Ford, who transferred 1t to Thomas Morrissey, who on December again transferred his interests to Moon and Weed.
 It is said that Weed, who under the firm of Nickerson & Weed conducts a House moving business. and Moon. a large contractor, were walking over the property. which had beeh in dis use for many years. Fences were down, buildings falling in and gen. eral decrepitude was apparent on all sides. Amidst this wreck, visions of change and a revival of its former glory sprung to life in the minds of the two builders.
 To think was to act and buildings were moved and repaired, fences grew up and the fair was opened in 1914 in small way. Last year it was more successful, each owner contributing toward bringing features to the grounds. A trotting meet was held as final event last year.
 e During the winter the partners sought accountings from each other and division of opinion sprang up over what is believed to be- lack of bookkeeping facilities. fI
 The split went so far as to result in threats of injunctions against the opening day, which is being conducted bv Moon. Partial purchase from Weed was accomplished by Moon with final payments today at the ultimate hour before temporary injunctions were to be sought in the superior court

LANDMARK WILL BE SACRIFICED TO
 BUSINESS BLOCK
Bronson Hawley ( Home stead, Over Century Old,
 Gives Way to Progress.

A S2O0,0O0 business block with stores, apartments and other features above is planned for the northwest corner of Main and Franklin street to replace the present Bronson Hawley homestead, built more than 100 years ago and the childhood playground of the late F. Burr Hawley, Miss Susan Hawley Davis, the noted singer, and other members of the Hawley family we'll known in this city.
 When completed, plans vii! be sub mitted to Charles D. Davis, president of the Davis & Hawley Go. The prop erty is owned by Mrs. Davis.
 This projected building. by reason of its size and the handsome material that is expected'to enter into its con- strnction. will give added impetus to the building boom that has recently changed the appearance of Main street above Congress.
 While there are intimations that the upper floors will be of such size. num- Der and arrangement that housing may be had for one of the large fra ternal organizations. now known to be looking for added accommodations, the rumor is not authenticated today.
 Bronson Hawley. who is said to have erected the original house, was a noted figure in the early development \of Bridgeport The house still stands, though many additions and improve ments have been made to the prop crtv, which almost eradicate the orig inal lines. In its destruction. though for good purpose, Bridgeport will lose another noted landmark. N

LACK MAY HOLD UP
 BRIDGE
Engineers Say Possibility of Beginning Grand Street and East Washington Ave nue Jobs is Remote and Other May Be Delayed Needed Material Can't Be Supplied.

Bridge construction in this city is being materially hampered by the shortage of the steel supply through out the United States. Delays are not only likely in the completion of the Stratford avenue bridge but the possi- bility of the Grand street and Wash ington avenue bridge. Contractors be- ginning even foundation work soon is questioned in engineering circles to- day.
 It became known today that the west pier for the support of the bas- .cule span of the Stratford avenue bridge has been temporarily aban- doned by the contracting firm under their engineers order, while the east icofferdam has been sunk to its depth and has progressed more rapidly. How long the work will be delayed on the west pier is not definitely known though William Russell, in charge of the Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins con- tract here, asserted that he hoped to continue next week.
 It appears that in building the huge wooden cofferdam that was sunk in the form of a caisson, discrepancies in the figures of engineers caused too light a material to be used on the su- perstructure which is to support the comfort stations. While the lower and deeply submerged portion was sufficiently strong to withhold the weight of concrete needed, the upper section, which must. afford absolute waterproof protection to the masonry and the men employed in the work was found to be too light for actual safety. It was decided to erect an ad- ditional steel rotterdam about the whole. This can be done only with sheet-steel interlocking piling.
 Hurry orders for the needed supply met with i'll success in the contrac- tors supply houses of New York and other cities. The steel mills refused to take orders for delivery within two years.
 The Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins off, cials here assert that they are now pulling up a sufficient quantity in New York harbor to complete the work here Until this arrives thene will be no attempt to pump out the present west cofferdam on the Stratford ave- nue bridge.
 With promises to the administration that work on the Grand street bridge would begin within two weeks after the contracts were let, several months have elapsed during which no great activity has been seen. Inquiries as

BR|DCEPoRT,S MILK "ROTTEN'
 FINDING OF BACTERIoLOC|ST,
 7 AFTER COMPLETING HIS TEST

After four days test of samples of milk furnished to Bridgeport house. holds, Dr. Laurence E. Poole, health department bacteriologist, declared today that Bridgeport milk is rotten" !"
 Nearly two-thirds of about 25 sam pies of milk examined today by Dr. Poole were poor. Some of them had bacterial count of more than one million per cubic centimeter. The significance of this may be grapsed when it is considered that milk with 0,!oO0 to 60,000 bacterial count is conA sidered wholesome.
 "Rotteni" was the emphatic ex- precision of Dr. Poole when he finished his work this morning at the new laboratories in the First-Bridgeport National Bank building.
 T have examined some pasteurized milk, .too," said the bacteriologist, but I'm not publishing what I found.'' It is understood that much of the amateur pasteurization that is being done is not properly conducted.
 It was brought to the attention of Dr. Poole this morning that milk is being sold in Bridgeport as certified" which has a bacterial count of mora than 250,000 per c. c. Milk with more than 10000 per c. c. is not considered good enough by Dr. Abraham So- phian, to be certified.

That preservative is used in milk supplied Bridgeporters was also made known. A case was reported to the meteorological laboratories of milk was that kept four weeks without souring.
 A family went away for two weeks, so goes the report, and the daily milk supply accumulated on the back stoop. It wasn't sour when the family re- turned, although some had been there two weeks. The family kept the milk two weeks more, intending to make cottae cheese of it.. At the end of that time the milk hadn't soured, which was taken to prove that a preservative had been used.
 A milk producer who supplied some of the best milk that enters Bridgeport told the bacteriologist to-. day that not one in a thousand Con necticut milkmen- know what a throat latch for cows is. Regulation 37 of the new act adopted by the health de- partment requires throat latch to prevent the cow from lying down between cleaning and milking.
 Very little of the milk examined this morning was good. Much of it ran between 100000 and 100000 bac- terial count.
 No new cases of poliomyelitis were reported to the health department to- day.

Frederick W. Beardsley who has been an assistant truckmaster in the motor truck trains,returned to Bridge port last night.
 Beardsley brought to the Locono- bile Go. of America, which has been busy turning out Riker trucks for use on the border, the details of the latest. and perhaps the growing achievement of Riker trucks, a run of over 800 miles, from Columbus, N. M., to San Antonio, Tex, in IT days.
 The record making run was through territory without any vestige of road way, with the single exception of a stretch 30 miles out. The fact that the run averaged better than 66 miles day is, regarded as little short of phenomenal. That the train was made up of Riker trucks alone, 3i of them, carrying all the supplies for men and machines, is a source of elation

ARE MEDICINES LIQUORS?

A certain class of prejudiced and
jealous doctors call patent medicines
only alcoholic beverages. They will
tell you that such and such a medi-
cine contains as much alcohol as a
glass of beer or a certain quantity OF
whisky, but they do not mention that
the beer or whisky is swallowed at
one draught. while only a small
quantity of the medicine is taken at
one dose. At the same time they
will use alcohol quite as freely and
many in four or five times as great
proportions in their own prescrip-
tions.
Such standard remedies as Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
use barely enough alcohol to pre-
serve the root and herb eXtractives,
too little to have injurious effects,
and the medicine can be had. If de-
sired, in a non-alcoholic form.

THE INcoNslDERATE BEHAVIOR
OF A CANDIDATE.

Why does Mr.. Hughes insist upon
talking about that old fashioned, not
to say Ubiquitous doctrine, the pro
tective tariff? For nearly the whole
period OF Its Industrial existence the
United States struggled along under
protection. The Democratic party I'm
1913 came to the relief OF an afflicted
and burdened people.
The Republican Administration mot
ON account OF the tariff, Ii is true)
was overthrown. Before taking over
the reins of government. and for many
years prior 10 that time. countless
Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was an iniquity
a veritable contrivance OF devils. Ii
fostered the trusts. and II was an ele-
yator OF prices W. to the thirty-sev-
enth story and the tower. They prom.
Used relief. The poor should be no
longer oppressed; the cost OF living
should be reduced-must be. as the
sure result of n tariff for revenue
protective only In spots, such as the
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr.. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he is now
attacking? He ought to know. The
Democrats, under the leadership of
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood. re-
pealed that iniquity and abomination.
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fos-
tor Unnfhnp ~ trnct1 and f4ah nrinnG
and enacted In its place the present
law. Mr.. Hughes knows, of course,
as every head OF a family i'm America
knows, that the trusts have not yet
been dissolved and that the cost Of
living Is higher han ever-that the
price of everything has reached an un-
heard of height-but what of IT?
What of 1t, indeed? While it Is true
that a protective tariff never failed
under any circumstances to protect
American industry and American la
Dor, 1t is to be considered that the war
In Europe has upset the plans Of the
present low tariff administration.
Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do Is to give the Demo

straight. Never mind the patient: let
the doctor experiment. That time
won't come, of course, until the war
is over-according to the Democratic
version. In other words, the tariff
for revenue doctrine doesn't at the
conditions; the conditions must be
made to fit the tariff. SO why this
disturbance, Mr.. Hughes?
Besides. when you discuss a little
thing like the tarin, do you not know
that Sonin-Law McAdoo and the other
statesmen OF the Democratic family
are likely to repeat their accusation
that you are neutrality-suspicious.
