PETER WHITES
 BILLS TO BE PAID
ALDERMEN LYDDY AND MORAN TO APPROVE FOLLOWING t EXAMINATION OF
 CONTRACT.
BODINES BILL OF $1,OOO FOR
 NEW AUTOMOBILE IS ALSO 3 APPROVED AFTER HIS < EXPLANATION.

If the Audit committee has contract ed to pay the expenses of Peter White and his assistants, the now famous audit bills will go the way of all self respecting bills. Alderman William U. Moran and Alderman John E. Lyddy withheld their signatures from the bills at the meeting of the Finance committee last night declar- ing that they wanted to read over the contract that has been made with the audit expert. before they signed their approval. They both. frankly stated that If this contract provides for the payment of the expenses of, White and his assistants, then they will be ready to approve the bills because they are legal obligations and the. city will nave to pay them sooner or later.
 They had the assurances of John Taylor, chairman of the Audit com mtttee that such contract was made, but preferred to see the contract As soon as they have. chance to look this over they will put their sigma lures to the bills. This makes it very probable that the bills will go be- fore the Common council at it's next meeting with the approval of the Finance committee.
 A new White bill made it's appearance before the Finance committee last night to cover the expenses for April. The audit experts want g, 2,352.14 for that month. The bill was more in de- tail than the original bill, and even
 more so than the revised statement of the original bill "Other mealsn was an item that did not appeal ito AL derman Moran as being very specific or clear and. he raised objection over the bills on that account. Alderman Lyddy didn't like the idea Of the Au- dit committee having. asked and sub mitted to- the Common counci1,' an opinion from. the. city attorney. He thought the opinion should have been secured by the mayor. Alderman Moran said that the revised edition of the original bill met with his sat isfaction excepting the one item. "Other meals."~ He was informed by Alderman Malcolm aMacFayden and Alderman Patrick H. Brady who were in favor of approving the bills, that it was always the practice for ex- perts to submit bills for. such expens- es. MT. MacFayden thought it was displaying doubt of honesty of the Audit committee to- question the bills because of that one item.
 The committee discussed the matter from all angles for fully one hour. Chairman Taylor of the Audit com mittee was called by. telephone and asked about the contract. He was willing to go to his factory and get the contract and bring. 1t to the meet ing. It was too late to do that so the committee decided to wait: until

THE NEW LYRIC

The success of the Carpenter com pany in the present weeks offering,
 Green Stockings" is fully equal to that of any previous week, for the theatre is filled completely at each per formance, and the house rings with the laughter and the applause bestoW- ed upon the players, whose efforts gave complete satisfaction.
 Green Stockings" affords Miss Cleveland and all her company splen- did opportunities for fun making, and they make the most of the advantage. Miss Cleveland herself has in the role of Celia Farraday, character which written expressly for her, and she Is achieving new triumphs, second only to those she secured last week. Miss strickland also has a part which IS far better than any she has before had. and in it she is acquiring new Strickland's work is that she never overdoes it. but keeps always within the bounds, lending to her work an at mosphere of naturalness which adds greatly to it's merit.
 "Jack"Kennedy, who joined the com pany this week as the comedian, does excellent work as William Farraday, success from the outset. He bids fair to become one of the most favored members of the company, for his work shows an excellent conception, care ful and intelligent handling, and a genius which will make him decidedly popular.
 All the roles in "Green Stockings are splendidly taken. and the produc- tion is finely staged. It is big treat for the local theatregoers to see one of the latest and best comedies pre- sented for the first time in Bridgeport by q stock company. even before the the larger cities of the country
 s:Green Stockings' will be. seen at all the regular performances this week and the prices remain just the same, the popular Lyric scale which has pre- vailed from the outset of the engage ment. The production is well worth seeing.
 "Old Heidelberg," the play which will be presented next week, was one of the late Richard Mansfield's great est successes. and later, was exploit ed by Aubrey Boucicault. himself a Nancy. It will afford the Carpenter company another opportunity to app pear to the best advantage and an- other week of extreme pleasure for all who witness 1t.
 Miss Cleveland, HIT. Conness and all the other principals of the company will have roles which will give great delight to all, and the play will be very handsomely and effectively stag cd with "a wealth of detail, and a breadth of treatment which will make this offering the heaviest yet staged at the Lyric theatre. Tn fact, the great scenic environment given the play will necessitate the raising of the curtain nightly at o'clock sharp, a fact which every patron should bear in mind. All should be seated in time to witness the opening scene of the others and the annoyance to the acc tors which will surely result from late comers
 "Old Heidelberg will be one of the biggest dramatic treats of the sea son. Seats are already on sale and are be- ing taken so fast that a big week is assured. The early ones are those who will get the best seats. Be warn ed. in time, therefore, and yet yours early.

The Raiife.sen system OF rural banks

described in these columns. consti-
tutes cooperative credit arrange
ment among farmers exclusively. It
is confined entirely 10 agricultural
communities and its membership Is
composed only of farmers. Its object
is to secure by collective action much
needed credit facilities for cultivatins
and moving crops. There is no eXpec-
tation of profit in the way of div-
bends. management is gratuitous. and
the object OF the system. in brief. is
to obtain working capital through co.
operation. The Raineisen system has
no commercial features.
Organization of the Popular hanks.
The popular banks" or the Schulze-
Delitzch system. on tho other hand
has a broader field OF operations The
greater numbers of shareholders in the
system are farmers. but especial at
tention is given to the needs and Geo.
nomic character of town dwellers For
this reason the system would seem TO
be admirably suited to the agricultural
communities OF the Southern states
which as rule. consist OF village
or small town which is the social hus
ness centre of an outlying farming
region. The Schulze- Delitzch banks
also unlike the strictly rural banks
have an extended area OF operations
and large range OF business. They
also represent considerable accumu-

tradition that they turn to frogs

OF capturing them is most interesting.
They have what they strangely call
'sora horse" strongly resembling
a peach basket in Size and shape and

knock them down with long paddles.
This method. OF course, Is only used
at night. Every year many white
hunters visit the Indian Reservation
and employ the Indians as their
guides in hunting this toothsome bird.
