WEST BINDERS TO PROTEST SEWAGE
 DISPOSAL PLANS
Say Plant Would Be Detri- mental to Interests of
 10000 Persons.

West End residents are vigorously protesting thee contemplated purchase of the Wordin estate by the city of Bridgeport for a sewerage disposal plant. It has been conceived by the representative property owners in that section of Bridgeport between Rail- road avenue, Cedar and Burr Creeks that the city not only designs to erect pumping plant but also an incinerat- ing plant where by-products can be loaded directly onto barges for ship ment elsewhere by water.
 At meeting of the Hungarian Business Mems association held last night vigorous action was sought to overcome the project and resolutions were adopted calling for an injunction against the project. Attorney Ernest Berger has been retained to take such legal action as may be deemed neces- sary.
 A call for a mass meeting of citi- zens in the West End has been issued and definite date will be set within the next two weeks when the opin- ions of the various property owners in the section will be stated publicly.
 It was said at yesterdays meeting of the Hungarian Business Mems as- sociation that nearly 10000 persons are located within a small radius of the proposed site for the pumping sta ton, that two school houses are near by and that an incarceration plant would be detrimental to property values of large section of the West End.
 The officers of the Hungarian Busi- ness Mems association are: John Dezso, president; Paul Breiner, vice president; Frank Bolcschaszi, treas urer, and Frank Sypobocki, secretary.
 Appraisers to ascertain the actual value of the Wordin tract, which has large acreage near the old Bridgeport reduction plant, which was abandoned many years ago, have been appointed and are now at work.

M|LKMAN FINDS WARREN ROBBED
 AND INSENSIBLE Thugs in North End Beat Howard Avenue Resident
 Into Unconsciousness. USE RUSE TO THROW
 HIM OFF HIS GUARD Highwaymen Got Only $8.50, Victim Tells Police After
 Resuscitation.

Held up by two men who first asked game of cards and then asked for a cigarette, Edwin J. Warren of 1,133 Howard avenue was beaten and robbed of s8.50 about a half hour after midnight this morning at North ave- nue and Oak street and was found ly- ing on the sidewalks A few hours later by a milkman. He was not severely injured but his clothes were torn from the rough treatment he received.
 Warren complained to the police this morning, saying that is he was pass ing the corner two men spoke to him and asked if he would like to play in a game of cards. He said that he wouldn't play and then talked for a few minutes with the men. Finally one of them saw a pack of cigarettes in the pocket of his shirt and reach ing over asked for one. Instead of taking the cigarette he put his hand around Warren's neck and choking him, forced him to the ground.
 As he saw the plans of the pair. Warren began to resist but he was no match for them and while one held him on the ground. the other went through his pockets and took the money. Warren knew nothing moro of the occurrence until later when a mf1kman, driving over North avenue, saw him lying on the walk
 He went to Warren's side and after awaking him, took him to police head quarters where report of the holdup was made. Warren furnished a good description of the men and the po- 1icemen were notified to be on the lookout for them but as they had com mitted the holdup several h urs be- fore, nothing could be found of ttem.

BOSTON EXPECTS NEXT VISIT
 FROM SUBMARINE BRIGHTER:
 CARGO IS ASSEMBLED THERE,

Boston. Aug. S-While it was gen. erally conceded that one guess was as good as another, those who argue that the German submarine Bremen will find refuge in Boston harbor were encouraged today by persistent re- ports that an outside cargo for the merchantmen was being assembled here. According to these reports which could not be traced locally to definite source, the cargo will con- sist of nickel and rubber which are being brought to town in a way to escape observation.
 Marine observers >gho picket the Massachusetts coast, had their glasses pointed east by northeast. They fig ured that if the Bremen were one of the submersibles picked up off Cross Island on the Maine coast yesterday she ought to turn Cape Ann this af- ternoon. She could hug the coast from Cross Island down and have all the water she needed to draw, within the three mile limit.
 This being the case, shipping men were puzzled to know why the adven-

 BACK FROM LAND
 OF CARRANzISTAS
M: A. Pollock Returns To Locomobile Co. After In
 teresting Experiences.

After many interesting experiences in roughing it with the motor truck contingent at Columbus, N. M., and in Mexico, M. A. Pollock, who went to the border a month ago in the interests of the Locomobile Go. ot America, returned to Bridgeport to- day.
 His stories of the performances ot motor trucks were devoured with avidity by his associates in the Loco mobile Go. of Americas plant. where men are working day and night on orders for Riker trucks for the United States army.
 Notable among the experiences o1 the Bridgeporter was a trip on a Riker truck train from Columbus N. M., to Colonia Dublan, where Gen. eral Pershing's headquarters is situ- ated, thence on to Fl Valle, the ex- treme of the punitive expeditions lines, where, at that time. General Pershing was located.
 General Pershing was i'll on the ar rival of the motor truck train, and none of the contingent saw him in the brief time occupied in delivering the supplies before the return trip was begun.
 MT. Pollock reflected the general modesty that characterizes the Loco- mobile Company's executives, in dis cussing the performances of the trucks made in this city.
 There is a repair shop in Colum- bus," said MT. Pollock. ''It was built by the army. with the cooperation of our men. It has a capacity of 100 trucks. There are many types of trucks on the border. There have been never more than three Riker trucks in the repair shop"
 MT. Pollock brought back many in- teresting sidelights of the record trip of the Riker train of 30 trucks. One of these was the dismissal of charges against certain drivers who were threatened with court martial for baking at protracted work. The charges against the men were dis missed on recommendation of their superiors, following the exploit of

 The bill provides for organization of a council for national defense to CO., ordinate transportation, industrial and agricultural facilities in time of stress, for relief of dependent families of sol- diers in service on the Mexican bor- der. and appropriate special sum of more than $13,00O,O0o for development of aviation in the army.

 POLICE MUST DO
 TURN ON STREET
Supt. Redgate to Send Of fcers Out For Two Hours
 a Day.

In orders issued today by Supt. J. H. Redgate, desk lieuteants are in- structed to do street duty two hours every day, Motorcycle Policeman chsfcrd Gorgas. is taken from the motorcycle squad and given a ibeat to patrol and the men were instruct ed as to the place they are to pur. chase their dress coats and over coats.
 The order which states that lieuten- ants must do two hours street duty every day results from careful inves- tigation by the members of the po- lice commission who believe that the service will be greatly benefited by having the lieutenants make the rounds for a couple of hours a day. While the lieutenants are on the street, the sergeants will be called upon to do the desk work and it will be up to the ieutenants to arrange for the hours on which they are to be relieved. No set time has been designated on the shifts for the lieu tenants to go upon the streets. The crder became effective today.
 As Policeman Gorgas has been a member of the motorcycle squad SluCC HIS dPPOAhtAACAt INV yCcAAo o6O his relegation to the patrolling squad came as quite a. shock to the other members of the department. Before appointment to the regular force, he was a special policeman and did mo- torcycle duty in the West End, catch ing many automobile speeders. When selected to don a regulars uniform he was assigned to the motorcycle squad and continued his work in the campaign to squelch speeders and vio- lators of the law.
 It is rumored that the shift of Gorgas, the dean of the motorcycle souad,s is the result of friction be- tween him and Lieutenant Charles A. Wheeler, who has charge of traffic The motorcycle squad is under the jurisdiction of the traffic officer and as Gorgas' expectation of being ap- pointed a sergeant and placed in cnarge of the traffic, was not fulfilled. he has been disgruntled, according to report.
 Gorgas will be succeeded on the mo. torcycle squad by Policeman Arthur Salmon. Gorgas has been assigned to the Third Precinct station and will pa trol post 15 on the D shift, which goes on at II o'clock tonight. Policeman Michael J. Larney will patrol Salmon former beat from headquarters on the A platoon
 In the uniform orders, all members of the department who were appointed before June 1 are instructed to pur- chase their dress coats and overcoats from Meigs & Go. The men in the department who were appointed re- gently will purchase their dress coats from Levy & Co.of New York, of whom the new uniforms were purchased. The overcoats will be purchased of Meigs & Go. Caps also will be pur- chased at Meigs & Go.
