SEVERE HAIL AND LIGHTNING
 WREAK HAVOC

An electrical storm, the fury of which was not spent for many hours, did considerable damage in Bridge port and other parts of the state last night and accompanied by a high wind, hail and rain, created a dis turbance, the effects of which will be apparent for some time.
 The Bridgeport Tube Co.'S plant, the only place struck by lightning, was in serious danger of being burned to the ground when fire was caused by short circuited wires from which insulation had been burned. The damage amounted to about $500.
 In the throes of the storm, trolley traffic was halted, automobiles were unable to make their way through flooded streets and in some instances found uprooted trees blocking the roads and there was a general havoc from one end of the city to the other. At the beaches on the outskirts of the city, thousands of Bridgeporters were yet enjoying the cool breezes as relief from the 90 degrees in the shade day, when the storm suddenly came upon them.
 The conditions were general throughout the state and the same as here. Fires were caused in many places and these were of varied conse- quences, in most cases being quickly controlled. At Windsor $ large barn on the Loomis Institute property was burned with a loss of $8,OOO.

 ''The movement of newswriter to organize seems to be spontaneous. Reports we receive through various channels from New York city, Wynn, Mass, Providence, Omaha, Evansville, Indiana. Pittsburgh, and other places, all of which places have seen the birth of newswriters' organizations within the past ten days, offset the malicious report that the organization of Equity here was instituted as a feature in a newspaper war. We are far from be ing alone.
 "Onr organization is becoming solid flied. With three newspapers repre- scented by their entire editorial per sonneI on our membership list, one other by 90 per cent, and the other by 60 per cent, we have good reasons for feeling exuberant. Equity has de- cided to admit artists to membership, and two of these have already en- rolled.
 Equity is to produce a benefit the atrical entertainment. Alfred G. Jackson, the committee op that pro- ject, announces that it will be held on

WESTPORT BUSES
 ARE GIVEN NEW
 STARTING PLACE

In order that traffic congestion in Middle street may be relieved, the traffic department of the Police De- partment has assigned the corner Of Water street and Fairfied avenue as the starting place for the jitney busses leaving this city for westport and Norwalk. Drivers of the Eight busses, which are now operating on the Nor walk line conferred with the police this morning, and expressed satisfac- ton over the change.
 For some time there has been talk of taking the Norwalk jitneys off of Middle street, inaSmuch as that highway, which is the only street running parallel with Main street, in the business section, is hardly wide enough to accommodate the normal traffic which passes through it. The jitney men entered no complaint when they were notified of the change, and it is expected that the removal of the busses from Middle street will help greatly in clearing up the congestion.

Ut was for the safety of tho public and now that I have been visited by a committee who have told mo that there will be no disturbance today, have granted the permit" Superintendent Redgate said.
