 incoming president of the United
 States. Secret service men. troops of the regular army. detectives and po-

 President Wilson as he rode to and from the capitol building. The roofs of buildings overlooking Pennsylvania avenue were guarded by plain clothes men. The roof of the capitol was similarly under surveillance.

The plans call for the raising of the

extending sixty feet or more to the

BRIDCEP0RTERS
AT AVER, MASS.
WILL NOT VOTE


Bridgeport voters who are in the
army at Camp Devens in Massachu-
sets or in other places probably will
not have the privilege of voting in
the coming city election. Under the
present election laws of the state, ac-
cording to William Lounsbury. regis
trar of voters, there is no provision
for a soldier voting except to present
himself at the polls in the district
where he is registered and cast his
vote in person.
1t is extremely unlikely that all of
the Bridgeporters in camp entitled to
vote will be able to obtain leave of
absence to come home election day,
and as there is no ether provision for
voting except the general law, they
will be unable to take part in the
election.
How many men from this city en-
titled to vote are in the service of the

and drew the distracted girl away by
main force.

He checked himself, caught up a

presently he returned, she had not
moved. He fastened her scant ward
robe and few trinkets in blanket roll,
and led her out around the house,
carefully keeping himself between her
and the blanket-covered form on the
ground near the door. He had brought
her own and her brothers ponies to
the back of the house. He dashed the
bundle on the dead mans saddle,
lifted the girl upon her pony, and
mounted his mare.
