DR.. Geo. Lininger, OF Chicago, was
among our pleasant callers this week,
being out from the city looking over
his landed interests here. The doc
tor has a fine improved farm at Bar
rymore under the management OF the
Hoppe Bros. for several years, and
which has been brought up to a high
state of cultivation. He finds time
each year to make visit to the tract,
and he is always welcomed, as he is
one OF those who has always had
great faith in the country, and has
backed up his faith with substantial
work on his farm. May his expecta-
lions be more than fulfilled. is the
wish OF the Times.

LABOR DAY PLANS
 GET NEW IMPETUS

Plans for the big Labor day parade and festivities at Bridgeport are boom ing. The New Haven road has noli- fled the transportation committee that big reductions, amounting almost to half fares. will be granted from Wat erbury. Danbury, Meriden and as far as Hartford, owing to the report or their traffic agents that the number of persons coming from these points will warrant many special trains.
 It begins to look as if Bridgeport will really be converted into metropolis for that day. That merchants will make it a gala day with decorations abundant throughout the city Is tnd1- cated by the enthusiastic letters re- ceived by the Central Labor Union from local merchants.
 The Central Labor Union will have leading place in the parade, and have decided that the five delegates to their body from each labor organization adopted by their several organizations, The a,dvisability of this plan has appealed to the officers of the Central. Labor Union as the most appropriate for the occasion.
 General reports from all locals tn- tdicate progress and specially pleasing news comes from Merfden where labor was to hold a picnic but have discon- tfnued the plans in favor of coming in body to Bridgeport and attempt Ing to OurnunDer WaIerpury, lHeAr nearest rival.
 President Alden, of the Massachu setts branch of the American Federa- etion of Labor has accepted an invita- tton to speak at the afternoon exer- cises in which Governor Simeon Bald win will be the principal speaker. Ac- ceptances of the invitation rendered Congressman Jeremiah Donovan is daily expected. Compensation com missioners of the state are expected to likewise be present, local commission CT Edward T. Buckingham already having accepted for Fairfield county.
 President Stout, of the local Central Labor Union, asked for his opinion on the effect the big labor demonstration will have on the growth of local unions, said: t@'A statement on that ques- as the outpouring of labor men. their families and friends, statewise,z to Bridgeport on Labor day would speak in much stronger language than any thing he might say at this tine.'

ina1 member of the .tTuneful Trio which made such great successes throughout theatres in New England until it disbanded. Later in the team of Burdick and Barry, singers and dancers he again achieved such suc- cess that with the recommendation of impressarios of the first magnitude it was but short time before he was staging many of the amateur affairs given for charitable purposes. He has written several of the local high school plays and is accorded a prom inent place in the list of directors who make professionals out of the raw material
 In speaking of the cast of the com ing all women minstrels MT. Burdick states that never before in his ex- perience has he begun with such ex- ceptionalIy trained voices as those, which have volunteered to appear in this new conception. When the new material that has been originated by director Burdick is brought out by those under his charge it is believed that one of the most unique and nov el acts of it's kind will have been placed on the already standard record achieved by the young director.

FINANCIAL NEWS LETTER
Raron Financial News.)

New York. Aug. 13-walI Street is greatly puzzled at the apparent change of front on the part of New Haven directors. Their rout seems complete and inexp1icable in view of the pay ment of retainers to some of the most eminent counsel in New York city by the defendants in the dissolution suit From. the number of appear ances entered in the suit of the gov ernment for the dissolut tion of the New Haven, Boston & Maine, New England Navigation and other allied companies, it appeared that concerted action had been taken and that the contentious Of the governIn ent were going to be vigorously fought Fifteen of the de- fendants had already entered appear ances in the United States district fendants being among the foremost corporation lawyers in the country. The court had extended the time for defendants to file answers until Sep tember TO-

 The burdens of Stock Exchange wire houses have been materially frightened by the action of the Western Union Postal Telegraph and American Tele- phone companies, which furnish the private wires, in suspending the charges during the period the Stock Exchange remains closed. This gem erous attitude will obv5ate the neces- sity of removing wires from some of the smaller houses, which were begin ming to worry about paying for their idle wires.
 The decision rendered by the Federal court in St. Paul in the International Harvester dissolution suit is another sweeping victory for the administra- ton in it's antitrust campaign. This suit was filed against the international Harvester company in 1912, by Attor- ney General McReynoIds and hearings in the case were held at New York Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul, Omaha Wichita, Kansas City, Sioux Falls and Pittsburgh. The suit probably holds the worlds record. for the number of witnesses examined, a total of I.25s persons being called to testify, 80 by the government and 1,173 by the de- fendant corporation. What effect the dissolution will have on the securities of the company is as yet somewhat prob lernatica1
 The Buckeye Pipe Line company has declared dividend of s a share. a reduction of $1 share from the divi- dend declared three months ago, and a reduction of $2 a share compared with the rate in force up to last May. This follows similar action by the Crescent Pipe Line company. and they are the forerunner of what is likely to happen to other pipe line dividends if present conditions brought about bv | the European war continue much long er The pipe line business has been none too good since the beginnin. Of the current year, and the present se- were jolt to the industry may give the pipe lines set back from which they will not recover for some time.

PLAZA THEATRE

t'The Face On the Barroom Floor another of those side-sphtting, house crowding Keystone riots of mirth with Charles Chaplin, the famous 'Drunk'' comedian in the principal role, will be. one of the many attractive features
 on the Plaza's program for the latter half of the week, commencing with todays matinee. Chaplin has world of opportunity afforded him in this reel and it is a safe bet that he doesn't let one chance slip by him. Needless
 to say the Plaza is going to witness some phenomenal business when this peerless 1augh-provoker appears on the screen.
 Stravitz and Strassper, a violin and piano act that has Init the spot'' with
 music lovers wherever it has appeared, will head the vaudeville program. These. young people are masters Of
 their respective instruments and they have chosen a, diversified program of classical and rag-time hits to win To- cal favor It is big act, put over
 in a big manner and sure to win an enthusiastic reception.
 Fun and plenty of it will be found i in the act presented by Kelso and Leighton, which consists of a little of thing.
 Howard and Simon, known to vaude- williams throughout the east and mid. dle-west as one of the fastest singing ana danc1ng acts now appearing III polite vaudeville, will be an important feature of the bill.
 Then come more laughs but this time with just a little sea soning of sensa- tiona1ism, for Potter. Hartwen and company are knockabout comedians who know the business backwards. LaSere and Lasere a, man, woman
 and dog, in a comedy gymnastic of fering that is claimed to be far differ er1t from anything ever before present ed here compose the vaudeville end of the bill. The photoplay program includes t'The Little House in the VaIley,' an American feature in two parts and
