GRIEVANCES OF
 Ex-SERvICE MEN
 ARE CONSIDERED
Wickersham Says There Is Too Much Red Tape
 Used.

Washington. Dec. 16 - Grievances of former service men against the governments vocational training methods were laid before the Ameri- can Legion conference here today by Cornelius W. Wickersham of New ' orl,, who demanded that "defnite and concrete action be taken to re- lieVe the situation"
 Fewer than 25.000 of 180,00O par italy disabled ex-servtce men have been able to derive benefits under the present vocational training laws. MT. Wickersham said.
 He submitted statements of men now in training that they were re ceivtng their maintenance fees tr- regularly and in some cases none at al as one of the reasons the men entitled to the training could not take advantage of it.
 Prom the information I have, MT. Wickersham said, Tit appears that the whole thing is badly manag- ed Men who desire to take the training are misplaced in so many instances tha. others are discouraged. Red tape is twined all about the or ganizadon. There is general dissat- isfaction among the men because the maintenance pay is so small they cannot live.

KILLS HOPE OF FIVE GENT FARE
 IN HIS REPORT
CContinued from Page One)

In the first part of his report the city attorney dealt with the in- debtedness of the company to the city and stated it owed $7O,OQ0 for the Stratford avenue bridge on which it had paid $25, 900, leaving 8. balance of $45, 900 due.
 In the second part of the report he sets forth his belief that the case has no merit on which it might apply to the United States court and says that the only one allowed to act is the Public Utilities Commission who is even now conducting hearings on the zone system. He says this body is the only one that can set a tariff and he does not believe. and sees no reason why the trustees of the Connecticut company should agree to separate lines in Bridgeport.
 He points out that the Public Util- ities Commission has always been Ioath to make any separate fare rates for any section of the state when the rates are intended to be uniform.
 In no uncertain terms he then takes the company stand and the words are so old that it leads one to believe that they are put in his mouth by the company itself. that the only solution of the trolley problem is a complete understanding between the company and the people and their mutual cooperation and thus have a, fair rate of fares established. l. This report was accepted by the aI- Qermen.

EVASION OF SAFEGUARDS
 IS CHARGED

garding the maximum requirement that all cars so equipped must be con nected and the brakes in operation. Hand brakes also were alleged still to be in use on some railroads for controlling trains on mountain grades. although the law specifies that trains must be controlled by power brakes.
 On some roads employing the man ual block signal systems, it was said dangerous practices are followed and rules violated to such an extent as to render the block signal systems en- tire1y useless.
 Long trains which are exempted from safety appliance regulations are Georgia and Florida without any brakes except on engines and ca booses, which MT. Borland said was fully as dangerous, because of the ne. cessity of passing other trains, a5 running passenger trains without such safeguards,
 ''The investigation of accidents by this bureau has disclosed several cases of employees who, although they had had sufficient time off duty to conform to the requirements of the hours of service law, had not had suf- fcient rest, or rest of such character, to place them in proper physical condition to perform service required by them"

WHAT AUTHORITY
 HAD MAYOR TO USE CITY CASH
(Continued from Page One)

Clifford B. Wilson, on his own or der, signed by himself and receipted for by himself, drew 1925 as expenses to the mayors 'convention in Savan- nah, Ga, on December 8-10. This or der was dated before the firsA of De- cember. The mayor, by his own state ment, was planning a two weeks va cation in the South. An examination produce any item which would author ton at the expense of the city and yet he drew this amount for expenses be- fore the convention convened so of course it could not be itemized for the voters.

These orders were signed by City Clerk Robinson and would indicate that both these girls were city employees.
 In relation to the Bridgeport Sand 6, Gravel Co. it was found that sand had been purchased from them for use on the work of street construc- ton in the West End, principally, and the orders for the payment of bills was signed by Director of Public Works, Jacob Courtade.
 It is a well known fact that Alder man Thomas Connor, Republican, is a member of the concern by his own admission.

SECRET SERVICE
 HOT ON TRAIL OF STAMP SCALPERS
Nation Wide Crusade Against Un- lawful Handling of Savings Stamps Results in
 Many Arrests.

Transactions in War Savings and Thrift Stamps, which since the arTni- stice have afforded lucrative field for thousands of scalpers, have materially lessened since the institution of whole sale raids throughout the United States. Department of Justice and Se- cret Service agents have investigated scores of dealers in these securities, and as a result a great number of ar rests were effected.
 Representatives of the Treasury De partment for some time have conduct ed quiet inquiry into the operations of these illegal brokers and repeatedly warned them against the continuance of the practice. Failure to observe the quiet tip" they were given led to the inauguration of sterner measures.
 It was the practice of scalpers to buy up at prices ranging from a few cents to a few dollars below their value filled and partially filled books of War Savings and Thrift Stamps for redemption at the full value. In some cases persons who purchased the stamps originally foolishly sought out these brokers in order to dispose of their stamps quickly Instead of re deeming them at the post office. as provided by Treasury Department reg ulations
 Taking advantage Of this situation, the scalpers represented themselves in some instances as Government agents and prevailed upon guIlible and needy victims to part with their holdings at prices greatly below the market value. The scalpers then, of course, redeemed the stamps at the post office at full price.
 In raids conducted by the Secret Service agents upon brokers offices from New York to Chicago large Quan- titles of stamps were discovered and confscated- It Is expressly stipulated by Federal ruling that stamps are not transferable and may be redeemed only by the original purchaser at post office after ten days notice. In practically every case where arrests have been made the prisoners have been held by United States Commis- sioners in heavy bail, generally amount ing to 2,500
 If the prosecutions just begun with the idea of breaking up what is be- lieved to be nation wide league of stamp scalpers does not have a salu- tary effect the raids, 1t Is announced, will be continued. Investors in War Savings and Thrift Stamps are urged If possible to hold on to their securi- ties, but if necessity compels them to redeem them they are advised to make the transaction through the post office.

INVESTIGATING
 LEAK" STORIES
 ON DECISIONS
Attaches of Supreme Court Are Implicated In
 Charges

Washington, Dec. 16-Departmen Of Justice officials continued today in- vestigation of reports of alleged leaks on Supreme Court decisions which were being used as tips for stock specula ton. A minor official of the department and an attache of the Supreme Court were implicated in the charges but Captain Burke. chief of the Bureau of Investigation of the Justice Department, declared that so far no basis for the charges had been discovered.
 In a verbal statement last night Captain Burke said that a MT. B. E. Moses, with offices in the Munsey building, Washington, had been re- ported by Marlin Pew, manager of the International News Service for an alleged attempt to secure financial backing from the friend of Pew to play the stock market on advance in formation of Supreme Court decis- ions
 Moses told Pew's friend" Captain Burke said, that he had been doing this for some time, but he did not have sufficient funds to make the profit he might if he had financial backing. The friend of Pew insisted that before he could get the finances which Moses desired he would have to be convinced that advance. informa- ton on the supreme court decision was absolutely obtainable. He told him that on November 16, the man who furnished him (Moses) was en- ployed in the department of justice in Washington; furthermore, that this man was with Moses in New York on Sunday, November 16. and that on Monday morning they went down town and played Southern Pacific short, closing out when Southern Pa cific dropped three points. They made some money but they did not say how much. Later Southern Pacific was be- ing played the other way, so obvious ly they had correct information on the courts decision in the Southern Pacific oil land cases.'
 Moses was interrogated by William Flynn, Director of the Bureau of In- vestigatio of the Department of Jus tice Captain Burke, said, and denied that he was getting his information from a minor official of the Depart ment of Justice as was claimed, or that the latter was getting it in turn from an attache of the Supreme court. Moses, according to Burke, said he had made his deductions on the future movements of the stock as any lawyer might have done from the general information on the Southern Pacific case. He denied also there was a leak in the Supreme court. Captain Burke said the official in question holds a minor position in the Department of Justice, and that he denies he knew any one in the su- preme court who would give out any such information or that he had been in any such deals as were charged. "The attache of the supreme court denies also that he had any connection with the affair and there | Is nothing to show that he did," Cap l tain Burke added.
 However, he said, the investigation will be continued.
