The crowds in attendance at today's

hibits are all in and are particularly
attractive. Large additions were made
to the displays today.

BLAME WRECK
 UPON ENGINEER
 FRANK WHITNEY
Public Utilities Commission Re- ports Says Man at Throttle Failed to Observe Signal Set At Caution Before Devon Ac- cident,

After ans investigation of the New Haven railroad wreck at Devon sev- eraE weeks ago when an express train was automatically deraiIed in time to prevent it p1unging over an open draw bridge into the Housatopic river, c. c. Elwel, chief engineer of the pub lie utilities commission has filed report blaming Frank Whitney, engi- neer of the train, for the accident.
 According, to. the report. the dis tance signal just west of Stratford, which governs eastbound- trains on track No. 4, was set at "caution,' and it is alleged Whitney either didn't see it or disregarded it.
 Whitney was at the throttle of the engine on the Boston express, March 22, travelling at a swift speed toward the Housatonic river. The Sdrawbridge had just opened to allow. the passage of a tug. While the heavy train, con sisting almost entirely of Pullman cars plunged toward the mouth of the draw, the train was derailed automat- ica1Iy by the breaking of rail. No body but the fireman who jumped, was injured, and the many wealthy passengers who crowded the train, all escaped without being hurt.
 Whitney has good record. He has been in the service of the road for more than 30 years and despite the fact that he has been an engineer most of that time. he has never been disciplined for the slightest accident.
 The only suggestion made by the commission in the report is that the guard rail. which is attached to the derai1ing switch, be heightened 90 feet, making total of 15O feet. Con- cerning Whitney, the report recom- mended that the roads discipline in such cases be carried out.
 The report to the commission was made yesterday after Investigation that has been carried on since the wreck. l

POLT'S

Polis program for the last half of the week is one of the most inter esting and attractive bills seen in a vaudeville house here in a long while. In addition to a big vaudeville pro gram, there is added interest in the appearance in person of Barney Mo Phee, the local boy who has risked his neck a. score of times to furnish thrills for the movies.
 McPhee gives an interesting lecture in conjunction with the presentation of his great multiple reel photoplay, Was He a Coward 2'' .McPhee tells how it feels to hop off bridges and cliffs and such. and how arrests for attempted suicide are rewards for his efforts The picture Was He a. Coward is an interesting drama and introduces a big cast supporting Mc- Phee, included in which is Miss Mar garet Vale, a niece of President Will son.
 The vaudeville bill includes many big features, prominent among which are William Weston and company. presenting ~Attorneys.'' This is a real surprise, in that what appears to be very dignified lawyers office is suddenly converted into a conserva- tory. Music is brought from tables, desks, cabinets. files and everything
 imaginable, In addition to being a real novelty. the offering is one of real musical merit Pieriot Ferber and company won instant favor with a. happy comedy
 skit, "A Modern Wife" that was in- teresting in it's unique theme. and most happily presented by a, capable cast. Walter Weems, billed as f'the 1 Al Jolson of vaudeville proved worthy of that title. In "'blackface,'' p
 he was an immediate hit with his nonsense and he had laugh that was contagious,
 l Case and Alma, in a clever song
 and dance skit, were very good, and Gillettfs Monks proved interesting in an exposition of S1Tnian intelligence l and antics. The Menards, offering a 1 sensational acrobatic oddity, com
 pIeted the bill in a happy manner.

Together as mother and son they carried all before them in the great drama. The plot of the play is one of the strongest and most intense imaginable. It deals with rne story Of a mothers sacrifice, that her son may receive a proper education and be a success in the world. The fate of the mother is a tragic one. and the third act Is unquestionably the strong est of any ever seen on the Lyric stage.
 This being the first time the play has been seen in Bridgeport it is ex- pected that the theatregoers will turn derful production The play af- lords unpara1led opportunities for magnificent staging.
 The Arnold Daily part will afford Arthur Stanford his first great chance to show his real ability to the people of Bridgeport Miss Irene Oshier will play opposite MT. Stanford, in the role of his sweetheart; Miss Vio- let Barney will be seen as the mother; Frances Ryrne will be seen in a prominent part, and Edward Darney, John T. Dwyer, Bernard Thornton, G9rwr-> Beverly West. and Miss Emma De- Weale will also be in the cast.
