CLAIMS ORDINANCE
 CAN'T KEEP BICYCLES
 FROM WALKS IN PARKS

A decision which will attract con- siderable attention and may fnva1idate a city ordinance was withheld today in the city court by Judge Thomas C.. CoughIin. The question involved is the use of park sidewalks by bicycles and other similarly propelled vehicles and arose upon the arrest of Abe Ko1- man, on June 16 Prosecution was brought by the state upon the grounds that section 2s7 of the city ordinances which prohibits bicycIe-riding on the walks of public parks, had been vio- lated.
 Attorney William E. Redden, ap- bearing for the prisoner, this morning startled the court when he entered a demurrer to the charges and asserted that the unconstitutionality of the or dinance should be considered. He con- tended that section 2061-2 of the Stat utes of 1902 clearly took control of the parks and permitted the riding of bi- cycles, tricyeles or velocipedes at not more than ten miles per hour, under penalty of $40, and specifically provid- ed that no ordinance should be passed except as provided in the statutes.
 Citations from similar cases in Southport and elsewhere were made
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-06-25

and a rejoinder entered by Assistant Prosecutor Cray, who ably defended the ordinance and alleged the intent of the legislature as expressed in their amendments was not as contended. Decision was reserved to June 2S.

INQUIRE BUYS PROPERTY
 OF THE LATE P. D. LYONS

Patrick J. Mcclure. who. owing to the strenuous opposition made by the heads of the Malleable Iron company. was recently refused a renewal of his license to conduct a. saloon at the cor ner of Gregory street and Iranistan avenue. has closed up his place on this corner for good and has just pur- chased the saloon at the corner of South and Park avenues which for years was conducted by the late P. D. Lyons.
 Mcclure made a fight to retain his license at the corner of Gregory street and Iranistan avenue. When the com naissioners refused the license on the grounds that he was not a competent man to run the saloon he took the matter to the courts and although he was found to be competent to run a saloon, it was ruled that the location was an unsuitable one and so he was refused the renewal Of his license
 It was stated today that the price paid by McGuire for the P. D. Lyons place on the corner of Park and South avenues was about $15.000.

EMPIRE

The wild, weird, wonderful jungle land of South Africa has furnished environment for another powerful pie ture play of the famous Selfg Co. ser ies A story of dire revenge is woven about the love of a brutal overseer who anbitious1y aspires to the hand of a high bred English woman who lives on the plantation, where he wrang1es and terriffes the ignorant black help with his whip. She knows nothing of his infatuation until he fol- lows her into the forest after she has bid her fiancee goodbye, She re- buffs him and a leopard providentiaIly comes to her aid, occupying the at tention of her persecutor. This fight of the human brute with the spotted cat is as thrilling as his escape; but this is not as exciting as the herofne's swim in a wide deep stream with a hungry 1ioness in pursuit The wild animals in the Selig picture plays are not tethered by wires and are as un- hampered as in their native jungle This remarkable picture is shown at this theatre today with no raise in prices.

New York, June 25.-Christian Sci ence circles were deeply stirred by the fact that Mrs. Augusta B. stetson, who was accommodated from the Mother Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston in 1909. announces herself in her new book, entitled .-Rerninis- cences, Sermons and Correspondence g as the true teacher of Christian Sci ence, the spiritual head of the church, as opposed to the directors of the mother church She shows virtually that she regards herself as the per- son to whom Mrs. Eddy intended the real authority of the church should descend-not as the head of the church in the sense that Mrs. Eddy was and is. but in the sense that her interpre- tation of Christian Science should be accepted rather than the views of the mother church directors. Whether her stand will result in a split in the Christian Science church or will sim ply be regarded as the pretentions ot an outsider remains to be seen.
