HOW SCHOOLS COMPARE IN
 GLASS OF 1911

Incsu6ed among inc 112 students comprising ths senior class of the Eleh school, it is of interest to note that, aside from the local contsngcnt, the grammar schools of Fairfield, Stratford. Waterbury. and Denver, Colorado, are represented. Ninety one members of the class are products of the city public schools, seven of the parochial, one of private tnsti- tuition, one of an outside city unre- corded, and 12 of the towns already mentioned
 The detail of the eighth grade pre- paratory schools whose graduates con- stftute the class of 1911 is as fol- 1ows:
 Barnum, q; Prospect, 21; Maple wood. 14; Lincoln, 10; City Normal, 8; shelton, 5; Washington. 4; Black Rock, 1; Sacred Heart parochial, 4: St Augustine's parochial, 3; Fairfield. 5; Stratford, 3: Waterbury, 8; Chase Preparatory, I; Denver, Co.,, 1; undes- ignated city, 1.
 All of these students will not receive diplomas next Tuesday evening, how ever owing to the failure of a small number on the final examinations
 Barrium school usually contributes the largest number to the graduating class, while Prospect occasionally at fains first place. In 1910 these two schools were tied for the honor
 Of the pupils graduating with hon. ors this year, Barnum has the largest representation, one-half of the list, while Lincoln school is accorded hon. orabfe mention.

Prosecutor Brands
 Sees Teachings As
 Disguised Free Love
(special from United Press. )

Chicago, June 24-If Evelyn Arthur See is sent to States prison for con- tributing to the juvenile delinquency of Mildred Bridges, IT, the plain look ing High Priestess' of the Temple of the Absolute Life, it is declared, to- day. he will have been convicted out of his own mouth.
 For three days Mildred Bridges sat in the witness chair and defiantly withstood every attempt to make her admit Sees religious teachings were immoral.
 then asked her if the laws of absolute 'sNo, Evelyn taught us that when the laws of absolute life the laws of the State were to be supreme" said the child
 Burnham then took the stand him self and read from Manuscript No. B." of the Book of Truth With de- liberately timed phrases he read:
 'Tn my house ye shall not be gov erned by the Bible. Each man be- cdmes a law unto himself; each wom- an becomes a law unto herself"
 Then Burnham read more extracts which were a revelation, not of a re- ligious doctrine, but of the manner in which See wrought upon his agirl followers with sensuous philosophy.
 "It is,'' said the prosecutor, "the most palpable plea for free love, dis guised by the cloak of religion, that human ever read.'

Hungarians Object
 To Being Ridicu|ed

Representatives of all the local Hungarian societies met in the Rahoc- zi hall on Bostwick avenue on last evening to consider the subject of the unintentional misrepresentation of the American press of this city and vot- ed that the following statement be given to the press.
 ''Very often our district in West End is referred to as Huntown, we do not see why this certain section of the city should be made a subject to ridi- cule in the second city of the State and pride of Bridgeport. This section is inhabited mostly by Hungarians who own practically all of the real estate there but it is also scattered by other nationalities, if some of these other nationalities get into any kind of trouble they are referred to as Hungarians Our people as a rule are law abiding citizens, large tax payers bringing up their children in accordance to the custom of this coun- try therefore do not wish to be class ed as the undesirable citizens.
 We have appointed a press com- mittee of five men who will be glad at any time to furnish all the neces- sary information to the press in that district in reference to Hungarian news and from time to time will send articles to the press so as to get ac- quainted with our American friends" !"

for police purposes in the West End. The history of work of the police de- partment in East Bridgeport has thor oughly justified the establishment of the Second Precinct police station. But the West End is another rapidly growing section, far from police head quarters, and it is equally imperative that we should maintain such a build ing in the West End.'
 Supt Birnin gham pointing out the necessity for the proposed improve ment, called attention to the makeup of Bridgeport's population. We have the most cosmopolitan population in any city between New York and Bos- ton. 1t is but natural in a manufac- turing city of the size of Bridgeport, with it's varied population, that there should be sudden calls for police. We must meet conditions as they are. If we have to answer all hurry calls from police headquarters, we must admit that we are still in the village class. But if we want to be a modern, up-to- date department, we must have the precinct facilities
 Supt. Birmingham recently attended the convention of the International Police Chiefs Association in Roches- ter, where there are seven precinct stations as well as the headquarters.
 '-No one who is familiar with police york; said he, twill gainsay the ad- vantages,. or in fact the absolute ne- cessity of having the city divided into police precincts The arguments against the new station come from persons who are not familiar with the real conditions"

NEW PRECINCT STATION IMPERATIVE NECESSITY"
 SAYS SUPT. BIRMINGHAM
"To Give Up Plan Is To SetIe Back Into
 The Village Glass;" He Asserts
Those Who Oppose Proposed Improvement Are Not Aware of Real Conditions He Says-Refers to
 City's Constantly In creasng Population

Superintendent Eugene Birmingham, for many years head of the police de- partment and one of the oldest police men in point of service in the entire department, declared today that to abandon the plans for the erection of End would be to place Bridgeport in an undesirable place among the thriv- ing. growing cities of the country.
 Supt. Birmingham has been persis- tently recommending this improve ment for many years, in his annual reports, and with characteristic fore sight has also urged upon the com- rnissioners the advisability of secur- ing at this time land that may serve later as sites for still other precinct stations He viewed with no little displeasure the scheme under which it was suggested the Third Precinct station plans might be abandoned, and the department, relying upon the speedy response of motor vehicles could continue without a new building devoted to police use.
 Every well regulated city in the country" said Supt. Birmingham, 'has adopted the precinct scheme. It is just as important to have police stations scattered about the city as to maintain, fire stations. It IS import ant to have men on the spot whenever trouble occurs, and 1t is impossible to get this result without maintaining precinct stations.
 We have an energetic, progressive police commission. and we hope to have thoroughly modern building

NOpCCldl OulloQ FTGSS.
 St. Louis. June 24-In deciding that the pooling of stocks of the Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific and five subsidiary railroads does not constitute a merger for controlling Western rail- road traffic, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals today dismissed the governments suit to dissolve the com- bination.
 The decision, which is a clear vic- tory for the railroads, ends litigation started by the government three years ago. The chief allegation was that the Hartman interests had conspired to monopolize traffic to the Pacific coast
 Under the decision, the government lost in it's effort to prove Harrimans s Western railroad combine was a rail- road trust. Judge William c. Hook, of IIeavenworth, Kas., entered the only dissenting opinion. Willis H. Vande- vanter, now a justice of the United States Supreme Court, participated in the hearing, deliberation and conclu- sion of the case, and he now concurs in the appellate courts decision
 The proof shows that after 1901, as we'll as before, the rates for trans continental traffic were the same both the Union Pacific and Sor Pacific lines.'' the court says opinion, there has been no increase since then, with respect to either of these lines or impairment of service, no discDntinuance of efforts to satisfy the public, and no complaints of ship pers of any inferior or inadequate ser vice.
 '"The large number of initial carriers striving for she traffic have continued active solicitation for business over the lines which assured them the long est haul or otherwise benefited them most and agents of the two roads, which before 1901 were separate, are now joint, have continued to exersSe their influence to secure usinet- for either road, according to it's sva aslabiI- ity and always in opposition other active competitors like Enc sstnte Fe,

Denver and Rio Grande and others
 A substantial ma jority of the stOcI of the Southern Pacific Company has been held by parties other than the Union Pacific Company, but we fail t1 find any complaint by such holders of any discrimination against their road or of any failure to properly promote its welfare
 Hundreds of millions of dollars have since 1901. been expended o1 these roads. The physical condition has been vastly improved and their efficiency for public service as well as for private profit has been greatly enhanced. With this proof taken to- gether we think there has been nc conspiracy to restrain international Or. national commerce"
 Continuing, the opinion says:
 The same considerations lead fr the belief that no com mbiTa ton or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to monopolize trade or commercs among the States or with foreign 5la- tions was entered into. Moreover. the fact that the Union Pacific Company did not undertake to secure or control the Sante Fe Road a thoroughly suf- ficient, well equipped and powerfvr rival for trans-continental business or the Denver & Rio Grande road. q po- tenti91 and later an actual independ-
 ,werful rival for the same bus
 affords additional and coBs1t5- ----vSidence of no such combinations or conspiracy.
 The purchase by the Union Pacific soon after acquiring the Huntingdon stock of a majority of the Northern Pacific tends to the conclusion that. in view of the main reason for it's &C., quisition and of the other facts jtiSs referred to as well as to the total cessation of any relations between thas road and the Union Pacific Company, we are indisposed to give to that pur- chase alone any considerable signf1- canoe

MANUFACTURERS COMPARING TAX
 LISTS IN CITY
Evidence Is Being Sought to Ascertain If Inequal-
 ities Exist

Some revelations concerning Bridge ports tax list soon will be forthcom- ing, if the belief of a certain group of local manufacturers is realized.
 These men, representing some of the big industries of the city, have organ ized for the purpose of studying the tax problem. They are going over their plants item by item, and study ing the plants of their neighbors; then consulting the tax lists, item by item, and trying to find evidence of discrim- ination, or of improper valuations
 It is the belief of some that certain concerns are getting by'' very easily at the expense of some of the other concerns, and it is for the purpose of either proving or disproving this belief that the study is taking place.
 If these men are mistaken in their belief, it is probable that the public will hear little of it; but if they find that their suspicious are correct, a public statement may be forthcom- ing.
 It is said by the assessors that un- doubtedIy great inequalities exist in the taxation of manufacturing prop erty, and great ineaualitfes as between manufacturing property and houses and lands. The, work of decreasing the inequality has been going on since Mayor Buckingham took office, but has been impeded by the difficulties in the way.
 The law does not equip the assessors with inquisitorial powers and where they are refused assistance by the owners of the property are practically helpless because so much of what con- stitutes manufacturing values is in- tangible
 This, the assessors say, is another case where the candid man suffers, as against the selfish one, for the former shows disposition to assist the as- sessors, while the latter evades his duty as much as he can.

HOPE FOR
 MINORITY
 BILL NOW
Senator Shanley Believes House Will Pass it Inasmuch as Banks Promised Support if He Was Defeated

New Haven, June 24-That the low CT branch of the Legislature will re- cede from it's action of last week in passing the so-called Banks amend ment to the utilities bill and will pass the minority report when the matter comes before the House Tuesday is the opinion of Senator John F. Shan ley of this city, and MT. Shanley fur ther believes that the minority bill will be put through the House with very little, if any, opposition.
 Representative Banks who led the fight against the minority report in the House. said Senator Shanley, promised in his speech to vote for that measure if the Senate turned down the so-called Banks-Davenport bill. The Democratic and some of the Republican members of the House will attempt to make MT. Banks keep that promise when the matter comes up Tuesday. If Banks withdraws his opposition then there is no reason to doubt that the minority bill will go through the House without opposition to speak Of
 Tt was in urging the passage of the Banks bill that the former speaker pleaded for votes in favor of it, say ing that if the Senate adhered to it's action on the minority report and re- jected his bill then he would gladly vote for the minority and assist in it's passage when 1t came back to the House from the Senate.
 'sNow the Senate has disposed of the Banks bill. Turned it down flat yesterday and staunchly stuck to the minority report. Therefore, it is up to MT. Banks to keep his promise, and if he does-and there is no req son to believe he will do otherwise, the passage of the minority report is assured.
 ''The utilities legislation was ordered transmitted to the. House by the Sem ate yesterday under a suspension of the rules and is due to come up in the House Tuesday. Whether it will be acted on that day is problematical Delay may be asked for and an effort may be made to bring about a dead lock between the two branches by having a committee on conference named whose conferences of course, would greatly delay and possibly block any sort of utilities legislation. The vote on the Banks bill and minority report in the House last week was a tie, 11s to 11S. Speaker Scott dissolv- ed the tie by voting for the Banks measure"
