WILL TALK ON
 MESSAGE ROM
 COL. ROOSEVELT
Big Rally of Progress sive Club Sunday
 Night

1 Sunday night, May 18th, at 8 o'clock the people of this city will have an 1 opportunity to hear Hon. Walter M.
 Chandler, Progressive representative
 from the State of New York. The | papers have been filled lately with l the talk of ama1gamation and the uniting of the Progressives and the Republicans. and only Friday night l the matter was taken up at Green wich where the Progressives held a dinner. The following is taken from a letter which Ex-President Roosevelt
 wrote to the club: we stand abso- Iutely for our platform. We believe in applying the principles of our party
 platform to party management as well as to governm ent. There is no place in our ranks for bosses.
 This has been one of the bones of contention that led to the split in the Republican party. There must have been lots of thinking along these lines otherwise over four millions would not have cast their votes in protest to being governed by bosses. MT. Chandler will no doubt touch on this all absorbing topic at the rally tom orrow night at the Plaza theatre.
 He will necessarily deal with the tariff bill and questions now before Con- gress, and if you wish for news first
 handed and fresh from the scene of agitation don't faff to bring your fam lily and your friends to this big meet ing. The Progressive party is thor l oughIy in accord with Linco1n's state nent that this is government ''of the people and for. the people" and this will be annunciated by the speak CT tomorrow night
 The exercises will not be lengthy and they will be of such a character that every one can participate in them. No admission fee / will be charged and the entire house will be thrown open for those who come. JTshers have been provided to avoid confusion and to assist in seating.
 The Progressive club is especially for tunate in securing the services of this gentleman and it is only made possi- bIe, his visit here, by leaving Sunday morning and returning on the 9:36 train so he will be in Washington early Monday.
 The Progressive club of this city
 seeks to get the citizens and voters aroused with the knowledge that the more they know of their government
 and how to proceed in it's manage
 lnent the more interest they will take.
 They are promoting to the best of
 their ability the campaign of educa-
 ton. Knowledge is power and the
 more knowledge one possesses of the
 affairs of the government the greater
 will be the power in directing and in
 assisting in directing the affairs with
 the consent of the governed.

(By Our Staff corres.)

Hartford. May 24.-The several Bridgeport matters in the General As semloly relating to bonds progressed som ewhat, last week.
 The proposed serial note issue for $42O,0Oo for highways, schools and sewers, passed the Senate, yesterday, after being detained in the House for a number of weeks by Representa- tives Wilson and Mc1Iurray, because of a deadlock over the manner in which the referendum should be ap- piled to all Bridgeport bonds.
 The situation had attracted atten- tion in the House and was watched with interest.
 At the beginning of the session the five Bridgeport members. three sena- tors and two representatives, held a caucus. Some of them wanted to is- sue cert taiE bonds without a refer endum, and others with an optional referendum. But Representatives Wilson and McMurray and Senator Whitconrb insisted upon the full ref erendun. An agreement was finally reached that the school and paving bonds should carry an optional refer endunn, becoming valid unless fifteen per cent. of the voters should petition for the submission of the bill.
 It was further agreed that $175, 900 for almshouse bonds, $1,5O6,o0O for the proposed State street bridge and ali other proposed Bonding measures should go to an automatic referen- dunn, and be sut n1itted to the voters as a matter of course at the election in November
 After this agreement took place the so called Bridgeport lobby got busy with the result that the Bridge bonds, calling for the expenditure of Se,000, 900. the amount having heer increas- ed by a proposition to speTd $500, 900 for new bridge at Fairfield and sStratford' avenues, were reported from the committee on cities and boroughs with a clause making Clifford B. Will son by name, the head of the com

EPIDEMIC OF

Neu5tozyr. May 24-ScarIet fever has broken out in town, and to such an extent that general epidemic Is feared. Three schools, North and Middle districts and the ~parochial school have been closed by order of
 Dr. w H Kfernan of the Board of Health and set- far three families quar- antined in, tHe borough by the same authority A general inquiry is be- ing instituted today to find if any con to VII may not. be the dread disease A canvass of all children who at tended the borough public schools is being made today and every effort will be made to stamp out the disease. or at. least prevent its spreading. How successful this campaign will prove until after the canvass is made. It behooveG all parents within the af- fected area to cooperate with the health authorities and report all synnp- toms of sickness in their families at once.
 A very unfortunate circumstance att tending the outbreak is that Mss Anna Keane, the teacher of Middle District caught the infection, and was drought from her boarding place yes terday to her home in Zoar district So far the origin of the disease can not be determined, as in most eases the parents of children who were sick thought it was measles which prevail ed here all winter, and did not call in a doctor at all, or sufficient long 10 determine what the nature Of the dis ease was. There is genuine alarm felt in all circles of our towns but the health doctor is on the job, and spent all of last night in the rain doing all in his power to ge the upper hand oe the disease But the parents should do their parts if success is to be at tained. The other physicians of the town are alive to the necessity. and are co-operating with Dr. Kiernan in the work.

 or the voters before the bonds could | be submitted at an election. This was despite the fact that 4ba testimony before the committee had | disclosed the caucus Of the Bridzepor+ delegation and their vote to demand for the people of Bridgeport an aI1fo- matic referendum
 The chairman Of tfe <ororftfaa ov, cities and boroughs is Rep. Kine of Fairfield, and it was notable that when the argument for these measures wac presented there sat at one end Of the table as counsel for certain petitioners for the State street bridge bonds, FL
 more s. Banks of Fairfield, who enjoys the reputation of being the Reoublf- can boss of Fairfield, and at the other end of the table sat A. Af Marsh best known as counsel for the Bridge port Hydrsulfcs company.
 MT. King defended the action of I7i= committe, by explaining that two Of 1 the Bridgeport Senators had come to him, and had stated that, despite the caucus, they would be ol posed to the referendum that had been agreed upon. One of these two Senate 5 -aftervvard denied that he had mad any such statement
 At any rate. all the bridge bonds re- mained in a state of suspended anima- ton, until few days ago when Rep. King came to Rep. Wilson and agreed to amendments to the bridge bonds bill to accomplish the following pur- poses:
 First, eliminate the name Clifford B. Wilson, so that the head of the bridge commission will be the Mayor of Bridgeport. Second, to add the auto
 natic referendum as agreed upon by the Bridgeport delegation.
 Upon these representations Rep Wilson consented that the street and school bonding bill should be taken from the foot of the calendar and put upon it's passage
 This was done and this bill passed the House on Tuesday and the Senate, yesterday.

AND THE PASTORS
 ARE AT IT AfAlN=-=OR YET

Following is the latest exchange 9o1 courtesies between the Pastors aesocia- ton and Mayor Wilson:
 Bridgeport, Conn. May 16, 1913. The Hon. Clifford B. Wilson,
 Mayors Office, Bridgeport.
 Dear Sir
 The Bridgeport Pastors Association desires to call your attention to the fact that the General Assembly has just revised the Sunday law Of the State.
 While passing a bill in which nearly all concurred, to make, it lawful to hold concerts and engage in amateur recrea ton in the public parks on Sun day, under supervision of the Park Commissioners, the legislature has vot- ed unanimously against other bills and amendments which would tend to com mercialize Sunday.
 This vote was supported by repre- sentatfyes of large cities, including Bridgeport, as well as by the men of the small towns. 7
 The Senate had previously amend ed the bill which the House yesterday rejected altogether, by specifically prohibiting all sports for which adrnis- sion fees were received.
 It is therefore no longer possible to claim that we are living under an archaic law, which is not intended to be enforced, -sor which has not oeen passed on and put in shape to meet modern needs by the representa- tiVes of Connecticut, or of it's cities.
 In view of these new facts. and with regard for a, just obedience to the laws and a protected and free Sunday, this association respectfully urges your re- consideration of your recent ruling that illegal professional ball games should not be prevented in our city on Sunday.
 The Association wishes further to call your attention, and through you thefattention Of the police department, to the fact that an. increasing num- ber of stores on Main stret, East Main street, Stratford avenue and other streets, are being opened for cornmer- ciaI business on Sunday, though such stores are not kept by those who close on Saturdays and are not selling goods required either by necessity or mercy.

Rev. Fred A. Dillingham; Chairman, Law and Order Com, Pastors Aeso.. s5 Cottage Street, City. Dear Dr. Dillingham;
 I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor dated May 16th and handed to me May 2oth, relative to Sunday base ball.
 Since taking office, have endeavor- ed to make Bridgeport a clean, moral city. I think my activities in this di- rectfon are well known to our citizens at large, and shall continue this poll cy so long as I may occupy my pres ent position.
 At the outset of the baseball sea- son, after carefully considering the ing at the Washington Park M. B. church, that T should not interfere with professional baseball playing on Sunday, if conducted in an orderly, clean and decorous manner. My de- sire for a clean city is, I believe, suf- fciently well known to satisfy anyone that if I were convinced that Sunday baseball playing was denoralizing and subversiTe of public or private morals. I would use my utmost endeavors to suppress the same, but I am not of this opinion I do not believe that any baneful results can follow the witnessing of a baseball game on Sun or commercial one, as. you choose to call it, and therefore, I see no reason for changing my attitude in this mat ter
 In reference to the increasing num- Der of stores alleged to be conduct ing business on Sunday, beg to say that will give this matter my care full and immediate attention | Respectfully yours,
 CLIFFORD B. WILSON, :.
 Mayor.
