SENATOR M'NElL JR. ISSUES
 STATEMENT WITH REGARD TO
 HIS STANDING AS A DEMOCRAT

using my best judgment chose to all ly myself with the so-caIIed Organiza- tion- candidate. Since that time, in order to show my good feeling toward the other faction in the party I have on several occasions used what irf1u- ence have with the governor or oth- CT powers that be to aid memb bers- of the so-called Purity faction, in the hope and belief that by so doing I might convince all Democrats Of my impartiality, fairness and loyalty to Democracy. Tn an interview in your paper of Saturday, Frank P. O'Rourke, chairman of the district, is alleged to have made several assertions which desire to quote and reply to:
 MT. ORourke Is alleged to have said: We do not wish to have a Senator who does not belong among and who is not in sympathy with what the Democrats of the Seventh district want
 May I inquire of MT. O'Rourke if he knows exactly what the Democrats of the Seventh district want? May I ask ghin if he has any criticism to of fer of my record as a Democrat for the past ten years? Can he criticize my action and vote on the Important questions and pledges of the Demo cratic platform during my term as Senator? And may I ask him what right he has to speak for the Demo crats of the Seventh district? Permit me respectfully to suggest to my good friend MT. O'Rourke that he first ally himself with a winning faction in the district before he assumes to speak for the Democrats of that district. Unfortunately for him, Frank O'Rourke has always been allied with the faction in the district which has been overwhelmingly defeated in pri- mary contests.
 Frank O'Rourke, Louis SchwerdtIe, Fred Riley and Patrick J. Carroll can't drive me out of the Democratic party or out of the Seventh district If they really want to know what the real Democrats of the Seventh district think of them, let them be with me on primary night when the ballots are counted Then and there they can obtain first hand evidences that they have sustained the worst trimming any factional ticket has re- ceived in this district in a primary battle.

Lewis, rector of St Johns Episcopal church. who died in Halifax, N. s., Saturday, will be held Thursday af- ternoon at 1 o'clock from St. Johnts church The body will arrive in Bridgeport on the Bar Harbor express tomorrow morning. Pending the ar rival of Mrs Lewis. who was with her husband when death claimed him, com plete arrangements for the funeral have not been made.
 George B. Lewis, a son of the de- ceased clergyman. left Bridgeport for Halifax as soon as he received word of his fathers death and will accom- pany his mother home.
 Although definite arrangements have not been made, it is thought that the Rt- Rev. Chauncey D. Brewster, of Hartford, Episcopal bishop of the dfo- cese of Connecticut, will conduct the funeral service. He will be assisted byS several local Episcopal rectors and it Is expected that many Episcopal clergymen will attend the service It is likely that the body will lie in state in St Johns church on Thursday pre- ceding the funeral service.

he was thrown and struck heavily on his head on the wood k4pavement-
 Henry Tyler, a passengerIon on the car and the conductor picked Kertisz up and carried him to the grass plot near the curb. The unfortunate man was unconscious. Passersby attempted to revive him while the conductor ran to telephone for the ambulance
 Kertisz was taken to St. Ninceut's hospital. It was ascertained that he had a fracture of the skull and fn- ternaI injuries. He reEained con seriousness but twice for brief periods during the time he was at the hos pitaI.
 In the meantime the welcome honI8 supper remained untasted in the fiat on Spruce street where Kertisz liveds while the daughters waited anzfously for the return of their father. It was after midnight before the girls told a neighbor their father had not come home and they were worried about him. By inquiry of a policeman tho. neighbor learned that a man had beenl picked up, after falling from a car inI State street but it was not until the following morning that they made certain of his identity. The girls re- mained up all night waiting in vain for the return of their father
 The funeral was held this morning from St. Stephens church.

That is to say, the cofnmission fs czall-s ed upon to take from the shippers oe the country all the benefit that they receive from the parcel post and give 1t to the express companies in the form of higher rates upon the remain ing business
 The new system of rates is not onIv, simpltfication of existing rate struc- lures and methods but, in the opinion of rate experts, lays the foundation for future practice in all rate .rsvis- ions.
 While the commission has mot cons sidered the practicabi1ity of the ap-a pltcation of the block system to the making of freight rates, it is known. that the question may be taken up aI- most at any time. With a standard freight rate once established between blocks instead of between points ana all other rates stated in percentages of the standard, the mystery of the present complicated maze of freighE rates, in the opinion of the counuisf sion's experts. would be solved.
 The basis of the classification pre- scribed by the commission is that an articles of merchandise of ordinary value are to be caTried at first clasE or ordinary merchandise rates. Artf- cles of food and drink, with a few ex- captions, are second class and arc to be carried at 8 s per cent. of the ,frat
 
 The ratea for newspapers and per fodca1s as well as for bread and such articles, for which special rates are now charged, are substantially the same as the present rates.
 With regard to the parcel post and its effect upon the express companies. the report says:
 with regard to the small package business of the. parcel post 1t should be noted that it will still be carried upon the railroads of the country. So far as the rail carriers are concerneds it Is of no consequence to them Wheth- CT they. furnish rail transportation for the express correspondents. The ex< press companies moreover will not eE- perience a gross loss of their earnIngs the net difference between their earn fngs heretofore and the cost to them of furnishing the terminals.
 ''The commissions order is for two years only. That period will give abundant opportunity for a test of these rates under varying conditions amounting to a nor5naF areraee- In no other way can An absofutely proper rate basis for respondents be finally determined. Respondents. are are also at liberty at any time to bring forward new facts as a basis for @ petition -m regard to this or any other order"
 The decision of the commission, de- ferred as it has been for more than a. year, followed an investigation and in- quiries that lasted a considerable time

FEW MOURNERS AT
 BIAFORE FUNERAL

Joseph Morano, the murderer of GJicholas Biafore is still at large, no trace of his whereabouts evidently having been found by the local OF state police The funeral of Nicholas lBiafoFe was held this morning from lfhe funeral parlors of. Louis Richards, scIm street. at s:3O and from the Church of the Holy Rosary at 9:0O O'cf0ck- Rev Fr. A. DeToro solemn 4zed high mass.
 The funeral was carried out in Such O pathetic manner as to cause general comment among both the police as well as the friends of the dead man. For some reason refusal to take the body of the murdered man into his home was entered by the family. It lay in the undertaking parIors from Saturday afternoon until the hour of burial today with no member of tn g family present except for a few min utes on Saturday night. Besides the widow, family and Mrs. A. CardeIla, . relative there were few attendants ht the church or grave
 It was the belief that Biafore was go well liked among his countryrnen fhat large attendance would be rec orded, but upon this subject none would speak today. Members of the EaI9brese Society, of which the de- Eazsed was a member merely shrug- Eed their shoulders when asked the reason of all remaining absent stating that the burial should have been from the home The family, when asked why such had not been the case mere 1v indicated that superstition might have attached to the house from which he was buried
 Sudden change from the original plan of conveying the body to Phila- delpFlaa was made today, and arrange ments for interment in St. sMichaeFs were barely finished when the hearse and five carriages following reached &zaa l@smE@

Conflicting Testimony In Murder Inquiry
 Before the Coroner

Added interest as well comp1exity was revived in the Frank Ghuiro nur- der this morning when witnesses again appeared at the inquest being held before Coroner John J. PheIan and conf1ictingly testified as to the ac- tfons of the dead man and his broth CT before the shooting on Sunday, July 20.
 Whether the murderer a1dne nan upstairs to get his revolver or wheth- CT he was accompanied by the accus- ed is the question which witnesses fail to agree upon. There are in addi- ton many more minor points which do not correspond In the testimony given to date.
 A further hearing is scheduled for tomorrow when it is promised to have both the mother and sister of the dead man appear in an attempt to clearly show just what did happen.
 Captain of Detectives George Arnold was called into consultation with Cor oner Phelan today and is understood to have given much information that may be of value to the state He further testified as to statements made in his presence by the dead man and others whom he examined on the day of the shooting.

NOT A DRUNK IN WASHINGTON
 POLICE COURT

Washington, Aug. 4.-The national capital wakened, today, to find that during the thirty-one hours from mid night Saturday to o'clock this morn ing, it had been a "jagless town" Not one arrest for drunkenness had been made by the police in that time and the police court docket was lonesome sight The new and rigid excise law passed by Congress was responsible for the wave of Sunday sobriety.
 Where are the prisoners?" demand ed Jolice Judge Pugh, when he as cended the bench today and cast his eye around for the. usual Monday morning array of b1eary-eyed mortals There ain't none, yer Honor said the 'bailif, almost sadly. We aim got not so much as a plain drunk"
 The record, so far al the police have been able to ascertain, is unparalleled in the annals of the department.

 Joyous Occasion

Following injuries which he receiv- ed in a fall from a street car at State street and Hancock avenue last Tues day night, Louis Kerttsz, aged 67, died at St. Vincent's hospital Saturday night. The circumstances of the mans death were particularly pathe- tic He was an empIoye of the Amer ican Tube and Stamping Co. living with one daughter at 197 Spruce street.
 Another daughter, Rosie, aged 19, had been on visit with her mother and four other children in Hungary. and telegraphed her father that she would be in Bridgeport that evening. The old man hurried home @rom work and put on his Sunday best in antici- patton of going to the railroad station +o meet his daughter. In the mean time the other daughter prepared a little supper with delicacies of which her sister was fond, by way of a vel come home.
 The daughter arrived on an earlier train than the one her father went to meet. In fact the trolley car which carried him down down must have passed the one on which she rode to the West End. Failing to find her at the station the old man took a car for the West End about 9:3O.
 Passengers on the car say that the rnotorman seemed to have difficulty in stopping all the way out State street and that when the ear had apparently came to a. full stop it would go ahead a few feet again.
 This is said to have happened at Hancock avenue when Kertisz at tempted to alight and in consequence

Senator Archibald 1fcNefl, IT,. today made the following statement with reference to the request of Democratic District Chairman Frank c. ORourke and other electors of the Seventh vot- from. the Democratic primary list in that district on the ground that he is not a bona f1de resident of that dis frict:
 q was never more surprised in my life than when learned of the un- derhanded attempt to in5ure me with the Democrats of my Senatorial dis trict, as well as throughout, the city, by attempting to deprive me of the right of suffrage in the district where was born, and where I have voted consecutiveIy for the past five years and lived the greater portion Of my life It hardly seems possible to me that any men would permit themselves to be used as political tools for so underhanded, unfair and uncaned for a purpose.
 .iso far as the justice and merit of their contention is concerned. am willing to leave that to the good Juog- ment of the registrars of voters who know and have known my residence in the district, without advisennent from others also prefer to look charttably upon the action of those men who allowed themselves to be so used. realize that they are not Altogether to blame in the matter but were actuated by other motives ana OV other minds.
 During my ten years participation in Democratic politics I have attempt ed to refrain from mixing in primary contests, believing that snoulo serve such humble influence as I mlgnt possess for the good of the party as a whole and for the success Of the en- fire Democra.tic ticket on election day Although I have voted in the Sew enth district for five consecutive years I have yet to cast a vote in primary battle in this district but would !n- deed be weak kneed now if refrain ed further from participa tion in the coming primary battle, and desire to inform my Democratic friends Tn the Seventh district that l will De allied with the so-caIIed Organiza tion forces in the coming contest in the district
