CURRAN DEFIES ALL ORDERS OF
 HEAL I'll BOARD

Defying the Board of Health in all it's orders, William Curran, a dairy man, of Stratfie1d road, refused to ap- pear before the board last night and as a result a special meeting will be held and Curran will be summoned to appear. If he fails a deputy sheriff will beNsend after him. Curran had previously refused to allow his milk to ke inspected at the demand of health inspectors.
 The board drafted an ordinance pro- viding a fine of s100 as penalty to par ents who neglect theirA children's health. A delegation of painters ap- peared and asked for the passage of an ordinance that will compel tene- ment house owners to strip old paper from the walls before repapering them. Paperhangers are subjected to contagious diseases.

FRENCH CABINET
 CRISIS IS GRAVE

Paris, Nov. 12-The Pain1eve minis try goes without many regrets, after having dragged out it's existence for two months. Its fall had been dis counted for the last two weeks, but the abrupt manner of it's passing came as surprise.
 In view of the present situation at home and abroad the ministerial crisis is regarded as of exceptional gravity. All the morning newspapers agree that what is needed imperatively is a real leader, but they also say Presi- dent Poincare will find it most difh- cult, task to hit upon such a man.
 The name most frequently mention ed is that of former Premier Clemen- ceau. It would be the logical step on the part of President Poincare to of fer him the premiership-inasm as he originated the campaign against Boloisn in parliaMe and it was on that issue that M. Patnleze fell.

 Anxious to Enter Fight
Sammies Returning from Front Line Trenches Have Many Scores to Settle With Huns 3rd Battalion in Action.

With the American Army in France, Tuesday, Nov. f3-(Ry The Associated Press)-Ihe third series of American bat tallons is now occupying the first line and the second Amer Ican attachments to enter the trenches have returned to their billets. The relief was accom- plished on a brilliant starIit night without the knowledge Of the Germans.
 Included among Sthe. returning troops is the company that bore the brunt of the recent raid on the American trenches. At retreat this evening this company lined up In a little muddy street in a village nesting under a hill some miles from the front. Their clothes were caked with mud and the roofs and fences nearby were hung with wet blankets and equipments.
 Openings here. and there in the ranks showed how many men had been killed, wounded and made pris- oner in the trench fight. After the company was dismissed an officer Of the battalion watched the men splash off through the mud and said:
 There goes the scrappiest bunch of soldiers in France. They are mad all through and are just biding their time till they get a chance to repay the Germans for what happened to their comrades. They will get their revenge before this war is over. You can depend on that''
 The second return battalions today were going through the same series of bathing and cleaning: as the first detachment The men are to enjoy several days of rest before taking up the training work again.

GET RICH QUICK
 SCHEME COSTLY FOR MRS. BROWN

Show me $100 and I'll give you a ten-spot,'' was the peculiar request of an unknown negro to George Murray, of 623 Housaton1c avenue, last night, and because George, in his anxiety to earn 8 little easy money" went the stranger one better, he is minus the sum of $12o, today.
 According to the story he told De- tective Captain Edward Cronan this morning, George at first spurned the negro's invitation, but when the bo- nus offer was increased to SIS, he &C., cepted, and went to Mrs. Brown, from whom he borrowed $120.
 This roll he flashed before the ne- gro, who promptly paid over the s15. He then asked Murray to change $20 bill, and Murray was about to do so when the negro snatched the entire amount from his hands and darted down Housatonic avenue toward the railroad station, disappearing in the darkness.
 The affair promised to become com plicated this forenoon, when Mrs. Brown telephoned Captain Cronan and said that Murray had stolen the $120 from her. Investigation con- vinced the captain that this was not true, however.

SUSPICION OF
 FOUL PLAY IN
 CASE OF NEGRO

Indications that foul play is sus- peeted in connection with the death of an unidentified negro who suc- eunbed to opium poisoning at St. VinceHt's hospital, early this morn ing, appear in the fact that the hos- tpitai authorities are referring the ease to Coroner John J. Phelan.
 The victim was found lying uncen- sciets, yesterday, in room in the boarding house conducted by Mrs Margaret Modosky, at 532 Broad street, and was at first thought to have been overcome by illuminating gas. Later, symptoms of opium poisoning developed, giving rise to the theory that the man had taken an overdose of the drug.
 Every effort was made to save his life, but without success, and death resulted today. At the hospital, no information beyond the fact that the man is supposed to have died of opium poisoning, was given out, it being stated that the case was in Coroner Phelan's hands.
 The coroner, this afternoon, said that he had up to that hour received no formal report of the matter though he felt certain that foul play must be suspected if the case is being turned over to him.

GOVERNMENT IS C0NCENT NTRATINC
 ALL GOLD COIN

Efferts of the government to pro- tect the gold reserve of the country has resulted in the almost total dis appearance of geld coins from the coffers of the local banks. In addi-' tien to concentrating the gold reserve in federal reserve banks the govern ment has requested the non-usage of the gold coins as Christmas presents this year.
 Liberty bonds are suggested as ap- pfepriate substitute for gold coins as Cristmas gifts.
 According te prominent local bankers it is necessary te the we'll be- ing of the standing of the United States as a financial center that ade- quate protection be given at the pres ent time te the gold resources of the country.
 The matter of concentrating as far as possible all gold in. federal re- serve banks is adopted by. the gov ernment to prevent gold from event. ually finding its way to foreign ceun- tries as holiday gift.

will day the situation before Admin istrator Garfield at Washington
 A statement from Chairman Siemon, covering the boards investigation, reads in part as follows:
 ''The Committee for the Fuel Ad- nlinistration appointed by the United States government has completed its Investigation of the coal situation in Bridgeport. having interviewed all dealers. This committee was primar- fly appointed to recommend a price to the government for distribution, of all grades of coal in Bridgeport.
 We wish to state that our investi- gation establishes a condition which would not be improved by the com mittee making price ar the present time.- This is due to the fact that the stock of coal on hand. both hard and soft, is not only way below the stock on hand last year, but way be- low stocks carried at this time of the year during normal times.
 Investigation has conclusively shown that due to the reduced arrivals of shipments of coal in the last three months that dealers in this city have been operating at a loss
 'The situation briefly stated then is this: That the City of Bridgeport is not so much interested in a price on coal at the present time as it is in securing an adequate supply through the dealers which will carry them through the winter.
 Where any severe cases of want exist, due to a shortage of coal in families, such parties are asked to report to any of the members of this committee and we will use our very ton.
 By continued cooperation of all we expect to Keep the Wheels a-turning and the Home Fires Burn- ing.'"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-11-14

Bridgeport dealers have been re- quested to buy as much coal as possi- ble and the board, having faith that they will not take advantage of the situation, will not interfere in the mat ter of setting a price.
 'aThe situation in Bridgeport Is worse than any other city in the state, !" said Chairman Siemon today, "and we believe. that our method will prove to be a better way of relieving the situa- ton than by setting a. price" ,Siemon said the shortage at the present time is approximately 25,000 tons less than was in the citySa year ago. at which time there was shortage.
 Bridgeport people will pay any price for coal" said Siemon, because they need it and need it badly, but we firmly trust that the dealers will not charge exorbitan4 prices. The dealers are pleased with our method and are willing to cooperate with the board. g
 Coal dealers in this city have lost hundreds of, dollars during the last three months, as was proven by the boards investigation of the dealers books. Its wonder to me-" said the chairman. tthat some of these dealers didn't close up their yards.
 Because of the situation the street pedd1ers, who Siefnon alleges are a necessary evil to the people who can't afford to buy ten," have Sprae- tically passed out of existence, be- cause dealers have refused to sell them coal. The board has this matter in consideration and will arrange for the street peddlers te get supplies, but will regulate a price for it's sale by the hundredweight.
 The local board is continually in comm unicatien with William D. Rus sell, head of the State Fuel Adnainis- tfation and James ". Storrow, head of the New England committee, who

More Rigid
 Zone Rules For Aliens
Following Cabinet Meet ing at Washington the Local Police Will Prob ably Keep Index of Alien Enemies.

Washington, Nov. IA = The recurrence of disastrous fires at war and waterfront plants has aroused the Department of Justice.
 Following the Cabinet meet ing Attorney-General Gregory yesterday let it be known that within a few days important qualifications to the regula- tions with regard to the move menfs of aliens within re- stricted zones will be put into effect.
 What these changes will be Mfr. Gregory refused to indicate. It is generally considered, however. that they win consist in tightening of tho regulations under which permits for aliens to enter the barred zones are ttssusd and the development of plans in co-operation with local police authorities for the more stringent en- f0rcemsnt of the regulations and a more adequate inspection of the per sons who enter and leave the barred EonsF.
 The problem, so far as Brfdgeper, with fts large foreign population i. eoncs<nsd. Is admittedly grave one It is practically impossible to remove all fofeigners from within certain dis tances of the local waterfront and the various war plants. and a condition arises which can hardly be coped witf under the present method of regulat ing movements in barred zones. Int iaxity of some employers in hiring men of questionable reliability is part, ly at fault here.
 Every alien enemy in Bridgeport, re gardless of his past, will be placed un der constant Government survei11aac, as the result of a cooperative p1al which. will be adopted by the polio, and the federal authorities. Thus about roc residents of this city ma. be affected,
 Names, residences, occupations, an, police records, if there are any, vii probably be filed at the police station in the precincts in which the alien live. and they will be required to re port all changes in this respect, Il addition, they will be watched, an, their homes will be liable to inspec ton by Federal agents
