feet, at Shelton four feet where spring freshets rise ten feet or more above mean high tide. Above the dams are two branching valleys, the Nauga tuck and Housatonic. The former especially is susceptible of being canalized. From the dams to the bar is a distance of II F sea miles. 10000 feet. This section may be scientific ally regulated so that the ebb and flood tide currents and fresh water discharge shall follow the same axis. That axis will make the deep naviga- ble channel.
 The flowing waters may be so harnessed that the channel made will be self-maintained. Neither bars nor currents need veX navigation and the tidal ranges will be augmented all the way. The more it snows and rains the deeper will the channel grow down to the wanted depth. All the way on both sides would lay re- clamation areas valuable to industry. From the railway bridge at Stratford to the mouth on the right bank may be run a gentle concaye to which the deepest channel will cling in one long sleep.
 'The ebb tide is the working part IieF OI LIlS lHCOiillAS llue 1He CoD takes silt bnceasingly to the deep. if we but pass it through gradually and evenly expanding banks. For exam pie the navigable width at Shelton is 500 feet and the river is 10000 feet long. If the average co-eficient of expansion proves on survey and com putation to be one foot in 100 then the mouth should be TOO feet wider or a total of 1,200 feet.
 Bear in mind, however. that for ocean harbor facilities, Bridgeport does not have to look eastward. It's westward opportunity is so clear that if exclusively embraced Stratford might long remain a suburb. Bridgeport certainly will not be expected to improve the Housatonic except as a contributary to some com prehensive object when communities along it's banks do not help. Our debt and tax-distracted federal gov , ernment will soon shut the safe doors 1 to the national treasury to conserve what it has, and where indeed in all 1 America will you find a scientifically regulated tidal river"

Kane Hopes Washington
 Will Settle Strike

Officials in Washington have decided to investigate the strike between the International Carpenters Brotherhood and the Master Builders Associate of New York. A telegram has been sent by Secretaries Baker and Wilson of the apartment of Labor to the heads of the associations in dispute, asking them to send represent atives to Washington, Wednesday, for a con ference.
 The two conciliators appointed last week. Henry J. Skefington and Wal ter D. Savage of Washington, report ed the result of their efforts and the conference tomorrow is called to take up the matter of adjustment of the difficulties, which they were unable to adjust.
 The conferences which have been held in New York every day for the past week have resulted in no definite course of action as regards the situa- tion in this city. Matters have reached a deadlock. Neither side will concede a point said Martin Kane, business agent for the local Brother hood this morning. We hope the in tervention of Washington will result in a speedy settlement of the trouble and are awaiting the outcome of the conference with interest,"

ENGINEER BATES POINTS WAY TO IMMENSE HARb0R Says Natural Resources of This Vicinity Would Make
 Great Port. WOULD DEVELOP BOTH EAST AND WEST SHORE By Harnessing Waters of Housatonic Much Waste Land Would be Re-
 claimed.

Speaking before the Board of Al dermen at the public hearing on the port project bill, Lindon W. Bates, one of the most noted port develop ment engineers in the country, com pletely covered the ground surround ing Bridgeport, and Illustrating his talk with maps and moving pictures, using statistics and imagination to point out the feasibility of making Bridgeport the sixth greatest harbor in the United States, he gave those present clear insight on what steps
 were necessary to port development here.
 After long preamble in which he sighted similar conditions in other
 parts of the world, MT. Bates spoke as follows:
 i ITO the west is Black Rock harbor covering one side, nature threw 1 curved reef eastward and bare at low ] tide. A simple jetty here on this reef . of yours, and another running south west from Fayerweather island will
 enclose a splendid harbor area. Its
 aeaward approach would be 1000 feet wide. Just outside runs the con-
 tour of 33 feet below average low 1 tide. The entrance would carry 395
 feet at average high tide. Inside on
 the map prepared to show the possi- | blities of the situation, there is de- | lineated a system of piers, slips and | channels. Areas are also subdivided
 for business, manufacture, residence,
 rail. motor and air terminals and by | way of illustration there is shown an 1 oil refinery.
 | Tn Black Rock harbor thus trans | formed one sees that he may get over | 35,000 feet of water frontage besides 1 very many business lots, factory sites
 and residential plots Next is the cen tral and present harbor of Bridge | port with its outer convereing break IIwater, it's long unprotected but easily | maintained channel to the 22-foot
 contour and which may be extended | to the 33 foot line. Inside are a series | of channels like the fingers of ones 5and, the Pequonnock river, John l sons creek, Yellow Mill pond and Eewis gut. The tidal range as al
 Black Rock is six and a half feet.
 This small harbor has been of
 the greatest value but to carry 33 feet
 at low tide every dock or wharf
 would have to be rebuilt for they
 would collapse into channels com
 mensurate to the draft of large wood
 en cargo ships. Even when rebuilt
 to safely front deep water the best
 facilities their sites afford in area and
 in access would quite lack sufficien' | attra There are several srna' frontages that may be and should b. developed into the circle of th . ',bridges. To carry deep water above , ithe bridges would require their re f building and the channels above the
 ridges are too narrow "The present harbor and branchir
 channels makes 'pent up Utica which confines the powers and pro 3 gress of Bridgeport. There should be | scope for the development of all that really beneficial to the community The Housatonic is a tidal stream \ whose mean range at Stratford is 5.s

Yontschttch, were still alive when the Bulgars saturated their bodies with gasoline and set them afire. Flames spread about them and they pleaded piteously for mercy but their pleas were met with sneers. After the flames had spent themselves, said Father Yontschitch, the charred bodies of 21 victims were thrown into two holes. Arms. legs, heads, he said were left protruding, exposed to the ravages of dogs and wolves that in vest the mountains in the neiShbor- hood.
 The Bulgars left the scene before daybreak. Father Yontschitch made his way on foot to the village of Po- nor, and eventully to Pirot, his home. From that time. 21 months he con- cealed himself from the Bulgars un- der the floor of the house. He lived almost like a rat, food being lowered to him through a hole In the floor. The Associated Press correspondent visited this place and saw the wretch ed conditions under which Yont- schitch lived. When the priest emerg- ed from his self-imposed confinement. his appearance had so changed that his friends failed to recognize him. He was later seized by the Bulgars and sent to a prison camp at Eski Djuma near the Ruman nian frontier, where for three months his only food was slice of bread and a few pieces | Of leek each day. When the war
 ceased Father Yontschitch and 150 | other Serbian priests were returned l home.
 | To confirm the priests story, the | correspondent visited the spot where the victims of the massacre were l buried. The place is obscured on al | sides by mountains Many bones | skulls, and parts of the priests vest
 ments being scattered about in con | fusion. The correspondent found nea | the bones a number of empty cart
 ridges of Bulgarian manufacture. Lit 1 tie candles had been placed in tn | ground by local peasants who cam | each day to say prayers over tn
 graves after the Bulgarian evacua | ton.
 An international investigation com
 mission is expected soon to examin the scene.

SE.. BEAN PRIESTS PROSECUTED BY
 INHUMAN BULGARIAN SOLDIERS
Shot In the Back, and Burned Pyres While Still Alive While Those Who Escaped Suffered Untold Misery un- til End of War; Among Stories Told by Priests Who Survived - investigation to Be Made by Internationa Commission

Prot, Serbia, Jan 10 (Corres- pondence Of The Associated Press)- Confirmatory evidence of the slaugh- ter of Serbian priests by Bulgarians during the war, was given to a rep resentative of The Associated Press today by Rev. Miliya Yontschitch. pastor of one of the churches here who personally witnessed the 1nassa- ere of 20 of his colleagues and one Serbian officer. All, he says, were shot and many were burned alive.
 Father Yontschitch escaped @ simi- lar fate only by feigning death after he had been shot. He exhibited to The Associated Press correspondent TWO bullet wounds in his left shoulder. Another priest, Rev. Thomas Popo- witch, of Pirot, escaped by fleeing across the mountain road.
 The murder of the priests took place Nov. 25, 1915, in the village of Kremaencia, about a5 miles east of Nish. ccording to thes tory of Father Yontschitch, whioA follows:
 Father Yontschitc& in company with 22 other Serbian priests, were taken by Bulgarians from Pirot to Nish where they were thrown into a

It was after midnight and half moon gave the only illumination to the l loaely mountain roads and valleys The priests had not gone far when the guards shot them in their backs Father Yontschitch dragged him. | self in the darkness behind a large l rock whence he could see, the whole scene of murder belng enacted by the l Bulgars.

WHAT TO DO WITH ANARCHISTS.

The American people have already lost three presidents by assa ssination 4 plot has just been revealed charg- ing a group of I. W W. men with making all arrangemen ts to kill Pres ident Wilson. Plots against the chief executive are only one item in a vast program of revolutionary ac- ton.
 Through the war they conducted a nation wide program for destruction of property. These people have de- clared war against the existing social order. Many of them will never rest quiet until they have perpetrated some deed of horror. What shall be done with these lurking enemies, whose minds ars filled with these black thoughts?
 The obvious answer IS to establish social justice everywhere, so that un- sound minds would find less provo cation toward violent action. This is a good reply. yet 1t does not solve the whole problem.

If the government and every em- p1oper should go to the very limit in Humanitarian advance, and do ev- erythtng possible in the most unself- tsh and generous way to improve the condition of the working masses, there would still be social unrest. It would not be so general and menac- ing. But there would still be fanad- cal minds bent on destruction of so- ciety.
