 The action of the mayor followed his observations during a trip in the downtown district.
 The question whether gown is real Iy, an "X-ray'' or otherwise objection able is to be left to the judgment of the policeman who views it.
 It was made plain to Chief Clark that it made no difference who the woman was who was wearing an ob- jectiona1ble gown

 small in most cases, were increased in the first half hour until a long list of railroads and industr1a5s showed gains of one to nearly two points The volume of. business was not heavy but offerings were scanty and buyers found it difficult to obtain stocks e5c- cept at rising figures.

CATHOLIC PRIEST TELLS FLOCK TO BEWARE
 OF IMMORAL DANCES

In an address to his congregation in St Johns church on Brook street last Sunday, Rev. Father Andrew B. Ko- mara roundly scored the turkey-trot, bunny-hug, grizzly bear and other emotional dances which he had wit messed at the conclusion of a dance earlier in the week. He has placed the ban upon such displays and is mak- ing an individual campaign among his parishfoners in an effort to put stop to the practice which is fast gaining ground in this city
 It may be said that these dances are frequently executed at both public and private functions in this city. and the nearby beaches and that the younger element are prone to indulge in them when res strictions are not put upon their display by floor committees or patroneGses-

CONNECTICUT'S PEACH CROP How t VIII Be Distributed
 This Year
(Issued By Press Bureau of New Ha-
 ven Road.)

(Issued By Press Bureau of New Ha-
 ven Road.)
 Arrangene nents for handling the ship meht of Connecticut's peach crop have been completed by the transportation department of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com pany, and 125 New Haven ventilated cars and 40 New Haven refrigerator cars have been fitted up with shelves for this special rush traffic.
 It is estimated that the peach crop of Connecticut this year will be from 75O,OOO to 8oo,0OO baskets, and the New Haven Railroad will be called up- on to transport about one-half the crop. h order to handle the ship ments as rapidly as possible, special trains on regular schedule have been arranged for, instructions have been issued to agents at loading points to keep in touch with shippers and to place orders for cars for the ol1owing day as early as possible, and chief train dispatcners, yardnasters and agents have received special instruc- tfons for the handling of equipment assigned to the peach service
 Shipments of peach es from points in Connecticut will be made to Prov- dence, Boston, New Bedford, Fall River, Worcester, Springfield, Pitts field, Bridgeport, New York, PhfIadel- phia, Baltimore and points in Penn sylvanfa. and west of the Hudson Riv- CT. To some of these places special trains will run daily during the sea son. and to other points the peach cars will be attached to the regular rush service of the company Two central points have been designated for receiving cars loaded along the line. These are East Hartford and Cedar Hill. From the latter point a special train will be sent out each night to Providence and Boston, and cars consigned to New Bedford, Fall River, Worcester and Bridgeport will be attached to regular service trains. Shipments may also be made to Bos- ton, Worcester, Bridgeport and Provt- dence via. East Hartford
 One of the features of this peach service is the shelving of the equip ment assigned to transport the crop. As the peaches are shipped in baskets it is impossible to pack them in the cars one basket on top of another. It has been found expedient, therefore, to erect temporary shelves in the cars thereby increasing their capacity about three hundred per cent.
 Connecticut is the leading peach growing state of New England The crop is valued at over $500 ,000, and although there are several other states that raise larger peach crops than Connecticut, such as Georgia and New York. yet on an acreage basis she is one of the leading peach grow ing states on the country.

in Jersey City at a special election
held for the purpose OF adopting or
rejecting the so-called Walsh act
which was put through the New Jer-
sey legislature in 1911. largely by the
influence Of President Wilson, when
he was governor The vote for adop-

or majority OF 4,S06 in favor Of
the act.

AT elections in Hoboken and Bay

the largest city in the East to try
