BLIZZARD COMES
 SCHOOLS CLOSE
Bridgeport in Hands of Sec ond Driving Snow Fall of Winter is Much Incon- venienced.

Bridgeport is in the hands of a promising young blizzard today. The weather report indicates that 1t may. be an old and real blizzard tomorrow, because either rain or snow Is indi- cated throughout the night. If 1t is snow the three inches which had fallen at 2 o'clock this afternoon may readily grow to foot or more. The trolley service became involved in difficulties early in the day. Supt. Chapman did the best he could con- sidering the nature of the equipment that has been provided for him and the number of men in the service who are not familiar with the work.
 The snow was accompanied by a driving wind, which drifted the frozen rain in inconvenient p.aces and with out any regard to the equities. One mans walk was left clean as on a May morning, while smother needed a snow plough to dig himself out.
 The harbor was filled with craft seeking refuge. The schools were clos ed for the day.
 The stiff northeast gale accompany ing the storm must have swept across the Sound with unusual violence, for the steamer Park City. plying between Port Jefferson and this city. and due here at 10 o'clock. failed to arrive all day. It is believed the trip was aban- doned. Along the local water front the storm was not violent, the north east winds having little effect along the northern shore of the Sound

MILKMEN SLOW IN COMPLYING WITH
 NEW REGULATIONS

Out of nearly 1sO milk dealers in whose routes are in this city, only four have complied with the new by laws governing the distribution of milk recently adopted by the Board of Health governing the distribution of milk. The health department off, cials, among whom the bylaws were framed, are determined the new rules will be enforced to the letter, for they declare there is nothing in them that should not be there, and that the milk dealer who fails to live up to the rules is deserving of arrest.
 All milk dealers who do not register with the Board of Health and supply information as to the sources of their milk supply before Feb. 1, will be sub- ject to a fine of not more than $25.
 The by-laws further provide that no milkman who sells milk from which any portion of the cream has been re-s moved, without so labelling the milk, shall also be subject to the same pen- atty. This covers the cases where milk7nen have removed all the cream the milk will yield beyond that re- quired under the test to which all milk is subjected under the law

zanesville, O., Jan. 14.-The efforts of counsel for Howard Chandler Christy, to introduce in the divorce proceedings brought by Mrs. Christy for possession of their daughter Natalie. evidence purporting to show improper relations between Mrs. Christy and her chauffeur were only partially successful today.
 Probate Judge Smith refused to al- low several questions asked by Chris ty's chief counsel, F, A. Durban.
 Charles F. Hall, MT. Christy' s brother-in-law, testified that MT. Christy openly avowed his suspicious of Mrs. Christy and her chauffeur. A year ago New Years eve, Hall said, Christy. declared his wife was out un- til 3 a. m- The witness made a grudging answer to a question and Mrs. Christy, seated between her two attorneys, leaned across the table to- ward her husband and missed, 'You dirty pup"
 Christy ignored her absolutely. Hall said Mrs. Christy had called her husband Damned irritating" On cross-examination Hall admitted that he had often seen Mrs. Christy in an .sexhilarated condition from intoxi- cants. but denied she had ever been drunk. Referring to his personal en- counter with Edgar PerQy, CnrlSry chauffeur. Hall said he warned Perdy to let Mrs. Christy alone"
 Halls testimony frequently devei- oped spirited features. To one Ques- ton shot at him by Attorney Durban he clenched his fist and said: "You wouldn't ask me that outside"
 Court made him answer the ques- ton, which concerned his relations with some of Christy's models.
 Mrs Christy's gestures toward her husband were dramatic. Time and again the big brown eyes filled. Chrlsty's attitude during the examfna- ton was of indifference. Occasional ly he made whispered suggestions to his counsel.
 He did not look at his wife.
 Mrs. Christy herself planned to take the witness stand, as a climax in presenting her side of the case, large- 1y to defend herself against charges which she is anticipating. Christy win make against her. Their attitude in court shows that neither will spare the other in their contest for the cus- to4y of the child.
 Mrs Christy's counsel introduced a deposition by Dr. Edward Tull of New York, that Christy two years ago was confined in a New York asylum while temporarily insane on account of habitual use of intoxicants.
 CEristy's counsel shortly afterwards e11cited a statement from, E. K- Deck CT, of New York. witness for Mrs. Chrfsty, that she herself had onces been sent to the Kee1ey Institute at White

IN BATTLE FOR A CHILD SUBSCRIPTIONS OF PARENTS

Wife of Howard Chanler Christy Noted Artist Alleged to Have Been Fond of Her Chauffeur = Counter Charge of Wife that Artist Showed Endearment for His Models.

Plains, N. Y.
 Decker was Christy's model for his famous Hearts Triumph pastell. He said that Christy, in various con versations spoke of a fondness for Pauline Dean, a well known New York model. He told about Christy kissing and fondling Violent, a IA year old girl
 Mrs. Chirsty visited Natalie at the home of Christy's lawyer last night. The father made no objections. The scene between mother and daughter was affecting. Mrs. Christy did not remain long. Natalie is being closely guarded by her father.
 Christy will depend largely on de- positions taken in New York to sup port his contention that his wife is unfit to take charge of the little girl. His two models, Miss Fanshon Brill and Nell Talbot, now living at his studio at DEncan's Falls, near here, will testify in his behalf.
 The testimony of Mrs. c. F. Hall, Mrs. Christy's sister, today, was a repetition of that of the others con of an instance in Christy's New York home where the artist interrupted a children's party given by Natalie. Christy, witness said, had been drink ing and frightened the children. Chris ty who was seated behind his chief .cOunSel, smiled at the teStrmOny. Mrs. Christy, directly across the table from him, leaned over and said in loud whisper, ssYou recall that alright, don't you Howard?" The artist shook his head and smiled.
 Hall followed his wife. He related an incident when he, Christy and a woman model, participated in target shooting in Christy's studio. Asked to describe the costume of the model, Hall said:
 "She was in her stockings and shoes, that's all,'
 That was one Sunday afternoon. Another time, Hall said, Christy bit woman model. The artist had bad fonth which tore fha rnoda1,s flesh

MULLEN'S MOVEMENTS ON NIGHT OF DEATH
 HIDDEN IN MYSTERY
POLICE INCLINED TO BELIEVE THAT DEATH WAS DUE
 TO FALL.
Still Trying to Learn What They Can of Doings of Dead Man-Cap is Still Missing and No Trace of His Money Found.

of Doings of Dead Man-Cap is
 Still Missing and No Trace of His
 Money Found.
 While the police department is in clined to believe that the death of James H. Mullen was the result of a fall rather than of an assault, the de- tective bureau has not relaxed in it's effort to explain away the strange cir cumstances surrounding the discovery of the drivers body in the rear of Broch'S restaurant and cafe. 870 Main street, on Wednesday night.
 The police are endeavoring most of all to trace his movements on the night of his death. The body was found at o'clock just after death. They have not traced his movements to later than o'clock in the evening. when ". H. Plumley overheard him declare he had plenty of money as he walked south in Main street, below State street, with a woman whom the police ara still seeking.
 Another object of the policial quest is the cap worn by the dead man. He had heavy cap of a gray mixed ma- terial, of the sort that most drivers wear in the cold weather. All his clothing except the cap has been found
 If the death was not due to foul play as the police believe, the arrange ment of the mans clothes is another strange feature. This the police ex- plain away on the theory that the man was assaulted but not fatally hurt, climbed to the top of the stairways in the rear of the tenements over the res- taurant, removed part of his cloth- ing, then descended and fell striking on his head. The concussion of the brain they hold was the result of his fall, not of the blow that caused his swollen eyes.
 Mullen's watch has been found, It was in his room at PAT State street. But nothing can be learned of the whereabouts of his money. He said he had enough to live on for several weeks, in conversation a few days be- fore death, and on the night of his death was seen to have a roll of bills. His pockets were torn and empty when the body was found.

 Admitting he had slashed. Phillina Augustine in fit of jealous rage, and looking unmoved upon the blood stained bandages that swathed her face and throat, Angelo Musco, la- borer. aged 25, was held in bail of $5, 1000 for trial in the Superior court on the charge of assault with intent to commit murder, after a prelimin- ary hearing in the city court today.
 Musco has no hope of securing bail. Without friends or even acQuaint- ances in court, the center of hateful glances from all who gazed in sym pathy upon his innocent victim, he paid little heed to the proceedings in court, and told his story in a me- chanical sort of way. Neither he nor to hear their story the services of Donata Della as interpreter were needed.
 Phillina was carried from the Bridgeport hospital in the automobile patrol wagon this morning, accom- Sergeant Hackett. Only yesterday two score stitches were removed from her wounds, and this morning, when she reached the city court room, the blood was trickling from beneath her bandages. That she had suffered much was apparent. Such of her face as was visible beneath the band ages was deathly pale when Court Officer Finnegan supported her to the witness stand and helped her to a seat.

She left her boarding house in Hamilton street, Wednesday morning, Jan. 5, to go to work. Walking through East Main street, she was overtaken by Musco, who drew his razor and at- tackled her without a word of barley.
 Musco admitted he had attacked the girl. He denied a statement at tributed him by Captain Arnold, that he had cut the girl to mar her fea- lures that no other man would wed her. He said he had become very angry because she refused to marry him, and in sort of madness had set upon her. He admitted the wea- pon he used was a razor.
 Musco was taken from police head quarters to be photographed for the rogues' gallery. Since his arrest none has called to see him. He is appar- ently without friend in the city. The girl was taken back to the hos pitaL Musco will await trial in the Superior court in the county jail.
