DispeI Rumors That Circus Head quarters Were To Be Re-
 moved To Wisconsin

The runnor that the winter quarters of the Barnum & Bailey circus would be soon removed from Bridgeport to the headquarters of the Ringing Bros at Baraboo, Wis, was dispel1ed this morning when a notice was filed in the town clerks office that the Ringing Bros. intend to exercise their option and etxend the lease for five, years more. An agent of the Ringling Bros. was in Bridgeport several weeks ago and arranged the matter to the sat tsfaction of the heirs of the late P. T. Barnum

Bailey and was for ten years. The Ringing Bros. were given the op- ton of renewing it in five year peri ods, for ten years after the life of the original lease.

 THROUGH WEEK
Union Officials Wait On Boss Barbers
 With Schedule
Shop Owners Will Meet To- night To Talk Over En-
 pIOyes' Proposition

Action towards the shortening of daily working time of barbers in Bridgeport by one hour, and two hours on Saturday has been begun by Local 2SS of the Journeymen Barbers. At the last meeting of the Bridgeport Barbers' Union it was practically un- apim ously agreed that the interests of the trade would not be handicapped by cutting down the time of work, and the following schedule was tentatively adopted:
 Daily, 8 a. m to p. m., except Saturdays, when the closing hour shall be 10 p. m.
 The time of work under present conditions is from a. m. to 8 D. nl., excepting Saturdays when the closing hour is II p. m
 The fact that several of the leading stores have decided upon retaining the D. m. hour of closing for Satur- days, throughout the year, is account able for the fact that the barbers be- s1ieye none will suffer seriously by bringing the closing hour for their shops one hour earlier.
 Officers of the Barbers' Union are ibers throughout the city seeking their Incorporation in the movement, and a, jconference of a number of the leading barbers will be held this evening to Aconsider the advisabi1ity of adopting ithe new schedule prepared by the union
 It Is planned to have the new hours effective on Monday, Oct $.

BULLlSH SHOWING
 IN STOCK MARKET

New York, Sept 25-Openf fnE-A sharp reversal of form was d3spIasad in the strong tone of the stock mar ket during the days early trading Large buying orders were distributed in Union Pacific, Steel and AmaIga- mated at the opening, on the theory that the short interest had been in creased sufficiently by the operations of the last two days to justify a bull ish demonstration. Bear traders found it impossible to buy stock around yesterdays closing levels and their efforts to cover gave added i'm petus to the upturn. Most of the ac- tive shares made substantial gains during the first half hour although the pace s1ackened after the orders of hand at the opening had been ex- ecuted. Gains of l to points were made by Reading, Union Pacific, Ca nadfan Pacific, Interborough Pfd. Amalgamated, Steel and Alaska Gold. Peoples Gas, conspicuous recently because of it's extended rise, reacted a. point
 Noon-Reluctance to increase commit ments on the long side of the mar ket, owing to the uncertainties of the present situation in business and d- nance, both at home and abroad, rem dered abortive efforts to gather a fol- lowing for upward movement by marking up prices briskIy at the out set, today. Advances were forced in some cases purely as result of a technical position but the general movement did not impress the rank and file of traders, who sold freely at the top. Unconf1rmed reports Of a pending government suit were circu- lated to account for the drop in Can, which was under especial heavy press ure. Peoples Gas fell back nearly four points and rumor had it that plans for the merger of the corpora- tiOn with another large lighting com pany had been abandoned. Nuner- ous advances of point or more were converted into fractional losses. Bonds were easy.

 To Attend Drunks.

Surgeons at the emergency hospital tendency of apparently we1l-to-do peo- pie to impose upon the charities de- partment for treatment which should naturally be secured from local physi- clans The last and what appears to be most fragrant csc came to the notice of Night Surgeon Mcdonald when a well dressed woman was brought to the ward last night ap- parent1y suffering from epilepsy in- duced by alcoholism
 After treatment the patient gave the surname F'Umstater'' with a. chris tian name that has since learned to be fictitious. Reference to the direc- tory also disclosed to the surgeon that Hill street. is recorded in the city directory, and both name and ad- dress is believed fictitious.
 It was stated at the charity depart ment today that the emergency ward is maintained by the city for cases needing the most urgent treatment, or for those to whom payments to physicians would be an extreme hard ship. Not only recently has the pub lie begun to call the ambulance for ordinary cases of intoxfcation, Out per sons we'll able to pay for medical att ton have applied for treatment.
 This last case is considered most inconsiderate both from it's medical of a most respectable family was un- warrantedly used to hide the identity of the real applicant. A most care full scrutiny of the names and ad- dresses given by future applicants is likely to result.

SENATORIAL BATHS MUST GO
Caucus Cuts Off One Luxury and
Aims at Another.

Washington, D. C.-Senators who
have been accustomed to splash luxur-
iously in the fine baths in the senate
office building will splash there nc
more. The big baths, by order of the
Democratic caucus of the senate, have
been locked up and the bath attend
ants have had their official heads cut
off. All this in the way of economy,
it was said.
The next move is to be against the
senate barber shop, where senators
are allowed to have their whiskers
trimmed and their hair cut free of
charge. The barber shop may be con-
tinued, but each senator will have to
pay for his own shave or haircut.
Senator Kenyon, Republican, of
Iowa, is one of those who believe that
the free haircuts should be dispensed
with and last session unsuccessfully
attempted to get bill of that kind
passed.
