Swear In Fifteen
Special Deputies
to Watch Reservoirs

Fifteen special deputies have been
sworn in by County Sheriff Simeon
Pease and are guarding the reser-
voirsf and other property OF the
Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. The men
are working in sections Of five and
these are under the direction of dep
uties Frederick Perry of WestpoTt,
William H. Gould of Fairfield and
Mills Tomlinson Of Stratford.
The action was taken at the re-
quest of the Hydraulic Co., which
will pay the guards. Officials of the
company feared that in the present
crisis SOME crank who sympathizes
with the German cause might try to
destroy the city water system. So
grave is the situation regarded by
the Hydraulic Co. that the watchmen
have been ordered to be on constant
duty. They must not go into any
house or stay under shelter while on
the watch. The deputies in the diff
ferent sections were instructed to
have their men divided into three
watches of eight hours each.

A popular belief to the effect that
the Hartford ambulance company is
to be disbanded when the new

formally organized, and that those
Hartford men who had previously en-
listed will be discharged from service
was DECLARED unfonnded this morn
ing.

SEEK HOME FOR
BABY ORPHANED
BY WAR ABROAD
Mother Dies Here Following
Loss of Husband in Zone
of Fighting.

Who would like to adopt a blue
eyed war baby, with locks of gold
and smile that radiates sunshine? His
| mother died from tuberculosis and
mental illness brought on by worry
| over the husband from. whom she
has not heard a single word since the
outbreak of the war in Hungary.
The mother, Mrs. Rose Macy Ba-
log, just before the war came to this
country from Hungary with the boy,
intending to earn enough money to
send to her husband that he might
come over to America. She worked
hard in the factories of the city and
was employed for a time in Warner
Brothers plant, living at 422 Spruce
street.
When the war broke out the patient
little woman wrote numerous letters
to her husband in Hungary, but failed
to receive any answer. She was
heartbroken and believed he must
have been killed in one of the early
battles.
Her health broke down under the
strain and she soon suffered from con-
sumption She was sent to the sani-
tarium at Meriden, Nov. 20, Of last
year and the little son became an in
mate Of the Fresh Air home; in Fair
field Shortly after her arrival at the
sanitarium Mrs. Balog's mind gave
way and she died at the institution
last night.

ties board, who has had charge of the
boy, is 1oath to send him to an or
phan's home. She will keep him for
several weeks in an effort to find
someone wiling to adopt him, and is
trying to interest Hungarian societies
in giving funds from their treasures
for the support and. education of the
boy.

NON-SUIT DAMAGE ACTION,

George Burns. the local contractor,
was freed from responsibility of injur-
ing William J. Mckay of White
Plains, n. Y, when Judge Bennett in
the superior court granted a motion
for non-suit in the $4,000 action
brought by Mckay against Burns and
William H. Jennings of Fairfield. The
motion was made by Attorney Will
liam A. Redeem counsel for Burns,
and applied only to the contractor
This left Jennings as the sole defend
ant in the suit when the trial was re-
sumed before the court and jury. Nc
Kay claims to have been seriously in
jured when he was struck by an auto
mobile at Main and Elm streets Oct
5, 1915.

Rush For Citizen
Papers Continues

The rush on the part Of aliens to
seek citizenship in this country con-
tinued at the county courthouse to-
day. Over 1873 applications have
been received so far this month, a
number which breaks all previous
monthly records. Naturalization Clerk
NJ. J.. Flanagan makes an appoint
ment with each applicant SO there
will be no confusion.
Although the exact figures could
not be obtained it was said that over
three-fourths of the applicants are OF
German or Hungarian birth. The ap-
plicants think If they take out their
first papers it will save them from
trouble in the event Of war. although
the fact of having first papers would
not give them standing as citizens or
this country.

William D. Sisson needs no introduce
ton to the public, who keep in touch
with the doings Of the mechanical and
engineering world, as his inventive
genius has been turned to good ac-
count In countless instances, but the
master invention Of his career is just
now coming into it's own In the shape
Of The Deep Sea Diving Machine"
The fact that for many years past
an annual loss Of $350,000,000 is sus-
tanned by the worlds commerce due to
the sinking Of vessels by collision or
other causes and the further fact that
less than one per cent-of these cargoes
are ever recovered started Mr.. Slsson
on his mission to produce machine
that would revolutionize present ship
ping conditions, be q source of profit
to the shippers and himself and at the
same time great boon to the world
at large.
The result of his efforts is now on
exhibition at the Beers Building, 993
Broad Street, where the general pub
lie il invited to see the Sisson Deep
Diving Machine in operation. This
model Is one-fifth the size of the ma
chine, but every detail is present and
the operation Of the machine is lucidly
demonstrated by Mr. @. A. Henderson
and his assistants
In the first I'VE days more THAN 81
900 Bridgeporters have visited the ex-
hibition. among them some of our
most expert designers and mechanics
and the machine has stood the "acid-
st''Lmany, have figured out the
pressures and stresses and concluded
that when Mr.. Sisson claims that his
machine can be operated successfully
at q depth Of 1000 feet under water,
he is conservative in the extreme.
The sisson Deep Sea Diving Machine
has been designed to fill lthis long felt
want. It is a hollow steel sphere 2
feet inches in diameter, equipped
with a powerful electric motor, which
actuates the necessary pumps, propel-
lers and a drill with which to drill
holes through the sides Of steel yes
sells. Also a thrust arm with which
to insert lifting hooks in the holes that
have been drilled, and four (4) electro
magnets, operated in pairs, each mag
net having holding power Of about
four tons. These electro magnets
properly operated permits the Diving
Machine to creep along the sides OF a
vessel, reaching predetermined point
at the will of the operator, drilling
holes and inserting the necessary lift
ing hooks. 5F~e 9re
The machine is equipped with an air
supply system (rnore or iess) similar
to that OF the Submarine. An air tank
containing sufficient air to supply two
operators is located on the machine.
The air enters the machine at q pre-
determined rate per minute, that Is, a
sufficient amount to supply two men.
It II being continuously discharged By
air pumps, in this manner, maintain
ing normal atmospheric conditions in
side Of the machine IN depths down
to 1000 feet.
Two propellers in rear and bottom
Of machine permit It to be navigated
IN any direction at the will OF the op-
orators. A SUFFICIENT amount OF light
II furnished by six (6) 5000 candle
power nitrogen lamps.
