STOCK MARKET

New York, Aug. 22-Openfng- Trading in stocks at the opening of today's market was eclipsed by fur ther extensive purchases of Liberty 3 1-2 per cent. bonds which soon rose to the new high price of 102.50. This is a substantial advance over the pre- vious high record of 102.06, made at the close of yesterdays session. The stock list was steady at the outset, but become irregular before the end of the first half hour as a result of the moderately reactionary trend displayed by Canadian Pacific, Ma United States Steel and other indus trials and equipments.
 Noon-Losses among leaders were extended during the morning, further calling of bank loans contributing to the decline. Short selling, however, was restricted because of encouraging war dispatches. Canadian Pacific recently the strongest of the rail- roads, yielded 2 1-2 points, bt other prominent transportations were dull and unchanged. United States Steel reacted a point from it's early best with Baldwin Locomotive and Marine preferred, Mexican Petroleum declin- ing 1 5-S.

CONTINUE CASE OF AN ALLEGED
 KNIFE WIELDER

Adolph Farrara, 2, of 2S3 Grand street, arrested yesterday when it is alleged he cut and badly wounded Joseph P. Maher, of 26S Madison avenue, a fellow workman at the Remington Arms plant, was before Judge Wilder in the city court today and his case was continued until Aug. 29.
 Farrara maintains that he did not stab Maher, but that he showed him against the wall when he persisted in coming around his machine to eat his lunch every noon, causing crumbs and other papers to get mixed up in the machine he was working at. He stated that he asked Maher to go somewhere else to eat his lunch, but Maher threatened him with violence unless he stopped talking to him.
 Maher is at present in the Bridge port hospital where it is said he is suffering from serious stab wound in the abdomen. The surgeons say that the wound penetrated the walls of the stomach and the mans liver. When the hospital was called late this afternoon Maher's condition was reported as being very favorable.

HECKsCHER SUES
 SOCIETY WOMEN
Says Mrs. J. H. Johnston and Mrs. Robert J. Kelly
 Slurred His Loyalty.

New York, Aug. 22.---August Heck scher, wealthy mine owner, real es- tate operator and philanthopist, brought suits for s500,oe0 each yester- day against Mrs. Tinie Noel John ston, wife of J. Herbert Johnston, and | Mrs. Dorothy J. Kelly, alleging that in ''tea table gossip they had, in ef- feet, charged him with being pro- German and brought his loyalty to America into question among the members of the fashionable society colonies on Long Island, where all of the parties to the action are promi- nent.
 MT. Heckscher's suits caused a sen- sation last night in the exclusive so- cial coteries in which he as we'll as Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Johnston moved; announcement that papers in the &C., tion actually had been served on the women he accused bringing to a head gossip that had been bendied about on the island for many weeks.
 Specifically, MT. Heckscher charged that the attacks upon his loyalty to his adopted country were launched by Mrs. Johnston at a luncheon she gave in her Long Island home July G. On that occasion, the Heckscher com plaint alleges, Mrs. Johnston, discuss ing the war, remarked that "she doubted the loyalty to the United States of it's citizens of foreign birth, D and then added:
 "The boatmen said that MT. Heck scher's boat went out every night at o'clock"
 The action against Mrs. Kelly was based upon the allegation that from the Johnston luncheon she went to the home of Mrs. Grace Lambert, an- other member of the exclusive North Shore society colony, and repeated there the charges she heard made against the Heckschers'' at the John ston home.
 In both actions MT. Heckscher's charges are based upon information and belief"

 FLOUR|SHES IN SWEDISH HOMES
All Classes Make Their Own Alcoholic Drinks Since
 the War Began.

Stockholm, Aug. 22.---(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press )---When two friends encounter each other in Sweden, says a current jest, they no longer greet each other with the usual Good day. How goes it?" Instead they say: Good day. How is the fermentation getting along?"
 The reference is to the jar contain ing a mixture of water, sugar and yeast which each assumes the other to have standing in a warm corner of his house, preparatory to distilling his own spirits. The jest of course exag- gerates conditions, but there is more than enough truth in it to justify it. For home -distilling aourishes in Swe- den.
 From laboring man to lawyer there is no class where one can find men who are able to discuss the advan- tages of this or that method of mak- ing the soup" as the basic liquid is technically termed, or the best ap- paratus for distilling. or how to cleanse the product from fusel oil and of flavoring methods. So widespread, indeed is the practice that the police 1 make apparently little or no effort to | ind and punish violators, except such as distil for sale. These are punished | sharply if found.
 | The incentive to home-distilling is the manner in which the sale of dis 1 titled liquors has been restricted, due to the shortage of grains, sugar. -beets and potatoes. The allowance has been cut to two quarts each three months Before the war it was a quart each week.
 There is suspicion in some ouar. ters that the present restrictions are needlessly severe and in part dictated by prohibitionist sentiment. SWedes
 will not suffer diatation even by g
 majority in matters of food and drink
 The result is home-distilling.
 A further result of the restrictions

ALLIES DAMAGE SIX HUN ARMIES
 SINCE JULY 15

Paris, Aug. 22-The Allies have damaged six German armies since July Is, and the British no ware eat ing into the seventh, with the spread of the battle northward and over , front of seventy miles. Whether the enemy is prepared or unprepared Allied efforts have had the same result and the Germans have been outgener- alled and outfought. The armies at tackled and damaged in the last six weeks have been those of Gems. Won Zines, Won Mudra, Won Boehn, Won Eben, Won Hutier and Won Der Mar witz.
 On Wednesday the German resis- tance was most desperate on the right Of Gen. Mangin's army in the neigh borhood of Bieuxy. If the French are able to reach the neighboring vil- lage of Juvigny, the salient marked |, by the villages of Juvigny, Osly and Pasly would become untenable for Gen. Won Eben who would be oblig- ed to retreat beyond the Soissons- Coucy-Le Chateau road. The Ger man situation is unenviable enough at present, but would become still worse as the French progressed. The Ger l mans also would have to abandon the i Vesle- -Aisne line and go back to the Chemin des Danes.
 Military observers are convinced that the Germans will end their de- fense by falling back to the old Hin denburg line al along the front.

ASKED TO LIST
 ROOMS WITH THE FEDERAL BUREAU

Families who have light housekeep- ing rooms and are in 8 position to take families with children are asked to list their rooms with the United States Room Registration Bureau, at 303 Fairfield avenue. D. H. Green man. ager, states that the workers who are coming to Bridgeport to work in the hamilton plants, can find no homes for their families. The housing project will not be ready for several months, and married men are not able to find accommo dations for their wives and children, and as the coming draft will deplete the ranks of the young un- married men, the older ones must find comfortable homes.
 It is a matter of patriotism, and any landlord who discriminates against the housing of children is asked at least for the duration of the war, to allow the houses to be used by war workers with families.

 When it was pointed out to Post master Greene, that Postmaster David A. Wilson of Hartford, opposed the employment of women lettercarriers upon the ground that even older men would prove more efficient the local postmaster said T am not against giving women trial as letter carriers and I believe that in the event they were needed they would make good. As far as my experience with women mail carriers goes I may say that the ladies we have handling the rural free delivery routes, they have given the utmost satisfaction and no one could wish for better workers"
 Superintendent of Police Redgate did not think it right to speak of wom- en police for Bridgeport, but so many cities are following the example of New York and London in that respect that in the belief of many the time isn't far distant before Bridgeport will possess a squad of policewomen uni formed like their sisters in New York

 rules Demurrer.

Middletown, Aug. 22-Legal time in Connecticut conforms to the act of Congress under a status of 1884, in the opinion of Judge James R. Edlin of the city court, who overruled to- day a demurrer in case before him.

 The cases of the four others were called on Aug. 12. Gustaf B. Carl son, their counsel, contended that the raid was really at 11:15 p. m. of the day preceding. In demurrer MT. Carlson held that as the state had not formally adopted the daylight saving plan the legal time in the state had not been changed. Judge EdHn de- cided that the act of Congress ac- complished the purpose of not merely causing clocks to be set ahead, but actually and legally advanced stand ard time for one hour.
