MEET IN HARTFORD
Third Party Men of State to Confer
 There Next Tuesday.

-z There will be meeting of repre- sentatives of the third party from all over. Connecticut at Hartford, next Tuesday, according to Senator Joseph w. AlsoD.
 The great question everyone is ask ing," said Senator Alsop, 'is how tc go ahead, what to do. Therefore, we will have a meeting next Tuesday ir Hartford to discuss the situation and find out just what will have to be done to launch the third party. Af- ter this meeting there will be state ment issued which will tell the Rooge- welt supporters in the State just how to proceed
 Mr. Alsop was asked if it was the intention of the third party to put a State ticket in the field in Connecti- cut. He was unable to state, saying that the movement had only just started and is still in an embryonic state. It will be impossible to say about State ticket. he said, until the meeting has been held next week and it is possible to get some idea Of the strength of the third party movement throughout the State.
 Senator Alsop says he is dumbfound- ed at the number of replies received in response to the call signed by Pres ident Luther, of Trinity College, and himself, asking those who are in sym pathy with the movement to commu- nicate with MT. Alsop.

After the success of eAlias Jimmy Valentine a play in which interesting types of the underworld were trans ported bodily to the other side of the footlights and involved in the action of a stirring and realistic drama, it is not at all surprising that MT. Arm strong has worked along similar lines in '.The Deep Purple.' The Poli Players this week are giving an in- teresting performance of this we'll de- veloped stirring melodrama MT. By ron, MT. Macauley, MT. Moore, Miss Adair and Miss Cliff carry the limit of the hard work in the development of the play and in a manner eliciting the highest commendation. After plays of petty talk, of futile situations, of sugary sentiment that lead mo- where, teThe Deep Purple'' is like a spring tonic administered to a blood less man.

LOCAL INVENTOR l. DEMONSTRATES DEVICE
 FOR CAMERA MEN
Photographers Club Holds Interesting Meeting at Dill Studio.

An electric flash lamp for use by photograp pflers has been invented by William Armstrong of 167 West ave nue, an employe of the Crane Valve Co., and it was the concenSus of opln- ion at the meeting of the Bridgeport Photographers Club last night that the new invention is vastly superior to anything else used for the same purpose, being much less cumbersome and heavy. The demonstrations were given at the Dill studio. The lamp consists of small box-Iike affair, two and half inches by seven inches Within is a mechanism, the nature or which only Mr. Armstrong knows, which creates a very strong flash or light suitable for taking photographs after dark. Application for "a pat ent has been made. MT. Armstrong has contracted to have the lamp man ufactured in Bridgeport, for the pres ent, by local concerns. The Bryant Electrical Co. will make the electrical apparatus and w. A. Smith & Son, cabinet makers, the box part. Ins lamp weighs but three and a half pounds. Other apparatus of similar nature weighs as much as I5 pounds, so that the advantage of the Arm strong lamp is obvious. 1t was dem- onstrated that the lamp IS apsoIulely 'fool proof" and premature expioslons are impossible.

AUDIT EXPERTS BILL FOR MONTH OF JUNE
 APPROVED LAST NIGHT

Perspiring Aldermen were content to let even Peter Whites bill for the month of June go the way of all self respecting bills, last night The warm weather" meeting of the finance committee failed to develop a single bit of opposition to any of the various bills which came before it. The four members of the committee, Aldermen Malcolm Macfayden, Pat rick H. Brady, William J. Moran and John E. Lyddy, sat in abated silence as they rnopped the precipitation from their faces with one hand, and signed their approval of bills with the other. The one object seemed to be an early adjournment.
 The White bill was the only signifi- cant thing which came before the meeting. This called for the. payment of $2,6O7. .35 for the month of June. Instead of the item, Other meals which has characterized previous bills, the item s.Allowance for subsistence was substituted. The Aldermen didnt t discover this fact, however, until af- ter the ball had been signed. Any way, it was too warm to bring this solitary item into question, even though. the same identical thing prov ed the big flaw in the previous bills which caused the strenuous fight on the part of Alderman Moran. z
