Judge Curtis Declines to
Consider Application for
Injunction Against Con-
necticut Company.

Bridgeport, Sept. 2s.-Judge How
ard J. Curtis in the superior court
today refused to consider the appli-
cation for an injunction made on be-
half OF the city OF Bridgeport, by at
torney William H. Comley, Jr., to re-
strain the Connecticut company from
increasing it's fares from to cents
until such time as the question of its
equity and justness is shown before
the proper tribunal.
Instead, the court suggested that
the alternative Incorporated in his ap
plication for the restraining order,
that the company issue some sort OF
receipts to the patrons to indemnify
them should the Public Utilities COM
mission hold the increase unjustified,
was the logical and reasonable way
out of the difficulty. =
On this suggestion Attorneys Com
ley and Berry. the latter for the Con-
necticut company, are conferring this
afternoon to see It an agreement cam
not be reached as to what form this
Indemnity guarantee should take.
Inability on the part Of the city to
give proper indemnity bond to the
court to safeguard the Connecticut
company should the increase be sus-
tanned by the utilities board was the
reason for the court not considering
seriously the temporary restraining
order asked for by Attorney Conley.

ture, addressing the American Bank

conservers, beating back the attacks
Of that world-old camp follower of

worlds, fighting against disloyal greed,
unpatriotic partisanship, perverted
personal ambition and economic trea-
son to the public.
Ten million of the flower Of Amer
lean manhood by the selective draft
have had their names written on the
nations immortal roll of honor.
'The nation calls today for an
equal number of volunteers to fight
in the business world and at the bal
lot box. to make the conduct of this
war as clean and patriotic, as heroic
and self sacrificing in the business
world at home as it is in the trenches
of France and Flanders"
In urging increased food produc-
ton, Mr.. Vrooman declared we are
face to face with famine, mot as a
people, on the contrary, but as one of
a sisterhood of nations. we are not
ourselves starving but millions of our
fellow men are"

HIS LAST ORDER.
Russian Newspapers Reprint Gen.
Korniloff's Demands on Army.

Petrograd, Sept. 28.-The last army
order issued by Gen. Korniloff, re-
printed In the Novaia Zhizn from a
Mohilev newspaper tends to show that
Korniloff was compelled to launch his
revolt largely in an effort to thwart
German plans. The order says it has
been learned that German agents had
brought about the great fire in Kazan,
had expended millions of rubles in dis
organizing the coal mines in the Riv-
er Don region and that the Germans
were proposing a general offensive
along the whole front for the purpose
of forcing q disorganized Russian re-
treat. They had also planned to blow
UP the bridges across the River Dnie-
per and Volga and were organizing
movement of maximilasts in Petro-

DEATH OF ASHE
Sinn Eein Opinion Is Inflamed Be-
cause of Report OF Leader Dying of
Voluntary Starvation.

London. Sept. 28.-The death in
Dulin on Wednesday of Thomas Ashe,
a Sim F'ein leader. reported to have
been due to voluntary starvation, ao-
cording to q despatch to the Daily
Mail from Dublin, has accentuated
painfully the diffifhculties underlying
the surface OF Irish politics and Sim
Fein opinion is inf1amed seriously.
Ashes body. dressed in the uniform OF
the Irish Volunteers, lies in state in a
Dublin hospital and there may be q
public funeral on Sunday. 1t is said
that other Sim Fein leaders in the
hospital prison where Ashe died are
in q dangerous condition.
McMeeny testified that the post
mortem examination at which sever
al other doctors were present showed
that Ashe did not die Of hunger. The
body was not emaciated and there was
an abundance of food in the stomach.
Death, he said, was due to syncope,
arising partly from heart trouble and
partly from an intense congestion of
the lungs. Ashes heart, he added,
was abnormal and he would be likely
to succumb to any sudden shock or
prolonged struggle.
DIR. McKeena hospital surgeon,
testified that Ashe told him after he
had been fed forcibly on Tuesday that
he had collapsed from fit of
cough.

Thomas Ashe was we'll known in

ance of a number OF leading Irish

Of life. has caused q distinct shock

TROPICAL HURRICANE

People Leave Homes and
Seek Shelter in
Offices.

New Orleans, Sept. 2S.-The tropi-
cal hurricane passing inland from
the Gulf of Mexico was central early
today about IS miles south of here
and moving in a northerly direction.
Reports from Pilot Town, near the
mouth of the Mississippi river. said
the winds velocity there was more
than rs miles an hour at $3.50 a. m.
and the barometer had fallen to
29.18.
Weather bureau officials were in
clined to the opinion that the full
force probably would pass little
east or west of New Orleans.
The barometer in New Orleans at 7
a. m. registered 1858 where it had
been almost stationary for four hours.
New Orleans has not yet received
the worst of the Storm" weather bu-
reau officials said. Its intensity prob
ably will increase here up to noon"
The center of the storm apparently
passed inland from the gulf near Pi-
lot Town, the hurricane winds being
accompanied by rain. Pilot Town is
approximately 80 miles southeast of
here and has population of about
one hundred.
It is the headquarters of the pilots
who guide the vessels over the bar
at the mouth of the river. Since 80
a gale of more than smiles an hour
has been blowing there. No reports
had been received here early today as
to the damage done by the storm or
casualties in that place.
Needing the weather bureaus warn
ing of the probable approach of the
storm, hundreds of New Orlean resi-
dents deserted their homes in the
outskirts and spent last night in ho-
tells, public and office buildings down
town. More than 800 sought refuge in
the postoffice buildings, the customs
house and the new court house.
A despatch from Gulfport, Miss,
states that the barometer at 7 a. m.
registered 1866. An east wind was
blowing about 40 miles an hour and
there were squalls Of rain. The tide
there was reported two and a half
feet above normal.
Mobile, Sept. 2S.-The weather bu-
reau at a. m. reported the barome-
ter was falling and at that hour was
29.74. This is a fall of 10 points since
1890 o'clock last night. A steady rain
has ben falling here since 2 o'clock
this morning, and the wind is strong
from the northeast.

LONDON, May 0.-The

Elected from the village by SUI
perior weight of German coun-
ter-attacks made with fresh d.
visions yesterday. Field Marshal
Haig aligned his forces anew early
today and threw them into new
and furiously persistent fighting
there.
At the time of his early after
noon report, he detailed recapture
of a portion of the ground taken
by the Germans and an improve
ment of the British position to the
west of the town.
Yesterdays loss, however, is not
yet retrieved and the temporary
German gain, until offset. will ad-
mittedly hamper further opera
lions in the turning Of the Oppy
line.
The fighting around Fresnoy
now progressing Is struggle OF
mighty forces on either side. The
Germans are determined to hold
the position, knowing the British
objective, and the British are de-
termined to carry through their
plans.
Front dispatches related the
strengthening of the German line
here with prodigal massing of
German reserves. The German
artillery is pouring a flood OF
shells over the British positions.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 8.
The autocratic news gag pro-
posed by Secretary Lansing to
shut off discussion and criticism
of this country's war policy met
with violent denunciation in all
government quarters today.
Congress has about reached the
breaking point on the censorship
question.
The subject is like a firebrand
in both 'house and senate cham
bers. Today while representa-
tiyes aired their views privately
senators took the floor and ripped
into so-called invisible govern
ment" efforts to throttle the free
dom of the press and attempts to
bottle up news of the govern
ment's activities.
I'VE should not and will not
tolerate any proposition that re-
stricts comment or criticism dur
ing this war said Representative
Campbell, Kansas.
Il am opposed to any plan by
the government which will not
permit the press to tell all that is
going on" said Senator Varda-
man, Mississippi.
1--WE can't crush an autocracy,"
Senator Johnson of California
said, 'if we build up one worse
than that we are after"
In the face OF overwhelming
storms of criticism against the
new Lansing ruling, there were
evidences of slight relaxation in
the order at the state depart
ment today. 1t is now admitted
by Lansing the ironclad lid on
news may be tilted IL 1t doesn't
prove a success.
