TWELVE ENLIST FOR CIvILlANS' TRAINING CRUISE  Bridgeport Men Readily Re. spond to Move for Naval
 Preparedness

Preparedness for naval defense of the country has found ready hold in Bridgeport where it is reported at the Civilian Naval Training Cruise offices that 12 volunteers have enlisted. The identity of the 12 men is refused to- day by both the volunteer and regu- lar enlisting offices here upon the plea that the papers have been sent to the New Haven station and copies have not been retained.
 : So successful has been the enlist, ment in Connecticut for the volunteer cruise under the United States gov- ernment auspices that the \applica- tions have been closed here by order of the government and several other candidates have been referred ts New York with the possibility that they may be registered under the volunteer naval forces of that state.
 The cruise, which. is of nearly a months duration begins Aug. 15. The civilian sailors will board the battle ship Illinois at Newport, R. I. They will rendezvous off the Atlantic coast a. flagship. the Virginia, New Jersey, Maine, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ala bama and Kearsarge, proceeding to Tangier Sound. A week will be spent there on division and target practice after which return to home ports will be made landing the young sail- ors on Sept. 12.
 Those in charge of the recruiting here were James L. McGovern, Ar thur M. Wilson, and F. Neil Benham.

OLD ELI TO AID
 0F FAMILIES OF
 ENLISTED BAND
Yale Alumni Here to Plan for Welfare of Tenth Mill
 tia Bandmen's People

To aid dependent members of the families of the Olympic band of Bridgeport, members of the Yale alumni of Fairfield county will be asked to raise fund. Capt. Hiram Bingham, member of the Yale faculty and commandant of one of the Yale batteries now at Tobyhanna, Pa., has written to a Yale alumnus here, praising the band and asking him to aid in raising the fund. The matter was today brought to the attention Uf Judge John w Banks, secretary of the Fairfield County Alumni associa- ton.
 The Olympic band, now known as the Tenth Militia Field Artillery band, is the only Connecticut band now il the service. Only a few members of the bands of the First and Second Conn. Infantry would take the Fed eral oath and in consequence the bandmen were sent home from the camp ground at Mantle. The; Olym- pic band was mustered into the ser vice after the artillery had been or dered>-to Tobyhanna and will be the only mounted militia band in New England.
 About 15 members c~ the band are now at Tobyhanna with the Yale bat teries A, B, and c of New Haven, D and F of Stamford and E. of Branford The other musicians in the band are from Stamford or other cities. More musicians are wanted to make un the full quota of the band.
 In his letter Capt. Bingham urges that members of the Yale alumni here and in the county at once begin to raise the fund for the dependents of the bandmen. At the. time the bandmen enlisted many of them were under the impression that they would receive $50 per month bonus besides the regular army pay of SPA per month. An extract from Capt Bing- hams letter reads as follows: Everyone realizes the irn- portance of band to a military organization and the enthusiasm
 which good music brings to the
 unfortunate soldiers. We have
 enlisted small band in Bridge~
 port. The pay is small and many
 of them have families dependent
 upon them for suppoft. Our re-
 cruiting officer found it necessary
 to tell them that we would do ! (Continued on Page z.)

The driver whose name was not learn ed, is new man employed by Cleary brothers of Holroyd avenue, carting for Bowling & Bottomley. He backed his horses too close to the edge and the cart went over.
 The driver was thrown clear but the pole of the cart was broken and one horse pinned down by the cart. The other was held by the harness and could not be extricated until the fire men hitched a line to the pole and pulled the cart up. Neither horse was hurt. The damage to the cart was about $5.

TROLLEY 60. HEADS WIN
 FIRST ROUND

The directors who are alleged to have wrecked the Danbury & Bethel Street Railway Co. won a preliminary victory today when Judge Gager of the superior court handed down de- cision in which he found that. the directors should not be required to furnish special bail in the action brought against them by John H. Henshaw, trustee, of New York, for $450,000.
 Attorney Jacob B. Klein, represent ing Henshaw, filed the motion asking the court to order special bail for the defendants and the latter asked the court to allow them to plead without furnishing ball. Judge Gager found in favor of the directors on both mo- tions.
 The action was brought several months ago and was protest against the purchase of the Bridgeport & Dan- bury. line by the Danbury & Bethel Co. It was alleged that in January, 1910, Leonard T. Saunders of New London and s. w. c. Jones of Green wich bought a charter for the Bridge port & Danbury line. They issued notes for $S20,b00 and with the pro- ceeds bought DRnbury & Bethel stock until they secured control of the com -pany.
 It is claimed that the directors then voted to buy the Bridgeport & Dan- bury line for $302,22O.44. Henshaw says this was an excessive price as $6O,O00 was fair valuation on the trolley property. He declares the di- rectors have depleted, wasted and in- fured the assets of the Danbury & Bethel road until there is a deficit in j'the treasury, whereas before the de- fendants assumed control the road paid per cent dividends.
 The directors sued by Henshaw are John Sanders of Danbury, s. w. c. Jones of Greenwich, Leonard T. Saunders of New London, A. w. Sperry of New Haven Judge Gager's decis- don will not interfere with the prose- oution of the original suit

London, July 26-The capture of Pozieres in the Somme river region re- ported today by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. the British commander in-chief in France, gives the British troops domination of the highest point overlooking the plateau on which the German line extended to the eastward.
 Some of the most stubborn fighting in recent British offensive, which now has lasted nearly month has occur red in the strec.s Vf this village, which the GermnDs have fortified un

 Every hill had to be fought for and taken separately and the British. after obtaining possession of a considerable portion of the village; were subjected to severe counter attacks, which they withstood successfully for several days and then in turn again seized the in-

Justice Greenbaum called the test a failure, but afterward announced that he would give Kennel another oppor- tunity to prove his proficiency. This test was to have been held today or tomorrow. The detective had ex- plained that he was nervous and ex- cited when the first test was made

Paralysis Spread By
 Contact, Dr. Flexner
 Informs New Workers

New York, July 26-The most inn portant contribution to information about infantile paralysis made public here today, was a statement by pr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller In- stitute that the disease is spread pri- marily by personal contact of child with child.
 This fact developed at a conference of local health authorities pr. Flex- ner said that the work of the Rocke- feller institute committee tended to prove what we had believed, that the disease Is spread by personal contact. For instance, baby may be sick on trolley car and child next to it may contract the disease"

dead.
 Considerable doubt is expressed as to whether Englexbe died naturally or from electric shock. If from the latter cause the only manner in which he could have come in contact with the current was from the electric lighting system, which has a drop socket beside the seat on which En- glexbe was sitting.
 No burns were on his hands or any other part of the body and this leads to the>belief that heart trouble might have caused death.
 At thetime of the accident, the en- zine was not running and the voltage and amperage in the drop socket was very low. However, the belief is expressed that he grasped the sock. ct and in some manner touched the engine so that a complete circuit was formed and in that manner the cleo tricity passed through his body.
 The body was taken to the city morgue and his employers have beer notified.

 Bedding, July 26.-With the town 50 far free from tnfantile paralysis 2 conference was held on Sunday even- inesat. the home of F1rst Se3ectman Osborn to discuss the adoption pf pre- cautdonary measures against the inc troductton of the malady. Besides MT. Osborn and Selectman SualivaR there were present Dr. Smith, health oflcer, Dr. Demfng of the west aide, Town Clerk Sanford, Rev.. MT. Cunningham. J. w. Teets. D.. 8. Sanford and H. 8. Barnes.
 It was the unanimous decision that a strict quarantine should be estab- lished against localities known to have cases of the disease. These in cl1de New York, Brooklyn, Bridge port, Danbury and Newtown, and the regulation is to be enforced against all children of 16 and under. pr. Smith had previously issued an order against the attendance of children at any social gathering in the town.
 At the boundary line of the town on all the roads affording entrance to 1t are to be placed warning notices for the exclusion of children, the signs being of large size and having a black lettering on a yellow Background. Twenty-Five of these signs will be re- Quired. At the three railroad stations in the town. Georgetown, West Red- ding and Topstone. the station agents will act as deputies of the health off, cer and detain all arriving juvenile passengers whose destination is Red ding until Dr. Smith has an opportu- ntty to examine the applicant for en- try. Certificates from health officers of the banned localities will not be &C., cepted as passports because such cer- tiftcates have in come instances proven an inadequate safeguard.

Bridgeport Has No New Case of Poliomyelitis In Last 24 x Hours Easton Child to Be Harbored In Hillside Home to Protect City.

!, Bridgeport's fight against the ',fnfantile, paralysis germ will have cost it $2,5OO up to Aug. 1, as far as can be judged from an appraisal of expenses, but it is expected that when the health department receives its bills for the period from July 12 to Aug. 1, the total will be about $5,OW.
 The city is now spending in the neighborhood of $40 a day extra for salaries. The $z.5o0 estimate rep resents mostly salaries because bills aggregating only about $10o have been received. The estimate refers only to special expenses incurred in the epidemic fight. It is exclusive of Dr., Sophian's retainer.
 pr. Abraham Sophian announced today that Mayor Wilson authorized the health department to go ahead in Ats plans for pabteurization of the en- tire milk supply of the city, the estab- ]lishment Of . bActeriological laIbora- tory here and the employment of ski1led perlons to conduct the bac.
