 MAY NOT PAY
 CITY S7O,OOO
Question of Where Funds Gan Be Secured for Share
 Of Bridge Is Opened

Negotiations are now pending be- tween the city and the Connecticut Company in an effort to get settle ment Of the $70,o00 which the com pany owes the city as it's share of the cost of the new tratford avenue bridge. Charles L. Garfield, one of the trustees for the company, de- clined today to discuss the matter. Mayor Wilson said that negotiations were going on and that it was hoped that the city would get money and not take the company's note.
 Recently in New Haven and in Stamford where the company was re- quired to pay a part of the cost of a public work, the officials found themselves without money and ten dered the company's note. This was last done for an item of $6,0O0 in Stamford. Further appropriation may have to be made for the bridge if such is the case in Bridgeport.
 Mayor Wilson said this morning that the entire bridge cost would be within the original appropriation, all though the contractor had lost money on the structure.

Alderman Thomas O'Connor of the Sixth district, will tonight present a resolution of protest to the common council against the operation of the Connecticut Company's zone fare sys- tenn in Bridgeport, at the meeting to- night.
 Mir. O'Connor stated today that while he had not had the time to make a full study of all of the effects of the system, he was convinced that the new arrangement would mean such a radical increase of fares that the city should take a stand against it.
 Mayor Wilson declined to comment on the zone fare system today, say ing that he had not yet cempleted-t- study of what was proposed in the city.

Washington, Oct 20-President wilson's digestive disturbance has s;11bsided almost completely and he was comfortable today after a fairly good night his physicians announced.
 They issued the following bulletin: :
 '"The White House, October 20, 1919, 11:25 A. M:
 ''The Presidents digestive disturb ance has subsided almost completely After a fairly good night he is com fortable this morning.
 While recognizing that even any slight incidental ailment undoubtedly would have a tendency to increase nervousness and thereby to g certain extent retard recovery, in White House circles today there were no in- dications that the slight digestive at tack suffered yesterday by President Wilson was the cause of serious con- cern. In announcing the digestive trouble last night Rear Admiral Grayson, MT. Wilson's personal phy- sictan, said otherwise the Prestdents g condition was unchanged and indi- cated that the patient was more than holding his own.
 It was pointed out in White House circles that digestive ailments are the rule rkher than the exception in cases in which persons suffer from nervous troubles In addition 1t was regarded as natural that in the case of the President that the lack of exercise would contribute to digestive disor- ders

SEE ATTEMPT
 TO BURN ODD
 FELLOWS HALL

What is believed to have been a deliberate attempt on the part of some unknown person or persons to burn the Odd Fellows building in Broad street, Saturday night, was frustrated by Bert Sear1es, of Silver Sands, who extinguished a box of blazing wood and paper which he discovered burning under the stair way on the second floor of the build ing.
 Searles and the janitor of the build ing were on the first floor about 10:30 o'clock Saturday night, and a meeting was being held on the third floor. Searles smelled smoke and in company with the janitor started to investigate.
 When the second floor was reach ed they found a blazing cardboard box pushed in under the stairway leading to the third floor. A fire ex- tinguisher was brought into play, and the flames were soon quenched.
 Aftr the fire had been extinguished, Searles hauled the box out from un- was full of inf1ammable material Part of the stairway, the baseboard and a section of the floor was badly scorched by the blaze, and it was only Searles' quick detection of the flames that prevented a serious fire.
 The entire matter, which is believ- ed to be an attempt at arson, has been placed in the hands of the po- lice and will be thoroughly investi- gated Chief Johnson, of the fire de- partment is also working on the case, and it is expected that the parties re- SDOnsible for the act will be apDre- hended.
