Old Cap Clark, veteran lfesaver and
''velvct-coated hero" would have been
happy today had he been able to see

floral tributes was a big wreath Of
flowers from Jerry Donoghue. former
saloonkeeper, of Eighth and Vino

which were the words:
"To cap Clark May his soul rest

Vine streets two score years ago"
on the occasion mentioned Donoghuc

RAILROAD CONTROL
STIRS UP CONGRESS
Factions Divided on Question
of Compensation to Be
Paid by u. S.
QUESTION OF $2OO,OOO,OOO
Cummins Maintains Roads Should
Be Made to Shoulder Part of
Wars Burden
WASHINGTON. Feb. -.


The railroad control bill has again
plunged Congress into a bitter fight over
fair distribution of tho wars financial
burdens. Lined up on one side is' the
determined group of men who last ses-
sion fought for conscription of wealth to
pay the tax bills, on the other side
stand the Same men who so strenuously
opposed wealth conscription
The issue is whether the railroads
shall be made 10 bear fair share OF
tho wars burden or whether the peo-
pie must pay the railroads virtually
what they demand under Government
control Specifically, the battle Is over
the basis upon which the railroads email
be paid by the Government.
Senator Cummins, OF Iowa, and his
supporters insist tho roads should be
guaranteed their ordinary dividends plus
interest on their debt This. Cummins
says, would cost tho Government s75o,-
100000 to S775,O0O.oOo a year.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina.
leading tho opposition, wants the income
computed on three pre-war years-19l5.
1916 and 1917. This, Smith estimates,
will cost the Government from $3.50
100000 to s955,OO0,0Oo year. The
difference to the American people be-
tween Cumminss plan and Smiths Is
about S200,000.00O year. The three
year plan is that suggested by the
President. Senator Smith declares II
should be adopted, no matter what it
costs,
"1f we must pour out S2o0,000,0OO a
year TO meet the demands of service l
am In favor of pouring II out, that we
may get efficient railroad operation. at
least until the shadow of a great ma
tional calamity shall have passed" said
Smith. when the war is over We can
settle the question according to the cir
cumstance."
But Cummins and his supporters point
out that the railroads take no risks.
inasmuch as the Government is bound
to provide equipment when the rail-
roads can't or won't. and in addition,
Is guaranteeing a stated return on the
business.
Cummns is bitterly opposed TO set
tling the question of compensation to
the roads through a surrender to them
He declared today there is no reason
Congress should not do what is just
and fair to the railroads and the public
alike"
THE Interstate Commerce Commits
sion" said Cummins, has been unable
to equalze rates so that fortunate or
wealthy roads would earn n fair return
If that had been done poorer roads
would have been put out of business.
Congress is not bound as the Com
mcrco Commission. Yet we are propos-
ing to give some railroads a return of
several hundred per cent. No good can
ever come of settling the question in an
unscientihc fashion, to say nothing of its
unfairness to those who must pay the
bills--the American people"
Cummns is prepared to deliver an
exhaustive attack on the bill. probably
this week He will be backed up by
several other Senators.

When questioned today regarding the

said no exchange of prisoners with Ger
many was contemplated. II it should
become desirable to exchange some
Americans for Germans the exchange
would have to be confined to prisoners

than that the Circuit Court now con-
sists OF five Democrats and three Re-

be conducive to n final settlement OF

could permanently stand four to four.
However, Judge DUNCAN. from all in

THE END OF BOSS TWEED.

When Governor r-elect Alfred P. Smith triumphed over his Republican opponent, Gov. Whitman, at the polls in New York during the recent cleo tions, he had New York City to thank for his victory. The city rolled up a plurality for the Democratic candi- date which even the overwhelming upstate" Republican plurality was unable to overcome. There is no se- cret in the fact that Governor-elec Smith is a Tammany Hall man.
 If the people of New York city were recently generous in their support ot the Democratic candidate, that same victory of the friend of Tammany recalls to mind the time when the people of New York City turned or political boss affiliated with Tam. many and put him into jail.

POLES
(ReYieW)

(Review)
 The bill at Poli's theatre Tor the first half of the week is the best that has been offered for some time.
 The vaudeville headliner is big musical act Hands Across the Sea" presented by Charles Lovenberg, The act includes 18 men and women, all exceptionally good singers and danc- CTS, and include three local young men, the Neary brothers and Harry Morrissey. The settings are superb, and the performance one of the best ever seen in Bridgeport. The young men from this city were given ova- tions upon their appearance, and their work does them credit. Local audi ences may we'll be proud of these re- presentatives of the city upon the vaudeville stage,
 Joe Wilmot and Olive Hill present a novel and entertaining dancing act, The shadow dance" in the opening part of thefr act excells any thing of its kind ever seen here. Johnny Wood, ventriloQuist pre- sents something new in his line. His clever and original comedy evoked round after round of applause.
 The Stanleys, in their wire WalK4ne act, and the excellent dancing or the male member of the team, are de- serving of the hands they received Miller and Bradford offer something new in their song and dance act, anc are very entertaining.
 Jesse L. Lasky features Fred Stone in the screen offering, '~The Goat His wonderful acrobatic stunts hole the audience breathless with sus pense.
 The Hearst-Pathe News, always en tertaining and instructive, is unus ually so in the pictures shown of tht efforts of the U. s. cities in the recen drives. Views shown of Washington D. C., taken from an aeroplane ant the soldiers who captured the Ger man machine guns, are very good.
