KOSHER SAYS
 MIND IS BLANK
 ON AUTO CRASH
.Doesnt t Remember Anything About Careening Down
 OK Hill In Gar.

T don't remember riding down 0x Hill I don't remember how the ac-
 cident happened; in fact I don't re- call anything that happened within a mile of where they say we went through the billboard, 9 declared George L. Moshier to Coroner Phelan at St. vincent's hospital today. Mo shier was driving Dr. George w Os- born's Buick automobile early Wed nesday morning when the car 1eaped from the roadway and went through a billboard at the foot of OK Hill, killing William Costello and severely injur1ng Moshier.
 Coroner. Phelan yesterday heard Arthur Lucier, chauffeur for pr. Os- born, who took his automobile with out leave, James w. Reardon and Raymond Ely, tell how the party started from the Blue Ribbon gar age at midnight, droveS 10 the Elm Country club at Westp ort,s where they had three drinks each and then through Norwalk to Danbury and back toward Bridgeport by way, of Newtown. Moshier told substantial l3 the same story as the others, yex- cept that he claimed his mind is a blank as to how the accident hap pened.
 His last recollection is of passing a mousse aDOuT a. 11l110 3DOV6 O& 141A1- He next remembers being treated by the surgeon on the way ito St. Vim cents hospital Moshier is recover ing. from severe concussi ons of the brain, cuts and other injuries on the head His head is entirely swathed in bandages. His counsel, Attorney Mellitz and Attorney George Mara, who represents LucieF. were present when. the coroner took his statement today.
 Moshier is held in $3,0Oo charged with mansiaughter He will be dis charged from the hospital probably Saturday,. He then will be taken to jail unless he gets bail.
 Frank Costello, a brother of the boy who was killed when the joy riders took the plunge from the road, | denied today the story of Iucier that Costello had proposed the ride to the Casino and later the rides with the two strange girls to Westport. Lucier had told Coroner Phelan this ,yester-' day.
 Why, my brother was playing pin ochIe at our home in Davenport | street, when Lucier drove up in the aut oIn obiIe and asked him to go out v he said. =tMy brother didn't have any engagement to go to the show with | Lucier. He had a date with a girl | and he wanted to go and keep that It looks to me as if Lucier was try ing to clear himself by hiding be- hind a dead man."

The ambassador left no men1oran- dunn or document with Secretary Lansing but made suggestions looking toward the amendment of the com munication he presented 5niNew York last Saturday. Until the document in changed form is received and it's phraseo1ogy examined by officials it was indicated that they would hot be certain whether the Arabic case could be considered on the road to adjust ment.
 From the German embassy came intimations that the American view point had been satisfactorily met and that the entire issue is in process of amicabIe settlement. It was pointed out that dfsavowal of the aIct of sink ing of the Arabic had bEen given through the acceptance by Germany of the evidence submitted by the Unit ed States tending to prove that the German commander erred when he thought the vessel was trying to sink his submarine.
 Admission of the mistake was con veyed last Saturday by the German but the American gov ernment's instruction of it was that acknowledgements of error was value less unless accompanied by repara- ton or the assumption of liability On that point no word could be ob- tained from the embassy or the state department
 \ It was considered possible that if Germany admitted liability the amount

GUSHING 0E IVES
 BREEDS TROUBLE IN 6. Q. P CLUB.
Friends in Fourth Say He Did Not Get Square Deal''-
 May Repndiate Party.

Trouble and dissenBion that has been brewing in. the Fourth District Repub11can club for some time came fo a head last night when Fred D. Ives president of tfae c1u1bs and o11e Of it's organizers resigned Because Of his decided stand in favor of conn mission form of government and be cause he has not been in sympathy with all the administration affairs there was plan on foot to depoSe MT. Ives as president A special meeting was called last night and al- xhoug5a its purpose was not rnade known. those on the inside knew what was coming
 So did MT. Ives He forestalled the action of the club by handing in his reaiEna&son Although the nleeting g was a secret one 1t is said that MT. Ives was roundIy scored for having expressed the opinion that he knew xne Republican leaders would not keep faith with the people in prom sfstng commission form of govern raena.
 Mir. Ives has been prominent in Republican politics in the district for the last IS years He represented for one term and also one term as health X connmdssioner, one year of which he yas president of the board.
 Differences between MT. Ives and workers in the district began two years ago when it was charged that he did not properly support Attor- uey Abe s. GelduIig, the Republican candidate for alderman. Difference es with district workers were, followed by differences with some of the city leaders and MT. Ives, although ex- pectfng it, did not get a. reappoint- naent to the health board. It was sbeheved that these differences had been patched up. when MT. Ives as serted his characteristic independence tn taking a stand contrary to the wishes of the Administration. and in Consequence his removal was de- 1nanded James A. Turner was elected in his place.
 The election of Nfr. Turner has not, however. had the effect of oil on troubled waters for MT. Ives has frtends in the district some of whom declared last night that he did not get a square deal and they openly axowed the Republieans were treat ing rather poorly one who has been q long end faithful worker for the party

MUST RESCIND
 BUILDING CODE
 ATTORNEY SAYS
John 0. Chamberlain, One of Largest Realty Owners,
 Favors Repeal.
RULES PREVENTING
 CONSTRUCTION WORK
Former City Advocate B1ames Lack of Housing
 Facilities on Laws.

1 Little building in Bridgeport of dwellings suitable to house the vast influx of workers, drawn here by the erection of the Arms plants, a general raising of rents January 1, and a pos sib1e revocation. of that part of the new building code relating to the cree ton of six family houses are the pre- dictions made in building circles to- day.
 Former City Attorney John c. Cham undeveloped realty in the city of Bridgeport, and an authority on the subject of property valdes, confirmed the current rumors today for The Farmer He said:
 'tThe prevalent opinion among bank, CTS and realty men in this city is that the present boom is not stable and will cost the city more than its future value. It is true that the munitions works will tend to develop the section of the city in which it is located Nbut the cost to Bridgeport in the matter of streets, sewers and other improve ments will be enormous.
 While thera are a number of small two-faInily houses being built here at the present time, no adequate move ment is on foot to house the thousands that are expected to come, and proper
  der the present code, for the only prof itable development is that which con- siders the six-fani1y tenement. Under the present building code such build ing is prohibitive and will not be at tempted. Eventually the code will have to be rescinded, for at property values in this city there is no possi- bility of erecting such houses as called for under the new ordinance, except at a loss.
 'sThe outcome of this action will be seen about January 1, when all rents in this city will be raised to figures substantially g per cent greater than owner in a position where he can get at least per cent net on his invest nent, but there will have to be other8 increases in4renta1ss before building gan progress, under the new code. r
 While this will aid the landlord working man may have gained $5 per month through shdrter hours or more pay he will simply turn it over to his landlord, and itAwiH mean that fan1t- lies now living separate will have to double up.g
 It will be seen readily that while the passing of the building, code has at tained the ends sought by the Good association who recently spent vast amounts for out Of town 1 experts. the real benefit sought by the has been frustrated through the overcrowding Of smaller houses and the consequent diminished | air space, which has been deprecated | in the campaign propaganda. k
 Mir. Chamberlain and others believe today that little development of the | North end of the\city, except for high | ST classes of residences, will result | from the present boom

SCHOONER SUNK
 OFF WOODMONT:: CREW IS MISSING

New Haven. Oct. 5.-The schooner Brownstone. of Hartford, Captain William A. Pease, of MiddIetown, foundered off Woodmont early today about a, mile and half west of the outer breakwater at the entrance to the local harbor. No trace of the crew had been. found and it is feared they may have been drowned.
 When the vessel went down her foresaiI was still set. It was report ed along the Woodmont shore tn at after she struck a man could be seen clinging to the rigging. but this could not be verified.
 Persons who saw the vessel shortly before she efoundered say the schooner was waIlowfpg about as if not under control.
 The Brownstone is lying in about seven fathoms of water with only part of her masts showing above the surface. A tug which cruised around the scene for some time in a vain ef- fort to find survivors, steamed back into New Haven.

 SITUATION, PARIS SAYS

Paris, Oct 5-Russia's ultiuaa1u1n
 to Bulgaria, is welcomed in Paris as @
 means of clearing the Balkan situa.- ton. Little doubt is felt here that
 France will take similar action and
 that if the Russian minister departs from Sofia he will be accompanied by
 the representative of Great Britain. France and Italy.

 must strike swiftly if they are flo accomplish their purpose in the Bal kans. It is stated that the Italians have 500, 900 idle men under arms

 It is conceded that if Bulgaria should enter the war the situation would be a dangerous one for the al- lies. Unless this blow were parried quickly, military strategists believe, the Serbians might bee rushed be- tween the Germans and Austrians on the north and the BuIgarians on the south. in which case a Teutonfc army might reach Constantinople in a como paratively short time.
 London, oct. 5.-Whether by delay in teIegra phic communications or by some other unexplained cause Bull garia obtained an additional 24 hours in which to decide her coursel The time limit of the Russian ultimatum demanding that King Ferdinand break with the central powers did not expire yesterday afternoon as had been reported, and the Bulgarian had the opportunity of delaying it's decision until mid-after- noon today.
 The Petrograd despatch making this explanation reached London this afternoon, too late for comment in the first editions of the newsPapers. l All Followed the lead of the morning newspa pers, that by her silence Bull garia had definitely committed herself to a Turko- -Teutonic alliance. But with troops of the allies ready, with Russia's squadrons in the Black Sea- prepared to attack Bulgarian ports. and with Bulgarian forces along both 1 the Serbian and Greek fronties, there was believed to be little chance of any development which would pre- vent Bulgaria from aligning herself against the Allies.
