 Der of New Policemen is Made in the Requisi- ton of BOard,o of Police Commissioners Filed Today. <

 CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION

arose over some petty matter. Kili- nenski left the house ih anger, about 6:S0 o'clock, determined to go home.
 He was under the influence of liquor at the time. and it is believed that he did not know where he was going. He wandered in the direction of the railroad. and started to cross the tracks when he was struck. Neither the hour when he was hit, nor by what train. could be learned.
 The man was struck with such force as to be thrown against the stone abutments of the bridge. and the irn- pact crushed his skull. A broad stain showed this morning where his head had hit.
 His body lay in the snow for sev- eral hours, and was frozen stiff when found by a man walking the tracks at 8 o'clock this morning. Medical Ex- aniner William H. Donaldson of Fairfield. was notified. and after viewing the remains, ordered them removed to the morgue-

FIRE HORSES IN MONTH WILL BE
 BUT A MEMORY

Within a month the chatter of the fire horses hoof will be but a mem ory to Bridgeporters Time has fore ed these faithful brutes aside, to be replaced by mechanical invention, and the last six remaining horses which a few years ago were the pride of the city's fire department-are to be sold to the highest bidders.
 Currying and feeding horses will be eliminated from the f1reman's daily duties, but will be replaced with metal polishing and cleaning engines. The city. through the Board of Con- tract and Supply, made it's last requi- sition for fire department horses to- day, and 75 bushels of oats will be bought to feed them until the city is ready to dispose of their services.
 Upon the arrival of six Robinson pumping engines next month, the Bridgeport fire department will be completely motorized.

Discovery of mans body horribly battered and mangled, on the west bound tracks of the New Haven road. under the Brewster street bridge, early this morning, gave rise to mur- der theories which were only dis pelled after careful investigation by detectives had proven the victim to have been killed by train.
 The corpse was taken to the city morgue, and there was identified. about g o'clock. by Mrs. Michael Kill menski, of sos Bostwick avenue, as that of her husband. It was she who told the polce that her husband had met with foul play. and she was with difficulty later convinced that the man had met with an accident.

CABARET TENDS
 MUST PAY A WAR . TAX NEW YEARS

Patrons of cabaret entertainments New Years eve will be subject to a war tax in all places where there is a reservation of chairs or admission charged, or where the price of the dinner served includes such charges. It is not expected, however, that this will detract materially from the usual New Years celebration.
 In cabarets the tax is somewhat higher than for theater admissions, according to rulings made by the h. ternal Revenue bureau and which have been received at the Bridgeport Cffice.
