Two Claimants For
 Murray Money

Because Hattie Dickinson of Stam- ford and May Brewer of Ossining, N. Y, both claim s1.oo0 on deposit with the Stamford Trust Co., the latter is asking the Superior court to decide which one is entitled to the money.
 It is stated that on Oct. 8, 1917, Leo Murray opened an account with the Trust company in the name of Amy Murray, which was later trans7 ferred to Murray as trustee for May Brewer. After Miss Murray died, there was still a balance of $1,000 in the bank, which Hattie Dickson claims, as she was executrfx of Mur- rays estate. May Brewer then put in her claim for the money. The suit is returnable to the September term of court.

TWO AIRPLANES
 FURNISH THRILLS

Bridgeporters were given thrills by the wholesale yesterday when two high powered military airplanes in charge of army avitators performed a series of stunts over the city. The machines were part of an entire squadron numbering 36 machines in all which left the Hazelhurst, L. l., hangars in pairs to fly over the many cities of Connecticut and aid in the big Labor Day demonstration.
 The two planes which manoeuvred over Bridgeport were in charge of Lieutenant Harry Pierson and Sar- geant William Coons. Both machines landed upon the golf course of the Brooklawn Country Club for the pur. pose of filling up with fuel and there was a grand rush of sightseers who endeavored to take pictures of the planes and the crews. They were disappointed in this, however, and those who succeeded in snapping pie lures had the films confscated by the aviators.

SERCT. COOPER SPEAKS AT WOOD
 PARK THURSDAY

Sergeant William Cooper, a ma chine gunner of the regular army gassed and wounded in the hip by shrapnel in March, will be the prin- cipal speaker at the band concert at Wood park Thursday evening. Ser geant Cooper is in town on sick leave from the Walter Reed hospital in Washington, D. C., and the War Bu- reau has availed itself of the oppor- tunity to let him tell his story to the people here. At the Bullard gun shop yesterday he aroused great enthusi- asm by his address.
 Compensation Commissioner D. T. Buckingham, one of the most popular of the Four Minute speakers, will also speak. It is expected that the meet ing will be one of the most pleasing of the weekday meetings held in con- nection with band concerts.

WANTS ONE
 SYSTEM FOR ALL PHONES
Postmaster General Burleson Plans the Elimination of Competition With the
 Bell System

Postmaster General Burleson has undertaken the unification of all tele- phone lines In the United States into a single system. With the American Telephone & Telegraph Company's s lines as the central unit, it is planned to bring the numerous lines now com peting with the Bell telephone net work into the system, a project which the Bell management has long sup ported as a development of the great est importance to the telephone in this country. Several months of negotia- tions with the owners of numerous in- dependent companies are expected to pass before details of the plan are ready for announcement.
 N. C. Kingsbury, Vice President of the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, and George w. Rob- inson, President of the Tri-State Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, have been asked by MT. Burleson to exam inc into ways and means for uniting the lines in a practical way. These telephone experts will undertake the work this week, and 1t is expected that many conferences will be held in this and interior cities as the situation is presented to officers and stockholders of the concerns which do not now eX- change service with the Bell compan. ies. There are approximately 19,71E telephone lines spread over the coun try, including everything from thu main toll lines of major concerns tC tte short rural wires which are espec -<alv numerous in the Middle anC Southwest. Of these, 1,2S9 are listed as competing, some with members o the Bell system and others with out side independent corcerns.
 It Is expected that consolidation of lines which compete directly vii be recommended in some cases an fn such consultations 1t is probabl that certain lines of the Bell systen will be subordinated to present out side lines, the purpose being to giv the quickest and best service at tn least possible expense in the way 0 overhead costs. The Governmer may arrange to buy some of the inde pendent lines which at present com pete with the Bell companies. but tn expectation is held that, for the mos Bart, traffic agreements will be urg Cd upon the owners of the outsid } properties on terms which will be ( advantage to them.
 The American Telephone and Tele graph Company is dominant in tn telephone business of the natio through it's own long distance and lC cal lines and the interest which 1t he in numerous companies. The con pany's own property. together with tt property of its subsidiaries and u concerns which connect with the lines form the Bell system. The Be

If he chooses to stroll northward from the main hospital buildings, he will find the forest denser and wilder, and al the other side of the forest he will come upon the hospital vegetable gar dens and greenhouses.

MERCHANT SEAMEN
 FAST BEING TRAINED
Shipping Board Has Turned Out 5000 Officers From
 36 Schools.

An educational system almost as broad in scope as the shipbuilding pro- gram has been built up by the Ship ping Board to train officers for the American merchant marine, which is growing at the rate of better than two ships day.
 When shipbuilding really began in this country a year ago there were
 many sages in Washington who assert ed that the problem of manning the
 huge number of ships contempla ted
 was a greater one than the building
 of ships, because there were no train ed officers and very few seafaring men | in the country. The men, 1t was said,
 were not to be had.
 By a recruiting system, however,
 covering the nation, the Shipping Board has been able to keep at least abreast of all demands. In thirteen
 months upward of 5000 men, of two yearsI or more sea service have been given intensive training. graduated
 and licensed from the thirty-six off,
 cers' schools along the Atlantic coast
 on the lakes, the Gulf and the Pasific
 There are now 1,139 men attending
 classes in these schools to fit them
 selves for command.
 In the past thirteen months a total
 of 8,069 students were admitted to the schools and 4,439 students were graduated. The graduation of the pr esent classes will bring the total above 5000. The term is six weeks
 in a navigation school and a month
 in an engineering school. Graduates
 are examined by the Steamboat h.
 spection Service before being licensed as second or third mates or second or third assistant engineers.
 Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board also reported that for training apprentices to serve in merchant rews the board now has ten training and receiving ships In operation. witt total of 3,125 apprentices on board Inexperienced youths are trained 1T six weeks on these vessels before be- . ing sent to sea.
 . Volunteering for the merchant ser vice is now brisk, an average of 15i applicants a day being enrolled fo : t, aiming as apprentices.
 While sea dogs only are accepted for training as officers. the young mel
 who go aboard the training ships t be shaped into sailors, firemen, cook 2 and messmen are raw material, iron I the sailors standpoint. Many of then never saw the ocean until they report ed for duty on the training ships.

STAMFORD
Special to The Times.)

Stratford, Sept. 3.---On Friday eve ming, September 6, a meeting of the Democratic town committee has been called and it is hoped that all those interested will attend.
 Private Percy c. Buddington, who is stationed at the training school at Newton, Mass, spent the weekend with his wife and sister on Broad street.
 Mrs. Sterling Filmer and daughter Catherine have returned home after two weeks visit with relatives on Long Island.
 It has been requested by Mrs Rich ard Howell of Elm street to ask the people of Stratford to help her supply the poor of the town with clothing. The children started to school today and there are a great many who have bought new clothes. The old ones will be greatly appreciated and if those who will dispose of them will call her up by telephone she will be glad to call for them. At the present time Mrs. Howell is looking after four families with eight children in each, their ages ranging from Il months to 14 years. Although their parents are steadily employed the present condi- tfons make it impossible for them to obtain the proper clothing for their children. It is hoped that the people will respond freely as it is will be thankfully received.
 l Egan Miller of Philadelphia is spending a few days with his mother, Mrs John Parks, of East Broadway. | Sterling Filmer is spending a week camping at Far Mill River.

CHAPTER II.

I went to Aix-la-Chappelle to a hos
pital 1 met many more wounded men
who had fought in Belgium. All were
of the opinion that the Belgian dead
numbered as many civilians as SOL
diers. Even if the German soldiers
who fought in Belgium do not admit
the crueIties committed against the
Belgians, it cannot be denied that at
least so per cent of the cruelties
known to the world to have been COM
mitted in Belgium were only too true.
A young soldier who lay next to me
in the hospital told me that his COM
pany, during q street fight in Liege,
was given orders to kill everybody
without discrimination. Systematical-
ly, one house after another was set on
fire. The inhabitants either fell in the
flames or became the victims in the
streets to the gun barrels Of the Ger
man kultur-bearers.
At the time doubted the words Of
my neighbor, even though l had seen
what German warfare meant. After
q few days l was released from the
hospital and again restored to my de-
foot, l reached my detachment by ten
o'clock in the evening. Our transport
moved this time over Trier to Luxem-
burg. The little grand duchy of Lux
emburg was Overrun entirely by Ger
man soldiers. The Germans who had
made their homes in Luxembourg had
everything taken away from them, eS-
pecially the farmers, all food, without
thought Of payment, so that in Luxem-
burg at this time there was q shortage
Of food. The people here as we'll as
in Belgium were very friendly, yet they
harbored a terrible bitterness against
the German government, which had
loosed it's troops like band of robbers
and murderers over their peaceful
country.
Belgium and Luxembourg, the two
first unhappy victims of the damnable
German politics and its drunkenness
with power!
That the Luxembourg citizens detest-
ed Germany an incident showed me
which happened in the village of Mar
moth. We were in a friendly CONVEX
sation with Luxembourg farmer. Two
officers approached and listened. One
officer, a captain, asked the Luxem-
burger, what dc you think of the
war, and of the quickness of Germany?
There is only one Germany, isn't |
there?'
eyes," replied the farmer. ''Thank
the Lord"
For those four words the farmer
was arrested at once and transported |
to Germany as a court prisoner. I
could never learn what became of |
him.

JOKE WAS A TWISTER.

"The son of millionaire is an heir
to millions, while an organ has mill

"But what about the gum pot?" in
