Danbury 6 Bethel Had
 Early and Large Deficit

Col. J. Moss Ives, of Danbury, re- ceiver of the Danbury and Bethel St. Railway company told the Public Utilities commission yesterday that the Danbury and Bethel Street Rail- fore it was saddled with the Bridge port and Danbury Street Railway Co.,, in which it is said that John T. King of Bridgeport, made more than s2O,- 900.
 Col. Ives, as receiver of the Dan bury &- Bethel Street Railway Co.,. has brought suit against John T. King for $200,0O0 to compel payment for stock in the Bridgeport & Danbury Street Railway Company which MT. King subscribed for, but which was never issued or paid for.
 At the hearing yesterday Col. Ives said, The legislature may be partly to blame for not requiring capital to be paid in when the Bridgeport and Danbury was loaded onto the poor little Danbury & Bethel. The Dan bury & Bethel would still have gone into the hands of a receiver. This company hasn't earned the interest on the purchase of it's bonds outside the interest Cn the bonds for the pur- chase of the Bridgeport & Danbury.
 The Danbury & Bethel faced a de- fictt from July 1, 1914 to October 31. 1917 of SS9.7S7.23. Added to this were paving and bridge assessments amounting to s36,464.49, making a total deficit of $126,251.72.

PATRICK DEWITT
 BADLY INJURED

Patrick Dewitt of 555 Gregory street, a city employe, is in St Yin cents hospital in a serious condition as the result of injuries received from blows on the head by a high wayman. Early last night Davftt was found in Water street by a watchman of the Crane Company. He had been lying on the street for fully an hour before he was discovered in his un- conscience and injured condition
 After arriving at the hospital Davitt regained consciousness and stated that he was on his way home when struck from behind He de- clared that he had only 50 cents in his pockets at the time he was as- saulted. This was missing when searched by the hospital attendants
 Davitt is unable to give a descrip- tion of his assailants and up to the present time the police have been un- able to obtain witnesses to the as isault. He had evidently been struck with a blackjack and from the nature of the cuts it appears that brass knuckles might also have been used.
