ET is a long, wide avenue
of vistas. shimmering
u with coolness and beau
ty, In which the new and
charming ideas in Summer
furnishings for porch, sun
parlor, living-room and
breakfast room are dis
PLAYED in a novel and
charming manner.
Visitors from other
cities and our own city, say
Just what the man from
New York said-that the
like of it was never seen
before.
We ourselves have never
done it in this way before.
An artist could spend a
raptdrous hour, and any
home-maker could spend a
quiet but a pleasant one,
from which he or she would
carry away many inspiring
ideas. Another comment
made on the display was:
'Why, it's as good as
taking a course in interior
decoration! J!
And, further, either
home-maker or artist has
the privilege of taking to
himself, if he so choose,
any of these beautiful
things-either the whole
well-composed group, or the
smallest detail of rug, chair
or even dainty jar, lamp, or
cushion, which completes
the picture - for every
thing in it is for sale.
THIS is no idle display to
Il vaingloriously show
what fine things Wana-
makers have, and what
lovely effects our skilled
decorators can create, but
is a practical undertaking
to demonstrate how much
beauty, grace, refreshment
and luxury can be impaired
to a home during one of
our hot American Sum-
mers, if furnished in truly
Summer-like style.
Nor is it a mere illustra-
ton, gorgeous, but pointless
for the person of average
income, Of what money can
do.
It shows rather what
taste can do. Lending
charm to some of these
groups are simple rush
rugs priced only $3.50, and
delightful lounging chairs
priced $3.50, as well as
those priced S97.
That pretty little break
fast-room suit in curly

GERMANS PLANNED COLONIZING RICH
 MEXICAN VALLEY

Mexico City, Monday, Oct. 20 Concrete evidence of German colo nization plans for Mexico was reveal ed here today with the announcement of an enterprise for the irrigation of 100000 hectars of land in the Fuerte river valley, in the State of SinaIoa, where thousands of German emil grants are expected to buy small per cels of land on a 20 year payment plan.
 The corporation is being floated by Jose Meakany, Mexico City capi- talist with the support of General Ramon Iturbe, governor of Sinaloa. It is proposed to construct a dam at Saint Bias, securing from the gov crnment a, concession for the use of enough water from the Fuerte river. The land is declared to be extremely fertile and the plan is being backed by German banks here.
 Until a few months ago the water concession for the Fuerte Valley was held by the United Sugar Company of Los Mochis Sinaloa, headed by Benjamin F. Johnson of Chicago, Ills. The concession of the Sugar company granted 20 years ago, was for the use of 75 per cent of the riv- CTS flow, but it is declared to have been decreased to eight cubic metres per second. Promoters of the pres ent irrigation project declare the old concession was reduced because of the opposition of many land holders along the F'uerte sriver to the com panies controlling 75 per cent of the water while only owning five per cent of land in that region which could be irrigated.

RETURNS SHOW QUEBEC OVER IN
 "DRY" COLUhIN

Toronto, Oct. 21-IncompIete re- turns from yesterdays election in which Sir William Hearst, premier of the province, and the conservative government have been swamped in dicate that Ontario has gone dry by an overwhelming majority.
 Throughout the province especially in the rural districts, the prohibition wave has rolled high. The voting was 9 to 1 in favor of it in some dis tricts.
 The defeat of the Hearst conserva- tive government, according to the Mail and Empire, conservative organ, was due mainly to the big vote poll ed Sg enc United Farmers and La bor candidate, who took 43 and F seats, respectively. The liberals, de- spite their win of five seats in Tor onto, will stand apparently as in the last legislature. The largest single party in the new house will be the farmers. Their alliance with either of the old parties and labor party should command a good working ma jOrity.

 Music.

New York, Oct 21-Decision whether the city government has the right to suppress opera sung in Ger man in New York until after ratifica- tion by the United States of the peace treaty rested today with corporation counsel Burr. following riotous scenes last night when former ser vice men tried uusuccessfulIy to pre- vent the presentation of Die Meis- tersinger" at the Lexington theatre.

 Coincident with the mayors move, the management of the opera an nounced that steps would be taken through the courts, if necessary, to assure the continued presentation or German masterpieces. The mana ge- nent stated that last nights pro- gram was in the nature of con- cert and that the real opening of the German opera season was scheduled for tonight
 Further rioting tonight was anti cipated if the scheduled performance was permitted.

HITCHCOCK WRITES
 ON RATIFICATION

Washington, Oct. 21 - President Wilson is being kept informed as to the threatened strike of bituminous coal miners, the treaty situation in the Senate and the national industrial conference. It was announced today at the White House that improvement in his condition during the last few days had made it possible for him to receive written reports from Secre- tary Tumulty on these and other pressing problems.
 Rear Admiral Grayson, the Presi- dents personal physician, also per mitted the President to have a letter yesterday from Senator Hitchcock of Nebrasks, administration leader in the treaty fight, outlining prospects for ratification of the treaty.
 The Presidents physician announc- ed today that while he did not sleep so well last n! !ght, he showed no signs of fatigue this morning and that the prostatic condition was unchanged.
 The bulletin follows:
 ''W~htte House, Oct. 21. 12:25 a. m.

LlVDZGNA TYON LNCREA SEES AS PENALTIES OF ZONE
 SYSTEM ARE REALIZED
What the Traffic
 Committee Said

Waiter IaShar and other mem bcrs of the Traffic Committee re- ported on March 3. 1919. to the following effect:
 That the car service of the trolley monopoly is entirely in adequate.
 The increase in fare from five to six cents is useless. The nou- opoIy will derive no financial ben eft in Bridgeport from such an increase.
 As a substitute for the in- crease in fare the Commission recommended car service with cars not less than five minutes apart on any line, and three minutes on main lines.
 For this service the ConInfs- sion recommended the instaIIa- ton Of 50 one-nan, safety cars, as used in southern and west ern cities.
 Fhc committee finally recom- mended such steps and measures as would bring the above recom- mendations into effect to give the city adequate street car service for five cent fare.
 If Mayor Wilson. beginning on March 3, had fought diligently for this program, it would not be necessary for him at this time to send feeble protest to the Public Utilities Commission against the zone system, with it's enormous increase in rates for riding on trolley cars.

SENATOR SAYS (JuI0N
 LEADERS ARE TENDING

Asserts Demands of Bit luminous Coal Miners Are IIlordinate-Wa ant Collective Bargaining to Have Regard For Public Welfare.

Washington, Oct. 21-Un- ionsm under it's present lead ership was attacked in me Senate today by Senator Frel- l Iinghuysen, Republican, New Jersey as a new autocracy tending toward Bolshevism." ."
 Criticising the demands of the bitu- minous local miners for a five day week, and increased wages, Sena tor Frelin ghuysen, who is chairman of the Senate committee Investigating the coal strike, called upon American public opinion to scotch a movement which he feared would result in class government.
 The New Jersey senator said the demands of the miners, half of them aliens, were "inordinaie'' and could not be granted as they would result in decreased. production, and an in crease in price to the consumer of from 8 to $2.50 Q ton.
 .Is the United States ready to be dictated to by these men?'' he ask ed.
 "The time has come to put an end to this new autocracy.' said the sen ator Unless this intolerable condi- ton can be rectified; unless some m cans can be found to prevent inn the remedy of making labor amen able to the same extent as capital to the laws of the United States"
 position of such unthinkable de- mands and penalties; unless collec- tive bargaining can be continued in an orderly manner and with due re- gard to the public welfare and com- fort, a, new remedy must be applied
 Referring to the steel strike, the New York Iongshoremen's strike, the Boston police strike, the New York pressmen's strike, and other labor disturbances, Senator FreHnghuysen said:
 Where will this striking frenzy stop? Unless a halt is called we shall reach a state of anarchy infinitely worse than the autocracy of Ger many. This is a class government and not democracy"
 Representative of miners and operators met today with Secretary of Labor Wilson in a final effort to settle wage disputes and thus avert the strike of 500, 900 bituminous coal miners called for November l. John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers of America and Thos. T. Brewster. chairman of the oper- ators' committee, headed the two delegations comprising in all nearly 100 members.
 In opening the conference, Secre- tary Wilson urged that the differ ences be adjusted in some way so as to save te country untold distress from the closing down of the mines in winter with less than a month s supply of coal on hand.
 Lewis and Brewster on their way to the meeting, which was secret, each declared that miners and oper- ators were standing firm.
 There will be no settlemen- unless all our demands. including the five day week are granted" Lewis said. while Brewster announced that the operators would not open peace ne- gotiations unless the strike order was withdrawn.

Locking the Stable Door
 After the Horse is Stolen

Mayor Wilson in his message to tn council said:
 ''The new zone fare system which the Connecticut Company has established. to take effect No yember 2, 1919, has just been an- nounced. l have not had an op- portunity to study the matter closely but from a curSOry poruSal l am of the opinion that it is a gross injustice to the people of Bridgeport in that it will, in many instances, greatly increase the fares which the people are now compelled to pay. I think that the city should make every effort to prevent the putting into operation of th:s unreasonable system.
 ''I believe that inasnuch as the Connecticut Company enjoys very valuable franchise through our principal streets, occupancy of which causes great congestion of our thoroughfares. it should operate its cars for the conven- fence of the public of Bridgeport at reasonable rates which I do not believe the proposed schedule will do.
 ''I therefore recommend that the mayor be authorized to ap- point a committee of five alder men to enter protest at once to the Public Utilities Commission against the proposed increase in fares"

MIL-K TRUST PLANS 4 CENT
 PRICE RAISE

New York, Oct. 21.-The Milk Trusts are considering another raise in milk.
 Already, according to Daniel s. Hor- ton of the Horton Company they have agreed that they will have to pay a half cent more to the farmer.
 He also stated that 4 cents may be added to a quart of milk by the 1st of November, pending calculations now being made on labor delivery costs.
 This state of affairs was presented to the Fair Price Milk Committee at it's hearing in City Hall yesterday af- ternoon. Just how this wide margin between half a cent more to be paid to the farmer and a 4-cent increase to the consumer is being determi ned, was not explained.
 The milk people are still figuring, Mir Horton explained.
 Also that the milk companies in this city want to effect combination was evidenced by the testimony present

Believe Crisis Reached In Longshoremen's
 Struggle

New York, Oct 21-A crisis in the strike of 10000 New York long shoremen was reached today. The International Mercantile Marine, which has 40 ships tied up in the port, put strike breakers at work moving cargoes, and 500 United States troops began work in dunga- rees at army piers, where transports to and from Europe have been held up.
 Army officials made it plain that troops brought here from Newport News would be used solely as work men at army piers and would not ap- pear at private or shipping board docks. Heavy police guards, however, were on duty at other piers.
 The strikers, who yesterday walked out of conference of conciIators at City Hall because they object to Paul 4. VaccarelIi as one of the concilia- tors, were invited to attend a mass meeting at Tammany Hall late to- day by Mayor Hylan a member of the consolidation committee appointed by Secretary of Labor Wilson. Many members of the strike committee as serted they would not attend the meeting.
 Mayor Hylan viewed the situation enthusiastically. declaring that 5000 Iongshoremen employed on the Chel- sea piers would return to work dur ing the day. He also said oilers, scalers and other shiDyard workers had promised to go back to work, pending a settlement of their griev- anceS

OUTLINES HIS VIEWS
 ON SITUATION IN 4 LONG COMMUNICATION
Takes Hand in Order to Avert a Break -Secre- tary Lane to Use Let ter At His Discretion Signs Copy With Pen cii.

Washington, Oct. 21-Pres- ident Wilson, despite his ill., ness, took personal hand in the national industrial confer ence in an effort to avert a break which is threatened as a result of the inability of the capital and labor groups to reach a satisfactory agreement on the collective bargaining is sue.
 In 6o0-word letter to Secretary Lane, chairman of the conference, dictated from his sick bed, the Presi- dent outlined his views as to the con- ference situation. The letter was inn mediateIy dispatched to Mir. Lane, who, it was explained, was to use it al his discretion.
 The conference was not in session when MT. Lane received the com munication, having met at 1O:15 a. m. and adjourned at the request of the labor group after two resolu- tions had been presented. It was said the letter might not be presented to the conference immediately, but held in reserve to be used only when danger of the conference breaking up became acute.
 The serious situation in the con- ference was reported to the Presi- dent early today after a conference between Chairman Lane, Secretary Wilson. of the Labor Department; Bernard M. Baruch. chairman of the public group; Thomas L. Chad bourne, chairman of the committee of fifteen and Secretary Tumulty The President immediately dictated the letter to a stenographer and sign ed the completed copy with a lead pencil.
 The Presidents signature was writ ten on the bias across the sheet and apparently his hand was somewhat shaky when he signed it. MT. Tu- rnulty immediately left for the Pan American building where the confer ence sits, to present the letter to MT. Lane.
 Before the brief session today, Chairman Lane said the conference
 ould not be permitted to end it's work and that the leaders of the three groups-capital. labor and the public-had decided to frame a new and comparative program involving all industrial issues of a general na- ture. It was understood that refer ence to the specific issue that has caused the present situation would be avoided.
 While there was no talk about bolt ing the conference several members of the group plainly were impatient. Delegates in the public group, how ever, were confident that the labor representatives would not leave the conference, but would seek to press the advantage gained through having succeeded in bringing the public rep resentatlves into line with them on every important issue thus far intro duced.
 It developed today that the employ CTS are far from agreement among them mselves on a declaration regard ing. collective bargaining despite their efforts to reach a common under standing at conferences yesterday and last night. Some members of the group were said to favor standing by the substitute already introduced but others argued that a new proposal be submitted.

 SEVERAL HURT
 IN TRAIN CRASH

New York, Oct. 21-Four persons were killed and several injured when a northbourd Third Avenue elevated train crashed into the rear of a sec ond train stalled between 175th and 176th streets early today. Slippery rails, due to the light morning rain, are said to have made the emergency brakes of little avail in bringing the moving train to a sudden stop.
 The rear car of the forward train was telescoped three quarters of its length Fire apparatus was sum moned to the scene to clear away wreckage. Six ambulances cared for the injured.
 Irving Boyd, motornan of the rear train, was placed under arrest as soon as he reached the hospital where he was taken suffering from internal injuries.
