Family Troubles
 Cause Near Murder

Family troubles in the home of Ra- fale Napo1itano of 39 Goodwin street led to a near murder last night when George Malia, of 39 Steuben street, slashed his broth er-in-law Rafele, and left him for death in front of his home in Goodwin street.
 The victim was taken to the Bridgeport hospital where eight stitches were taken in his neck. He will recover. A description of the assaiIant was sent to surrounding towns and about midnight Ma1ia, was apprehended by the Norwa1k police as he was leaving a, trolley car in that city.
 He admitted doing the stajbbing but the only reason he would give for the assault was that there was ''troub1e'' at the home. He was taken back to this city in the automobile police patrol.
 Malia was arraigned this morning in the city court and his case was continued until Wednesday under bonds of $2,000.

 The class will meet Mondays and Fridays for 20 sessions, from 7:30- 9:30 each evening According to MT. Keeney, the educational secretary, the course provides for the study of grammar only as a foundation. The greater part of the time will be de- voted to the meaning and use of words, to the building of sentences and to the writing of intelligent and buefneas-like English. As MT. Bar tho1omew expresses it, it is his pur- pose to avoid rattlfng the dry bones of grammar much as possible and to make the work attractive and in keresting as well as profitable.

Haines Calmest of Prisoners Held At
 County Jail Here

The interim between court sessions on Friday last and Tuesday is being spent quietly by Jason s. Haines, now on trial for his life, in the county jail
 That the ordeal does not weigh heavily upon his mind is the statement of all his guards who declare that in their experience they have scarcely seen a person upon whom the strain has been less.
 Haines eats heartily and sleeps we'll and when in company with other pris- oners continues his normal behavior of the last three or four months. He does not discuss his chances.
 Although it was expected that he might have had visitors during the intervals between trial, none has called at the jail and he has not con- sidered 1t necessary to consult with counsel.

FREIGHT DISCUSSION
 IS DISCUSSED BYI. C..

Washington, March 6-Congestion in freight terminals on trunk line rail- roads entering New York and other Atlantic coast seaports and the best way for the carriers and the shippers to relieve the situation were topics of discussion today at an informal con- ference between the interstate com merce commission, the railroads and all others concerned.
 The commission has set aside two days for discussion and hopes to find some way to solve a problem that has worried the carriers and shippers for several months. It is without power to lessen eastbound shipments by em- bargoes but could consider the justice of regulations which would expedite the unloading of cars.
 Car shortage in the west will be taken up during the conference.

ORPHANS SUFFER SEVERE EPIDEMIC
 OF THE MEASLES
Seventeen Gases Recorded In West End Asylum
 Whooping Cough Severe

An epidemic of measles that num- bered IT victims in the Bridgeport Protestant Orphan Asylum before Christmas, has been followed by a mild epidemic of whooping-cough, which is believed to have been check ed after hard work by the officials and attendants of the institution. There are only two cases of wf1ooping- cough at the present time and these are closely isolated.
 While inclined to avoid publicity on the affair today, Mrs. Mary Bart lett the superintendent, admitted the extent of the past sickness. Credit has been given her for strenuous efforts to check the spread of both measles and whooping-cough, which was con- tracted from unknown sources.
 Every emp1oye of the institution worked vaHantly night and day with the little ones and to their faithful care to a great extent, is credited to- day the fact that no fatalities have resulted.

A CLEAR COMPLEXION Buddy Cheeks-Sparkling Eyes Most Women Can Have. Says Dr. Edwards, a We'll Known
 Ohio Physician.

 These tablets are wonder-workers on the liver and bowels, which cause a normal action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter that ones system collects.

WASHINGTON IN GRIP OF STRIKE
 BY TR0LLEYMEN
Thousands Walk As Trac- tion Operations Come To
 Virtual Standstill.

Washington, March 6.-5The capital of the United States realized fully today that it had a street car strike on its hands.
 When the companies began running cars this morning with the few men who stuck to their posts and recruit crews of inspectors, clerks, mach1n1StS and former employees, they managed to give a service equal to about 25 per cent of the normal. The worst rush was between the hours of and 10 o'clock when thousands of folk move to their work. The few cars operat- ing were hopeless1y overcrowded at every stage of their trips and tens of thousands walked. Many trudged down the main avenues, every avail able conveyance was pressed into ser vice, jitney 'busses were brought from Baltimore and staxicabS, motor trucks and even horses and buggies were pressed into service.
 So far the strike has proceeded qui- etly and without violence.
 Conferences between the strike lead CTS, the railway company heads, the board of commissioners which governs the District of Columbia and repre- sentatives of the department of labor were in progress virtually all night and continued today. There was no result in sight this morning, though some of those concerned expressed confidence that some sort of an agree ment would be reached during the day.
 The men demand a minimum wage of 30 cents an hour and 10 hours work within 10 consecutive hours. One company pays 12 1-2 cents an hour and the other pays 25 cents.
 The men contend that by reason of interrupted runs so arranged to meet the rush of traffic to be practically on duty Is to Is hours to get in a days work.
 The railway company heads main tained that the strike w3 called vir- tuaIly without warning early Sunday morning. Many public service cor porations, such as the telephone com pany and the lighting company, brought out their own trucks to dis tribute their employees. Large motor trucks are used regularly by the post office department here to collect malls and distribute carriers to their routes and there was no interruption in that service
