GANGSTER MUST GO,
 IS WILDER'S sEDICT
Increasing Fines Will be Imposed as They Are Rounded
 Up by Police

Strong efforts are to be made by the police of Bridgeport to suppress gangsteris1n which has been on the increase of late The practice of rowdies and other hoodlurns stand ing upon street corners and openly insulting mothers wives and young girls who have occasion to use the sidewalks is to be broken up with strong hand. Though the police have been active in the crusade, a system of picketting on the part Of gang
 members has given timely warning ions of the law.
 The many complaints recently lodged of annoyance and insult has determined the authorities upon strict measures and that those coming be- fore the court in future charged with sidewalk lettering will feel the hard hand of the law was made clear to- day in City Court by Judge Frank L.. Wilder. After voicing his saEisfac- tion over the clever work performed by Patrolmen Carl Henkel and John Anderson in rounding up four mem bers of a gang at East Washington avenue and Hallett street. Judge Wilder expressed the hope that the police would continue the good work, promising that the penalty would be increased in each bona hde case pre- scented to him by the officials until the nuisance has been stamped from Bridgeport.
 Officers Henkel and Anderson last night arrested John GunSesy, 10 years old, Andrew Previs, IS, Thomas Chenick, 21 and John Gedro, 19, who with ten to fifteen other youths of the same age have persistently an- noyed young women, often using vile and indecent language. Many com plaints had been recorded, but the of fcers were unable to get close enough to the offenders to secure their fden- tity. The officers therefore sought out watchmen employed by the Sing CT company who were familiar with inc cITlnTifS and that their quarries. Fines ranging from $5 to SIS were imposed.

TO TAKE OVER EXPRESS cos.
Senator Gardner Introduces Bill Proyid-
ing for Government Ownership.

Washington. d. c., Feb. Ex-senator
Gardner of Maine yesterday introduced
bill under which the government would
take over the properties of express com.
panies and operate them as a part OF
the postal service, extending the service
to the rural delivery. The measure in.
dicates the probable cost of taking over
the properties as follows:
Real property, Sl4,932, 1859; equipment
S!,3sl ,405; materials and supplies, $780,
2lo; advance payments on contracts, S.
s3c666 and franchises, good will, etc,
$i0.S77 $50, total of $50, l65.sl9.
While the balance sheets of the COM
panies show other assets of nearly $780,
100000 Senator Gardner argues that
these are not devoted to express sery-
ices and that this property might be re-
tanned by the corporation without i'm
pairing its value.
