Washington, Oct. 28-Hope was expressed in official quar- ters today that the soft coal strike set fqr Saturday would be postponed if not called off.
 Announcement that John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers of America, had summoned members of the full scale committee to meet the international executive board at Indianapolis tomorrow, was accepted as an indication that President Wilson's command to the miners organization not to plunge the country into in dustrial chaos might be needed.
 In full belief that officials of the international body who ordered the strike have power to stop it, govern ment officials awaited the next step, which must come from the miners Confidential reports from the central

TO PROSECUTE
 BROTHERS IN
 NEW YORK CITY
One Arrested Yesterday Hoarded 1,3OO,OOO lbs
 of Bacon

New York, Oct. 28-Food prof1teers in New York who have ignored a warning issued several wooks ago to cease manipulation of food prices, found themselves face to face today with criminal prosecution.
 Following the arrest yesterday on federal warrants of two large handlers of food products, Arthur Williams, Federal Food Administrator, gave notice that Thereafter, we are going to recommend to the United States District Attorney prosecution of all cases of violations in which we ob- tain evidence.'
 The two men arrested yesterday were Louis Leavitt, a manufacturer, who was accused of boarding 1,300,- 900 pounds of bacon purchased from the War Department, and Samuel Shapiro, a manufa curing confeetion- CT, charged with profteering in sugar. Both were released in bond for hear 'ings before a United States comnlis- sioner. MT. Williams said he had learned the name of a, man who had offered 1000 tons of sugar for sale at prices nearly double those fixed as fair by the food administration, and that proceedings would be in- stituted against this man within a short time.

EFFORT TO RE-PASS MEASURE OVER VETO
 IS SHARPLY FOUGHT
Democrats Raise Objec- tion to Putting Aside Treaty Consideration - Underwood Says War Time Prohibition is Unconstitutional.

Washington, Oct. 28-An ef- fort to have the Senate act on a motion to re-pass the prohi- bition enforcement bill over President Wilson's veto was made soon after the Senate convened today. Several Dem ocrats objected and a long par iamentary wrangle over the rules ensued.
 When the bill was received from the House, Senator Sterling, Republi- can, South Dakota, who had charge of the measure when 1t passed the Senate, asked unanimous consent for it's immediate consideration. Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas, ob- jected and then Senator Sterling moved that the Senate, which was in open executive session for debate on the peace treaty, proceed to execu- tive business.
 Objection to laying aside the treaty was made by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the administration leader, who has opposed prohibition meas

 D. 5. MEDAL
Belgian Royalty Guests of National Capital
 Today

Washington. Oct. 2S-King Albert, Queen Elizabeth and Crown Prince Leopold, Duke of Brabant, of Bel gium, are the guests of the nation in the national capital today.
 From the time the royal guests ar rived in Washington last night when they were greeted by Vice President and Mrs. Marshall, members of the cabinet and diplomatic corps, until their departure next Thursday, their time Is filled with engagements from morning until night.
 The program calls for an informal tea with Mrs. Wilson at the White House, Thursday afternoon, but it is probable, in view of President Will sons improved condition, that the guests will be permitted to visit the President Informally.

Liquor Dealers Here Take
 Advantage Of Wilson Veto
Boder Dealers Sell Openly-Tinid Ones Open Up Today No Action By Liquor Association

For the first time since June 30 Bridgeport became very wet spot as far as the liquor dealers of the city were concerned today when a majority of the saloon men of the city commenced to sell liquor with a percentage of alcohol far above the 2:75 per cent mark, taking advan- tage of the respite granted by Presi- dent Wilson's veto of the prohibition enforcement bill.
 Immediately after the news of the Presidents veto was passed around yesterday a few of the more daring ones ordered the bar opened wide and sold last night but it was not un- til this morning when the news of the veto was confirmed by the news papers did the majority open.
 Liquor men believe that the Senate will never pass the bill over the Presidents veto and at least they will have until January 16, 1920, in which to dispose of their stock.
 The slight respite in the low, how ever, will not aid the liquor men a great deal as they say they are un- able to secure hard liquors from the bonding houses.
 Thomas F. Flynn, of the Liquor Dealers Assoiiation, stated this morn ing that the association had not taken any action on the matter and as far as he knew none was planned until after the Senate stand was clearly defined.
 Asked whether the liquor men were planning to open up and sell across all bars, he stated he did not know and whatever action they are taking is being done by individuals and not bv the association.

Gigantic Wave Hurls Lake Boat High In the Air
 Against Pier
MORTALITY LIST
 MAY REACH 20

Muskegon, Oct. 2S.-Caught by a gi- gantic wave as she was trying to make this harbor after riding out terrific gale on Lake Michigan last night, the Crosby steamer City of MuskegOn crashed into the south pier at AIuskegon channel this morning, and sank in less than ten minutes, carrying to death at least 12 of her passengers and crew. The exact num- Der of dead has not been determined but may reach 20.
 The bodies of four men and three women have been washed ashore, and the beach for miles is being patrol1ed for additional victims.
 The boat left Milwaukee last night and was severely buffeted during the night run. lust as she was reaching apparent safety an enormous wave caught her and swept her high upon the souah pier. The force of the inn pact lifted the heavy craft out of the water and for a few minutes it hung partly suspended from the pier. Then Captain Edward Miller ordered the passengers to jump.
 Those who hesitated went down with the steamer a few minutes later when another huge wave tore the vessel from the pier and sent it to the bottom of the channel
 The crash came almost within the shadow of the coast guard station, but the heavy sea rendered futile ef- forts to launch lfeboats, nor could any be launched from the steamer.
 The exact number of dead may never be known, as the passenger list went down with the vessel.
 Nothing is left of the steamer ex- cepting tons of wreckage strewn along the shore of Lake Michigan.

LOGO CROWD CHEERS VINCENT;
 KISSES WILSON

That Allen F. Vincent is popular in all quarters of the city is evinced by thex reception of Sam Lavit at the I4ocomobiIe company this. noon when over 100O raised their hand for Vim cent and only one man said he would vote for Wilson.
 Lavit in following his noon talks to the shop employees of this city went to the Locomobile this noon and told about HOO about Vincent. Needless to say he was accorded a hearty re- ceptio7.
 At the end of his speech he asked how many would vote for Vincent and all but one raised their hands. Asked how many intended to vote for Wilson one raised his hand Lavit asked him if he had been promised job as policeman and the crowd hissed and he walked away.
 Each time Lavit mentioned Will sons name the crowd hissef and 'sbooed" until Lavit would smile and change the topic.

PERSHING'S AUTO ON EXHIBIT IN
 ARCADE TODAY

On exhibition at the Post Office Ar cade is the handsome touring car used by General Pershing in his travels overseas. The car is the property of the War Department and was built in Bridgeport by the Locomobile com pany, which makes it of even greater interest to local people.
 Sergeant Harry L. Pollard of Ohio, General Pershing's chauffeur, has charge of the exhibition, which will last until tomorrow, and speaks most highly of the make of the car and of it's excellent service rendered the Gen- eral. He said Unanswered all the re- quirenents of an excellent car and had travelled 3O,000 miles over Bel giun, France, Italy and Germany.
 Almost all the notables of Europe, kings, queens, lords and others of high honorary positions had travelled in the car. President Wilson, during his visit to France, used the car on many occasions. The car is of olive green co1oring and bears the number U. S. 113470. It looks very little the worse for it's long travels on the other side of the world.

Senor Cardozo, Premier of Portu- gal, in a statement to The Associated Press, Monday, denied the truth of reports that Portugal had granted the United States the right to establish a naval base in the Azores. He hint ed that the United States had not asked for such concession, but said it would have been impossible to have granted it, as it would give the United States a donninatLyg position in the archipeligo.

Moses w. Manwaring, a half century prominent in the pub lie life of Bridgeport, made a statement today, in which he tells of the intolerabIe miscon- duct of the King Machine, by which he was kept in daily i gar for the honor of his office, during the six years that he was treasurer of the city, which office. he holds now.
 The deficit for the fiscal year will be at least a half mil lion dollars.
 The Machine puts down the money 1t spends, but there is no heading of the Machine ac- count, and perquisites, need less salaries, political jobs, cost
 plus profits and the like are
 buried out of sight so that the
 casual observer gets no clue to
 what is going on.
 Treasurer Manwaring who has handled something like S30,OOO,OoO of Bridgeport's money during six years,
 without a penny of error in his office. has been compelled to accept political
 assistants, people who, sometimes, did not know how to do the work, and some times, did not do it, though they drew the salary for the job. Manwaring let the Machine know i that 1t was not good judgment to is- sue so many bonds, for i'll conceived d projects, and he tried to show the misguided leaders of the Machine that they were destroying the credit of the city and injuring the taxpay- CTS and especially the small taxpay- CTS.
 MT. Manwaring exposes quietly but relentlessly the means that have been used to keep from the citizens the truth about vital matters. To permit | the issue of bonds, valuations were 1 inflated, and the grand list increased. i The time came when borrowing would not keep down the tax rate enough to | Continued on Page SiX.)
