SHIVERINC MECHANICS AT NEWfIELD PARK WARM UP
 THEIR CONCEALED WINGS

Bundled under sweaters, chamois chest protectors, woolens, etc, Man. ager Gene McCann and his likely looking bunch of pennant pursuers are today busying themselves in training at Newf1eld park. Between heats, the players gather around log fire built in center field, there doing a war dance, and kicking themselves for ever reporting in such weather. An occasional furry of fine snow adds to the Zest of the scene The boys were glad to go through stunt after stunt today for it was the only way to chase the chill away.
 McCann will hold the men to strict discipline and today before the boys left the Atlantic gave them few di- rections. He says that it's early to bed and early to rise for the gang. On the theory that temptation is bet ter than punishment, McCann has is- sued an edict that any man found drinking anything intoxicating will have to square his own meal ticket during the training season. As the squad is composed of clean, ambitious athletes, no trouble is anticipated.
 Yesterday afternoon and evening the squad was augmented by the arrival of Ewald A. A. Snyder, all the way from Washington, D. C., Frank Skip per- Eley from Bayonne, N. J., Jim my "Kid'' Hall from the big town Frank Snyder from Newburg. N. T., Marty Donahue from New Haven and Henny Gagain from Waterville
 The boys were all prepared for the variations of the Bridgeport climate Manager McCann has stock of sweater coats for the bunch, but they along their own heating parapTerna- lia

Manager McCann has at the park today: Miller, Stowe, Ladd, two Shy ders, Hey Hall Gibbs, Donohue, Ga gain, Pheland and Sweeney. Those yet to report are John Red Waller, Floyd "Chalky'' CIunn, Willie Upham, Captain Tom Crooks, Outfelder Davy Clarke from Albany and the two Out of this bunch he intends to de- velop his pennant winning aggrega- tion.
 The only fight for places outside the pitching staff and the outfield is that at second base. Here Jimmy Hall. Bobby Stowe and Marty Donahue, will try for the honor of sticking. Crooks is the only candidate for first base, LitSchi for short and Miller for third.
 "Hi'' Ladd threatens. if he does not make good in the outfeld, to try out for the pitching department. "Hf' ad- mits that he is something of a Chris ty Mathewson, himself. Last evening he was telling a bunch of admirers of his prowess as pitcher in game at the end of last season in Phoenix, R. I. The team was playing club, the pick of the Eastern league players. Phoenix was without a heaver. Ladd showed up and was willing to try himself out "I had that bunch stand ing on their heads says Hi, two hits was all I gave them in nine innings, yet luck was against me for they won out 3-2. I didn't care bit, I came in for s15 and my expenses. Hi says his team had the game sewed up 20 up to the final session, when his center fielder dropped a fly. That started it,'' he says, "and before the inning was over. the inffeld had con- tributed three more misplays, giving the professionals their three runS.

PROCRESSlVES
 HOLD BALANCE
 OF POWER NOW
fSnecial from United Press.)

Washington, April 4.-When the 62nd Congress met, today, progressive leaders declared that the little band of fighting progressives in the Senate had come into their own at last-fVe progressive Senators, standing togeth- CT, could control the destinies of the Congress. And the Senate progress sives, with Poindexter of Washington. and Works of California, added ts their number, now boast of 12 solid votes.
 With a Republican majorityof nine five progressive Republican Senators voting with the Democrats, won d turn the balance of power, making the vote on any question 46 to 45. Such men as LaFollette and Cum mins who, under the "old order" were "barely tolerated. by the leaders loomed up, today, as great powers i'll the upper house.
 The regulars, however, answered. the arguments of progressives with the prophecy that the Democrats Will not be found voting solidly together and that the wide breach between such men as Bailey of Texas, ana Owen of Oklahoma. will divide the Democratic ranks in such way as to wreck all calculations regardlns a Democratic Progressive Republican combine.

PUBLIC HEARING ON ABOLITION OF
 TAX DISTRICTS
DeForest Urges Considerate Ac- ton of Council on Grave
 Project

Alderman R. E. DeForest raised his voice in vigorous and effective protest against the proposed rushing through of the council of a resolution directing that immediate steps be taken to abolish the distinctive tax districts of the city. known as the First and Second districts, when AL derman MacFayden introduced the measure at the meeting of the coun- ell last night.
 Alderman DeForest did not indicate that he discredited the merits of AL derman MacFayden's proposition, but he believed 1t against public policy to establish precedent of such has, ty action on matter of such gravity.
 Alderman MacFayden was not hos tile to a delay, and an agreement was reached after considerable discus sion whereby the resolution was re- ferred to the Miscellaneous committee with instructions to order a public hearing on the plan at the next meet ing of the Common Council and pre- pare report for the first meeting in May.
 MT. MacFayden urged the abolition of the tax distinction on the ground that the city's proposed heavy bonding is an injustice upon those in the Sec ond district. He sets forth that the persons in the first district enjoy all the conveniences of the Second district and claims that the expense should be shared by them.

Elaborate Plan To BurroW Under
 Golden Hill Slope
Aldermen Wilder and King. Dope Out Giant Engineer
 ing Feat for City

Like the ghost of MT. Banouo, the project of drilling a hole underneath Golden Hill to relieve traffic in Main street won't quit. The matter in fore the Common Council last night from Aldermen Francis M. Wilder and propose a sort of "Y"-shaped tube from Green hill at the head of Broad street, one arm of the "Y'' coming out near Joe Hartigan's drug store, the other near Jim Rawley'S saloon
 The Streets and Sidewalks commit tee had the project wished on them They were made a special committee by vote of the Common Council last night, to consider the feasibility of the project. This action makes the committee a special body to continue beyond it's term @of office as alder manic committeeman.
 Aldermen Wilder and King plan to tunnel beneath Green Hill, run north to Franklin street then out on Main street by a deflection to the north east bring the tube out where Cath avenue run into Main street. They further plan an arm extending north easterly from the long tube to come out beneath the hill at the foot of Congress street.
 Alderman Wilder is enthusiastic at the prospect of the tunnel construc- tion, but aside from him and Alder man King, none in the board took the plan seriously. MT. Wilder be- lieves the stone to be excayated will play large share of the cost of the work. He believes about $20O, 900 would cover the city's expense if the plan is carried out.
 The length of the main tunnel would be 1 $50 feet and the branch 800 feet The width recommended is 36 feet

Birmingham Censures
 United Illuminating Go,

Mayor Buckingham and Police Commissioner Baker visited Supt. Birmingham at Police headquarters today. As a result. the mayor re- newed his instructions to patrolmen to guard against children playing in the street in the path of vehicles.
 Supt Birmingham also wrote to Superintendent Paul of the United illuminating Go. expressing regret that one of his staff should have turned off the lights in a motion pie ture theatre in Pembroke street, Sat urday night, in a dispute over pay ment of the electricity bill, thereby precipitating a panic, which good luck alone prevented from being at tended with serious results.
 The superintendent, acting further as a result of the conference, again warned the patrolmen against allow ing merchants, particularly on Main street, to sweep their stores into the street. A fine of $100 is provided for violation of ordinance 266, which covers this matter.

GAVE AWAY HIS PROPERTY; NOW
 WANTS 1T BACK

With Judge Joel H. Reed sitting, the April term of the Superior court, civil side, came in this morning. The court listened to the evidence in the suit of Daniel Booth of Stamford against Lil- Han M. Booth. The plaintiff, man well along in years, some time ago deeded his property to his nephew, Daniel w Booth, on condition that the nephew would care for his uncle dur ing the years to come. The nephew. Booth, later died. and in will deeded his property, which included that of the uncle, to his wife and child. The wife, Lillian M. Booth. the defendant, has not carried out the terms of the agreement drawn up between her hus- band and his uncle, according to the Iatter's claim.

BROTHERS AND
 SISTERS NIGHT
 AT PLAY HOUSE
The Four Soils, Amoros Sis ters, Taylor Sisters and McGinnis Brothers on
 POli Bill

It was brothers and sisters night at Polls, as a Monday evening audi ence, packed full as the seats would hold. saw the curtain go up in this family playhouse. There were the four Soils brothers, the two Taylor Amoros sisters ten variously talented persons. The Soils brothers are ar- tistic performers upon a queer Mex1- can instrument, compound of the familiar xylophone, in combination with a string effect, like the thrum- was pleasing, so that the house de- manded more in repeated encores. The McGinnis Bros. dance, ended stronger than it began. As for those Taylor sisters, they really were hit. It is not often that white girls at- tempt a black face minstrel:y act, but these do, bringing originality and many merry dance and odd step to their work. The Amoros girls, two in all, were remarkable for the wide range of their talents. They sang a little, danced much, were experienced in jokes and were capable acropats. One sister gave an exhibition on the trapeze which was entirely too good for a portion of the audience. which had not been taught how to behave, mothers and fathers having been busy at other work. It certainly was a great night for brothers and sisters.
 Ruth Francis. a bit of a thing made an impression as "the walf'' in the musical comedy which is called "A Night in a Police Station" There are eleven people in the company which is headed by Joe Maxwell. who has a sweet voice. The company suc- ceeded in getting several encores.
 The jugg1er with the hats and the rubber spheres has come to town so often that it would appear as if little new could be offered. Hoffman prov ed that the oldest stunts can be done in a new way.
 Leonard and Whitney present a conventional skit. relative to an Irish man who becomes suddenly rich and wishes he was poor again.

 LIKE PLAIN WATER

Spectacular stunts with gasoline by Attorney E. w. Marshall of New york entertained members of the Au- tomobile Club of Bridgeport at the Stratfield, last evening.
