FRESH BREAK IN
 DEMAND STERLING

New York, June 19-Opening- Rock Island securities were the chief sub ject of speculative activity in the early stock market today. The debenture bonds developed exceptional strength They bounded up 4 3-4 to TT If, a gain of more than seven points in two days. The refunding bonds jumped 1 1-2. The collateral and the common and preferred stock, on the other hand, were lower. These movements were interpreted in the light of the report that an assssnent Of about 3o,o0o, 900 would be levied on the stock.
 The general market movement was narrow and irregular with a fairly firm undertone and a majority of small advances. Engagement was announc- ed of $1, ,5o0, 900 more gold for export
 Noon-Prices hardened slowly during the morning; but there are larger deal ing in a few low priced specialties. Am other sharp break occurred in demand sterling making a. drop of about 100 points in three days.
 Bonds were irregular. Sales of bonds in the first hour were almost $1, coo 900 par value, and more than half of the total for yesterdays full session. Two thirds Of this trading was in the Rock Island issues. Rock Island col1aterals continued to fall. They touched 30, the lowest ngure at which they. ever sold.

GETTING WHAT THEY VOTED FOR

T IT IS NOT STRANGE that in government organized by and for public service corporations those influential organizations should be permitted to do as they please It was, however, unwise upon the part of these gentry to make swamp of Clinton avenue, for his street4iis borIered on both sides by men strong enough in the affairs of Bridgeport to make their displeasure felt.
 The thing is in keeping with the streak of bad road between the tracks of the trolley com pany on Fairfield avenue, where the citizens have laid a costly Warrenite pavement At ESeaview avenue and Stratford avenues the cit izens put down wood block last falI but the street where the trolley tracks join there is just as it used to be.
 These matters are entirely in the hands of the voters If they like that sort of thing, they have only to vote into office men who will be certain to give it to them.

CORONER TO HOLD
 AUTO HEARING IN WARD OF HOSPIT AL

A private ward in the Stamford hospital will be the scene of cor soners hearing tomorrow, when Cor oner Phelan will take the testimony of Robert Mitchell of New York, who was seriously injured in an automo- bile smashup on the highway be- tween Riverside and Mianus on May IT,. A.. D. Clark received injuries at the time from which he later died
 According to the. testimony of pre- -vious witnesses, Clark's car had brolz- en down on the road, and he was making repairs with his headlights burning brightIy. Suddenly a car owned and driven by John D. Curtis, prominent broker of New York city, who resides in Greenwich, bore down upon him.
 Curtis was lying under his car at the time. The Clark car was forced into the ditch by the force of the impact, while the Curtis car overturn- Cd. Clark received burns from which he died Mitchell was thrown from the car and seriously injured
 Because of a. desire to secure Mitch elI's testimony, Coroner Phelan held his finding until he was sufficiently recovered.

TRAIN CREW IS NOT BLAMED FOR DEATH


 The engine crew of the express train which struck Mrs. Raha Carduck in the Norwalk yards, Wednesday morn ing. killing her instantly. was abso1v- ed of all blame by Coroner PheIan as result of his hearing held in thar city yesterday A number of witt nesses to the accident were called. and testified in the manner of the accI- dent.
 Mrs Carduck had been gathering coal. and. upon the approach of a freight train. stepped into an adjoining track The noise of the passing train drowned out the noise of the express as it approached She did hot hear the whistle, although witnesses testi- fled it was blown repeatedly. She was struck hy the heavy engine and thrown many feet.
 Engineer Frank c. Taylor of Port chester, testified that he saw the wo- man as he was rounding the curve He blew his whistle. and seeing that the woman apparently did not hear it. threw the brakes on. So close was the woman that the express was still going at a rapid pace when she was struck.

UNFAIR CRITICISM OF
 CONGRESSMAN DONOVAN.

M SCRUTINY OF SOME of the Washington
 A correspondence that comes into Bridge port does not commend it to the thoughtful For instance. on June 16 the esteemed Telegram, fused to let the Alaskan delegate explain his biIl-
 A glanceeat the congress ssional record shows that the Alaskan delegate did explain his bill, and that Mir. Donovan's objection to the expenz allure of money for costly site for postoffice ait Fairbanks, Alaska, was based on the fact that the place has postoffiee and that the postal re- eeipts there are steadily decreasing, and not large enough to warrant large expense for building.
 The same correspondent, in treating Mr. Donovan's parliamentary activities, says that vsy the idea that he issseeking a quarrel for the auarrels sake, view which cannot b sustain ed and ought not to be eonveyed
 scrutiny of the Congressional Record does indeed show that the Connecticut states man is more active than most first term mem bers upon the floor, but it also shows that his activities all move toward beneficial ends. Eith- CT he is trying to maintain orderly procedure in the House, or trying t0 save money for the taxpayers, or, very frequently, trying to per- slade other congressman to earn their salaries by attending the sessions of the House In this latter matter, especially, he has done very fine service If he has not corrected the. evil of absenteeism he has lessened it, and he has fur= nished the information upon which the country may judge the industry of the men who have been sent to Washington and paid liberal salar- ies for work which they have not performed Every congressman is open to criticism of his official actions. But the criticism ought to be just. It is not just to describe him as clash ing or rowing when he is in fact using the parliamentary priviliges entrusted to him, to enforce the duty of attendance, and lessen the evils of absenteeism.

SOME ALWAYS OBJECT

TN ESPITE THE feeling Of the committee on 4-& commission government that the ,ini- tiative, referendum and recall Twas objected to by some, it has decided to include those powers in the proposed charter because they were est sential to the success of the commission plan as evinced by the experience of other cities.'
 Very sound reasoning. Everything 4isto tob jected to by some, even commission government in any form. But essential things have to be in4 eluded insall sound programs. Essen ntial in this case is g word of the same meaning as neces4 sary, and when some are unfortunate enough to object to what is necessary, the wishes Of some must take back seat.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

T-HE SITUATION in Mexico is made more
 1 complex for Mexicans by the dispute between Carranza and Villa. The country be- ing in state of war, and Villa the most suc- cessfnl general among the militants, it would seem as if the difference must be settled against Carranza-
 The United States continues it's attitude of Nvatchful waiting Events have approved this course. The United States is not injured be- cause it's army is not engaged in war. It would not benefit us in the least to kill some thou sands of Mexican peons, or to lose some thou sands of our own people by bullet and disease. Subsequent events may justify a war, but no justification for any other course than the pres ident has adopted has yet arrived.

THE EFFORT TO sIDETRACK TERRY

IT T WOULD seem little more consderate of public opinion especially in view of the paving scandal--not to take Mr. Terry out of his natural duty to supervise the construc- ton of the new bridge He is paid large sal ary, knows how to do the work, and would probably see to it that the specifications are neither of the scIosed" or graft type. His em- ployment would work an economy, and give the people the benefit of an additional protec- ton by officers who are paid by them, and who, living in the city, are accountable to them. Any effort to side track MT. Terry will be perfectly well understood to mean exactly what it will mean.
