SACRED HEART
CHURCH ENDS A
SPLENDID Year

The annual report of the finances
Of the Sacred Heart church was read
at all the masses yesterday by Rev.
II. r. Sweeney, pastor of the church,
showing the best results obtained
since Father Sweeney became pastor
ten years ago. The entire receipts
for the year were $22,761.21, the best
in the history of the church since the
advent of Father Sweeney with the
exception of 1907 when the new Sis
ters of Mercy convent was erected in
Park avenue. All these funds were
obtained without the assistance of
fairs, whists or socials of any kind.
The parish has paid off during the
year $4,000 on the church debt, which
is now reduced to '$29,4OO, with all
outstanding bills, and many bills for
this year, paid up. There is a bal
ance in the treasury of $4S4.13. One
of the big items of expense during
the year was $1,000 for the remodel
ing of the church rectory.
A large source Of revenue was the
mission given in October by the
Dominican Fathers. After all the eX
penses entailing on the mission were
paid, there was still left to go to the
general funds of the church, $1.406.
When Rev. Father Sweeney be-
came pastor of the church ten years
ago last September, the church debt
was $48,500. Within the decade the
debt has been reduced almost half,
while the church property has been
considerably improved, including the
entire remodeling of the Sacred Heart
school in Park avenue, and the erec-
ton Of the new convent, which could
not be duplicated today for less than
100000. Within the ten years the
total receipts Of the church has been
about 100000. At the present time
there are about 4,400 souls in the
congregation.
During the reading of the report
Father Sweeney also took occasion to
state that since last July he has been
in temporary charge of st. Georges
Lithuanian church in Park avenue,
doing so at the request Of Bishop
Milan, when Rev. Father Wolyts re-
signed from the pastorate. because
the church was heavily in debt The
church is for the Lithuanians of the
city, about 900 in all. There are SER
vices every Sunday conducted by one
of the priests of the Sacred Heart
church. All outstanding bills have
been met since Father Sweeney took
hold, until today there is but the
original funded debt of $4,000. The
church is now in a f1ourishing condi-
ton with the members of the parish
confidently awaiting the advent of a
Lithuanian pastor to be sent here to
take charge by Bishop Milan.

H0xEY'S DEATH
BLOW To MEET
Especial from United Press, }

L l. ~
Los Angeles, Jan. 2-The local avia-
tion meet, which was to have con-
tinued through tomorrow, will end this
afternoon. The death of Arch Hox-
sey following so closely the death at
New Orleans, Of Johnny Moisant, has
taken the spirit out Of aviators and
none of them will venture far above
the ground.
Jim Radley, the Englishman, de-
clared, today, that he would not take
any more chances in the treacherous
air currents here. He essayed a flight,
yesterday but as soon as he encoun-
tered gusty winds, quickly descended.
Eugene Ely, the Curtiss aviator,
gave the spectators a thrill, yester-
day, when a guy wire broke, became
entangled in his propeller and tore
out a large piece of the propeller
blade. Ely alighted with difficulty,
but safely, though he was badly shak-
en- up.
Hoxsey's body lies in a morgue at
Pasadena, where it was taken early
today. It will be buried there, to-
morrow, the chief mourners being the
widowed mother and all the aviators
Phil Parmalee explained Hoxsey's
fall by declaring that after Arch as
cended seven thousand feet the air
currents below him became gusty and
treacherouS. HOXSey, being unaware
of this. attempted the diving descent
with his engine shut off. When he
struck the lower air currents his ma
chine capsiZed.

1ST. BAPTIST CHURCH

At the morning service at the First
Baptist church. yesterday. the pastor,
Rev. George w. Nicholson. who has
been in charge OF the church for II
to take place on April next.
The only reason Pastor Nicholson
gave for his action. was the fact that
he is tired and feels entitled to a rest
after his long years OF active SER
vice.
Apparently his action comes as a
stunning surprise to his congregation
Members of the church today insist
that none Of them had the slightest
advance notice of his intention. DIR.
Nicholson said that absolutely his
ony reason for resign1ng is the one
stated by him to his COMPENSATION
that he feels the need of rest
DR.. Nicholson has been elected pres
ident of the Baptist Ministers Home
Association I'm New York city. but he
stated to a Farmer reporter today
that his duties in this connection are
largely honorary and not such as will
necessarily take him out Of Bridge
port. This has nothing to do with
his retirement from the pulpit, he
said.
J. Harry Crossley. chairman of the
board Of trustees of the church. this
morning said that the church is in
splendid condition. that absolute har-
mony prevails between congregation
and pastor. and that he can vouch
that there is absolutely no reason un-
derlyinR Pas1or Nicholson's action be-
yond the one stated. Other promi-
nent members Of the church confirmed
this view. and all seemed grieved at
the possibility Of losing DR.. Nichol-
sons services.
It is understood that no action will
be taken by the church for a week or
two, but DR. NicholsOn's resignation
will not permit of much delay.

this occasion to suggest that the at

upon the solution of abstract ques-

DECLARES JOHN ]. PHELAN
General Satisfaction Over Victory For City
Which Has Been Negotiated by
Mayor Buckingham
City Attorney Will Prepare Instrument to Give Legal
Effect to Water Compa ny's Concession of Free
Water for Municipality

Satisfaction today is general over
the conclusion of the 20 year water
contract contest and the settlement
with the Bridgeport Hydraulic COM
pany, under which Mayor Buckingham
has obtained free water for the city.
1t was pointed out today that the
concession is Of greater magnitude
than would at first appear. inasmuch
as the right of the city to free wa
ter having been conceded. the benehts
of a free supply will continue not
merely for 16 years, but as long as
the water shall be supplied, which is
nothing less than the period during
which Bridgeport will remain as
city.
City Attorney Cullinan will at once
in conjunction with counsel for the
Bridgeport Hydraulic company pre-
pare an instrument by which the
agreement between the company and
Mayor Buckingham will be reduced to
legal form and given legal effect.
Attorney John j. Phelan. who

the fight to abrogate the 20 year wa
ter contract, expressed himself. this
morning, as much pleased with the
negotiations with the Bridgeport Hy-
draulic Company, as a result of which

the city. and by which the contract
is deprived of it's profit bearing value.
Said Mr.. Phelan. '1 am glad the
matter has been settled. The city is
a gamer as a result, and SO is the
water company. I am glad that the
company has come to realize the true
state of the public mind and that it
mas made such concessions as will
satisfy the public's sense of Justice.
It Is natural In this world of busi-
ness. in which so many of our af-
fairs are conducted by a process Of
bargaining that either party should
seek to make the best bargain for
himself. But my view of the 20 year
contract as a member of the board
Of superintendent was. that nnder AN
earlier bargain. that made with
titled to a supply Of water without
charge regarded it as my moral
duty to demand for the city that to

BIRMINGHAM SAYS ITS
:. A FARCE TO RAID CLUBS
LIQUOR PROSECUTOR CREENSTEIN
SEEMS TO THINK THAT PRESENT
LAWS ARE P0WERLESS IN THE
PREMISES

In an interview given to the Far
NOR today, Attorney Henry Green
stein outlined his attitude towards
raids upon clubs dispensing liquor to
their members on Sundays, and stated
plainly that unless the police placed
him in possession of evidence that the
clubs were dispensing intoxicants to
Others than members. he would not
prosecute them. for the present
He will adhere to this attitude until
the test case now pending III the court
OF Common Pleas, in which the Cedar
Creek Yacht club. raided yesterday, is
involved. Is disposed of by the court.
He will base his future conduct upon
the outcome of that case. He added
that he felt that he was voicing the
views of the other liquor prosecutor,
Attorney Albert J. Merritt, in the ex-
position of his attitude.
MT. Greensteln's announcement
comes on the heels Of a. second raid
upon the Cedar Creek yatchmen. This
was pulled off by the police yesterday.
Twenty-siX men were arrested. two of
them badly intoxicated. The place
was completely equipped with beer on
dsaught and a large store Of intoxi-
cants Attorney Greenstein was sum
moned to police headquarters while
the patrol wagon was busy making
round trips bringing in the tiplers.
The police had no evidence, in the
opinion of Attorney Greenstein, that
any of the 26 was not a. member of
the club, SO that if any one were sin
gled out as the man in charge of the
club. Greenstein said he could not
prosecute him ON the ground that he
was selling to outsiders. The question
as to whether the club has a right to
sell liquor to members, he said, was
not decided.
In any event, the alleged frequenters
could not be held, for under the rul-
ing Of the courts. it is not a criminal
offence to frequent a place where Ii
quors are sold unlawfuFiy provided
the place is not a place regularly Ii
censed for the distribution of liquors.
There were a dozen of the 26 who
displayed keys. which they claimed
were sufficient evidence of their being
regular members Of the club. The
police were cha grine@ at the .oTtc9me
of the raid. Supt. Birmingham had
received numerous complaints. that
the drinking in tle club was a cause
Of annoyance TO the peaceable resi-
dents of the neigllborhood.
The club is in the basement Of the
old Bridgeport Steamboat Co. build
ing at Main street and South avenue.
The vault that once was repository
for the papers and books of the steam
ship line is now an excellent ice box
