JUDGE BUSINESSES
 BOTH COMPLAINTS IN BEAN DIVORCE
Judge Warner Refuses To Separate Wealthy Green
 wich Couple After Trial.

Judge Donald Warner of the Su- perior Court has handed down a de- cision in the case of Sidney A. Bean against Sally N. Bean to the effect that he dismisses both the complaint and the cross complaint This action was very hotly contested and after the husband sued the wife for desertion she brought a counter complaint al- Ieging infidelity with one Sybil FL wood.
 The wife stated that she left tha Bean home in Greenwich at the ex- press desire of her husband and that he paid the rent for the flat which she now occupies in New York. Bean finally not only charged his wife with desertion but also of improper con- duct. At this Mrs. Bean entered a counter suit and demanded $50,000 alimony. Bean went on the stand and swore that in a, few years he had dissipated the patrimony of nearly $10O,00O left him by his father and that now he was without funds.

Waldo c. Bryant. chief of the Bridgeport district of the United States Ordnance Department seemed most optimistic this morning in an terview with a Times reporter re- garding the local labor sntuation. He said that while the members of the local unions were holding meetings and voted a general strike to take effect tomorrow noon, if the local fac tories did not accede to the demands of the workers, he hoped the m en would realize that such a momen- tuous question could not be decided in a few hours, and the Taft-Walsh board, the highest labor tribunal in the country, would undoubtedly give the matter it's prompt and full at- tention.
 The principal trouble will be classi- fication of the workers, to suit both the manufacturers and the men.
 It has been stated by local manu- facturer that many men who are not really expert mechanics, and who have only been able to command a good wage on account of war de- mands, will insist on being classed as experts and receive the maximum wage.
 "The same holds good in the ranks of the toolmakers, and it is stated that young men who had not nearly finished their period of apprentice ship have been receiving the same wage as men who had spent many years at the work.
 Many of these have been granted exemption through their connection with war industries, and are only es caping military duty because of the pressing need of men in local fac tories. For such young men to bC instrumental in holding up the manu facture of sorely needed arms anC ammunition, by the boys who ar, possibly giving their lives that de mocracy may prevail, is something that will not appeal to public senti ment.
 'The government at Washington working under terrific strain and tn demands of the local unions are no the only matters under consideration
 Many are giving their services a this time practically free, and loya citizens are making many sacrifice for the ultimate success of our gallan army.
 "The Taft-Walsh board is made u of men whose integrity is unques tioned and there is no possible doub that the questions to be put befor them regarding the demands o Bridgeport mechanics will receive tn fullest and fairest consideration.
 '"The local factories have not re

The action is being heard by Judge Donald Warner and the wife charges intolerable cruelty. He also said that the door of his home was open to his wife even now if she would only go was a ring of sincerity about his statements that was most convincing.
 He admitted having shaken her a few times but said the reason for that was that she repeatedly lied to him and broke her word over and over again.
 On one occasion she went away early in the morning from her home on Stratford avenue and did not re- turn at all. He waited until almost midnight and then being worried lest some accident had befallen, started out to try and locate her. She had gone to her mothers and so he start ed out for her parents home on Whitney avenue.
 He obtained a jitney to the corner of Main and Mairfield avenue and then had to walk to Capitol avenue He took a cross cut through a lot which shortened, his route several blocks when he suddenly came upon his wife walking arm and arm with a soldier in the uniform of the United States army. Back of her were walk ing her parents and her two sisters He remonstrated with her and she ! told him it was her duty to see this soldier to the railroad station.

lucky COAL MINING.

The mountains continue in the
grip of some of the worst weather
ever known in the history of East
ern Kentucky. Snow is still falling
almost every day, and at many times
when the thermometer neared zero.
There is much suffering, especially
among the poor.
Practically all business is sus-
pended and very little outside devel-
opment work is going on. Many
people employed in building and
construction work have gone int5
the mines and are now digging coal.
AS. a result coal is being mined in
greater quantities than ever before
Operators are furnished all the cars
they can load and there is unusual
activity everywhere. There is not
an idle mine in the entire coal

WHY NOT MOBOLIZE THE AUTO
MOBILES, ALSO?

President Wilson's message to
Congress; setting forth his reasons
'or mobilizing the railroads under
Government control, inferentially
imposes upon automobile users AMI
manufacturers the need to- co-ope-
rate voluntarily with the spirit of
the message of mobilizing the auto
mobile through individual initia-
tive" said J. N. Gum, President of
the United States Tire Company.
Several weeks ago Colonel Sam
uel P. Colt, President of the United
States Rubber Company, in an inter-
view, urged automobile owners of
both passenger and commercial
cars to use their cars more and more
to relieve the transportation press
ure on the Nations railroads and
merchants delivery service. Other
leaders in the countrys business, not
alone those in the automobile indus
try, have since urged that this ad-
vice be followed. 1t has met with
unanimous approval.
individual economy should be
practiced to the end that no waste
age shall result. 1t is not necessary
to assume that National means cur
failing the use of automobiles.
1.-THE natural function of the auto
mobile, both passenger and CONNER
cial, is the transportation of man
and merchandise for short hauls. If
this is realized, tremendous
amount of railroad mileage may be
diverted from short hauls to long
hauls, and just that much pressure
on the railroads transportation ia
cilities relieved.
National economy means read
justment, but not necessarily cur
tailment of the markets for CONNER
cial and passenger automobiles
Nor will it reduce the use of auto
mobile tires or other accessories
necessary to the efficient operation
of a motor car.
"The National need calls for con-
structive economy in the operation
of automobiles, but not in unthink-
ing curtailment.
ut is my firm belief that, when
we have satisfactorily ended this
war, the automobile and kindred in
dustries will find a market for all
the goods that they can produce.
Many concerns are being called up
on by the Government for war pro-
ducts. This will spur these manu-
facturers on to use of their re-
maing facilities in even greater eff
cheney than has ever been known
before. 20 that during and after the
