MANY BRIDGEPORT CHILDREN HAVEN'T
 SEEN PARKS HERE
Investigator Finds 26 in Short Time, Who Never
 Z Y Saw the Country.

Twenty-six children have been found on one days travel about Bridgeport by Miss Akerfelt. visitor of the Charities Organization society. who have never seen the country or its flowers.
 It is said that these are only a few of a great number of children in this city who have not even visited Boards ley pr Seaside Park. Many mothers in families from abroad have not seen the beauties of Bridgeport according to members of the society.
 'T'se never seen the country and the nowers." was the pitifpl vail. of six-year-old Johnnie, on Halla1n street. when Miss Akerfelt called on his mother to see. how the family was getting along. Little Johnnie's four year-old sister Mary had had an op- eration during the winter, and Is not yet able to walk. Miss Akerfelt had fears for her convalesence in this tar- rible heat. and wanted to see what could be done to give Mary a Nstle breath of air. I've seen many sad cases in my daily round," said Miss AkerfeH, but to realize that the children had never seen the trees and nowsrs, and did not know of Boards ley. or Seaside parks was quite shock for me. LAttle Johnnie's story made me make Inquiries of other families visited, and in one mornings call l found 26 children who-nad never seen the country, and did not know what it was like. Their eyes opened in as- tonishment as told them about the fields and flowers. Then, a more pa thetfc part of it all was in. many of the cases the mothers had seen little of the country thenfselves, and in only a vague way appreciated what the children were missing"
 The Charity Organization society will be glad to hear of any one inter- osted in Johnnie and Mary. It's offices are in the Connecticut Bank building.

No Clue to Man Who
 Fired Fatal Pistol Shot

That Mary Somers came to, her death by reason of a hemorrhage con sequent upon a gunshot wound fired by a person unknown, was the report of Medical Examiner Garlick filed this morning with Coroner Phelan.3
 The dead woman was found at Sea- side park after the celebration on the evening of July. 4 and the physician who accompanied the ambulance said death was due to heart failure. The undertaken subsequently, found she had been shot.
 She came. here from Newark N. J., to visit friends at Broad street and Park place. M 'e
 In his report the medical examiner says he found no odor of burned pow der about the body and no evidence of powder marks in the clothing so the shot was evidently fired from dis tance.

struction of a line to Nichols, that this matter has been given careful at tention and is now in the hands of the board of directors. T think it is altogether probable that the board will act upon it at the next regular meeting"
 "On this same subject President Stores in another letter states: i"As you know, the matter of extension of the Bridgeport lines in the suburban territory should be very carefully con- sidered in connection with possible track extension within the city proper that may be needed for transportation to congested districts"
 That the Connecticut Co., has become fully alive to the distressing transport ation situation in Bridgeport is also indicated in a letter from President Storrs to Trustee George E.. Hill, a copy of which has been forwarded to the. Chamber of Commerce with the likelihood that ak cars will soon stop on the near-side throughout the city. Thmi etelstartpatstinf
 This letter in part states:
 'iThe great increase in vehicular traffic, accompanied by the necessary increase in the number of cars the company has had to operate through the center of the city, all in order to serve the Increased city growth, has resulted in a congestion through the streets in the center of the city that has rendered practically impossible maintenance of | car schedules throughout the entire city. All means should, be used to render relief, and l feel sure that the elimination of cer-
 tain car stops through the center will
 have a tendency to expedite all street travel. Any change in our methods of operation should be accompanied with the adoption. of ordinances and
 regulations. of some kind that will govern the movement of other ve-
 hicles through the streets, and, in so far as possible, eliminate standing vehicles along the curbs.
 T note that the transportation com
 mittee has worked out a plan for cer- tain specific stops as follows with the
 belief that the elimination of other
 stops will be a benefit to the entire community. ss ss believe we
 should adopt the suggestion made and as soon as possible accommodate our service to that. plan. believe fthat in addition to this, general
 nearside stop operation throughout
 the city could be a material benefit to ] our car schedules" .A sF

 at Oak street.
 The cars. they say. are in such con- dition that when the cars proceed at a fast rate, they sway from side to side so that the passengers are frightened. Many a woman. residents say. insists on sitting on the outside of the seat when riding in them.
 q never rode up that hill so fast in my life,'' declared Mrs Nils F. So- renson, of 210 Coleman street. who was . passenger ,~on the car. AL though suffering from severe bruises in the knees and legs and from the shock, Mrs. Sorenson this afternoon was able to give clear and dramatic account of what happened. To a Farmer reporter at her home, she said:
 "I boarded the car at Main street to ride Home. I have ridden up that hill for yearssbut I never had such a fast ride before. AS we turned from Main street up Congress street hill the motorman just seemed to put on full speed and we tore up the hill. apparently as fast as the car could go.
 "As we rounded the top of the Con gross street hill the car was swaying from side to side and I heard some of the passengers behind me remark ing that the motormap did,not slacken the speed. Most of the passengers on the car were women. There was . man on the front seat with tho mo- torman. Ass we rushed toward the curve, the car still Swaying frisht fully, it flashed through my mind that we would run off the track there and I moved over to the extreme right ready to jump. !.
 There was not time to jump It was all over so quick. The car in- stead of taking the curve ran straight ahead and smashed into the steel trol- ley pole. at the side of the street. We stopped eso abruptly that we were all thrown forward from our seats. The next secoudi we were thrown back again and then the. car jumped for ward through the iron fence and stopped with the front wheels on the church lawn. S
 T did not hear,a single cry all this time or any noise except the crash as the impact crushed the woodwork of the car and then, threw down. the fence But after second when we all found we had stopped motion on the lawn, everybody began ttot shriek and cry out"
 Edward o'Nein of Milne street, graduate of the Bridgeport High school, and widely known as an anna teur actor, was Ut Washington avenue and Pequonnock street when the car left the tracks. He {says he noticed the car coming up Congress street at what seemed to him unusually fast speed. He said the motorman ap- parently did not realize the speed at which he was traveling and when his car struck the curve at Washington avenue the motorman lost control and
