INTERNATIONAL
 COMPLICATIONS
 IN DEFAULT CASE
Canadian Who Annoyed Seaside Park Residents May
 Go Free Again

Fred Default, the young Canadian who was sent to Lakevdew Home in March, when his annoyances to resi- dents at Seaside park indicated that he had again relapsed into the un- balanced state of mind which formerly caused his deportation and confine- nent in Montreal, is about to be re- leased. Although his case which has been one of many complications to the local, state and federal imrnigra- ton authorities, has not yet been set tied, physicians declare that his con dition has improved to such an ex- tent that he can probably no longer be detained at the Home.
 Unless the United States officials should unsnarI within a few days the tangie which the attempt to resnip him into Canada has caused. it is likely that his freedom will be re- gained.
 The case of DeNau1t is only one of many that has long perplexed charity authorities in the state of Connecticut where it has been deemed that the Holding of such persons is contrary to strict legality. This phase, how ever has been now overcome by re- cent legislation, according to an ex- tract of the law recently received by S1Ipt Fred Johnson from the comp trolIer of the state which reads: Such pauperss can be removed to such place and supported as the Comptroller shall direct and. shall be subject to the or ders of the Com ptrol1er and the Comp trolIer is authorized to sdetain any such pauper during the time of his making an investigation of the case . etc.
 Default, previously arrested for an moving a prominent family Tn the Park section with his attentions, was sent to Montreal where he was con- fined. in an insane pavilion. He was discharged as cured and again came to Bridgeport where in March he re- newed his solicitations and was appre- bended as it was feared. he might endanger the lives of those he annoy ed
 It was the intention to again remove him to Canada. as an insane person, but the Canadian governmenut Is be- lieved to have objected. The Federal authorities were appealed to and the case is still one of international con sideration.

INTRICATE PIECE
 OF RAILROAD WORK

The Jobson, Clifford Go, the electri- cal construction and\ contracting con cern which has charge of the electrif1- cation of the New Haven road be- tween Stamford and New Haven, com menced yesterday on what will prove. perhaps, the most difficult and most intricate piece of work far under taken. Concrete bases and steel piers have been erected at regular intervals along both sides of the tracks all the way between Stamford and New Haven, except in the short stretch on the viaduct between South avenue and just beyond the railroad draw bridge. Steel arches are put up be- tween these piers over the tracks and wires have been strung over a large part of the 40 miles between Stahn- ford and New Haven
 It bas been found necessary to erect

steel towers over 200 feet high at each approach to the railroad draw-bridge to carry the overhead wires when the draw is raised to permit vessels to go through Piles over forty feet long are being driven into the mud of the harbor alongside the draw-bridge to form the bases for four concrete piers on which will be erected steel arches of very heavy construction to meet this difficulty. On account of the delicate interlocking track sys- tems in this short stretch the con structiorl work will proceed slowly and is considered the master piece of prac- tically the entire identification So far. Railroad men are watching it with more than ordinary interest.

In connecrIon with the opening of the summer season of drama plays at FAoxss Lyric. beginning with the in- auguraI performance, Monday evening. of at least six weeks, the manage rnent yesterday made an1iouncement of the personnel of the company and a reading of said personnel will come in the way of a pleasing surprise to thousands of tEeatregoers of Bridge port, especially those who prefer the legitimate form of entertainment
 It is not news of course to announce that Eleanor Cleveland, the immense 1y popular little star, will head the company for this fact has been gem orally known since Miss Cleveland re- turned to Bridgeport in vaudeville under the management of William Fox.
 A fifteen months stay in this city. while appearing at the Lyric places Miss Clieveland in the home folks class and her reception at her open ing performance in vaudeville will not alone stand as a record for continued applause, but as a standard for warm heartedness and friendship such as no other dramatic star has ever been ac- corded.
 Robert Conness, foremost. among leading stock players in America, 9 tatement which will be verified by leading dramatic producers, will be co- star with Miss Cleveland and here again wonderful popularity is coupled with rare dramatic ability and all around good fellowship. On MT. Con ness prior appearance at the Lyric he proved an immense favorite and he returns to the company after a most successful season in Portland, Oregon, where he was co-stars with Alice E1en1- ing, beloved of Bridg geport people. C. Wilson Hummel, yet another To- cal favortte. will have general charge of staging the various productions and none will gainsay that mention ot this comes as other than pleasing news. Added pleasure will come from the fact that MT. Hummel will give some of the very clever character portrayafs in the various plays in the manner which has earned for him the distinction of being one of the fore most character actors of America as well as one of the most successful stage directors

Claiming that It was to make public

Miller, county superintendent. Satur-
day sent out 500 circulars headed "A
Few Facts and Figures Concerning
Educational Matters in Marshall coun-
ty." to the more than 500 teachers and
over 200 school officers Of the county
and some others.
The circular is a comparison Of the

school, and Miss Miller's. Also 1t in
clrdes list OF county officers and their
salaries and the salaries Of their dep
uties. Miss Miller was not able 10 get
the deputy she asked for.
Argues For Deputy.
A little more than a week ago the
school district presidents. allowed $50
a year for a deputy county superin-
tendent. Miss Miller finds cause for
complaint in that she was not asked
presidents and state her reasons and
needs for a deputy. SIZE has done so
in the circular she has issued at the
county's expense.
1t says that it is necessary for her
TO visit the schools, and that without
a deputy her office must be closed
while she is making these school visits.
She urges that deputy is most badly
needed while appending the e1plana-
ton that there has been no desire on
the part Of the superint endent to quar-
rel with the people who are interested
in school affaids, but just a sincere pur-
pose TO increase the efficiency OF the
work"
County Will Pay. She Says.
The circular adds near the close
chat under protest" 90 cents an hour
has been allowed for help il the SUPER
intendent's office" While extra help
Is employed for % cents an hour in
most Of the other offices.
Miss Miller was asked If the circu-
lars were sent gu, az the county's ex-
pense.
Certainly, why norc", was the an
swer They are for the good OF the
schools
When il was suggested that perhaps
the supervisors might look on the cir
culars as an effort to forward per-
sonal desire of the superintendent and
not strictly school matter, Miss
Miller replied:
They will pay the bills. have the
authority TO issue such circulars on
school matters and shall do so quite
often. The people Of this county don't
know anything about the schools. They
ought to know the facts"
However, much the supervisors may
object to paying the printing bill for
the circulars, the county has already
paid about IS for postage.

FAVOR PUBLIC LAVAToRlEs.

Council Member investigating Public
Convenience For City's Center.
There is a chance that the city is to
have public lavatories near the center
of the business district and probably in
the court house itself Members of the
council are interested in the project.
and particularly Councilman w. e.
Nicholson, who believes the need for
such public conveniences is pressing.
Members Of the council have been in
vestigating the subject TO some extent,
and it is possible that definite steps
will be taken TO provide this want
The question Of just what sort Of
lavatories to build and where 10 locate
them is the most difficult question TO
solve. A solution of this question might
be easily reached if the council and
board of supervisors would cooperate
and place the lavatores in the court
house basement. They could be in
stalled there and cared for at less ex-
pense than If built outside.
Room available for such lavatories is
to be had In the northeast corner of
the court house basement. which rs
now vacant This room was formerly
the old council chamber 1t could ne
partitioned and made into two lava
tories. one for women and children and
the other for men. One outside en-
trance already opens thru the basement
wall on the north side Of this room
Another could be opened thru the east
wall and thru this entrance admission
would be convenient, and not so public
for women.
The women's toilet could be so ar
ranged that the matron OF the county
rest room. near which it would De locat-
ed, could have supervision of it. The
council would probably be able to ar
range with the supervisors for the
county to furnish the room and pay
for the janitor service. while the city
could install the fixtures Sewer con-
nec.inn could be easily and cheaply
reached thru the toilet that already is
located just off this room.
When E 2. Mack was in the city's
employ. he had plan for a public
lavatory to be built just south Of the
court house. He proposed a stone
building of IN architectural design to
