IMPUDENT J|TNEY DRIVER FINED IN
 THE CITY COURT
Kost Insisted He had g
 Right to Park Machine Near Main St.

Edward Kost, 21, a jitneur, who re- sides in the Canaan road, Stratford, was arrested this morning by Patrol man Sherwood upon the charge of violating the parking ordnance. Be- fore his arrest he was abusive in lan- guage and told the officer he had a perfect right to anchor his machine at the corner of Fairfield avenue and Main street to pick up a load. He was fined $3 by Judge Bartlett in the city court.
 Ofcer Sherwood stated he had sig nailed the traffic to move forward five times, but Kost paid no attention to him. Kost happens to have the larg- est bus in the city of Bridgeport and according to the police has made a habit of anchoring at the busiest cor ner in the city, sometimes reading a paper and paying no attention to the signals of the traffic officer.
 Kost has been spoken to several times by the officers on traffic duty but has failed to take any notice ot their orders to move or has become violently abusive, daring them to ar rest him and telling them he had 8 perfect right to wait at the corner fo1 passengers.

STOCK MARKET

New York, July 25.-Specialties contributed to the irregular trend at the opening of today's stock market, tobaccos, floor example, moving in op- posite directions. Fractional gains in United States Steel, Pacific Mail, h. dustrial Alcohol and Colorado Fuel were balanced by recessions extend Ing from fractions to a point in Dis tillers, Inspiration Copper and Ma tional Biscuit. St. Paul preferred, on which dividend action was expected later in the day, was the only railroad to show even a nominal advance.
 Pressure against leaders relaxed with the progress of the session, United States Steel showing better support on its extreme rise of Is, with substantial gains for Crucible Steel, Baldwin Locomotive, Marine preferred, Pacific Mail and oils, Su- matra Tobacco which weakened at the outset despite the proposed stock dividend, rallied three points and To- bacco Products gained 1 1-2.

RAUCUS NOISES ANNOY OFFICERS
 OF CITY COURT

Great annoyance was caused to the City Court this forenoon by automo- bile mechanics and chauffeurs run ming their motors wide open and footing raucous horns in the yard at tached to police headquarters. At times it was almost impossible to hear witnesses or court officials no matter how loud they spoke.
 Upon inquiries being made by a representative of The Times it was discovered that all the noise which chauffeurs make in tinkering with their cars is absolutely unnecessary and officials at headquarters have expressed determination to do away with the nerve racking noise created by a dozen or so machines, which are constantly parked in the yard of police headquarters.
 Not alone is the noise deafening to the people whose business carries them to the City Court, but the doc tors, nurses and patients in the Elmer gency hospital find it beyond endur- ance at times.
 It was pointed out by one official that Bridgeport seems to be the only city of it's size which permits the fragrant use of nerve racking noises by chauffeurs who seem to take a de- light in making as much din as possi- ble.
 From the hulIabaloo raised by the chauffeurs in the police yard this morning it is expected a drastic or der will be issued to all members of the traffic squad to minimize the noise as much as possible.

SOUTH AFRICANS
 ADVANCE FASTER |. THAN THE OTHERS

British Headquarters, in France, July 25-(via Ottawa)-The South Africans who took part in the, suc- cessful attack at Meteren, on the Flanders front, on July IT, came from all quarters of that dominion and in- cluded a goodly proportion of the Dutch element. Forming the right wing of the British force, they ad- vanced farther and faster than any of the other units.
 Advancing behind a smoke screen and wearing gas masks the South Africans took the enemy by surprise, although having some trouble with the enemy in shell craters and clever ly concealed machine gun nests. Their casualties, considering the measure of their success, were comparatively light.
 The enemy so far has not attempt ed a counter attack on the new Brit | ish positions. %
