OVERFLOW OF FAMILIES IN
 BRIDGEPORT IS INCREASING
 POPULATION OF NEW HAVEN
Statistics Here Show Elm City, Derby sratford and Fairfield Gain-Lack Housing Facilities the Cause-Presiden of
 Big Realty Concern Says Growth Is Not Substantial One.

Bridgeport is still suffering from overcrowded conditions. lack of rents. scarcity of lodgings and no civic
 movement has been started that will tend to relieve conditions, according to reports from the largest realty concerns, phi1anthropic organizations and other sources of accurate infor- nation
 The worst feature yet uncovered by investig igetions into housing condi- gtions in Bridgeport is that thousands their families are being diverted to residences in Fairfield, Stratford and even New Haven and Derby. Bank officials in this city are frank in their statem ents that they have no funds with which to care for adequate building ventures and owing to the lack of knowledge as to how long war. conditions in Europe will con- tinue, large. realty development cor porations have in few instances begun operations here.
 ID.F. wheeler. president N of the Bridgeport Land & Title Go. in speak ing of the situation today said:
 Bridgeport will have a fictitious population While it has been an nounced that the new industries are 5bringing to this city many thousands of residents, and are doing SO, yet
 
 in Bridgeport is erroneous. There are ctica1ly no rents available for them and in many instances they are not even able to pr ocure lodgings.
 ''As soon as a mechanic finds that his employment here is to be steady he will send for his family. The first thing gsthey find is that no accomm oda- tions may be found here They are going to Stratford and Fairfield where there has been more develop ment for the accommodation of the working classes during the last year than in this city.
 NO corporations outside of the Remington Arms & Ammunition Go. have projected building on any scale and while there has been a desire upon the part of individuals to erect houses, there has been no< money in the banks for this purpose. Arrange ments have but recently been made whereby loans for building purposes may be made, and we may have more building projected in the near future, but any building that may be done now will not care for the num- Der of families who would prefer to live in Bridgeport than in the neigh boring, towns"
 The overgrowth of Bridgeport.s pop ula ton has caused New Haven to gain materially in population according to

the negotiations for territorial conces- sions in Macedonia and at the conduct of Greece in this connection.
 None of the representatives here of the allies ,cherisfes longer the hope that Bulgaria can be prevented from joining with Germany Austria and Turkey. In government circles the statement was made today that all the military measures which have been taken are of a preventive nature, designed solely to guard against cir cun1stances which might threaten Bull garia's s position in the present situa- ton. which is developing with unfore- seen ana extraordinary rapidity. These measures consist in turning over the railroads to the military author ities and suspending ordinary traffic.

the festivities offered her girl friends.
 And the secret might have been kept for goodness knows how long, if it weren't for the horrid laws of the state relative to the return of marriage licenses. There f1oated back to the town clerks the other day, a certi- fled copy of a marriage license issued in Waterbury, on June 2, to Frank J. Clancy and Helen A. Wallace.
 Certifcation by the officiating cler- gynan showed they were married the same day, by Rev. E. T. Walsh, of the Sacred Heart church. The license was filed away in the archives of the town clerks office. with nobody the wiser. and the festivities in honor of the prospective bride'' continued.
 Alderman Clancy is in business at Railroad and Iranistan avenue and represents the Fourth district in the common council. His age is given as 29. Mrs. Clancy keeping up the playful deception on their friends, was at work to-day as usual at Vincent Bros, where she is a bookkeeper. She is 23 years of age.

SIX KILLED, HUNDRED INJURED
 WHEN STREET CAVES IN AFTER
 DYNAMITE BLAST IN SUBWAY
WED IN SECRET, BRIDE
 OF ALDERMAN CLANCY
 GUEST AT SHOWERS"

/ Miss Mary Mccullough of 98 Milne street, had planned for to-morrow evening, a, shower in honor-as, she thought-of Miss Helen A. WalIace, who-as she and others also thought was soon to be married to Alderman Frank J. Clancy.
 Miss McCuIIough's plans may be somewhat upset to-day when she leaFns that Miss Wallace and Alder man Clancy were secretly married in Waterbury on June 2.
 For nearly four months, the mar rfage has been kept deep dark se- cret. During that time the bride has been guest at countless festivities, in her honor. An engagement ring sparkIed on the proper finger as she received felicitations of girl friends at these many showers. Nobody out side of a very select few knew that she wore a wedding ring when prying eyes were not around.
 Plans for the ''forthcoming'' we'd ding were discussed at these gayeties. The honor guest, who naturally was interested in such discussions, didn't offer a, word to spoil the pleasure that

some authorities who show that ma chinists forced to commute while at work here Nsoon find employment in the Winchester Arms plant there and make that city their home.
 Likewise Derby and Ansonia have gained materially in population by the turn-aWay here. Recently regular tits ney lines have been established be- tween the Arms plant here and Derby, Walnut beach, Norwa1k, and Fairfield. It is estimated that nearly 5000 work CTS in the big plants here are carried away from this city by these means and the trolley company has placed special cars in service for Stratford and Fairfield
 A serious situation is now being pre- sented at Walnut beach, where many families established themselves during along the beaches are fitted only for summer residence, having no fireplaces or heating apparatus. These tenants are searching vainly for rents in Bridgeport, which are not available.
 Mr. Wheeler in speaking of the ten- dency of the landlords in this city to meet the situation said: 1T do not be- Heve that the owners of houses are taking unfair advantage of tenants by raising the rates. We have not found such a tendency to be general In. some cases there is an equalization pro- cess in evidence, but such methods are but normal where in times past the prices of rents had to be dropped be- low the normal. Landlords, as a whole, have acted most magnanimous- ly in the present tense situation
 The average rents sought by the ma jority of families now uhhoused are between $15 and $25 per month. There are none on the lists of prominent real estate dealers and there has been none for the last 60 days, according to real estate agencies.
 Throughout the city, merchants re- port increased sales of goods that dem ohstrate that the number of families is rapidly increasing in the city. The most evidence along these lines is giv- enj by prominent piano dealers who aver business is most brisk. While families will remove small furniture from one city to another it is seldom that the piano is brought and one of the first purchases after permanent establishment in the home is a piano, where the family is of average size.
 Reports from lodging houses hotels men and women's protective associa- tions show that there is much over crowding and that some quick and radical means for caring for the num- bers yet to come during the autumn months should be taken by civic or public spirited citizens.

And didn't the judge threaten to throw the town prosecutor. Ivan L. Morehouse. out of his private office? Cerainly all this happened, l., and a lot imore-take it from Strat- ford voters who reten the story this way:
 Town Prosecutor .Morehouse was stepping around at the polls yesfer- day afternoon when a messenger cam e ga11oping up to tell him that Judge Peek was stintimidating voters and telling them how to mark their bal 1ots''
 The town prosecutor. allowed such proceedings wouldn't do, so he irn- mediately got hold of Moderator Frank E. B1akemap, who is also dep- uty judge of the town court To- gether they sought out Judge Peck. They found him in his private office in the town hal1. Indignant at the alleged open V1OlaT1On right of the 1aw-and right before his eyes, al most-the town prosecutor opened up on the judge.

 Judge Peck isn't afraid of thunder In fact, he is something of thunder CT himself. So he thundered back:
 rOh; go chase yourself" or words to that general effect.
 Now, to tell town prosecutor to "chase himself is gross violation of professional ethics and is said to jeopardize one's personal freedom At least, that's MT. Morehouse's view of it.
 .'Thfa is serious. I mean it,'' he told Judge Peck. You'll he in court in the morning and I'll make out a warrant for you right now, and we'll see who's boss around here and who can go around and break laws and get away with it. and we'll see.''
 .Get out of here,'' the judge came back. "Get out. or I'll throw you out Cet!" and he stepped menacing1y in the direction of his visitors.
 They got.
 The judge then took down a law book and told his visitors that he was within his rights and cited the statute , to prove 1t. Then he sat hack and awaited the coming of the officer ~itFl the warrant for his arrest. He's still waiting, he said today
 It is said that Judge Peck and Prosecutor Morehouse don't speak kindly of each other as they pass to- day.

GORDON WOULD
 BAR STRIKERS AT EMERGENCY His Views, As Expressed To The Farmer, Conflict With Superior. HE DOESN'T BELIEVE MEN SHOULD BE IDLE Says Free Treatment at Hos pital May Tend to Pro
 long Strikes.

SpencerR. Gordon, the superinten- dent of the charities department, gave to sTBe Farmer to-day an interview. in which he says that the emergency hos pitaI surgeons will treat strikers once
 just once. that's all
 Father Mathew Judge. of the Char itiesy board. Tn an interview given the Farmer. says that strikers will be treated a second time-yes, even a thirty-second tine-if the conditions warrant
 I'll tell you in a few words what is the attitude of the emergency hospf tai towards strikers: Its just the same as towards anybody .else,'' said Father Judge.
 MT. Gordon believes that to give strikers free medical treatment might be to encourage them to strike 'Twculd be a false economical adjust ment, says our charities expert. What he says does not jibe with the views of his superior. Here is what MT. Gordon said. when a reporter for The Farmer Investigated the complaint of a striker that he, had been refused treatment at the emergency hospital because he was a striker:
 All emergent wants and distress Naffecting mothers and children and also men will be handled. For the Department of Public Charities to S1N05 Tel1eI except III cases or Q1Ie emergency to families of strikers or strikers themselves because the re- lief, which would amount to a pension would put the city in a position of enabling people to strike indefinitely and would be false economic adjust ment.'
 When strikers apply for treat nent at the emergency hospital they will receive it fin a case of dire erner- gency but on second applicat ton. for treatment they will be refused. I have so ordered all emergency -phy- sicians to live up to this order"
 gstA man who goes out on a strike has no excuse for being out of work or penniIess as he can readily pro- cure a position in other factories who are in dire need of help at the present time.
 Mir. Gordon added, in connection with the story of his activities in the interest of Df. Griffin, this state men.:
 'I have not been working, in the interests of pr. Griffin to procure the appointment of night surgeon. simply placed his record and diplo- mas before the Charities Board. It is my wish that emergency pf1ysi- cia-ns give a guars ntee that they will hold their position for 8 period of three years Dr. Griffin promised me if he procured the appointment he would remain for at least three years. The doctors now employed in the emergency hospital have the advantage Of leaving at any moment. I do not approve of that.''

MEXICAN CONSUL GENERAL
 APPEALS TO AMERICANS
Hanna Asks Aid for Relief of 2,OOO Starving Families
 in Republic.

Washington. Jan 3.--The Ameri- can Red Cross was today appealed to by Consul General Hanna at Mon terey, Mex, for aid in relieving up wards of 2,0O0 families who are sui fering from hunger and cold in thai section of the revolution-torn re- public.
 Consul General Hanna's message was sent to the Red Cross through the state departm ent In It he sayt the food situation is worse than in Europe, and in addition to those now needing help several thousand prob ably will be suffering before the end of the month.
 1T now have five hundred families on my list in Monterey which arc being furnished corn, beans and rics twice a week." says MT. Hanna. There are a thousand more families who want tickets to the relief station There probably are more than 2,00t families in Monterey who need helT now, and the prospects are that sew eral thousand will be very hungry be- fore January is past.
 "The Mexican authorities are inter ested in doing what they can, but af- ter four years of war. during which the fields have been neglected the crops are very short and the local supply is almost exhaused
 1T need for Monterey and nearby towns two cars of corn each week We need a carload of beans and rice each week. We wish every town fr the cotton states would buy bale ol cotton blankets and send them sc Mexico, for these people have very little clothing It is awfully cold. The food situation is evidently worse here than in Europe, where big harvesfs were gathered last fall"
