Bridgeport, Dec. 16.--With his ves- sel plunging her rails under water in a strong undertow, the captain of the three masted schooner Charles H. Trickey, bound from Kennebec, Me, with a cargo of lumber for the West End Lumber company in Black Rock hailed a passing tug in the outer har- Dor last night and asked to be brought inside. Examination showed that, with the falling tide. the schooner would pound to pieces on the beach and she was quickly pulled ont of danger, being taken to Black Rock today. An other three master bound for New York, was forced to anchor about three miles off the light but rode out the gale in safety, altho sgh frequently being swept by huge waves.
 Five sound tugs with tows bound for New Haven. New London and Providence for New York were forced shelter in the harbor from the snowstorm which compelled the submarine G-5 to suspend test trips outside the breakwaters. The tug Addae V Second of NOrwall1 started for that port but was forced back.
 Shortage of coal at the power plant of the Connecticut company threatened to cripple the trolley ser vice of the city and this was only averted, officials said. by the timely arrival of boat load.

EVADES GERMAN RAIDER
Steamship Chicago Within 15O Miles of Warship Seeking to Destroy Allies Commerce, Passengers Say.

 The bulletin was put up on Decem- Der and to the surprise of the pas sengers was torn down five minutes later The Chicago then detoured, and this change of course, together with the heavy snow storm yesterday, accounted for the delay.

TOO BUSY TO MARRY
-"asa1t Georgia. Man Mil Not Be Too Busy to Explain to Court Alleged Violation of Mann Act

Hartford, Dec. 16.-An attractive appearing little southern girl visited the office of United States District Attorney Spellacy yesterday and told a story of her romance with a man which had brought him into the tolls of the federal officers The girl was 16 year old Maude Page of Sanders vile, Ga, who had been brought north by Crumbwell Jackson, a man much older than herself, and who will be taken before United States Commis- sioner Wright in New Haven, Monday, on charges of violation of the Mann act. The girl was accompanied to Hartford from Bridgeport by Miss Hewitt supervisor of the Bridgeport Protective society, which is at present caring for the Page girl.
 Jackson and the girl were arrested in Bridgeport, December 1. by local officers and held for the government authorities. From the girls story it appeared that Jackson had promised to marry her several times and really did go so far as to get a marriage license in Georgia, but it was said he was not particular whom he married and once suggested to another girl that she marry him and he would erase Maude's name from the license and insert the other girls name
 Evidently he met with a, rebuff. for about three weeks ago he induced Mande to leave Georgia with him and they came to Bridgeport, making several stops on the way The girl says every time she asked Jackson why he did not marry her he said he did not have time.
