GOODS VALUED
 AT $67,OOO,OOO
 IN WAREHOUSES

New York, Sept. 3o-A practical
 demonstration of one result of the new tariff law will be given almost as soon
 as the bill now in the hands of Con
 gress is signed by President Wilson. Huge quantities of foreign-nnade ner- chandise, already imported, will be
 thrown on the markets in New York
 and at other large center through the country.
 For the last two months importers have been storing goods in bonded warehouses to be held there until
 they may be admitted under the lower
 rates to be provided in the new law. The merchandise has accumulated to
 an extent which has tested the capa-
 city of bonded warehouses every
 where. Figures compiled by the
 Journal of Commerce show that goods in bond in New York alone, on August 31, were valued at $67,301, 900 and since that time the total has increas-
 ed largely.
 While we were in way prepared
 for the hold up of imports" said a warehouse man, today, i've never
 dreamed the goods would accumulate
 as they have. It would be impossible for us to rent any more storage space if this state of fairs last two more l weeks
 Keen competition exists among inn 1 porterss to be first on the market with SOOQS brought uIO6T I10 new 4d-W and arrangements have been made for
 distribution in the shortest possible time after the law is in effect. While 1t was said that in some cases decided changes would be made in wholesale prices, no estimate were obtainable as to the probable effect on retail prices. Statistics of the goods on hand in New York bonded warehouses show that the largest am cunts of money are
 represented in linens, hats, silk dress goods, tobacco. wool, champagne and sugar.

GERMAN PEASANT BALL TO BE HELD
 HERE IN JANUARY
Noted Lecturer And Author To Be Brought Here By Ger

Two events of more than passing were planned at the meeting of the executive committee of the German Alliance last evening. They are the engagement of Conrad Nees, the enli- nent lecturer and author, who will speak here in December, and a Ger man Peasant ball.
 Conrad Nees will be here for one evening under the auspices of the German Alliance. He has an engage ment to speak in Boston in December, and his Bridgeport appearance will be included in his Boston trip. The de- tails of his first public appearance In this city have not yet been arranged but the executive committee of the Alliance has been authorized to pro- ceed with them.
 The German peasant ball will be held probably in the latter part of January. It is planned to make this the most elaborate affair of the sort that the German Alliance has under taken. Details as to the place for the ball and other arrangements are in the hands of the executive committee which will be aided by number of sub committees.
 At the meeting last evening reports from the Bridgeport delegates to the state convention were read. The next German day will be held in Hartford in August, 1915.

Hydraulic Co. Loses
 Suit For Damages
 Against Trolley Co.
Judge Scott Finds No Neqli- gence On Part Of Defen-
 dant-Other Decisions.

The Bridgeport Hydraulic Go. lost its suit against the Connecticut Co. according to a decision handed down today by Judge Howard B. Scott of the Common Pleas court. Suit was brought for $1, ,50O to recover for dam ages to an automobile which was struck by a car at Oak and Grand streets. The machine was driven by Michael Cody, an enploye of the Hydraulic Co. The court found there was no negligence on the Connecticut Co.'S part and he decided for the de- fendant. The collision occurred Sep tember 10, 1910.
 In the action of Miner, Read & Tu1lock of New Haven against Rosa Hermann of Darien, the court finds in favor of the plaintiff to recover $442.73. The action was brought to get pay for goods bought by the de- fendant, who formerly kept a bakery.
 Judge Scott awards John Fitzgerald, 3. local contractor, damages of $70 and costs against James Geremia, also a contractor. It was alleged that Fitz- gerald dug a cellar for which Geremia refused to pay.
 Elizabeth Roth of this city was giv- en damages of $1 and costs and also possession of an automobile. She sued Deputy Sheriff Abrio1a, whom she &C., cused of wrongfully seizing a car be- longing to her.

PROCLAMATION

 PROHIBITION
Gov. Hooper Calls ExtraOrdi- nary Session Of Tennessee
 Legislature.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 3O-Calling a second extraordinary session of the Tennessee legislature to consider pro hibition law enforcement bills, Gov. Hooper, in his proclamation, today, says, '"The question which now con fronts the people is, shall the laws of this state be enforced in the city as well as the country or shall the out lawed saloons corruptly dominate not only the cities but the legislature and the entire state %
 The enforcement bills were killed by a, filibuster in the lower house of the legislature, last week, during the first extraordinary session. The second session Is called for October 13.
 Development of 1. the last few weeks the governors proclamation says, have demonstrated to my mind that an overwh elrning majority of the people, regardless of political affilia- tions, are determined to put an end to the open, fragrant and ddsgraceful nullification of the law in the cities of the state. I therefore, appeal to the people of every county in the state to assemble at the county seats and else where to instruct, encourage and sup port both the governor and the gen. era1 assembly in the restoration of the majesty of the law.

ONCE BARNARD,
 NOW BARONESS
Wife of New Lord de Freyne, U. s. Private In the Philip
 pines, Found In Scotland.

London, Sept. 3o.-Lady de Freyne, wife of the new Baron de Freyne, who is serving as a private in the Eighth United States Infantry in the Philip pines under his own name of Arthur Reginald French, has been found at Rothes, an old world village situated on the Spey, in Scotland.
 Lady de Freyne was formerly An mabel Angus. The young woman, whose husband has just succeeded his father to the title and estates, amount ing to 5000 acres in County Roscom- mon, Ireland, is tall blond beauty. She is the second eldest of the three daughters of a local hotel owner who is now dead and whom she helped to manage the house.
 Lady de F'reyne became a barmaid in a London hotel when she was IS and in this way met Baron de Freyne, who was then Lieut.. Arthur Reginald French of the Royal Fusiliers. They were married by special license on November IA, 1902 at a registry office, record of any such ceremony at Som erset House, where all such events in England are recorded.
 Lady de, F'reyne says she has receiv- ed occasional letters from her hus- band since he left England. His fam fly allowed him $2, 800 a, year, all of which he gave to his wife through an Aberdeen banker, while he got along on his soldiers pay of SIS month. In one letter her husband said he had become a common soldier in order to gain experience in the world.
 The disappearance of Lieut.. Arthur Reginald French in 1905 created a sen sation in England and the next heard Of him was that he had enlisted in the United States army. The young man was more popular than his fath- CT, who died about a month ago. He is the only of the late Baron de F'reyne by the latters first wife. The late Baron was in constant trou- bIe with his tenants, who finally form ed a combine against him, purchased his French Park estate through the congested district boards and then de- fled the Baron. Lord de Freyne then began hundreds of evictions. He al- so brought action against the mem bers of the Irish party for influencing his tenants to refuse to pay him rent. This suit was finally withdrawn, and in 1905 the Baron signed an agreement by which the tenants got what they wanted. This was the. year his son disappeared.
 The title is English, but all the estates are located in Ireland and the greater part are in the County Ros- common.

HOUSE EXPECTED
 TO ACCEPT TARIFF
 REPORT BY NIGHT

Washington, Sept. 3o-The House met, today, with the expectation that it would agree to the conference re- port on the tariff bill before final ad- journment, tonight. Majority Leader Underwood, supported by his Demo- cratic associates of the conference committee, was pri1ned with informa- ton to support the agreements reach ed in conference many of which re- quired that the House accept material changes in tariff rules as originally determined upon by that body.
 It was expected that the day would be given up to debate on the conference agreements with a vote at it's conclusion as to the acceptance Of the conference report. The large Democratic majority in the House makes it certain that the conference would be accepted without change and Democratic leaders expected that the House would endorse the propos- ed compromise cotton futures tax plan and ask for a further conference with the Senate on that feature.

CRIPPLED IN RAILROAD ACCIDENT HE IS GIVEN
 VERDICT FOR S45,OOO

New York, Sept 3o-The third panel of Sheriff Harburger's jury sat yesterday the suit of Joseph M. Jacobs against Frank w. Blair and others as receivers of the Pere Mar quette Railroad Company, and rend- cred a verdict of $45,0O0 in favor of the claimant for injuries which he re- ceived, and which, it was testified yes terday, will shorten his life.
 Jacobs was manufacturer of neck wear prior to October, 1912, when the accident occurred near Grand Rapids. Since the accident Jacobs has suf- fered a stroke of paralysis and doc tors have declared him incurable. He walked into the jury room with much difficulty on two crutches, the upper part of his body supported by a steel frame He testified that he now spends about five days a week in bed and is unable to earn anything. He said his spine had been fractured and that his condition has gradually grown worse until now he is helpless. Dr. AdoIph Waecther, surgeon, who has treated the man, said he was incurable, and added that he must have narcotics to reduce the pain and induce sleep and that his indigestion had been ruined.
 Abram l. Elkus, counsel for Jacobs, exhibited to the jury a steel brace similar to the one worn by the claim ant. He said that the railroad com pany's offer to compromise the case for $10,OoO had been refused.
