recommended in the report he has pre- pared.
 "AIl that MT. Gordon has done is tc elaborate upon the original notes o1 Dr. Sophian," a board member present on the trip, explained to a reporter for The Farmer. "Dr. Sophian was ex- tremely busy during the trip but he found time to dictate at the close of each days inspection his views of the various institutions and wards visited These notes were taken by a steno- grapher and MT. Gordon has merely amplified them"
 It was stated that while the report had been accepted at the last meeting it had not as yet been spread upon the minutes, but that copies were being made and full publication would be of fered to the papers on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.
 It was further intimated that II scarcely could be expected pr. Sophian could give his present time to the ire- port, as he was now engaged in work for another city.
 The expenses of the trip in which both city departments participated were defrayed by funds subscribed by private individuals seeking to learn the truth of conditions in other cities with a view to recommending adequate safeguards against epidemic here.

Mr., Wilson's open letter follows: Dear Sir:
 For ten years or more, in my ca pacity as an editorial writer for The Bridgeport Farmer and as a citizen interested in the well being of his country, have endeavored to check the excessive use of money in the conduct of elections.
 The corrupt use of money became a very great evil, and in 1913 an at tempt was made to check it in the passage of a Corrupt Practices Act, which was drafted by the late Stiles Judscn.
 This act checked to a large extent the practices that had been com mon.
 "Rut, two years ago, it appeared that your campaign was financed in a lavish way. Your posters were on every bill board Your campaign buttons must have cost a small tor tune. Your literature and the post age upon 1t was a large item So ployed- A costly canvass of the votes was conducted for you.

CORONER MAKING INVESTIGATION IN
 FATAL ACCIDENT
Chauffeur of Wrecked Car Says Steering Gear of
 Machine Was Locked.

That the steering gear became lock- ed and made it impossible for him to control the car was the statement made to Coroner John J. Phelan yes terday afternoon by Frederick Signor, chauffeur of the automobile which was wrecked in Westport early yes terday morning, causing the death of Eugene Callahan, of Danbury.
 The chauffeurs story is denied by automobile experts summoned by the coroner. They examined the steer ing gear and declared it was not locked. Coroner Phelan took several other expert mechanics to the scene of the wreck this afternoon in order that they might examine the steering gear.
 Signor said the party left Port Chester at midnight. He admitted having champagne but denied he was intoxicated. He declared the ma chine was going not more than 23 to 25 miles an hour when the car left the road at Nash's corner, struck an electric light pole, and threw out the occupants of the automobile. Signor could not explain how a car going at such moderate speed could strike the pole with enough force to snap it off two feet from the ground.
 Residents of Westport who were aroused by the sound of the collis- ion told the coroner today that mem bers of the automobile party were intoxicated. In addition to Signor those in the party Included William Henebry. Mrs. William Henebry and Mrs. Callahan, wife of the man kill ed. All live in Danbury except Sig nor, who is a resident of this city After the accident all were taken to the Norwalk hospital but Mrs. Cal lahan was discharged last night The others are not seriously injured.

German lines. hurting forward great bodies of troops and sustaining enor- nous losses. On one occasion the British war office denied a statement of this nature from Berlin. Unofficial advices from British sources stated the losses of the allies, relative to those of the German and total operations un- dertaken were decreasing to a marked extent, on account of increased eff ficiency of the artillery and aerial ser vices.
 So far as is shown by the London figures, which of course take no ac- count of the French casualties, the losses of the British have been de- creasing August. The total reported for September was 119,54S, or daily average of more than $500. In Au- gust the total was 127.945, a daily av- craze of 4,127. In July, however, the casualties reported were only 59,675.

CIGAR MAKER IS UNDER ARREST ON CHARGE OF ARSON Bremen Discovered Two Separate Blazes in Will
 liam Street Shop. STOCK WORTH $500,
 INSURED FOR $1, 800 Arrest Follows Joint Inves- tigation By Fire and Po-
 lice Officials.

Charged with having wilfully fired the small one-story wooden structure at 179h Williams street, where he manufactures and sells cigars, pre- sumably to obtain by the buildings s destruction $1 1900 insurance, which he carried on his stock, Goetano Ardiz- zone, 23 years of age, was locked up this morning on a charge of arson.
 The arrest was made as result of a search of the premises and investiga- ton of the cause of the blaze, con- ducted by Capt. C. W. Holden, of Chemical No. 1, shortly after they had been called to the scene at 1880 this morning. A pedestrian passing the store noticing smoke issuing from the cracks in the windows hurriedly rang in an alarm.
 When the apparatus reached the store the firemen tried to gain an en- trance, but found every door and win dow securely fastened. Admission was finally gained by breaking through a window and forcing the front entrance.
 Capt. Holden on entering the store found small fire burning in the front of the shop. Passing through a door that leads to the rear of the es- tablishment the superior officer found an immense bundle Of burlap bags wrapped in newspapers. and saturated with turpentine, burning.
 An extinguisher quickly smothered the flames and the bundle of burlap, which the police assert was received by Ardizzone, containing tobacco from wholesale dealers, was carried to fire headquarters as evidence. Chief Daniel Johnson and Capt. Holden then sought the proprietor whom they closely questioned.
 To the fire officials. Ardizzone said he placed a value of $2,0O0 on his stock, which the fire officials assert is not worth $500. He then admitted that he had recently insured his store against fire loss to the amount of $1,500.
 Asked when he last visited the store the owner stated that be left it at 9:3o last night to go home. Had the fire department found the door or any of the windows open they would have inasmuch as an entrance had to be forced they assert that the evidence points clearly to the owner as being the person guilty of setting the blaze.
 The burlap bags are now in the hands of Lieut. E. O. Cronan and he has. assigned detectives to obtain further evidence of the cigarmaker's alleged guilt.
 . The fire damage to the store will not exceed $50.

GREEK VESSEL, UNARMED, SUNK
 BY SUBMARINE

Paris, Oct. H.-A Havas despatch from Athens quotes the captain of the Angheliki as saying she was torpedoed without notice by a German subma- rine at g o'clock at night This des- patch described the vessel as pas- senEer steamer. It states that she be- gan to sink immediately but was kept afioat some time with the aid of pas sengers who manned the pumps.
 There was a frightful panic and many threw themselves overheard and were drowned" the despatch contin- ues. "The steamer Caristos took off the surviving passengers and part of the crew and a French torpedo boat took the remainder. Fifty passengers, possibly more, lost their lives"
 London, Oct. 31!The Greek steamer Germaine has been sunk by a German submarine but the crew was saved, says a Lloyds Agency despatch.
 The Germaine was of 1,644 tons net. She was last reported as sailing from Montevideo, Sept. 26, for St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands.

The report, a voluminous affair, is in the hands of the members of the board of health, but is not yet spread on their records. It is likely to be- come public tomorrow, if the com missioners decide it Is expedient to take the public into their confidence at this time.
 News that Gordon had been pre- pairing the report leaked out today when the charities superintendent re- stunned work in the department, from which he has been enjoying respite of several weeks in order that he may have time to prepare the health report.
 Dr. Sophian hadn't time to prepare the $5, 900 report. He has been paid, and has bid Bridgeport a dear fare well. Now that it has become known that Gordon has prepared the report, public-spirited citizens who went to large expense in connection with the health departments work last sum- mer, are asking whether Sophian's views, or those of the charities will dominate the re- port.
 Gordon trained with Dr. Soph1an when the health expert was here, be- came an ardent armirer of his, and now, is looking forward to an increase in salary under changes of adm1nistra- tion of the two departments which are
