Everett Mass, July 1s.-Ahbert U. Dow. of Bridgeport, Conn, has been sentenced to serve one year in Jail on A charge of reckless driving and pay tm ffne of $50 for drunkenness, by the Nocal police court. He appealed the nsenteuce and was released in bonds.
 Jane f9 Dow driving a high-pow- cred yellow racing car came from the direction of Newburyport along the turnpiloe at a rate of speed which .Etartled ether autoists on the road. word was sent ahead to the Maiden and Everett police to arrest him but he managed to evade the traffic eff1- lcers.
 He swung through this city at a Nerridc rate of speed and was accom- panied by a young wednan, On reach znsa the Revere Beach boulevard Dow headed his machine for the shore re- Bor< He struck two machines in suc- ,cessien, knocking both into the gutter.
 This 6aafed to decrease his pace and .a thix4f car which stood in his path was reduced to scrap heap and the loperakor ha1rfed through the air. The lnext macfHne, a big touring car, oc- Icupied by four young women, which lDOw struck head-on, was wrecked by the impact of the collision and Dow's machine suffered a like fate.
 It was at flrst thought the woman who was riding with Dow, had been Hf1aed but it later developed she had Nfed froxn the scene. Dow was taken to a hospital suffering from jagged sxfps in his cheek and neck which ex- Nens7ed to his mouth.

Fiance Summoned to
 Colors, Miss Newman
 May Be Wed In South

Miss Natalie Newman, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Christian M. Newman of 825 Laurel avenue, is speeding upon her way to New Orleans, ac- companied by her parents that her marriage with Lieut.. A. A. Corwin, U. S. N., may be effected before the departure of his ship to a station Somewhere In the Atlantic"
 Although the engagement of Miss Newman, who is one of the most popular of the younger social set in Bridgeport to Lieut.. Corwin was made known some time ago, friends of the couple had held the hope that the wedding in this city would be one of the events of the season.
 Miss Newman and her father ar ranged to hasten to New Orleans, hop ing to arrive there tonight. There is a possibility from the tenor of the messages received in this city that
 Miss Newman will be disappointed as government orders may call the ship away before her arrival.
 At the Newman residence today it could not be learned definitely whether train connections were made day which will bring father and daughter together in that city in time to arrange the wedding which of ne- cessity will be accomplished in the utmost haste. I Miss Newman. 2 graduate of the
 Bridgeport High school, is an ac- l complished young woman, always
 active in class work and a leading social spirit of the schools she at-
 tended. Her fiance comes from a well 1 known family resident in Detroit.

CITY EMPLOYES
 MUSN'T SPEAK FOR QUOTATION
Republican High-Ups Get After Subordinate Who
 Expressed Opinion

The political guillotine is to be the fate of city employees who give out honest interviews and express their honest opinion of methods of city management. This fact is certain from the "combing'' a\ high depart ment official received after an inter view from him appeared in The Farmer, Saturday afternoon.
 This official has been put on the pan" and the way administration agents went after him made things particularly uncomfortable. The fact that the interview reflected on work directly under the supervision of John T. King Is perhaps the more reason why no time was lost in telling the official that he was to keep his mouth shut. Because the man hap pened to know what he was talking about and told the truth. made the in- terv1ew the more damaging to the King forces.
 City officials who can, do any talk ing are few and far between ir Bridgeport and they will talk fol publication only on trivial matters iI which the powers have no concern The recent interview hit the solal plexus of the administration so hard that in the gasp for new breath the official was put on the carpet and tho riot act was very distinctly read te him.

Home Guards Assured They Won't Have to
 Do Watchman's s Duty

Home Guardsmen will not be plac- ed on guard duty and will be kept strictly for the duties that would have fallen to the National Guard if 1t remained in the state. While this has been the understanding for some time, it comes ot Bridgeport today, indirectly but none the less officially from Col. Lucien Burpee who is a member of the military emergency board.
 That the morale of the organization could not be preserved by splitting tonpanies up into squads for watch mems work is the opinion expressed by Col. Burpee and since the Con- necticut Home Guard Is to be kept a high class military organization. oth- CTS than it's members will have to be procured to do such police work as the guarding work be.
 Temporarily, however, few Bridgeport plants that are engaged on important government contracts, may get detachments This will continue only until members of the proposed Bridgeport Defense league can be sworn into office and given some training.
 The Home Guardsmen are anxious to get into service and Col. Wilson o1 the Fourth Military district, which |includes Fairfield county is under stood to be anxious % have some ot his men on duty. The members o1 some companies in this district are reported to declared themselves well satisfied by this time with the drill ing, parading and church-going they have done. Like the movie directors they are now crying for "action."

Mystery Over Absence
 Of Saloonkeeper Egan

Much mystery is thrown about the absence of James w. Egan. the popu- lar cafe owner on Faire1d avenue from his place of business, although at St Vincent's hospital it is admitted that a MT. James W. Egan is conned to that institution, and was operated up- on three days ago.
 Clerks in the employ of MT. Egan profess to be ignorant of the where abouts of their employer or the trou- ble which might have taken him tc Ahe hospital.
 Although they greatly deprecate the rumor that is being circulated about the city by reason of the mystifyine attitude of his employees the host ot MT. Egan's friends in this city learn with pleasure today from the hos pitaI that he is rapidly improving The nature of his illness is also kept secret at the hospital.

coy, HOLCOMB | SCORES FIGURES | IN POPULATION

When told of the action of the Senate yesterday in voting unani mously to ask information regarding the census bureaus population esti- mates for the army draft, Governor Marcus H. Holcomb agreed with Sen ator Brandegee of Connecticut, who introduced the bill, and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, that the population figures for the North were padded" Richard M. BisseH, chair man of the Connecticut Council of Defense, while not committing him. self, said that 1t was possible that some of the states did not make the
 registration as carefully as Connec- ticut and were favored by making a small registration"
 The governor was indignant yes terday over the number of men that Connecticut will be called upon to furnish for the first draft army. He declared that the quota of 10,977 al- lotted to this state was unjust and expressed himself as being disgust ed with the attitude of the National Boards towards Connecticut" He said that the population of the state
 has been overestimated by at least 100000 and pointed out the fact that 37 per cent. of the population Is com prised of aliens, some of whom vii | not be required to serve in the army. 'The state is being called upon to furnish between $500 and 4,00O more men for the first draft army than i | should,'' said the governor. '"The state has real population of ap. proximately 1,350,000 men and the l draft officials at Washington have given the state a population of l., i719.623. over 100000 more people
 than there are, in the state.''

 quota of Connecticut should be ap lproximately 1000 men. F 'The Connecticut Council of De fense realized the great injustice tt

 Awaiting Eagerly the Call to Front

Beyond the fact that mobilization of the unfederalized Connecticut Ma tional guard organizations in Bridge port would begin on Sunday next, lit tie concerning the movement of these troops could be learned at the State Armory today.
 They will be fully equipped in this city before going to mobilization camps but it Is likely that the latest and most modern equipment will be furnished before the units depart for France. Opinion prevailing at the armory is that these units will not have long to wait before being shipped across the pond"

Ready For Draft
 Within Next 48
 Hours-Crowder


 Once past the drawing stage, Gen. Crowder pointed out today, the neces- sity for concerted action by the states ceases and the examination of regis trants and their assignment to the army or exemption can proceed in any state without regard to progress made in any other community.
 The 10 states not having completed their preparations for the drawing are Alabama, Illinois. New York, Micfah- gan, Mississippi, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The group includes the states having the largest population, and probably the total population of all 10 represents somewhere near half of the population of the entire country. The fact that reports from only 64s additional dls- tricts of the 4,55s are missing, how ever, shows thaA even in the o states the work is we'll advanced and each has only few districts behind sched- uIe. The entire list may. be conn pleted today.
 Gen. Crowder declined to make any comment On the staten ents made yes 1 terday in the senate attacking the fair ness of the census bureau population estimates on which the allotment of tquotas under the draft law is based. Other officials pointed out, however, that the revised estimates of the cen sus bureau were not intended to fix the | actual population of any community. The estimates are prefaced with the statement that they are for use in con- 1 nection with the draft only, They are
 based on registration and represent the distribution over the country oi men between the ages fixed in the
 draft law. Large figures for many Iof the cities are accounted for by the concentration of men of the draft age fhere for work in munition or other plants.
