CAREER OF R, R, MAN WHO IS TO
 HEAR OUR KICKS
Buckland's Experience Rid- ing Bucking Bronchos Will Stand Him In Good Stead Here.

Edward G. BuckIand, who is com ing to Bridgeport to find out what this city really wants in the way of trolley Improvements has had a most interesting career. He came to New Haven from the West where he had ridden range and served an appren- tlceship in the cattle business. He entered Yale Law School and took a special academic course. He married a daughter of the late Charles P. Clark, former president of the New Haven road.
 Buckland went into the office of George Watrous, then the head of the legal department of the railroad. He displayed wonderful penchant for work and in a short time he was elected to the vice presidency of the road and sent to Rhode Island to look after the legal interests of the rail- road in that state. Next he was sent to Washington and was intrust- ed with the task of looking after the interests of the road before the In- terstate Commerce Commission.
 He is now President Mellens right hand man and the acting executive head of the trolley department. He fixed up the trolley "kickers'' in New Haven and it is hoped that he will appreciate the needs of the Bridge port public.

FINE SHOW AT
 POLES THIS WEEK

Of the variety of good things offer ed at Poli's during the present week it is difficult to tell which proves the most pleasing. The opening act, which consists of Emile Lea, and William and Louise Lucifer, was a novelty that made an impression. The tr.o can sing little, dance more and are athletes of no mean order. They do some lofty kicking that is classy.
 The Howard Bros who are describ- ed on the program as wizards of the banjo, really are so. They juggle and play six banjos at the same time, and are musicians of a high class, and carry fine line of batter, so that their act is most pleasing. Wilbur Mack and Nella Walker, are Bridge port favorites. They are as satisfac- tory in their present skit, "A Musical Filtration" as they have ever been. per in ''Other Peoples Money" gives a clever anr realistic performance. He is ably assisted by Marie Haynes, Marjorie Cortland and Francis Fay.
 The Pays and the Coleys stormed the house with specimens of old fash toned minstrelsy, and new fashioned vaudeville. They sing, dance and do some unusually novel stunts.
 Not the least interesting act upon the program Is that of the Namba Troupe, which uses a setting of Jap be seen to be appreciated. One of the members of the troupe ascends flight of steps standing on his head, hands in the air. Niblo and Riley do some singing. which is excused by the fact that one member of the team is a clever dancer in the grotesque style.

RIVAL PIE EATERS TO MEET
One Aspirant Has Tried to Ring in a
Contribution of Pies With Crust
Loaded With Cotton.

BLOOMFIELD, n. Professions
al pie-eaters from all sections OF
New Jersey will assemble here to-
morrow night to compete for prizes
in the annual pie-eating contest to
be held under the auspices of James
T. Boyd Cornell, Jr., o. U. A. NJ.
Such keen interest and rivalry have
been manifested in the Forthcoming
contest that, to guard against con-
tingencies, the mechanics have ar
ranged to have an ambulance corps
and trained nurses in attendance.
Three prizes have been offered,
not to mention an unlimited supply
of pies, as inducements to competi-
tors. An idea of the difficulty of the
contest may be gained from the fact
that the third prize of 81 cannot be
awarded to any man who does not
eat at least twelve pies, crust and
all What the winner of the first
prize, So, must eat is the subject
'of conjecture. The favorite is Henry
Hermit of Hohokus, who has rec
ord of thirty-two pies. Jacob Her
zog of this town says he can beat
that record, but his friends are
chary about putting up their money
against the Hohokus man.
Those who are interested were in
dignant today when information
reached them that friends of an as
pirant for pie-eating honors who
lives in Arlington tried to ring in on
the committee a contribution of pies,
the crust of which was loaded with
cotton, upon which the contestant
might chew for three hours without
feeling ready to swallow it, Nor did
the crooked work attempted end with
that. From Newark came a contri-
button of mince pies They were
viewed with suspicion by friends of
the contestants. Examination dis
closed that the mincemeat was made
up largely of pieces of rubber, in
terspersed with gristle and tripe.
Such attempts to queer the pie
eating game only have served to
make the committee more cautious
and more determined there shall be
a fair deal. Peter H. Springfield, the
master of ceremonies, has ruled that
contestant may select any of the
many varieties of pies, and that he
may drink any liquid with them ex-
cept that which is alcoholic.

TEACHERS TO GET ALL DUE
Governor Brown Breaks All Records
in the Public School History
of the State.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Governor Brown
has taken steps to clear up the 1909
school fund. He expects to pay out
within the next few days approx
mately 100000 of last years school
money and the rest, $18O,0OO, will
be available to the counties to which
lit belongs whenever they want it.
This $4,000 represents an aggre-
gate of balances which a number of
counties have to their credit. By
dint of enterprise and thrift they
have gotten ahead on the school
fund, and have accumulated balances
in the state treasury which are held
subject to their orders and payable
upon demand.
So that with the payment of the
100000 all of the 1909 school fund
that is at present needed to meet the
claims of the teachers will have been
sent out from the treasury.
Following that some time early in
February, or possibly the middle Of
the month, Governor Brown will be-
gin to make payment from the 1910
school fund. In all the history of
the public school system of the state
no such record in the prompt pay
ment of teachers as this has been
made. and Governor Brown is being
widely complimented upon the
splendid business reputation which
his administration is making.
