BRIDGEPORT MOURNs
 CHARLES J. MURPHY,
 THE BASEBALL COP

Charles J. Murphy, the sta1wart bIuecoat who for many years kept back the baseball fans along the first base line at Newfield park, died at his home, 53 Jones avenue, last night, after a long illness. Murphy was struck by an automobile many months ago, and while he was laid up, complications developed from which though naturally of unusually pow erfuI physique, he was unable to rally.
 Murphy was one of the best known men of the city. He often guarded city work, directing traffic through torn-up streets, in this way becoming familiar figure. A mason by trade, though of late years he did not fol- low the craft, serving almost exclu- sively as a special policeman.
 The deceased was a native of Ire
 land. He came to America as a youth, and spent the greater part of his life in Bridgeport. He was ad- mitted to the special police force about 20 years ago. For a number of years he was night watchnan at the city yard. He was Watchman, too, on the docks where the work was in progress for the construction of the first of Simon Lakes submarines. Known as a conscientious and fear less officer, he was rarely out of em- p1oyment in position calling for more than average reliability.
 Young Bridgeport knew Murphy best as the baseball cop. Murphy of fiiciated for years at Newfield park, and the approach of the giant special,
 brandishing his club, was sufficient to frighten off the enthusiastic youngsters who in their gIee crowded | too far upon the field. But he was
 noted, too, for the exercise of good 1 judgment, depending more upon
 words than force to preserve the
 peace.
 1 He is survived by his widow, three
 sons. Michael J., David F., and Will
 liam Murphy and two daughters, Mrs. Joseph Bennett and Agnes Murphy. l Another son, John, died a few
 months ago. All the surviving sons
 are members of the special police de- parement. There are many relatives 1 surviving in Ireland

AUSTRIAN

Vienna, Feb. 1s-Omcial reports given out in Vienna say that after two days of hard fighting the Austrians have occupied the town of Ko1omea in Bukowina-
 This success was achieved yester- day afternoon by means of a general attack on the Russian positions" the report says. We drove the enemy, in spite of his stubborn resistance, out of his last positions in front of Kolomea, thus reaching the town at one operation. We prevented the Russians from blowing up the bridge over the river Pruth. The town, clear of retreating Russians, was oc- cupied by us. We captured 2s0o0 prisoners and several machine guns and light cannon.
 ''In the CarpatIian section, as far as Vischkof, the fighting continues with great ferocity, four thousand additional prisoners having been brought in.''

 INQUEST ON CORR
 MURDER MYSTERY
Finds NeWtown Cobbler Was Slain by sPerson or Per
 sons Unknown

That John Corr, the Newtown cob Ter was murdered by a, person or per sons unknown is the finding of Coro- ner Phe1an made today. It will be recalled that on August 13 Iast, the dead body of the unfortunate shoe maker was found in his little shop. His head had been crushed with blows of an axe taken from the cellar of his shop. The shop walls were. be- spattered with blood and his trunk and other effects had been ransa acked. A small sum of money which the cobb1er had on his person was over looked by the murderer.
 Some time ago Michael Brennan, a character of the town, was arrested on suspicion of knowing something of the, crime but no evidence was pro- duced to warrant holding him.

SENATE NTS
 .CORBIN;; VOTES TO HIRE TAX EXPERT
Tax Commissioner Not to Assist Finance Committee
 In Selection of Man
fspecial to The Far1ner0

NLo
 Hartford, Feb. 1S.-The senate today damned through by a vote of 26 to 5 the administration resolution, author izine the finance committee to hire an .sexpert'' on matters of state taxation. The resolution was passed after the senate had voted down Senator Pur- cells amendment, naming the tax commissioners to act with the finance committee in the hiring of any neces- sary assistance.
 The resolution again provoked very lively debate and Senator Bree and Purcell made repeated and unsuccess- ful efforts to ind out why the Repub- sioner Corbin's acting in conjunction with the finance committee.
 Senator Wadhams and Talcot Rep.) defended the committee resolution and opposed the Purcell amendment but neither specifically answered the re- peated inquiry as to the objections to MT. Corbin's name being included in the appointive body.
 Senator Ta1cott became rather heat ed in his answer to Senator Purcell S remarks, which he thought reflected on the members of the finance com mittee. Senator Talcott said the com mittee was unanimous in favoring the original resolution.
 Senator Purcell interrupted, Senator Talcott to ask him when he first heard of the resolution. "It was after it's in troduotion in the senate,'' replied Sem ator Talcott, and there was an audible litter throughout the room.
 Senator Cheney and Senator Hurley spoke in favor of the amendment and Senators Isbe11, Evarts, Heineman and Magee opposed the amendment. On a roll call vote the amend drnent was lost l 26 to 8 those voting for the amend ment being Senators Cheney, MoIloy Purcell, King, Whitney, Grady, Bree and Hurley. The resolution was ther passed on a, yea and nay vote.

FIGHT FOR SHIP PURCHASE BILL
 BEGINS ANEW
Democratic Leaders of Sen ate Anxious to Effect Fur
 ther Amendments

Washington, Feb. 1s.-The fight over the amended government ship pur- chase bill was renewed in the Senate today with the fate of the measure still uncertain.
 With a view to clearing up the sit uation the Democratic leaders were ready, when the Senate met, to make another effort to send the bill to con ference for further amendment in or der to win the support of recalcitrant Democrats and progressive Repubh- cans. They are not satisfied with the bill in it's present form. The support of either faction is necessary. to the passage of the measure. Unsuccess- full attempts were made in the Senate yesterday to send the measure to con- ference.
 Tn. renewing the attempt today. the Democratic leaders were confronted with the prospects that the Republi- cans, who declare that the bill is dead, would insist upon consideration of the supply measures before they let up in their opposition to the shipping bill.
 Administrati ton leaders believe they can find way to take up the appro- priation bills in a day or so.
