EXTENSIVE PLANS FOR
 ST. PATRIGK'S BAZAAR

One of the most extensive social undertakings in the history of St Patrfck's parish is the bazaar and whist planned for Eagles hall this evening.

 Refreshments will be served by the young women of the parish. Dancing will follow the whist. During the play concert will lend to the enjoy ment.

THE NEW LYRIC
'aTHE CHORUS LADy"


 Last nights performance of the fa- nous Rose StahTs four year success. The Chorus Lady,, was presented before a capacity audience at the New Lyric Theatre. The play and players were successes of the most emphatic mark, and if this cosy playhouse does not have capacity attendance through out the week, there must be something wrong with Bridgeport theatre patrons. The Frank Carpenter Stock co. head is the most perfect assemblage of true artists ever organized, and deserve double the price of the Lyric sched- ule The Chorus Lady is what is termed modern comedy, with it's central figure that of a typical show Miss Cleveland. In this part, slang and phraseo- -ogy predominate, and with a mingling of wit, there is the ever evident sign of philosophic briIliancy MT. Conness again illustrates his abiI- 1ty as genuine artist, as did Mss company may feel proud of the talk they have created among Bridgeport play goers. There is no ques tion but that this week will be the Lyrics rec ord breaker, the advance sac indicat- ing 1t, and the performance well wor- thy of 1t. Next matinee Thursday
 AS to individual mention, aside from Miss Cleveland and MT. Conness, spe- cial praise should be given the earn est and perfect performance of Florence Carpenter as Mora O'Brier'' Patricia's sister, who likes the glitter of light: James Devine as Patrick o Brfen, John Carol as Dick CraW- ford", Robert Elmer, Jeanette Noble Margaret Armstrong and the others of this perfect cast.

 ment In College

 On the Democratic ticket Harmon and Underwood were practically tied for third place. while Clark, Folk and Fisher finished poorly.

 Rough Riders Out In Force

Oklahoma City, okla, Jan. 24-What had been planned as a stampede for Col. Theodore Roosevelt resulted in an overwhelming victory for President Taft in the Fourth District conven- tion at Coalgate yesterday. Despite the reading Of a letter addressed to Chairman Edward Perry by Clifford Pinchot, urging that Senator LaFol- lette be indorsed, the convention in- Structed for Taft by vote of 118 to 32 and indorsed James A. Harris, pres ent State Chairman, for National Committeeman by the same vote.
 The climax came when the minority report, signed by only one of the eigh- teen members of the District Commit tee was read. Shrieking, bowling and other stampede tactics were resorted to, and pandemon1an of unbounded frenzy resulted when Chairman Perry, after the reading of the minority re- port which indorsed Roosevelt jump ed On the platform yelling at the top of his voice:
 slap Roosevelt in the face if you darer'
 Under the leadership of Chairman Perry a riotous demonstration was then carried on, in which the Rough Rider clement and a number of men who, it is. said, had not been in the convention hall until then were in the foreground. An American flag was the ''Rough Riders" Every violent effort possible was made to get the Roosevelt crowd to storm the plat form all of which, however, after ten to fifteen minutes of rioting, weak ened against the placid but determin- ed groups of Taft adherents. gathered around Jim Harris. who quietly smok- ed his cigar through it all.

Vitri0IiC Attack On Judicial System
 Of United States
Lawyer Connolly Charges Judges With Rever: ing Decisions At BeheSt Of Powerful Political Leaders
Especial from United Press. )

NSp9Cla1 On1L6Q Press
 New York, Jan. 24-The most sem sational and vitrioIic attack upon the judicial system of the United States in its history will be made by C. P. Connolly, lawyer and magazine writer in the issue of Everybody's s says he has worked for several years gathering statistics to prove his con- tention that the big business inter ests have retreated into the courts behind the judiciary He charac- terizes the result of his investigations as "an astounding tale of judicial perversion and malpractice"
 that when the highest courts of cer- tain states have rendered their deci- sions, sometimes unanimously, pow erful political leaders x either in person or otherwise have made their entrance into court and that there upon, the judges, like puppets at the vital importance, turned complete and undignified somersaults, reversing their previous decisions,
 Judicial opinions of our highest cour+s have been written in the offices of the legal departments of railroads and other big corporations. Many Judges are political henchmen who have pared and twisted the laws for the protection of a favored few. This corruption of our courts prevails in every section and it is becoming more and more difficult for the poor man to get a decision against a corporation.
 Evil decisions by the highest courts of any state do not poison the stream of law in that state alone; they flow from commonwealth to common wealth, corrupting the entire legal system of the country
 Connolly then cites incidents which he says prove his case and says that, many judges believe that criticism of the courts is "heretical and evil.'

POII'S

An immense hit at every perform ance, Ed Wynn, "the college boy comedian with the funny hat,' is fair ly making Poli's theatre shake with laughter and bids fair to break all records for hilarity at the popular playhouse before the end of the week. Wynn has an original style that is all his own and those who remember his earlier appearances in vaudeville and musical comedy remember his devel- opment into the present stellar posi- tion which he occupies as one of the greatest of comedians. He is assisted by Edmund Russon, an English come dian who is a great foil for Wynn and the two of them put up Faude- vile act worth going miles to see The furores of applause with which their effort is greeted show the favor with which the audience receives them.
 Rated as without exception the best musical act on the vaudeville stage to day and having the additional ad- vanta ges of being a splendidly staged scenic production and a little playlet as well, "An Old Time Halloween as presented by Ye Colonial quartet is we'll the headIiner this week. This is one of B. A RoIfe's star acts and worthi1y sustains the great reputation made by that producer in vaudeville Perfect in every detail the act itself is as much a delight to watch as the music is to hear. In particular is the work of Charles Edward, cornet Vir- tuoso, a feature of the act. The playing of the "Witch's horn,' an ex- traordinary instrument worthy of the odd name it bears-is one of the nov cities of the act.
 Henry Horton. famed as the crea- tor of the role of Eben Holden in that popular rural drama, has his faVor1te type to portray in the clever little sketch. Uncle Lem's Dilemma" in which he is appearing at Polls this week MT. Horton has two capable assistants and the little tabloid com edy is scoring hit and winning
 Marvels of strength, the three Mar cantonis. the trio of European aero bats who are one of the features or the weeks bill at Polls, do not con tent themselvese with the poses that Eare sufficient for the ordinary strong man. but perform the most astound- ing feats. Their own bodies furnish Che weights to be lifted, so there is no fake about the part that of the act yet their feats are so wonderful as almost to beggar belief.
 C1emons and Dean conclude their act with an acrobatic dance that is great hit Miss Dean is a pretty girl and her partner is one of the clever est eccentric dancers on the stage as attested by his extraordinary Tn ebriate's dance.'' which is one of the hits of the bill
 Other features of the weeks excep- fionaIly attractive offering at Polls include such acts as Sterling and voices in popuI@r Scotch ballads; Max mi Brothers and Bobby, duo of ec- centric acrobats ard a wonderful dog: the elctrograph with a motion picture comedy and Polls Concert orchestra, with popular musical selections. Don't miss the weeks great bill at the one genuine vaudeville theatre-and order sarly.
