JITNEY MEN ID
 START CAMPAIGN
 AGAINST TROLLEY
Many Applications Made For Transfers to Buses
 From Touring Cars.

With insurance companies now willing and anxious to furnish bonds, local jitney men have apparently de- cided to open real campaign against the trolleys in this city. Fifteen ap- plications for transfers from touring cars to buses have been received at the Motor Vehicle department office within the past week, and many in- quiries have been received from pee pie who intend to enter the jitneY business after the first of January.
 For some time after the passage Of the law which required jitney owners tof urnish bonds for their car, insur- ance companies were not over-anx- ious to supply the necessary funds. Lately, however, the bonding con cerns have adopted a new policy, and local jitneurs report that they have little trouble in securing bonds. The installation of the zone fare system on the trolley lines in this section is probably the underlying cause for the increased activity on the part Of the jitneys.
 So far there have been only eight jitney licenses taken out since July l, when the bonding law went into ef- feet. but 1t is predicted that there will be a great rush for licenses after January | The increase in jitneys of larger seating capacity, however is taken as an indication that the J1t' nev men are figuring on carrying larger crowds from now on.

TROLLEY DELAYS
 CAUSE PUBLIC ID COMPLAIN LOUDLY
Claim Conductors Cannot Figure Out Amounts Due
 Quickly Enough

The slowness of the trolleys is the principal complaint heard today of the Connecticut company zone sys- tenn. While many object to the rates and have taken to riding on the jit- neys those who still use the trolley and enjoy the six cent fare claim that it now takes double the time to travel the same distance which they used to under the old system.
 They point out that this is the fault of the conductors who are not able to quickly tabulate the fares from the zone checks given out by the motor men and when crowd is waiting to leave the cars there is consfd derable delay and confusion in settling the fare rate.
 Traffic policemen in the city say that at times the delay in crowds leaving the cars, especially at the crowded hours of the day, causes lon g lines of traffic to be blocked for some time.

ND PACT COMPROMISE UNLESS RATIFICATION
 COMES 10 DEADLOCK
Wilson In First Confer ence Granted Since His Illness Expresses Strong Approval of What Has Been Done in the Senate.

Washington, Nov. 7-Presi- dent Wilson today told Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, admin istration leader in the Senate treaty fight, that he would be entirely satisfied with any re- servatlons which supporters of the treaty might feel justified in accepting, provided they did not nuilify the League of Ma tons Covenant and were de- signed for the purpose of inter- pretIng the terms of the treaty
 The President. Senator Hitchcock said, expressed "his very strong ap- proVaP' of what had been done to date and agreed that no compromise would be offered unless a deadlock was reached on a resolution of rati- ication.
 Senator Hitchcock outlined his pro- gram as first an endeayor to defeat the reservations reported by the for eign relations committee, and if that Tailed, to vote down the resolution of ratification containing them. His next move would be to present a reso- lution of ratification and should a deadlock ensue, to attempt a compro- mise with Republican opponents.
 Senator Hitchcock said if resoIu- tion of ratification containing the committee reservations were adopted that would settle the fight so far as the Senate was concerned but that the President could pigeon hole the treaty. He declined to speculate as to the probable course of the Presi- dent should the committee resolution prevail

 ROADS
If Not Given Great Capital Industries of Country
 Will Suffer.
M JUST PURCHASE
 NEW EQUIPMENT

Chicago. Nov At least six biI- hon dollars of new capital must be invested in railroad facilities within the next three years if the roads are to become able satisfactorily to han dle the country's commerce, Samuel Q. Dunn, editor of the Railway Age, estimated in an address today.
 The increase in investment sine, 1915, MT. Dunn said, has been less than $1,9O0,0O0, 900, while if the per centage had been as large in propor- ton to the growth of traffic as it was during the preceding ten year period, it should have been s5,OOO.- O0O,0O0. Since 1915 freight traffic in creased 57 per cent and passenger traffic 36 per cent. he said, adding that the percentage increase in each variety of equipment during that time was per cent, and none.
 The railways during the next three years should buy at least 500. GOO freight cars, 26, 600 locomotives s-ssi--iSJ J 10000 passenger cars, he said, to n2ak3 up the existing deficiency of edufD- ment to replace that which should be retired and to provide for handling additional business
 'ThaC number of locomotives and cars at present prices would cost ap- proXinateIy $3,500 100000. to say noth- ing Of what must he spent for new. tracks, second and third tracks, yards. sidings, shops and so on,' continued MT. Dunn.
 The welfare of the country de- mands speedy action and also wise ac- tion, for if any action taken does not put the railway companies in a posi- Hon to begin at once raising vast amounts of new capital, the develop ment of the industries of the country probably will he stopped"

WORDEN HEARING
 THIS AFTERNOON

Having no connection with the case except as a possible witness, Ralph Greenleaf, champion billiard player, who was arrested In this city last night by State Policeman Frank Ve- reIi, for cOmp1icity in the Btnkowitz murder mystery, was released this morning by Coroner Eli Mix, of New Haven, after a short hearing.
 George Worden. of New York city, Greenleaf's manager, was also ar rested here last night. but will prob ably be released after q hearing in New Haven this afternoon.
 The arrest of both men was made in a local billiard parIor about II o'clock last night, and occurred be- fore large crowd of spectators who had just witnessed a contest between GreenIeaf and a Bridgeport billiard ist. The two men were lodged in the local police station over night and were taken to New Haven at g o'clock this morning by Sergeant Frank NereIIi, of the state police.
 Bridgeport police deny that they have any information on this latest move in the murder mystery, but 1t Is thought that Greenieaf and Gordon were suspected of knowing something about the $17SO00 worth of Liberty bonds which disappeared from New York city with Binkowitz on August 12th.
 The mystery which has surrounded the identity Of "One-Eyed Billy Smith. who was arrested in Chicago sone time ago in connection with the murder was cleare1 up today when it was learned that Smith is none other than William BurweIl, of Shelton. BurweT is also known as Billy Ba- ker, and is said to be the manager of Frank TabeTski, worlds champion pocket bilIiardist. Burweu was ar rested some time ago in Bridgeport for shop-lifting.

Political gossip in ths city this morning had 1t that there was noth- ing to it but Lieutenant George Ben- >sdettt to take the place of Captain George B. Cole5, deceased. City hall today was asog with the possibilities of political appointments if the police department. It is understood on good authority though that the appoint ynents will not be made until a De- cember meeting Of the board.
 Just who will succeed Lieutenant Bsnedetd as lieutenant is being wide ly speeu1a ted on and it is thought that Sergean Kehoe or possibly Ser geant Wheeler of the detective bureau will be the lucky man, Such a course though would necessitate changes in the personnel of the detective bureau.
 It Is believed that Lieutenant Hall ssul go back to the esassrs job and

 It is understood that due to a diff ference between the commissioners and the administration that the ap- pointments to the department and promotions will go over to a Decem- Der meeting instead of being taken care of at the meeting next week.

 Chicago, Nov. 7-CurtaiI- ment of passenger train ser vice, discontinuance of bunk ering of foreign owned vessels at American ports, restrictions in some places of the use of public utilities, and appeals for coal from various cities as the strike of approximately 425,- 600 bituIninOus coal miners to- day rounded out it's first week, gave the nation further indica- lions of the distress in store should there be a protracted suspension of mining opera tionS.
 Other disarrangements of the country's routine were expected to- day, with little change in the general conditions surrounding the strike itself.
 Government agencies still remain- ed hopeful that developments tomor- row at Indiana polls, when the motion filed by attorneys for the United Mine Workers of America asking dissoIu- ton of the restraining order issued last week by Judge Anderson will be argued. might point the way to an early ending of the strike.
