Appeal to the Intelligence and
Judgment of the People

The railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey believe that the public
should be fully advised concerning the Full Crew laws in these states. Cost,
experience has demonstrated that these laws have worked to the detriment Of
public interest and that their repeal would rebound greatly to the advantage
of the people.

CABARET ENTERTAINER
 AT WALNUT BEACH IS
 SENTENCED FOR MURDER

William J. Collins, known about Bridgeport last summer when he worked at F'ecker's Sound View hotel at Walnut Beach, as a cabaret singer, was sentenced in New York several days ago to an 1ndeterrninate sentence of from 5 to 15 years in Sing Sing prison, for the murder of his wife.
 Collins was convicted of murdering g his wife with a revolver in New York city last winter. when it was proved that he had shot her with a, revolver during a period of intoxication. Though the circumstances are saAd to have been such as would leave no loop hole for escape. owing to the prison CTS youth and his determination to lead different life upon release from prison, the court showed what elem eny was in it's power with the result that Collins will serve probably about six years in prison.
 Collins, while in this city, lived at Walnut Beach. Mrs. Collins was not known in Bridgeport, never having left Brooklyn until she went to reside with her husband in Lexington ave nue. New York, last winter where the tragedy occurred.

 The year 1914 is noteworthy for an- other considerable ddnin11tion in the typhoid rate in the total population A rate of but a little over 10 for nearly one-fourth of the population of the country is highly encouraging. l While the nine cities that have just topped the 100, 1000 population mark raise the typhoid average somewhat. they do not. appear to be very much worse than the lower cities.

Attack on Allies May be Started The First Part of The
 Coming Week

LONDON, Dec. 31-The week. end finds the war situation in the east and west bearing the outward appearance of comparative quietude, and some observers are ready to pre- dict that operations will virtually remain at a standstill until after the holidays.
 Nevertheless there is no lack of food for speculation, particularly on the eastern front, which now vir- tually stretches across two conti- nents from North Russia to South Persia. In the extreme north there have been unofficial reports that the promised new German thrust between Riga and Dvinsk has al- ready begun, but neither Berlin nor Petrograd confirms this.
 Likewise, the attack on the al- lies stationed at Saloniki may be expected to begin the first part of the week.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 91-Thc jury that heard the evidence in the case of the United State vs. Mathew A. Schmidt, charged with the mur- der of Charles Hagerty, who lost his life in the dynamite explosion of the Los Angeles Times build ing some five years ago, returned 9 verdict this morning of murder in the first degree"
 His trial which commenced some weeks ago, was interrupted by the death of his chief consul. Mean while, his sitter Katherine Schmidt, who resides in Chicago, visited him. Later the trial was resumed with Ortie E. McManigal, as the prose cution star witness. The latter's testimony connected Schmidt with
 he McNamara conspiracy in twenty two dynamiting exploits, one of which destroyed the Times building in Los Angeles killing twenty-one persons and for which the Mc- Namaras we're found guilty.
 Donald Vose, the man who was a friend of Schmidt in New York city and who gave the information that led to his arrest last February was also a witness.

GERMANS MUST LOSE
 SAYS GEN. JOFFRE

PARIS, Dec. 3I.-A well-known deputy recently visited General Jof- ire on the fighting lines, and the following is what he says of the commander:
 "Joffre resides in a little chalet in the midst of a garden. The headquarters and officers of the staff are in a hotel a quarter of a mile away. Joffre's house is very simple and modest. Nothing would lead one to suppose that it is in- habited by the man who commands one of the mightiest armies ever known. No sentinels at the door, no hurrying to and fro of chiefs and officer"
 "We have passed through anx- ious days it is true," remarked Jof- fire. "We had against us almost the whole of the German forces, but now We form an impossible barrier. I do not say that one of trenches cannot fall into the enemy's hands or that we may not lose a minor engagement; but all would be recovered within twenty four hours"

THE ALLIES ANTICIPATE
 NO SERIOUS ATTACK
Apparently Satisfied With Their
 Position at Saloniki

LONDON, Dec. 31-With the Anglo-French forces safely across the Greek frontier and close to their strongly fortified base at Sal oniki, where endorsements are ar irving daily, the second phase of ehe Balkan campaign, which opened with the Teutonic invasion of Ser bia and the defeat of the Serbian army, has closed, and the people of the beligerent countries are await 7g for the next move.
 It seems fairly we'll settled that the Bulgarians do not intend to in- wade Greece, an action which would likely cause dissensions in that country, which already is uneasy over the Bulgarian occupation of Monastir. Also it is not believed that the Austrians and Germans have sufficient troops available tc attack the entente allies.
 Speculation here had to do with the Germans and their intentions. They are variously reported to be concen trated near Monastir and Doiran and on the Romanian bor- der, and as preparing for an at tempt to drive the entente lilies from the Gallipoh peninsula. All these reports lack confirmation

AMERICANS ACCUSED OF COM, PLICITY IN THE WELLAND
 CANAL PLOT
MORE TO BE ARRESTED
Officials Say They Have Tapped The Very Foundation of
 The Dastardly Intention

NEW YORK, Dec. 31-Tne cen tral financial fountain from which flowed fabulous sums of money employed in the most gigantic bomb arson plot in the history of Ameri- ca, has been finally tapped.
 Six men had been brought into the investigation of the alleged plot to destroy the Welland canal or into correlation phases of the can al plot probe Three of these are the actual prisoners under combin- ed bail of S105,0O0. Two are under detention. One, a police officer wearing the shield of the City of New York, has been suspended from duty.
 Detailed confessions, supported by communicated documents have been obtained from two of the six men. These warrant the prediction that there will be within few days from 35 to 50 arrests in all parts of the United States of central power propaganda and their American allies.
 Americans of prominence are in- volved in the plots.
 These men are not so-called Ger man-Americans, but are men who have entered the pro-German con spiracies from motives otter than patriotic.

He also aims at establishing his --~~-----.- ~l5Ar four seas-the North sea through the anneXarlv.. po1 gium, the Black sea through tine Bulgarian alliance, the Aegean sea through the good offices of Turkey and perhaps Greece, and the Adriat- ic sea through Austria. He further is hoping to dominate Africa through the conquest of Egypt and India and Asia by gaining com mand of the Persian Gulf.
 The attempt to fulfill these CO., lossal ambitions will bring his downfall Nevertheless, don't let us imagine that the Austro-Ger- mans are going to allow us to re- main quiet at Saloniki or that Bulgaria will halt midway. I don't rust Greece to help us. If Greek soil is invaded We must rely solely on our own forces.
