UTILITIES BOARD SUSTAINS CONN. co
 IN DUCT DISPUTE
Won't Compel Trolley Com pany to Put In Extra
 Underground Wiring.
Especial to The Farmerl

Hartford, Aug. 12-The Connecticut
 Utilities Commission yesterday sus- tained the appeal of the Connecticut Co. from the order of the common council of Bridgeport that its feed wires be placed in underground ducts from the new Stratford avenue bridge to .Seaview avenue. In connection with the building of the new Strat- ford avenue bridge the company had previously arranged to place the feed wires and connection in underground ducts from Pembroke street to and on the east approach of the proposed bridge. Plans were submitted to the common council of Bridgeport but the council refused to. accept them and sent the plans back with the order that the wires be laid underground to a point at Seaview and Stratford avenues. The company then appeal ed to the public utilities commission.
 At a public hearing held last week city officials urged that the last or der be sustained as the placing of the wires underground was in line with Connecticut Co. said that the ex- pense in connection with carrying out the original order and it's share of the expense of the new Stratford avenue bridge would be more than $200,OO0. If the duct were extended under ground as the last order, called for it would mean an additional expense of $20.000 or more and to require the company to meet this added expense was unfair. 4

Noted Stage Folk Aid Southport Fire
 Department Fund

Southport came in close contact with the stage and stage life last night. Actors and actresses of magni- tude in the entertainment world stalk ed among them in paint and powder right in their midst. Beyond a few casual "Oh, look! There's an actress!" exclamations upon the part of the callow youth, Southport as a whole took the novelty without agitation.
 But when more than two dozen of Broadway's famous stars stepped upon the stage and rendered their best specialties without stint of time, SouthpoEters rose in body to ap- plaud them.
 The event was a testimonial concert given in behalf of the Southport Fire department. It was arranged under the auspices of Mr--and Mrs. Mark A. Luescher, summer residents in the colony and was staged in Assembly hall to an audience of nearly 600 per- sons, each of whom paid $1 admission and bought program.
 To see any one of the celebrities who aided in the affair was alone worth the price of admission but the actors and actresses even went further in their aid. They decorated and arranged the hall for the occasion, took tickets and sold programs. Among those who were in evidence all the time were Tom McNaughton, of Pom Pom, who acted as announcer ad lib.; Edward J. Howe, musical director and com poser. and Leo Stark, a noted stage director; Gus Edwards of Revue fame. and Miss Minerva Coverdale of The Passing Show"
 As a tribute to their efforts the Southport Fire edpartment recognized those who assisted by presenting them with membership badges of the de- pertinent cast in silver.
 The program included MT. Lou Anger. late star with Safety First"; Miss Sophie Bernard, co-star in .HThe Red Widow; Miss Coverdale, MT. Henry Marshal. Lou Clayton and Sam White of the ziegfie1d Frolic; Gus Edwards. assisted by Cute Cuddles and Miss Betty Pierce, who appeared to the musical direction of MT. Louis Silvers; Leo Edwards, song writer: Miss Dixie Gerard, prima donna of the Hippodrome; Miss Audrey Maple, of Katinka"; John T. Murray of the Winter Garden show; Toto, the Hip podrome clown; Yvette, the world famed violinist and star of Maid in America" the Gliding Omears, skeets Gallagher and Irene Martin, and MT. Charles McNaughton, recently seen at the Poli therae in Bridgeport; Jack son Hines and Miss Rhoda Nichols.
