Superior Court Warns Against Prevalence of
 Gun Carrying Custom

With . warning to certain elements of the city's population that the prac- tice of carrying firearms must be stop- ped, Judge Futile in the criminal su- perior court this afternoon imposed a fine of $20O on Frank Roberts, charg- ed with shooting Carmine Martone in this city, May 27 last. The accused pleaded guilty to manslaughter. It was explained that during saloon brawl Roberts had fired a pistol shot at the ceiling but the bullet had glanced off and struck Martone. Do- nato Del Percio, who was also impli- cated in the row, pleaded guilty to as- saut and was fined $150. Attorney Jacob B. Klein represented Roberts and Attorney I. J. Cohn appeared for Del Percio.

ROUNDUP OF YOUNG FOOTPADS IN THE EAST END
Positive Identification of One Prisoner Likely to
 Lead to Other Arrests.

With the arrest of Albert Vigue, 22 years of age, and the hourly antici- pated apprehension of a half dozen more youths by a squad of detectives, the police believe they at last have broken up the gang of embryo high waymen, who have terrorized the East End.
 Pedestrians have been slugged with abandon by the gang, robbed, and left to die, several men being so serious ly injured recently that for time their lives were despaired of.
 William C.. Russell, who Twas struck on the head with an iron pipe, last Saturday night, under the viaduct, and Ehis money stolen, today positively identified Vigue as one O" the twO men who held him up. John F. Healey, of 1895 Stratford avenue, also identifed Vigue, who lives at 3 Surf avenue, as one of the gang, who near ly beat him to death August 8, and took from his person s94 and gold watch.
 The boldest job of the highwaymen was ,perpetrated last Saturday and led to the arrest of ,Vigue, who con- fessed his complicity in the crime. A resident of Milford, passing St. Mich aePs cemetery, was stopped and ask ed for a match-tthe usual method em- ployed in robbing victims-by two young men.
 Suddenly he received a terrific blow on the jaw and was knocked down, bound. gagged and carried into the cemetery. after valuables and money had been taken from his person.
 John T. Bearry, Orange street, who witnessed the robbery today positive. ly identified Vigue as one of the rob- bers.
 Lieut.. Cronan. on information glean- ed from a grilling of Vigue, today sent Detectives John J. Flynn, Fred- erick l.. Feeley, who arrested Vigue and several members of his bureau, into the East End to round up the other members of the gang and their arrest is expectett bOur)y.

WILL SUPERVISE BUSINESS WITH STR|CTNESs
Stringent Rules to Be En- forced By Police Undei:
 Lieutenant Wheeler

\ All jitney licenses and regulation will come directly under the super vision of the traffic force of the po- lice department, beginning with the issuance of new licenses October l.
 This move has been made to protect 5000 average daily passengers car ried by iitneys in the city of Bridge port and to enforce careful driving regulations, proper equipment on cars and to permit of the better supervision of vehicular traffic in the streets.
 Applications for jitney permits have been printed and are ready for dis tribution at police headquarters. They require many details of the drivers experience, make and condition of the car and incidental qualifications. Heretofore no application other than personal visit to the clerk of the po- lice board has been demanded.
 Lieut.. Charles Wheeler in charge of the traffic squad announced today that the system for future regulation of jitneys would be constant watch of all cars on the streets. Where reck- less driving is observed the jitney will be taken from the driver in the SUI SSI diu II ACSCSodiy HE oee1sO AAAe~A A~ CTS taken from the car until he had assured the police that passengers would be fully protected.
 All wiring of running boards. bent ayles, sprung rims and other danger ous neglects of jitney machines are to be eliminated. Brakes and engines must be in perfect running condition at all times or the automobiles will be ordered from service.
 There are 25,000 passengers car ried daily in jitneys in this city," said Lieut. Wheeler. "The trolley cars are carrying all they possibly can, but are unable to do more than they are do- ing at the present time. All jitney drivers with suitable cars and records for carefulness will be welcomed but we propose to put stop to reckless driving under all conditions. There has not been a serious jitney accident here in a months time and with care full inspection of the jitney equipment, we expect to minimize risk to pas sengers in these conveyances.'
 ,Jitney drivers, who enter the safety zone, arranged for the accommodation of street car patrons, at Fairfield and Main streets, will be haled into court. It appears that in the past the drivers of jitney cars have ignored the pur- pose of this safety zone driving into the area to take on passengers.

 ] That record has been made in the face of difficulties, the like of which has never confronted an administra- tion in half century. I firmly be- .lieve that the people of this country irrespective of party realize this and are prepared to stand by that leader ed alright. The things that were de- nanded and were promised have been The faith has been kept and every obligation met The nation is marvellously prosperous, peaceful and happy. 8
 "In the great world series America is triumphant, because all through the long and trying season when the struggle was the fiercest and a mis- play would have been fatal, superb management directed ! every play alright and the pennant of peace was won.
 Another season just as important as the one now ending Is about to open. The same teams are in the field and the need of skillful manage ment is just as necessary. Do you think it good judgment on the part of the American citizens, who are the stockholders and directors of the pen nant winner, to go looking for a new mana ger? Do you think it the part of wisdom to retain the manager who has been through the stress of a wprld series or so into the bushes and select manager who has not for six years even seen a game played?
 "The good sense of the American people will retain the old manager for another season at least. One good turn deserves another, and one good term deserves another. s
 "The last election in this congress sional district was lost to the Demo- ,crats because of over confidence. Let us be confident, but do not on that account let us fail to do the necessary work, and the most necessary work in an election is the getting out of the vote.

If the vote in this district is gotten out rs it can be, if every man does lis share, we will see in this district on the night of November ' "a bright light in the sky that will mean a great Democratic victory for the entire tick ct.
 T assure you that nothing honor able will be left undone by me to bring about the re-election of Presi- dent Wikon and our able candidate for United States Senator, Homer S..

I only ask you to impress upon your friends when you go back to. them in the respective towns of the district that their work and their vote are essential to that victory which we hope for and which we will surely en- joy if every Democrat does his duty Gentlemen, I accept the nomination and again sincerely thank you"

 T will not enter into discussion of issues at this time. There has been a great deal of speaking of late and more is to follow. with the formal opening of the campaign, which will take place shortly. I simply wish to return my sincerest thanks to the del- egates and their constituents for this latest proof of their regard and to as- sure them that it is appreciated more than any words at my command Will convey.
 "The campaign is about to begin in earnest It must be a campaign not only of speechmaking. but of hard and effective work. We have every incentive for enthusiastic work. We have national ticket that commands the respect of all who want to stand by progressive men.

Bradbury, in his suit against the city several years ago when he couplained that tenants were moving out of his houses because of the stench from Berkshire pond, won the action against the whole city, not against the property owners that live along the new trunk. They contend that, the taxes should pay for the job, which was the result of the suit.
 The Ninth district club was especial ly active during the days when the garbage odor from the Fischer plant was a prime issue here. It is being revived to oppose the assessments. The association will urge that the persons affected band together and aprea not to nav

HERT TELLS REPUBLICANS THEY
SHOULD ANNOUNCE FOR
PROHIBITION

Louisville, KY, November 27-Na-
tional Committeeman Alvin T. Hert
issued a statement tonight urging the
Republicans of Kentucky to adopt
without delay a firm stand with regard
to the adoption of a constitutional
amendment prohibiting the manufac-
ture or sale of intoxicating liquors in
Kentucky.
Mr. Hert declares that the activity
OF the liquor interests in politics, with
its consequent effect upon affairs OF
the people, has become unbearable
The progress and welfare of the com
monwelalth, he adds, require that the
participation of the liquor interests
in Kentucky politics shall cease.
The surest way to accomplish this
result, according to Mr.. Hert's analysis
OF the situation, sis to adopt statewide
prohibition" According to his state
ment he sees no other remedy. He
makes the recommendation that the
Republican party in the state at its
earliest opportunity espouse the cause
OF prohibition and work for the sub
mission of the amendment at the earli-
est date consistent with the legal re-
quirements.
