 MT. Mellen replied that it was diff cult to tell why some people would take a crowded car when right beh; md 1t were TWO or more empty cars
 He remarked that within the week he had been into Maine, New York and Massachusetts on business of his Ii some of those present could do his work for a time they would be willing to return to their own.
 Alderman H. H. Jackson presented figures to show that trolley delays have cost the workmen of Bridgeport wages. He thought they should be reimbursed for these losses. He di- rected the attention of MT. Mellen to the high steps on trolleys, to the noor lighting of the cars, to the.r de- fective ventilation, to the long waits between cars. He suggested that since the company has begun to make it's own cars at Worcester there should be no difficulty in having plenty.
 MT. Mellen then said that no money of his. or of his friends, or of the Worcester car plant
 Willis F. Hobbs, president of the Manufacturers association. suggested that line should be built along Railroad avenue. parallel with the workingmen in the factories south of the railroad viaduct.
 MT. Mellen replied that this propo- sttl0n would be investigated. In con- clud'ng the conversation MT. Nellen made the statements earlier c~ea'ted
 him in this article and remarked that when the railroad went into the trolley business it was obliged to take over water, gas and electric light compan es. He said that arangements might be perfected later whereby the road will get rid of these properties. He declared that he would welcome the time.
 In answer to one question by MT Cooper President Mellen said: "As Bridgeporters you want to remem- Der that you kept us hack one year not let us cross the sidewalks there so tl,at we could build car shops and car harms near the railroad station.
 ''The other troubles that we had were not distinctively power troubles but were operating troubles having to do with cars. We are now in the new shops and in better way to re- pair cars in Bridgeport than we ever have been.
 During the past four years we have spent million dollars m Bridgeport"
 MT. Vincent asked MT. Melleh if he approved of conductors depending on outsiders giving conductors the signal to go ahead when the conductors were in the midst of corwded car collecting passengers.
 That is a condition I heartily dis approve of and it should not be al- lowed to exist" replied MT. Mellen. Bridgeport will be the largest city in the state inside of a decade" was another statement made by MT. Mel len.

and % minutes later Curtiss made his
first stop near Poughkeepsie, where
there was an hours intermission. Re-
Stunning his fight at 9:26, he sped
southwark, and landed within the
boundary of Manhattan Island at 10 :35.
Paulhan's flight from London to
Manchester, Sc miles, exceeded the
Curtiss feat for distance, but not in
speed or in danger. The Frenchman's
average was 44.3 miles an hour and
below him lay English meadow land.
Curtiss followed the winding course Iof
the historic Hudson, with jutting head
lands, wooded slopes and treacherous
palisades. He swung high over the
great bridge at Poughkeepsie, dipped
at times within so feet of the rivers
broad surface, and jockeyed like fall
con at the turns.
Only once did his craft show signs
of rebellion This was off Storm King,
near West Point, when, at height of
nearly 1000 feet a treacherous gust
struck his planes. The machine drop
ped 40 feet and tilted perilously, but
Curtiss kept his head and by adriot
manipulation restored the equilibrium
of the machine.
With his eyes and brain cleared Of
the cobwebs of sleep, he went with his
mechanician and handful of specta
tors to Van Rensselaer, Island, in the
Hudson, three miles south of Albany,
where he was to start. Waiting at the
river brink was special train charter
ed by the New York Times for Mrs
Curtiss and her party. From the trail
they could not see the actual start, bu
those on the island witnessed a re
markable scene.
With the signal that Curtiss was off
the special train of five cars and a 10
connective gathered impetus and sough
to follow. But so quickly had he flow
that for 81 miles the locomotive, run
ming nearly mile minute, was un
able to catch up.

are cached there. He also intends to
bring back the two Eskimos who ac-
companied him on his dash to the Pole.

shall have recovered his records anc

Grain Fields Fire Swept.

Chico, CAL, May S1.-News has
been received here of the first serious
grain fire of the season, in Butte coun-
ty. 1t occurred 10 miles south of
Chico, on the farm of E. Davis and ad-
joining places, and burned over 800
acres of ripe grain, worth about $40,-
900. Some of the grain was insured.
Scores of farmers fought the flames
for six hours before its progress was
stopped. Many men were overcome
by the intense heat and smoke and had
to be carried from the fire, which trav-
eled almost as fast as man could run.

Annoy, China, May S1.-The price
of rice has risen so per cent and the
poor are unable to buy food. AS a
consequence Of this a demonstration
took place at Changchow.
Owing to the practical failure of the
rice crop in certain of the interior
provinces this year, an almost prohibit
tive price already prevails for the GER
cal. A further advance means famine
conditions among the teeming coolies.
whose principal article of food is rice.
