Tug Almost Strikes
Derelict in Sound

A submerged and partly floating
derelict. was reported to the authori-
ties last night by Capt. Frank Larabee,
commander of the H. J. Lewis Oyster
Co.'s boat Virginia, which narrowly
escaped collision yesterday.
Its presence probably WILDE mark
ed by the government today or the
wrecks blown UP with dynamite as it
presents serious menace to naviga-
ton in the Sound
Capt. Larabee reports that the dere-
list is probably that OF one of the
barges that sank Thursday afternoon
off Penfield reef light
The obstruction to navigation is re-
ported directly in the, channel taken
by Sound steamers, about six miles off
the Penfield light. The Virginia
cruising up the Sound suddenly found
itself confronted by the wreck which
rose to the surface and then disap-
peared to bob up again as the current
whired it about.
An attempt will be made this morn
ing to salvage the sand barges strand
ed at Fairfield beach, where exciting
scenes were enacted yesterday in an
effort to protect the barges from van
dals. So valuable is, the wood for
heating purposes that wholesale at
tempts were. made to take possession
of the remains and carry them away

officials will stand trial before the JUS

Tom Sharkey Is Far
From Broke Although
He Told Court He Was

Tom Sharkey, the old-time pugilist.
will pass his forty-third milestone to-
morrow. Last June, Sharkey was
adjudged bankrupt in the Federal
court in San Francisco. and he gave
his liabilities as $299,556, and his as
sets a note for $20.5O. On the face
Of it that looked pretty bad for the
odd sailor, but those who have search
ed say. that they couldn't find any
wolf tracks about the door of Toms
place in San Francisco.
After retiring from the ring Shar-
key opened life-saving establishment
in the vicinity of Tammany Hall,
Gotham. Tom was popularity sup
posed to be making mint of money,
and holding on to every cent he got,
until few years ago he was con-
victed of running a disorderly joint
and sent to the Tombs for thirty days.
After his release from durance he
pulled up stakes and went to San
Francisco, where he got his pug1lls-
tic start while tar in Uncle Sans
navy. The bankruptcy proceedings,
it seems, were instituted to enable
Tom to avoid paying rent for place
he had leased in New York.

OTHER CITIES TO
AID COMMISSION
FORM ADVOCATES
Judge Robert E. Carey Ad-
dresses Large Audience
at The Casino.

Judge Robert E. Carey of Jersey
City, a noted speaker on commission
form OF government, entertained a
large audience at the Casino last night
by anecdotes and personal experiences
with the old Republican regime in
his city and the new methods which
have superseded the old governmental
form in New Jersey.
Mr.. Carey said that every city and
hamlet in New Jersey, with the ezcep-
ton of Newark, has adopted commits
sion government, and it is now being
considered in Newark.
A report circul ted in Bridgeport
that Judge Carey's reasons for advo-
eating commission government were
because Of his ability as q commits
sion to favor a friend with a rich CON
tract, the divided profits Of which en-
abled him to retire from active work,
incensed him greatly and he made a
public denial Of the rumor stating
enphatically that he never even held
position of commissioner or had
made one cent out Of commission gov
eminent He declared that he even
paid his own railroad fare to Bridge
port and spoke without remunera-
ton.
That commission form of govern
ment advocates should not become
discouraged if they lost at this cleo
ton but should fight with the spirit
of America as their guide was the
admiration of Judge Carey, who re-
called that in the American Revolu-
ton where a change of government
was desired, our forefathers worked
for eight years and finally-sh their
blood for what they conceived to be
right. He predicted that Bridgeport
is not the only city in Connecticut
where the germ of commission gov
eminent has found a lodging but that.
there are advocates in Waterbury.
New Haven, Hartford and other cities
who will help in the legislature to
make the path an easier one.
He described the necessity for po-.
litical lawyers who lived on persons
and corporations because the present
charter is so complex as to make 1t
impossible for the average person to
know how to get redress from their
public servants, He asserted that
there are not three lawyers in Bridge
port who could pass an examination
today on our municipal laws as they
stand.
He compared the simplicity of mu-
nicipal conduct under commission
form of government cities with the
conduct. of other cities and said that
it was because a man had job" and
knew how to keep it.
He declared that in this city nobody
got office unless he was "selecter," and
told his hearers not to fool them
selves into the belief that their can
didates and officials were elected.
i At the conclusion Of Judge Carey's
speech, William T. Hincks, who had
introduced him, invoked the plea that
all commission form of government
advocates vote early and aid in pro-.
curing a early and large vote.

FOOTBALL YEAR IS
RE. CHED TODAY

New Haven, Nov. 25-The climax
of the eastern football season will be
reached here today with the meeting
Of the elevens. of Harvard and Yale
universities in the Yale Bowl, the
largest football arena in the country.
Although other series have continued
for longer uninterrupted stretches, the
struggle of the Blue and Crimson
teams is the gridiron classic of the
year, attracting attendance and atten-
ton throughout the nation,
The contest of the afternoon, the
thirty-seventh since 1875, is no excep-
ton to the rule and the interest in
the game is as great as at any time
since the teams of the two institutions
began the series forty-odd years ago.
Every seat of the $4,000 available in
the huge bowl has been sold for sew
eral weeks and applications for more
than 10000 additional returned un-
filled. The demand has been so keen
that very few coupons have found
their way into the hands of specula-
tors. Those for sale from these
sources are being quoted at fabulous
prices, yet finding ready purchasers.
It is expected that close TO $4,000
sr ators will witness the contest but
the paid admissions will fall below
these figures giving gross gate re-
ceipts over $4,000. AS result the
attendance and receipts will exceed
those Of the 1914 game, which for
mally opened the bowl. The demand
for tickets at that time forced the Yale
football liberties to erect temper
ary wooden stands along the top of
the parapet and the same tiers of
seats have been replaced again this
season The combined applications
of the Yale and Harvard alumni and
undergraduates alone totalled more
than 1900 not all Of which were
granted while those of the general
public could not be considered.
This intense interest in the game Is
striking, in view Of the fact that the
contest will not decide the Eastern
football championship as has been the
case in some former years. Of the
two elevens, Harvard has the better
record in games won and also in con-
siste.t Improvement AID is a logical
favorite in the wagering. The famous
fighting spirit of the Blue, however,
prevents Crimson adherents from Of
fering anything bute short odds, not
withstanding the fact that in the last
four games Harvard has won from
Yale by scores Of 900, 1916, $50, and
41-0.
The Cambridge university has built
I'D a great football coaching system
Under the direction of Percy Haugh-
ton. as the triumphs of recent years
over both Princeton and Yale prove
The Ellis, after several seasons of in
different success have also turned to
a similar system with Tad Jones at
the helm, but it is toe early to pre-
diet with accuracy the final result of
