MIGRANTS ROUNDED
 UP THROUGHOUT
 CITY; ONE COLLAPSES

Excitement was caused in the city court room this morning when Will fam Steele, ohe of the victims of the police crusade waged last night on vagrants who sleep in barns. suddenly began shouting and created a great disturbance when seized with al spell of delirium tremens. Other prisoners in the pen sought to get out of the vicinity of Steele while policemen edged their way in and removed him.
 After treatment by members of the emergency hospital staff, Steele was removed to Hillside home for further treatment. In the future persons arr rested who are badly intoxicated and on the verge of collapse will be taken to Hillside home instaed of being placed in cells to sober up.
 Fines, jail sentences, and suspended sentences were imposed upon the IT vagrants who were rounded up by the police last night for sleeping in the hay lofts of barns throughout the city.

Eight New Cases Cause Re- newal of Vigilance By De- partment of Health Scouts -Re-o1 Streets in Neigh borhoods Where New Gases Have Arisen.

With a fresh outbreak of poliomye- litis' reported in Bridgeport, declared by. Dr. Abraham Sophian not to be alarming but requiring the utmost care to prevent spreading. the request of the superintendent of schools, Dr. Samuel Slawson, for an advance in the opening date to Sept IS, has been refused, and additional precautions to prevent recurrence of epidemic here are taken.
 Eight new cases reported on Satur- day and Sunday. have been declared positive. They are:
 David Jacobs, two and one-half years old, 360 Pine street; Gabriel Crooks, same age, 121 Denver ave nue; Ruth Rossinoff, two years old. 2O06 Main street; Elizabeth Young. four, Madison avenue; Edmund Kurek, four years old, 1S4 Wade street; Ed ward Schwefkert, 20 months old. 1871 Fairfield avenue; boy named Row land of Hanover street, and a boy from Botsford, who was also removed to Hillside.
 Dr. Sophian today sent nurses into the newly infected districts with inc structions to ascertain as Tar as possi- ble the exact manner of infection. Director of Public Works Jacob A Courtade was asked at once to 1e-oii the streets surrounding the places in which the disease reappeared. i Explaining the recurrence Dr. So- phian said that Friday was a day of great depression highly favorable to the forcing of diseases. He believes that the public's susceptibility to polio- myelitis is greatly reduced and that epidemic will not flourish again hero though it may do so if the bars are let down on the general assembly of children with the reopening of schools.
 T have noticed that many picnics and other public gatherings have been advertised. Bridgeport is recovering from it's epidemic, but too much stress cannot be laid upon the urgent neces- sfty of keeping up the barriers against this disease. Persons must keep their children away from others. The public must exert this precaution themselves if they do not want a re- own carelessness."
 LIT. foOpIlldH, WHOSe di1nOuHceO IT, tention of leaving this city on We'd nesday, has in no manner changed his plans for departure to Kansas City, other than to agree to accompany the Joint committees of charities and health departments to Boston and elsewhere about the country on their inspection of clinics and contagious disease hospitals.
 With the opening of the new bac- astrological laboratory in the First Bridgeport National Bank building to- days inspections of milk and of blood samples and the filing of reports from physicians on diphtheria, sore throat cases and other diseases will be thor oughly effected.
 A meeting of the health board held
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-09-11

Ida M Tarbell, who is known to newspaper and magazine readers as one of the foremost leaders of thought among American women, announced to-day her active support of Presi- dent Wilson. "He is,'' she declared, "the first real Progressive leader that this decade has produced"
 Without sighting MT. Hughes, for whom she expressed great respect, she said, Certainly he has not as yet giv- en any sign of understanding or sym pathizing with the thing we call Pro- gressiveism and, as far as I can see, President Wilson is the only leader we have who does"
 Speaking to Dr. George Dorsey, of Chicago, who was an ardent supporter of Roosevelt in 1912 and the author of the Chicago Tribune's editorials in behalf of the Bull Moose candidacy, Miss Tarbell said:
 "A Progressive of President Will sons type is big enough to see that the issues of 1916, because of the worldwide shake-hp in the last three years, must be different from those of 1912. There is something bigger to talk about to-day than the 'referen- dum.' New issues are bound to come t3 the front. perhaps with startling fapidity and frequency. President Wilson can bring to these issues his tremendous experience. The evolution in thought and action of the last four years may be as nothing to that which is to take place in the next four. Does any American to-day see bigger, better or more dispassionately or clearer than President Wilson? l believe that Progressives will see this; if they don't it is reflection on their intelligence"
 '"The great trouble with MT. Roose- velt," continued Miss Tarbell, "is his out of -dateness. He does not and never has really understood what the IProgressives are fussing about and there never has been one of them who could tell him 50 that he could get the idea. Many of them recognized
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-09-11

this but they wanted the asset of his extraordinary personality. They've got what was inevitable for their con- promise"
 Miss Tarbell, in describing Presi- dent Wilson No Dr. Dorsey, said that he differs from Col. Roosevelt in his whole conception of the function of the politician. She believes President Wilson has the true conception of the first duty of leadership of the people ito find out just how long an upward step they are ready for and then to step.''
 The Presidents foreign policy meets with Miss Tarbell's unqualified ap- prova1. President Wilson," she said, "has proved his fitness to lead the cause of progressive civilization. True, he has not yet had time to convert the man who cries for his pound of flesh, nor alter the views of him who fails to see that bloody war is but the primitive expression of savage weak ness promoted by the ignoble desire of conquest or revenge. But he has forced respect for neutrality and he has handled his delicate Mexican in- heritance with tact and wisdom"
 To her associates in the Progress sive movement, of which she was a conspicuous part, Miss TarbelPs ad- vice may come, to put 1t mildly, as a surprise, for she tells them frankly that President Wilson-"our great est ogressive''-should have been that r1rty's candidate last June. He would have understood the Progress sives," she said, which MT. Roose- welt did not.'
 Discussing with the frankness that characterized her world famous writ ings about Standard Oil. Miss Tarbell declared that Roosevelt could have had the Progressive party convention at Chicago ''solid for Hughes, if he had wanted it, but in his chagrin at the refusal of the Republican Conven- ton to nominate him, he threw over his followers"

CAUTION NECESSARY, BUT THERE'S NO OCCASION FOR ALARM, ASSERTS .DR. S0PHlAN AS TO POLIOMYELITlS

at the offices today considered the ap- plication of Dr. Walter F. Brown of Boston, to fill the newly created office of assistant health officer. Dr. Brown visited this city last week. He is rec commended by Dr. Sophian for the po- sition, which will include the careful watch for epidemics. Dr. Brown has heretofore been a member of the Mas sachusetts state board of health and is a qualified epidemiologist.
 The board also considered B. J. Wright, heretofore connected with the Fairfield County Farm bureau and the Unitel States Cooperative Farm bu- reau of the department of agriculture, as candidate for the position as milk inspector. It is understood that both men will be accepted, to report early next week.
 Dr. A. c. Knapp,whose services with the city have been on the half-time basis, will be assigned to direct and exclusive inspection of slaughter houses.
 It was announced today that here after system of comparative chartine on reportable diseases will be installed, so that the epidemiologist may at any time compare the number, of cases of disease in the city with the same day, week or month of the preceding year. With septic sore throat added to the list of reportable diseases every effort is to be made to prevent streptococcic infection in this city.

10 CENTS Goes ON
The PRICE OF COAL

Boom! up goes the price Of coal.
Beginning today, according to an
nouncements already made. the price
rises ten cents ton. This applies
TO all grades. There also will be Il
further increase Of ten cents a ton
a month for the three succeeding
months making an increase OF forty
cents ton altogether In the case
Of pea coal. this increase does not
begin until August and the total rise
in this grade. consequently, will be
but thirty cents. The increase is de-
clared to be due to the higher price
that the mine owners are charging.
In other years Il has been custo-
mary for dealers TO lower the price
OF coal about fifty cents ton in
April, before any raise was made
during following months. but this
year the usual increase is made
without any previous decrease.
