CANNOT LOCATE CAR THAT HELD
 MURDER VICTIM

The Packard automobile which is being sought by the police of Bridge port and other cities as one of the most valuable clues in connection with the murder of the Italian whose body was found in the bushes near the Post road in Milford. last Wednesday morning, has not yet been located. A vigorous search is being made for the death car'' In every city and town in this vicinity, and unless the machine has been taken to some distant place 1t is hoped that its whereabouts will soon be discovered.
 Aside from the automobile clue, which was given to the police by two men who claim to have seen the car near the spot where the body was found, the police seem to be no nearer a solution of the mystery than they were last Wednesday when the body was discovered. The police are still on the trail. however. and new devel- opments are expected at any time.
 One report has it that the sign of a cross was slashed across the dead mans face. this giving rise to the be- lief that the victim may have met his fate at the hands of members of certain gang of killers. The police are inclined to doubt this story. however, inasmuch as the mans face was sS badly mutilated that it is practically impossible to distinguish any definite mark on the countenance.
 Photographs of the dead man have been taken, and these will be sent out broadcast in hope that someone may recognize the victim.

5O.OOO Pounds Of Govt
 Sugar To Be Put On Sale
F1REHOUSES PLACE FOR RDISTRIBUTION-DATE
 NOT YET DECIDED UPON.

Bridgeprt will have 5O,OOO pounds of government sugar which will be put on sale in the fire houses of the city this week. All details of the sale have been arranged, but will be released in accordance with Mayor Wilson's publicity plan, for which reason it was not possible today to learn how the matter would be handled.
 The mayor admitted that the sale would follow the general lines of the second ham sale held a week ago to- day. This in contrast with the first city attempt to sell ham, was reason ably satisfactory.
 The price of the sugar is unknown, but inasmuch as the supply -- offer ed by the government, which has fix ed a fair price of II cents a pound, it is not expected to be above that.
 Other articles of food will not go on sale until the sugar has been dis posed of, the mayor said today.

Connecticut Company
 Has Plan For Tracks
REFUSED PERMISSION FOR DOUBLE TRACK
 CROSSOVER IN PLAZA SITE.

Having been refused permission to lay a double track crossover at Main and State streets the Connecticut CO. engineering department has prepar- ed a plan for a single track which will be presented at the hearing be- fore the common council on Sept. 4 The crossover will connect the pres ent State street tracks with the tracks to be laid on lower State street in the Plaza area.

Permission has already been given the Connecticut Co. to lay tracks from Water street anG Fair field avenue to Main and State streets but no permission has yet been granted to cross Main street.

 ALL DISPUTED POINTS,

The American GraphOphone Company wifi remain in Bridgeport and COCO employees who have been on strike will return 10 work Tuesday.

The company requires tilat the terms be accepted by both wings Of the labor faction in Bridgeport, and final ratifica- ton is not possible until Mon day.
 The settlement terms were given by the strikers in a letter to the Chamber of Commerce this after noon, when that method of commu- nication with the factory officials had to be adopted because the latter refuse to recognize a strike. These terms include:
 The return of all former employees to work on Tuesday morning
 The immediate election of shop committees to consider matters of wage adjustment
 That wages adjustments, whenever made. shall be retroactive in effect from the date work is resumed.
 This communication was handed 10 officials of the Graphophone O., who notified the Chamber of Commerce. that il would not accept all workers back, announcing that fifty former employees would not be allowed in the factory again.
 At the meeting this afternoon. A striker talking from the floor on the proposal, objected to the discrimi- nation against the 50 employees re- ferred to but not yet named by the Graphophone officials. "We won't go back unless they all do. and if they don't want us all, let them take the factory out of town" was his statement and this met with tre- mendous applause.
 The opinion in spite of this was that the strike would end by the vote of the meeting.
