DOES BRIDGEPORT WANT
 A SCHOOL SYSTEM DESIGNED BY KING, WARNER, LAvERY?

During the session of the General Assembly of 1909 John 1T. King. was member of the Third House, vulgarly called, The Lobby.
 He admitted the paternity of 8 bill 'sto reconstruct the school system of Bridgeport, and ap- peared for the bill before a com mittce of the legislature.
 Fortunately for the school sys- tenn of Bridgeport the bill receiv- ed Scant consideration, and fail- ed of . favorable report and passage.
 The attempt to reconstruct" the school system was abandoned for the time, but not forgotten. It appears again as plank in the policies" which have sre- ceived the approval of De Yer H. Warner."
 Up to this time no intelligent argument has been made to show that the school system of Bridge port ought to be reconstructed.
 Do the people of Bridgeport want their public school system reconstructed by Messrs. King, Warner, Lavery and Coroner Will son?

CORONER WILSON'S REPLY

Georgia, who drove his own car made a unique record. He not only did his own driving under conditions that tested the strength and staying powers of even the experienced professionals in the factory teams, but he took care of his car himself from start to finish, and he was one of the fourteen en- trants who reached Jacksonville with perfect scores. When the Stevens Duryea Company sent him a message of congratulation and invited him to send his car back to the factory for an overhauling and repairing, he thanked them but said there was ab- solutely nothing the matter with the car, inside or out, and he wanted to use it.
 It remained for Chicago auto show week to produce the first lady demon strator, but from the success she achieved 1t is probable that others will follow the initiative. Miss Nell An derson, one of Chicago's most charm ing motorists, opened a new field of endeavor for her sex when she used her own Premier six-cylinder, seven passenger car during the entire week in demonstrating the good points of the Series M. Premier, which is the latest creation of this make.

LuN in McXamara Case And Lawyers
 ScrutInIze Record
Both Prosecution and De- fense Unable to Present Peremptory Challenges Until Decision from Indi- ana Courts.
tspecial from United PressJ

tCpcC.dl OUIteO EES3Sy Los Angeles, Nov. EBecaase of the supreme importance of a decision g. the Indianapolis courts regarding the disposition of the alleged evidence there in the McNamara case, bofn sides in the trial here united in se~ curing an adjournment of the actual trial until Monday. As a result to- days session was devoted by Judge Bordwell to qualifying a new veniTe of 40 summoned in the case.
 The prosecution and defense are in a peculiar position as a result of the ramifications of the case in the In- diana courts. They cannot present challenges intel1igently until they see what is going to be done.
 The defense is also depending upon this, especially in view of the fact that Ortie McManigaPs evidence cold hardly remain in the records sho1sd the State not have in hand checks, vouchers, etc., seized in the offices of the ironworkers, to substantlate the charge of conspiracy.
 Beginning with the decision in the case of Spies, the Chicago anarchist, and following all down the line fo fhe Haywood, Pettibone case, at Boise, f has been the universal ruling 0f courts that, while acts of one .in--a conspiracy are the acts of all, fhers~
  sable where given by one conspfratoB against a fellow involved In the alIeg- ed conspiracy, yet unless this sort of evidence is absolutely coTT05Oratec from independent sources, it must be stricken out of the records. There fore, unless McManigafs story be backed up by Burns own stater1erf and cheeks, dfefts and other evidence which it is alleged show positively that, prior to every explosion result ing from an alleged gigantic conspir- acy and invariably following each, Dig money payments were made by John T. McNan1ara to outsiders from fund for which no vouchers were returned. it is unlikely any of OTtie McMan1- gals story of James B. McNamara's movements in California will ever De left in the records.
 While today there was a Iu1I, there fore, in the actual trial, a battery Of lawyers on each side is closely scru~ tinizing nhe record and listening to reports of confidential detectives who have examined the records of the tory to the interposition of peTen1p- to begin Monday afternoon It 5s considerd certain that the 1zfh man in the box, Talesman Andrews, who has been .chaiIenged~. by the fefepse, will be excnsed Monday despite Dis trict Attorney Fredericks' frantic ef- forts to qualify him because he free- ly and frankly admits he has an ab- solute belief that McNamaTa IS guilty. He is former manager Of General Otis ranches and is a lifelong foe of labor unions.

E.. Fl. DILLON & co.
MUST 60 ID ROME
Pope Decided Red Hats Cannot Be
 Sent to New Cardinals.

Rome, Nov. 4.-Pope Plus has de- cided that all those to be created car dinals at the consistory on November 29 must come to Rome to receive their red hats except the Spanish and Austrian candidates who by the terms of the concordat with their countries must receive the red biretta through their sovereigns.
 On other occasions as in the case of the late Cardinal Satolli, who was ipapal delegate in the United States the red hat was sent to America, but in the present instance the pope wishes to avoid the period between this consistory and another later dur ing which otherwise the new cardin- als would hold office without the formal and official sanction. The ex- pense of sending the papal mission to America would be consid erable whether it fell upon the holy see or the cardinals themselves and this fea- ture also influenced his holiness.

Valuable Hints
 For Auto Owners
Things Which Owners and Operators of Motor Cars
 Should Know

Automobile clubs in France are find ing a large field for work in arrang- ing trials for agricultural motor ma- chinery and implements.
 A good practice is to lubricate and clean the wheel bearings, differential the two universal joints are attended to, so that the whole work may be done at once with saving of labor and material.
 An inspection of the tires generally made before starting on trip should not be confined merely to the search for cuts, but also for spots which give are generally determined by a small bubble-like formation on the surface of the casing.
 An increase of $5 or more per acre in property values along the route of the principal Milwaukee-O -Oconomowoc highway since the improvement work carried on during the past summer is 'rer of the Milwaukee Good Roads Association.
 The Committee on Laws and Leg1s- iation of the Board of Aldermen of New York are considering proposed ordinance which if passed will be of interest to motorists. It provides that mo vehicle shall stop with fits left side to the curb, nor shall any vehicle, except delivery or supply ve- hicles of the Department of Education, stop at the curb either in front or on the side of any public school building during school hours.
 Having fnaugurated campaigns look ing toward the abolition of speeding and the 'open muffler,'' the Fedora tion of American Motorcyclists has turned it's attention to the practice known as "tank-riding."
 The F. A. M. does not countenance and is actively opposing the practice of carrying two passengers on a mo- torcycle that is built for only one pas senger. Some riders indulge in this practice, carrying passenger, usual ly young woman, on an imprOvised seat on the handlebars, tank or mud guard of single passenger machine.
 A progressive Sunday-school teach CT, of Denver, has hit upon a plan to gather his flock by automobile. He sends out squadron of machines through the district surrounding his church to gather up the children. Whereas the average attendance has been 1S8, the motor cars have brought the number to 350
 A good way to ascertain whether the mixture furnished bya the carbu- reter is too weak or too rich is to shut off the fuel supply at the tank and open the throttle. If the mixture passing through the engine is too rich the engine will speed up as the level in the float chamber is lowered by the exhaustion of the fuel from it. The lowering of the fuel level awakens the mixture considerably. If driver thinks that the mixture is too weak, the float chamber may be partially flooded while the engine is running and if this causes the engine to run ra aridly # is sure indication that the mixture, as beiIS supplied, is entirely too weak.

 RAGTIME MELODY WITH
 DORMITORY IN BLAZE.
Especial from United Pressl

Boston, Nov. 4.-Girl students of Emerson and Simmons Colleges and the New England Conservatory of Music went Nero one better early today, when they sat playing ragtime as their dormitories on St. Stephens street, Backbay burned. c
 In the dormitory apartments eight girls were holding a fudge feast and and muffIed music came from the parlor. To reassure those who had gone to bed, Miss Maud Gesner, a musical student, of Portland, Ore, jumped to the piano and played var ious popular melodies. Strains of Put on Your Old Gray Bonnet" floating through smoke filled corri- dors had the desired effect of re- minding some of the fleeing girls that it was too cold to go outside clad only in nighties and many stopped to don a few clothes before rushing to the street.

ALL CANDIDATES
 PROMISE TO ABATE
 GARBAGE NUISANCE
East Side Association Feels That it Has al
 Last Won Fight of Months

The East Side Improvement Asso- citation feels that it has at last solved the garbage problem. It released to- day the correspondence with \Candi- dates Donnely, McLevy and Wilson, relative to the garbage nuisance. The replies are all to the effect that the provisions of the contract with the Fischer Company will be enforced.
 The letter of the association is as fOllowS:
 Dear Sir:-The undersigned repre- sent the East Side Improvement As sociation, a body of four hundred voters from the Ninth and Twelfth districts, also many voters from the Eighth and Tenth districts.
 Soon after the garbage plant was started in the spring of 1911 citizens residing near the plant and others at a greater distance when the wind was blowing from the plant under cer- enced vile and nauseating odors, so much so that at times windows hao to be closed, porcheS deserted and all peace and comfort destroyed.
 A few weeks later odors commen- ced to come from the river at every low tide at times extending five or six blocks from the river. The odors were equally as offensive as the so called overland odors, waking people up out of their sleep, making life miserable, depreciating property anu retarding the growth of the city in our districts. These overland ana iver odors continued all summer long and disappeared directly after the garbage plant was shut down when disabled by fire.
 city the East Side Association are greatly interested in your attitude to- wards the improvements that they desire to bring about in their dis tricts and ask you the following ques- tions which they would be pleased to have you answer as soon as possible if you consider it expedient-
 1st. If elected will you if it ap- pears that Fischer & Co. are not re- ducing the garbage in accordance with the terms of their contract with the city. do all in your power to com pei them to live up to the clauses in the contract pertaining to odors es- pecially inserted for the protection of east side citizens, and if they fail to do this, take immediate steps to have the contract annulled.
 2nd. Will you endeavor to appoint citizens to fill the vacancies on the Board of Health who will be diligent in compelling Fischer & Go. to live up to their contract in the reduction of garbage and if they find this to be impossible to annu1 the contract; and who will also work in sympathy with the east side citizens In their endeav- DTS to obtain relief from the unbear- able conditions that existed last sum- mer caused by overland, river, and Berkshire pond odors.

Bridgeport, Oct. 31st. MT. Thomas J. McNamara, President East Side Improvement Association,
 Dear Sir-Your association's letter ol the 3Oth received, and contents noted We Socialists believe that one of the very first duties of a city government is to safeguard the health and com fort of its citizens.
 I have inspected the contract exist. ing between Fischer & Co. and the City of Bridgeport and believe that this contract can be made the means of safeguarding the citizens of the East Side against the obnoxious odors of the past, if properly enforced. I therefore pledge myself, if elected Mayor of Bridgeport, to do all in my power to compel Fischer & Co., to live up to the contract If odors become apparent beyond the 300 foot limit es- tab b'fshed by the contract, I will i'm mediately recommend the Board o1 Health to move in the courts for its abrogation and the removal of the contract fromI Fischer & Co I pledge myself that I will appoint no one to the Board of Health with out first obtaining. from him specific assurances that he will cooperate with the East Side citizens in this matter throughout; not only to en- force the contract, but to prevent the creation of other nuisances, such as the vitiating of Berkshire pond with refuse and garbage sewage, and the creation of other sources of odors.
 Respectfully yours.

to me, as candidate for mayor, the two following questions:
 1st. If elected will you, if it appears that Fischer & Co.,, are not reducing the garbage in accordance with the terms of their contract with the city, do all in your power to compel them to live up to the clauses in the con- tract pertaining to odors especially inserted for the protection of East Side citizens, and if they fail to do this, take immediate steps to have the contract annuIled.
 2nd. Will you endeavor to appoint citizens to fill the vacancies on the Board of Health who will be diligent in compelling Fischer & Co. to live up to their contract in the reduction of garbage and if they find this to be impossible to annul the contract; and who will also work in sympathy with the East Side citizens in their en- deavors to obtain relief from the un- bearable conditions that existed last summer, caused by overland, river, and Berkshire Pond odors
 To both of these questions, I unhesi- tatingly answer yes. Trusting that the foregoing satisfies your desires upon the matter, remain,
