SLEEPING INMATES OF CHRISTIAN UNION
 IMPERILED IN FIRE
VigiIant Night Watchman Dis covers Smoke Issuing From Top Windows
 Nh Early Morning.
Nine Men Lose Every Stitch of Clothing = Fhirty-Eight
 Escape From Building.

The watchfuIness and prompt action of Frank Hubbe1 saved the lives Of 3S men who were sleeping in the dormi- tory of the Bridgeport Christian Union when fire broke out there early this morning HubbeIl, who is a private Swatchman employed to guird business places in the lower section of the city from fire and burglary, was passing the Union building in Bank street when he noticed smoke issuing from the top windows. Pausing long enough to make certain that the building was really on fire, he arous- led Otto Belk, the janitor, and told him to awaken all inmates of the building.
 Next he ran to the office of L. B. Sil1inan in Water street, and tele- phoned the alarm to fire headquarters. The fire fighters were quickly on the scene and the 38 men were gotten out of the building safely although nine of them lost every article Of EcIothing they possessed.
 + Rev. Charles w. Simpson today praised Hubben's prompt action. MT. Simpson said it was his belief that had not HubbelI discovered the fire when he did and so promptly turned in the alarm, there would have been a repetition in Bridgeport of the lodg- ing house fire horror which recently occurred in Boston.
 After Hubbel had reported the fire to Janitor BeIk, the latter aroused John M. Larkin, assistant superinten- dent of the mission. Together they went to the top floor where they dis covered the fire had broken out in the fumigator and had already burn ed through to the ceiling above.
 Come boys, it's time to get up," called both Belk and Larkin, and as fast as the men were aroused, they were told of the fire and ordered to r1IIiCI<1U ont.
 All the clothing of nine of the men was in the fumigator. These men, wrapped themselves in blankets and ran into the street. Their clothing The flames were extinguished in about ten minutes after the firemen got on the scene, water and chemicals being used. The damage is estimated at s20O.
 Speaking of the fire today MT. Simp- son said:
 This fire ought to show the peo- pie of Bridgeport the need for an adequate building to carry on the work which is being done by the Bridgeport Christian Union. Fine fac tories are built in which to make cor sets, hardware, machinery, etc, but we have no decent factory in which to remake men.
 i've need adequate means to aid men whose feet have slipped, to re- gain another balance. Our work is on-denominational. We welcome all corners, Catholic Protestant, matter what religion or creed, black, white or yellow. We are doing this work the best we can in an old rat tie trap building. Every night lately we have had to turn away from 15 to IS men because we could not provide lodgings for them.
 ''These men are not buns either. They are the best mechanics in the country but they have lost jobs and simply cannot find others at present. We aim to aid them until they can get on their feet again. When they do these men frequently come back and hand us anything from a quar-

TWO DRIVERS HURT WHEN TROLLEY CAR
 HITS COAL WAGON

An east bound trolley car and a coal cart of Ira Gregory & Co. tried to occupy the same space near the cca1 time for a brief instant at 7:3O this morning.. The injured are:
 Thomas Cleary, 36. married, of Mid land and Albright avenues.
 Michael Garvey, 26, unmarried, of the same address.
 Both men were able to leave St. Vincent's hospital after they had been examined for injuries.
 The car was proceeding moderately, for the driveway from which the coal cart issued was once the scene .-of many mishaps, and is now safeguard ed by signs of the Connecticut Co. warning motormen to run with eau ton.
 Garvey and C1eary drove out of the coal yard upon the track just as the car proceeded up the grade, going east, and struck them in the rear They were flung heavily on the brick pavement.
 Passengers streamed from the cars and. many early morning pedestrians gathered around the fallen men await ing the arrival of Dr. Macdonald with the ambulance.
 The men were examined at the St. Vincent's hospital. There it was found that Garvey had escaped with bruises on the left leg, and CIeary had been equally fortunate having superficial wounds, on the left side of the face and scalp.
 They were able to leave the hospital before noon.

Trade Development And Trust Problem Discussed
 By Redfield In Report
Secretary Of Commerce Proposes Special Officials To Help Along American Com
 merce In Foreign Countries

upon the solution of this problem must depend the ultimate attitude of government toward combinations and consultations in business.
 ''Of the old investigations those on lumber, tobacco, water transportation, the harvester industry, and corporate taxation remain to be concluded by the publication of additional reports, but all will probably be closed up within the next 12 months. In ad- dition to these are the new investiga- tions of the fertilizer industry, the re- lationship of the Oklahoma oil fields to the general oil market, and the cotton pool.
 tAn investigation of trade agree ments is also in progress, with a view to establishing some facts as to what agreements, if any, apparently in re- straint of trade, are really in aid of competition and should be exempted from the operation of the Sherman Act There is also an investigation pending with reference to the merits and demerits of a condition which prohibits a uniform price from being fixed manufacturers and jobbers, binding upon retailers, as to articles of their manufacture"
 Reorganization PIans.''
 Secretary RedfeId outlines his plans for a reorganization of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce: "Our foreign commerce has grown by leaps and bounds until during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913, it reached the great total of $4,279,O 9,OOO,- 900 in value. Of this great sum, $2,- 446, 100000 was exports and $1,813,- O0O,0OO was imports, showing trade balance on these transactions in our favor of 653,0O0,000. It certainly can not be said that the Government has done much to foster this great and growing trade. In the estimates for the coming fiscal year, therefore, a sum has been included which will provide for the reorganization of the bureau into such forms as will make developing American industries in every field which is normal to them at home and abroad.
 Commercial Attaches.
 Briefly stated, the proposed organ ization provides for commercial at- taches to be located at each of four teen capitals accredited to our em- bassies there by the Department of State but reporting directly to the purpose will be to study the commerce and industries of the nations where they reside. They will have no oth-5 CT duties. They will colIaborate with the consu1s, having the advantage of the larger view and of the freedom from other cares.
 'tIt is recommended that the con- suls shall, on purely commercial mat ters, report directly to the Depart ment of Commerce and that they shall cooperate with the commercial at taches in presenting between them a complete and unified knowledge of the commerce and industries of our great competitors. These two forces should normally supplement each other-the attache has the general field, the consul the particular field. The one collects; the other co-ordin-

Bay State Romance Culminates
 In Wedding Here.

A romance begun 9 year ago at North Egremont, Mass, had its cul- uaination Saturday in Bridgeport, when MT. Clifford H. Grippin of this. city and Miss Maud c. Tinker of North Egremont were welded. The ceremony was performed at ST6 Howard avenue the Darsonage of the sfotv- Alfred H. tist church The bride came to this city Saturday from her home in North Esremont. She is the daughter of MT and Mrs G. H. Tinker. She met MT. Czrippin when the latter with his pa rents and other members of his lam iIy, removed from Bridgeport to the Massachusetts town MT. Grippin IS the only son of MT. and Mrs Thomas B Grippin, who formerly resided Tn Fairfield avenue and were prominent in Bridgeport society. The family now make their home on q country estate which MT. Grippin recently purchased.
 For the ceremony the bride wore a blue travelling suit with hat to match and carried Killarney roses. She was accompanied by Miss Bessie Gr1pp1n, a sister of the groom. MT Gripp1n was attended by Robert E. Mills Ali fer inc ceremony the wedding party went to the home of Mrs. F. R. Gray, another sister of the groom, where a wedding breakfast was served
 The couple are now on a short we'd ling trip and on their return will make their home temporarily with Mrs Gray who lives in Howard avenue. Mrs. Grippin is a charming brunette who has many friends in Bridgeport. MT Grippir'e friends here are legion At r1resent he is employed at the drug store of John H. Swinnerton, 807 Ma plewood avenue.

THE IDLE FREIGHT CARS.

The growth in the number of idle freight cars, contrasted with the con ditions existing at this time last year when the shortage of the fall months was just beginning to be well relieved, is a commentary upon the sIessened activity of business and the slower movement of products to the market.
 It likewise shows how sensitive the railroads themselves are to reductions in volume of trade and suggests that the showing as to earnings which has been employed by some shippers dur ing the past year or so as an argu- ment against higher rates is not like ly to serve this purpose Iong-New York Journal of Commerce

ates Each supplies with the other that which without him we could not have. Each is at once a corrective and an incentive to the other.
 ''It is intended to enlarge the force of commercial agents which is com posed of special investigators trained in their separate lines of study, each pursuing some special theme and for that purpose travelling from country to country wherever information on that subject can be had. For this purpose a special appropriation of $1OO,OOO is asked for the study of commercial conditions in South America.
 Canal Is Factor.
 Possibly I may have erred in not asking a more adequate provision for this great work. Certainly it is not consistent with our national se1f-res- pect to ask for less. It should be not ed, finally, that now is the appoint ed time. We have spent several hun dred millions preparing the Panama Canal and the nations of the world have been getting ready for its use while we have done almost nothing actively to promote the commerce which should repay the nation, in part at least, for this vast outlay.
 t'It remains to state but one further point of important policy that the Department desires to carry out. It W1SheS 10 supplement- the inquiry now drawing to a close into the cost of production in the pottery industry by undertaking an inquiry into the cost of production of clothing of all kinds and of different materials, including hosiery, knit goods, and their fellows.
 ''It is recalled that not only is this a matter which affects every man and woman in the country but that it is a subject which, has been approached several times but which has never re- ceived thoughtful study as a whole. The late tariff bill inquired into the cost of cotton and woolen and wor- sted cloth and to some extent into the costs of making knit goods and ho- siery. It did not, however, pursue it's inquiries fully into the cost of making all clothing of various kinds.
 Different states and municipalities have given study to the important question of wages and labor in the clothing industries and to the work ing conditions in them. No one to my knowledge has ever correlated the work of the various public and private nizations-nationa1, state and nunicipaI-and has added to them an inquiry into the Fundamental elements of cost in these industries
 Such a study should have impor- tant social results. It should deve1- op the question as to whether the sweatshop is economically efficient or whether by a properly organized and more scientific method of manufac- ture it would not be eliminated by the operation of economic law
 For all the work of his great de- partnent Secretary RedfeId asks Congress to appropriate $1P,8OO,27O, an increase of a little more than $4,- 100000 over the present year.

During the closing rounds of the first
battle. the sky became suddenly over
east and it looked as if a regular thunder
shower was brewing. and in league with
the White Elephants to crush out the
Nationals winning ambitions. Umpires
Evans and Hart kept the Athletics on
the jump. and three innings was played
almost in semi-darkness, but the skies
cleared gradually and by the time the
Nationals had knocked one kid pitcher
out of the box Old Sol. that well known
orb. appeared on the scene.
Taft. a recruit obtained from the
Texas League, was slated to face John
son by crafty Connie Mack. Taft, accord
ing to the Nationals. is IN exponent of
the Salome ball, nothing on it and hid
den by a veil.
During the first inning Tam got away
with it, but in the second came his de-
mise so quickly that the crowd hardly
realized what had happened.

As for the second game, Walter john

Connie Mack lamped the Kansas Big
zard warming up than he ordered MS
Youngsters to get busy.
The Griffmen knocked two firecracker
pitchers off the slab and made life mis-

Walter johnson came through with the
same stunt in the fourth, both circuit
