PREPARE LIENS ON PROPERTY ON WHICH
 TAXES ARE UNP AID
Nearly 300 Pieces of Real Estate Involved In L.itiga-
 tion About to Begin
City Unable to Locate Own
 CTS of Property Tn Lexing- ton Ave, Long Unclaimed

Foreclosure proceedings are under way against all property in the city of Bridgeport upon which tax liens were issued in 1908 and s1910. While it was impossible today to secure ac- curate figures upon either the va1ua- ton of the property to be forec1osed or ths full amount of unpaid taxes, it was learned that hundreds of thous- ands of dollars worth of property is involved in all sections of Bridgeport. The 1909 list shws 119 pieces of prop er-ty, while the list of 1910, includ- ing the same property in many in stances as the previous year aggre- gates between 50 and 160. Individual pieces.
 In the list is included the names of Thomas and Frank Sheriden. as joint owners of the piece of property on Lexington avenue between Washing ton and sHarraI avenues, which is marked today only by the ruined eel lar walls, and numbered on the city maps as 1S5 Lexington avenue On the a.ssesso4s books will be found a pencil inscription City of Bridge pcrt'' and behind this marking lies one Of the mysteries that has long perp1exed the authorities, for none to- day knows wher4 either Of the broth CTS can be found.
 Many years ago, Thomas was em- pIoyed as 3. painter about the city, while his brother is said to have DeeeaI d tinsrnith They rented the small frame house that once had housed them. and about the year 1905 Frank removed to the West. He was never heard from and with financial wor- ries and other matters upon his mind Thomas was notified by the city in 1907 that unless the taxes were paid a lien against the property would be issued. Thomas, in an effort to trace the missing brother. left the city in search of him. He waS traced to Brooklyn, N T., on one occasion, but has since not been heard of. None knows his whereabouts and the mys- tery of his brothers disappearance deepened.
 The house, at first occupied, was Ieined., and the tenants got out. An offer was made to purchase the prop ertv. but it could not be decided by tI1e city attorney whether the prop ertvs was owned by the city or by the original owners The question-mark was put upon the records to remain until the present date. while those in inc neighborhood first removed the fence. then the porch, and finally re- moved the entire house. piece by piece for lindIing and other purposes, until now the bare foundation walls are al that remain as sas landmark of the ss<cityss mystery What is now left od the property is to be sold at foreclos- ure for taxes.

LADIES WATCHES


 There was a time when professional h unno orists used to say that fountain pens and ladies watches should be la beIed: Shake We'll Before Us1ngSs' Today however, the feminist Inovs- rnent is strongly apparent in the mech anisn of Ladies watches and they no longer require vigorous physical ex- ercise to set them going. We are showing large range very beautiful sChaIelaire and Hunting Case Watches with the finest Swiss and American movements, which we guarantee to be every whit as reliable as their bullxier brethren. Some are of wafer-thinness with gilt or silver dials. The Hunting Case models have engraved and engine turned cases in a. number of delicate scroll designs. Less expensive are Gun Metal and Sterling Silver Chat elaine watches, which we specially recommend for girls. They are ex- tremely serviceab1e and sttractiveIy finished.

SPECIAL COTTON SALES.
Merchants Urged to Stimulate Pur-
chase Of Cotton Fabrics.

Discussing the movement recently
put into effect by the leading society
women OF Washington, including the
wives OF the Cabinet officials TO In
crease the use OF cotton goods and to
add to the marketing OF cotton as an aid
to the south. Traffic Manager Dunlap
OF the Sunset Central lines said yes
terday that the move was one in the
right direction.
"The women OF this country are
nearly always sound in their argu-
ments as affecting any great ques-
tion. and this one covering the use OF
cotton for clothing. is an excellent one
and one that should appeal with some
force to everybody. The suggestion OF
the Washington women is that the
stores handling wearing apparel
throughout the country should stimu-
late increased consumption Of cotton
goods by putting on special sales OF
cotton fabrics and making a feature
Of this in their everyday operations.
Cotton Is now and always has been
manufactured in such wonderful vari-
ETY. that only the most carping Of wo-
men could fail to find substitute for
some of the more expensive fabrics in
daily use. Cotton goods is not neces-
sarily cheap either in appearance or in
price. Many Of the looms put out real
ly wonderful weaves and Of such tex
ture and beauty that they easily CON-
pete with silk and fine wooiens. yet
with the additional advantage. as
rule. OF being lower in price.
The interests OF the south demand
better price for cotton staples and
one way to accomplish this is by ere
ating a greater and more constant de-
mand for cotton goods OF high grade.
I hope our merchants in Texas will
take the view suggested by the Wash
ington women and hold special sales
Of cotton fabrics, stimulating interest
by variety OF styles and designs

New York, June 9-Reports re-

physicist OF Leyden University, has
demonstrated the maintenance Of a
permanent electric current, without
potential force to drive it, in a coil
OF wire in which the power of elec
trical resistance in the metal hai been
reduced to nil
The reports have created intense
interest among scientists, for the MS
coyery suggests to the electrical
world what the possibilities of per-
petual motion or mechanical friction
reduced to zero would mean in other
fields Prof Onnes is considered the
most likely man to accomplish this
scientific marvel He won the Nobel
prize In the physics last year
The commercial possibilities of the
discovery can not be considered %
yet Prof. Pegram pointed out that /.
would mean the saving of million Of
dollars
