MOHAWK Y. G.. MAY
 GET NEW QUARTERS. ON SHORE PROPERTY
Considering Plan to Move of New Ravens Roads
 Docking Possession.

Directors of the Mohawk Yacht club, which has occupied dock prop erty of the New Haven road on Strat- ford avenue near the present bridge structure, since 1903. are considering a plan to build a handsome edif1ce to house the club, which has grown by leaps and bounds
 Rumcrs that the club would be compelled to move from it's present quarters were denied. by Treasurer Charles Seward today but it was learned from authoritative sources that mem bers desire to have a small but Thoroughly equipped building near the present anchorage.
 It is believed that a lease may be effected on shore property adjoining the Bridgeport Poster Advertising Co.'S building and the East Side of the SteepIechase Island pier, upon which a handsome structure, includ- ing meeting rooms, billiard rooms and other necessary adjuncts may be erected. The old building would be retained as an additional storage place for small boats and yacht equipment

ClTY'S FAILURE TO PROVIDE

Prosecuting Attorney Delaney Declares New Faces Are Tn City Court Because of Conditions Here-Great

Recommending upon the influx of cases crowding the city court since the recent boom period in Bridgeport, Alexander Delaney. prosecutor of the Eourt, yesterday criticized the lack of civic interest in this city which per nlitted hundreds of desirable deni- zens with money fin their possession to- be forced into undesirable com panionshfp through want ts of proper housing facilities.

Delaney. stThe opportunity for profit is not only present but is de- rnanding attention of all good citi- zens. would be willing to head any such movements with a subscription of S1s000 towards stock of such 3. com pany, as the returns under present coalitions of houses constructed well within the laws would be big and large. and desirablee citizenship would be gained ''

 ''On the other hand, through being compelled to live in lodgings where the character and morality of other classes are such as tend to bring them in contact with the saloons, many of whom are anfested while un- der the influence of liquor.
 With a company headed by reput- able citizens of this city, who should at least show moral if not financial support, these mechanics and high grade artisans could be made perrna- nent adjuncts to the community, who would reflect credit upon Bridgeport and would themselves combine in financing projects for rapid real es- tate development in this city.

Import Statistics
 of Sweden Tacitly
 Show German Aid

Stockholm, Oct. 21-Figures show ing the exact increase in Swedish im- ports and exports since the beginning g of the war and uphoIding the English contention that Sweden has acted as a valuable channel for the delivery of materials to Germany, have been obtained. According to these sta atis- tics, now available for the first time Sweden's cotton imports during the first six months of 1915 were over nine times as large~as her cotton inn ports during the corresponding g months of the previous year. From January to June, 1914, Sweden inn ported 12,957,69O kiIos of cotton. During the equivalent period this year, the import was risen to 109,- 926,031 ki1os.
 Although cotton shows the most startling increase. the importation of other articles has risen considerably. have been imported in the first six months of 1915, against 16,0O0,0OO for the same part of the previous year. Cocoa beans have increased from 800,OOO to 1,60O,O0O during the same speriod of time. Lubricating and mineral oils have also shown in- crease.
 While Sweden exported only s36,- 689 ki1os of copper during the six months before the war began, she ex- ported during the next six months 2,852, 568 kilos. The figures given do not tell what portion of this export has gone to Germany and what por- tion elsewhere, but it is generally agreed that it has been sent almost exclusively to Germany.
