12 MORE OF SAFETY CARS
 IN 2 WEEKS
Are Already In City-Being Painted at the
 Barns

Within less than two weeks Bridgeport will have twelve more cars of the new safety type recently adopted by the Connecticut Go. op- eraung on the North and South Main street lines.
 These cars are already in Bridge port at the barns of the Connecticut Co. and are being painted and put in good repair for the use on local lines.
 A few months ago the company brought a number of these cars to Bridgeport and put them on the Oak street line Owing to their speed and quick work in traffic they have made a hit with the company off cias and it seems to be the plan to gradually increase this service until the old jumbo cars are done away with.
 There is an order for 2S more of these little cars placed and they should be here by the first of the year It is believed that these will be used on the Ash Creek and Strat- ford avenue runs.

.BLAMES EXCESS MINING OF GOAL
 FOR SITUATION
Editor Says Even Distribu- tion of Operation and Buy
 ing Would Solve Problem.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 29.---It was asserted here last night that radical change in the coal mining industry, system of collective bargaining, is ex- trenely likely if the Administration stands on it's decision.
 Ellis SearIes, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal, in discussing g the economic side of mining yester- day, said the public was paying high prices for coal, not through miners wages but because of the difference
 between production cost in low-cost and high-cost mines. There are more
 with a probable breaking up Of its operated under normal conditions" he said. Hundreds of new opera tions were opened during the war to take advantage of prices.'
 It might cost $1 a ton to produce coal in some mines and s1.50 or more in others. Under present conditions the high-cost mine could go and this made for excess operations. The remedy for the uneconomic sit uation was the distributing of mine operation and of purchasing by the public over the entire year. Fewer mines than have ever operated could produce the coal needed for normal times if steady work were given to miners and the buying of coal were more evenly distributed throughout the year.
 Reports reaching here last night l from the heart of the bituminous fields were that the miners were more 1 determined than ever not to return to work.

6S Radicals Give Up
 Strike
Hunger Protest of Ellis Island Soviet Was
 Broken Today.
TWO WOMEN IN
 IRRECONCTLABLES

New York, Nov 29-The hunger strike of the Ellis Island Soviet was broken today. All but five of the 6S radicals who had refused to eat since last Monday evening, eagerly answer ed the call to the dining room for breakfast
 After a five day fast they were ravenous and were first in the immi- grants dining hall. They devoured prunes, mush, bread, sub-butter ana coffee and asked for more. Second helping were refused them, however not only because one was considere adequate, but because the radicals might have made themselves i'll by eating too much.
 The irreconciliables who continued the hunger strike in an effort to have removed an iron barrier separatins them from visitors included Ethel Bernstein and Dora Lipkin, who were arrested in a raid on New York Russian headquarters. They were the only women on hunger strike.
 The silence strike of the 6S alsc has collapsed. Word that the de partment of justice was providing the island with eight husky guards tC force them to attend deportation hearings before immigration inspec- tors, was brought to the radicals by their counsel. The guards had moi arrived today, but the inspectors found no difficulty in getting radicals to go from the detention room to the hearing room once they had been identified.

Hartford. Conn, Nov. 29.---The Con- necticut Fair Price Committee has re- ceived complaints from the public that retail grocers in this city and

The committee investigated and said it found that certain wholesalers and jobbers had charged the retailers more than the fixed price of 96O to 9.75. United States District Attorney Joseph N.

Gave Blood To Woman
 He Shot
Most Peculiar Case in Annals of Crime In
 Capital City. OPERATION MAY
 NOT SAVE LIFE

Washington, Nov. 2s-Mrs. Flor ence Robinson, comedy young matron. lying near death in a hospital, and Grover Gordon, little more than 8 youth, who yesterday shot the wom- an and 12 hours later kept her alive by giving his blood for tranSfusion to her veins, today were the princi- pals in one of the most remarkable crime incidents in Washington police history.
 Following a jealous quarrel recent ly, Gordon yesterday went to the home of the young woman, who some time ago had separated from her husband, to bid her final goodbye, as old home in Wheeling, West Virginia. As she stood in his embrace Gordon fired a revolver bullet through her body.
 After his arrest last night Gordon was told that Mrs. Robinson would die unless some one speedily volun- teered to submit to blood transfusion. He eagerly offered himself, and re- quested only that, if the ptient still were conscious, she be told of his action.
 Physicians today were uncertain as to whether the operate would save Mrs. Robinson's life. In the mean time, the police were wondering what the effect would be if the woman whom Gordon had tried to kill should be saved from death through his own sacrifice of blood.

FRANCE WILL
 GET TEN OF
 GERMAN SUBS
During War She Was Un- able to Build As Did
 Other Allies

Paris, Nov. 29-France is to get 10 of the German submarines, the Su- preme Council decided today in con tinuing its consideration of the allot- ment of German naval tonnage among the Allies. France is allowed this number of submarines, it is explained because during the war she was un- able to build to the txtent of others of the Allies, her plants being devot- ed to the making of munitions for the use of all.
 The present understanding is that the remainder of the submarines will be broken up. Dispatches from Paris yesterday said the Supreme Council also had decided that France would get at least five light cruisers and ten torpedo boats for reasons identical with those given in the allotment of the submarines. Italy, it was stated was likewise to get a similar allotment of the smaller warships

20 OUT OF 67 CLUBS SEEKING
 FOR LICENSES
300 Out of 329 Who Had Ii censes Last Year Wish
 to Renew

Renewals of liquor licenses will be issued on Monday to local dealers and when the county commissioners closed their offices today they announced that 300 of the 329 persons who held licenses during the 4ast license year have applied for renewals In former years it was considered quite a. dis tinction to get the first license and many dealers arrived at the commis- siOners' offices early in the morning and waited hours in order to be at the head of the line. It is not believed there will be such a. rush this year.
 Only 20 of the 67 local clubs which held licenses last year have applied for renewals. As the Brooklawn Country club is located in Fairfield it secured a, renewal before the Bridge port organizations. Most of the prom tnent organizations, including the Al gonquin, Bridgeport, and Elks' clubs, have filed applications but at noon today the Seaside club had not ap- piled.

MEXICO CITY DENIES REPORT 0F FIGHTING

Washington. Nov. 29-AlthougE denial from Mexico City Of the re- ported fighting there between follow CTS of President Carranza and Gen. eral Alvaro Obregon, presidential. candidae, served to ease the tense ness of the relations between Mexico and the United States, the state de- partment today had not altered it's determination to force the demand for the prompt release of American consular agent William O. Jenkins imprisoned on the charge of conniv- ing with his bandit captors.
 Mexico probably will be called upon for a final showdown if the killing and molestation of American citizens continue and the American consular agent remains confined in prison on what American officials believe are trumped up charges. The state de- partment has indicated plainly that argumentative diplomacy will not di- vert the government from its course of dealing with a serious intercation- al question.

 MT. Leinard told a. Times represent ative this morning that he intended to see City Attorney William Fl. Com ley the first of next week and he would place the matter in his hands If tle Connecticut is inclined to make 9 settlement which will replace the wrecked truck and pay the damages and doctors bills of the injured driver ~hey will accept If he says that suit will be instituted at once and rushed through the courts.
 As matters stand today Mir Leon ard says that the Norman street sta ton is without a hook and ladder truck and this is dangerous and can not continue.
