tention.
Profiteering has reached such a
point in this city that it has come to
the attention of federal authorities,
who for patriotic reasons do not wish
to be quoted, that men in this city
secured leases of homes for a reason
able rental and have sublet them at
an eUorbitant amount. One case is
that of a physician who has the lease
of two houses on the East Side which
he secured two or three years ago for
$S5 month. These he now'rents for
$50. The houses are in very I'M
sanitary condition and he absolutely
refuses to make any repairs. Another
case is that of a man with three
small children whose landlord raised
the rent of the fiat SIS because he
could get a family for the fat who
had no children.
The demands of the landlords are
sometimes amusing as well as unjust
One who owns a house on one of the
principle streets of the city, refuses
to rent the vacant fiat unless the
family will agree to act as furnace
tenders to family who occupy the UP
per floor, and also must agree to rent
no rooms. It is time something was
done in Bridgeport as we'll as Water
bury and other cities of Connecticut
and in the commission the prosecuted
tenant will find a valuable ally.

CORONER HOLDS
INQUIRY into
TALBOT INJURY

Coroner John J. Phelan went to
the Bridgeport hospital this morning
and obtained brief statement from
Joseph Tallot who was injured on
the evening of June II. He was pro-
ceeding from his place of employment
the American Tube and Stamping Co.'S
plant on Stratford avenue to his
home on Suburban avenue. Going
over the lower bridge in the direction
of the center of the city he was hit
by an automobile owned by a man
named Dexaney, evidently as he was
attempting to board a west bound
trolley.
Tauot suffered several fractured
ribs and was taken to the Bridge
port hospital. 1t was not thought at
first that his condition, was at all
serious but now pneumenia has de"
veloped and it was deemed best to get
his version of the accident. Coroner
Phelan held an imminent death in
quiry and examined one of the wit
nesses of the affair today.

train said Mr.. Landman. HE ran
past two block signals, two red light
signals and the usual fuses planted be-
tween the rails and throwing off a
brilliant red light visible for a long
distance.
This engineer is missing. My in
formation is that with the exception
of the engineer, whose fate is a mys-
terry, no one on the train of Pullmans
was hurt. 1t will be some time before
an accurate list of the dead can be
compiled. 1t is the worst wreck in
the history of the road, believe"
The large number of persons in the
casualty list is said to be due to the
practice of show trains of sleeping two
persons to a berth. The coaches were
Pullmans of an obsolete type convert
ed into gaudily painted show cars.
At 1915 a. m. it was said that 40
bodies had been received at morgues
in Gary with others on the way.

CIRCUS LEAVES
NO AFTERMATH
OF CRIME HERE
Head of Local Detective
Bureau Says Show Makes
Record in This Respect.

Captain E. o. Cronan, chief of the
Bridgeport detective bureau. stated
today that the visit of the Barnum &
Bailey's circus created a record, as
there was no epidemic of crime such
as usually accompany the visit of a
circus to town.
In commenting upon the matter he
said: 1.-THE circus was good show
and the people with/it were, contrary
to general opinion of circus follow
ers, very good. In all my years of
experience 1 do not remember any
visit of a circus which had as an
aftermath such a small percentage of
petty crimes.
1.-THE circus of today is very partic-
ular as to who is attached to it, and
this fact I think in the main accounts
for the small percentage Of dips
con men and other worthless char
acters who heretofore were the para
sites of a circus, travelling with the
modern entertainment.
"If there was any epidemic Of
picking pockets in the crowd of finn
Tanning tricks being practiced upon
the public we would certainly hear
about it Immediately. So far the only
crimes reported are of very petty
nature and such as happen every day
in Bridgeport, or in any city its size
in the country"
Among the few cases reported to
the police was report from George
P. Chase, who complained that his
| home had been broken into and SIC
taken from the pocket of his trousers,
Jacob Kramer complained that
someone went to his room and took
| $3.50 in cash and $50 Liberty bond
Mrs. K. M. Hotchkiss, of 635 Ham
cock avenue, reported that while she
was viewing the parade yesterday,
someone broke into her home through
a window, which had been left open,
and stole two diamond rings valued
at s175.
Miss Bertha Billion, of $50 Wordin
avenue. reported that a. purse contain
| ing S38 was stolen from beneath a
pillow in baby carriage while she
was watching the parade in State
street

Many hundreds Of housewives who love their table
linens have at last decided to use cotton damask.
IT'S a matter of economy and frugality and good

much higher price
So they are saving them for special and damask

through most of the time.
A surprise was waiting for housewives who had not

firm heavy weave-and its patterns actually the pat
