THERE'S CROWDING
 DOWN. BELOW;FIRE
 BOARDS PREPARING
Faithful of the C.. o. P. Must Have Good Jobs Demo
 crats Have To Go

Has it ever occurred to you as sig nificant that most of the fremen haled before the fire board in the last few weeks are Democrats ?'' asked a prominent Democrat to-day.
 ''There may be nothing to it as the saying goes, but it seems to me that if I were a member of the fire depart ment and a, Democrat I would watch my step. You know the Republicans planned to place eight new men in the department and the politicians promised jobs to nearly 80. Now some of them have got to make good. The board of apportionment would not allow for any new men, but there will have to be places for some of those who have been promised or there will be merry war when primary time rolls around and still merrier war when election day comes. I may be wrong in the deduction but I think the Republicans are out to get some of the Democrats in order to make places for the men they promised.
 .Look at the way they went at Chief Mooney last night because he didn't notify the department when new boxes were to be tried out and because he didn't notify them about apparatus going wrong on still alarms. Those things have been hap pening right along and the chief only followed the custom that has prevail ed in the department for years. How ever any one with half an eye can see that the administration is after the chief. They even brought his friend Capt. Daley down to headQuar- ters last night to tell what he knew about companies failing to answer when new boxes were being tried. Of course, if Chief Mooney is removed that means move up all around and one more man to be added, but if sew eraI privates who are Democrats get the axe, it means jobs for that many Republicans,

British Navy Has

Edinburgh. Match 2AAThe Brit 1ah navy has developed a new type q4 zntnAt which according to the Scotsman, marks new era in this branch Of warfare. The German and French floating mines have not pre- seu1ed such a very difficult problem because 1t has been comparatively eesy to sweep them up, owing to their suspension tackle. The new Eritish- mine has no floats and no tackle It can be elected from g. tor pedo tube or incontinentzy thrown overheard If desired, it can be set Co rest on the seq. floor until the min- ute chosen by those placing it, when 4t will come ups not to the surface, but to the proper depth at which to meet the rushing bows Of Q ships

{. Price" and Quality" Reign in Popular New
 Clothing Emporium

The P. & o. shop, at s86 Main street, today presented a. novel and and strong, argument against the call aInIty howIers. Though new and hardly launched upon the business seas of Bridgeport. from the quantity ed into the emporium of men's cloth ing. it would appear that it's cruise on the oceans of trade is unlimited.
 sP. 6 e. stands for Price and Quaazty,'' and from the display it would appear that it is no misnoner. for but two prices are in evidence, as repeatedly stated in their advertise- n1ants On one side of the store is the cheaper variety and on the other slightly higher price. yet style and quality are such as may be found adversely priced in many of the stores where the ignorance of the custom CT is traded upon.
 The P. & e" shop is located in the quarters formerly occupied iby the and interior still display the novelty and brightness which was sought in the original improvements, though many changes have greatly added to its beauty. F9enished oak ward robes. where each individual suit is hung- are utilized along the walls. These have been surmounted with 
 tistdc globes, while further illumina- tion is furnished by pendent conceal ed lights diffused through Etruscan shades
 In the center of the store addition al racks have been installed partly for the purpose of space economy and for screens from the outside curious gaze of the throngs who view the windows that seek to know more of the interior Display stands. of novel and unique design aid the GUS l toner in selection and fitting. while permanent viewing mirrors are hand fly located.
 The policy of the .sP. & O., shop as outlined by the manager, M. B. Esrdanger, of the big syndicate which operates the chain of these stores | throughout the country is disclosed in many notices that adorn the shelves. Among a few Of these may be men toned: sThe Customer is Always Rignt-Absolute Satisfaction Guaran- teed,'' Expert TaiIors, Not Toilers, 5 we Are Always the Earliest to. Show the Latest" Just Two Prices Two
 Just PTdces''
 A corps of tailors in the rear of 1 the building is kept for the purpose of quick and accurate refitting
 The keynote of the success of this new concern is said to lie not only in the many and varied patterns and styles of mems suits and overcoats shown within, but also from the fact
 that individuality is sought. The firm behind the big stock speciahzes and therefore underselIs and sells better than those who cater to many lines of varied sorts.

WIVES ARE WANTED FOR
THE MINERS OF ALASKA

Seattle, Wash, Nov 5.-There is
no such matrimonial market in the
country as there is to-day in Alaska.
Publicity is being given the situa-
ton by an army officers wife from
Fort Liscum, who. writing in a
Western paper. decries the fact that
so many of the best men of the
country are living in bachelorhood
in the territory.
II never saw such an active mat
rimonial market" writes the author,
''as there is in Alaska. And | can
not say too positively that the Alas
ka men are the equal OF any in the
world They have to be fine men
physically and morally to overcome
the hardships of the new and wild
country
The new railroad camp built by
the Government at Anchorage is
made up of young men True, they
are of all nationalities, but there are
hundreds of fine, strong. American
young fellows who will decide to
make Alaska their future home.
The busy. mining city and capital
of the territory, Juneau. possesses
more single men than married and
there salso the same scarcity of
young women. Wrangell, Skagway,
Seward and Valdez are. other coast
towns whose population consists
largely OF the boarding class of
young fellows.

and thorough Investigation Of the oil
business Of the United States is be-

'"rhe information called for by the
resolutions" said the announcement,
'necessitates careful and complete

the production, transportation, refin-
ing and marketing of crude petrole-
um and its refined products in this
country. The work of investigation

plants have been received from
California. Georgia, Idaho, Missouri

The recent complaints alleging
price discrimination between local
tiles in the sale of gasoline have led
the commission to send out agents
to gather first hand information on
this subject The result of such in
quiries will guide the commission in
determining if the alleged conditions
are prevalent in the United States at
