 Second Lieutenant J. w. Baisley of Battery F, Branford. Tenth Militia Field Artillery, was at the local ar mory today and yesterday seeking re- cruits. A number of the Coast Ar tillerymen sought to enlist but he re- fused to take them. He made out en- listment papers for Edward l.. Jack son, Charles Murphy, John Delle Valle and Alexander Holmes. The latter is former U. s. field artillery man, has a rating as first class gum ner, expert horseman and pistol shot. The men were examined by Major Frederic J. Adams of the artillery medical corps and will go to Branford this evening to be sworn into the service.

POLICE LOCATE
 THIRTEEN LOST KIDD|ES AT PARK
Detective Sergeant. Peter Hall Earns Blessings of
 Happy Parents.

About the busiest place in the city yesterday, while Bridgeport was cele- brating Independence Day, was the po- lice tent at Seaside park which was located so that all lost children might be taken there. It was made the gem eraI headquarters of all police activi- ties at the park.
 During the day 19 lost children were reported at the tent and of this number 13 were returned by the po- lice. Detective Sergeant Peter Hall was in charge of the tent and made an excellent foster father" for many of the lost "kiddies." Sergeant Hall was kept busy all the day and be- tween bouncing youngsters on his knees and listening to the tales of dis tracted parents searching for their lost offspring, he managed to have scarcely a spare moment during the day.
 The other six children who were re- ported to the tent as being lost were found by the parents or relatives and friends who enlisted in the search.
 A bunch of keys that was found at the park and also an umbrella are now at police headquarters and await iden- tification and claim of the owners.
 Truant Officers James Farnan and Richard Larkin were also stationed at the tents and assisted in looking after the children.

ROGERS COUNCIL .0f K. OF C. WILL BANQUET TONIGHT
Consolidation of All Branch es To Be Completed By
 September.

The last social event of Rogers council, Knights of Columbus, as a distinct body, will be held this even- ing when banquet will be served at The Stratfield to the members. As the merger of the five K. of c. coun- cils in the city is about to be effected, the affair has evoked great sentimen- tai interest.
 James L. McGovern, collector of the port, a charter member of Rogers council, will address the banquetters, telling of the history and accomplish ments of Rogers council. Rev. P. J. McGivney, pastor of St. Charles church, will speak. William Flynn, who organized Rogers council, will be toastmaster. It was expected that James A. Gallivan, congressman from the Twelfth district of Massachusetts would, attend, but he must stay in Washington today to vote on the war revenue bill.
 The banquet will begin at o'clock. An orchestra will play during it. It is expected nearly 800 will be pres ent.
 The work of Rogers council is done, and this evenings banquet will be somewhat in the nature of a celebra- ton. It was instituted June g, 1907, primarily for the purpose Of bringing about consolidation of the K. of c. councils in the city. In nine years, by diIigent effort, it has succeeded in it's object
 The five K. of C.. councils here have voted to consolidate. The proposed merger was confirmed June 24 at De- troit by the national board of direc- tors. Word is now awaited from w. J. Mckinley, of New Haven. the na- .tional secretary. as toe methods of procedure for the merger. It is, ex- pected it will be accomplished by Sep tember.
 When the Rogers council was in- stituted, the K. of c. in this city had 500 members. Now it has more than LIDO. There were 32 in the original Rogers council. This council now has more than 400.
 To the young blood of Rogers coun- cil is ascribed the initiative that pro- cured the K. of c. rooms in Main street and their efforts figured large ly in the acquisition of the new K. of c. home. v
 Some opposition was experienced in putting through the merger, because many of the older bodies believed in retaining the identity of their coun- lcils. Sentiment figured largely in the opposition, but all the councils came to see that everything could be ac- complished more efficiently and with more benefit by consolidation.
 Park City lodge, No. 16a is more than 30 years old, and 1t is possible that the name may be retained for the consolidation. Nothing has been decided, however, and the adopting of a new name is just as likely.

Charges More For ' Board of Parrot
 Than For Person

Whether or not the boaSd for par rot for several days should be greater than that of a human being is the unusual question that was put up to Lieutenant Edward Cronan of the de- tective department today. A Spruce street woman wants s7 for the board of a parrot for less than a week before returning it to it's owner.
 Last Wednesday, the parrot belong ing to F. M. Johnson of 1132 Park avenue escaped from its cage and nothing moro was heard of it until Sunday when it was learned that it was in the possession of Mrs. Lizzie Kirtz of 498 Spruce street. MT. John son went to claim the bird but was told that he would have to pay for it's care and board, a bill of $7.
 MT. Johnson demurred and has sought the aid of the police in getting the feathered creature. He probably will get the bird but after a materially decreased board bill is paid.
