SMITH SCORES IN ROW WITH RIVAL
 AUTOMOBILE MAN
HIS MAN DISCHARGED WITH AZ. TERMATH OF FIGHT COMES
 BEFORE COURT.

He Employs Special Cop to Keep J.
 D. Carpenter From Swinging Elec-
 tric Wires on Garage Roof Smith
 Rented From Carpenter.
 J. Armstrong Smith scored a. point in his controversy with John D. Car penter, owner of the building occupied by the Bridgeport Automobile Co.,. of which Smith is proprietor. when the two employees of the men were tried in the city court today for assault. Smiths man, Harry Welch, was dis charged by the court, found not guilty of assault, while Samnel Randolph, the negro who sought to push Smith aside While Carpenters men rigged up elec- tric wires over the garage roof. next police headquarters, was fined $10 and costs.
 Attorney William H. Comley repre- sented Smith in the city court, and Att torney Greenstine appeared in the in- terests of Carpenter. The case was vigorously contested at every step, and tits between the lawyers were fre- quent. Smith was determined upon getting his rights, and he made no bones about it when he was testify ing.
 Greenstine entered an appeal for Randolph, and the negro was liberated under bonds of $75 for his appearance in the court of Common Pleas.
 Last night the garage was guarded by Special Policeman Mitchell. who re- mained out all night keeping watch lest Carpenters men should try to string the wire over the roof under cover of night. Yesterday the wires were strung from Fairfield avenue through the alley leading to the rear of police headquarters and into Car penter's new garage. The wires sag considerably owing to the long stretch without any supporting cross arms, but they will answer the purpose.
 Although civil action was threatened by Carpenter yesterday to secure the privilege of placing cross arm on the garage roof, no such steps have thus far been instituted.

 washington, Jan. 6. Richard Achilles Ballinger-victim of mallcl- ous, Irresponsible and totally unmerit- ed criticism.
 Is. R. Glavis-a megalo-man1ac With an exaggerated sense of his own i'm pprtance and a desire for personal ad- vRnceTent.
 Thus does the Attorney General of the United States dispose of the fla mou6 charges of misconduct in office filed against Secretary .of the Interior B9dlinger.
 These characterizations are from the rkport and summary by the Attorney skenerai on the statement of l.. k. Glavis, presented to the Senate today by President Taft in response to a resolution passed just before the holi- day recess by the upper house, re- Questing the Executive to transmit all papers, reports and documents in his Possession relating to the charges made by L. R. Glavis, former chief of the field service of the General Land Office ion the Cunningham coal claims in Alaska, and such other information as he might have regarding the Ball. linger-Pinchot controversy. It was upon this report, by Attorney General Wfckersham that President Taft wrote his so-called "white-wash' letter to Secretary Ballinger and authorized the immediate dismissal of Glavis. The Wfckersham report was given to the President on September Il but since that time 1t has been carefully guard ed.

BEACH OFFERS TO
 WORK AT ANYTHING
CENT A DAY AND DOUBLE TIT FOR 30 DAYS-HOW MUCH WOULD
 IT REALIZE?

Would you go to work for cent a day. and toll for month providing your salary was doubled every day thereafter? Perhaps you'll say not, at first thought. David s. Beach, of this city, won't agree with you how ever, for he has advertised in the metropolitan dailies seeking work at almost anything, being willing, he says, to work for a month for a cent a day the first day, with the amount doubled every day thereafter. Well, if MT. Beach gets such a job, and his employer makes good, he'll be worth in the neighborhood of ten million dollars.
 Figure it out. One cent the first day, two the second, four the third, eight the fourth, etc., and add the various amounts and at the end of thirty days, you'n find out just how ambitious that man Beach is. He says he'll start at the bottom and work up. It will be hard work, for a few days. but hte finish will be great.
 MT. Beach hasn't yet signed a con- tract with anyone.

p. m. to- a. m. he will patrol the beat from Golden Hill street north.
 He will be succeeded by Patrolman James Dooley. The latter has not been in the best of health for some months, and the change in detail will give him an opportunity to recuperate. Patrolman Dooley has an excellent rec ord.
 The seven patrolmen last appointed will go on day duty for the first time under the new detail.
 It is the custom to rearrange the change of detail every two months, this giving an opportunity to divide the day and night work among all members of the department. It is Mayor Buck ingham's idea as well as the idea of the new police board to allow Supt. Birmingham to make out the assign ments of men without interference from the commissioners. For several years the members of the police com mission have taken an active part in the arrangement of the details, by way of suggestions and the like, to the su- perintendent of police.

A E OF T.. GETS PRESIDENT
 TAFT IN STEEL FIGHT
fSnecial from United Press.)

Washington, Jan. GA committee of the American Federation of Labor today involved President Taft in the fight which the Federation has begun against the United States Steel Cor poration. The committed headed by Samuel Gompers presented to the President for his consideration a lengthy letter charging the Steel Trust with breaking the law and demand ing it's punishment.
 The President agreed to investi- gate.
 The first charge is that the United States Steel Corporation is an illegal combination existing in defiance of the laws of this land. Other charges follow:
 That it is accommodating hundreds of millions of dollars by excessive and exacting and exhausting stint of toll from laborers and by reducing the masses of it's employees to rate of wages insufficient to provide for the American standard of living.
 That it degrades labor by low wages, 12 hour work day and a seven day week.
 That it's products are made in reck- less sacrifice of human life and hu- man blood.
 That it prevents the organization of it's workers to elevate the standard of living
 That i. denies the right, recognized to workers by law, to form associa- tions for the promotion of their in- terests. That it suppresses and pre- vents free speech and public meet ings.
 That it boycotts American Labor and insists upon submissive foreign labor
 That it is organized illegally, domi- nant and defiant with no respect for legal rights and human rights, with brutal indifference as to human cap- acity for endurance and death and injuries of it's toilers That it's continued existence and methods are menace not only to laborers but to business yet outside of it's power and particularly to the perpetuat1on of competition. Gompers, after the conference with the President said that the President had agreed to take up the matter with Secretary of Commerce and La bor Nagel, and Commissioner of La bOr Neill.

l. almost hanging on by their teeth. Some occupy seats on the rear lenders outside the cars.
 To collect the nicldes from the thou sands of riders the company has to depend largely upon the new men. TO operate the cars the company has to depend largely upon new men, who soon leave because the wages and con- ditions are not pleasant.
 When the company discovered that the local factories were taking away it's men it decided to do something to hold it's recruits, and then it posted it's guaranty of $10.50 a week to all new men who reported for duty and worked one hour a day.
 But when summer comes again the company will have less trouble in get- ent prices. The only effort the com pany makes to reward long service is to give the oldest men the pick of the runs.
 There are only eight men who have been in the employ of the road over F years.
 For the past ten days Supt Chap man and his men have been up all hours without sleep fighting against the clements and crippled rolling stock.
 Enquiry at New Haven found that Bridgeport'S suburban lines were open- ed up and in operation long before the Westville and other suburban lines running out of New Haven, which were kept closed for four and five days by the storm.
 It is understood that the Connecti- cut Go. is beginning to feel the scare ity of men in New Haven. and that the street railroads in New York city have been feeling the shortage of rail- road men for many months. The chief causes of the men quitting is said to be the seven day week and the irregular hours that motormen and
 conductors have to work. A great hindrance in the operation of cars in Bridgeport is the drawbridges.
 Every line in the city with the excep- tion of the Oak street and North Main street crosses a drawbridge. This in-
 cludes the suburban lines coming from the east. Frequent openings of the draws raises havoc with the schedules and time tables and on days when there are many vessels passing through the bridges it is impossible to main tain anything like a regular time ta,- ble.
 The ice storm of last night put a strangle hold on all lines this morning, and it was not until after 10 o'clock i that the cars were making anything like headway. Hundreds of factory employees were made late in arriving glade of ice which coated the pave ments made it impossible for the peo-
 pie to walk and the car wheels could
 not get a contact on the rails.
 The travelling public declared that the cars on some lines were 45 minutes late. Supt. Chapman was asked by a reporter how late the cars were He
 replied that the latest he had found the cars on any line was one-half hour
