Technically it was reprehensible for those Massa achusetts militiamen to raid Kansas City fruit stores, but other wise it was a rather COmmendable act. The stores invited the treatment they received by suddenly raising prices to the soldiers enc hundred per cent. or more. Under the circum- stances the public naturally fails to say anything harsh about the lads who resented the contemptible act of commercial highwaymen. - Bristol Press

Not Protective.

A free trade policy will dIspIact American labor, dcrease wages and the American purchasing power and will increase pauperism and prevent ouI Iaborers from providing for themselves when old or caring for their parents who may be too old to work. There is not a rate in the Underwood tariff law today that is protective on any indus try in this land.-Exchange

Few women sit gracefully and "un-

too far forward, too straight, or on

stead of relaxing they are taut with
the tension of their nerves.

Roses of all kinds should be thor

Ondaunted by the delay of over two hours in the start of the circus parade, thousands of BridgepOrters, young and old, gathered, on the streets this noon to witness the gorgeous pa geant that is always the forerunner of the magnificent performances of the "Greatest Show on Earth. " Threatening skies and barren dinner tables mattered not, for the parade was surely to be held and many a. youngster went hungry to witness the procession of elephants, camels and the other features that are always n part of any reputable circus.
 Delays in train connections and the bad weather that has been the mis- fortune of the circus folks for the last week are laid as the basis of the late coming of the company which ordinarily strikes Bridgeport in the wee small hours of the morning. These hoIdbacks prevented the holding of the street procession at the stated hour but matter of a few hours rnattered not to those who were bent on witnessing the parade.

EDWIN SHIELDS IS ARRESTED IN
 SAN FRANCISCO Former Bridgeport Theatre Manager Held on Coast
 For Embezzlement. LEFT BRIDGEPORT
 WITH COLLECTIONS As Agent For Adams Fix press Co.,, He's Accused of
 Appropriating $468.

Edwin Shields formerly manager of the Lyric theatre, has been arrest ed in San Francisco for the Bridgeport police. He is charged with having embedded $468 from the Adams Ex- press Co.,, here.
 Shields was manager of the theatre when William Fox conducted it. Be- cause of the great business the ex- press company did with actors and actresses, Shields was appointed agent of the company to collect for it. He is alleged to have taken nearly $500 August 1, 1913, and to have left the city.
 At various times since then the Bridgeport police have heard of his presence in the middle west but al- ways he eluded the police of the cit ies where he was staying. Recently however, Detective Sergeant Peter Hall learned from an actor that Shiel6s was in San Francisco. A let ter to%D- X. Wseits, chief of Spolice in San Francisco / resulted in his ar rest.
 Detective George Fox will go after Shields. The last trip of that length for a Bridgeport policeman was one taken by Captain Charles H. Suck1ey who went to the Pacific Coast after Thomas Sennlar, charged with en- :bezzIement. <

The conservative lead CT, Count Won Westarp, said that MT.
