THE ALLIANCE FRANCHISE

The sixth season of the Alliance Franchise in Bridgeport will open with an illustrated lecture by the official lecturer, M. Vitry at the Hotel Strat- field, Friday evening, November IA.
 M Vitry is president of a society of promising young artists in Paris and is also author of a, number Of success fuI books and numerous magazine ar ticIes on art,
 The advantages offered by the Ali ance Francaise of Bridgeport to those interetsed in things French are prac- ticaIIy. those of universal extension. For those interested merely for pleas. ure, the Alliance offers entertaining lectures without views, opportunities to hear French music French. poems and readings, and to see and take part i'1 French plays. For those who speak French well it gives many occasions for practice with native speakers, for perfecting accent and idion1. For those who are learning the language either at home or in school it gives the same benefit that concerts and operas do to the music student: it in no way com petes with or. duplicates the study but SIIDI1IernentS it

Do Not Forget The Bridge Bonds
IN
 STOCK MARKET

New York, Nov. 1-Opening- The gradual contraction in stock exchange business during the last fortnight led up to a, condition of stagnation when the market opened, today. With a holiday in London, today, and one at home on Tuesday, traders gave up hope of active speculation before the middle of next week and many of them remained away from the street today. In the first 10 minutes of trad ing, less than 1000 shares were dealt in. Changes were inconsequential but slight declines in Steel, Amalagamated and a few other active stocks. gave the market an easy tone. Canadian Pacific fell point. Mexican Petro- 1eum, which broke z points, yester- day, was again Weak at the opening, today. It declined three points to 64, a new low record. Later it rebound ed to 5S.
 CIose-The market closed steady. Operations in stocks, today, threw lit tie light on the immediate course of prices. Business was of an unusually restricted character, even for a Satur day session and many of the ordi- narily. active speculative stocks were not traded in. The tone of the market was wavering for time but conf dence in the long side soon asserted itself and the list more than regained the small initial declines Speculative conditions were unsettled and bonds weak.

WHAT THE POST SAYS
 TT NOW 'sBELIENES."
 WHAT IT DID BELIEVE

%sThis leaves us the Republican and Democratic parties to choose from and this year, now, based solely on platform promises, we believe the progress and pros perity of the city will be enhanced more by a Republican adm1inis- trafion, than by a Democratic ad- mfnistratiOn."
 From the Post of Oct. 31, 1918.
 Here is what the Post said on July 15, 1918:
 tThere is no greater objection to appointing a political worker or a man useful to the political managers, providing he is in eve cry way fit to be policeman and as good as other candidates who do not possess the required poi- tical pull. But when men under sized and over-aged are selected for positions which are practical 1y life jobs and subject to pen- Sions, - the people cannot be blamed if they insist on the very best fitted men oI5tainable.
 'sThe appointment of the forty men was political scandal and the party in power must be held responsible.7

Washington, Nov. Law students at Georgetown University were talk ing, today, of dramatic scene in a. classroom, last night, in which Dr. Holmes Conrad, professor of law, and Caleb Powers, the Kentucky Congress- man, were the actors.
 In a lecture to a post graduate class, pr. Conrad was denouncing pub lie sympathy for criminals and de- clared that some, through a mistaken public sentiment were carried to places of power when released from prison.
 stWho was that man in Kentucky who killed another and was sent to Congress?'' asked the professor of the class to illustrate his point. During the hush that immediately fell over the room, Caleb Powers, a student, sitting in the front TOW, rose to his feet with perfect composure and in a clear voice said. T am that man, doctor; was not guilty
 Dr. Conrad apologfzed, continued his lecture and afterward made formal apology to Powers, saying he had not known the congressman was a member of his class. Powers spent eight years, three months and three days in Kentucky prisons fighting for his life. He was charged with com p1icity in the murder of Governor Goe- bel.

Wom an In Nightrobe OVerhauIs PrOWIer,
 Gives Him To Cops

Barefooted and with only her night dress protecting her from the wintry blasts, shortly after 8 o'clock this
 morning, Mrs. Beatrice Dininick pur- sued Andrew Smith down Lafayette rnents until her calls for aid attract ed the attention of Policemen CalIan and Green. Upon her complaint they placed him under arrest for investi- gation, her charge being that he had stolen $40 in bills from Diminick's s trouser pockets while he slept. In city court his case was continued un- til Monday for further Investigation.
 It was shortly before o'clock, she says, when she heard strange noise down stairs, thought Immediately of burglars and started an investigation. Smith, according to ner explanation. had been at the house, but she knew of no reason why he should be in the hallway at that hour dressed for the street and with a dress sqft case in his hands. Before she could detain him. he hade opened the door and made his exit into the frosty night. She knew of the money in her husbands pos if it was safe. It was missing and took no chances in hving him escape but rushed out of the door clad las she was.
 Down the street they went, Smith a little ways in advance and Mrs. Dim mick pursuing. Like a HalIow, cen ghost she appeared as she slipped along the street. The attention of the policemen was attracted and the rest was easy.

Max Cohen Denies
 Rumors of Disloyalty
 To Democratic Ticket

The following statement was au by Max Cohen, resident c he Seventh district, now attached t he office of Secretary of State A1be1 T. Phillips:
 stPersona1 friends have called to my attention certain rumors which have been circulated in Bridgeport while I have been at tending to my duties at the Cap itol, in Hartford, to the effect that I am urging my friends not to vote the Democratic ticket in the municipal election to be held next Tuesday. I desire to publicly state that I am not responsible for these runaors which must have been circulated by persons with some malicious intent to do me injury.
 "I take this opportunity to deny that there is any truth in such rumors. I have been close ly identified with the Democratic ,. party in Bridgeport for many ventfons as a delegate. I have served upon it's important com mittees. I have held public of fee and am now an office holder under the Democratic adninis- tration of the state of Connecti- cut. During all this time my Democracy has never been ques- ! toned.
 Because I have always conscien- tiousIy worked for the benefit of the Democratic party, I consider myself as strict a party man as any one within the ranks of the party, and I defy anyone to cite one instance where I have ever failed to stand by the party. That has been my position in the past and it will continue to be my position in the future"
