.ACHINISTS TO PROCURE HOME
 FOR THE UNION
Large Enough Club Rooms Not Available, They Must
 Purchase Building.

Because there is no available hall in Bridgeport large enough to house the members of the Maehinists' union for their meetings, the two Bridge port locals have made preparations to have a home of their own.
 At the last meeting of Local No. 30 a committee of 10 was appointed to seek an available building, which will be purchased is possible. At the meeting of the Remington local Thursday evening, an assistant com mittee will be appointed.
 It is expected the new home will cost in the neighb orhood of $60, The locals expected to be in it before the end of the summer.
 The 1Iachinists' union has made tremendous increases in membership for eight or nine months, the officers have been seeking a hall large enough for club rooms and meetings. Failing to find one, they have decided to ac- quire a home of their own

WON'T CHARGE z PAPP WOMAN
 WITH MURDER
States Attorney Recon mends Prosecution For
 Manslaughter Instead.

Mary Papp, the young bride who has been held in the county jail on the charge of murdering her husband, Nicholas Papp, while the latter was at work in a West End factory, had the charge against her changed from murder to manslaughter by order of Judge Curtis of the criminal superior court this morning.
 This action was taken upon the recommendation of States Attorp ey Cummings. He said he had been in- formed that the woman was soon tc become a mother and he thought it advisa b1e to give her a chance to get bail. After looking over the evil dence he thought manslaughter was probably the crime of which she is guilty. Judge Curtis ordered a bench warrant issued for Mrs. PapP on the manslaughter Acharge. Her bonds were fixed at S5.0O0.

 Cars In Bridgeport.

The Connecticut Go. will move its offices on July 15. For this purpose the Logan brothers building at Mid d1e and Congress streets, has been leased for a term of years above the store floors. The building will offer four full floors for theN administrative business of the company. which will include moving present offices from the Connecticut car barns in Con gress street, the Newfield building and the trolley express building in Water Istreet.

 The Water street express station will be enlarged for the handling of larger quantities of express in transit, while the operating depart ment will hove much larger car ac- commodation in the Congress street barns.
 Rapid progress is being made today in the paint shops of the Connecticut Go. on signs designed to give greater sengers on cars for various destina- tions. The company will adopt the Western method ofindicating destina- ton on approaching cars.
 This method retains the present system of metal sign hung upon the front of the car but adds an extremely large heavy letter underlaid beneath  The present black background sign will be retained. a large letter of the alphabet Unexpectedly visible for a distance of about four blocks to the normal eye is painted in red as high and broad as possible on the signs, after which the common white let tering is painted over and across the larger red letter.
 Each route is designated by one let ter, now running as far as ''R'' on the alphabet including the "J' route which will be the Barnum avenue State street line.
 It is expected that all the signs will be completed within week, during which time the Connecticut Go. will prepare for public distribution signs and pamphlets giving the routing to the public.
 A An illustration taken from the new route sheet of the company. which fol lows, is: Route A. North and South Main street line. The passenger wait ing for a, car at Main street and Fair field avenue will fdst observe a large red letter 'tA'' in the distance. He will know from information or exper- fence that this car if south bound, will travel as far as Seaside park and if north bound as far as Wentworth street. As the car approaches he will distin guish in smaller white lettering the usual destination as at present indicated on the signs.

JUDGE -JAILS PERSISTENT BUT UNNAMED SWAIN WHO CLIMBED
 IN TRANSOM OF HIS LADY LOVE

In vain has John Church or S0l Main street prosecuted his courtship for five years for the hand of Mrn. Mary, Greenwood. of 457 Myrtle ave nue, according to his own admission in the city court this porning, where he was tried on the charge of breach of peace. His ardor for her love has not been at all diminished by the fact that on a. number of occasions he has faced the court as a result Of forcibIy entering Mrs. Greenwood's home.
 Church was arrested yesterday by Policeman Alexander Coughlin on the complaint of Mrs. Greenwood She stated that when he had come to the house and found the door locked, he climbed through the transom and in that manne rgained admittance- Ac- cording to the testimony of the ob- tect of his hearts desire, Church has not the slightest chance as she has no use for him.
 But Church on the witness stand said 'I love her and like her yet" while telling of the rebuffs that he has met in his desire to win the love of Mrs. Greenwood Denied admit tance to the house he has forced the door when it was locked and has been brought before the court on her conn platnt several times. He states that

home of MT. and Mrs. Samuel Flaw man on South avenue. Young flaw mans parents were not at home and the trio entered a room, drew the shades and turned on a light.
 When MT. and Mrs. Hawman re- turned about 4 o'clock they found the boys with eyes big and faces flushed paving over the contents of the box. One look at the papers and a few questions convinced MT. fHawman- He shattered the dreams of the boys by taking, the box under his arm and walking off with it.
 MT. Hawman went to the r. M. C.. A. where he procured information con- corning the building committee of the new United church. Then he delivered the box to wilber Smith, chairman of that committee.
 It was learned that the box was prized more by the committee than could be estimated. For days they have been watching the destruction Of the church building but couldn't To- cate the records which were reputed to be\lodged somewhere in the mason work. No signs had been found by the wreckers that would indicate the position of the box, and the commit tee began to believe they didn't exist.
 Examination of the contents showed all the old records of the Congrega- tionaI church, the history of which goes back to 1885 These were in a sealed package. Two dollars in old bills issued by a Connecticut bank, and $1.91 in silver and~a 1-2 cent piece of copper of the coinage prevalent in 1850 were found. There was list of contributors to the building of the churchJ which was dedicated April Il. 1850. Fifteen hundred dollars led off the list of donations. Half a dozen testaments and prayer books, tariff sheets of the New York & Albany rail- road, railroad tickets and Connecticut state registers and current newspapers were in the box. It was made of tin, and copper-1ined. Everything was in an excellent state of preservation.

CUTTER MOHAWK
 RUNS ASHORE ON
 BARTLETT'S REEF

. New London, May 29-The coast guard cutter Mohawk grounded on the shoals just inside the Bart1ett's Reef nghtship< at 9:30 o'clock this morning while bound from New York to this port and at the last report was hard and fast seven miles out side New London harbor. The Mo- hawk was ordered to this port with several officers on board who were to attend the coast guard reunion be- eing held at the coastguard academy at Fort Trumbul1 today and Tuesday, The heavy fog that enveloped the harbor this morning made naviga- ton hazardous and the fact that the fog signal on Bartlett Lightship could not be heard by the pilot of the steamer is held responsible for the nnishap.
 After the ship struck the comqnand- ing officer ordered calls for help sent out and the coastguard cutters Anv droscoggin and Itasca which were in this harbor, submarine tender Bush nell and U. $. s. Tucker hurried to the assistance of the stranded craft. With the arrival of these vessels an att tempt was made to haul the Mohawk into deep water but she was stuck hard and fast. As the steamer was in no special danger and was not dam aged perceptib1y by her mishap fl was decided to wait until high wate4 tonight before making any further attempt to float the craft.

da1ous features of the Burr & Knapp failure are already pretty well un-l derstood by the press and public
 IT would say, however, that iii seems to me that the time has como when some adequate check should be! placed by legislative regulation oni that form of irresponsible. recHless and criminal private banking which so often leads to gross frauds upon the public and serious and undeserv-l ed loss to innocent people,
 The failure of Burr & Knapp i'm September, 1915, was one of the big-i gest sensations this city ever experi-i enced- The bank had a large number of depositors and it did an extensivei business in mortgages. After the failure many persons of limited means found themselves in possession ofi worthless mortgages.
 After Attorney John c. Chamber lain was named trustee by Referee ini Bankruptcy John w. Banks a. numberi of hearings were held in the bank ruptcy court. One of the reportai made showed that for II and one halfl years, the firm did business at a loss of $27,431.O9 a year. making a total loss of $315,457.56. During this period the partners drew salaries afI an iaverage of $16, ,986.o3 year.
 Those who participated in the saI- ary drawing were the late EbenezeF Burr in 1908 and then his widow,i Mary H. Burr, who received a total of $61, 1,439.01; H. M- Knapp, who got $S2,7O7 and Mrs. Knapp who was paid $34,785.S4.
 The settlement of the estate is stii1 pending in the bankruptcy court as there is a. dispute involving certain securities claimed by the First9 Bridgeport National bank. It prob- ably will be a year at least before this litigation can be tried in the courts. Some time ago Knapp asked to dba discharged from Bankruptcy but vari- ous creditors opposed his petition and Referee Banks has taken no action.
 In the matter of the Hungarian so- ciety funds. in which Knapp is said to have been involved with one of the officers of the society, it is claimed that certain money deposited with Burr & Knapp to be sent by draft t0 Hungary. was deposited in the private account of Burr & Knapp.

The dreams that most small boys with imaginations have of some day enacting the lucky role in a treasure digging party came true for three Bridgeport youngsters yesterday, but their period of wealth was cut short.
 Charles Hawman of 297 South ave- nue, Matthew Skane and Donald Ben nett of Warren street, all 12 years old, were walking along Broad street yes- terday afternoon discussing Treasure Island. Each had his own opinion as to where treasure could be found, and each had his own ideas as to what he'd do with a. few million in doub- looms when he found it,
 Matthew and Donald were arguing over the choicest site for a rich man s castle when Charles stopped them and whispered: 'Look!'
 I He pointed at the southwest corner of the North Congregational church, which is being demolished. Little but the front. of the building remains.
 in projection of the base of the building, close to the iron fence on Broad street. a stone had been partly dislodged. Sticking out of masonry dust was a shiny, attractive piece Of metal.

The action today was not a conn plete surprise to deposftors and oth- CTS interested in the Burr & Knapp failure. It was told exclusively in The Farmer several weeks ago that the states attorney was contemp1at- ing issuing a warrant for Knapp.
 It had been known that Attorney S. D. Bowers of this city and several expert accountants were examining the banks books and records. This work required considerable time but it was necessary to have all the facts at hand before warrants could be asked for.
 In asking for the warrants the states attorney said to the court, ''For some months past I have been con- duct1ng an investigation into the af- fairs of the banking firm of Burr 6 Knapp. This investigation has in volved the employment of expert ac- countants, examinations of the books of the bank and careful reading of examination of many witnesses and sundry collateral inquiries.
 Although an enormous amount of labor has already beenS expended in this work the investigation has not yet been completed. It has progressed far enough, however, to justify me in asking your honor for a bench war
 
 Knapp for misappropriationN of funds and securities of many diffeneht per sons, estates and organizations as de- scribed in detain in the complaint and information which I submit to your Honor.
 "I have set forth 105 different criminal acts in as many different counts and the total amount misap- Hpropriated aggregates $110,o00. I also ask your Honor for a bench warrant for the arrest of Herbert M. Knapp and Soloman Lavozky who are jointly informed against for n1isappro ting funds, of the Hungarian Sick Benefit Societies Confederation, amounting to $4,033.34.''
 When asked for a statement after court adjourned MT. Cummings said, ''It would not be proper for me to discuss in advance of the trial, the details of the case or indeed to com ment on it's merits in any way. My action speaks for itself and the scan
