KING HAS THEM BELIEVING HE'LL
 NAME GOVERNOR
With Wilson as Stalking Horse, He Awaits Conven-
 tion Ready to Do Business

That Mayor Wilson has a better chance of getting the Republican nom ination for governor than any of the other candidates was the belief of the BridGeport delegates here today be- fore they left for the Republican state convention at New Haven. That every one of the S2 delegates from Fairfield county will be for Wilson was de- clared assured Some of them were instructed for him when elected. It is known that John T. King can move the Wilson delegates any way he chooses and in political circles here today there was much speculation as to the game he is playing, for al- though the delegates profess to be- lieve that Mayor Wilson is his choice first, last and always, others familiar with the political game think the mayor is being used as a stalking horse until John T. can dictate the , terms he wants to make with the other leaders.
 Every preparation has been made. 1 however, for a vigorous campaign for Wilson's nomination. City Clerk Rob- inson, who has been handling the cam paign, has sounded out every delegate and he knows exactly where each one stands That at present Wilson can command more votes than either Hol- comb, Healy or Blakeslee is certain. | Wilson's campaign headquarters were opened in a suite of rooms on the fourth floor of the Hotel Taft today. The Hyperion theatre, where the con- vention will be opened tonight, is just around the corner. On the same floor 1 in the hotel, the Bridgeport delegation has rooms and John T. King has en- gagged a suite of rooms across the hall as well as a private room on the floor below.
 l Mayor Wilson and City Clerk Rob- inson lunched together this noon at the Algonquin club and the chance of Wilson's homination was the one topic of conversation in the dining room. What added zest to the chatter was the report that one well known mem-
 Der of the club offered to wager $1OO to $50 that Wilson would get the nomina- tion.
 | Soon after lunch the mayor and his
 party started for New Haven. They had two big cars. The mayor, city clerk. William E. Seeley and Frederic A. Bartlett rode in one. Fire Com missioner John A. Leonard and Pc. lice Commissioner George c. Peet and
 William A. Lewis were in another A.
 J. Northey and Hazelton Chandler also had an automobile. Arthur F. Connor
 Charles Blackman and Joseph A Courtade accompanied the party. They
 will remain over night at the Taft.
 After the council meeting tonight
 automobiles will take Alderman Mac
 Fayden, James P. Kelly and Alderman John Y Caldwell and others to New
 Haven. Kelly and Caldwell are dele.
 gates with vote in the convention
 None of the Bridgeport delegates has given proxies, as yet.

E. WASHINGTON AVENUE TRACKS
 FIGHT IN COURT
tcontinued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) in keeping with the testimony which was presented it and with the facts in the case.'
 The appeal will be heard by a judge of the superior court during this term. Notice, of the appeal was filed on the city clerk today. The com pany recently petitioned the common council for permission to remove it's rails and wires in East Washington avenue from Main street to Noble av- enue. It held the route is no longer used and cannot be operated with profit even is the East Washington avenue bridge is mad safe.
 The common council refused the permission. The city officials held that the line will be needed to relieve traffic when the new bridge is built and could be used to advantage if operated now. They also claimed the Connecticut Co.,, is seeking to escape paying share of the cost of the new bridge which it would be compelled to if it used the bridge.
 The Connecticut Co. then appealed to the Utilities board and the latter upheld the common council. Now the company is appealing to the courts

IN MESOPOTAMIA

Sir William Willcocks has some in teresting stories to tell of the two and half years he spent in Mesopotamia.
 When he started for Bagdad the Khedive advised him never to fall out with the Germans on any point as they will wreck your work" and never mention India, as the Turks dread the entrance of Indians into the Euphrates Delta. Life in a Turk ish prison is no light matter, for the authorities provide TO food, and if a prisoners relatives 6o not look after him he dies of hunger, and the gov ernment grudgingly pays for his bur ial. Sir Williams Arab postman was robbed of $125 and was kept starv- ing in prison< his release only being obtained by paying the money which was all the authorities wanted.
 When Sir William went fer a trip down the Euphrates he found there were five bridges with boats, all but two of them simply obstructions across the river to exact toll for open ing them, though there was nothing to open. On the Tigris there were two more of these sham bridges.

Commission Form Leaguers Await
 Action of Mayor

Some time this week members of the Commission Form of Government league will be called together to take action on the draft of the comrnis- sion government charter which will be voted on at a special election Novsm- Der 25. Dwight D. Graves, secretary of the league, has been endeavoring to call the executive committee together for a meeting but because a number of the members are out of the city. he has met with no success. He hopes for better luck thss week, however. The league will await the action of the a6miyistration in printing and distrib- uting copies of the proposed charter before it makes any move.
 When the members are called to- gether, volunteers will be asked for in each district to see that the voters re- ceive the copies of the charter and they also will be asked to make every effort to get out the vote at the spe- cial election.
 At noon today only one bid had been received for printing the copies for distribution.

FISH AS FOOD.

Not only ones health, but ones thoughts and personality are depen- dent upon ones diet, according to Prof. Ladislovsky, a Russian scien- tist, whose theory has attracted con- [ siderable attention abroad. The learn ed Russian has gone so far as Q state that through diet alone a man may change the shape of his face, improve his thoughts, and develop an attrac- tive personality, or its opposite. Meat, says this authority, fertilizes the fiercer parts of ones nature, and the man who subsists entirely on beef | is jugnacious. An aquiline visage and an uncomfortable temper with cold nature belong to beef eaters. The constant consumer of pork, he states exhibits bestial traits. He who sub- sists entirely on grains and fruits is of pleasing appearance, even but col orless disposition, with an affection ate nature.
 | Prof. Ladislovsky finds that a con- stant diet of fish would produce the
 best >all-round individual. Two meals | a day, one of grains and fruits and one of fish, would, he considers. be the ideal menu for the production of a super-race.
 | "It is unfortunate" he writes ''that
 fish diet has not before occupied the
 attention of our dieticians, for were | it better understood ther is no doubt
 but that it would be speedily adopted. A survey of the fieh-eating nations of the world shows tat those who d. pend upon products of the sea for their sustenance have an adaptable
 disposition. They bold, but not overbold, that is foolhardy; they are brave, just, upright, followers of the
 ancient Greek maxim Everything in
 moderation
 | Owing to the fact that the primi- tive races which are at present the
 great consumers of sea food, as na-
 tions, have not yet reached that men, tai plane where food selection and
 variation is known to them, except insofar as a mere animal desire is
 concerned, it is impossible to state ex- cept in generalities, what manner of physical form and feature a we'll se-
 lected diet of sea foods would pro- duce.
 Tt is well known that a constant
 and unvariated diet of the same kind
 of meat or of vegetables produces not |. perfection, but its opposite, and this is equally true, although to a much less extent, believe, of fish, A well
 balanced diet of sea foods would of course produce a different result. It | is very unfortunate that no one has
 tried the interesting experiment of living, not on one variety of fish. but
 on @ menu of different kinds of sea foods for long period"

THE THING THAT
 CORRUPTED ROME

The Nation puts its finger on the spot which hurts in contemporary life; the family life is fast disappear ing or is gone. The automobile and cinametograph, devices for fast and exhilarating entertainment. devices which have disrupted family gather ings at evening. among both rich and poor, have quite abolished the old reading circles which in recent gener- ations proved so great a bond of union and education in the home. The germ of speed, when once in the blood, has proved almost ineradica- ble. It is the very bacillus which cor- rupted the Romans-The Dial.
