HOW ONE MAN
 WAS TREATED
Relatives of Civil War Veteran Remove Him
 From Hillside.

Bridgeporters should be interested in little tragedy that occurred & few days ago. The name of the main fig- ure in the scene is withheld at the re- quest of his relatives. He is a very old man, a Grand Army veteran of the Civil War. His friends were un- able to give him proper care and treatment at home so it was arranged to have himugo to the Hillside Home, where upon payment of $10 a week it was agreed that the veteran would be given excellent care. He was to be kept clean, above every thing else. It was arranged that he be given a bath every day, good nourishing food, such as grueIs, buttermilk, eggs, etc. On Tuesday the veteran was brought to the home and his relatives congratulated themselves upon their good fortune in obtaining the sick man a suitable place where he would be properly cared for.
 The following Thursday his inter- este'd friends came to see him and within three minutes after the visit ar engagements were made to have him removed Pathetic was the scene that met their eyes. In a filthy condition, the veteran was in a bed far from clean, His bread was served him out of an old Ozone soap box. Now the man is home again with his relatives and is not expected to live.

ITALIANS WANT OPEN CONFERENCE: Hate to Think Doors Will Remain Closed As At
 Vienna.

Milan, Sunday, Jan. 5-(By The Associated Press)-The editor of the Corriere Della Sera made the follow ing statement today concerning whether the peace conference should be secret or public:
 We hate to think that the doors of the conference will remain closed at Paris or Versailles as they remain cd closed at Vienna a century ago, and that the only Information we shall have about the discussions there will be insipid, and perhaps hypo-3 critical eommuniques which leave behind them the excited whisper Of rumors affording ample scope for suspicion, distrust, alarm. resentment. rancor and bitterness. The end of the war increased certain responsi- bilities. Those on whom the burden Of these responsibilities fall must face them resolutely.
 "We are about to come to de- cision about treaties which will have an immense influence on our lives and in a still greater degree on the lives of our sons and grandsoras. Our leaders ought to be afraid to take upon themselves such tnmendous responsibilities without knowing exactly the will of the people, which knowledge can be obtained only by open discussion. There is no man living who has the authority. and who feels so sure of himself. that he can look on himself as a plenipoten- i tiary in such complete upheavaI of , everything as the world is going through now

FIFTY JOBS BY
 LONELY RAFFLES
Police Watch and Wait For Pallid Stranger Who May
 Take Cocaine.

A mysterious Tone burglar" who has visited nearly 50 homes in Bridgeport during the past few months, continue to remain a puzzle to the police. He is said to possess about six or seven thousand dollars already from the robberies he has committed. Strange and peculiar is the method he employs in his night lv haunts Almost in every case his entrance is a kitchen or bathroom window, and he provides place of exit before entering home.
 His spells are of the same nature. consisting of clothes and iewelry, which he takes in the bedrooms of his victims. In some cases he is re- rorted to have taken money from under the pillow of a sleeper. His agility in this profession is so great fat he enters homes of any height and is termed the human fly"
 Only two persons have had a glance at this marauder, and he is described as tall and slender. His face is pale, and he wears a slouch hat and sometimes cap. He is never twice heard of in the same part of the town. He seems to haunt var ious sections of the city at short in- tel'Yals.
 He has no associate whatever, no fear in his exploits and seems to commit his deeds regardless of pur- suit. It is thought that he may probably be a cocaine fend. How ever, he has not yet been located by the police.

Gov. Beekman Urges This Reform for Rhode Island
 In Address.

Providence, R. l., Jan. 7.---A plea for unrestricted manhood suffrage in Rhode Island through the elimination of the property qualification for vot- CTS was made by Governor R. Living ston Beeckman in his annual messa ge to the general assembly today. The inauguration of this reform, he urged, should be regarded as the first and most vitally important duty of the session, particularly in view of the early return of the Rhode Island sol diers who have been in the thick of the fighting in France.
 Governor Beeckman recommended that courses in Americanization be made a part of the public instruction and that assistance be given to patri- otic societies willing to undertake this work. The hyphen," he added, must cease to be distinguishing mark in American citizenship"

M'ADOO LEAVES FOR CALIFORNIA

Washington, Jan. This was Will liam G. McAdoo's last day in Wash ington as director-general of rail- reads. He planned to leave tonight for Santa Barbara, Cal, for a vaca- ton of several months.
 Owing to President Wilson's delay in naming a new director, MT. Me Adoo will continue to supervise the railroads. Railroad wires will pro vide direct telegraphic communica- ton with railroad administration headquarters in Washington and with the officers of the seven regional directors. By a "trainrram" system, documents requiring his signature will be transmitted daily between Santa Barbara and Washington.
 The impression is growing in Washington that the President may not appoint a new director-g general until he returns to tlfe United States next month, watching meanwhile the reception by Congress of the pro- -posal to extend government control for five years.

Interstate Commerce Com mission Strongly Against
 Plan. EXPRESS VIEW TO SENATE COMMITTEE In Favor of Return to Fri vate Ownership in Rea-
 sonable Time.

Washington, Jan. 7-0pposi- ton to government ownership or operation of railroads at this time was expressed today by the Interstate Commerce Commission, in a statement presented to the Senate Inter- state Committee at it's hearing on railway legislation by Com missioner Edgar E. Clark.
 Considering and weighing as best we can all of the arguments for and against the different plans," said the statement, we are led to the con viction that with the adoption of ap- propriate provisions and safeguards for regulations under private owner ship, 1t would not be wise or best at this time to assume government owh- ership or operation of the railways of the country.
 The commission declared, how ever, that "a. reasonable period of re- adjustment or preparation" should be allowed before relinquishment of Federal control Tt seems obvious, ;" said the statement, that no plan of private ownership should be consid- cred unless it is under broadened, extended and amplif1ed government regulation
 Commissioner WoolIey dissented from the recommendation against continuation of government control and advocated adoption of Director General McAdoo's suggestion for ex- tension of Federal management. The commission presented a detail- ed program of proposed legislation in 1 case railroads are returned to private management, providing for strict reg | ulation by the government of rates, 1 services, finances, security issues and 1 pooling of facilities and claridcation of l doubtful relationship between Federal and State authorities.
 l Supporting the argument for return | of railroads to private management, the commissions statement says:
 "The law provides for Federal con- f trol shall not continue beyond twen- 1 ty-one months after the promulgation l of g. treaty of peace. The wisdom of l thus providing a reasonable period after the passing of the imperative necessity of our government in actual prosecution of warfare, within which 10 re-adjust or make preparations for re-adjustment of traffic conditions and to round out or prepare finan- 1 ciaI arrangements, is hardly open to i question: Carriers properties form erly composing a system, are now un- der the jurisdiction of two or more
