WITNESSES IN CITY
 COURT LIKE STUDENTS <
 IN AUTOMOBILE SCHOOL

It looked like an automobile driving class that Prosecuting Attorney Alex ander L. Delaney marshaIed along the front windows of the second story of the Police and Charities building this forenoon. In reality it was a test of 3 number of city court witnesses abilities to judge the speed of autono- piles, in connection with their testi- mony in trial of an auto driver.
 Louis Dinerstein, A Taft avenue, bowled over a trolIeyman, Joseph Cur tts, last week. when he stepped from the left side of his car to pick up a dime. Dinerstein claimed he was pro- ceeding with due caution and that the negligence was with the trolleyman.
 For the purpose of getting the re- suits of actual observation, rather than 'guesswork, Delaney took witnesses to the nnishaps to the Fairfield avenue side of the building. where they watched machines passing the building. They pointed out machines they believed were going. at the rate followed by Dfnerstetn, %and then the conclusion was reached that Dinerstein must have been driving about seven or eight miles per hour.
 pinerstein was exonerated and dis charged.

 Commissioners

The annual report of Spencer R
 Gordon. superintendent of public char ities. was Submitted to the board at a
 meeting held yesterday and shows
 dedciency Of s1o.516.6d. against which $7, 400 had been returned to the city
 treasury under a sTuIing whieh pre-
 vents cash from one account being ap-
 piled to other accounts to bring up the
 deficiency The actual deficiency for the year is therefore $s,086.10. The to- tai expenditures for the year were s1so o3e.6o, as against $ao6, ,sO2.2 20 the previous year.
 It is shown that administrative or
 ders to relieve those seeking employ nent at the charities department had increased Individual aid from 8,464 cases in 1914 to 10.241 this year, or nearly TO per cent- over last years fig lres. The sum of sis, 70 was spent
 for labor of the unemployed at Lake view home. The care of the sick iza- sane and tuDercular increased from s42. .2os-96 to $52. 4o1.25. a difference of s1o; ;197.29.
 The report deals with the feeble
 minded who 1t is said are a menace to the city A tuberculosis clinic with q staff of visiting nurses is recommend ed. @ The Administration of Lakeview home is reported as satisfactory, and recommendations 5are made for the purpose Of restraining inmates from leaving the institution and returning l in an intoxicated condition or begging g upon the streets while on leave Of ab- sence.
 The deficiency will compel a special
 meeting of the board Of apportionment 1 which was requested yesterday by the charities commissioners that the defi- tcienctes may be straightened out. Z l A request from the Lakeview Gem etery association asking that the board change fhe name of Lakeyiew Home 1 to some other name, that people might not be led to believe that Lakevfew cemetery is the same as the city burial plot at Lakeview home will have fur ther consideration.

That even officers of the law and directors of automobile traffic cannot be perfect in their Judgment was es- tablished this morning when Deputy Sheriff Hezekiah EIwood of Fairfield and the police automobile carrying prisoners to the county jail were in collision on Fairfield avenue at the entrance to the Police and Charities building.
 As result of the apparently un- avoidable smash. the steering gear of the sherifrs ear was broken and the left mudguard of the police patrol was badly bent. The prisoners. with Court Officer Christopher Finnegan in charge. were severely shaken up.
 The patrol. driven by Clifford J.Gor- gas, was emerging from the station yard into the street when EIwood, travelling west, ran into it. A vehicle standing beside the curb had obstruct- ed the drivers view.

supt. Birmingham Is Doing Quite We'll, and Has No Thought of Being Railroad ed to Satisfy Greed of Poli= ticians.
BRISTOL NOT NOW
 SLATED FOR PLACE
Doesn't Want Bfr1ninqhani's Job and Couldn't Get ii, Just Now, Even If He Did Want

It is a little early to name ths next superintendent of police, if the views current in police circles. are to be ae- cepteds Supt. Eugene Birmingham. the best superintendent Bridgeport ever had, is quite well and hearty thank you, and continues to hold the job with satisfaction to the public.
 The rumors of his resignation are certainly unfounded. and as near as the human mind can perceive. he has no intention Of resigning. The same state of mind may be attributed to Capt. George Arnold. head of ths de tect1ve bureau and to all the rest of the police veterans upon whose jobs the administration spoiIsmen turned their batteries a year ago, or so.
 The revfving stories of the retire ment of Supt Birmingham are traced to the pension bill in Hartford, which brings aid to the spoilsmen with g clause in which it is specified that the police commissioners may retire any veteran of 60 years or over who has been 25 years in the depart sn1ent, without recourse to appeal to the courts.
 It Is doubtful if the commissioners will go ahead with their retirements. even when the law comes into Bridgeport signed by the governor The fact is that another bluff has D6Gn Cahl9Q% S1LS QOt4L1C4S444a ed that the police veterans would be an easy prey to threats and inslnua- tions Of what would happen if their resignations were not Forthcoming But this is not the first time the vet erans have stacked up against poItti- clans eager for places in the police department. They are not going to resign. If the police board should have the nerve to retire the veterans without their consent 1t is pretty we'll understood they will appeal to the courts just the same to ascertain if it is the fact that the job of public servant in a civil service place can be taken away at the whina Of a politt- clan, without regard to the abilities of the officer or to his usefulness in the service.
 As for supt. Birmingham he de- clines to talk As for the printed story that Lou Bristol is. to be the next superintendent, that might have been true if the original attempt to remove the veterans had Succeeded, but it is not true now. It is not true for two reasons. MT Bristol doesn't want the, job and he couldn't get ie he did.

TRAFFIC COP LIKE RINGMASTER WITH A
 REPLACEMENT DRIVER
Traffic PoH

Traffic Policeman Flanagan might qualify for ringmaster in the circus. following his experience, last evening with a reca1c1trant teamster, Peter Lawson.
 Lawson drove a wagon into the city past the traffic officer, at Broad street and Fairfield avenue, late yesterday. He was nearly overcome with intoxi- cants. The officer reused him and sent him on his way.
 Lawson revived half a block beyond the traffic officers post, and returned to berate him. The officer consented to give him his name and number Lawson, apparently satisfied started on his way to police headquarters. then returned a second time with his team and began circ1ing the officer. Flanagan at length was obliged to place him under arrest, and to-day Lawson paid a fine Of $6 for his fun. He was charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace.
