STATE BRIEFS
TERSELY TOLD
Near Riots in Bridgeport When
Sugar Is Put Up for Sale

Bridgeport--Near riots resulted in
the wholesale district yesterday when
retail grocers besieged the wholesale
marketsito obtain their allot"ents of
sugar. A shipment Of $4,000 pounds
in bags of 100 pounds each was re-
ceived this morning by Susman and
Feuer and policemen were called to
restore order as the grocerymen
rushed into get their supplies.
The sugar situation is greatly re-
lieved, however, and small shipments
arc being received daily. On Friday
and Saturday nearly 1000 barrels
were received. but were quickly dis
tributed. Another shipment is eX-
pected today and 1t Is probable that
several hundred barrels will be re-

Committee on Transportation
Holds Important Meeting

Hartford, Nov. 20.-Th> committee
on transportation of the Con- ecticut
State Council of Defense announced
today that it's plan for relieving
freight congestion in the state by
making use of idle automobile trucks
has been developed to the point where
the committee is able to HELM shin
pers and is only waiting to heac from
them as to their needs. The commit
tee. with tho cooperation Of the
state Motor Vehicle department. re-
Gently sent out cards to all the truck
owners of Connecticut asking for in
formation as to which of them had
trucks available for extra work. 1t
was surprised to learn that in spite
of the great activity of industry there
are large number of trucks in Con-
necticut that are able to do transnor-
tation work for other shippers than
their owners.
In the section between Hartford
and New Haven and that part of
the state paralleling it, it is estimated.
on the basis of statistics on file in
the committees office at the capitol.
that there are approximately 500 mo-
tor Arucks idle from two to seven DAYS
a week. In the committees files are
the names of truckmen in many cities
and towns who are available for ex-
ira work and have signified their will
nngness to furnish the service asked.
n large number of these trucks are
located In the chief industrial cities.
Hartford has idle trucks with a ca
pacity of 100 tons, New Haven rs
tons, Bridgeport 35 tons, Stratford, 80
tons. New London II tons, Norwalk
20 tons. South Manchester 10 tons
Torrlngton rs tons and Waterbury 35
tons There arc probably many more
trucks idle as many of the truck own
ers have not replied to the cards sent
| them.
The transportation committee is
ready to receive requests from ship
pers for the delivery of goods that
are held at freight terminals or other
wise delayed in shipment The COM
mittee will arrange with the truck
owners who have offered their serv-
ices to deliver the freight. The serv-
Ice is available for any emergency
, work and also for shipments of q gen
| eral character where the use of the
trucks will relieve congestion in other
! shipment channels. When the work
! has been more thoroughly organized
the shippers and the truckmen will be
brought into touch more directly
! through bureaus in the more impor-
tant Industrial centers.

PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
NOT in FULL swing
But the Scheme to Check the
U-Boats Is Something Good

London, Nov. 20.-1n view of Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges statement that
the submarine danger was no longer
feared and that five enemy submarines
were destroyed on Saturday, it may be
stated that the constantly growing
success of enemy submarines is that
is the result, not merely of new de-
vices, but also of a plan of cam
paign which has been worked out in
elaborate detail and which has not yet
reached its full development.
Washington. Nov. 2o.-when Gov
eminent officials were told of Mr..
Lloyd Georges statement that he had
no further fear of submarines and
that five U-boats were sunk last Sat-
urday, they showed keen satisfaction.
There has been a disposition here re-
Gently to believe that th9 allied nav
les were making progress in combat
ing submarines. and officials have felt
considerable relief over the situation.
One high official, who has means of
obtaining confidential information
concerning. the efforts of the Allies to
combat the submarine menace, said,
with reference to Mr.. Lloyd Georges
announcement:
1T may not be quite correct to say
that we have no further fear of sub
marines, but it is true that Germany
has not accomplished with her U-boats
what she set out to do. I can say that
it Is true that more submarines have
been destroyed in the last two months
, than in the previous year.
: The Government received recently
the news that three submarines were
destroyed by the allied naval forces on
: ono day. An official who has access
to the confidential reports of subma7
i rine sinkings sent to this Government
! and who has not been optimistic over
| the efforts to overcome the UbOat
| menace, said he was now of the Op1n-
| ion that by next Spring the allied nav
al forces would have the German sub
marine situation we'll in hand. This
official based his opinion on reports
recently received"
The force Of American destroyers
| and submarine chasers in the waters
| infested by German U-boats Is being
constantly augmented, and the chasers
| have proved much better sea boats
than was supposed. In the Spring the
American destroyer force abroad viii
be increased considerably.
! One opinion to account for the poor
| success of enemy submarines is that
the Germans have turned their atten-
ton to the obstruction of huge air
craft fleet, to the detriment of U-boat
building. The general opinion is thai
Germany is losing U-boats faster thar
she can build them.

DID GOOD BUSINESS,
Boston Bonding Company Enjoyed a
Monopoly For Months

Boston, Nov. 2O.-Supplementing a
recent finding that the Peter j. Fitz-
gerald Bonding Agency enjoyed a
monopoly in the bonding Of city en-
ployes, the Boston finance commission
reported today that this monopoly ex-
tended to the bonding of contractors
doing work for the city. The Fitzger-
aid company was aided in forming the
monopoly, the report held. by Mayor
James M. Curley and Francis l.. DAILY,
his political, and at one time. business
associate. The commission also
charged failure on the part Of the city
to enforce liability upon bonds OF con-
tractors where a liability existed.
The commission recommended that
in the future that all insurance brok-
ers be allowed free, open and honest
competition and approach to the city
contracts, free from psychological in

for the December term Of the superior
court today on the charge of embez-
element of lawful moneys, from the
city of Bristol. Judge Mink placed the
bond of $4,000 which Darlington pro-
vided.
The auditors who have been going
over the tax collectors books made
their report. The shortage of Caring
ton was placed at S5,412.93. Last week
Darlington turned over $1,000 in cash

released equity in real estate to the
amount of $4,000. The city treasurer
has sold sufficient securities to liquid

the balance to Darlington, with the

that there was no Justification of the
