The tin can controversy, a trivial alter

interest, has not been settled-at least
the cans containing the fire extinguish-
ing powder were still in the corridors
Monday evening in spite of the Legis-
lative order directing the superintendent
of buildings to remove them. One Leg
islative wag suggests that the superin-
tendent thinks the 80 day clause applies
to the order just as it does to bills
passed and signed by the Governor and
therefore he will not remove the cans
from the corridors until about the first
of July. Perhaps the superintendent is
waiting for orders from the Governor,
some observers say, and in case the
Governor tells him to leave the cans
just where they are probably no one will

SUNDAY CONCERT AT LORDSHlP FOR
 PAVILION OPENING
Wheeler & Wilson Band Will Play At stratford
 Shore Resort.

This announcement will no doubt be hailed with delight by thousands, of Bridgeport people who have long felt the need of a bathing beach close to home where the facilities and conven- fences offered were on 9 par with the metropolitan resorts.
 Bridgeport and vicinity is rich in water front and beach property but indeed quite poor in beaches that are devoted to the public amusement or dedicated to public recreation. There is not a beach resort of any descrip- tion within the Boundaries of the city, yet we have miles of water front and over one hundred thousand people who must go elsewhere for bathing and other kindred shore amusements, Hence the opening prediction.
 The Lordship company which a month ago opened an independent trolley line running from Ho11ister and Stratford avenues to the Sound shore at Lordshfp. Manor. and followed this with the inauguration of series of dances every Thursday and Saturday. evenings, under the direction of Prof. Guilty, now announces the opening of their new pavilion.
 This handsome building which incor- porates over a hundred bath houses and ice cream and refershment parloEs a lunch and tea room and other refine ments, was built to endure for years to come. It is not the kind of struc- tural work usually found at a shore resort It is erected tight on the beach front and is approached from the terminal of the trolley line by a fine cement walk, which also sur rounds the building on three sides. The second floor is devoted to an ob- servation balcony which is a most slightly spot as the country for miles around may be viewed from it, while the breezes from the Sound will be most refreshing to spectators.
 Tomorrow marks the opening of this new resort and the management have engaged the full Wheeler & Wilson band under the leadership of Louis Chermak to render select concert commencing at 2 D. m. The public are invited to come and see the beach, the pavilion. and all the sights and to hear the music-there is no charge. The program follows:

The race for the road to Constan.

The Bulgarians, who are trying
to join the Teuton armies of inva-

road to Turkey for men and mu-
nitions, are now within a few
miles of reaching their Teuton
allies.
The French expedition which
landed at Saloniki and struck in
land toward Nish is reported to-
day to have made good on It's tre-
mendous effort and to have reach
ed the Serbian army in the south
and given it needed reinforce
ments.
Italy is hammering hard on the
Austrian front which is said in the
military dispatches to be shat
tered but still unbroken. .ss
The Serbians have succeeded Id
the Bulgarian advance,
though it is still moving slowly

SUGAR INDUSTRY
NOW OPTIMISTIC
ON TARIFF Plan
]. P. Cooke Expects Congress
Win Accept Suggestion to
Retain Existing Duties

Congress win approve by early leg
isIEtIon the recommendation Of Sec
rotary Of tie Treasury McAdoo for
the retention OF the existing sugar
duties. In the belief of J. L Cooke,
rreGiden and manager of Alexander
& Baldwin, who returned today from
business and vacation trip to the
mainland.
From brief talk by Mr.. Cooke this
morning it may be gathered that he is
definitely optimistic as to the future
Of the sugar producing industry as
concerned with the tariff. He points
out that undoubtedly the secretary's
recommendations, backed by the adj
ministration forces. will be accepted
by Congress.
AS look at the situation" said
Mr.. Cooke at his Office, shortly after
his return, "it resolves itself into this
question Who will oppose Mr. Nc
Adoo's Fecommendations?' And do
not believe either Republicans Or
Democrats will do so.
SECRETARY Ufe fetile treasury eell
fanny mas not made these recOmmen-
QoblOnD " W1tuOAJ Tic CO1oCut ou0 op-
proyRl of the president and the adj
ministratien forces may be regarded
as standing firmly by the course sug-
gested. A large number OF Democrats
were already in favor of the retention
of the tariff and after this formal
announcement others will express
their own approval"
Asked whether or not there appears
to be any tendency among Republic
cans of influence to try to secure a
larger measure of protection on sugar
than would be the case If the exist
ing duties were retained, Mr.. Cooke
said that he knows of no situation
among the Republicans which will
complicate matters.
Il hope nothing develops of the sort
nor do believe it will, and in fact,
rather look for Congress to be unani-
nous on retaining the duty," he said.
As to the exact legislation that will
be perfected, he says it is impossible
to forecast. Whether the retention of
