SALE OF JOY LINE TO
 RAILROAD KEPT DARK,
 EX-PRESlDENT ADMITS
BIG SHOW HOME
 WITH REPORT OF PROSPEROUS TRIP
Adverse Weather Fails to Daunt Enthusiasm of the
 Circus Patrons.

ssThe Greatest Show on Earth" is home after a most prosperous season under adverse weather conditions. At noon today in the big enclosure of the winter quarters few camels, two sacred zebu cows and an odd as- sortment of smaller quadrupeds from foreign climes, airn1essIy grazed about the grass grown sidiEgs or ruminated slowly as they watched with hmpid eyes the passing of passenger trains on the viaduct above.
 At 1:3O an entirely different aspect presented itself as the big gates swung open and the incoming workers from the first section which had pulled into Railroad avenue walked about in their corduroy trousers and western som . brerors.
 It was if an army was encamping. The hoarse shouts of the baggage wagon drivers could be heard above the shrin footing of the switchers as they pulled and backed the big. sec tions coming at the rate of one every hour until the four were here Un- der the hoofs of tramping feet the green of the grass vanished to the dun colo-ed hue of the western prairies.
 The big canvas covered wagons bearing the signs, Wild Ani1nals-Do Not Touch,'' presented an appearance far different from that on their exit from this city in March, for the bright paint had gone and mud begrimed pictures were disclosed beneath the canvas that was of the same dull brown.
 The incoming elephants. trumpeted with joy as they behe1d their winter habitat and were restrained with diff hcuIty from stampeding as they. sought with almost human inte11i- A.. -+I,., -<@R have held for 30 years
 The animals were restive in their cages awaiting transfer to the pens that will house them during the long and cold winter months.
 Under the direction of the show and department heads a quick return to the quarters is expected, for it is said ing year are contemplated for the winter.
 The show came in with four sec~ tiong, the first of which left the Harlem river freight yards at 10 o'clock this morning, and contained what is known as -tstin stuff''-tents, benches, poles and the great mass of paraphernalia that is used as bag gage. The second section bringing the performers cars and more equip ment arrived about one hour later in Bridgeport. The third and part of the fourth sections brought the menager1e and the fourth more animals and the excess horses
 Al theS show grounds were many friends of the three hundred employees that came to Bridgeport to aid in the quartering. Though treasurer Charles R. Hutchinson, with his official staff including Carl Hathaway, arrived on a special train that arrived early this morning direct from Wilmington, Del, General Manager Samuel Mo

AGENTS LACKING NE EWS OF VESSEL REPORTED AFlRE

New York, Nov. 5.-No word con cerning the British steamer Rio Lages. reported on fire 300. miles south of Halifax, N S., had been received here today by the steame mer's local agents Simpson, Spencer & Young The agents expressed the belief that the fire was not serious, as the Rio Lages apparently did not request the Frederik VIII, which sighted the dis tressed steamer, to stand by, but mere ly to notify Halifax by radio.
 The Rio Lages sailed from New York for Queenstown~ on Oct. 31, with a cargo of approximately 5000 tons of sugar. The local agents denied to- day that the steamer carried any mu- nitions, saying the only cargo was sugar.
 The Frederik VIII. which left New York for Copenhagen, Nov. 2, reported sighting a steamer flying the signal, fsR. S. W. v.,' and receiving a radio from the freighter that she was on fire. The signals correspond to those of the Rio Lages.
 The local agents ~1>d they would wait for a detailed report from the captain of the Rio Lages before. ex- pressing an opinion as to the probable cause of the fire aboard their steamer. The report of the fire, however, re- vived discussion in shipping circles as to several previous fires aboard sugar ships.

Transfer of Property to "New Haven" Company Withheld From Public for Two Years, Frank M. Dunbaugh Says at Trial.

Dun hauxh. former president of the Joy Steamship company, took the witness stand again today at the trial or II former directors of the New York' New Haven & Hartford Railroad com Danv under the Sherman law. to con- Iinue his story, begun yesterday, or the alleged steps taken by the New Haven road to crush the compeuuon of the Joy line and eventually gam control

 MT Meilen surprised me-. cont1n- ned the witness, .tbY asking me to manage the line. I asked him what would be expected to do- He said that was to recognize no one but h1mself and name such rules &s $ chose
 If there is any business you a,I,d tn,nd the Joy Steamship company should have. he said, Ego after it.
 t.Someone don't know whether IL was MT. MelIen, said they did not think anything should be said about this sale-''

DRINKING CLUBS DAYS NUMBERED
 IN BRIDGEPORT
Legitimate Liquor Interests Join Pastors to Blot
 Them Out.
ACORN CLUB WREATH
 READY FOR WILSON
But Wilson Turns Tables on Them to Avenge Political
 Treachery.

1 The day of tl1e drinking club isJ tc be short in the land. Unless Mayor l Clifford B. Wilson changes the view attributed to him, all of the ~cIup5 or ganized purely for drinking and gam bling purposes will be denied a. li- l cense, and will be closed. Some of these organizations have been doing much damage among the 1 young men of Bridgeport by selling l all day Sunday. Many pitiful examples of injury to young men have been whispered about
 The drinking clubs have been frown- ed upon by the licensed saloon keep CTS, who have felt that their rights were ignored, when private persons, by merely calling themselves clubs, were enabled to sell after c1osin g hours Saturday, all day Sunday, and after hours, during other days of the week.
 The climax was reached in city hall, it is said, when members of the Bridgeport Pastors association filed a rem monstrance against 3 such drinking clubs.
 Among the bo1dest of the drinking clubs has been the Oxford club, TAO Maple street, and the Acorn club, 123 Kossuth street.
 The latter organization, according to current political gossip, was sched- u1ed for certain decapitation. All of the clubs have run with the consent of the authorities, presumably be- cause they were useful in carrying primaries and on election day.
 But in the election just over many frequenters of the Oxford club, and most of the frequenters of the Acorn club made strenuous efforts to effect aIo of q ma 7a1 11zpT
 The story gained .aeurr rency that the Acorn club was so sEsee of the election of Walker some oxS its members con tributed for the purchase of a wreath Of irnmorteIless to be sent 4o Mayor Wilson, whose political demise was expected. It bore the inscription, ''Req1i escat in Pace"
 But Walker was not elected and Wilson was. so that the wreath was never sent.
 The administration is credited with the purpose of sending 8 wreath of fimmortelles to the Acorn club bearing the inscription. sfDied, -- 1915 by the hand of political reXenge,% for an act of political treachery."
 The clubs complained against are:
 Theatrical Comedy club. 9s8 Main street.
 Young Emmet Football club, Pon building.

What nation has ever prepared for war on the theory that it was prepars ing for aggression? It is only fair to assume that the European rulers who are involved in the present war thought that they were contributing toward the maintenance of peace Whene they weres making elaborate prepara- tions for defense. It is a false phiIos- ophy and, being false, it inevitably leads into difficulties. The spirit that ver-and whoever carries a revolver except for defense-leads him not only to use it on slight provocation but to use language which provokes trouble.
 Speak softly but carry a big stick is one of the delusive methods em-- ployed by those who put their faith in force. There are two answers to it-l first the man who speaks softly has not the disposition to carry a club and if a man with a soft voice is per suaded to carry a club his voice changes as soon as he learns to rely on the club.
 'If there is any truth in our re- Hgion, nation must win respect by an individual not carrying arms but by an upright. honorable course that invites confidence and insures good will. This nation has won it's posi- tton in the world without resorting to the habit of toting a pistol or carrying a club. Why reverse our policy at this time? The President hiy4sef admits that there is no reason fef a change. He says:
 The country is not threatened from any quarter. She stands in friendly relations with all the world. Her resources and her seIf-respect and capacity to care for her own citizens and rights are we'll known And to make the statement more emphatic, he adds, There is no fear among us.'
 If we're not threatened by any na- ton, if our relations with all nations are friendly, of everybody knows that necessary, and if there is no fear among US, why is this time chosen to revoIutionize' our national theories and to exchange our policy for the policy of Europe? Why abandon the hope that we have so long entertained of setting an example to Europe? Why encourage the nations of Europe in their fatal folly by initiating them Why impose upon the western hen1is- phere a policy so disastrous; May we not expect all Latin-America to b0 moved to preparation if we enter up on a new era of preparation? And will not such policy make conflicts btween these republics possible?
 TT hope that the President will noSu be deceived by the atmosphere Of the. Manhattan club. That is the one . place in the United States where tho mammon-wo orshipping portion of the Democratic party meets to exchange mp1inents-there is no group furth- CT removed from the sentiment of tho 4 masses whether you measure thatf sentiment by economical social or rel 1igious standards
