 Speaking ot e8plain Ryan it may be said that he is proving an efficient ot- licial. He took the position without experience but 1t seems be possessed the native abi.ity of l peace oil He takes his duties seriously and rg1iiles he k fulfilling public trust.

He has made a number of minor changes for the good oi the department and is always studying how 10 make our limited ser vice more efficient. He makes many little corrections of things that are not just right without entagonizing the one at fault and uses tsct and diplom- aey which brings results without leaving bad feeling

Police Believe They Have Pair of Clever
 Automobile Thieves

Louis Kuntz, 1885 State street, and Monday Suffrin, 1,18S State street, al- legged automobile thieves, were both held in bonds of $1S00 for the superior court, by Judge Frank Wilder, in the city court this morning, for stealing the automobile of F. A. Kendrick, 360 Park avenue, which the latter left outside St. Vincents hospital several weeks ago.
 It developed during the hearing that Suffrin, who owns an auto, recently leased the machine from a New York firm, which he sold to a local business man for $4OO. The police allowed Suf- frin to go at that time inasmuch as the business man would have lost his money had Suffrin been arrested. The latter made restitution and the auto was returned to the rightful owners.
 Kuntz. who is employed by Suffrin, stated in court that he drove Ken = drick's auto to New York at the re- quest of his employer and thought it was owned by Suffrin. The police al- lege the pair stole so many machines in this city that Suffrin opened a gar age in the rear of his homo and had disposed of so many cars in New York that he was believed in that city to be a prominent Bridgeport dealer Tn sec- ond cars.

Petition For Flagman at Hall Street Causes
 Argument in Capitol

Much argument developed yester- day at Hartford when the Public Utilities Commissioner heard the pe- tition of the City of Bridgeport for an order requiring the New Haven road to place fagman at the Hall street crossing. City Attorney William H. Comley appeared for the city and William L. Barnett for the New Ha- ven road.
 The railroad contended that the crossing is private and therefore there is no need for a fagmar. City At torney Comley pointed out the danger illustrated by the accident that oc- cured there several weeks ago when a man was killed
