 FOR AUSTRIANS
 IN BRIDGEPORT

Instructions from Attorney General
 Gregory as to the conduct of subjects of the Austrian empire, now become alien enemies by the declaration of war against Austria-Hungary, have been received by Charles H. Lane. special agent for the Department of Justice in this city.
 In a general way they are similat to instructions issued as regards alien
 Germans, with the exception that freedom of movement, residence and labor Is not restricted. The principal restriction placed upon those who
 give no specific offense is that they
 may not enter or leave the country. Attorney General Gregory calls upon all subjects of Austria resident here to conform to the laws, and as- sure them of freedom of movement within the country while they re.
 main loyal to the United States. Austrians are not to be interned and will not require permits to remain in restricted areas or to work In shops where government work is being done. They must not, however, in- terfere with or become a menace to
 or to the communities in which they or to thee communities in which they reside.

COMPANY DENIES RESPONSIBILITY
 FOR ACCIDENT

A suit for compensation has been filed against the Industrial Service & Equipment Co. of Boston, in which Robert Williams of Stamford, is nam- ed as the claimant. Williams claimed that while riding in a service car hired by his employer, for. the purpose of transporting help to a job in Glenvflle, the driving rain forced the canvas cover from the top of the truck, and Williams in his endeavor to replace the canvas, fell backward, sustaining fracture of the third ver- tebra of his spine.
 The respondent for the company raises the question as to their respon- sibilfty for an accident which hap. pened in an auto truck which they did not own, even though they were pay. ing for transportation. Two weeks has been allowed for the attorneys to file briefs.
