Tests FNear Side"
Stop Suggestion

Bridgeport is likely to have the
near side system of trolley stops.
Experiments are now being conducted
under the direction of the Connecticut
Co. officers and the trustees in New
Haven: If successful there, the
scheme will be adopted in other cities,
tnclpding Bridgeport.
1t has been the system heretofore to
stop cars only on the far side of
streets or at white poles. which are
usually so placed except at intersee-
tons of railway tracks. and fire house
crossings. "
1t is the belief of many traction ex-
perts that the NEAR side'' crossing is
more convenient because, of the neces-
sary halts for passing vehicles, etc.
In New Haven, check on both sys-
TENS is being. kept and comparisons
will be made soon to decide upon
adoption or rejection, of the suggested

Complain That Local
Merchants Will Not
Aid Navy Recruiting

Complaint was made Saturday to
the Navy Department at Washington
that Bridgeport. merchants refuse to
place recruiting advertisements in
their windows.
A report was sent from the local
recruiting office on Cannon street.
The names of several Main street bus
mess places were mentioned.
1t is granted that merchants do not
have to comply with requests, accord
ing to the complaint but the same
question that arose when sailors were
barred from dance halls in certain
cities, is likely to arise.

LOCAL ITEMS.

The recent numbers of the Fair banks papers contain lively accounts of an interchange of amenities be- tween John L. M'Ginn and Attorney De Journel. While the "bank" cases were pursuing their belated way through the courts, M'Ginn asked de Journel whom he was re- ferring to when he became particu- larly severe in his strictures. De Journel replied II mean you". Thereupon M'Ginn told him he was damned liar. Bunnell at once adjourned the court, and after re- cess announced that he fined M'Ginn one hundred dollars for contempt. But that was not all of it. Outside the court de joutnel asked M'Ginn to take back the allegation that he
 (de Journel) was a liar, and M'Ginn refused. without more ado de Jour- rel plugged M'Ginn in the eye, M'Ginn at the following session ot the court notified the Judge of the assault, but no erport is made as to what happened then.

ATHENS, Dec. 3.-The situation here is less alarming owing to a compromise upon the part of both the Greek ministers and the French Admiral who is acting for the AL lies. &
 Du Icournet today agreed to ac- cept six mountain batteries for service with the Allies instead of ten as heretofore, and withdrew the gen. eral armament demands which the ministry baked at from the first.
 This means however that the mountain batteries will be con ceded only under the protest of Greece and the announcement that the entire policy which is enforced under duress shall not be used
