OYSTERS GOING UP IN PRICE
 THIS SEASON
Manager Platts of Radel Go. Says There Will Be An
 Advance
 Says Higher Cost Is Neces- sary-On1y Food Product Which Hasn't Risen Yet.

Charles Platts of this city, sales manager of the Andrew Radel Oyster Company of Bridgeport, and South Norwalk, says in the Fishing Gazette, that oysters will undoubtedly be high CT in price all along the line. MT. Platts ia well versed in the affairs of the industry and his judgment may be relied upon. His letter was called forth by a statement last week, to the effect that there will be plenty of oysters this year. Answering this, MT. Platts says in part:
 "A careful canvass in this section shows a scarcity of good stock, and there is no question in my mind that the growers will have to get more money for their output than last sea- son. This is settled fact as regards the Andrew Radel Oyster Co.,, and it is only a question of amount. This will be determined after we make our inspection trip the latter part of this month"
 We have heard from other sources" says the Gazette. that oy- sters will be higher in price this year, and there is no question but that buy CTS should pay more, for as was pointed out in our columns within a few weeks, while other foods have in- creased In price from 25 to 50 per cent, oysters have not increased, but have actually decreased in price, a1- though the cost of handling and ship ping oysters has been much enhanced by the changes in packages, etc."

SHOWER OF
 BULLETS TOO MUCH FOR SWAN
Son of Well-to-do New York Farmer Will Be Brought to Bridgeport on Bur- glary Charge.

It took a generous shower of pistol bullets delivered in the general d1rec- tion of Michael Swan, the son of a well-to-do farmer of Stuyvesant Falls, N. Y., to bring the young fugitive to bay on Sunday afternoon, when Dep- uty Sheriff John Loucks of that place set cut to capture him for the Bridge port authorities.
 Swan lodged the bullets until they began to whistle so close to his head that he decided it would be discreet to throw up his hands So he is now a guest in the Stuyvesant Falls lock- Up pending the perfection of requisi- ton papers under which he will be brought to Bridgeport for burglary.
 Swan is accused of breaking into Nicolo Jacobello's bicycle store, at TIT Stratford avenue, just east of the Stratford avenue bridge, before day break Sunday morning, July 29, and of taking from the store a second hand motor cycle worth about S100 Through the efforts of Detective Ser geant Fox of the local detecive bu- reau, Swan was located at his former home in Stuyvesant Falls.
 After the burglary, the motorcycle was shipped from Naugatuck Junction to Stuyvesant Falls. The, machine was located by the police before it's shipment, but to apprehend the clllprit they allowed 1t to go unmolested, meanwhile notifying the Stuyvesant Falls authorities to be on the watch for Swan.
 The motorcycle came through all right, but it lay for several days at the station, unclaimed. Then Deputy Sheriff Loucks located Swan visiting at the home of a relative in the town, and he went out to capture Swan. The young man sighted the deputy sheriff, whom he knew of old, and started to flee. Loucks commanded him to halt, but he only ran faster, then Loucks began shooting. The fusillade was more than Swan want ed to chance, so he gave himself up.
 Detective Fox went to Stuyvesant Falls, returning last night with such information as was necessary to make out the warrant charging burglary Prosecutor Redden issued it today, and as soon as possible the reQuisition papers will be perfected to bring Swan here for burglary
 Swan is about 26, , and though of good family, he has been in trouble with the authorities several times. He denies the burglary, claiming to have bought the motorcycle for $9O from another man. But the police say they can prove that he himself was in the bicycle store Saturday evening before the burglary, dickering for the ma chine.

 ROCK FOLLOWS FIRE

Daniel Rock, a we'll known plumb CT who for many years conducted a plunabing business in Fairfield, and whose plumbing esta blishment was re- gently destroyed by fire, died at ,he home of his mother, Mrs. Daniel Rock, TO Myrtle avenue, this noon. MT. Rocks death was not entirely un- expected for he had been in failing health for several months The Fair field fire came just as he was believed to be on the road to recovery.

He came of a well known Bridgeport family, and spent most of his life in the plumbing business. Besides his widowed mother there survive one sister, Mrs. Timothy Daley; threee brothers.

Will Give Up
 Her Husband
 To Soul Mate
After Welded Life of 9 Years, Wife of Copper Magnate Turner Makes This Startling Announce ment.

New York, Aug. 9EAfter 2z years of married life, unmarred by single quarrel, and with her boys grown to manhood, Mrs. Oscar A. Turner, wife of the noted copper mining magnate and millionaire, announced, today, that she will surrender her husband to a "soul mate.'' Her lawyer, she says, is now negotiating financial settlement, and, as soon as arrangements can be made, she explained that she will go to a western state, establish resi- dence and secure a divorce.
 Turner is the head of the Consoli- dated Gold Mining Co.,, of Oregon and is worth several millions. Mrs. Turner married him when she was 16 years of age and she aided him in getting his start, walking miles with him through the mountains when he was prospecting.
 Last year, Mrs. Turner was robbed of a $25,000 necklace while returning from Europe on the Steamer Deutsch- land.
 When he arrived at his office, this morning, MT. Turner refused to make any statement

Exercise of rare presence of mind and what must have been almost SUD- erhuman strength. saved Edward Bots ford, a trolley Hneman of 2S Jos eph street, from being mangled be- heath the wheels of the White Noun tains and St. Albans Limited express at the scene of the Federal Express wreck in the West End this forenoon:
 Badly bruised, with a deep lacera- ton in the left thigh and his clothes torn to tatters, Botsford was taken first to the emergency hospital for ex- animation, then to the Bridgeport hos- pital for observation. He will recover. His escape from death is regarded by veteran railroaders as one Of the most remarkable on record.
 Botsford is AS years old, a veteran lineman formerly with the, $. N. E. Tel Co.,. and for several years with the Connecticut Co. He is one Of a gang repairing the destruction wrought at the Fairfield avenue viaduct cross ing when the Federal express hurdled over the viaduct wall four weeks ago yesterday. The trolley Hnemen are installing a trough through which the feed wire will be strung, under the girders of the viaduct.
 Just before II o'clock Botsford dis appeared from his fellows. How he came to get upon the V1dQuCI they don't know They conjecture that he may have sought the viaduct to get at the work to better advantage.
 The White Mountain express came laundering eastward a few minutes before Il o'clock. In his attention to the work Botsford forgot his peril and paid no heed to the passing trans. Today for the first time since the Fed eral disaster the outside east bound ssAck, kn own as Track 4 was restore Cd tc general use.
 Botsford looked up just as the loco motive bore down upon him. There was no escape. He had but an in- ssant to think. To try to cross the track would have meant death, and to scale the iron girder, breast high. which runs along the outside rail. would have been equally disastrous. He flung himself headlong beside the outside rail of the express track.
 Before he had chance to settle into the few inches of space into which he almost fnstinctively threw himself, the cylinder head of the To- comotive struck his back. But Bots- ford had his arms wrapped about a railroad tie and he clung with super human strength The locomotive and passing car steps continued to pound him, and tore his clothing to shreds.

 Senators Fem, Paddock and Dono- van opposed the suggestion of having the utilities commission deal with it. They believe it should be made a sep arate law and they are in favor of amendment to the bill drawn by Sen ator Tenn and which has the backing of the Brotherhood of Railway Train men.

 The ten car train was rumbling away in the distance before Botsford's fel- lows knew what had happened. His cries for help brought them scamper- ing up on the viaduct They tried to get him to his feet but he couldn't rise. They fashioned an improvised stretcher, and while the foreman of car telephoned to the emergency hos pital for the ambulance, they carried him along the tracks until they reach ed the turf embankment at the west end of the bridge then they bore him down the bank to the street to await the arrival of the ambulance.
 Botsford was deathly pale, but he hadn't lost his nerve. He told his comrades he believed he was not dan seriously hurt, though he complained of Krause took the victim to the emer- gency hospital for examination.
