.UNLIGHTED LAMPS
UAUSE COMPLAINTS
IN MANY QUARTERS

The statement OF Acting Superin-
tendent Charles z. 7J1co1ai, that the
complaints Of citizens regarding the
poor service from street lights are e7r-
aggerated by the newspapers, does not
appear to be borne out by facts Two
citizens were at City Hall today to
complain of the poor service IN the
East End. They said that there IS a.
light on Grant street that has not
been lighted in a week.
Another on Mil H11 aveuue has not
been Lighted in three nights. Lamps on
the east end of Barnum avenue are
not lighted Lights several streets
that lead Off Stratford avenue, includ-
ing Bunneu street, Newheld avenue,
Union avenue and HoIIister avenue
have not been lighted. The residents
on these highways say the police may
not have reported these lights as being
out, but nevertheless they have not
been lit.
Mayor Wilson said this morning that
in reply to a letter he wrote the
American Street Lighting Company OF
Baltimore several days ago complain
ing OF the service, he had received a
letter stating that e. s. NeWbofd.
president Of the company, who is now
in Tampa, Fla, or David NJ. Newbold
would be in Bridgeport next week to
try and straighten out the service

streets to make way for the perma-
nent pavement had been used in this
manner. Today he said he admitted
that loads had been carted away to
private property, but that no NOR
would be used in that manner.
Alderman Umstatter asked at the
meeting of the Council that the ma
teria1 taken from Stratford avenue be
used to improve Deacon street. The
alderman said that in wet weather this
street becomes a veritable quagmtre
and the broken stone and other ma
teriaI taken from Stratford avenue
would greatly improve it.
However, the mayor and Director of
Public Works Courtade have decided
to ignore the request of Alderman Un-
statter and all the filling that comes
from the streets in the East End
which are to be paved will be used for
the extension Of Third street.
It was stated at City Hall this morn
ing that Mr.. McSherry would be called
on to pay for the loads of filling which
were dumped on his property.

The police of many cities have to-
day been asked to search for pretty
Mary Edith Andrews, daughter of
Mrs. MarcelIa Andrews, of 63S Broad
street, formerly employed in the War
ner Brothers factory but who seven
years ago left for New York where
she became a model for Altman &
Company. When last heard of by a
gr1eving mother and sister she had
married a professional singer, James
White1ey, Jr. It is the belief of her
parent in this city that some most un-
fortunate accident overlook her and
that she must now be dead.
When seen at her home on Broad
street, Mrs. Andrews told with tears
how the missing girl had made her
last appearance before going to the
great city. She had been imp1ored to
write home frequently, yet with the
exception of one brief visit when she
returned to tell of her marriage she
has neither been seen nor heard from.
With tears in her eyes as she spoke
today, the aged mother said: '-I know
my daughter must be dead as know
ing her sister loved her as she loves

ChurChmen Want
Baldwin To Head
National Council

Ecclesiastical honors for Governor
Simeon E. Baldwin are contemplated
by many of the leading Congregation
ahsts of this state, in connection with
the forthcoming trienniaI national
council of the CONGREGATIONAL church,
to be he'd IN Kansas City, Mo-, Oc-
tober 22-31. 4
Governor Baldwin has been mention
ed for some time as a, candidate for
the position of moderator of the ma
tiona1 council Of the church, to sue
ceed the Rev. Nehemiah Boynton of
Brooklyn, N. Y, but impetus was
given to the activities of the Connec-
ticut churchmen interested in his can
didacy by the appearance, in a recent
issue of the Congregationalist, a pub
ltcation that speaks with much au-
thority in matters relating to the Con-
gregational church, of a, communica-
ton emphasizing the fitness of Gov
ernor Baldwin for the moderators 8
place.
Local cIergymen are considerably
interested, and though none will say
that he knows that Governor Baldwin
VIII accept, most of them agree that
he is an ideal candidate. One of them
said:
s''Governor BaIdwin's experience as
an executive officer, as well as his
training as alawyer and judge, fits
him admirably for the position of
for Connecticut
Governor Ba1dV1n's name appeals
especially to that element in the ma
tiona1 council that feels the Iaity
should contribute a moderator, in the
forthcoming election. Great responsi-
for at it will be threshed out the pro
posed change of policy
For years there has been a growing
sentiment in CONGREGATIONAL circles
that there should be a more compact
and effective organization possibly a
church government, lodging the power
IN a powerful central body. This con-
temp1ated change will be probably the
strongest issue of the council. The
discussion of broader missionary and
educational enterprises will be anotfa-
er issue closely related to the project
of a. reorganization of church affairs
Bridgeport Congregationalists will
have representation in the council
through delegates from both the Fair
field East and Fairfield West associa-
tions of Congregational churches. The
South and Black Rock Congrega tional
churches are allied with the Fairfield
West, and the other Congregational
churches with the Fairfield East as
sociation-
Prof. David N. Camp, in a letter to
the Congregationa1ist, suggests that It
is the lafty's turn to furnish the Ma
tiOna1 Council with moderator, and
nonainates Delegate Simeon E. Bald
win, of Connecticut, for that office |
''Gov. Baldwin is well known as a dis
tinguished jurist,'' writes Prof. Camp. |
LAS Chief Justice of the Supreme |
Court of Errors of the State he held
the highest judicial office in the State |
with honor and approval He is now, |
as Governor, holding his second term |
in the highest political office in the |
State, to which he has been twice |
elected He is professor of law in |
Yale University, and his knowledge of
ecclesiastical law and policy might be |
of service in the National Council"

DRUG STORE LOSES
BY EPHONY'' GALL
Slick Negro Picks Up $40 In
Easy Money.

The Woman's Drug store, $40 Main
street, it was learned today had been
victimized of about $40 day before yes

said that a patient wanted some art1-
cIes which amounted to 70 cents. The
voice further said that the woman had
a, check for so which was o. K. and
that the change and goods should be
at once sent to the Office. Mrs. Wilma
M. Robertson, the proprietor, thinking
that all was right sent a messenger
with the goods and change.
As he entered the Citizens building
he was met by a negro who asked him
if he was, coming to the doctors and
upon being told he was took the pack
age and change, handing the messen-

which bore the name of a, depositor in
a local bank. 1t was later found to
be an order rather than a check and
