nTENFOOT" CENTERS BONE. OF CONTENTION

The question of allowing the Con necticut Go. to place rails with ten foot centres on Fairfield, East Wash | ington and Noble avenues was heard | before Judge HoIcomb in the superior court today. It came up as an appeal by the city of Bridgeport from an or
 der of the Public Utilities commission which decided that the Conn Co.,, should be allowed to lay the ten foot centerS.
 John K Punderford, general man ager of the Conn Co.'S lines in this state was the principal witness for the company. He said ten foot cen- ters were asked for in order to pro tect the public not so much from col lisions of cars but from accidents
 arm or other part of the body out
 of one car as it passed another. He
 also admitted that the company had
 a selfish reason because if the larger rail centers were allowed there would be less danger of the corporation be- coming entangled in damage suits as a result Of accidents to passengers.
 The city opposed the company's pe- tition upon the ground that to in- crease the rail centenS would take too much of the roadway in such narrow thoroughfares aE Fairfield and No ble avenues. The city brought out the fact that cars of the larger type have been run on Barnum avenue on ten foot centers without any danger. The members of the Streets and Sidewalks committee of the Common Council were on hand to testify regarding Barnum avenue but Judge Holcomb ruled that inasmuch as the Barnum avenue matter had not been consid- cred by the public utilities commission in the present petition, he could not hear it now.
 City Engineer Alfred H. Terry was the first witness called by the city and former City Engineer Maurice F. Me- Kenna was the second and last. MT. | McKenna testified that from his ob- serva tions. big cars could pass safely | on nine foot centers. If the tracks were properly laid there might be l danger of collision.
 In the event that the ten foot cen | ters were laid the witness did not think it feasible to take off any more | of the sidewalk on Fairfield avenue l between Main street and Park ave nue. Counsel for the Connecticut Go. l did not cross examine the witness.
 City Engineer Terry testified that | traffic on Fairfield is very heavy and | the sidewalks are now too narrow for 1 I business street. He didn't think it i would be feasible to decrease the width of the sidewalks if the ten foot | centers were allowed.
 Much stress was laid by counsel for he company that the rails in Fair field avenue are not now in the center If the roadway. Counsel brought out sffe fact that if ten foot centers were flowed the distance between the ,outh rail and the south curb would ,e increased. The city engineer ad- mitted this but said the width of tho

 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the, hair of its lustre, it's strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast.

Whitman Expects to Have State
 Close its Case Today

New York. Oct. 17.-UnabIe to com plete his case against Police Leuten- ant Charles Becker. last night. be- torney Nc lntyre in cross-eNaminiug witnesses, District Attorney Whitman started to rush matters when the trial was resumed. today He had only few witnesses left
 Mcintyre sprung a distinct surprise on the prosecution when he let it be known that he relied on former Dis break down Jack Roses story. Jerome was to be called to swear that he and Attorney John W. Hart were present when Becker called up Rose at Harry Pollock'S house and that mention whatever was made by the policeman of the crime nor did he tell Rose that 200 policemen were looking for him
 The defense expected this attack on Roses truthfulnesS to help the ac- cused policeman materially.
 4 Becker expected to throw blame for the murder of RoSenthal directly on Rose, Vallon, Webber and Schepps. He insisted that he would take the stand in his own defense and Me Intyre said, today, that he would probably be sworn as the last wit ness.
 In the Times subway, said he made connection from one of the public booths at 2.57 the morning that Ros- enthal was killed. He said the con nection was with the phone Audubon c694 and then Lucius Haywood, an number was the phone number of the a apartment house where Becker resid ed Jack Rose testified that he call ed Becker from the Times station
