WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

In the passing away a few days ago of General Frederick Grant, the illustrious son of an illustrious sire, the Woman < Christian Temperance Union lost a valued and valiant friend.
 Gen. Grant headed the great temperance parade in Chicago two years ago, and when twitted about it by some of his fellow of ticers, his reply soon set them to knowing just where he stood on the important matter of prohibi- ton.
 He advised young men never to begin drink, for it was their greatest enemy, and also said; If by sacrificing my life l could put an end to liquor 1 would count it blessed privilege, and would thank Almighty God for the privilege. "
 In the late efforts that are be- ing made for the restoration of the canteen in the army, he wrote a letter to the Union Sig nal, the national organ of the w. c. T. U., saying he was heart and soul against such a measure and gave his reasons why-one

Game Warden
 Feeding Black
 Ducks In River
Diving Broad Bills Are All Right, But Shallow Water
 Kind Are Starving

In the opinion of the oldest water men, the ice condition in the rivers and harbors is the worst in many years, and the condition of the ducks having to depend upon feeding in shallow water is serious indeed.
 Attention was called to the Com missioners of Fish and Game and County Warden Wilbur Smith has spent two days on the Housaton!c river studying conditions and seeing their search for food. The feeding g places of the black ducks where there is bare ground has been noted and food is being placed for them, and if the ducks take to the corn rations, more will be supplied and in this way it is hoped to tide them over until the ice goes out of the river.
 Large ockS of broad bill ducks are in the open part of the river and they are all right, being diving ducks, and they can be seen diving and bringing up food in their bills, but the blao k for his food, and when the ice covers his feeding grounds. instead of rais- ing into the air and flying south, he sits around on the ice, and a good many starve to death.
 The warden took a boat and pulled it over thS breakwater with the aid of a companion, and went down to the Spindle Light on the outside of the breakwater, and here 1t was seen to what straits the black duck was as they were found crawling into the crevices of the huge rocks forming the breakwater. An cd duck hunter says that they are feeding on the barnacles on the rocks.

Senator And Former Alderman Takes Office As HarbOr-
 master This Morning

Garry Paddock took office as har- bormaster this morning to succeed Charles H. Morris who has held the post for the past six years. Harbor- master Paddock arrived in the office in the Warner building about o'clock this morning. Harbormaster Morris, the retiring incumbent of the place promptly turned over to him all the keys and effects or the office.
 Harbor7na naster Paddock has been associated with the Bridgeport Hat company for the past six years. Soon after he reached the office this morn ing he received a number of gifts After he had opened several boxes of cigars he came on several packages which he thinks were sent him by Miss Gertrude Grove, Sten ographer at the Bridgeport Hat company. In one of the packages was a pair of phOny field glasses made from material used to wrap hats and with the edges plentifully besprinkled with lamp black so that any one putting them to their eyes would be marked up. In another package was megaphone fixed in the same way.
 4 thermometer and a yachting cap the factory with which Harbormaster Paddock was formerly connected, were among the gifts received. Boxes of cigars labelled From a friend on the point and "A friend in the 12th'' were among the gifts.

County Court House Probe Up
 To The People
Especial from United -Press.) }

New Haven, Feb. 15-An investiga- tion is considered only a matter of time. today, in the charge of irregu- larity against the New Haven coun- ty building commission. Commissions CT F. D. Bishop, who says the struc- ture will cost S1.30O 900 in excess of the expected s495, ,OOo put it up to the people" to- start the probe. But the only investigation possible, outside of court procedure by injunction, is one ordered by the county committee of the legislature. The courthouse was to be completed in IS months. It will take nearly four years.
 This is not the first row over the building. Attorney John K Beach. one of the original commissioners, re- signed because he was dissatisfied with the manner of awarding contracts. Almost at the outset there was trou- ble over the selection of an architect. It was claimed then that a majority of the commissioners played favorites. Again on the sculpture there was a similar row. The present commission is made up of Lieutenant Governor Blakeslee, Congressman John o. Til. son, Attorney Frank S. Bishop and County Commissioners Walter, Will kinson and Geddes.

Vaniman InVentS New Revolutionary
 DirigibIe AirShip
Believes His Latest BaIlon. VII Sustain as Perfect EquOlibrium in the Air as Steamer on Ocean Surface
Especial from United Press.)

NSpECldl OLAAS0 SSS-J
 New York, Feb. 15-A dirigible air ship that will not only automatically ascend and descend at will but which will sustain as perfect equilibrium in the air as a steamer on the surface of the ocean has been invented by Melvin Vaniman. according to an an entific American.
 The inventor who recently built the giant dirigible Akron but failed in an attempt to cross the Atlantic, said his previous failure resulted because he had not solved the problem of equilibrium. Vaniman, who is back ed by F. A. SeiberIing, of Akron, O., is preparing to build an air craft which he thinks will revolutionize aeronautics.
 The envelope of his balloon will be made of a cotton and rubber mixture with the finest piano wire woven in such a way that it will have the max imum tensiI strength. This, he says, will resist the increased pressure in the gas bag due to a rise in tempera- ture, from the suns rays.
 Inside the envelope will be a col Iapsible air ballast tank. If the op- orator wishes to ascend, he allows the air to escape. To descend he merely pumps in more ballast" With this kind of craft, Vaniman says it would be possible to remain in the air for weeks. He believes it could be adapt ed for economical transportation of passengers, troops or explosives.
 Thomas A. Edison, when interview ed, today, in his laboratory in Fla st Orange, regarding the invention, said:
 strictly speaking. I do not believe in dirigibles, although I know noth- ing about them except what I have read. But Vaniman has applied a principle which is so obvious that it does not need to be demonstrated. wonder that it has not been thought of before. It is the simple idea that usually proves a success"

Special from United Press.)

New York, Feb. 15-Club circles in this city are widely divided, today, as the result of the action of Mrs. Noble Mcconnell. noted society leader. in stopping the dance of the Mozart so- ciety of New York, at the Hotel As- tor, early today, to denounce those who were dancing the Turkey Trot.''
 Mrs. Mcconnell is president of the organization and she openly declared that the persons who participated in the movements of the dance were "of- lending common decency.''-
 There was no attempt to violate her order afterward but this was due in part to Mrs. McConnelFs action in having hotel employees watching the dancers.

New York, Feb. 15-Between $20, 900 and $25, GOO in cash was the booty ob- tained by three holdup men in one of the most desperate taxicab robberies in the history of downtown New York, today The cash belonged to the East River National Bank and was taken from two of it's messengers who were enroute to another bank in a taxi to deposit the money. Both men were blackjacked into inconsistencies and the chauffeur of the taxi, after being terrorized with a revolver, was forced, at its point, to drive the robbers to where they had a big automobile, in which they escaped. The two men who were held up were William Smith, 61, Of Brooklyn, and Frank Werrell, 16, of Paterson, N. J., both of whom were employed by the bank.
 They were in the taxicab with the money, $15,o0O in five dollar and prob ably $10,e0O in ten dollar bills, when at Trinity Pace and Rector street three men Jumped on the cab. One sprang on the seat with the driver and the other two took places at the doors on the running board.

Two policemen were passed while the cab was running to Park Place and Church street, but the driver was afraid to say anything and the windows of the cab were up so the police could not see. Inside. There was nothing in the appearance of the cab to attract attention. At Park side jumped out, carrying the bag which contained the money. All three
