 Public Prosecutor Lescouve and his stan had visited all the places bombs exploded and examined several wit nesses, after which he drew up a re- port which will be annexed to re- ports made on other. airship raids upon the city.
 The city analystst collected the bombs which did not explode and fragments of those which did and took them to his laboratory for a chemical analysis. From a cursory examination he found that most of the missiles dropped were incendiary. containing a. mixture of hosphorous. tar and benzine. provided with a lighting contrivance consisting of a wick soaked in petroleum.

Rev. H. N. PrindIe, a former mag istrate in Maine, and now assistant superintendent of the International Reform Bureau, has indicted the citf- zenship of Bridgeport for vicious con ditions he has found prevailing here
 The investigator was employed by the Bridgeport Pastors association to look into local conditions. He con dennsE on general principles conner ciaaized vice and the combination of amusement with the liquor traffic, the two phases Of Brfdgeport's social con ditions into which he was Instructed particularly to search.
 Summarizing local conditions, he declares it idle to score city officials or politicians for existing condItionss and says that when the citizenship of the town rouses itself to a concerted demand for the abolition of these con ditions. they must inevitably vanish,
 He has confidential lists of the names of property owners whose buildings are used. also of automo- bile owners whose cars have been seen outside resorts. There is also a mass of data concerning the in- mates of resorts.
