FRIENDS SAVE MAN
 FROM CASTING SELF l IN FRONT OF TRAIN

Michael Schmidt, bartender until two weeks ago for his brother -in-la,w, Andrew Grace, saloon-keeper at Hal let street and Crescent avenue was saved from suicide as he attempted to jump in front of the Springfield ex- press yesterday afternoon. That four men were required to keep him from his purpose became known il the city court this morning where he answered charge of having commit ted a. breach of the peace.
 John Petros 8 resident near the sa loon, testified that Schmidt, after drinking a quantity of strong whis- key had the agility of a squirrel and climbed the viaduct wall Just before the express came along at a rate Of nearly 80 miles an hour. Knowing his purpose, Petro and three others climbed to the tracks and grabbed him as the express approached. He fought them violently and all were in danger of their lives as the big train, drawn by it's super-heater engine passed them.
 Schmidt told the court that he he been out of work for several weeks, but could not recall any motive for ending his life A continuance of the case was granted until Friday that friends might devise some means of taking care of him in his present highly nervous condition.

WILL GIVE SCHOOL
 BOARD MONEY FOR
 LARGE DEFICIENCIES
Transfers Will Be Made From Scrubbing and 9th
 CT Unused Accounts.

At 8 meeting of the board of ap- portionInent called for 4. SC tomorrow afternoon, the $1,116.36 deficiency in janitors' salaries and $772.14 defi- ciency in teachers salaries will be voted the board of education. City Attorney w H. Comley, Jr., has sub mitted am opinion to the board say ing that on the resolution of any member of the board the money may be voted. Where it is to come from the city attorney does not venture to say. The board of education has ex- ceeded it's appropriations on both teachers and janitors' salaries for the last year.
 The school board asked the board of apportfonment to make up. these deficits and 1t was supposed the mat ter had been attended to at the meet ing of the board of apportionrnent about a month ago but it now de velops that no such action was taken.
 Members of the board. however, say there is enough money left over the scrubbing and other accounts that may be transferred to make up these deficits. There are deficits in othef departments for which transfers will also be asked and Clerk Alfred Eagen of the board is now preparing a list to present on Thursday afternoon.

U, M. 6. COMPANY HAS MORE ORDERS
 THAN IT GAN FILL


 The Allies are seeking more arnmu- milton in Bridgeport than the hur- riedly equipped factories of the U. M. e. and their accessory plants are able to turn out. Agents for the French government in this city yesterday and today sought to place an order for nearly $50, GOO worth of ammunition of
 a special quality powder. When the
 order was offered it was said by those in high authority that it could not be
 touched before September 1, as the
 plant was booked solid with orders to that time.
 It is intimated by those in close toueh~with the New York situation of the Allies demands for powder and ammunition that the call is so press ing as to warrant special factories be- ing built It is likely that large plants for small ammunition may be rushed to completion by private capital ana with the arrival of the projected pow der plant in this city, Bridgeport may be chosen as an available place.
