 Appeals To Public
 Utilities Commission

A petition has been brought to the public utilities commission by the Mitchell Dairy company for an order requiring the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. to furnish a car for the transportation of milk between Washington and Bridgeport, for similar service between other points on the road. A hearing will be given December 3.
 A. w. Mitchell, manager of the com pany which operates two distributing stations in this city, one at 210 Grove street and the other at 266 State street, said today, when asked about the matter:
 We handle between 4,OOO and 5000 quarts of milk in Bridgeport every day ana we are trying to arrange with the railroad company to ship this milk in baggage car attached to passenger train, instead of on a freight train, IS is the practice at present.
 This milk is now shipped at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and reaches have considerable difficulty unloading it in the freight yard. We have asked to have this milk shipped so that it will reach us by passenger train ser vice about II o'clock in the morning
 -'The milk comes by way of Pitts field over the Berkshire division. We have tried to make such advancement with the railroad company and our request for this service has been re- fused.'

OF BUYING LESSENSSTRENGTH
 IN WALL STREET

New York, Nov. 2s-Opentng-A uneven front was presented by the stock market when trading was re- stunned today, few outside orders hav- ing come in over the holiday and pro- fessional traders continued to hold back Initial price movements show ed a fair degree of strength in the railroad list while the industrials tended toward a lower level
 Noon.-With dealings on the same contracted scale as for some time past, floor traders found 1t difficult to move prices today except in a few isolated places. AnaIgamated was sold spec ulativelly on the halt in the demand after some buying had been occasioned by lowering of prices. The outward movement of gold continued on a, large scale, $3,100, 900 being sent to Canada and $500, 900 to San Francisco.
 The outlook for depletion of surplus reserves on this account and compile tion of arrangements for December disbursements were reflected in the money market. Call money, after open ing at per cent, rose to 8. General movements of stocks were unusually narrow and the market most of the time was at a, stantstill. Bonds were easy.

There may be some hitch in con summating the consolidation of the FIrst-Bridgeport National and the Pequonnock National bank, growing out of a dissatisfaction among some of the stockholders of the Pequonnock bank regarding the exchange of stock between the two organizations.
 It is said that the Pequonnock stockholders are in two groups. One group Is said to have signed a paper agreeing to exchange Pequonnock stock and First-Bridgeport National stock on the basis of share for share, and an estimated market value for the First Bridgeport stock of $215 per share.
 And those who do not wish to ex- change stocks are said to be entitled to the cash price of $215.
 The difficulty which may delay or impede the consolidation grows out of a. projected stock issue by the First Bridgeport into which the Pequonnock stockholders fear they will not be participants.
 A meeting of the stockholders of the F'irst-Bridgeport has been called for Dec. 3, at 1O:30 a. m. for the purpose of taking action upon the issue of 5000 additional shares of stock worth O1 900 at par, 5000 of which are to be

 When he applied for the license MT. Isenberg said that he and his pros pective bride wanted to be married quietly and therefore they came to Bridgeport instead of seeking a license in their own town.

offered to the stockholders of the bank at par and 2,00O shares to be sold by the directors for the purpose of af- fecting the consolidation
 The hitch occurs over the 5000 shares for distribution among the stockholders of the First Bridgeport.
 Some of the PeqUonnook stockhold- CTS feel that this distribution will have the effect of reducing the market value of the shares which are to be exchanged for Pequopnock stock. They are said to feel that they ought to come in on the d1stribution.
 Their idea Is that if a share of the First Bridgeport at par is worth $215 when the total capital stock outstand- ing is $5OO,ooO, it will not be worth more than S17O or $18o when the cap itaI stock Is increased to $1,oo0,o00 making due allowance, of course, for the assets that will bestaken over with the Pequonnock bank.
 Many business men in Bridgeport are looking with some trepidation on the continuing consolidation of bank ing capital. Recent developments in local financial circles have created a feeling that Bridgeport IS to have a money trust, and that credits may be unduly restricted thereby and the 1egi- timate development of business i'm peded.

 ON EXAMINING SPOILS Plan Novel Stunt For Measure Of Integrity
 Of Fellow Citizens.

There was at least one disappointed man on Thanksgiving day, and besides the Bridgeport police department are sore that the decadence of thievery as an art is not yet, to receive public announcement by the press, for under the direction of Lieutenants Hazel and Suckley, Doorrnan James Ha1pin, Sergeant Wheeler and others connect ed with headquarters, most tempt ing turkey was left on the steps of the Fairfield avenue station house from 7:80 until 1:30 as a test to see how much honesty still existed in the city. It was 1:30 before it was noted that some avaricious individual had the temerity to sneak the bird away.
 Whether it was taken to some re- sort where it could be examined or whether some unsuspeoting pilgrim of the street pur1oined it to take home to his wife as the tribute of his labor, is unknown, but the surprise of the thief, when he opened the package and found that only a golfers head tackled to 8. board and the c1aw-1ike feet, plus a. quantity of stones and sawdust rewarded his efforts, may be imagined.

 WESTERN STRIKE

Denver, Nov. 2s-The acceptance by the operators and the rejection by the miners representatives late last night Of a statement submitted by Go. Am mons on which the governor hoped to obtain the resumption of the confer ence upon the Southern Coal Fields strike led to the practical withdrawal of the governor from conciHatory measures and an order by the execu- tive to AdjUtant General Chase to en- force the law in the strike zone.
 Later. Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson issued a statement which, countersigned by Governor An1mons, was presented to the operators and the miners representatives Both prom ised to give it consideration.
 The reason given by the strikers representatives for the rejection of the governors statement was that 1t put aside the question of recognition of the unions.
 Secretary Wilson's statement eug- Eested in lieu of the recognition of the union, a board Of seven a.rbitrators, three to be appointed by each side and the six to select a, seventh. If the six cannot agree, the seventh is to be ap- pointed by President Wilson.

FEDERAL OFFICER SHOT DOWN BEFORE
 EYES OF MOTHER

Mexico City, Mex. Nov 2s.-BIood and family ties did not avail to halt the vengeance Of the consfitutiouaIfsts when federal office hoiiers fell into st1eir hands at the capture of the city of Victoria, capital Of the state of TamaUlipas, a week ago.
 According to reports which have just reached the federal capital, state as well as federAI officers were executed without quarte Among them was a cousin of Enrique Cajballero, one of the ieutenants of Venustiano, Carran- za He was condemned to die because he had helped the federal troops to de- fend the city.
 The young mans mother, who is an aunt of the rebel officer, on her knees begged the life of her son Caba1IerO's reply was to have his cousin brought from the prison and stood in front of a firing squad of revolutionists, who shot him down before his mothers eyes.
 General Antonio Rabago, the federal commander of Victoria, upon evacuat- ing the city with his troops had the expectation of making a connection with the federal column commanded by General Rubio Navarette, who was trying to go to the assistance of the garrison of victoria
 The constitutionalist troops entered Victoria during the afternoon of eo- venber 19 immediately after the fed eral troops had evacuated the city which they had defended stout1y for three days The rebels at once started pina ging, setting fire to houses and murdering the citizens, according to reports received here. A number of Spanish residents were killed, fnc1ud- ing. it is said, the Spanish consul. A further movement of rebel troops from the district of Victoria toward Tampico is reported in messages.
