FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE ON THE
 SHORE LINE
Engineer Dane and Fireman Green of New London
 Killed.

New Haven, Aug. 8-Engineer Green, both of New London, were killed in a rear end collision of freight xrains, on the long turnout of the Shore Line Division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad just east of Westbrook, during, last night. The early report of the col lision made to the company's operat- ing offices here fails to mention the cause. Railroad officers are making an inquiry.
 About the time a shap electrical storm was sweeping through the Say brook Junction section which is near the mouth of the Connecticut river. The storm did not reach this city and was only indicated by lightning flashes in a bank of clouds in the northern sky.
 The railroad report shows that O. P. 2 freight from Maybrook to Provi- dence passed Westbrook at 9:26 p. m., followed by N. M. 10 freight from New Haven to Midway at 9:39 on the same track. The collision of the lat ter with the former was between Westbrook and Saybrook Junction. The engine of N. M. 10 freight after striking the rear of the Providence train toppled over the embankment. The crew were caught under it. Their bodies were eXtricated today. Ten of twelve cars were smashed, blocking | tracks, one of which was cleared at l Os20 that ira ffiP west was made possible over tone track. The night expresses were de- toured by the way of Middletown.

TELLS HOW MONEY FOR HOUSING WAS
 APPROPRIATE
Manager W. H. Ham and G. M. Flames Make Ad- dresses at Breaking
 Ground.

W. H. Ham, manager for the at the formal breaking of ground for the first houses to be constructed here under the government appro- priation at Connecticut and Carroll avenues. MT, Ham said:
 "A little over a year ago 1t became my duty to take up the matter of the housing movement with the authori- ties at Washington. A year ago the last of this month, I was called upon to represent the city of Bridgeport ill it's needs at a meeting, the first one held on the subject of housing of war workers in America, That meeting was small gathering of men inter ested in the subject. There was no organized movement to carry out the work of building houses by the gov ernment, but at that meeting there was the thought which grew into rec concentrations and later grew into &C., ton at Washington and the results ot today's public gathering to break ground for the starting of a building program of about 1000 homes. is Q fairly speedy result of movements during the last year.
 There have been many criticisms of the movement at Washington to as- sist in home building. Conservative men have said that it was too radical a movement. Members of Congress have been afraid to take a step so radical as that of having the govern ment finance home building. Bridge | port has been in the foreground of this program from the start. A let | ter signed by some of Bridgeport's l foremost citizens was read before Congress. The date of this letter IS Sept. 4th, 1917, five days after the first meeting on the subject. This letter was signed by Charles G. San. ford, president First Bridgeport Ma. tiona1 Bank; Clinton Barnum Seeley president, Bridgeport Trust Co.,. Frank Miller, president, City Nation | Bank; George E. Crawford, president Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce

 me the confidence that the people o
 Bridgeport were from beginning t , end acting squarely with the Unite States government, that the city c
 Bridgeport had a definite need o houses, and that, it's citizens wer willing to support the housing move
 ment.
 Some of the fundamental thing that are worth while in the buildin of houses for the working classe which must be considered and whic the people should know about, are:
 First. The permanency of building

 District Attorney Kane declared that Thun and Jansen, together with the New York men, Wilhelm Kaupe, Rudolph Paginstecker and Charles H. Unverzagt. made contributions to the support of German periodicals in this country.
 Prof. Scheidt in statement de- -clared there was nothing incriminat- ing in the letters received at his home.

MatrOn's Position
 Still Unified

Several women of ability and patri- otic impulse have applied to the Bridgeport War Bureau for the posi- ton of matron of the Soldiers and Sailors club on Golden Hill street, but the committee is not yet ready to announce ts selecton. In fact it would appreciate it if any who think themselves capable of filling the place and wish it would file applications at once with the War Bureau, Room 60, First Bridgeport National Bank building. In this way it hopes to ob- tain the services of a woman who will not only care for the clubhouse but will be able to assist the men in the service of the United States and it's allies in many ways. Quarters will be furnished the matron and her hus- band,
