CHARGE AGAINST
WIFE OF ARMY
MAN DISMISSED

Chicago, April 19.---The charge Of
disorderly conduct against Prof. Will
liam Isaac Thomas and Mrs. r. M.
Granger was dismissed by Judge Gra-
ham in the moral court today. Attor-
ney Clarence Darrow of the defense
was upheld in his contention that al
though the elderly sociologist and the
pretty young wife of an army officer
were found in a room together in q
hotel, it did not constitute disorderly
conduct.
Mrs. Changers husband, lieuten-
ant in the signal corps sailed for
France in February and almost i'm
mediately the friendship between her
and Prof Thomas began. The be-
trayal of the soldier husband, admit
ted by the defense today, has greatly
intensified the interest felt in the case
by Mr.. Bielaski, agent for the federal
secret service, who is gathering every
scrap of evidence that might possibly
show violation of the Mann law.
Prof. Thomas and Mrs. Granger
made several trips to Philadelphia,
and detectives are examining every
trail to learn whether he paid her
fare.

MERCHANTS ARE
VERY CARELESS
SAY The POLICE

According to a report issued by the
police, the merchants of Bridgeport
are ranked among the most careless
in the entire country. The police
patrol in the heart of the business
district last night discovered no less
than seven stores unlocked after the
owners had gone home, while in 9TH
er places Of business five windows
easy of access from the street, were
found to have been left wide open,
The stores which were left so
temptingly open for thieves were not
all little ones, as some on the list are
among the largest and most important
in the city, and would be rich ''pick-
ings'' for any stray burglars who
might be prowling around.
In each and every case the doors
had been left unlocked by the pro-
prietors and in one instance the
KEYS to the door and to the desks
and inner offices had been allowed to
remain in the lock. 1t was not until
the proprietor of the store had been
called up from police headquarters
and informed of the matter he dis
covered he had left his property at
the mercy of thieves.
Tn giving out the above statement
Captain E. o. Cronan, chief Of the
detective bureau, said:
rs it any wonder there is an epf5
den1ic of burglaries in Bridgeport? ,
"In my opinion, men who own
property and leave it at night in such
a careless fashion, do not deserve to
have property or if they have prop
erty, they need a guardian of some
kind to- look after them

OF BATTLE RAGING
Action Will Seal Union
Which Exists Between
Allied Peoples.

Washington, April 19-Ital-
ian regiments already are in
France and form the right wing
of the Allied army, the Italian
embassy announced today.
In making the announcement
the embassy gave out a wireless
dispatch from Rome saying
Premier Orlando hud o1InUuno-
eU mat the Italians soon would
be in the thick of the battle.
The wireless message said
Premier Orlando has announced
to the Chamber of Deputies that the
right wing of the united army in
France is formed by Italian regi-
ments. These regiments soon will be
in the thick Of the battles The an
b nouncement was received with the
greatest enthusiasm and applause.
The deputies, including the members
Of the Socialist party. joined in a
great demonstration with the French,
British and American armies. The
news was communicated to the Ital-
ian people and was received with
great demonstrations of satisfaction.
The Italians are feling proud of the
fact that they can prove their valor
alongside the French, British and
American troops. The opinion pre-
walls that the demonstrated unity in
military operations will involve the
greatest political and moral unity
among the four great nations during
and after the war. Many officers and
soldiers asking to be incorporated in
the regiments sent to France"
In explanation of the apparent
anomaly involved in sending Italian
troops to the French war front while
French and British troops now are in

out here today that Italy has a large

BOSCH MAGNETIC
. CO. TAKEN over
BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, April 19-The govern
ment has taken over the big plants of
the Bosch Magnetic Co. in Springfield,
Mass, and Plainfeld, N. J., and di-
rctors will be named by Alien Prop
erty Custodian Palmer to conduct
their operation. Investigation show
ed, it was announced today, that the
company is entirely enemy owned.
The move has been under contepl-
plation for some time and thorough
investigation has been made of the
concerns affairs. While the company
is capitalized at only s75,000, its real
valuation, it is said, is about $1,000
900. The company's output, it was
announced, will be used largely by
the aeroplane service, the navy and
other branches of the government.
he Bosch Magnetic Co. plant in this
city is one of the largest in the world
devoted to the manufacture of mag
netos, it is said. Prior to Americas
entrance to the war large number
of German officials were connected
with the concern. Most of these have

his residence, where he told them
that of they stood together no power
on earth would defeat them The
metho!5s to be employed to resist con-
scription will lbe announced tomor-
row.
The bishops at Maynooth have de-
cided that conscription forced on Ire
land against the will OF the nation
and in defiance of the protests of the
leaders is an oppressive and inhuman
law which the Irish people have a
right to resist The bishops also di-
rect the clergy to celebrate a public
mass of intercession to avert con-
scription in every church in leland on
Sunday, and to hold public meetings
in every parish to administer the fol-
lowing pledge against conscription:
I'VE pledge ourselves solemnly to
lone another to resist CONSUMPTION by
the most effective means at our dis
posal."
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-19

The resolution was similar to one
adopted by the Irish bishops in May
nooth earlier in the day. The con-
ference then adjourned until Friday.
In their resolution the bishops de-
c1ared conscription was being forced
on ireland and that it was an op-
pressive and inhuman law which the
Irish people have the right to resist
'sby all means consonant with the
law of God" The Irish clergy was
directed to announce days for receiv-
ing contributions of money and par
ish meetings. will be held next Sunday
to gain adherents to the resolution.
The authorities in Ireland are tax
ing steps to deal with the threatening
situation.
Thousands of people waited outside
the Manison House for the result of
the conference, which will sit again
today. When members left they were

Important Points Occupied

With the French Army in France,
April 1S.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-The French administered
sharp setback today to the German
forces which since the great push
have been hammering away relent
lessly in an attempt to get astrtde tn,
railroad connecting Amiens with Cler-
mont. The attack began at dawn
along the front extending about five
miles between Themes and Mailly
Raineval. Several hundred Germans
were captured and important points
which the enemy had occupied were
seized.
Before the French went over the
top the Germans sent over poison
shells. The French artillery prepara-
tions were most vigorous. Then the
infantry went forward in a dense mist
with a fine rain. The soldiers went
over their knees in mud On the
northern flank they soon carried the
commanding heights. Meanwhile in
the center another wave of infantry
entered Senecat wood, where numer-
Gus machine gun emplacements which
defended the approaches to CaStel
were reduced by grenadiers and rifle
men.
The outskirts of Castel were reached
and the garrison of that town was
menaced.
Farther south other French units
Occupied the dominating heights and
advanced toward Anchin farm, on the
road between ALLY sur Move and Mo-
reuil. Everywhere the Germans Of
fered the sternest opposition but moth
ing could stay the French advance.
When the fight Gained down pris-
oners still were coming in. A num-
her of machine guns fell into the
hands of the French. The German
casualties were very heavy.

ONE MORE VICTIM
OF PICKPOCKETS

While watching the fire which
ragged in Hallett street Wednesday
night, George Pollak, of Green
street had his pockets picked and the
sum of $45 stolen. In making COM
plaint to the police today, George said
that he saw two men pushing their
way to the front of the crowd which
was watching the fire fighters, but
was so excited that he did not notice
them jostle him as they passed by.
Ppllak's complaint adds but one
more to the many already received by
the police by victims of pickpockets in
the crowd which was watching the
fire, the police believe they are all
the victims of the same pair of light
fingered gentry.
