NEW YORK CARS CARRY 2 BILLION .
(NeW York Times.)

Less impressive, somehow, than the statement that New York's various ln- terurban transportation lines carried more than two billion passengers in their last fiscal year is the other statement that in that year the fares paid on these lines, instead of being 4S per capita, as they were in lS60, now number 370 Of course, not every man, woman and child in the city takes more than one ride a day throughout the year in surface, elevated or sub way cars, but those of us who take more such rides than that make up for those who do not.

"Its a Bear," at the Plaza

Taylor Holmes, famed for his work In light comedy on both screen and stage, will appeal to even the most dormant sense of humor in his latest picture, Its a Bear" now being pre- sented at the Plaza theater.
 There humor in the very suggestion that this urbane star is presented in the environment of the western rough and-ready. The idea of the polite CO., medlan being isolated from all refine ment is provoking in itself, and the patrons of the Plaza who expect to laugh will not be disappointed

"Jin,s Girl, cominq to EIks

Patrons of the Elks theater may con- fidentally expect genuine treat when the curtain arises on the initial per- formance in this city on Del Lawrence production of "Jim's Girl" an all American pla- if there ever was one, running through three acts and a pro- logue of as snappy and original dia- logue as the most blase theatergoer would care to witness.
 Summed up in the words of one Of New Yorks most able dramatic critics, "Jim's Girl" is beautifully simple, and simply beautiful. It has no problem to puzzle nor question to answer; but nevertheless abounds with situations, climaxes and developments that hold the audience throughout it's presenta- ton: and any play that can do that in these days of remarkable dramatic of ferings. must have merit out of the or dinary, and that in brief is just what "Jim's Girl" has, and has it in abun- dance.
 Lena Rivers will be the offering al the Elks for the remainder of the week with matinees today and Saturday excepting Friday night, when Alice Nielsen, the queen of American prima donna's will charm the music lovers and the Lawrence company will enter' tain their friends in Mesa.

 Activities In New York harbor this morning were virtually at a stand still. In addition to the stoppage of steamer sailings resulting from the longshorenlen's Is strike. employees of all the Hudson river ferry lines and all the railroad company tug lines except the Lackawanna, struck suddenly last night, tying up the tugs and fer. ry boats.
 Railroad officials assert that the strike was the result of radical pro- paganda and was called in sympathy with longshOrenen. The ferry and tug men deny these charges. howev- CT. asserting that they are members of ''An1erican'' unions and that they are striking to enforce demands of their own-namely, for a six rather than a seven day w eek.
 A committee representing the striking longshoremen today flatly re- fused a virtual ultimatum from the war department in regard to the handling of four freight ships and six passenger ships now on their way to New York.
 The war department had announc- ed through William 2. Ripley, Chair man of the National Adjustment COmInissinon, that it t'intended'' that the ships should be handled MT Ripley asked the strikers committee if they would promise to take care of these ten ships, and received a flat refusal.

ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.

No. it will stand as a Memorial of power and of beauty, helping to give 11s endowment as we look upon it, and helping us to see that the things of the hand all about us in this busy place are not the triumphant end, but rather the things of the spirit, and one of these, this Memorial of moral power and moral beauty. And so long as it shall stand it will teach the people of this fair city that great living is not in great possessing, but in great service. For this Memorial is a gift to the people of this city in value perhaps only once equalled or excelled in the history of the city. It points a splendid spirit Of service, and that is its chiefest inspiration.
 May it's example, enduring for the ages, lead our men and women to give of their abundance to the peo- ple of our city, to bless him who re- ceives, through its physical use, or its mental health and delight, or it's spiritual power and beauty, and to bless the memory of him who gives by associating him forever with that quality of mercy which so shines in acts of service for our kind.
 Mayor Wilson, the trustees have given their best endeavor to the sa- cred trust committed to them by Mrs. Perry.
 We hand over to the keeping of the city of Bridgeport this completed Memorial, and shortly we shall hand to the city of Bridgeport in trust substantial sum of money, part of the interest earned upon the legacy since it came into our hands, in trust to be used for the future care and maintenance of this Memorial.

MINCOLELLI
 DEATH DUE
 TO ACCIDENT I

The death of George Mingolelli. 13S sherman street. the New Haven rail- road traclIwalker who was killed at the Lafayette street viaduct last We'd nesday, was accidental. Coroner Phe- Ian found today. In the finding it is stated that the deceased was engaged in performing his duties on the day of the fatality.
 While walking on the tracks he saw two trains approaching. He evidently thought he could cross the outside track in front of a passenger train for he started to run toward the edge of the viaduct. He was struck by the locomotive, however, and in- stantly killed. Patrick Roach, engin- ger of the train, did not know of the fatality until he reached New Haven and saw blood on the locomotive. At the time of the accident the train was speeding at the rate of 25 miles an hour.

CATCH THIEVES
 WHO STOLE OVER 300 AUTOMOBILES
(Continued from Page One.D

(Continued from Page One) longing to Frederick A. Chaffee, 29l Harriet street, which was stolen from in front of the Campus resta urant in John street, last Saturday noon.
 The police first picked up the trail of the automobi thieves about three weeks ago. when Detective Frank HoIbrook of this city located eight stolen automobiles in Seymour.
 Last Saturday noon the Chatfee car was stolen and the police had reason to believe the men who stole this machine were implicated in the Seymour affair. Police departments of surrounding towns and cities were immediately notified
 In six weeks six machines were stolen in Bridgeport Among the car owners of this city whose machines are missing are George L. Mara. Dr. s. P. Cronin. l.. H. Corbitt, William Steinke and John Foster.
 The police have been working on the theory that the men stole mach ines in one state, and took them to another where they sold them. In Seymour the gang sold two cars for $2.OOO apiece. one for $1,5OO and an other for $750. They advertised in Waterbury as dealers in secondhand
 
 To make their game more safe, the thieves took out driving licenses in every stnte in which they operated. After stealing a car the men simply changed q Q license plate and pro- ceeded to another state. In nearly all cases the auto thieves avoided travel ing main roads with a stolen car. This piece of strategy resulted in the rob bers getting away with their game successfully for some time.
 The au-0n.obie thieves are being held fur trial in Newark. where they are also charged with stealing auto rnc5tIes. After his arrest yesterday, Walter made desperate break for freedom, but halted when a detect i've fired a revolver to scare him. In addition to the automobile theft charges. it is alleged that the men at tempted to steal an airplane. They met with no success in this venture as the aviator suspected their inten- ttors and notified the police.
 An attempt will be made to ex- adite the men to this city where they VII be charged with the theft of autO0lO' lies.
