USUAL THRONCS FOR C0NEY ISLAND ABSENT TODAY Brooklyn Gar Mems Strike May Completely Tie Up
 Traffic. FEW ELEVATED AND
 SUB TRAINS RUN Lewis Nixon Agrees to Meet Strikers and Hear
 Grievances.

New York, Aug. 9-The usual Sat urday throngs at Manhattan termi- nals of B. R. T. lines to Coney 1siand and Brighton Beach were absent early today. The strike of Brooklyn car men, which for three days has para lyzed traffic on the surface, elevated and subway lines of the company bid fair to. make the tieup fully com plete.
 A few elevated and subway trains were operated during the night, but the service was sporadic and the pat ronage extremely light. No surface cars were operated, and the number ordered out of the barns this morning was totally inadequate for traffic de- mands of the routes they traversed. As on the three proceeding days of the strike, the motor buses, jitneys, moving vans and other similtr con- veyances increasing in number as the day advanced. As the larger Brook lyn department stores and many of- ftces are clobed Saturday during August thousands of store employees and shoppers helped to decrease the size of the early crowds by remain ing at home or seeking recreation at places on traffic lines not affected bv the strikes.
 In an effort to settle the strike Lewis Nixon, Public Service Com missioner, arranged to meet a com mittee of strikers and listen to their grievances. In view of the declara- ton of Lindley M. Garrison, receiver for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co.,, that he would not treat with a com mittee which merely represented the

 ILL IN HOSPITAL
 CASE CONTINUED

The continued case of Joseph Pa gona was continued for one week this morning, in the City Court, due to the fact that Pasona is still in the hospital where he was taken after being shot in the heel by the police man who arrested him. It is charg- cd that Pagona was walking along tho street with some pipe in his hands, when he was stopped by 6 policeman who wanted to know where he obtained the pipe. He started 70 run, and the patrolman fired at him, tho bullet striking him in the heel. Pagona was locked up charged with breach of tho peace. Bonds were fixed at $100.

LOCAL JITNEY DRIVERS RETURN FROM BROOKLYN Believed General Exodus of Men to New York Has
 Stopped. PICKING NOT AS
 GOOD AS EXPECTED Jitneurs Here Working Contentedly Under
 Regulations.

Apparently some local jitney men who took their cars to New York city hoping to clean up a for tune while the Brooklyn trolley strike continued, have found the "pickings'' less easy than they expected. Some of the drivers returned to Bridgeport this morning and brought word to their brother jitneurs that the city job was pretty tough and money not as easy to get as it was reported.
 On the other hand, some Bridge port jitney drivers have received word that bus operators in New
 York have made as much as S150 a
 day, and will continue to get big money so long as the strike is in force. This report caused a few more men to forsake the local field for the blk town. but it is believed that the general exodus of jitney men from Bridgeport has ceased.
 It was also reported today that tit- ney drivers of this city have been ap- preached by representatives of the Brooklyn city officials, relative to the subject of bringing their cars to Brooklyn. The Brooklyn officials are known to be negotiating with jitney operators in various cities of Con- necticut, New Jersey and Rhode Is land for the transfer of their cars to New York.
 Those jitneurs who refuse to leave Bridgeport are working contentendly for the most part, under the new traffic regulations. It was stated at the traffic division in police headquar- terS this morning, that 90 per cent. of the local drivers are entirely satisfied with the new regulations, and the routes assigned to each ,dTiver through the new rulings.
 One thing which will probably tend to keep the operators in line is the fact that bonding companies will refuse to furnish bond for the men unless they are under police super vision. Inasmuch as all drivers will be required to furnish bonds amount ing to s5,G00 or more, after the first of January, it will be necessary for them to come under police supervis- ion. This supervision will of course be denied to those who openly violate the city regulations.

SCHOOL RECIPIENT OF
 HIGH H0N0RS
The Booth & Bayliss Com mercial School Now a Member of the National Association of Accredited Commercial Schools.

A high and exceptional reward of
 Booth & Bayliss Commercial School of | this city through it's election to mem
 bership in the strong and exclusive National Association of Accredited Commercial Schools, with headquar- ters in Des Moines, Iowa.
 This national association was form ed several years ago by a number of private business school men whose ideals in school work and business were the very highest, whose personal integrity was unassailab1e and whose ambition was to see the private schools of the United States placed upon the highest possible plane of ef- fciency, knowing as they did the vast influence such schools yielded and their very necessary part in the busi- ness world.
 They knew that the best way to combat low standards and chicanery in the private school field was to form an association that would set stand ards by which the public could know whether or not the private school was the best and worthy of the utmost confidence.
 Before the Booth & Bayl1SS school was admitted it had to submit to a thorough examinaton of it's courses of traning, it's methods of instruction, the character, ca1iber and educational foundation of it's teachers, the salaries paid, the kind and quantity of equip ment used in the school work, the kind of advertising literature issued, and the personal and financial responsi- bi1ity of the prOprietors
 The public will get a good idea of how difficult 1t Is to gain entrance on learning that the Booth & Bayliss Commercial School is the second one in the State of Connecticut to be ad- mitted.
 Students who graduate from this local school will now receive, in ad- dition to the regular diploma hereto fore issued card case diploma bear ing the insignia of the National As socia ton, as shown in the accompany ing illustration. This entitled the graduate to the help of every accred- ited school throughout the United States in locating a position.
