''KIND STRANGER" R0BS WATERBURY
 MAN IN EAST END
Lures Him to Dark Spot Ali ter Promising to Find Fur
 nished Room for Him.

Lured to old Mil Green last night by aNyoung man who promised to find a room for him. John Foster, 50 years old of 21 Judge street, Water bury, was held up with a pistol, blacktacked and then robbed of $35. When he recovered his senses he made his way to the second precinct police station and made complaint but could only give a meager descrip- don of his assailante.
 Coming to this city last night from the Brass City, Foster went to the Atlantic hotel and asked for room but was told that all the rooms in the hotel had been taken and he could not be accommodated. He then went into the bar room and while there met ay oung man attired in gray suit After having several drinks, he told the young man of his inability to procure a roeln for the night and his acquaintance said that he could get a room for him.
 In company with the stranger, Fos- ter left the motel and the pair walked up Eas. Main street. At Old Mill Green, another man apparently un- der the influence of liquor met them and walked across the green in com pany with them. Suddenly he lurch- ed ahead of Foster and drawing a revolver, cautioned Foster to remain silent.
 The other man then struck Foster over the head with billy, knocking him unconscious. After rif1ing his pockets they left him on the ground, taking with them Fosters cash. of $35 and hfu watch Tn crossfpr fha porl. they dropped the watch and 1t was later recovered.

DEMOCRATS SEE
 PARTY VICTORY
 IN CONNECTICUT
Local State Committeeman Are Enthusiastic at Fall
 Prospect.
ORGANIZATION PLAN
 WILL HELP GREATLY
Permanent Bureau in Charge of Organizer To Be
 Maintained.

Enthusiastic over the campaign prospects in Connecticut, Bridgeport: three members of the Democratic State Central Committee, returned las, evening from Morris Cove, where they attended what all termed "the best committee meeting ever held by the Democratic state organization" The Bridgeport committeeman, Assessor William F. Russell, former Alderman Patrick H. Brady and Michael J. Clab- by, today expressed complete satis- faction with the outlook as reported by representatives from all parts oi the state.
 Everything looks rosy for a Dem- ocratic victory in this state," said MT, Russell. 'I never before witnessed such enthusiasm at Democratic gathering as was evinced at yester- days meeting. Everybody is work ing to perfect an organization that will aid in rolling up big vote for President Wilson and the state Demo- cratic ticket.'
 MT. Russell was much pleased with the plan, approved by the commit tee, for the establishment of an or ganization bureau in charge of a per manent secretary. The secretary will act as a state organizer and give es- pecial. attention to the formation of Democratic Sclubs in various towns National Committeeman Homer g. Cummings, State Chairman David E. Fitzgerald and State Secretary P. B. O'Sullivan, were named a committed to select the organizer who will be paid $2,500 a year.
 "It was a revelation to a lot of Democrats, the harmony and enthu- siasm that marked the meeting" said Committeeman P. H. Brady today Especially interesting was MT. Cum mings' remarks on the outlook na- tionally, while the reports from vari- ous committeeman showed that Dem- ocrats of Connecticut are evincing a lively interest in the campaign just beginning.
 "Judging from the talk heard yes- terday and the enthusiasm tha. was so markedly manifest, there IS ntt.e doubt in my mind that Connecticut will be found in the Democratic col umn this year"
 Committeeman M. J. Clabby was equally pleased with the prospects as reported to the meeting.
 "It was the best meeting I ever attended as state central committee man." he said. There was real en- thusiasm and everywhere an air of MT. Cummings explana- ton of what the national committee Is doing in the way of organization prov ed a real incentive to the party york CTS state-wise, and I believe we will have a formidable organization in in short time. Things look exceptionally bright for a big Democratic victory"
 The committee voted to hold the state conventin at New Haven on Sept. 19 and 20. Former Congress- man Thomas l.. Reilly, of Meriden. will be temporary chairman.

Germany is Ready
 For Commerce Race

Berlin. Aug. 25-Germany is now ready for the competition on the sea which will take place after the war, declares Phillip Heineken, director of the North German Lloyd steamship line. in an interview in the Politiken today. Every ship destroyed during the war has been replaced, he said, ana the North German Lloyd line has built four new passenger steamers which have been named the Zeppelin. Hindenburg, Kolumbus and Muen- chen. The company. he added, also intends to build large number of freight steamers of a uniform type in order that when the war is over the company may send out a swarm of steamers with great rapidity.
 The submarines Deutschland and Bremen. said Herr Heineken. would not be used after the war, as the cost or their operation was too great.

The meat inspection now is inadequate. he said.
 Money has been arranged for by the mayor, for the salary of a super vising milk inspector, who will re- Heve Dr. Knapp of this branch of his work. The man who is expected to get the job is now connected with the Department of Agriculture.
 Mayor Wilson received a recom- mendation from the health hoard that a city hospital be provided for as soon as possible It was suggested that the institution could be expanded into a general hospital if necessary. A bond issue may be asked in November.
 At the meeting of the board of health yesterday afternoon, resolu- tions were adopted that after Nov 3 no raw milk may be sold except in botttles. April was set as the date l. (Continued on Page Two.)

BOTH SIDES

 STAND FIRM
Employees and Executives of Railway Systems Called to White House For Fur ther Conferences With President.
Men Say They're Unchanged
 in Attitude Toward Will
 sons Plan For Settlement -Execusives Silent on Outlook.

Washington, Aug. 25-The railway strike negotiations re- solved themselves today, out wardfy at least, into a more or less confused state.
 Expressions of optimism from both sides were not so free as they were yesterday and feeling heretofore general among the managers that a plan to include the eight-hour day would be found was not so evident. Some of the railway executives reverted to their prediction that it never would be conceded. The executives were to meet the president this afternoon.
 President Wilson kept his cabinet waiting an hour while he conferred with the four brotherhood heads. All parties to the conference steadfastly declined to say what was talk ed about.
 The four brotherhood heads said on entering the White House that theJ did not know why they had been called by the President. It was un- derstood President Wilson wanted to get their views on legislation under in the future.
 The four brotherhood heads re- mained with the President an hour, and a half but would make no state ment on leaving. President kept the cabinet waiting for an hour to con- tinue his conference with the rail- road men.
 ''The situation, insofar as we are concerned" A. B. Garretson, spokes- man for the employees, later said. "is absolutely unchanged. No complete, concrete proposition to which the rail- roads will agree has been rendered us. Our position is exactly the same as 1t was when we accepted the Presi- dents plan. We have deviated from it in no way whatsoever"
 The brotherhood leaders went from the White House to report to a meet ing of the men but insisted they had nothing particular to communicate.
 w. c. Lee, of the trainmen. gave out copies of an order which he said had been sent by the Northern Pa cific to station agents directing them to get local interests to send tele- graphic protests to President Wilson against settling the controversy by other means than arbitration. The *elegrams, MT. Lee declared, were to be paid for by the railroad and were evidence of what the men character ize as a propaganda against the Pres ident's plan.

PROMINENT BRIDGEPORT
 GIRLS OFFER BLOOD TO
 AID PARALY YSIS VICTIMS

Three wen known Bridgeport young NWomen. survivors of attacks of anter- for poliomyelitis, have offered their blood to be used if a survivors serum 1s found necessary to save the lives of any of the little patients in Hillside Home
 Mrs. Charles H. Heather of 297 Hanover street, known by her family name, Belle Hayden. was one of the first to make the offer, Dr. Virgil P. Gibney, the eminent orthopaedic ex- pert, who is giving advisory aid to the anti-polio fight here, said this noon at meeting of the board of health and advisory board.
 Another volunteer is member of q prominent Bridgeport family, and a graduate of vassar college.
 The willingness of the volunteers to sacrifice their blood was favorably commented upon by Dr. Abraham So- phian. at the meeting, but 1t is un- likely he will accept their offers.
 pr. sophian believes the normal horse serum, which has been used here since the outbreak of the plague. is very efficient. There are many ob- 5ectionable features to a serum of survivors blood. he said, in that the chances generally are that the serum will not be absolutely sterile, Careful examination should precede tho use of such serum. he said.
 The health board and advisory board agreed that Dr. c. w. Hawley, pr. F. W. Stevens, Dr. V. r. Gibney, Dr c N. Haskell and Dr. D.

With the entrance of Sam uel F. Pryor, vice president and general manager of the Rem ington Arms & Ammunition Co.,, into a commanding place in the reorganization of the Thomas B. Jeffery Go. of Ken osha, Wis, it became known here today that the owners of the vast war munitions plant have practically completed plans for the utilization of the great new factories here, as the demand for war subsidies, in the automobile industry.
 MT. Pryor is the active head of all the Remington manufac- tories, of which Marcellus Hart ley Dodge is the president and practically the sole owner. MT. Pryor, formerly a dominant figure in the hardware busi- ness, of late. years has been prominent ia New York bank ing circles.
 In the recent reorganization of the Thomas B. Jeffrey Co.,, makers of both commercial and pleasure motor vehicles, Pryor took a leading part, and today it became known in local manu- featuring circles that this is due to the plans of the Rem ington ownership to devote the great Bridgeport plant to the making of automobiles when the unprecedented contracts for foreign government war supplies run out.
 One of the most interesting details of the extension of the Remington in- terests in this city is the preferment of John c. Stanley, president of the board of police commissioners of this city, and the purchasing agent of the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, branch of the local Remington interests, to the place of president of the American & British Mfg. Co.
 The American & British Mfg. Go. plant of which is in East Bridgeport, near the Remington plants, now is controlled by the Remington inter- ests. MT. Stanley and other represent atives of the Remington plant are df- rectors, as result of the reorganiza- tion of the American & British Mfg. Co. effected on Aug. 2. It became known today that MT. Stanley is the Co.,, a fact that had escaped general notice in the myriad of unconfirmed rumors relative to the expansion and policies of the Remington plants.
 That MT. Stanley has been called upon to assume more extensive duties in the purchasing end of the local Remington plants a,so became known today.
 The general purchasing agent of the Remington Arms & Ammunition Co.,. A. H. Meyerhoff, exercised supervision over both the Arms works and the U. M. C. plant The Arms works purchas- ing agent, Orville P. Palmer, formerly was an assistant to MT. Stanley in the U. M. Co. plant. It is understood that with the resignation of Meyerhoff MT. Stanley has been called upon to take up wider duties.
