Success Questioned

Those who have taken up with L. T
Shangles plan of letting the grass
grow to crowd out the dandelions are
of the opinion that the scheme is a
failure. They assert that the dande-
lions grow as rapidly as the grass
and are able to hold their own. During
the drowth the grass dried up and APP
peared dead while the dandelions kept
right on growing without apparent
embarrassment on account of lack of
moisture. They had their supply pipes
down enough to secure the requisite
refreshment.

BURGLARS ROB
 THREE HOMES IN EAST BRIDGEPORT

The homes of L. E. Hebbard, S17 William street; R. c. Simmer, S03 William street. and. Julius Branner of 805 William street. were broken into last night by burglars and considera- ble jewelry, money and other valua- bles stolen. The thieves in each in- stance gained entrance to the houses by means of back windows which were jimmied open.
 In the Hebbard home the thieves secured rich haul of gold watches, lavaliers, gold pencils, rings and other jewels, while in the Simmer residence they made away with a gold watch, a diamond ring and $5 in change. In the Branner home they stole Liberty bond for $50.
 The robbery took place sometime last night around midnight but the police were notified this morning. Captain B, o. Cronan is of the opin- ion the three jobs are the work of a travelling gang of cracksren and that he will be able to find some clue as to their identity from the mass of evidence which they are supposed to have left behind.
 Captain Cronan has assigned two of his men to the case and a thorough investigation isb cling made,

Despite the appeal made to the loyalty of the machinists who went on strike in the munition shops of Bridgeport, the men to the number of about ten thousand refused to return to work this morning.
 They decided at the meeting held yesterday afternoon at the State street Casino to remain on strike until they heard from the Business Agent of the BIachinists' Union who is now in Washington, conferring with members of the Taft Walsh board, which body has the entire matter before them for adjustment.
 One of the most gratifying develop ments observed today. was the fact that not a man out of the thousands emp1oyed by the Bullard Machine and Engineering company was reported absent when the whistles blew. Work is being rushed on an important gov ernment order which will be delivered ahead of time. It was reported yes terday that a large number of the Bull lard machinists and toolmakers went out, but as it was around noon hour the men were merely going to their lunch and returned to their work when the noon hour was up.
 The situation as it stands today seems to be a deadlock, the men

FRESH QUEEN"
 AND CONSORT TAKEN TO COUR7 !
Woman Given Jail Sentence, Jitney Driver Held Un-
 der Bail of $1,OOO.

Nellie Armstrong, long known to her admirers as "the Irish Queen and giving her address as 119 High street, ran foul of the law last night when she undertook to take in-tow that gallant old sea dog, Captain John Parker, the doughty commander of a going barge. The result of the encounter was that Nellie, who was docked on the charge of soliciting, was fined $50 and costs, and given a jail sentence of 30 days. Frank Mi'o no relation of Venus, a jitneur, who drove the pair, was charged with vio- lation of the state law relating to taking money from women, and was bound over for the Superior Court in bonds of $1,O0O.
 After they enjoyed the hospitality paid for, the fair Nellie suggested a rcruise in taxicab: Captain Parker, thought that matters were all right to him that she needed little pin money and wanted to give the jitneur a couple of dollars. Instead she gave the driver all the money.
 The skipper thought at this stage of the game upon looking over the log of the Ford craft he was not alto gether satisfied and took both the Irish Queen" and her charioteer to dry dock for examination and possi- ble repairs to their characters.
 The court thereupon passed sen tence upon Nellie and ordered her pi.o held for the September term Of the Superior Court in bonds of $1,0o0.

The convention had Congressman Augustine Lonergan as chairman.
 Judge J. P. Futile presented MT. by David E. Fitzgerald. Later the nominee, who recently was hurt, ad- dressed the delegates, saying at the outset that while he needed crutches, 'the Democratic party needs no prop to lean on." Referring to the Repub- lican convention, MT. Spellacy said:
 "Our Republican friends have had their squabble. I thought for while that the versatile King of Bridgeport and the sagacious Roraback of Canaan had decided to fight in order that the state might be made safe for Democ- racy. However, the pacifcists were in the majority and the fight has been adjourned" Q
 MT. Spellacy said "the business of the people is to win the war;" and that the president can best be sus- tained in his great trial by the ex- pressed approval of the people of the United States, "to be thundered across the seas, by Democratic sweep"
 MT. SpeIacy declared his opposition to a federal prohibition amendment, but he favored equal suffrage as "the too long deferred" He favored a short campaign and attention to cus- tomary duties until next fall. The nominee praised President Wilson and demanded that the national admins.

 It was reported at the Remington Arms plant that between TOO and 800 men were out, although a few came back this morning. The Liberty Ord nance reported that in the neighbor- hood of 1000 men were out With no prospect of their returning until a settlement is reached by the autheri- ties in Washington.
 At the American-Britis Manufac- turing company's plant the situation remains unchanged. The men to the number of 1000 are out and as far as the officials of the company are con- cerned they are going to stay out.
 The Bridgeport Brass company has some men at work as well as ths American Tube and Stamping com pany.
