SPOONING COUPLE
 ARRESTED IN PARK
 HAD BEEN MARRIED
But to Keep Their Secret They Forfeited $50 In
 Court Today

? The strange story of secret mar riage last February, which is not yet known to the families of the bride and bridegroom, was disclosed in 3 peculiar manner at Police headquart- CTS late last night, and then further disclosure of particulars expected this morning in the city court did not naterialize, even though, the with holding of the secret cost the bride groom $50.
 Special Policeman Lengyel who is on duty in Beardsley park is respon- sible for the partial disclosure of the romantic wedding. But owing to the fact that both parties are now be- lieved to have advanced fictitious names at police headquarters the con- tinuation of the romance may be in definite.
 Lengyel found the pair spooning i1 Beardsley park late last night, and he ordered them home. Their re- fusa1 to go led him to charge them with disOrderly conduct and he placed both under arrest. His conduct was upheld at police headquarters, for there have been numerous complaints of the actions of spooning couples in special policeman is primarily to see that the etiquette of the parks is ur to the best standards.
 When they reached police head quarters Lengyel entered the charge of disorderly conduct against the pair
 That's not right" demonstrated the man., we have a right to do as we please"
 q suppose you'd keep this girl out there in the park until midnight if ] hadn't come along," continued Leng- vel.
 Nobody has a better right" re- torted the prisoner. She's my wife, Then he said they were married last February but that for several req sons, one of them because of religious differences, they had not seen fit to take their families into their con- fidence.
 The man, who said he was 21, gave the name of David Apstein. He re- fused his street address, said he lived in the city. He was feet inches tall and weighed 132 pounds.
 The young woman said she was Alice Sherwood, aged 20. She is 5 feet and weighs about 130.
 Apstein promptly counted out $50 and had plenty of money left, ap- parently. Bail having been set at S25 each, they were liberated, and this morning neither answered when the two names were called in the city court

achieving the aims of that assocfzl ticn
 The car which made it's appearance in Bridgeport today has covered 70.0eo miles, all told. On this particular trip it has covered 4,60O miles. The pro- posed national. highway will be 3.S43 miles across the continent from Los Angeles to New York. In the, car on it's trip across the continent were Col. Dell M. Potter, national organizer, and Judge J. M. Lowe, president 6f the association, aside from MT. Smith and MT. zak-
 In speaking about the trip Mir. Zak said: "The car has certainly stood up well. Tn all the trip there were only two tire changes on the road. Of course there were other tire changes on the trip, but mean so far as dur ing the, hours we traveled there were only two times when we had to get out and make tire changes. Not a single difficulty was given by the me- chanical parts of the machine. Not a single part was broken or put out of working order. | think that Is won derful demonstration, especially con sidering how hard I drove the machine at times. It was quite record that in one of the front tires we carried Los Angeles air all the way until we reached New Jersey when we had a puncture."
 The machine was taken to the To- comobile plant this afternoon.

"Its up to the parents of the city to see that their children, especially the boys from. IA to IS years of age, hour,' said Supt. Birmingham of the Police department today. The super intendent was discussing the recent police cases in which young men and boys were involved.
 There are lot of young fellows who are becoming outlaws, just be- cause they are allowed to stay out
 on the streets late at night. They fall into bad company and form hab-
 it's that will sooner or later land them
 in our hands"
 The immediate cause of the dis
 cussion of the superintendent was the slate that was presented to Judge
 Foster of the city court. It included
 three young men who had nearly
 wrecked a freight train on the West
 End viaduct: four East Side boys who
 had held up a trolley car, later at- tackled an inoffensive negro and other pedestrians; two small boys charged
 with burglary, and two others charg-
 ed with theft. The boys in the two
 last cases ranged from to 12 years
 of age. The quartet of East Bridge port DOyS were, dDOuL 10 years odCn,
 and the three who figured in the train incident were from 16 to IS. Among the most glaring of the re- cent outrages was the tour of the East Side by gang of young fellows ranging from 5 to 20 years, last evening.
 They started a fight in East Main street, near Howe street, went through Kossuth street and attacked two passersby, then held up trolley car and started to rough-ho the crew, near Stratford avenue and East Main street, and fleeing at, the ap- proach of the police, finally wound up their sensational evening just be- fore midnight by attacking Theodore Cook, a negro waiter.
 What time is it?" asked the lead CT of the gang, William McMahon, better known as Monk McMahon. The negro quickened; his pace, for he knew that the question was the customary forerunner of a blow on the head and the snatching of the watch of the victim. w
 The police don't believe McManon
 had any such plans, b1it merely want ed to start some tIiing. Z. McMal1on and his crowd set upon the negro but Patroln1an Henkel who had been trailing the crowd arrived in time to l save him from serious harm.

FROM LOS ANGELES TO BRIDGEPORT IN
 TYPEI LOCOMOBILE
Remarkable Trip of Bridge port Made Machine Which
 Visits Here Today

For the first time, so far as Is known, transcontinental automobile visited Bridgeport today. A 1910 mod el, type l. Locomobile, built at the plant of The I1ocomobile company in this city, found it's way through State street this forenoon and pulled up in front of Bullen's cafe where it re- mained for an hour or so, attracting much attention. The machine was labeled and placarded with signs which were to the effect that it had left Los Angeles, May 15 for the pur- pose of organizing divisions of the National Old Trails, Ocean to Ocean highway association
 It has made it's way across the con- tinent in almost straight line to New York and the object is to estab- fish the route it followed as the na- tional highway across the United States. This route goest through 16 states and is as direct And straight as is possible to make it. The object of the association Is to work toward getting Congress to pass a bill for good roads and appropriations for citation has routed. All along the road the car made stops long enough to or- ganize branches or divisions of the as- sociation and all told there are now Zl6,3l4 momDeFS enfOlleu. IO support the movement.
 Louis M. Pawlett, executive engineer of the Locomobile plant happened to be in New York, yesterday, when he saw the car. He was attracted by the fact of it's being a Locomobile and de- cided that it would be splendid thing to have the machine visit the local plant where it was built. He got in contact with Bert c. Smith, who is representative of the Los Angeles Times, a newspaperman who has been in charge of the trip, and the driver of the car John F. Yak, and after some trouble because of previous arrange ments, prevailed upon them to come to Bridgeport with the car. Their plans were to ship the machine back to Los Angeles and return themselves imme- diately by train.
 MT. Pawlett brought MT. Smith and other New York gentlemen interest ed in the automobile business, back to Bridgeport in one of the latest Lo- comobile makes, the 1913 model, Loco Little Six. MT. Smith rode on the trip to Bridgeport in this car and later expressed himself in this manner:
 q have always claimed that the machine I made this trip in was the best on earth. After riding in the late product of the same people l claim that it is the best product In the other place. 1t certainly is an Ideal car and rldeS SmoOthIy ana Hlce- ly. think the Locomobile people have made rapid strides toward the perfect car"
 In bringing the transcontinental car to Bridgeport it is MT. Pawlett's 1iea that this city should start to organ ize local lewiston of the national association and these plans will be carried out in the immediate future. Within short time local division vii. be organized with a president, vice president and secretary, to work with the national association toward
