HYDRAULIC COMPANY CINCHES MONOPOLY
 OF WATER SUPPLY
Now Has Grip on All Available Sources For Many Mics in Every Direclion-Sup- ply Sufficient For City of Half
 Million People

The Bridgeport Hydraulic Company has now about completed it's work of getting control of all available water courses within ten or twelve miles of Bridgeport. and has acquired the land water and means necessary to quao- ruple the present supply.
 That Is to say the company is pre- paring to impound, enough water to supply a city of 100000, condition that will not exist for 50 years to come.
 In the meantime under the condi- tions of private ownership water will be sold to the population already Tn being at a price to yield large prof. its upon the investment made to sup ply four times as many.
 The project at present under way involves the construction of dam r. 100 feet long, at the Hemlock's. Will sons Mills, on the Black Rock Turn pike. A lake three miles long with an. area of 437 acres will be created which will hold almost as much water

as is impounded in the entire system now existing. This reservoir will be supplied by Cricker Brook and the Aspetuck River, the latter a substan- tial stream which flows through Easton. The river will be damned near the Aspetuck cemetery with a dam 400 Or 800 feet long.
 Later a tunnel will sbe drilled through the water shed that sepa- rates the valleys of the Aspetuck and the Saugatuck and the latter stream will be turned into the system The Saugatuck is good sized stream which empties into the sound at Westport.
 The proposed lake will suhmerge about three miles of highway, which must be replaced. The work of re- pla cement is now underway.
 The water will be brought to Bridge port through some eight miles of 4S inch pipe.
 The project. exclusive of tunneling from the Saugatuck, will cost, it is stated by the company, about $1,000,- 900.

Special from Onited Press,

Special from United Press,
 London, Nov. 16-Practical confirma- tion of the declaration that the Ital- ian forces at Tripoli are in a serious position has been received here in the statement that, instead of attempting to push their lines further out into the desert the Italians are increasing the strength of their Qualifications close to Tripoli and are content to hold what they have.
 It was declared, some time ago, that there would be a forward movement by theeItalian troops, with the inten- tion of driving the Turks and Arabs out of the foothills back to Tripoli.
 The constant attacks of the Turks and Arabs have so shaken the Italians that the forward movement has been abandoned.

 Bridgeport, Conn.,, Nov. 16, 1911 Mir. Hardeen,
 Poli's Theatre,
 Bridgeport, Conn. Sir:
 We were at Poli's theatre Tuesday, the 14th inst, and fastened you into straight jacket from which you re- leased yourself.
 While we marvelled at your success under most trying difficulties we must admit that we are not satisfied and would like the privilege of putt ting you to more severe test. We propose to fasten you from head to foot into a Crazy Crib" the same as used by the asylum and prison au- thorities to restrain the criminal in- sane and all military prisoners of a like nature.
 If you consent to accept this chal- lenge we want it understood that you must liberate yourself in full view of the audience so that it will be impos- sible for you to receive any outside assistance.
 Awaiting an early reply. I remain, Yours very truly,

news FROM, OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Chairman Underwood SAYS
Tariff Bills Will Be Ready
After Holidays.

Washington.-Congress starts OF
the second week with undigested
Presidents messages ana with still
others to follow.
President Taft will have pretty near
. decade of work laid out for the
Lawmakers If all his suggestions
should be taken into consideration
and passed. They may be considered
but they will not all be worked out
into law. Perhaps the piecemeal mes
sage will become popular in time, but
one, short message covering every
thing would find favor If it is ever
tried.
Tariff Bills After Holidays.
Chairman Underwood announces he
will be ready with some OF the i'm
portant tariff revision bills immedi-
ately after the holidays. He will bring
forth the wool, cotton and steel re.
vision bills in the order named. The
general impression in the House is
that there will be little change, If
any, In the new bills to be presented
by the Democrats of the ways and
means committee from the revision
bills presented at the last session.
The ways and means committee
will meet this week and take up work
on all the important schedules of the
tariR. An innovation will be that the
speaker, may, attend the sessions OF
the committee to give its members
the benefit of his judgment and ex.
perience on tariff legislation.
Does Little Work.
The Senate has been marking time
during the past week and will con.
tinue to do SO until the house shall
have sent across some bills which
the Senate thinks worth its time to
consider.
Up to the present the Senate has
been busy considering nominations
BY the president and mulling over
the Presidential message on the
