In his Inaugural address, President
John PAtten Of the Chattanooga Cham
Der Of Commerce, among other things
said: "One fact cannot be omitted.
The poverty Of reliable and attractive
literature relating to Chattanooga is
too well known to require comment.

almost everything which grows out
of doors In the temperate zone."
If the president Of the Hatties-
burg Commercial Club in his annual
address should take this paragraph
and substitute Hattiesburg and South

he would state the situation in nut

more appropriate term than poverty"

MEAT PRICES NOT CUT IN BRIDGEPORT
 BUT MAY BE SOON
Local Dealers Say That Drop in Kew York Market is Due to
 Special Conditions There

In New York city the price of meat has been very substantially reduced, from % to 9 per cent in most cases, according to stories and prices in the Metropolitan papers this morning. Bridgeport wholesalers and retailers agree that this change has not affect ed Bridgeport as yet. although one prominent wholesaler uttered a word of good cheer to householders:
 "I forsee a gradual trend down ward this year, he declared.
 The Farmers informant said that he believed that the sudden cut in-New York prices was a purely local con- dition, due to the fact that there had been a good market there and that the big shippers. seeking to take ad- vantage of it, had overstocked New York. Meat being perishable and Government inspectors active, he said, a substantial cut in prices was nec- essary to force an immediate sale. The condition is entirely local however and does not affect outside territory.
 New York authorities lay the de- crease in prices to the election of a Democratic Congress and the fact that downward revision of the tariff is now in sight. Another inn portant element is the fact that the corn crop this year is exceptional and

and that the director Of the squad
 informed him he saw no Colgate students who had gone to the game
 by automobile.
 With this unsatisfactory informa- ton CrOnan secured the sanction of his superiors to make the trip to Syracuse, Saturday, where Syracuse University and Colgate played game of football. He secured the field where the automobilists. were park ed, and his search proved fruitful. He ran across 9 big red touring car, with the upright steering post, and satisfied himself that he had the right machine. Then he enlisted the aid of the Syracuse police and inter- viewed a number of students who were at the game.
 Among them was one who admit ted that he had been in the car which Cronan singled out as that he Was seeking. The students admitted that the car had passed through Bridgeport the night DeMarinto was killed, but fixed the time at which the car passed through, some time their car hit anyone, they said they knew nothing of it. He added that they had stopped in Bridgeport for gasoline and for food
 Today investigation has turned to the home of the students. Further Long Island, the police are not yet ready to divulge it's whereabouts They are convinced that they have reached a solution of the mystery, but with the very apparent attitude of retfcence upon the part of the students they realize it may be sev- eral days before they have enough evidence to warrant action toward their arrest.
 At best, the witnesses who can tell of seeing the car speeding away from the accident can only describe the car and it's occupants in @ general way, all admitting their inability to identify the suspects. The police hope to find a garage where repairs were made upon the <automobile, though they have already covered practically every such place from Bridgeport to Stamford.
 Spurred to unusual vigilance by the tragic death of DeMartino, Supt. Birmingham has issued orders to all patrolmen to be on the lookout for automob obilists who are operating their cars without complying with the law requiring the use of tail lights to dis play the license numbers. Motor Cycle Policeman Gorgas is on duty nights now until a late hour, looking for such motorists as failed to com ply with the rear light regulation. Gorgas apprehended one such chauf- feur last night, but he was dismissed with a warning. He said his light had jared out. In event of further arrests, Supt. Birmingham says he will see that the offenders are brought before the court.

ARMED OFFICERS
 SEARCHING FOR , THREE BANDITS
Employees of Construction Co.
 Suspected of Holding up and
 Robbing Paymaster of $18,O

Great Harrington, Mass. Nov. 14-In charge of State Detective Thomas E. B1igh, 50 sworn deputies. armed to the teeth, today began systematic search of the camp where 200 or 300 Italian and Polish laborers, who are working on the electric railroad of the Woronoco Construction Company, are living. Though no new evidence has come to light. the searchers are more sure in their belief that the three ban- dfts, who held up and robbed Paymas- ter Rudolph Hein, of the construction company. keeping his two guards at bay by shotguns, until they had dis appeared in the woods, were employees and participated in the man-hunt. If they remained in camp today, as the detective thinks, it is not thought likely they will surrender when identi- fled, without desperate fight, and the attitude of their countrymen toward them fs problematic.
 Strengthening this theory is the statement of "Bill' Taylor, veteran Berkshire bear hunter, who traversed the whole swamp where the bandits were supposed to have hidden. He states that they are not there.
 In the meantime. another large party of searchers are beating about the woods in an effort to find some trace of the stolen payroll. Flurries of snow hamper them. The auditing of the books today showed that the Wor- onoco Company last nearly S1S,000 in currency and checks. No sign of the paper or notes has been found which might aid in tracing them.
 The Great Harrington Selectmen were scheduled to hold a meeting this afternoon, and it was expected they would vote $500 reward for the cap ture of the bandits, to be added to the $700 already offered by the company.

SKULL BROKEN
 IN A BRAWL
Police Arrest Two Alleged AS saiIantS and Third Flees to Europe-Saloon Keeper May be Held

Two men are under arrest charged with assault with intent to kill, a third has fled, probably to Europe, and fourth may be arrested for helping the third man to escape, as the result of the discovery by the police early today that a man was dying at 196 Church street from the effect of beating received more than a week ago.
 The victim is John Bialla, a native of Poland, aged 2, unmarried and boarding at 196 Church. He has con- cussion of the brain, due probably to a fracture of the skull. The two pri- soners are Joseph and Frank klZia, who live at the same address, and the fugitive is their uncle, John Kizia. All are laborers-
 The fight occurred in Enton Wotski' S saloon. at 200 Church street at s:3O Saturday evening, Nov. ,. The saloon was not crowded at the time. Just what caused the fight the police have not yet learned, but they do know that after it was over the men who beat Bialla helped carry him upstairs to his room, where he had been un- der the care of Drs. Gerber and Clem- ems since then.
 No information of the beating reach ed the police until about midnight last night, when a fellow boarder came into the Second Precinct station and told the story to Sergeant OConnell. He detailed Patrolmen Prout and Col gan to the. case and sent for Ambu- lance Surgeon McQueeney to examine the man. When pr. McQueeney re- ported that the man could not live many hours, O'Connell impressed Ser geant O'Leary into the investigation.
 Prout and Colgan soon arrested Joe and Frank Kizia, and learned that the uncle had fled with his clothing for CraeDS Farms
 OLeary and one of the nepheWs, went to Greens Farms in the early morning. seeking the uncle, the nephew protesting his innocence and volun- teering to identify the uncle for the They went to the farm of Louis Wakeman there, but found that their man had gone before them.
 From the investigation of the police, if was learned that Anton Wotski, the saloon keeper. had taken unusual pre- caution to keep quiet the story or the beating in his place, Prosecutor De- laney was asked to consider the ar rest of Wotski for shielding the gull ty men and abetting in the escape of Joiln K;zia, the fugitive uncle
 This afternoon Bialla was in a cri- tical condition. His death was mo- nentarily expected. The brothers were held in bail of $2.500 on the charge of assault with intent to kill when arraigned before Judge Foster in the City court. Their cases were con- tinued until a week from tomorrow pending the outcome of the police in vestigation.

GRADE TEACHERS TO HAVE PAY INCREASE: THEY FORM UNION
Teachers Committee Investigate Increase of $50 Kindergarten
 Department to One Instructor
Mass Meeting of All Teachers Will Be Held High School Hall Thursday Afternoon, to Complete Organization

The members of the Board of Ed ucafion have concluded to grant an increase in pay to grade teachers. The amount of the increase has not been determined, but will be at a meeting soon to be held. The amounts will be included in the budget to be presented to the Board of Apportion- ment and Taxation in February.
 In the meantime the grade teach CTS of Bridgeport have decided to form an association along the lines Of the association formed a year or two ago in New Haven. The object of the associa tion will be to better the condition of the grade teachers and to unite them for the object of ob- taining higher pay.
 The teachers anticipate some rel1ef from the board, but are not cOnvinc- ed that it will be a-S&tensive as is desired Tn this case the united de- fnand of the teaching force will be presented by a committee of the pro- posed association. amplfied with facts and figures, dealing with the cost of living and conditions in other cities.
 That the teachers do not intend to submit to conditions purely arbitrary is indicated by their action in a re- cent case, when the salary of a kin- dergarten teacher, employed on the East Side. was increased $50 to $650.
 This caused the primary grade teach CTS to rebel and a committee of four was raised. This committee visited the members of the board in an ef- fort to learn why this apparently ar bitrary increase was granted and by whom.
 The committee represented that the maximum that can be obtained by a teacher in the primary grade is S600 1t was also represented that the pri- mary grade Is perhaps the most diff cult to teach, that some of those en- gagged in the work have been em- ployed l3 years, that six years of pre- paration were required before the work of teaching could begin and re- spectfui protest was therefore made against the payment of more in the

Rev. Father James c. O'Brien. for
 mer pastor of the Sacred Heart church, this city, now of Stamford and several relatives in Pope To- ledo touring car, were injured when the car crashed into a tree a mile north of Paradise Green late Satur- day.
 Father O'Brien's widowed sister is at the parochial residence in Stam- ford today, suffering it is feared. from the possible internal injuries as we'll as many bruises and contusions. Mrs. NJ. M. Conroy, a relative of the party, escaped with slight bruises, while Miss Minnie Fleming, Father O'Brien's niece, and the chauffeur, Walter Greeney, escaped almost un- hurt.
 The machine was running towards Bridgeport when the rod connectinc the front wheels with the steering post snapped. Before the chauffeur could bring the car to stop it crashed into tree. Father O'Brien oc- cupied the front seat with the chauf- feur. Father O'Brien's sister sat on one of the folding seats in the ton- neau while Mrs. Conroy sat in the rear directly back Of her.
 Impelled by their own momentum, all three shot Lover the side Of the car. Father O'Brien was flung clear over the hood and struck in the road, way many feet away from the car. Mrs. Conroy was tossed over the side of the car. landing near Father O'Brien's sister, who had been thrown from the little folding seat
 Chauffeur Greeney and Miss Elem ing forgot their own shaking up and rushed to the aid of the others Fath- CT O'Brien was quickly on his feet and gave his attention to the injur- ed. Mrs. Conroy was not badly hurt, but Father O'Brien's sister was unable to arise. She had suffered an injury of the head that caused her much pain. She was carried to the turf bank and given restoratives, help be- ing summoned from a nearby home. After short rest all were able to take their feet and they boarded the first trolley car that passed.
 The -'achine, with it's hood crush,> ed in and its engine nearly demolish- ed, it's wheels knocked askew and it's headlights smashed, was dislodged from the tree after several hours work and brought into the city on the big auto truck of the Blue Ribbon then taken to the Bridgeport Go. for repairs The ma chine was formerly the property of a of Father O'Brien. NJ. NJ. Conroy, upon whose recent death it was bequeathed to the pastor of the church.

Through a piece of sllrewd detec- tive work, Sergeant Edward Cronan of the detective bureau has located the automobile that he is convinced carried the reckless young automo- bilists who ran down and killed John DeNartino, the Stamford, (Conn.) salesman, in Fairfield avenue, near Grove street, Saturday night. Oct. 29, and fled leaving their dead victim lying on the cu&b.
 Today Cronan is busy gathering ing the New York authorities to ar rest one or more students at Colgate college, Hamilton, N. r.. as fugitives extradition papers for the return of the suspects to Connecticut justice.
 Two of the students under suspic- ion are the sons of wealthy Long Island man, about whose home the activities of the local detective bureau are centering now, in quest of further proof of the identity of the young men as those who occupied the jug gernaut.
 Cronan has been working almost continuously on the DeMartino trag- edy since the night of its occurrence. NOne can De IOunO 10 Supply CnS number of the machine that wrought DeMartino's death.
 Cronan learned that the machine was occupied by four young men. bareheaded despite the sharp cold that the car was large touring car, with a straight steering post, and that 8 car corresponding to the de- scription with the same number of bareheaded youths had been seen bound towards New Haven Saturday morning, before the tragedy. Those who saw the car in the morning said it had a banner marked Colgate on it's hood.
 Bits of glass found about the scene of DeMartino's death and the speed at which the car was going when it struck DeMartino convinced Cronan that one of the sidelights had been broken, probably the one on the right side, a fresh dig in a telegraph pole at the curb, about breast high made him believe the car had been at least badly scratched if not ser iously damaged.
 Handicapped by lack of funds for the detection of criminals, the detec- tive bureau was unable to carry on an extensive search for the youths.
 The theory that prevails at police neadquarters was that the automo- bilists were students returning from the Yale-Colgate game in New Ha- ven. Cronan wrote to Elmer Burritt Bryan. president of the faculty of Colgate, asking for assistance. The president answered that the football squad had gone to New Haven under the supervision of one of the faculty.

 Attention is called to the fact that the largest American meat firms axs shipping some of the best Of their product abroad to be sold at the same price as here. despite the fact that the shippers pay 3-4 of a cent per pound to the steamboat companies for carrying it. It is said that tho big shippers have burriedly Ordered q cut in the price of meat in order to forestaI a possible reduction of the tariff on South American beef and Canadian and Australian mutton.

TOLSTOI MAY
 MAKE HOME
 IN CANADA Famous Russian Author and Daughter Are Now in
 Convent Abandoned His Wife and Son Because of PrivatiOnS Imposed by Them Upon His Tenants.
Special from United Press.)


 St. Petersburg, Nov. 14-Messages received today from Koyelst indicate that Count Leo Tolstoi will probably move, shortly, to Canada. to join the Doukhobors, D the religious fanatics, unless the grief of his wife induces him to return home.
 Reports that the Count has effected reconciliation with the Greek Cath ollie Church, from which he was ex- communicated when he wrote "Resur- rect1on'. have not been verified and are not believed. Tolstoi's later writ 1ngs have been in direct violation of the church teachings.
 Tolstof has found a temporary refuge in the convent at Koyelst. where his favorlte sister, Maria, has been a nun for a number of years. His daugh- ter, Alexandria, and his woman typist have joined him there
 It is probable that his flight despite its Suddenness, was long contemplated. His wife and son. who have been man aging his estates, have raised rents and reduced wages to the point of al- most beggaring the tenants. This was in direct opposition to the tear full prayers of Tolstoi, who believed in and who wished his tenants to have as much as himself. Then, too. in his spurning of money, Tolstoi refused to copyright an unpublished novel, for which he had been offered an immense sum, and declined to re- ceive the Nobel Prize when it was of fered him. Tbis conduct further es-- tranged him from his family
 The convent, where To1stoi has taken refuge, is one of the severest in the world. The 800 nuns do all the work, tilling the soil, building houses. shoeing horses and attending to the f1ocks.
 If Tolstof decides to carry out his determination to join the Doukhobors, in Canada, it is probable the govern ment will interpose no objection. Tol- stofs writings have made him feared by the authorities. but he was too powerful to be exiIed
