Bridgeport now has the largest sma- chinists' local union in the country, George J. Bowen, business agent of Local No. 30, announced today. With in three, or four months, the city will have both the largest and the second largest.
 Local No. 30 has passed the hitherto largest lodge, which is in San Fran cisco, by the initiation of 4,0O0 mem bers. The coast organization hasn't yet reached 5000. &
 Local 584,, composed of men who work in the Remington Arms & Am munition Co.,, has 800 members, and because of the campaign that is now being conducted, it is expected to over- haul a big lodge in Toledo and the San Francisco one before spring. So large is the membership growing that the unnon has made arrangements for the use of Moose hall for its meetings.
 Organization of third lodge was completed last night, 1when the Swed- ish machinists associated to conduct their own business. Three hundred have joined and Business Agent Bowen sas he expects 1000 members before next summer. John Rask was elected temporary president
 The combined machinists' lodges have membership of more than 5000.

WIFE FOR,
 GIVING QUARTER
 TO SEE MOVIES
Riotous Expenditures of His
 Spouse Lead Getyina /, to Use Force

Gustave Getyina, after admitting that he beat his wife, seemed to pre- fer going to jail to going back to her and he naively informed Judge Bart lett in the city court this morning, that they had better have a police man at his side if he returned to his home.
 The domestic troubles ef this couple date back about a week, when his wife, Ida, a rather pretty woman, spent 25 cents to see moving pictures. Getyina told her shec ould not go as the rent had to be paid, and she should not squander her money in such a riotous manner. l.
 Ignoring his orders she received a beating, and told the court her hus- band stated to her in intention of beating her, until she left him. After hearing both sides of the story, Judge Bartlett found that blame attached to both, but he imposed on Getyina a sentence of 60 days in jail, which was suspended.
 Getyina told the court he prefer red to go to jail rather than re- turn to the roof of his wife and Judge Bartletts efforts to reconcile the couple seemed about to be a failure. Getyina finally, however, reluctantly left with his spouset for home.

RfKER RESOLVED
 FROM BLAME IN AUTO FATALITY
Coroner Phelan Holds Young Motorist Isn't Culpable,
 After Hearing

Andrew L. Rfker, Jr., IS year son Of Andrew L. Riker, vice-president of the Locomobile Co.,, and member of the Naval Advisory board. this morn ing was exonerated of blame for the death of Frank Schremmer, who was struck by Riker's automobile, Sept. 23. The coroner said he could find no evil dence of criminal negligence on the part of the young motorist.
 The finding stated that Schremmer started to cross at Fairfield avenue and BrewSter street as Riker's car was approaching. The driver sounded the horn and Schremmer turned but, thinking he could beat the car, hur- ried on his way across the street. He was struck by the mudguard and fatally injured. Riker swore he re- duced speed to IS miles an hour as soon as he saw Schremmer
 The coroner declared he didn't think the accident could have been averted, even if the speed had been less. Although young Riker had no drivers license. this has no legal bear ing on the question of his negligence since the courts have held that the question of a license has no bearing on the responsibility for an acci- dent.
 In the city court Riker was held in bonds of $1,00O for the criminal su- perfor court

cold Freezes Sweep Ebbets Field and Spectators, Muf- fed In Overcoats and Newspapers, W Watch Brook lyns Fighting Desperately Against Red Sox.
Ground Rules Are Necessary
 Jack Coombs, Hero of Former Championship Struggles, Picked By Rob inson to Stop March of Carrigan's Men.

Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Oct. 1O.-To turn the tide that has been carrying them away from the baseball championship, the Brooklyn Nationals, staggering from two defeats at the hands of the Boston Americans, make e back-to- -the-wall fight today in their first contest on the home field "A defeat for Brook. lyn today would leave their lchampionship hopes hanging by hair. As it now stands, Brooklyn must win four out of the remeining five contests to win the worlds series while the d'Sox need but two more victories to place them on the championship pinnacle.
 :, Keen for the taste of the big baseball event, hundreds came out early to the park and sat for hours shivering in the Arc tic wind that swept the playing field. Spores of spectators muffled themselves in sweat 'ers and newspapers to keep out the biting edge of the North wind. The sun shone clear and bright, but it was a poor day for a ball game. The players themselves hugged the warm rooms of the clubhouse until tthe last moment.
 The temporary bleachers be- hind the left and center fields were first to fill up while the boxholders, secure in their. seats, waited until near game time before coming to the park. Double sets of temporary boxes had been erected in front of the left and right field grandstands.
 It was announced that O'Day would umpire behind the plate while Umpire Connolly would make the base decisions. with Umpire Dineen in rightNand Umpire Quigley in left field. There was long conference of umpires and managers on ground rules and this delay held up the start of the game.

WILSON DENOTES ENTIRE DAY TO
 U-BOAT QUESTION:

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 10.-Presir dent Wilson gave his entire attention today to consideration of facts collects, ed by the navy department regardingy German submarine attacks on mer ! chantmen off the American coast, While evidence was not given out, there was intimation that the President has received informatpn necessitatingi drastic action by tke American gov- ernment.
 The President had on his program today conferences with Secretary Lan-' sing and Jules Jusserand, French am- bassador to the United States. MT. Lansing will not come until late this afternon and will take dinner with the President and remain at Shadow Lawn, over night. Ambassador Jessurand has a personal letter from Presidnt Poincare of France to MT. Wilson on4 Polish relief, but it was expected that the new German submarine activities would be discussed.
 It was not believed that the Ameri- can government would take any im-l mediate action on developments to, date in the renewal of German subj marine activities but consideration was given to the question of whether attacks on merchantmen so near the American coast do not constitute & virtual blockade of American ports.
 James w. Gerard, ambassador to- Germany, who arrived in New Yorlet today from Germany. is not expected to sec President Wilson until next week. It was stated authoritatfvely here that Mr. Gerard does not come on any peace mission, and that his trip has no connection with submarinel warfare but that he is simply on a va- / cation.
 President Wilson plans to leave, Shadow Lawn tomorrow afternoon for Indianapolis, where he will speak twice on Thursday afternoon. The fact that he had shown no indication of cancelling the Indianapolis engage ment was taken as a sign that so far he does not consider the submarine critical
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-10

The description of the present sftua- ton by the London press as "a pa- cific blockade" is not accepted by off, cials here. It is pointed out that a, pacific blockade" is a form of action taken during time of peace by one power to coerce another power into some desired action without an actual declaration of war.
 It was regarded as possible that Secretary Lansing might see Ambas- sador Gerard, who reached New York this motning from Germany, before the ambassador proceeds to report to the President.
 Neverthless, it was autboritatively stated here that Secretary Lansing had not, made his trip at this time or gone by way of New York because of the ambassadors arrival He expectsi to meet Ambassador Gerard at the, summer White House, however, and at, the conference with the President new light of vital importance will bel thrown on the internal situation in [, Germany by MT. Gerard.

Gerard Home, Is Silent On
 Peace Runlof

New York, Oct. 10-James w.. Gerard, American ambassador to Ger many, upon his arrival here today de- clined either to affirm or deny pub lished reports that he was returning to the United States on a peace mis- sion on behalf of the Emperor of. Ger many. f
 MT. Gerard's attention was called to a story which appeared, thfs morning in the New York World to the effect that his errand was to inform the ad- ministration that a presumption of sub marine activity Is being considered by Germany in a manner which might threaten Germau-AInerican relations. MT. Gerard, after quickly glancing through this story, said:
 "You don't see me quoted anywhere in 1t, do your"
 To questions put to the ambassador by reporters who met him at quaran- tine. he replied:
 Tt Is useless to question me, boys. cannot say word"
 "The length of my stay here Is not vet determined neither have made any plans." he added. '1 expect to go to Washington but when do not know"
 The Scandinavien-Ameri liner Frederik VIII, on which MI. Gerard arrived, was met at Quarantine by police boat. on which was Mayor Mitchers reception committee headed by Oscar s. Straus. Mrs. Ger ard, who accompanied the aubassa- dor, was presented with a large bou- quet of American Beauty roses as she came aboard the police boat.
 Mrs. Gerard has been credited with taking a leading part in war relief in Germany. Asked as to this work, she any personal credit. saying that all American women in Germany have done magnificent work" MT. Gerard said in response to a question that there are about 5000 Americans in Germany at this time, of whom about TOO are in Berlin.
