QUARTER OF MILLION FOR
 NEW HOUSES
Bridgeport Housing Com mittee Decides to Spend Fortune Immediately For Improvements.

The first dsfinite step by the Bridgeport Housing Co. towards building in Bridgeport was taken this
 morning when the board of directors approved plans for the erection of an enormous structure for the accom- modation of couples and bachelor girls at the corner of Atlantic and. Rennell streets and the expenditure of a guar ter of million dollars in the inlme- diate improvement of the Lashar- Henkel property in Connecticut ave- nue under the Ellen Wilson system. It was decided to abandon work on the Honey Spot road property near the Bridgeport line in Fairfield until spring, that the present work may progress with unabated vigor.
 George Flames, chairman of the housing committee of thee ompany, in outlining the situation today, said that the big structure ill RenneQ street would be begun as soon as a contrac- tor could be procured. This will be built under plans drawn by Architect Lucas of New York, will be ornate in appearance, four stories in height with three room apartments for the accommodation of married couples and two or three girls who may wish to live together. The apartments will be so arranged as. to give the max imum of light and air and will consist of a living room, bed room and bath. The building will include 40 apart ments capable of housing about 100 persons It has been found that there are many persons in Bridgeport who want that clsss of accommodation at an average rental of s20 per month.

 There is no flagman at the cross ing and Logan had driven onto the tracks before he saw that the train, which was late. was bearing down on them.

OFFICIALS MUM ON SOURCES OF INTRIGUE STORY Publication of Knowledge of Border Plot May Halt
 Any Outbreak. CARRANZA'S FOES
 ARE BEHIND PLAN No Americans Involved, Statements From Depart
 ments Assert.

Washington, Oct. 27-War and state departments refused today to disclose the source or specific nature of the information on which Secre- tary Baker last night issued state- ment charging that a bandit attack on American troops in Mexico or on the American border towns has been planned to discredit the governments Mexican policy. They said the chan mel of information through which the report came was so valuable that nothing would be given out that might injure it's usefulness.
 Both Secretary Lansing and Secre- statement that no consideration of the announcement that such a plot had been discovered. ..--
 Secretary Baker declared 1t was "absurd" to suppose that his state ment had been intended to imply that any political interest in the United States desired anything other than peace on the border.
 Such a thing could not be-" he said.
 Asked just what interests he charg- ed were behind the movement, Sec retapy Baker dictated this statement:
 The Mexicaps who oppose the de facto government in Mexico would, of course, be glad to complicate rela- tions between the United States and Mexico and our information is that they think this an appropriate time to do so. The statement made last night by the department ought to dis courage any adventure on their part in that direction.
 Everybody knows that many Mex jeans in this country are constantly agitating against the de facto gov- ernment. Any sympathy there may be on the American side of the bor- der with the movement is wholly from this source.
 ''The only possible suggestion of a political purpose, Gin the war de- partment's statement) is to prevent people in Mexico from creating a dis turbance of political character in furtherance of their own design"
 Later Secretary Lansing issued the following statement:
 ''It was quite correctly reported last night in the statement that Secretary Bakers announcement was inspired by absolutely no political considerations as to this country. Nor does it mean to infer that Americans of any sort are involved in the plot. There are many Mexican refugees in this coun- try who are in1mical to the Presidents Mexican policy who would doubtless consider the present time as ripe for the furtherance of their projects. The silver which is known to have gone from this country to Mexican bandits was not necessarily from Americans Indeed, cannot conceive that there Is any American citizen who is so heart less, so entirely cruel, so wanton as to take a political step that would involve American lives
 "The warning was given simply to protect American lives and property and I have every hope it will be effec- tive"
