The first liquor license holder ir Bridgeport to take definite steps to surrender his license to the county commissioners is the president of the Hotel Lorraine Co. on Chapel street, who today notified the commission CTS that he was ready to quit Hon. Joshua Meltzer Is president and treas urer of the Hotel Lorraine Co which operates the hostelry and he communicated with the commission CTS.
 He was informed that there might be some delay before he received a rebate on the price the company paid for the license. The commissioners must file a requisition with the city treasurer for the amount represent ing the months for which the license will not be used. The money will be sent to the commissioners who wl,l return 1t to the Lorraine Co.
 The commissioners also received word from a club in Greenwich that the organization had turned in its license. There is expected to be a great rush to turn in the licenses now in view of the fact that the prohibi- ton edict is not likely to be lifted Sept. 1 by President Wilson be- cause army demobilization is not completed

Three thousand corset work CTS were thrown out of em- ployment today by the action of the Warner Bros.

Officials of tho George c. Batcheller Co. and the Birdseye-Somers Co. said they could make no statements today about the situation. The action of the War ner Bros.

 ALL THEIR OWN

Coblenz. Friday July 11-(By' A. P)-The American soldiers who cap tured Cantigny and scored various other victories against the Germans are performing in a three-rins circus this week for the entertainment of the soldiers a'ong the Rhine. Hun dreds of German civilians were per mitted to witness the performances by the payment of an admission fee of one mark.
 The first division Is giving the circus at Montabaur. The first per formance was given today. The cir Gus will continue four days with two performances daily. Excursion trains were run today from Coblenz to Mon tabaur for the benefit of the soldiers of the second and third divisions

CORONER SAYS
 CHILDREN MUST
 BE SAFECUARDED
Every Precaution Must Be Taken for Safety on Roll
 CT Coasters.
COENAN DEATH
 WAS ACCIDENTAL
No Little Children Without Escorts and Straps Will
 Be Provided.

Stating that the carrying of small children without escorts on the rol- Ter coaster at Roton Point is dan- gerous, Coroner Phelan today recom- mended that the practice be discon- tlnued unless straps are provided to hold the passengers in their seats. The recommendation was made in the coroner's finding in the case of Frank A. Coenan, aged eight, who was killed July by a fall from the roller coaster. His death was due to accident. the coroner found.
 The coroner says, The carrying E of small children of uneasy or preco- cious tendencies without adult escort in these cars is very imprudent and laden with unpleasant if not danger ous possibilities.
 The Roton Point roller coaster, which was patronized by many Bridgeport children who went there on Sunday school picnics during the past few weeks, is under the man agement of. the Gorge Scenic Water Ride Co.,, of which Nevelle Bayley is president. He has already agreed not to allow small children without es- corts to ride and also told the coro- ner he will provide suitable straps for the cars. The Coenan boy lived in New York but was spending the day at Roton Point when he was killed He was leaning over the rear seat of the car when he fell .S2 feet to the ground.

FIRE AND SWORD USED
 BY LAPS TO KILL OFF
 CHRISTIANS IN KOREA
DETAILED ACCOUNT OF ATROCITIES THEY COMMITTED MADE PUBLIC-WOMEN VIOLATED AND HUMILIATED IN
 PUBLIC VIEW

New York, July 12-A report of alleged Japanese atrocities in Korea was made public to- day, at the headquarters of the Presbyterian church in Amer ica. It is a result of investiga- tion of representatives In Ko- req of the Presbyterian church in the U. s. following the inn prisonment of some of it's mis- sionaries by the Japanese au- thorities. The information from Korea was transmitted by such means that it escaped the Japanese censors.
 Hundreds of Koreans who had professed Christianity are said to have been driven by Japanese gend- armes at the point of bayonets into churches, there to be fired upon as they huddled in terror and later to perish in flames as the places of wor- ship were put to the torch Most of these victims, it Is narrated, were men. Surviving women and children were left in destitution.
 H. H. Underwood, missionary liv- ing in Seoul was quoted in the Tol1io Advertiser of April 29, 1919, accord ing to the report, regarding visit he made to Pal Tan, a market town near Buwon. A fortnight before, Japanese troops, he said he was told, burned 36 of the 40 houses in the village of Chayammni. two miles from Pal Tan, because the inhabitants were Christians. Mir. Underwood said he was told also that the vic- tims had not figured in any rioting or shouted for Korean independence. Pal Tan, he said was informed, es- capped both fire and sword because there were no Christians there"
 Preliminary police examinations of Koreans suspected of conlplicity in the revolutionary movement are said in the reports of the investigators to include "every human refinement in brutality men being beaten to death and women subjected to nearly every possible form of shameful treatment.

HEATING PLANT
 REMOVED CAN'T RENT BUILDING

Alleging that they cannot rent their building because the heating plant has been removed, William Griffith and Mary Griffith of Stamford, have brought suit in the Common Pleas court against Homer Craw of Nor walk, who is alleged to have removed the apparatus. Papers were filed to day and are returnable to the Septem- Der term of court.
 It is claimed that Craw damaged the walls and floors of the building when he took away the heating ap- paratus. The owners say they must spend a large sum to make repairs if they expect to rent the structure again. They ask s495 damages. Craw said he bought the heating apparatus from a man whom he thought had a right to sell it.

WaF-IIngton. July 12-Pres- ldent Wilson today vetoed the agricultural bill because of it's provision repeating the cay light saving law.
