ALLIANCE HEARS
 TRENCH LECTURER

The Alliance Franchise gave. last evening, at the Stratfield, the second lecture of the month of December. There was 8 large audience, and very fashionable. MT. Godfrey, the presi- dent, introduced the speaker who was Prof. Louis Delamarre of New York University, and secretary general of the Alliance in America. He spoke on Francis Coppee, who might in some respects be called the French Wadsworth-Coppee was essentially a writer for the people. He loved to choose his subject from simple and humble scenes, and took more joy in the description of little bourgeois home in the suburbs, or a grocer in his shop, on the work horse of an omnibus than in more elaborate themes.
 All these things, as we'll as simple touching stories he wrote in verse that occasionally came pretty close to being prose, but which is always touch ing. He also wrote dramas some of which have had a great success, though with simple themes, and have been played by such artists as Sarah Bernhardt.
 Prof. Delamarre told several of the stories of the dramas, and read with admirable effect several of the poems. The audience showed great appreciation of the lecture, which is the second that Prof. Delamarre has given in Bridgeport.

Health Board Is Not Likely To
 Elect Tonight

At the regular meeting of the health board this evening it is unlikely that any action will be taken towards elect ing a successor to David W. Lynch, the sanitary inspector who it was re- ported several weeks ago was slated for retirement at the expiration of his present office.
 Stanley Hoyt, the candidate who has been most prominently mentioned for MT. Lynch's duties as sanitary inspector and clerk of the department, has not thus far consulted either Commissioners Lund and Bogart, the Republican members of the board whose support with that of one Dem- ocrat he must secure to be success full.
 The same is true of Lewis F. Eel ton, who wants to be elected garbage weigher. The Republican Commis- sioners will not be ready to act up- on. their candidates, it is said, until the candidates have talked over their qualifications for the position.
 It became known today that pr. D. M. Trecartin, the Republican sched- uled for appointment to succeed Frank G. Bogart, is slated for election to the presidency. John M. Lund, the Republican f1oldover, would like the presidency but the administration fa> vors pr. Trecartin. The new Demo- cratic commissioner will be Dr. Will liam J. Mclaughlin, according to the present slate.

Commission Meets
 On Trolley Fare
 Reduction Today
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 Hartford, Dec. 12-Hearing was re- stunned, today, before the public utili- ties commission, on Manchester's pe- ton for a reduction in the fare to and from Hartford from 15 cents to 10 cents. Attorney Benjamin SpOck. for the Connecticut Co.,, compiled with the commissions order to produce, in court, certain books and statements. He produced a considerable amount of railroad statistics, the subject of a portion of which is being kept secret by the commission in accordance with a recent ruling.
 Attorneys Burke and Hyde for the petitioners criticised the evidence Sub- mitted by the trolley company on the ground that it was boldly prepared, with an eye to the case in hand. They told the commissioners that a former deputy auditor of the trolley company had given them information which led the petitioners to believe other sta tistics existed more favorable to the peoples cause and perhaps more ac- curate generally.
 Lawyer Spock repliedI that, if the petitioners wished to impugn the sworn testimony of the company's ac- countants, the petitioners ought at least make public the name of their informant.
 The commission adjourned the hear ings indefinitely to consider the mos tion of the petitioners that the com- pany be compelled to produce the other statistics Also. the adjourn ment was taken to allow Professor George F. Swain, of Harvard, to set a date to give expert testimony on the value of the Connecticut Com pany's lines in this state. The ad- journment was ordered with a warn- ing from Chairman Higgins that the commission would not hesitate to ask for any other existing books Or state- mentS.

KELLERMAk'S SMILE WAS TOO MUCH FOR
 GEORGE B. MAXWELL
Journal Circulation Man SO Dazzled That Auto Hit Him
 Arm Broken

George B. Maxwell, the enterprising circulation man of the New York Ev- ening Journal, is missing from these parts, because a broken arm is keep ing him from his duties, The Jour nal mans mishap came from his try ing to do two things at once. Yer satile as he is, he failed in this par ticular instance.
 George was passing Broadway and 39th street few days ago, when he recognized Annette Kellerman, the diving Venus famous in the vaudeville circuits, stepping from her automo- bile.> The engine had become stalled and she was about to crank it her. self.
 With his customary alacrity, George doffed his turban and stepped from the curb. As he laid hold of the crank, Annette bestowed a radiant smile upon him.
 So dazzled was George by the bril- Eance of her smile that he forgot for the fatal instant what he was about, and the car. shooting forward sud- denly bowled him over. He was taken away in an ambulance and af- ter his injuries had been attended in a hospital, he went to his home.

All SteepIechase
 Cases Are koIIed
Charges Against H. Eugene Mo- Cam, Daniel Guilty and Michael Murray Won't be Pressed in Common Pleas Court

Owing to the fact that a jury ac- quilted Capt. Paul Boyton of violat- ting the Sunday law by conducting a dance hall at Steeplechase Island, the cases against H. Eugene McCann, Daniel Guilty, and Michael Murray, all accused of violating the Sunday law at this resort, will be nolIed Prosecutor Elmore s. Banks of the court of Common Pleas said this morning that while no action had been taken he would confer with Judge James F. Walsh in regard to entering a nolle in the cases.
 Capt. Boyton's case was made a test and tried before a jury in the court of Common Pleas criminal side, about a month ago. After a hard fought trial the jury acquitted Capt. Boyton. In view of this verdict the State feels that there is little to be gained by attempting to prosecute the other men arrested on the same charge. McCann is manager of the Bridgeport baseball club which play ed Sunday baseball at the island Guilty was formerly manager of the dance hall, and Murray conducted a pool room.

Judge Pearne Says
 Personal Tax Law :.
 Is Unconstitutional
Especial from United Press.)

M1ddletown, Dec. 12.-The person. al tax law is unconstitutional accord ing to Judge Pearne, who. in police court. today, in sentencing Sebastino Alessi, for non-payment of the S2 personal tax and costs of $15.35, said that as counsel to the county com missioners he would advise them not to pay the town $1 day for Alessi's labors at the jail.
 "At this season of the year. said Judge Pearne, there is nothing to do but sit around"
 Alessi's board will cost the county commissioners $2.25 a week for about three weeks The personal tax law provides. according to Judge Pearne, that the county commissioners pay the town $1 for every day Alessi spends in the Haddam jail At this rate, he said, the county was going to be heavy loser through the sem tence, whereas the town would be re- imbursed. The wohle matter ought to be carried to the supreme court, said Judge Pearne, and, as counsel for the county commissioners, he would so advise.
 Another delinquent, Salvatore Sa- 1onia, settled his case for $5.5O.
