 sPoNslBLE FOR HIGH PRICE.

Washington, April 2.-Charles F. Clyne. United States district attorney at Chicago, who has been investigat- ing the cause of increases in the price of wheat, was in conference here today with Attorney General Gregory and c. c. Todd, the assistant in charge of antitrust prosecutions.
 It was said tonight the inycstisa ton has not been concluded So far no evidence has been discovered to indicate the existence of any combi- nation or corner which has arbitrarily forced up the price.
 Results of the inquiry to date have tended 10 strengthen the belief of the attorney general that the great fac tor in the rise was the unusual de- mand for wheat abroad and the spec ulation to be expected as a conse- quence.
 MT. Clyne discussed with the attor- ney general the antitrust suit against the Associated Bill Posters, the SO called trust" which comes up for trial in Chicago May 2G. He has been in New York taking testimony in the case. and reported that the evidence produced there shows that there are about $500 towns and cities in the United States where the trust" is in control

 IN BRTDCEPORT'S NEW CODE

stratford is experiencing a. phe- nomena1 building boom. Nearly 1.5O0 one, two and three-famiIy houses are now under, construction or projected to be completed before July 1.
 While large tracts of land have recently been acquired in the Ho1ISs- ter Heights and Avon Park section of Stratford the boom IS now general and is said by prominent real estate dealers of this city to be due to the present building code, which has driven realty investors to Stratfiele, Fairfield and other towns.
 William J. Nichols, one of the foremost investors and realty pro- motors in Bridgeport, who recently developed the Weatogue Golf club and the Wilcoxson properties in Stratford and sold the land upon which the present Remington Arms & Ammunition factories stand, to- day predicted that within one year Stratford will be built solid1y to the Bridgeport line. with Bridgeport get ting merely the overflow of buildings of the one and two-fami1y type.
 Steps may soon be taken by the Good Housing association of Bridge port, through whose efforts the build ing code was advocated for passage in the common council, may soon

SAFE IN PORT, CAPTAIN WON'T
 QUIT FIRE SHIP
"I'll Sail Her as Long as There's a Plank Left,''
 Says Sailing Master.

ssI can sail the Emma Southard as long as one plank remains in her hull, ,'' said Captain Daniel Davis, of the smart schooner from Patchogue now unloading brick at the city dock flor the Frank Miller Lumber com pany and water front men knowing athe history of the boat believe him. Captain Davis has survived more disasters than any ten captains who have entered the Port of Bridgeport andt his last trip from Lorillafd, N. he was cast adrfft by storm, blown across the Raritan bay and before reaching this city was swept by fire which wrecked his handsome after cabin on the, way up the Sound.
 Incidentally the schooner Southard has sunk twice within a year, once off Duck Island and the following time in Gardner's bay. Both times the cap tain and crew of three put off in the power boat swung astern and man aged to salvage the Southard which the wary captain, seemingly followed by a hoodoo, will load only on deck.
 In reciting his experiences this year Captain Davis, who halls from Mt. Sinai, Long Island, and is well known in Bridgeport said:
 ssR1y Raritan Bay experience is one of the worst I have ever had. We were tied up at Lorinard when the blow struck us arnidships parting th e lines. We were swept out in Raritan bay which is very shallow in spots Luckily we were drawing less than get out anchors when we were in the lee Of the land.
 we had hardly loaded before a black cat came on~@ board and | .t1l0a flt we were going to Fhave luck but some tramp sleeping in the hunks .Ass board. When coming up Long Island Sound we snelled smoke As we opened the companionway door a. burst of flame greeted us. formed a bucket brigade and we fought the blaze from the hold keeping it from penetrating the rear bu1kheads. Be- fore we had it out. all my cabins, charts and equipment had been burned and our deck planking was so thin that we could not walk on it We had to rep1ank on the way up but it will be a, year before T can reconstruct the cabin
 Twice I have been saved by the motor-dorys but we did not have to put off in it this time and it's g. good thing we didn't for have never seen such hollows in the water.
 ''Its funny how a vessel, when she swamps or loses 8 plank, will ooze right down beneath the water and bgob up again in spots after you have acne overheard. If you carry only a deck-load there's always enough air left to bring her up in spots I've Had to. get tugs to haul the Southard into port three times in all and I've gc to think that I can sail her as long as there's one plank left to float on''
 Damage to the Southard from fire is estimated at about $1.OO0. Repairs are being made at Bridgeport None of the cargo was jettisoned on the trip.

 GROCER'S STORE
Discriminating Burglars se- lect Choicest of Goods
 From Shelves.

Burglars whose epicurean tastes are clearly seen in the discriminating manner. they ransacked a stock Of groceries and cigars broke into the store of C. T, Carlson & Brother, Wood avenue and Somers street last night by means of key
 Carefully rumTnaging the place they took about 40 pounds of the best print butter, a large ham, some bacon, two boxes of the best cigars in the place and ended up by packing a quantity of nuts and raisins which they omit ted to take away in their hurry.
 The store was closed at 6 o'clock last night and was apparently enter ed about o'clock by someone familiar with the vicinity, for it was done under the direct glare of an arc light shinging at the corner. Detective George Fox detailed to investigate declares it one of the boldest entries that has been made recently in Bridgeport.
 Mir Carlson in commenting upon the loss today said that the burglars are of a ss->wf1o knew the differ ence in brands of cigars and other table 1uxuries for they selected noth- ing but the best, discarding anything of inferior quality The loss is esti- mated at about $50
