that building material is high and IS

I look to see all the private houses

up at the attractive figures at which
they are now offered. There is ateat

will take about six months 70 do, and,
in my opinion. the operation will show
a very handsome profit.

UNITED CHURCH TO BE MARBLE
 AND RED BRICK
Will Have Same Relative Location as Recently
 Razed North Church.

At a meeting tomorrow evening of the building committee of the United Congregational church, final plans for the new building will be passed upon.
 Contracts will have been let within three weeks, it is expected, and work on the structure will be started inn mediately. It is estimated that it will take year to complete the building.
 The church. will be constructed of red brick and marble. and will be sit- uated as was the old North church, facing south on Bank street and hay ing one side on Broad street. A parish house will be constructed between the church and the Sailer property.
 The new church will have a capacity of about 1000 persons, The North church accommodated about 500 and South church few score more. The parish house will have the same ca pacity as the church, D
 A gymnasium will be built in the basement of the parish house. Fa- cilities for a,game room and club room will be part of the church building.
 Because of te nature of the work, which Is largely in stone, it is expected that the job will take about a year. soundipgs are being completed for the foundation stone.
 Cass Gilbert, designer of the Wool worth building, and the proposed Bridgeport Savings bank, drew the plans for the new church building.

GULF STEAMER SAVES
 CREW FROM SCHOONER

s<ew York, Oct. 11.-News was re- cefved here by wireless today of the rescue of seven men believed to be from the schooner T. W. Dunn, by the steamship Fl Rio, of the Southern Pa cfhc Steamship company, about 250 miles east of Savannah, Ga. The mes sage from the Fl Rio said she had picked up the crew of the "SS. Dunn" and that the vessel was waterlogged. No steamer named Dunn is listed in the marine records. The abandoned vessel is thought to be the T. W. Dunn which left New Orleans Sept. 10 for Barcelona, Spain.
 The Dunn is owned by A. D. Cum mins of Philadelphia. The shjpwrecked crew are being taken to Galveston, lwex.

CORONER URGES
 PROTECT|0NFOR
 GRADE CROSSING
EXonerates Railroad Com pany of Blame For Hall
 Street Fatality.
CITY SHOULD GUARD
 PASSAGE, HE FINDS
Law or Other Means Might Be Invoked to Establish
 Safe Public Path.

Strongly urging that the city take steps for the establishment of prop erly guarded public crossings at Hall or Grand streets, Coroner John J. Phelan this morning exonerated the railroad company Of blame for the death of Edward L. Green, the team ster who was killed Oct. while crossing the Berkshire division tracks.
 The coroner said he could not hold the railroad company liable because the records of the city and railroad both showed there never had been a public crossing at Hall street. Three weeks before the fatality the railroad company had erected a sign at this point reading, "No Crossing. Danger ous." In view of these facts the cor oner found that Green was using the crossing at his own risk
 In his finding the coroner says:
 "The records and maps shown and the evidence taken. as stated, upon due consideration reasonably convinced pany claim that no public crossing ex- ists at the place named.
 Failing, therefore, to find any evil dence on the part of the city or rail- road company showing any formal lay out of Hall street across the right of way of the company since it's t.stab- lishment in 1889, I conclude the de- ceased was at the time of his death using the so called Hall crossing at his owns risk and further conclude that Engineer Burns in the circupn- stances exercised such proper man. agement of his engine in endeavorfng to avoid fatality as could be. expected or required by law. {"
 'I find, therefore, that the deceased came to his death at the time, place and from the cause shown and that the same was accidental.
 "In view of the undoubted import ance of a properly guarded crossing for public use at Hall or Grand street or both, strongly urge the authori- ties of the city to take the matter under advisemenS that present dan. gers may be eliminated by the estab- fishing of a law or otherwise, of a right of passage at such places as ill be reasonably safe and convenient for public use."

JOS. H. HOADLEY AND WH. KNIGHT INVOLVED IN SUIT Newport Man Brings SIC, ,00O Action Against Local
 Manufacturers.

President Walter H. Knight of the Bridgeport Projectile Co. and former President Joseph H. Hoadley of the American & British Co.,, have been served with papers in two lawsuits brought by John R. Drexel of New port, R. l., and calling for aggregate damages of $70,000. Writs of at tachment were served on every bank, trust company and brokerage office in this city so that no funds of the defendants would be overlooked.
 Drexel claims that on Nov. 15. 1907. Knight promised to pay Hoadley $25,- 900. This note was subsequently en- dorsed by the plaintiff to Drexel. When presented at the German American bank in New York it was protested for non-payment. On this action Drexel wants $35,000 dam ages.
 In the second suit Drexel says he obtained judgment against Knight and Hoadley for $27, 7,010.77 in the New York state supreme court in June. 1912. He claims he has been un- able to collect this judgment, Dam ages of $35,0O0 are asked. Both suits are returnable to the civil superior court, November term. Hoadley has obtained much publicity in New York papers recently because of attempts to attach his yacht.

NO GROUND FOR U. s. COMPLAINT,
 VIEW IN BERLIN

Berlin, Oct. 1.-The submarine cam- paign off the American coast, accord ing to the firm conviction in Admiralty circles, undoubtedly is being conducted lin full accordance with the recognized rules of cruiser warfare, which pro- vide that the German submarines shall not sink ships without warning and without making adequate provisions for the safety of passengers and crews. The decision of the American court in case of the British steamer Appam, which was awarded to her British owners after being taken into Norfolk by German prize crew, makes it im- practicable to send prizes into Ameri- can ports. Submarine commanders therefore have no option except to de- stroy them.
 It is assumed here that the Ameri- can government has no ground for ob- jection to the operations of submarines in such proximity to the American coast and German warships are merely following the example of Great Brit ain and her allies, which have kept watch off the American coast.
 Neither the foreign office nor the Admiralty is willing to express an
 inion as to individual cases like tha, of the British steamship Stepfano or the Dutch steamship Bloomersdijk.
 Joseph G. Grew, who is acting as American Charge DAffaires during the absence of Ambassador Gerard. has received no communications from Washington on this subject nor has he thus far taken up any phase of it with the foreign office. The Berlin newspapers are just beginning to re- ceive the despatches describing the ex- citement in the United States over the submarine campaign. The only refer ence to it thus far published is a pas sage in a Wall street report, and con- sequentIy there has been no newspaper comment on this subect.
