheater was constructed on funds given to the athletic association by one of the graduate classes and said that this was the only way Yale can expect to secure one.
 One of the members of the commit tee in duscissing the matter said that it would take about $7O0,000 and that such a stand could not possibly be made to pay for itself. The stand would seat 5O,000 and would mean an annual income of $100, ,000, half of which | would go to the rival team. The in-
 terest on the $7oo.ooO would amount to $35000, leaving but $15,00O for general expenses. The committee member es- timated that under that method the association would lose about $10,00O a year by the project.
 He said he didn't think there was any serious danger from fire in the present stands. He called attention to the prompt way the blazes had been
 extinguished by one fire patrol which
 was at work under the stands during the game. Everard Thompson, man. ager of the Yale ticket department, | while admitting that a new and bigger stand is needed, agreed with the others | in the opinion that it would be loss. He said he believed $500, ,000 would be
 sufficient with which to start con- structing the stand but saw no way of getting such a sum.
 L. w. Robinson, the architect, who drew plans for proposed stadium
 which was submitted to the advisory committee and who has charge of keeping the present stands III proper shape, said that he believed the pres- ent stands are safe enough from every thing except fire. The stands are | thoroughly overhauled every year, he stated, and all timbers which appear to be weakened in the slightest replac- 1 ed. He was asked if there was not ] more danger of fire now than ever be- | fore as the timbers are more seasoned but answered in the negative. He said that most Of the finberS had been in for at least 10 years and stated that they were probably sea- ] soned as much as possible after the l first year.

PHILOSOPHY OF BEER MUG
Socialists Indignant Over Denun- ciatlon of Their Faith by Arch
 bishop Glennon
Especial from United Press.)

(Sp6Cldi ITOL1 OLlll6u 1T0SS.J
 St. Louis, Nov. 21-Socialist members at the American Federation of Labor convention here are indignant today over a denunciation of their political faith as a philosophy of the beer mug", by Archbishop Glennon, of St. Louis, in a special address to labor men.
 'T want to warn you against Christ ian Socialism and Christian Science" !" said Archbishop Glennon. 'It is said of Christian Science that it is neither Christian nor scientific. By the same token, Christian Socialism is neither Christian as Christians believe. nor So- cialism as the Socialists understand it.
 1T believe the working people should against interruptions capitalism. But remember. there are certain rights of the individual that the State cannot take over. One of them is the right of the individual to control himself. And we utterly abhor the doctrine that the little children who bless our homes shall be wards of the State-common property.
 "When some men become discontent- ed or unable properly to provide for their families, they go to the nearest saloon and, under the spell of the beer mug and wine glass. create a phil osophy of class hatred. I warn you that the beer mug and the wine glass are enemies of society. If the saloon stands between you and God, the Sa- loon must go. Beware of the phil osophy of the beer mug"

stated today that he believes that something should be done toward
 bulkheading Yellow Mill pond bu-
 doubts that it is within the province
 of the city to force the owners to go
 ahead with the work. Nor does it
 seem to practicable to go ahead with
 the work and charge it up to the
 adjoining property owners, as is the
 case where street is built or a sew CT laid.
 On the other hand the government engineers for this district have warn ed the property owners along the Yellow Mill pond that unless they go
 to work and bulkhead the pond, the
 government will not spend one cent more towards enlarging and main
 taining the channel there.
 Seven years ago the governm ent expended a big sum dredging out the pond. Owing to the negligence of the property owners in failing to
 bulkhead the pond, the mud has been allowed to slide back towards the center and the channel is gradually being obliterated.
 MT. Finn's plan proposes tn It bulkheads shall be built and that the mud from in front of them shall be
 pumped in back of them, thus clean ing the channel and filling in the shores of the pond. Engineers de-
 clare that his idea is a good one and offers a reasonable solution of the difficulty.
 Bridgeport's last issue of better ment bonds provided several thou
 sands of dollars for the purpose of erecting bulkheads on the pond. All this money was used in connection with the building of the new Con- gress street bridge. Mayor Bucking- ham stated today that when the city's dispute as to the ownership of the water front property is settled he will favor the immediate bulkheading of
 the citys share,-that is, if the courts decide that the city has any share,- as an incentive to the other owners along the pond.

WALL STREET TODAY,

New York, Nov. 21-There was an absence of business in the stock mar ket at the opening. and selling orders could only be recovered at concessions of about one point. At the low level, however, buying orders appeared. and an upward movement was soon in pro- greSS.
 Il a. m.-After losses ranging around one point. the market assumed stead fer tone and the recoveries were fairly we'll sustained during the first hour. The lower range was attributed wholly to London influences.
 Government bonds unchanged; other bonds dull.
 Noon.-The market became dull in the last half of the forenoon. and price movements were confined to small fractional range. Some of the spec ialties that had shown strength in the first hour. receded slightly. At mid day the majority of the stocks ranged slightly under Saturdays closing.

FRESHMEN

Fitzgerald, New Secretary, aRe. nOWned Irish SchOiar-NeW
 Officers Elected

Ex-Alderman Thomas O'Brien pre- sided over a large and enthusiastic meeting held in the United Irish So- cieties Hall, yesterday, called as a1l- nounced in an issue of Saturday to speech of Ireland.
 Language he said, "was the life and soul of a Nation as it ensIlrined its literature and traditions, and if Irishmen let their language perish they would sink from a place among the Nations of the Earth and become instead mere province of England.
 Tt was a mistake for Irishnen not to use their mother-tongue when they met. They had the oldest literature manuscripts in the older universities in Germany and France were execut- ed by Irish scholars in the earlier Christian centuries when the people of England were mere naked sav- ages trying to push back the Roman invasion (appsause.)
 Irlshmen' he said in conclusion, should be proud of their language and their country
 Patrick Cuddy the new alderman of the Tenth District stated it was a hopeful sign to see the young men of Ireland hard at work resuscitating the language of their fathers. As a po- to checkmate and counter English influences it had proved more potent than the dynamite used by the men Of AS and '67, (applase.) The resusci- tation of their language and the con- sequent embarrassing of English off cials and officers in Ireland would cause England as much trouble as the nra Ina oh I1 were up against the same problem in South Africa as the plucky Boers had forced their own Dutch language into the Cape Parliament.
 A motion to continue the Irish classes conducted in Bridgeport for animously.
 J. J. Mccarthy. County President of the A. O. H. was unable to attend He sent his resignation as chairman owing to increased duties with other Irish organizations. Patrick Dolan was elected President and Captain James Carten was reelected treasur- CT. For secretary John Fitzgerald a young man who had been a prominent worker in the Gaelic League in Ire k land and now located in Bridgeport was chosen.
 He had represented Bridgeport at the big Gaelic Feis or festival held in
 
 for an original poem in Gaelic be- sides beating competitors from every State in the Union in reciting Irish folklore tales.
 J. J. ONer said Irishmen could be found at the head and tail of every movement in Bridgeport but they would not put forth the same efforts in any movement working for the re- generation of their own race. They should all give their whole-hearted support to the Gaelic movement that was working on broad lines for the up- life of their Mother land. J. Riley President of the Second Division A. O. H., recounted recent visit to Ireland when he found young and old alike speaking Gaelic and several Gaelic magazines and papers beside plays and dramas being enacted in Gaelic Several other members spoke and the meeting was adjourned until Sunday next at 3 D. m.

Told to Earn His Own Salary.

Commodore Vanderbilt discovered in James H. Rutter. then in the employ of the Erie railroad. a man he believed the freight department of the Central needed. says the Baltimore News. It is related that some time after he took charge of the Central's traffic office Rutter called on the commodore to submit plan for improvement.

 "Rutter. what does the New York Central pay you S15.OOO year for?"
 The reply was. For managing the freight traffic department"
 And then the commodore said. Well, you don't expect me to earn your sai- ary for you. do you?"
 Rutter went out and carried through his plan on his own Judgment. The re- suit was highly satisfactory. Rutter became president of the Central.
