SOUGHT SUICIDE
 WHEN REFUSED KISS,
 NOW WANTS TO LIVE

Steve orcas of 176 TTalIam street, the husband of two weeks who shot himself in the mouth Saturday night because his bride refused him kiss. is holding his own today at Bridgeport hospital but little hope is held out for his recovery. His wife remains con- stantly at his bedside and he now wants to live as much as he wanted to die following the quarrel.
 Indications are that his attempt at suicide resulted from quarrel cal1s- ed by his wife's not awakening him in time to go to work at night in the Salts Textile plant. The first attempt resulted in the revolver missing fire. Mrs. Orcas rushed to his side but was not quick enough to prevent his sec 0nd shot

MAY CALL CAUCUS FOR SUCCESSOR
 TO AID. MILLER

Because Republicans of the Fifth district cannot agree on who is to succeed Alderman Paul I. Miller and finish his term in the common coun- cil. Frank E. Ballard. the district chairman will probably call caucus to name Alderman Miller's success sor. Before election members of the Fifth district club had decided that in the event of Alderman Mi1- lers election as judge of probate. Ed ward J. Naylor, president of their club. should succeed him in the com mon council After election friends of Robert N Blakeslee, former treas urere of the Post Publishing Co. started a boom for him.
 MT. Naylor, it appears. was not par ticuIarly anxious for the place, and friends of MT. Blakeslee saw MT. Naylor and induced him to withdraw. But members of the Fifth District club were not willing to accept this situation They immediately raised a howl, claiming that the real workers in the district are all members of the club and they should have some Say as to who represents them on the board Of aldermen The situation has caused so much talk the leading Re- pubaicans of the district have ad- vised Chairman Ballard that the best way to settle the matter is to hold a caucus and allow the man named at this caucus to take the office.
 The matter will be one of the topics which the Republican town committee will consider at it's meeting at Re publican headquarters tomorrow night. While it is a district matter. members of the town committee feel that a situation is developing in the district which may cause trouble by the time another election rolls around and they want to be certain that some amicable settlement is made.

MORALITY OF CITY IS UP
 TO OFFICIALS, DECLARES
 THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

, tfon. We know moreover, that the camera never misrepresents. If the sensitive lens pictures thing, If must be there.
 As to the nine questions which MT. Gordon asks. the answers are evident
 The merest tyro knows all about such things They evoke no knowledge but
 simply serve to emphasize a point. Such conditions as Mir. Gordon has shown to exist in our city, SOW the seeds of dIsease They produce dis ease promote diseased conditions, puny bodies. low vitality and death. They destroy the saving sense of decency and encourage immortality and vice. while the dark narrow alleys are hid ing places for the tough, the gangster
 and the thug Family life, the sweet est, the happiest of all things earthly is broken down and destroyed. Per sonaL habits of decency safeguard
 morality and these conditions are not decent.
 The strangest thing about 1t all is
 that such 8 state of affairs as this should be allowed to exist. Not only
 are the laws of the state and the city being openly violated but the p1ainest laws of health as well. Conditions are family life which are extinguishing ideas of decency and which are 1nevit- ably encouraging the most revolting l5conditions of society and sowing the seeds of profligacy. of the great social evil and the lowest vice.
 why then are such glaring evils
 allowed to exist in our midst? Are the health authorities helpless? Is l it political influence? Is it because ! of the wealth and personal influence l of the owners of these properties2
 Then let MT. Gordon or the housing committee publish their names that the light of publicity may shine upon
 them and public opinion ward them the credit of doing thus much to the
 health, the morals and the attractive ness of our city

Armed with an axe, President F.. F.. Whitehead of the Whitehead, Jones sCo., went to the company's property, aResidence Park near the Trumbull line, this afternoon, and battered down a gateway erected there about three months ago by the Bridgeport Fly draulic Co. The real estate firm and other holders of property in the neigh borhood claim that an old right of way through the property known as the Willis farm property is a public highway and it is necessary that 1t be kept open in order that the value Of the residential property in the neighhorhood be not impaired.
 The Hydraulic Company claims to have exclusive rights over the old road which extends over a part of the natural water shed of the White Horse Tavern reservoir, and they erected a gate closing the road to traf- fic of all kind.
 President Whitehead, who believes that his company is being taken ad- vantage of, decided to day to bring the matter to a head, and he battered the gate.

The. Bridgeport Medical association has sent to The Farmer the following open letter:
 ssThe city of BBridgeport, in the management of it's public affairs, has done well in selecting for it's various departments, experts-those skilled es- pecially in their particular work; men who have made a Itfe-study in one kind Of service and have done noth- ing else so that they know what to see and are quick to see it.
 For science and system both de- mand and supply the specialist, the ex- pert Ehe prospector, seeking for gold or silver. or lead procures a slxillful mining engineer; the careful traveller, starting out on a journey. employs an experienced chauffeur one who knows both the machine and the roads it is to travel and massive structures of steel and stone rise as if by magic under the guiding hands of the archi- tect and the master builder. In med- icine the specialist is almost as nu- 1nerous as the general practitioner. It is becoming so in general business. We have, expert accountants expert bankers, expert counselors in the Svara- ous departments of law So In plan ming for a city heaNhful as well as beautiful and for the welfare of the poor sNithins 1t.
