played their own compositions. There
were two pianoforte and two violin
solos and several numbers In which
both took part, says the writer. The
account of the entertainment also

IS PORTION OF
FIRST DISTRICT
TAX ILLEGAL

A meeting Of certain members Of
the Board of Apportionment will be
held in the Office of Attorney John
c. Chamberlain, this afternoon, to
consider the grievances entertained by
certain citizens of the First District,
who believe that charges have been
made against the district which should
be solely against the Second district.
A mandatory Injunction to restrain
the collection of the tax in the First
district has been talked of by some
property holders. 1t seems unlikely,
however, that the matter will get as
far as the courts.
The dispute amounts to this. The
charter provides that the cost of GER
tain specific items may be charged
pro rata to the First district, and such
other expenses as the town of Bridge
port could have charged, had it re-
manned a town.
If it should appear that any of the
items in the First district budget do
not fall in either class that item
would probably be illegal and WOULD
have to be cut out.

CARRIED TODAY
CurtisS Declares That He Will
Allow Venture Only Under
Ideal Conditions

At press hour today it seemed very
improbable that any passenger-carry-
ing flights would be attempted today
at the aerodrome.
Glenn III. Curtiss stated that he did
not think it at all advisable to load
down the aeroplanes with an extra
passenger and Thought that the bomb
throwing and rifle shooting stunts I'M
Ger the supervision of Lieuts. Ellyson
and Fickel should be postponed until
tomorrow.
I'VE have but two machines here"
said Mr. Curtiss to a Farmer reporter,
land do not think it is a good plan
to attempt any passenger carrying I'M
til the last day."
Mr.. Curtiss worked at the aerodrome
from 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon I'M
ill o'clock In the evening, tuning up
the engine of McCurdy's machine.
Many of the spectators who express
ed disappointment that McCurdy's
flying yesterday was not more spec
tacuiar. did him a great injustice. His
engine was working very poorly and
sine after time he was obliged to put
down just at the start of promising
flight
The trouble lay in the carbureter,
which was not feeding the proper mix
ture of gasoline and air to the motor.
Consequently McCurdy wasn't getting
the necessary power and had to make
a number of hasty descents.
Mr. Curtiss looked over the machine
and discovered in an instant what was
the trouble. A pipe from the water
jacket which is supposed to pass
around the carbureter for the purpose
OF keeping it warm, had become dis
connected and the rapid evaporation
of the gasoline was freezing" the
mixture.
Under Mr. Curtiss' direction the
necessary changes were made in the
machine and he gave the matter his
personal supervision for three hours.
constantly testing the engine until 1t
worked to his entire satisfaction.
with the aeroplane in good order,
McCurdy Is on the cards today for
some of the spectacular flying for
which he Is noted.

JAMES E. DUNN
CAUSES. ARREST
OF HIS WIFE

The following Philadelphia dispatch
in the New York Sun of today tells
OF the latest of many incidents of the
eventful career of James T. Dunn, a
former Bridgeporter:
To end a scene that he says his
wife started in the Mint Arcade yes
terday, James t. Dunn, head of a
novelty agency here, had her arrest
ed.
At a hearing in police court, today,
Mrs. Dunn was discharged. She gave
her address as GIG West 116th street,
New York She said that her arrest
was the result of visit she made to
port on the advice of her attorney,
Judge Warren of New York. She told
MAGISTRATE Scott that her husband had
gone through her fortune Of half a
million dollars since they were mar
ried and that now he did not support
her. Mrs. Dunn declared that her
husband had run away with Mrs.
Holme wife of Judge Leicester Holme.
These charges were denied by Dunn,
who said that when they were married
Mrs. Dunn had only 100000 which he
said was left to her by her first hus-
band.
Last evening my wife called at my
office in the Mint Arcade and created
q scene;'' said Dunn. 'tShe called me
pistol. for time and again she has
threatened both verbally and in let
tiers to blow my head off. She was
creating a disturbance When the po-
liceman arrived and I ordered her ar
rested.''
Dunn admitted that there was a
divorce action in New York. He de-
MED that he had squandered his wife's
money. He said that he had separat-
ed from her in San Francisco, where
he was a hotel keeper for a while.
In 1908 Mrs. Sarah Rogers Dunn got
into print by attacking Mrs. Leices-
ter Holme, wife of the former Judge
on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City.
James Dunn, who at one time kept a
hotel at New Haven, was with Mrs.
Holme when Mrs. Dunn charged up
on her. The two women pulled each
others hair.
Mrs. Dunn came from San Francis
co. where she was the wife of Dixie
Rosenbaum and inherited his money
after he killed himself in 1890.
She spent much of it furnishing the
ST. Francis Hotel in that city and had
Dunn come on to manage it for her.
The two soon married.
Leicester HOlme was last heard of
as living in Paris. He was secretary
to Hugh J. Grant, when Grant was
Mayor.

A SNOW STORM
D. P. Porter Recalls Voyage on
the Cambridge-Old Veter-
ans Reminiscent

New Haven, May 12-Many are the
stories that are now being related Of
so years ago when the New Haven
One of these veterans was D. P Por-
ter, the we'll known elevator man in
the building in Orange street occupied
by the Board of Education. Mr..
Porter was living in Massachusetts in
1861 and today he recalled sailing from
Boston with the First Massachusetts
battalion so years ago last Sunday,
on the old side-wheeler Cambridge.
The ship was an old tub and lily pre-
pared for an ocean voyage and came
near drowning the entire outfit. AS
it was, the Bay State soldiers had a
perilous and most uncomfortable voy-
age to Fortress Monroe.
The battalion went forward to the
defense of Washington and later went
further south and participated in sew
eral engagements, although they were
only three months soldiers. Mr.. Por-
ter says that while it was on May z
that the Cambridge sailed, she en-
countered a severe snow storm which
lasted much of the voyage and I'M
periled the ship in the thick weather.
Mr.. Porter is member of Admiral
Foote Post, G. A. r. and recalls the
events of the Civil War with great in
tereStl
Il remember at the first battle of
Bull Run that the people came out
from Washington in their carriages
and on horseback to witness the bat
tie, which they thought would be just
a picnic for our forces" remarked one
of the local veterans who participated
IN that affair, today.
THAT reminds me of similar condi-
tons down on the Rio Grande border
just now he continued.
ST see the people are going out in
automobiles and in carriages, from
the American side to witness the Mex
lean fights In the Bull Run battle, 1t
was a reaNfght, however, and our side
did not do sup the rebels as they ex-
pected to. And some of the spectators
were glad to turn around and run
back to Washington. although veter-
the war say that Bull Run was not
much of fight after ALL"
Although the number Is lessen1ng
with every year, there are still many
veterans residing here who were at
the first Bull Run. And there are sons
of veterans, who a few years ago went
down to the Bull Run battlefield with
the army of instruction and went over
the same ground where their fathers
fought in 81 There are others who
remember the excitement in New Ha-
ven when they learned about that bat
tie They were led to believe then
that the rebels meant to fight and that
the unpleasantness, as it was later re-
ferred to- would prove a matter Of
bloody battles and great suffering on
both sides before the Union was re-
stored.
