FARMER DISCOVERS
 FAMILY HISTORY OF ORPHANED SOLDIER
Former Friend of His Fam ily Located Through Pub lication of His Story In This Newspaper.

Mrs. Gustave Scholz, 159 Hough avenue, is anxious to meet GottlIeh bier. the soldier boy from Fort Adams, Newport, who is here seeking information as to his parentage. Mrs Scholz was friend of the young soldiers parents and is probably about the only Bridgeporter who can impart to him the information he de- SireS.
 Young bier came to Bridgeport on a weeks furlOugh from Fort Adams determ ned upon finding whether he had any relatives living here. He sought information from the town clerks office where he learned he was born in State street extension in the West End, 21 years ago. When a wee child, he was placed in the Childrens home in NorwaIk as the result of an enhancement in his family. Later h's father died and when young bier came to be of an age when he was useful he went to work in Westport. ills mothers whereabouts is unknown.
 Mrs. Scholz read of the soldiers quest in the Farmer of Saturday. but when she went to seek the soldier to tell him of h S family she couldn't lo- cate him. She says Dier's father and her family were friendly. His father co+tlieb bier, died here in 1901. Mrs. scholz ras two photoeranhs of the man which she will gladly give to the soldier. Mrs. Scholz adds that young bier is mistaken in the belief that he has sisters and brothers here. for he was an only child.

 The prisoner was Edward Dunn, aged 14, who lives in East Bridgeport -and there was no evidence to the contrary of the stoning of the sym agogue, and admitting he had broken one window last evening, he said 1t was because he had misdirected

EAST SIDE CITIZENS
 CERTAIN MAYOR WILL
 GUARD THEIR INTERESTS

The East Side committee on garbage met in McNamara's drug store. Sat urday night. and decided to ask the Board of Health for further hear ing in case the board should desire to make any changes in the contract with Charles S. Fischer. of York. Pa, for the reduction of garbage.
 The Easl Siders take the position that the contract was made deliber- ately, after hearing, andthat it repre- sents the protection that should be given O the residents of the East Side and ought not to be changed merely because MT. Fisohers financial back CTS feel that they do not wish to com ply with it's terms.
 Said a member of the committee: "Mr. Fischer comes to Bridgeport rep res ing that he has an odorless process a process there is nothing in the con- tract he has signed that will do him the sliehtest injury. If his process is not odorless. and if he is merely say ing that it is odorless to get a con- tract then the East Side receives no more protection in the instrument to which MT. Fischer has attached his name than will be needed"
 It was the opinion of the members of the committee that the retention Of Clause 1s should be insisted upon This is the clause which gives right of action to the individual citizen
 Confidence was expressed that the interests of the East Side are safe in the hands of City Attorney Thomas M Cullinan and Mayor Buckingham: and that they will see to it that no change is permitted in the con .ract which has been agreed upon after much consideration. and which repre- sents every concession that the people of the East Side feel able to make. in justice to their homes and property.
 Ciy Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan said this morning that nothing has been heard from MT. Fischer relative to the contract. since the visit of the latter to Bridgeport. when he endeav- ored to have the agreement modified.
