MURDER CHARGE AGAINST BANDIT
 OF LOCAL FAME

 his money, whereupon he accused the Bridgeport man of. cheating him and demanded that his losses be returned. When the man refused Lasalle drew a gun and the local man fled from the pool room to a nearby saloon, with Lasalle hot on his trail.
 Lasalle entered the saloon with his revolver belching forth fire, and emp tied the chambers in the direction in which his intended prey. had disap- peared. Occupants of the place had meanwhile adjourned to 8 safe haven behind the bar and overturned tables.
 The noise of the shooting brought the police to the scene and the fact that LasaIle's revolver was known to be empty lent courage to the cornered men, and LasalIe realizing he was in a dangerous position dashed from the saloon with 8 large crowd at his heels.
 That the man was desperate is indi- cated by what followed. Running from the mob at top speed he jumped on the front platform of a north bound Main street car, and pressing the empty revolver to the head of the mOtorman ordered him to keep going at his best speed. Between Gilbert and State street he dashed from the car, and made his way through building, finally coming out at La fayette street, where he was captured by Special Officer Reilly at the corner of Lafayette street and South avenue
 The murder in New York with which Lasalle and Cassidy are charged, was one of the most brutal in the annals of the New York rtolice department
 Shortly before midnight a little over two weeks ago, two men mounted to the platform of the Westchester eIe- vated extension of the subway at h. tervaie and while the ticket chopper had gone to nearby restaurant, murdered the aged ticket seller and escaped in a taxi with the available money in the cash drawer.
 The theft amounted to $48. After diGgent investigation, the New York police arrested the bandits, and with the past record of LasaIIe supplied by Detective Bray of this city, they be ieve they have enough evidence to send 10th men to the electric chair.
 Cassidy has also been in the hands of the Bridgeport police. and his rec ord is well known by Detective Cap- tain E. o. Cronan.

HOME SERVICE
 SECTION REPORT

Since the Bureau of Foreign Com munications started under the Home Service Section of the Bridgeport Red Cross in the County Court house, mes sages have been sent to enemy coun- tries by friends and relatives in Bridgeport People who have not been heard from in years have been located and relatives long since given up as dead have been found. It ire quently takes months to transmit a message and locate the person in ques- Gion, but the joy and gratitude dis played by each stranger on our shores when he has inquired to hear from hls Ldear ones he has left behind, makes up many times for the time and diff ficulty of the task.
 Mrs. Frank Thompson and Mrs. William B. Boardman are in charge of this work at the County Court house.
 Only today a dear, old lady came into the office and asked to speak to the dear, dark haired woman who bIesses me every time I see her and to ask if she would mind having a few flowers, ''Do you mind my coming in anu SlIJlnS tUNll anu tetAtA444s5 "1CAA , VI S' you are the only one in the world l can talk freely to, since my hoy went away, and if you don't mind l would like to bring you in few flowers. |" This was an elderly Hungarian peas ant woman who had not heard from her boy since he went over seas. Every man and woman who comes into the bureau has some such story of suffering, hardship and heartache. They come back to the office day after day to ask if some reply has yet been received. When news toes come the agony of the suspense is forgot ten. This department is constantly advertising in both the foreign and English speaking newspapers for those who have been separated by the war and trusting to be brought to- gether again.

 Restrictions governing weekly newspapers will be left open, because the amount of paper consumed by these publications was not sufficient to affect materially the newsprint sit uation.
 Restrictions on the manufacture oi wall paper also are withdrawn effect i've at once.

CHILDREN HATE
 PILLS, CALOMEL
 AND CASTOR OIL
If cross, feverish, constipat- ed, give California
 Syrup of Figs"

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose' mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is we'll founded. Their tender little 'insides" are injured by them.
 If your childs stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs" Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children ove to takO it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask your druggist for bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on eacn bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. See that it Is made by California Fig Syrup Company" Re- fuse any other kind with contempt.- Adv.

TOMPKTNS TELLS
 ABOUT DELAYS

Testimony of President E. DeVoe Tompkins in the action of E. DeVoe Tompkins. Inc, against the city for damages for forfeiture of two bridge contracts was introduced before Judge Frank D. Haines in the superior court today to show how the corporation had been delayed and damaged by dilatory tactics Of the engineers in charge of the work for the city. He was asked regarding the delay especi- ally for the East Washington avenue bridge, and said he had been stopped from commencing work by the com- mission. He also ascribed the delays of the work on the Grand street bridge to action of the city. His di- rect examination had not been com- pleted at recess, although he has now been on the witness stand for four and one-half court days

LOCAL BOARD NOW ADVISES BUYING
 OF SMALL GOAL
Say Dealers Have Goodly Amount of Pea Coal and
 Gan Sell It Cheaper.

There being a considerable amount of pea coal in this city, the local board has made arrangements with the dealers to supply the peddlers with this coal at a reduced price which will enable them to sell this size of coal at 80 cents per bag of 125 pounds, the price for other sizes being 90 cents. As this size coal can be economically used in small stoves, the board believes that all persons who are in the habit of purchasing coal from peddlers should at once provide themselves with this kind of coal.
 This service is not intended-for per- sons who have already secured a DOT tion of their coal through the dealers, but is intended to provide immediate relief to consumers who have small storage place for coal.
 Every peddIer is instructed by the board not to sell larger amount than two bags to each customer per week, and ask the cooperation of every citizen to enable them to make this distribution of coal through the peddlers as large as possible.
 While the local situation is acute and in spite of the statements made in the newspapers that Bridgeport has received more coal than other towns, the local board is making every effort to secure the allotment promised to Bridgeport before Christmas which was the basis of distribution upon which they planned their work.
 During the past year the local board has notified the state and fed eral authorities of the exact situation regarding this city, have suggested and shown by schedules, charts, etc, how the coal should be distributed to the various local dealers. They are now placing the matter squarely Up to those responsible for this distribution and believe that even at this late mo- ment real efforts are being made for immediate shipment of anthracite coal especially to the dealers who have carried out most completely the in- structions and rulings of the U. S. Fuel Administration.
 Large shipments of anthracite coal may not be made until the latter part of December. The careful and con- servative use of coal by the domestic users will greatly help to relieve the situation.
 The burning of wood is strongly urged at this time and there is a fair supply in some of the dealers yards.
 The wood fuel committee, under the chairmanship of Sumner Simpson will be ready to deliver wood in small lots in a short time. Proper notice will be given when these arrangements are completed.

Jump from Bed
 in Morning and
 Drink Hot Water Tells why everyone should drink hot water each morning
 before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, Respondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really inca pacitated by illness.
 If we all would practice inside bathing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thou sands of half-sick, manufacturing souls with pasty, muddy compIexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy checked people every where. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our present mode of living. For into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must bee arried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-. like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. @ -. -
 Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morn- ing, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indiges- tible material, waste, sour bile and toxins.
 Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store. but is sufficient to demonstrate to any one, it's cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system Adv

HEARING ON
 HOLT CASE

Coroner John J. Phelan has con- tinued the inquiry into the death of Mrs. Anna Holt, struck by an au tomobile, Sunday night, until Friday morning. He heard several witnesses yesterday afternoon, including Eliza beth Holt, daughter of the deceased, and Charles Mccarthy, driver of the automobile which struck Mrs. Holt.
 Miss Holt told the coroner she and her mother were about to board q trolley car in Fairfield avenue near Waldorf avenue, which had stopped to allow other passengers to get on. They were on the side of the street opposite to that upon which the troll ley car stopped. As they were crossing the street going in front of the trolley car, which was headed east, the automobile driven by Nc .Carthy, going west, struck Mrs. Holt. Miss Holt did not actually see her mother struck, as she was in ad- vance and her back was turned.
 McCarthy's story of the accident did not differ materially from tha, told by Miss Holt.
