MANY SHAKy ON CONSTITUTION OF
 UNITED STATES
Applicants for Naturaliza tion Given Sharp Cues
 tioning in Court.

From answers received to questions lat the Civil Superior Court before Judge Haines today when a large number of applicants appeared at the naturalization hearing, it seems very few will be fortunate enough to be- come citizens. Here is some common advice that is often given to school pupils before a test, in history, which should also serve those who are to appear at the continued session: Know your constitution. Read the newspapers so that you may be ac- quainted with the great problems of today"
 It seems that a lack of the funda- mental laws of the constitution that govern this country is the main cause of the inability of the majority to be- come citizens of the United States. The constitution may be rather com pIex but it will be interesting reading to any one at the present time, who is at a loss to understand the princi- pies of the United States government.
 Contradictory replies to questions, causing perjury, was another thing manifest. Yet there was a number o1 men who knew their text SD well that they simply rattled off +',a o--- sometimes before question was fin- ished.

PRESENT HOSPITALS FOR
 SOLDIERS CARE
Better Plan Than Convert ing Army Posts to That
 Purpose.

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 24-Ad- dressing the opening session of the convention of the American Hospital Association here today Dr. Arthur B. Ancker, St. Paul, Minn.. advocated the extension and development of ex- isting civil hospitals under govern ment direction for the care of re- turned soldiers, instead of the present plan of using converted army posts and Federal Hospitals and also the building and equipment of special military hospitals.
 This he said, would seem to be con- sistent with economy and with effici- ency of service to both the civil and military hospitals.
 Dr. Ancker urged the adoption of the report of the special committee to consider a plea of reorganization for the association, mot only because it will make possible an association of American Hospitals to promote the in- terests of hospitals and hospital work" not only because 1t will mean more effective war service organiza- ton, but because it paves the way for real effective hospital standardization.

America he declared had put pep into the war" and started the ball rolling towards Berlin"
 Senator Thompson opposed a "makeshift, compromise or half way peace" and declared it must be "fi- nal and conclusive and destroy forev- CT Kaiserism throughout the world.''
 The Allied armies are convinced they are fighting a winning cause and that victory is all but within theis grasp" 'The United States entrance into the war is primarily responsible for this change" he added.
 Not alone in manpower and in ar tillery the Allies predominate but they show superiority in the air. Planes are now active in France from this country. He branded as false state ments made in the Senate some time ago that in July only one battle plane equipped with a Liberty motor was in France.
 ''The truth is.'' he declared, "de- livery of these planes was not ex- pected earlier than July 1. while as a matter of fact the first Liberty motor plane arrived. was set up complete and christened on May IS last and they have been arriving over there at the rate of five or six per dse.

News that the consul general had crossed the Finnish border in safety reached the State Department today in a message from Helsingfores, dated Sept 21. Upon it's receipt Secretary Lansing disclosed that a week ago he ordered MT. Poole, the last Amer ican official remaining at the Bolshe- vik capital to leave Russia.
 The despatch brought no informa- ton concerning British and French of ficials who are detained by the Bol. sheviki and to aid whom Poole, in- sisted upon remaining at his post until ordered away.
 It developed today that an unsub- stantiated rumor recently reached the State Department that the American consulate general at Moscow was be- ing besieged by the Bolsheviki becauss British and French officials were given refuge there. Secretary LAnsirg said he did not believe this report as true. but because of the ruilor and the known seriousness of the situation at Moscow he had discredited Mir. Poole.

CONFIDENT NOW LABOR TROUBLE
 HERE'S ENDED
Examiner Winter of War Labor Board Says Outlook
 in City Is Promising.

Never in the history of labor in a bright outlook for the future ac- cording to Alpheus Winter, examiner for the National War Labor Board in Bridgeport. He is confident that the, troubles which have existed for the last several years between the manufacturers and the workers of this town are at an end and that any trou- ble which may crop up in the future can be disposed of in a manner sat isfactory to all parties concerned.
 In speaking of the matter today Examiner Winter said "All of the ma jor difficulties winch kept the men and their employers apart have been settled by arbitration and now the only questions which remain are of minor nature. The coming here yesterday of both Frank P. Walsh and William Howard Taft, created a feeling on both sides which has had the most happy results.
 T have no doubt whatsoever that the strike method is a thing of the past and anything that might cause a misunderstanding in the factories of Bridgeport in the future will be settled right here in this city. If it is too complex or too large to handle here it will be taken up by the Ma tional Board in Washington, but the men and all parties will keep on working until the solution of the prob lem has been reached to the satisfac- ton of everyone"
 Examiner Winter was very anxious to impress upon the workers that next Thursday night there will be an cleo tion of delegates for the big labor convention, held in the new High school and that the convention itself will be held in the same building on next Saturday at o'clock in the af- ternoon.
 According to the federal officials ev- eryone was happy at the conclusion oc yesterdays brief session of the War Labor Board and any storms which were gathering over the scene were dispelled by the cheeriness of William Howard Taft and the counsel of Frank P. Walsh who, before he left the court house, had all parties united in a determination to push the pro- duction of the munition shops to 100 per cent. ,-

 WITNESSES SAY
Coroner Investigates Death of Fred L. Mills-None
 Saw Blow Struck.

Witnesses examined before Coroner John J. Phelan in the county court today testified that Fred L. Mills, who died in the St. Vincent's hospital as the result of dispute between him and Joseph F. Doherty, was intoxicat- ed and seemed to be looking for some one, when he came to the Stratfield Cafe.
 "I am looking for Doherty," he is alleged to have said. There are two brothers by that name" he con- tinued, lone is a gentleman and the other is a cur"
 Some one in the room told him that Doherty was not in the cafe, and he left the place, but few minutes later he is alleged to have returned. At that time Doherty was in the bar room. Mills kept up his questioning regarding the whereabouts of Doherty until he spied him at the end of the room.
 Then, it is testified, Mills, walked rapidly up to Doherty and banged his fists on the table, saying that he meant to get him. Tt is either you or l." he is accused of saying.
 None of the witnesses present at the hearing this morning said that they saw Doherty strike Mills with bot tie. Although Doherty is alleged to have picked up bottle, he is said to have put it down again.
 Other witnesses who were summon ed to appear today did not show up, and the hearing will be continued.
 Dr. Garlick, the medical examiner said that MT Mills died as the result of a hemorrhage of the brain. He had a few cuts in the upper lip and nose.
 Although those witnesses present stated that they did not see Doherty strike Mills yet it was stated that a fall was heard and Mills was found on the hard floor. When he was placed in chair he was unconscious

COVE GOES TO U. s, HOUSING
 CORP GRAFTON
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce to Take Re
 sponsible Position.

George Cove, who has been eXecu- tive secretary of the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce since it's or ganization three years ago, has tend cred his resignation, and will in the future be connected with the United States Housing Corporation.
 Mr. Cove has been identified with the many activities of the city and was one of the early advocates of housing reform and was prominent in the organization of the Housing com pany. Prior to his coming to Bridge port, he was associated with housing work in Massa chusetts, and his posi- ton in Washington will be on similar lines.
 This morning, Mir. Cove stated:
 "It is with considerable regret that I sever my association with the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce and with my Bridgeport associates who have given so generously of their time and their effort during the last three years for the upbuilding of a high standard of community life in Rridpenort. To them is due all the credit for the rapid growth of com runitv spirit and the organization of community activities, not only within the Chamber of Commerce but in ev- cry other form that has been neces- sary to the solution of Bridgeport's many problems. It has been a, satis- faction to be associated with them in the development of the Chamber and I shall leave it with the assurances that the organization will continue to increase it's activities and develop in strength each year. The Federal Government intends to provide the highest possible standard of commun- itv life in the new towns which they will own and operate and it is upon that work that shall be engaged in Washington.

FINES LEWIS FOR HAVING
 A LOTTERY
Jail Sentence Imposed From Which Lewis Files An Ap- peal to Higher Court. STOCK GAMBLING
 IS CHARGE MADE Clever Scheme Nipped By Activity of Police Captain
 J. H. Began.

Connie Lewis, of Fairfield avenue, when arraigned before the city court today charged with conducting a lot tery on stock quotations, was fined the sum of $10O and given a jail sentence of threeN months. He immediately ap pealed the case and was allowed to go bonds of $500.
 According to the evidence produced in court by the police Lewis was sell ing tickets bearing a number which won varying sums of money if they corr responded with the numbers of stock quotations published in the New York papers the following morning.
 Upon hearing that Lewis was con- ducting this form of gambling Cap tain John H. Reagan, of the First Precinct, sent Patrolman Ludwig to the Lewis place to purchase two tick cts. The policeman, according to his testimony, had no difficulty in secur- ing the numbers and the following day Captain Reagan sent Sergeants Coughlin and Cody to see Lewis, but the latter was away. The officers. however, found a large quantity of the tickets and other evidence which they seized and brought to headquar- ters to be used against the accused.
 Some excitement was thrown into the hearing of the case today as things seemed to be tagging some what, when Assistant Prosecuting At torney Steiber asked permission of the court to take the witness stand and give evidence against Lewis.
 When Attorney Steiber took the stand he told of visit paid by Lewis to him in his law chambers and how he told the accused that he could not discuss the case with him. He stated that he had to explain to Lewis how impossible it was for him to talk over the matter and that the court was the only place to argue the question.
