Knapp, meat inspector of the health board. was on the ground and both he and Manager Miller promised that there will be no more slaughtering of underweight calves.

Committee Passes Reso1u- ton To Organize Union
 Men Against Debt.

Organized labor of Bridgeport will take up the cudgels against heavy bonding. This action was determined upon after. long discussion in the committee, which met at Carpenters hall, yesterday afternoon.
 the matter to bsk taken up in the Gen. traI Labor Union and among the To- calls.
 It is contemplated that labor will turn out a large number of workers who will have representatives at the polling places to warn the voters against voting to incur large debt.
 This action was taken for many reasons. It was believed that large debt will create charges which must ultimately be met by productive labor.s in the form of additions to rent and things purchased. { It was also believed that the purpose of the zdebt campaign is to prevent the purchase of an ice plant and other public utilities. the operation of which would reduce the cost of. living and re- turn a revenue to the city.
 Much dissatisfaction exists on the part of labor with the present admin istration, which is regarded as signal 1y hostile to the legitimate claims of the organized workers.
 Feeling has especially been bitter over the way a committee of the Pol ishers and Buffers local, No. 90, was treated when it entered a. protest against the purchase Of Indian motor cycles for the police department. member of this committee said yesterday:
 We saw MT Kirk of the Board of Contract and Supply and he told us none would be purchased, that the ap- pro prfation was exhausted. Then the appropriation was made. We went to the Common Council for redress. and our resoIutions was referred by Mayor Wilson to the police commis- sfoners.
 From start to finish we were made victims of the game. called passing the button .'s''
 will be continued during the week and 8 large anti bonding sentiment is ex- pected to be the result.

NIGHT BOAT
 SERVICE TO
 STOP JUNE l5. Steamer Naugatuck will Run Tn Daytime From
 Rosedale Wharf. NEW LINE LIKELY. Old Bridgeport Sold To the McAllisters Is Taken To
 New York.
NEW LINE LIKELY.

On and after June Is the night boat service between New York and Bridgeport will be discontinued by the steamer Naugatuck and that steamer will begin. trips in the day time from the old Rosedale wharf at the foot. of Fairfield avenue. There will be no night between Bridgeport and New York for the first time in more than 40 years
 Night boat service between Bridge port and New York was begun about 1872 according to those who claim to be familiar with happenings about the local harbar. A day boat service had been maintained for many years before from the wharf at the foot of Fairfield avenue.
 The first steamer to run between Bridgeport and New r ork was call ed the Bridgeport and it ran in the service of the Peoples Steamboat Co. before the Civil War. F. T. Barnum was one of the stockholders of this company.
 steamboat Service has been Tnafnkain- ed ever since This winter the steam CT Bridgeport which has been making z trips in the warmer months was sold by the New England Steamship Co, to the McA1lister brothers of New York The latter own many coal barges and steam tugs and have late 1y purchased the Starin fleet of steam CTS that have fo ryears carried excur- sions to Glen Island and up the Hud- son river
 The Bridgeport which usually is moored for the winter here, was taken to New Y York by it's new own CTS that have for years carried excur- England Steamship Go. has not sex cured 3 boat to replace it. Tn warm weather the daytime passenger tra fife to New York increases greatly, hence the order for the steamer to make trips in daylight instead of at night
 N. E. Wedge, assistant treasurer of the steamship company is endeavor- ing to have his company buy steam boat for day service. In the sum mer time the freight for the steam boats between Bridgeport and New. York increases materially. Clerks at the freight office said today that the abandonment of the night service might be laid to the fact that the New Haven road had been required to sell its steamboats. Men about the docks are inclined to scoff at this story and there is rumor that another steamboat line between here and New York may be started soon.

 his views before the South American rraediators in the Mexican medistion negotiations at Niagara Falls, Canada.

It stated the party had been landed from the American torpedo boats, that the light keepers had been ar rested, then released, after they turn ed over apparatus for operation or the strategic beacon
 The mediaCorS were aSked to make to the Washington gov- relative to it's truce with Hu- erta Already it was believed d reply to the note had been made and in some quarters the conviction was ex- pressed that Ambassador DaGama, had taken it up at White House meet ing Sunday.
 It was believed that it would be contcnded that the seizure was in the nature of precautionary measure to safeguard shipping As such. it was asserted, it would be without any significance as territorial aggression.
 Admiral Howard had reported that Huerta, has ordered the suspension Of Iihts on the Pacific seaboard so as to impede navigation by American American ships and the same order was said to have been issued for bea- cons on the Atlantic coast.

R1ToH1E.wELsH FIGHT OFF.

San Francisco, June 3.--Latest dis
patches received here from New York
as well as private kilograms from the
champion himself indicated today that
the proposed Willie RitchieFreddie
Welsh 20round match in London is
off. The principal reason for the hitch
was over the champion 5 demand for a
100000 flat guarantee. Another dis
pute followed over the naming of the
referee and stakeholder.
Bob Vernon, representing the London
syndicate, favored John Kelly for ref
cree and George Considine for stake
holder. Emil Thiery, representing Rit-
chic, is said to have baked and left
the conference. Richie wanted Eu-
gene CORR as the referee, either Bob
Edgren or Billy Gibson to act as stake
holder.
San Francisco promoters admitted
they were in the field for lightweight
championship battle. Promoter james
w. Coffroth declared he would like tc
stage Ritchie- Charlie White bout, but
said it could not be put on until Aug
ust or September because of his ar
rangements for a middleweight mattel
between George Chip and Billy Muir
ray.
Eddie Grancy has the professional
permit for next month, and he is ex
pected to make Ritchie an offer for
bout against either Welsh or Charlie
White. In fact, Graney was quoted
as saying he was prepared to offer th'
champion $4,000 for such contest.
Coffroth said the Chip-Murray mattel
is as good as made. The two fighter
have received satisfactory offers, ant
the only possible hitch now is over thu
weight questions. Murray insists tha
the weight be 1853 pounds ringsidC
while Chip wants it to be 1853 fiv
hours before the battle.

MEXICAN CITIZENS TO
WORK ON ROADS TOMORROW

Lansing, Mich, June 3.-Under proc
lamation of Governor Ferris-the frs;
of its kind ever penned by Michigan
xecutive-citizens all over the state
will observe tomorrow at "road bee
day. In many cities and towns banks,
business places and factories will be
closed for the day and thousands OF
merchants and bankers will work side
by side with laborers and factory men
for the Improvement of the state $
highways.
The state highway commissioner, who
endorsed the governors plans for
"'road bee day." realized the neces-
sity of effective organization if the
results hoped FOR were to be accom-
plished, and he accordingly prepared
and caused to be spread broadcast over
the state, a bulletin setting forth eff
fective methods of road building, re-
pair and Improvement. His sugges-
tions were expected to be generally fol
lowed. In nearly every school district
in the state,a S"road boss" was ap-
pointed, and under mis- direction thou
sands of citizens planned to work 10y
ally throughout the day. More tnan
$7,O00000 was expended for the i'm
provement of the 10000 miles of rura
highwas in Michigan last year and an
other large sum will be appropriated
for the same purpose during 1914.

II Is Admitted That the Giants and

of Their Organizations.
CONNIE MACK AND M'GRAW
WILL HAVE TO WORK HARD
washington Senators Is the Only Team
Athletics Fear SO Far This Sea-
son-Pirates on Down Grade.
BY Hal Sheridan.

New York, June 3.-Again it looks
like big doings at the Polo grounds
and Shibe Park in October. True, the
season is yet young, but it is far enough
advanced to give tne baseball critics
line on the various clubs in the Ma
lional and American leagues And it
nust be admitted that the Giants and
Athletics are showing the class Of their
respective organizations.
AT present the Giants are topping the
clubs in Governor Teners league, and
the Athletics are leading the American
leaguers.
Cincinnati is pressing the Giants
hard, but McGraw expects Herzog s
Rods to crack soon. He insists that
the team is playing away over its head
and predicts It will DO Daniel Me.
Cinty before many days. After start
ing ike a peanant winner, Fred Clark :
Pirates are on tho down grade, and arc
now resting in third place.
Tne only team the Athletes fear is
Clark Griffith s Washington Senators
This club worked its way to the front
of the procession only to be oyerhauled
hy the champions, and Connie Mach
now insists that it Is 100 to ! sho'
that the Athletics will now stay put.
Manager Herzog is working wonders
with the Cincinnati club, and may b,
in the running next year. He has hi
players on edge and his pitchers ar,
going fine One Of Ilcrzog most con
sistent winners so far mas been Phi
Douglas, who was released last yea
is the San Francisco club because Man
ager Howard thought he lacked class.
1t will require some work, both Con
nie Mack and John McGraw admit, 1
take away the lead from them,
McGraT's pitchers, especially Math
Cweon, Tesreau and Marquard, are &c
lug like house afirc, and when thes
three twirlers are right they will kec
any team in the running. Mack s vel
orau beavers, Chief Bender and Eddi
Plank, are bearing the brunt of tn
twirling for the Athletics.
