I'M ADOO PLANSTO
SAVE MILLIONS
BY MITIGATION
Director General Will Put
In to Effect Sweeping
Economies When Rail
Control Bill Passes.

Washington Jan. S.-Director Cen
eral McAdoo plans on saving 100000,
900 annually in federal operation of
the railroads.
Sweeping economies will be ipaugu-
rated Immediately after passage of the
rail control bill now being considered
by congressional committees. These
economies are expected to net more
than sufficient money to pay the in
creases to be granted railroad workers
Aside from the saYing-automatic
incentralizing authority and unifying
all the systems into a single national
line-hundreds Of thousands of dollars
viii be saved in the following moves
contemplated:
Cut in big salaries and elimlna-
ton of unnecessary executives.
Elimination of elaborate struc-
ture of competitive agencies under
private management - passenger
and freight solicitors. advertising,
etc.
Conservation of coal by curtail-
ing unnecessary traffic.
TO AVOID DELAYS.
Tremendous sayings-and much
added income--are expected through
prompt unloading of cars, demanded
by McAdoo and to be drastically en-
forced If necessary, through elimina-
ton of much back hauling switching,
etc.
Extortionate charges forced upon
private railroads by privately owned
switching roads at terminals will be
smashed by McAdoo Since these roads
for the most part merely inter switch
within terminals and operate between
manufacturing plants in the town, they
are not within the meaning of conn

commission holds, and therefore won't
get the tn year guarantee promised

under him. McAdoo will effect another
saving in purchasing materials
Through the governments power to fix
prices further savings can be enforced

CHILD DIES FROM THREE STRANGELY INFLICTED STABS Aunt Held By Coroner Phelan on Charge of
 Manslaughter. NO MOTIVE
 FOR MURDER Case One of Most Puzzling In Annals of Police
 Department.

After lowering between life and death at St. Vincents hospital since Oct. 25. four year old Ruth Copely. succumbed to stab wounds inflicted by her aunt, Mrs. Louise Copely, with whom she resided at 103 James street. The youngster was stabbed three time,-in the breast, abdomen three times---in the breast, abdomen ing held on charge of manslaughter pending an investigation by Coroner John J. Phelan.
 The case is one of the most pug zling and saddest in the annals of the Bridgeport police department, and although Mrs. Copely has been ex- amined and cross-examined several times by the authorities. it is still very doubtful if she will be held criminally responsible for the death of her niece.
 Following a hurry call for the Emergency hospital ambulance on October 25, in which the girl was taken to St. vincent's suffering from the stab wounds, the police conducted an investigation, and detained Mrs Copely.
 In her statement of the happenings of that morning she said that she had been peeling potatoes in the kitchen of her home and that little Ruth was playing in the back yard. She told the police that she crossed the room to obtain additional potatoes holding the knife in her hand, and that as she returned to the table to continue the -peeling, she stumbled over the girl, thDowing her to the ground
 According to Mrs. Copely, her sur prise at finding the girl in the room was so great, that she forgot about the knife in her hand, and in stepping to pick the child up, pierced her ab. domen. When she noticed the blood she became panic-stricken and agair stopped to raise the child, shifting the knife to the other hand Again thu girl was stabbed, and after noticing what had happened, Mrs. Copel! claims she ran from the house, ant neighbors called the ambulance.
 On examination it was found tha the youngster had received thre wounds. Mrs. Copley could only ac count for two of them. At polio
 headquarters she suffered a nervou
 breakdown, and while she was hel
 on charge of manslaughter she wa
 released on parole.
 The dead child was an orphan, an
 Mrs. Copely, who Is the mother of
 number of children, was her guardian
 It was claimed that when the chil
 was taken to the hospital, her fac
 gave indications of having bee choked. This has not had any beal ing on the case up until the preser
 time. Neither has any motive for a attempt on the child's life by the aur

CORONER PROBES
 INTO DEATH OF
 CIRCUS EMPLOYE
Henry P. Reed Dead Follow ing Injury He Received
 Night of Oct. IA Last.

Investigation into the manner in which Henry P. Reed, an employe of the Ringing Circus, now stationed at 'the Barnum & Bailey winter quarters in Norman street in this city, met his death was commenced today by Cor oner J. J. Phelan. The inquest was held in the County building, and De- tective J. J. Curry, Ben Johnson, an other circus employe, were the wit nesses.

 Johnson was accused at the time of hitting Reedl and has been since held on charges jof assault by the police, his case having been continued from time to time. It will come up again in the city court tomorrow for a hear ing.
 Bust what happened to Reed is a matter of doubt. On the night in question he was found near the cook house with his head split open, and according to stories told the police who were called, he was struck by Johnson. Johnson denios striking Reed, tells the coroner he, with about a dozen others, were playing craps under the cook house, heard some one cry, rushed out, and found a mar named Phillips carrying Reed dowT the stairs from the inside of the build ing. His i'm pression was that ReeC was hurt outside, that Phillips ant the other took him into the cool house, and then brought him dowl stairs again.
 When the police arrived one of tn party said Johnson hit Reed, an Reed Is said to have accused Johnson of striking the blow. Johnson denie he hit Reed or had any quarrel witt him. Johnson was the only witnes today who was present at the time and his memory was faulty at critica times. Coroner Phelan held the in quest open for further testimony.

Moss Ives of Danbury, counsel fol the petitioners, who explained that the action taken was necessary for protection of the rights of all of the creditors and stockholders who were threatened with loss by suits anG other actions due to former manage ment of the company. He said Nc. i Kay accepted the position very re- 1 luctantly and only as a temporary l matter. The question before the i gathering was whether they were satisfied with Mckay as temporary receiver of the company. Col. Ives told the stockholders that the com 1 pany is now on a cash basis, all milk received will be paid for weekly, an6 all milk sold will be collected fol daily. As soon as the affairs of the payments on the old accounts to tht producers will be made.
