Reckless Driver,
 Danger to White
 Wings, Fined $50

Faster than any lightning express you ever saw said Thomas Brown, a white wing, describing the speed at avenue, rode a motorcycle through fairfield avenue, at 4:15 yesterday afternoon when Bicycle Policeman George Hayes arrested Bender for reckless driving.
 Attired in the uniform of street cleaners, Brown detailed graphically his narrow escape from being struck by the speeder. He said he was sweeping the street when the ma- only a small space, a foot or two, he said, between where he stood and the course of the motor cycIist, and the wind from the machine blew his hat off. If he hadn't leaped as the ma-
 chine flashed into his vision, he would have been killed, or at least, he said l put out of business"
 Bicycle Policeman Hayes testified that Bender was hitting between 40 elares he wasn't going over 15 miles, and said that because he was run ming with what is known as free engine" the motor cycle made a great racket, and gave spectators the impression that it was going much faster than was, really the case.
 When Motor Cycle Policeman Cor gas testified that last Friday night he warned Bender about driving reck- iessly, Judge Foster imposed a pen atty of $50 and costs and Bender's counsel. Attorney Henry Greenstein, appealed.
 Hayes later said that another street sweeper was struck ia the arm as Bender shot through the avenue.

Mrs. Baran Goes With Her Half
 Of The Cash

Joseph and Agnes Baran, residents of East Bridgeport, became separated, late yesterday under circumstances that are, mildly speaking, highly sir~ rita ting to Joe. He is minus about s275, also wife. Mrs. Baran fs be- lieved to have gone back to a small town in Massachusetts, near Spring field, where she formerly lived.
 Arraigned in city court yesterday for creating row at his home, Bar an convinced Judge Foster that the fault was not wholly his and the judge placed him under the super vision of the probation officer for a month. It developed during the pro- bation officers investigation of their home conditions that the couple had bank account jointly, with s550 to their credit.
 The discussion of the bank account and of their inability to agree led them to decide to withdraw the de- posit, split it, and re-deposit 1t to their individual credits.

LYRIC THEATRE

Following the mishaps on Monday -of the opening of the Dorner stock company, at the Lyric Garden thea tre, the immense attendance yesterday at both matinee and night were amply repaid in the enjoyment of really meritorious performance of an intel ligent melodrama, one that is perfect ly suited to meet the desire of the family-like audience present. First of all, the play, Welded and Parted human ipterest, full of lifelike char acterizations, and one that absorbs the interest from start to finish. Plausibility is strictly observed throughout the unfolding of the in- tensely gripping three acts, and the frequent enthusiasm and applause must have gladdened the heart of that veteran stage director, Joseph D.. Clifton, who also gave most natural performance of Wilbur Dean, Sr There was such near approach to perfection in the entire cast that praise must be given collectively in- stead of individually. Of course, Miss June Agnott was the attraction, not only from the cleverness of her acting, but from the fact of her hav- ing a part that suited her perfectly. The brisk comedy work of Joseph Forster was at all times most refresh ing as was the dainty work of Miss Hazel Carleton, very clever and att tractive ingenue. William A. Schiller as Wilbur Dean, Jr., gave a manly and striking portrayal of the heroic role, while the work aof Edwin Var ney and Miss Louise Ripley as the scheming plotters, was splendidly re- ceived. "Wedded and Parted'' as we'll as the entire company have registered an emphatic hit that will hold the people. The pictures between the acts were, as usual, first class.

To wish the captain and crew of the forty foot gasoline cruiser Romania God-speed in it's journey across the At Iantic, forty-four gathered for dinner at the Bridgeport Yacht Club, last ev- ening, the guests of the Automatic Machine Co.,. of this city. The dinner was bef1tting the occasion. Those present represented the different motor and boat builders of the city, the yachting clubs and the executive staff and foremen of the builders of the en- zine, the Automatic Machine Go.

Weller addressed the assenblage and explain ed briefly the construction of it. He himself had designed and built the boat and was confident that it would be able to withstand the buffeting to which the ocean might subject 1t.
 As a mechanic of long experience, he explained, he picked out the product of the Bridgeport factory to supply the motive power and in that his confi- dence that a successful trip would en- sue rested. His complete power equip ment comes from this city. The pro- peller and shaft of boat were made by the Bridgeport Brass Go. Provis- ions, also from a local concern, for two months are stored in the boat, and gasoline to the extent of 1,500 gallons are in it's tanks. It is expected that the trip will take but nine days if the weather conditions are favorable. The gas supply, however, is good for four teen days. The engine is of the three cylindered type and of 34 horsepower. It surprised the boat builders present to hear that but seven -eighths plank ing separated the crew from the deep.

Miss Annie Hollinger
 a Finished Actress

The favorable impression made by Miss Anne Hollinger of the Poli Stock company on the people of Bridgeport is attributable not only to her his trionic ability, but also to her charm ing personality. She invariably makes the character for which she is cast an actually in the minds of her au- diences.
 Miss Hollinger's initial performance in this city was the role of Mrs. Rol- lett in 'The Blue Mouse" Her great est achievement, however, was scored from Broadway" Her interpretation lacked nothing to make it. perfect, and won unlimited applause from delight ed audiences.
 A native of Indiana, Miss Hollinger possesses the charm and ,atractiveness of the Southerner. Personally. she is an interesting converSationalist AS a High school girl, Miss HolIinger be- came dissatisfied with life in a small town where everything squeeked'' and determined to find something worth while somewhere. To relieve the monotony, she used to drive sev- eral miles every day to teach a class of boys Latin.
 After her graduation from High school, she entered the Detroit School of Literature with the intention of becoming teacher, but later decided to go on the stage. Returning to her home town, she was greatly encour- aged by her success in a concert and so went to New York, where she be- gan her stage career with Joe Arthur in Blue Jeans.'' Miss Hollinger has travelled with several road companies besides her experience in stock. For two successive seasons she was How ard Halls leading woman, spending one season in Nashville and one in Memphis, Tenn. Miss Hollinger came to Bridgeport from a thirty seven weeks engagement in the New York Academy of Music and expects to re- main here until the end of the sea- son. In September she will return to her own home for a vacation.
 Miss Hollinger assumes the role of Marion Staunton in "A Womans Way this week and brings before her audience the struggle of a young wife band which he has temporarily trans ferred to an artful widow, in such a realistic manner that it is difficult to imagine her in a different character.
 The gowns worn by Miss HoIlinger in her various parts are very inter esting on account of their beauty and The white satin gown that she wears this week has a little story attached. It was made original ly for a young lady in New York who intended it for her wedding dress, but the girl, Ca leader in the ultra fashionable metropolitan circlesl and her fance had misunderstanding and it was never made up," so the gown hung in the closet of an exclu- sive modist and was not used until Miss Hollinger secured it. She wears the gown when, as Marion Staunton, all differences between husband and wife are cancelled, and it seems sing ularly appropriate for such an occa- sion. The distinctive style of this charming creation is set off to ad- by Miss Hollinger's svelte

Sugar Magnate
 Does Not Know
 What a Trust Is
Special from United Press)

New York. July 19-Further testi- mony that the late H. O. Havemeyer absolutely dominated the sugar trust and that the directors did whatever he wanted, was given today at the Con- gressional Sugar hearing by Washing ton B. Thomas, chairman of the board of directors of the American Sugar Refining Company.
 .1s the American Sugar Refining Company a trust?" asked Representa- tive Sulzer, Dem., N Y.) 'I don't know what a trust is,' replied Thomas. He denied, however, that the company was a monopoly.
 Thomas denied that, although the sugar trust is paying dividends on $9O, ,O00,0 coo of stock, fair physical val uation of it's properties and good will would not exceed $40, ,00O,0 ,0OO. He de- clined, however, to place a valuation on it's effects. He also denied that the minutes of the meetings of the directors were prepared so that they would show as little as possible about the company's business.
 ''The policy of the American Sugar Refining Company he announced, ''has always been to live and let live."
