 ARE GIVEN OATH
Twenty Four of Nations Foremost Scientists
 Swear Allegiance.

Washington. Sept e-rwenty7 four of Americas foremost scientists, com- prising the navy's civil consulting board headed by Thomas A. Edison, United States today as officers of the federal government The oath was administered in the office of Secretary Daniels preliminary to organization of the board under the new law giving it a legal status.
 Later the scientists were taken on board the naval yacht Dolphin for a cruise down to the southern drill grounds off the Virginia coast to wit ness the target practice maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet.
 Before MT. Edison arrived at the navy department he went to Mount Vernon, Va. the home of George Washington, made a personal inspec- ton of the mansion and planted an elm tree in the yard. He was asked to inspect the electrical wiring of the house which he tried, pronouncing ii safe.
 Secretary Daniels formally well comed the scientists into the federal service and predicted that their en- listment would do much to restore American prestige upon the seas and assure the glorious future of our nation and our country

TRUST co. MAY
 HAVE TO NAME
 NEW DIRECTORS
Clayton Act Likely to Affect Seven of Banks Execu-
 tive Board
ASK INTERPRETATION OF KERN AMENDMENT
Three Bridgeport Institu= tiens Seem to Come Un=
 der New Ruling

Radical changes in the direeterates of some of the most prominent bank ing institutions of this city are likely to occur on or before Oct. IS. as the outcome of a decision by the Federal reserve board as to what constitutes 'substantiaI competition" under the Clayton laN prohibiting interlecking directerates.
 The reserve board has decided, ac- cerding to despatches from Washing ten, that any two banks having re- Iseurces to the amount of $5,000,000 or more shall not have interlecking di- rectorates.
 It is known that one institution In this city has as many as seven di- recters who are also directors in other national banks or trust companies.
 An effort is now being made to as- certain from the Federal Reserve board of directors in a national bank also, on the directorate of trust conn pany bank may not be classed beyond the pale of the ruling because of the different character of the business transacted.
 In the event of the application be- ing denied it will necessitate imme- diate revision of the directorates of at least three banks in this city. Banks all over the United States will be similarly affected.
 Charles c. Sanford, president of the First Bridgeport National bank, and director in the Federal Reserve bank said today:
 Referring to the Clayton act, 1t Is possible that it wdll affect the ,directorates of three banks in Bridge port-the First-Bridgeport National bank, the Connecticut National bank and the Bridgeport Trust Co.
 Several directors from the two national banks are directors in the Bridgeport Trust Co. The Kern amendment to the Clayton act pro- ivfdes that these directors may serve En two banks, provided the banks are not in substantial competition.
 Applications have been filed with the Federal reserve board by some of the national bank directors in Bridgeport. requesting permission to serve on their own board and also on the board of the Bridgeport Trust Co. The ground for, this request is that the business of the trust com pany Is radically different in character from that of the national banks and thatthe trust company is not in substantial competition under the law.
 These applications probably will be determined within a very few days"

Chicago, Sept. 19.-Release on bond of several members of the alleged blackmail syndicate arrested by fed eral agents hereN and possible contin- uance of their preliminary hearing. was in prospect today as witnesses, from eastern citiessarrlved in Chicago to testify against the seven persons under arrest.
 James Christian, one of tho seven arrested in the raid hero Saturday night was freed on a s2,5O0 bond late last night, officials admitting they had little evidence to connect. him with the alleged f1eecing of Mrs. Regina Kip per of Philadelphia. the principal wit ness against the defendants. The three alleged leaders probably will be held under s25.0O0 bond. These three arc Helen Evers. Edward (~Doc') Dona- hue. and Harry C'Slick'O Russell.
 Mrs. Ripper is expected in Chicago today to testify at the hearing, which is set for D. m.
 The story of the blackmailiug of Mrs. Ripper involves Frank Crocker, a member of the band. who is alleged to have fleeced her. quarreled with his |confederates over a division of tho spells and then turned state s evidence against them. Crocker is tolbe given immunity.
 Mrs. Klipper, a divorcee with Two small children. met Crocker in New York hotel -lhile there on l.uying trip for q Philadelphia concern. She and Crocker. according to the confess sion Crocker is said to have made to federal officials, went to an apartment after a dinner aud evening at a the- atre. Shortly after midnight, accord VI cr n hn fac hue, William Butler and George Irwin knocked at the door. All wore badges of the government secret service andi showed O bogus warrant for the arrest of the couple for violation of the Mann act.
 Crocker, affecting surprise and in- dignation. wrote out a check for S, 900 and advised Mrs. Klipper to pay the men what money she had and this she did.
 When Mrs. Klipper threatened to tell her story to federal authorities, mem- bers of the band, according to govern ment charges, spirited her away to a hote lin Montreal There she was held prisoner for six weeks. The story of Crocker's adventure with Mrs. Klipper is in the files of Commissioner Lewis Mason's court. before which Crocker, testified at a hearing June 2.
 The federal antiquities here, it was learned today. we're besieged by sev- eral wealthy men and women who claimed to have been victims of the syndicate and who pleaded that their, names be kept out of the case. They were given to understand, it is said. that no names would be revealed un- less it was necessary in order to ob- tain convictions.

Fairfield Field Looks Like War Scene When Argu-
 ment Is Over.

Modern warfare with it's starshells and hand-to-hand combats in the trenches was emulated on a small scale recently in Fairfield, and yester- day the details of the struggle were told in Judge Bacon Wakeman's town court.
 Two weeks ago, according to tes- timony offered, Andrew Soss defeated main body of the Allies sympathiz- CTS while searching for a detachment of three.
 Soss entered Casper Schick's cafe at Ash Creek two weeks ago Saturday night for refreshment, after a hard days labor in a Bridgeport shop. He had been there but short time when argument on the war abroad began. His opponents are said to be three Polish speaking men. After a slight skirmish in which the four partici- pated while opponents of many other nationalities stood passively by, Soss was vanquished. He swore vengeance, and to await him the three Polish speaking men took seats on a stone all above the safe on the Fairfield turnpike. Merely as spectators to the coming freight, eight sympathizers with the allies took observation seats on the opposite side of the roadway.
 Soss, who gave his addresssas Fair feld avenue. Bridgeport, disappeared in the darkness for about 10 min utes. When he returned he had a rifle and it is alleged he was ac- companied by one other individual bearing a f1ash1ight, whose name has not been learned.
 In the 1nky darkress Soss admits he mistook the side of the road on which the coming battle was to be staged. Witnesses declare that there was flash of light, followed by a dull thud. There was a second flash Of light, whang and another dull thud, continued by at least two more flashes and thuds, followed by gl7oans The light disappeared and Soss was seen no more. Half an hour later Schick's saloon took the. form of an improvised field hospital The first on the casualty list was John Udis- ky, whose head was split open from his forehead to the rear of his era n1um. He had crawled to the sa- loon nearly an hour after Soss' de- parture. Insensible behind fence in the field, the others were found. It is understood that only one of eight innocent bystanders had escap- ed the telling blows from the rife butt yielded by Soss in the light of the torch.
 In court last week upon the com- plaint of Udisky, Soss was fined s5 and costs and sentenced to 10 days in jail, which he served. Yesterday two additional complaints against Soss were heard, George Baker and Frank Diskey, both of Fairfield. A fine of $1 and costs was imposed by Justice Wakeman though Attorney Abe Geduldig argued that Soss had already received enough punishment It Is expected that four others who suffered in the fray may yet be heard from.
