he was able to gather about him in the East side to the activity of Bodine.
 MT. Bodine was not to be found at any of the places usual for the super intendent of streets to be today.
 A reporter of this newspaper visited every section of the city today where it was thought he might be located but without avail. This gave rise to the report that he may already have quit the job.
 When City Engineer Terry assumed his present position it is said that he he was made responsible for the con dition of the city streets and also for the department of public works. Lately there has been much criticism concern ing the condition of local thorough fares and many insisted that the streets are filthy and neglected.
 Friends of MT. Bodine assert that he was unable to do good work on the streets because he was not allowed to choose his assistants for his work men but was obliged to find employ ment for those who were sent to him by men higher up.''

Unceasing complaints as to the non collection of garbage flowing into the local offices of the Board of. Health. some citizens stating that garbage has not been collected in certain in stances inside g. period of ten days. have disclosed facts relating to the orr iginal garbage contract and it's en- forcernent by the authorities which are interesting in the extreme.
 That the contract itself has been fla grantly violated and that in a meas ure the officials are powerless to en- force it's terms without strenuous ac- tion upon the part of the Health Board seems certain from inquiries today raaie. by a Farmer reporter.
 Whether the contract is a,brogated and prompt steps should be taken by the board to effect satisfactory col lection of refuse and offaI which if left about houses, may tend towards contagion is question for court in depreciation.
 The facts as ascertained today show that for the past week. garbage has not been collected in accordance with the agreement entered into between the Board of Health and Messrs. King and Reilly on November 8. 19o7,- COW ering a period of ten years. and term mating November ', 1915.

 Judge Tierney sentenced BoI1es to 30 days in jail on two counts, and fined him $201 on three other counts.
 The evidence showed that Bolles ad- dressed Captain Talbot in this langu- age:
 You are no good, and I can lick you. I can lick any six Talbots. I've got sixty thousand dollars and you haven't cent. If you'll take that uniform off and come outside I'll break you in two.''
 Upon being questioned by the Judge, Captain Talbot testified to other things which MT. Bolles said to him, but this part of the testimony is unprintable.

GreenwichfS Aug. 22-This town is in a ferment. The officers of justice go armed, and some conservative men are looking for a shooting affray, all be- cause certain notorious gamblers have been raided, after years of >in1p unity, and their friends have circulated d story that they will shoot up those whom they blame for their troubles.
 The fuss all began with the defeat oT the Walsh machine, and the wrest- ing of the town court from its afore- time control.
 Soon after this several gambling places were raided, and from one of tbem a roulette table and other costly apparatus was taken.

EeH1AASo- AS E1S1AOOE t1IA0 K61e451r1KG lot and business manager for negotia- tions with the Russian government and other European powers for the sale of the Curtiss flying boats and hydro-aerOplaneS.
 Cooper has been associated with Cur ltiss for several years, and of late has been chief pilot at the Curtiss school of aviation at Hammondsport, N Y. He is credited with being one of the most skillful of birdmen, combining intrepidity with caution in such pro- portions that he has made over 4 900 flights, some of them at an altitude of 1000 feet, with never a serious mishap.
 Cooper left Bridgeport about six years ago, and shortly after his de- parture from this city entered the em- ploy of Curtiss. His mechanical in- genuity, coupled with his quick wit and experience in speeding automo- piles, made him an ideal candidate for aerial instruction. It was not long before his stunts won the personal commendation of Curtiss, who admir- ed his ability as an aviator and a busi- vanced as the Curtfss interests grew, and of late he has been both chief pilot and business manager of the Ham mandsport interests of Curtiss.
 Recently Curtiss' hydro-aerop1ane, and his still later device, his flying boat, one of which was exhibited re- gently at Savtn Rock, attracted the at tention of naval officials of many gov ernments. It is for the purpose of i'm structing Russian naval officers in the use of the Curtiss devices that Cooper goes abroad. A trial order for 15 of the aInphibious craft has been placed by the Russian government, and simi- lar orders are pending from the Eng fish, French, Austrian and other for eign governments.
 The duration of Cooper's trip abroad depends altogether on the success of the Curtiss devices. He may be gone many months Though the young bird- man has been away from Bridgeport several years he has made frequent visits home and has retained many of his school day friends who have learn ed of his progress with much gratifica- ton.
