Nichols Man Had
 Loaded Revolver

Frank Grzyboski, of Nichols, arriv- ed in Bridgeport yesterday to take in the sights and insisted in picking a quarrel with some of the patrons of a saloon at 9S Congress street. The bar tender called in an officer and had him arrested as a common nuisance. Upon being searched by the patrol men it was discovered tha the had gun fully loaded concealed inside his underwear, while in a pocket was a box of cartridges.
 The sequel to the above was fur nished in the City court today when Judge Wilder fined the Hungarian $100 and costs and then ordered that he serve a sentence of ten days in jail to deliberate upon the foolishness Of carrying an arsenal in Bridgeport.
 GrZyboski stated in his defence that he was in the habit of carrying large sums of money on his person and found it necessary to carry some kind of firearms to protect himself and property. This appeared to be a little off color to the court and the fine with sentence was promptly applied as a preventative against further indiscre- tions on the part of Frank.

SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLIC GAINS
 BY WORLD WAR

Buenos Aires, April 24-Argentina's financial and economic condition ap parently is being strengthened as the war drags on. The republic recent the sale of several million tons of cereals 10 the Entente Allies, which rrally aILoGh.ed to a huge loar and there have been other events in finan- cal circles which show tha.. ArGen- tine credit abroad and confidence ct hOric are progressing hand Tn hand.
 The fact that is being most widely commented upon by the Argentine newspapers is that confidence at home has become so strong that stocks of the National Mortgage Bank, known as ''credulas hipotecarias" are being quoted at par for the first time in their history. These credulas are looked upon in financial circles as barometers of the nations condition for they are shares in bank which 1 is backed by the government and they f1uctuate with the improvement | or weakening of government credit Usually they are quoted around 94 tc 96 and they have never gone to pal even during the boom seasons wher everything else was being sought by r investors.
 | Now there is an animated competi ton on the Stock Exchange for these credulas and large blocks of them art changing hands daily, which the news papers take as an indication that tht
 public's confidence in the Irigoye1
 government has become so strength ened that it, at last, is willing tt
 invest in government shares the larg:
 surplus of money which has been ly
 ing idle in savings banks ever sine 1 the var began.
