Topping the bill next week at Polls Theatre will be B. A. Rolfe's big scenic production, "The Rolfonians'', which will be headed by Mir Rolfe himself. It has been five years since MT. Ro!fe appeared upon the stage, and this elaborate production has been promoted to gratify the public de- mand for his return to the stage once more, if only for a season, and with his customary thoroughness in doing things he has surrounded himself wi h some of the best talent that it is pos s1ble to procure, and in the beauti- full production of ''The Rolfonians'' he has surpassed all previous efforts in elaborate scenery, gorgeous costumes, described as "Vaudeville's Greatest Instrumental Music Act.' MT. Rolfe has long been regarded as Americas s leading cornet soloist, but his ability success as vaudeville producer. Among his hits he numbers such great vaudeville acts as "Ye Colonial Sep tette'', "The Leading Lady,, Paradise and other big productions. In pre- senting to the patrons of Polls '"The Rolfonians", Manager PoH Is afford ing the opportunity of hearing the deville some of it's biggest. successes. Surrounding MT.

CAVALRY OF THE
 LOCAL FORGE IS NOW ABOLISHED
Mayor Wilson and the Two New Commissioners Overrule Other Members of Police Board

Bridgeport's police cavalry" 1. e., two mounted patrolmen, was abolish ed last night by orders of the new administration. The horses will be sold and the riders will be assigned
 to regular beats with the other pa
 trolmen.
 Commissioners Hill and Bristol, the two new members of the police board were responsible for the change. Com missioners Baldwin and Baker warm ly defended the appointment of mount
 ed patrolmen and asked that this de- par tment of the police force be given a fair trial before being abolished.
 Mayor Wilson was on hand and when
 the matter came to a tie, he quick Iy broke it against the mounted force
 and the result Is that Bridgeport's police cavalry Is now officially abolish
 ed.
 The men will be retained on mounted
 duty until arrangements can be made to dispose of the horses profitably.
 Another important action taken up-
 on the suggestion and motion of Pres
 ident Baldwin, was to the effect that
 duty in uniform, must report to the nearest precinct, so that the officials of the department will have a means
 of knowing each night what specials in uniform are doing duty. As it is now, uniformed specials go on their beat without anyone al headquarters knowing about 1t. If there is any criticism of their work | the regular uniformed men are blam- | ed for it. To remedy this condition | Commissioner Baldwin's motion was | passed last night.
 Similar to his ruling in the case | of the fremen, City Attorney Pullman sent a finding to the board last night | to the effect that policemen are not | entitled to pay for days of absence except when legally permitted to bt | away This ruling is sure to crea tt | great disfavor among the policemen who are thus deprived of their salary | in case of sickness.
 Bernard I. Scully's application to be ] a special policeman was sent back tc | MT. Scully with the information tha | the board wants to know what his | reasons are for desiring to be 'spe- l cial"
 l At the next meeting, February 29, g 1 hearing on charges against Specia- | Officer Buckley will be held.
