DRY DAYS NOT
 TO HELP COURT
Prosecutor of Criminal Com. mon Pleas Court Cases
 Won't Decrease.

Although opponents of prohibition in various parts of the country have declared that the coming of the na- tionwIde dry spell will result in a big decrease in business for criminal courts, Prosecutor w. Huxford of the Criminal Court of Common Pleas, does not believe such a change will be brought about
 T don't think national prohibition will have much effect on our court. one way or another" said Prosecutor HuNfUrd yesterday. "On looking over our docket l find that tntoxication and breach of the peace cases are vastly in the minority. Most of the cases which came to our attention arc those in which the use of liquor does not figure.
 Prohibition may effect the police courts where there are always a number of prisoners charged with drunkenness. This is especially true on Monday mornings. The Com mon Pleas Court, criminal side, is an appeal court and few iutoxIcation cases come to us by appeal.''
 It has generally been found that in breach of the peace cases one or more persons fmplfcted was tntoxicat- ed. In numerous cases where assault is the charge, the use of liquor has figured, too. But such cases are seldom appealed to the Common Pleas court.

SOLDIERS START
 "PEACE'' WORK
Private Zimmerman Mem Der of Battery Y That Won
 French War Cross.

Two of Uncle Sans hOnorabIy dis charged soldiers started peace" work at the Locomobile company this morn ing Each man had a wealth of eN- periences to relate and each expert erlce was filled with true red bIooded Americanism.
 Private John Zimmerman of Bat tery F, 42d Heavy Artillery, was at LnS front for six months and, a.morly the most important enga agement of the war, saw service at the second battle of the Marne. His entire battery was awarded the CrOix de Guerre by the French for unusual bravery and abil- Ity. About the pleasantest sight Pri- vate encountered on the other side. happened just before the battle of the Marne. His battery hadn't been do- ing very much things were rather quiet and so far as they were con Cerned they hardly knew a war was on. One day a German supply train was spotted, quite 8. few kilometers away and for the sake of keeping the 1)ig guns from getting rusty, several shells were sent in the wake of the train and ''Heiney's" food and supplies Were all over No Mans Land. Heiney' s food trains were scarce and to get one of them was a big thing
 The other returning Loco man, Salvatore Scactoto, Pvt. 1 C1. was stationed at Camp Joseph Johnson, near Jacksonville, Fla. in the Motor Transport Division. His job was to make drivers out of green material and get them over on the other side as quickly as possible. At first the men were given a cheap truck to learn on. If they developed with any show of intelligence they were taken off and placed on a big truck Prvt. Scactoto hilnseIf-with a Riker truck, averaging sixteen hours per day. fitted for the Motor Transport Service Overseas, more than 150.00O drivers. One high priced make of truck was continuously giving trouble and it was necessary to have two machines on the work to cover the emergency caused by one truck which never failed to break down. Prvt. ScactOto recommended the Riker to his commanding officer who imme- diately pulled the Washington wires and succeeded in getting one Riker. For over three months this one truck did the work of two original trucks, and according to ScactOto would still be doing it if the armfstice wasn't signed.

SAYS SWEENEY
 FIRED 1ST SHOT
John Eolzbar Second Wit ness to Place Blame on
 Accused.

The second witness to declare Mi chael Sweeney fired the first shot in the pistol duel which resulted in the death of Thomas E. Pendagast last TueSday. was John Holzba~ of Fair field, who testified before Coroner Phelan yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Su- sic DeIringan had previously stated that she saw Sweeney fire first. The accused still clings to his story that PendaEast opened fore on him and that he shot only in self-defeuse.
 HOlzbarS statement to the coroner was, "The man wearing the uniform known to have worn a, uniform and therefore Hoizbar's declaration is inn portant. HOlszbar said he was riding by the Harvey HUbbeH, Inc, plant, where the participants in the shooting were employed as watchmen.
 He saw two men gTaDpIng in the yard as if they were foollng Sud denly they separated and the uni formed man whipped a pistol from his pocket and opened fire. Peudagast started to shoot then and Eolzbar says he thinks rhe deceased fired two or three shots before he sank to the ground.
 Coroner PheTan visited Sweeney at St. Vincent's hospital yesterday, but the accused stuck to his story. He said Pendagast's first shot struck him in the left hand. Then he shot to protect himself. The coroner has not yet made a finding.

Pomerene Warns Against
 Bolsheviki as Common Foe

Continued From Page One.) Even President Wilson's bftterest en, enies, while they have charged him with all kinds of high crimes and mis- demeanors, do not even presume to charge him with being responsible for it's language"
 Senator Pomerene would prefer to have amended section seven, which gives Great Britain and her doninions five votes in the body of delegates, but added that an examination of the doc ument showed safeguards which re- neved this feature of it's principal ob- jections
 For one, I am willing to try the experiment. the senator concluded ''I submit that whatever may be the efforts for peace in this behalf cannot be worse in their consequences than was the war.
 The danger Is not yet over. So long as the Allied troops are in the field there may be no danger from the German armies. But there is an enemy looming up in the Far East which threatens to be even as de- structive to the civilization of the world as the German forces-that is the spirit of Iawlessness which pre- vails among the Bolsheviki and in Germany and Austria, ever the com mon foe of our civiliza ton, the com mon foe of all government and it be- hooves the United States and her Allies to take common counsel for the defense of humanity.
 '4Ths fourteen nations that drafted the constitution were comrades in time of war; I am sure they can be and will be com mpanions in time of peace, Surely we ought not to refuse to join them in time of peace to pre- serve when we joined them in time of war to establish peace"

c. OF c. HELPS
 U. s. BUREAU

The Bridgeport Chamber of Com merce has decided to help out the United States Employment Bureau to the extent of paying the salary of one man who is to devote his enegries to obtaining employment for returning soldiers and sailors.
 On account of the lack of an ap- propriation by the last session of Con gross, all of the 27 U. s. Employment offices in this state, except those in Bridgeport and New Haven, have been closed.
 These two offices would have to close in a short time unless they re- ceived assistance.
 The Chamber of Commerce hopes that other local support will be forth coming so that the Bridgeport office at least can continue to find work for the unemployed.
