WANT MAIN STREET TRAFFIC TO TRAVEL
 IN ONE DIRECTION
Many Automobile Drivers Fa- VOr Plan to Make One
 Way ThOrOughfare.

To relieve traffic condition at Main street and Fairfield avenue Alderman Moran last night introduced in the common council an amendment to the regulations so that traffic shall be only one way at this corner. If his plan is adopted all vehicles proceed ing in Fairfield avenue must follow straight across Main street. They cannot turn at the corner. The same rule will apply to vehicles pro- ceeding in Main street The propos- ed change in Nthe ordinances was re- ferred to the ordinance committee. It has been proposed before and re- jected but many persons, especially automobile drivers, favor it.
 Likewise it adopted a, number of amendments to the ordinances to for bid all persons sleeping on the grass or on benches in the public parks. In fact the regulations as now drawn just about allow the people to walk about and breathe in the parks.
 Mrs. Olga Drachewski of Bishop avenue, returned to the city a check for $34.S4 which she has received from the board of charities at the time her husband was i'll with tuber- culosis The A. W. Burritt Lumber Co.,, where her husband was employed sold her house for her and she said with the proceeds she can now live without work so she returned the money.
 Now that Handy & Harmon have removed their factory from the vicin- ity of John street, Alderman Mac Favden wants the board of appraisal of benefits and damages to make new appraisal and the matter of ex- tension of John street from Fairfield avenue to State street reopened. The council voted last night to refer the matter back to the board for a new appraisal. The former estimate of the board set the damages which the city would have to pay at $173,272. Of this amount the city thought Han dy & Harmon should receive $39 900. The company claimed o,ooO and al- so cited that it would be entitled to damages reimbursement for the ex- pense of moving its business else where.

STATE POLICE HEAD
 THINKS KING HAS
 NOT BEEN IN CAPITAL

Hartford, Sept. 21-Thomas F. Egan, superintendent of state police, said yesterday that h. did mot believe there was any truth in the runaor that C1itus King, the Fairfield law yer wanted by the authorities on a charge of embezz1ement. was in this city recently. The runor had reach ed his office and he felt it his duty to have it thoroughly investigated.
 From what he had learned he did mot believe King was in Hartford on the day named in the rumor. He was inclined to the opinion that the runnor was started in the interest of the fugitive so as to throw the au- thorities off the scent and to make it more difficult to capture him. MT. Egan said that while he had not been given warrant for the arrest of King he had received a complaint from the authorities in Fairfield coun- ty and on the strength of this com plaint his department was making ef- forts to arrest King.
 There is no reason to think that the efforts to capture him will be un- successful said Superintendent Egan.

NEW RULING PUTS QUIETUS ON SOLO
 SINGING RAG MEN
Council Adopts Ordinance tot Protect Slunnber of Night
 Workers.

Rag pickers, vegetable pedd1erE, ice cream cone vendors. fish nnongers, and bakers are expected to raise a united c1amor during the next few weeks. when the police attempt to enforce an ordinance adopted last night by the common council.
 According to the ordinance. huclx- strs and others will not be allowed to shout about their wares, ring bells, blow horns or make any of the noises that have been used to attract atten- ton to~their wares.
 The new ordinance puts the qufstus on the so1o-singing rag collector who infests the South End. The bugle blowing baker of the East Side will be deprived of his daily pleasure. The fellow who shouts "AppoIes' all over the city will join the man with Iva grinder and ice cream cone purveyor the gentlemen who have skill at mending 'sumbrellas'' must seek a more peaceful method of making their presence known.
 What effect the ordinance will have remains to be seen. How the rag col lector and the coal man can call atten- ton to their businesses without doing a house to house. canvass is a prob lem.
 The great increase in the number Of night workers in the city and the com pIaints they have made about the shouts and other noises that rent the morning air, caused the introduction of the ordinance.

WOMAN'S WORK IS CUT OUT FOR HER,
 SAYS MRS. WINTON
StratfOrd'S Woman Politician, ! Candidate for Reelection,
 Is Confident.

That a. woman can materially and successful aid in the conduct of municipal affairs is the firm belief of Stratford's woman politician, Mrs. Rosamund Winton.
 'Tn appearing before the voters of the town for reelection to the school board,'' Mrs. Winton said today, T stand upon my own record and upon the record of the work done by the board itself. Never before in the history of Stratford have such for ward strides been made in syster1liz- ing and successfully carrying on the work of the school board. It has taken the board a long time to get things in hand for start, owing to the chaotic condition in which it found the towns school affairs, but in the three years just past the board has accomplished wonders.
 Hundreds of dollars. Mrs. Winton said, have been saved to the town by the energies of the school board members. New systems have been inau ugurated and for, the first time many dollars have been saved by the prompt payment of bills.
 'tStratford's school situation is still far from being cleared ups Mrs. Winton stated, "and it behooves the voters to return the board members to office so that they may complete the important work they have strug- gled so hard to get in hand, and are now in a position to push ahead to a favorble conclusin.'
 Mrs. Winton is making no automo- bile campaign, she said, being con tent to depend upon the verdict of the thinking voter who takes the trouble to inquire into the actual results at tained by the efforts of the school board members.

ties of New Jersey were trying today to keep order at the Standard Oil plant in Bayonne without calling out the militia At the same time it was stated that if the strike situation be- came worse the militia could be called into service at an hours notice.
 Governor Fielder, who left his home in Seagirt to be near the scene of trouble. was in New York today awaiting word from Adjutant Gen era1 Sadler and Sheriff Kinkead which would determine whether troops were needed.
 The sheriff, who asked the governor to send troops to Bayonne yesterday had 25O deputies guarding the oil plant all night and searchlights mounted op the roofs of buildings, swept the walls of the plants and the streets nearby.
 There was comparative calm around the plants of the Standa Oil and Tfdewater Oil Companies early today and the deputies sworn in by Sheriff Knkead to preserve order had little to do. Throughout the night an oc- casional shot was heard but so far as the police could assert, no one was injured.
 This is pay day at the oil works but whether the strikers will report for their wages will be determined by a committee of workers
 The sale of firearms and explosives has been forbidden in Bayonne, N. J.
 Conciliators John A. Moh1tt and James A. Srnyt1ne, who were detailed to try to end the strike by Secretary of Labor Wilson arrived in Bayonne today and immediately set to work. MT Moff1tt conferred with the strik- CTS committee and MT. Smith went to the Standard Oil works to consult with the officials in charge.
 The funeral of the riot victim John Stran1cIlik, it was announced, was postponed until tomorrow or Sunday. It was thought best to defer the bury ing of the victims until the feeling among the people in the strike dis trict had subsfded' further.
 Fourteen of the injured in Bayonne hospital, it was said, were suffering from severe wounds.

STRIKERS MAKE NEW RECRUITS
 IN THE REMINGTON FACTORIES

Although no effort was made to in crease the number of machine shops or factories employing machtnists in volved in the strike situation here, to- day, strict watch was exercised by pickets over the factories where strikes have been called. All forenoon reports were coming into the machinists' headquarters concerning the condi- tions It was claimed that the strikes in the sub-contractin plants remained little changed, and that new recruits were being made in the Remington plants.
 Twenty-three machinists and tool
 makers were 'pul1ed out of the Union Metallic Cartridge Go. buildings last night. Eight who came out of the plant at lunch hour, midnight, refused to return and 15 were apprehended on the way to the factories. Eight more men quit this morning at the Reming- ton Arms plant on Boston avenue. k Virtually every ma chinist and tool maker on the night sh fit at the Union Metallic Cartridge Co. is now out" said George G. Bowen, business agent of the Machinists' union in this city, today.

4 body of about 50 striking ma c11inists at the U. M. C.. plant, made it's way from Washington park east ward On Barnslm avenue at 11:45 zse4ock but it's formation was broken up by Captain John Redgate who their rights and the dntentaons of the police in the event that the men did not proceed quietly in groups not ex- ceeding a pair.
 Only two girls were observed in the picket lines and at St. Joseph s hail at noon. These wore ribbons about their hats bearing the inscrip- ton, Don't Be A Scab.'' The picket CTS all wore white ribbons in their buttonholess
 Girls working in the factory as- serted that only a handful of the girls who went on strike remained out. It is understood that a notice granting the girls an eight hour day through out the U. M. c. plants and an in crease in wages as announced yester- day is now being printed and Nwil soon be issued at that plant
 At 1 o'clock much interest was dis played by girls in the factory who congrega:ted on balconies and at win dows to- see what might happen The throngs in the street were kept ir motion by Captain Redgate and his men and no untoward incident mar sred the peace of the noon hour.
 Two guards quit work today, de c1aring that they had not been hired to shift lig iron, which task they said they had been assd gned to. This de lection was not taken as an indica- tion that the majority of guards are dissatisfied.
 At. the Remington Arms & Ammuni- ton Co. plant, seemingly in honor o1 the arrnistice and arrival of the 'fbig chiefs a milk white flag bearing the flaming inscription Remington ir scarle6 letters hoated in the breeze for the first time from the adminis- tration building
 Everything was quiet and but few pickets were observed in the vicinity of Boston avenue. Major Penheld was not accessible though said bS piekets to be within the factory. Ac- cording to a statement from the Man ufacturers' association, he was out o1 town.
 Thirty bricklayers and a cores bonding complement of hod carriers were laid off this. morning.
