 Were not these "deadheads" so prominent possibly the promoters could have Q chance. But then there are so many strings that one has to pull that nothing but discourage ment faces the ambitious promoter He gets very little embarrassment. It takes money to conduct a boxing show and friends who impose upon friend ly promoters for buckets are by no means i.-lping pay these bills.
 It seems on nights when battles are staged here that every police officer and fireman gets through the door gratis. This does not include the seemingly thousand and one pCiti- clans and their friends who have the eudacity to demand free admission. O boxing town in New England, but not under prevailing circum- stances. A promoter today Is cheat ing himself by staging a show here. It can't be done. The public wants q good show, but will not pay for 1t. But the reason is the free list and the exorbitant overhead expenses that must be paid.
 We hope that some day promoters will be considered as human and business men and not individuals who mus stand for holdups and they are certainly held up in highwayman fashion in Bridgeport.

Receiver Will Grant Increases
to Standardize Pay Where
Necessary.

Lindley M. Garrison, receiver OF the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. said

paid to the motormen and conductors in
this territory, but will include station
agents, signal maintainers. car cleaners
and possibly shopmen. A new schedule
for the signal men is now in course of
preparation. and schedules affecting the
other classes of employees will be pre-
pared as soon as their requests for In
creases reach the receiver through the
usual channels.
Mr.. Garrison declined to discuss the
general b. r. r. financa situation other
than to say that while he had not yet
given II the necessary study he was in
clined to the belief expressed by those
who had studied the matter that the

long as fares remained as now fixed.
He declined to commit himself, however,

remedy.
The wage increases already granted

Suits for

This study of the correct

ant part of our work-a
part that must be planned
with great care.
Suits of this type must be
simple, . Immediately tai
lored-must accentuate all

tuated. These suits are
specialized at $45 to 1913.
In fine mems wear serge, trico-
tine and Poiret twill. Fine shep-
herds plaids in black and white,
and brown and white also appear.
The long-revered coat to be
worn with a smart waistcoat is
developed in some of these suits.
The semi-box coat and belted and
semi-belted models are also care
fully designed.
At $49.50 is a serge model
with long revers and white
silk waistcoat, that is par
ticularly good.
A midnight blue serge,
finely pin-tucked with white

EXPLAINS
MACTION AT ALBANY
Tells Why Walters Enforce
nlent Bill Failed.

William II. Anderson. State Superin-
tendent OF the Anti-Saloon League, in a
statement Issued last night, declared
that the cause OF the failure of the Wal
ters prohibition enforcement bill to pass
the Legislature was that the brewers
and saloon keepers got into a row. and
the Anti-Saloon League was in a post
ton to hold the balance OF power and
dump" both of them in the interest OF
public welfare
He criticised both Senator Walters
and Speaker Sweet OF the Assembly for
failure to pass the bill repeating the ex-
else law. putting. as he declared. the
state in the position of inviting people
to sell liquor in return for tax paid
while at the same time not being in po-
sition to protect them from prosecution
by the Federal authorities. He said
"If in good faith Senator Walters
would have put through the Excise De-
partment's little bill making II the duty
OF the Excise Commissioner to enforce
the prohibition law, and Speaker Sweet
is censurable for not passing 1t through
the Assembly in time to hold the Senate
up to its responsibility. However. the
worse the situation is mussed up the
greater will become the need for the
Anti-Saloon Leagues enforcement bill
and the stronger will become the league
position from day to day. II won ratifi-
cation; IT defeated notification. And
when Congress acts. as 1t will Soon, the
remnant of the liquor traffic can be
whipped .even in New York"
Referring to the criticism of the Re-
publican Legislature by Gov. Smith Mr..
Anderson said 1t would be more con-
vincing II Gov. Smith did not have n
record az a Tammany legislator OF vot-
ing ten times in seven sessions against
allowing the people OF New York and
other States to settle the liquor question
for themselves"
