DEMPSEY GOES TO| JAIL INSTEAD OF !
 FIGHTING HUNS.
Convicted of Theft His Phy- sical Conditions Bars His
 Enlistment.

It may be a good idea to induct ones self into the national army to escape the hands of the law, but first it would be advisable to make sure the physical health of the law break. CT Is correct.
 Seeing a long jail sentence would be imposed upon him, Dean Dempsey of Stamford asked permission of the court to let him join the army in- stead. He was accused of theft on three counts, for having stolen cloth ing, jewelry and other household ar ticles from Herbert and Ruth Ruckel of Stamford. Permission was grant. ed him, but luck was not with Demp- sey, as the authorities found him physically unfit, so Dempsey has to serve a, nine months sentence imposed on him by Judge Walsh in the Court of Common Pleas today.
 The robbery of which Dempsey was found guilty amounted to SAT, and includes suit of clothing, one pair of cuff links, one penknife, pair ot shoes and various other things which the thief intended to furnish himself with.

Drapczak Insulted
 President, Charge

Victor Drapczak, 36. of 2S7 Willard street, found himself. in a pot of trouble this forenoon when he made insulting remarks about President Wilson and the United States army in France. When he decided to unbur- den his mind of some of his thoughts he was in a saloon in Willard street. A Hungarian, also a patron of the place, overheard him and immedi- ately reported the matter to Patrol man Thomas Meahan of the Second precinct.
 Meahan placed the man under ar- rest, but Drapczak declared no police- man or body of policemen could ever take him any place he decided he did not want to go to. About this time he began. to move toward the station house and after considerable resist ance he arrived in a damaged condi- ton.
 He was booked by Lieutenant Bar ton, and charged with breach of the peace and resistance. He will be turned over to the federal authori- ties. When examined he stated that he came to this city from New York City about a month ago.

CLERKS READY FOR WORK OF
 REGISTRATION
Draft Officials Have Com pleted Plans for Rush of
 Business Thursday.

Local draft officials are more than pleased in the progress made prepar- atory to the day of registration, Thursday. With but one day more to complete all details the Bridgeport boards fell that nothing can go wrong Thursday In fact, Sanford Stoddard, chairman of the Central Committee on Registration, felt that if any d1ft1- culty is encountered Thursday it will be no fault of the 1,500 clerks who will assist in the work, for everyone is well versed in the instructions. Un- less new rulings are made on short notice by the Provost General, Thurs days registration should be done without the least bit of confusion.
 Chairman Stoddard assured g. re- porter for The Times that the hun dreds of clerks will do their work with as great a zeal as though they were being compensated for their ser vices. The 1,500 or more assistants are doing the work purely from altruistic motives and their patriotic duty to their country.
 An interesting phase of the new draft law made public today is the provision for the registration of in mates of jails, penitentiaries and asy- lums, by the responsible heads of the institutions. The Times will again publish to- morrow the list of places in Bridge port where registration is to on, Thursday and which appeared in Mondays issue of the paper.

GARFIELD WILL. CUT THE PRICE
 OF GASOLINE
Decides Conditions War, rant Setting Lower Rate
 for Whole Country.

Washington, Sept. 10.---The price of gasoline to the automobile owners and other consumers of the country is to come down. Administrator Garfield let it be known yesterday that for some time the Fuel Administration has been conducting research looking to the fixing of a standard price throughout the country and that data already gathered show the price when fixed will be lower than that now prevailing. When the new price will go into effect Dr. Garfield was unable to say.
 His attention was drawn yesterday to inanuations to the effect that the Standard oil company has lines of in fuence running into the Fuel Admin iStration, and that the company had played more than spectators part in the gasolineIess Sunday appeal. If these insinuations have any basis of fact whatever, Dr. Garfield said, he Is not aware of 1t,
 The rumor has been that the com pany wanted a big reserve of gaso- line built up 50 that it might increase
 prices. Just how 1t could manage I41Ao IllOS0 SLdI IIlu6 AIl0 IopOILS G4u 4fOs make plain, especially in view of the fact that ordinarily the abundance of g. commodity tends to diminish the
 price. Much has been made, how ever, of the statement that officials of the Standard Oil company in New York were in telephonic communica- ton with the Fuel Administration of- fees just before the request went out although 1t is evident, according to the Fuel Administration, that it would necessarily have a direct interest and perhaps thoroughly honest one.
 DT. Garfield took the, position thad so far as can be judged the corpora tions generally have done everything possible to show their sincerity 1T helping the war program with the
 Standard O4l as no exception. The theory has been advanced that 1T
 striving for issues in the forthcoming elections the Fuel Administration ha:
 been selected by the Republicans a.
 one of the targets and that the Stand. ard Oil rumor was the opening gun.

 F'enway Park, Boston Sept. 1o-The Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs touch ed off a bomb shell toward game time today by refusing to go on the field unless the National Commission rem dered an immediate decision to their demand for a readjustment of the World Series division of the money receipts apportioned to the players.
 A committee of the players had met the national commission earlier in the day. The players then came to the park and held a meeting in their dressing rooms. After a long talk they decided to call the commission at once and say that they would not go on the field until a decision was rendered. At 1:55 o'clock not a player had ap- peared on, the field, and there were reports that if the commissions de- cision was against a readjustment of the players share in the games that the Sox and the Cubs would not go on with today's game.
 The commission had promised to take the matter under advisement, but | insisted that there had been no for nal guarantee and that any change in the division of the proceeds would have to be submitted to the club own- CTS for ratification.
 The commission gave out figures o1 the probable division of the players pool of $69,527.7O as follows: Winners share, $23,152.72; losers share, $15,-
 435.15; teams finishing second in the
 respective leagues to get $15, ,469.91;
