GREATNESS THRUST UPON HIN
County Judge Finger Declined Two
Honor Last Week,

County Judge H. w. Finger belongs
to that class Of people who Shakes
peare said had greatness thrust upon
them. Early last week he was mott
fed from Little Rock that he had been
appointed county chairman of the
Roosevelt Memorial drive, and he had
just disposed of that by declination,
when Governor Brough sent him a
commission as county chairman for
the Arkansas Centennial Celebration.
This, too, he declined, informing the
Governor that his duties as county
judge and county road commissioner,
together with the added duty of con-
sulting with the engineers and COM
missioners on road improvement dis
trict No. 1, fully took up his time.

GRADE. 3 MILK
 TO BE ADVANCED IN NEW YORK
Distributor Predicts Butter and Cheese Now at
 Top Price

New York. Nov. 2s-Grade "B" milk will be advanced in price from 174 to IS cents quart beginning Dec. 1 by the Sheffield Farms Co.,, one of the largest distributors in the city, D. s. Horton, secretary of the con- cern, announced today.
 The increase Is made necessary, he said, by an advance to farmers effect i've the same date. Farmers, he added, will receive A of 1 cent a quart more than they received during November. The December price to farmers, MT. Horton explained, is based on the av- craze daily quotations for butter and cheese published by the New York Produce Exchange for the month ending November 20.
 MT. Horton predicted that butter and cheese had reached the maxi mum prices for the winter and that if market conditions followed the course of former years the prices of butter, cheese and milk would soon be re- duced.

Gave Blood To Woman
 He Shot
Most Peculiar Case in Annals of Crime In
 Capital City. OPERATION MAY NOT SAVE LIFE

Washington, Nov. 2s-Mrs. Flor ence Robinson, comedy young marron, lying near death in a hospital, and Grover Gordon. little more than a youth, who yesterday shot the wom- by giving his blood for transmission to her veins, today were the princt- pals in one of the most remarkable crime incidents in Washington police history.
 Following a jealous quarrel recent ly, Gordon yesterday went to the home of the young woman, who some time ago had separated from her husband, to bid her final goodbye, as he expected to leave that day for his old home in Wheeling, West Virginia. As she stood in his embrace Gordon fired a revolver bullet through her body.
 After his arrest last night Gordon was told that Mrs. Robinson would die unless some one speedily volun- teered to submit to blood transfusion. He eagerly offered himself, and re- quested- only that, if the ptient still were conscious, she be told of his action.
 Physicians today were uncertain as to whether the operation would save Mrs. Robinson's life. In the mean time, the police were wondering what the effect would be if the woman whom Gordon had tried to kill should be saved from death through his own sacrifice of, blood.

63 Radicals Give Up
 Strike
Hunger Protest of Ellis Island Soviet Was
 Broken Today. TWO WOMEN IN
 IRRECONCILABLES

New York, Nov. 29-The hunger strike of the Ellis Island Soviet was broken today. All but five of the 6S radicals who had refused to eat since last Monday evening, eagerly answer ed the call to the dining room for breakfast.
 After five day fast they were ravenous and were first in the immi- grants dining hall. They devoured prunes, mush, bread, sub-butter and coffee and asked for more. Second helping were refused them, however, not only because one was considered adequate, but because the radicals might have made themselves i'll by eating too much
 The trreeoncilfab1es who continue q the hunger strike in an effort to have removed an iron barrier separating them from visitors included Ethel Bernstein and Dora Lipkin, who were arrested in a raid on a New York Russian headquarters. They were the only women on hunger strike
 The silence strike Of the 6s also has collapsed. Word that the de- tment Of justice was providing the island with eight husky guards tc force them to attend deportation hearings before immigration inspec- tors, was brought to the radicals by their counsel. The guards had not arrived today, but the inspectors found no difficulty in getting radicals to go from the detention room to the hearing room once they had beer identified.

HEART TROUBLE CAUSES CLENN'S
 SUDDEN DEATH H
Well Known Retired Police man Attended Parrott
 Funeral Yesterday.

Russell Glen, Civil War veteran, and one of the most prominent citi- zens of Bridgeport, died suddenly this morning at his home, S35 Fairview avenue, sas a result of heart disease. He appeared quite well yesterday and even attended the funeral of his old friend, Henry R. PTsrrott. Tfais morn ing, however. he complained of ill- ness, and died before medical aid could reach him.
 A member of many fraternal or ganizations. in the city, a retired member of the Bridgeport Police force and a sergeant of the Civil War, MT. Glenn had numerous friends in this city who will be shocked to hear of his demise.
 MT. Glenn was one of the North ern heroes ip the Civil War, having participated ze nearly 4 engagements. He enlisted the 14th Connecticut Infantry, on June 19, 1862, at the age of 16 as a private, but when he was discharged in June, 1885, he had the rank of sergeant. He was wounded four times and was highly thought of as soldier by all his associates and comrades.

20 OUT OF 67 CLUBS SEEKING
 FOR LICENSES
300 Out of 329 Who Had Lii. censes Last Year Wish
 to Renew

Renewals of liquor licenses will be issued on Monday to local dealers and when the county commissioners closed their offices today they announced that 300 of the 32s persons who held licenses during the last license year have applied for renewals. In former years it was considered quite a dis tinction. to get the first license and many dealers arrived at the commits sioners' offices early in the morning and waited hours in order to be at the head of the line. It is not believed there will be such a rush this year.
 Only 20 of the 67 local clubs which held licenses last. year have applied for renewals. As the Broolzlawn Country club is located in Fairfield it secured a renewal before the Bridge port organizations. Most of the prom snent organizations, including the AL gonquin, Bridgeport, and EEzs' clubs, have filed applications but at noon today the Seaside club had not ap- piled

POLICEMEN RAID HOUSE LOOKING
 FOR GAMBLERS
Judge Inquiries Into War
 Records of the Prisoners

Headed by Sergeant Meyer, a squad
 of policemen descended upon an al-
 leged gambling house at 666 Pembroke
 street at 2:30 o'clock this morning and
 rounded up Nicholas Piscnello, alleged
 proprietor, Joe Biscari, of 124 Willard street, and Joe Sgro, of 737 Pembroke
 street, gamblers, and John Carousg,
 of IA HaHett street, and Joe Ossen-
 ger. of 263 Hamilton street, frequent CTS.
 In the City court this morning the
 men stated that they were playing cards and shooting craps for drinks
 in the Pembroke street place. So- das and coffee were declared to be the "drinks' for which the offenders were .galloping the worries"
 Judge Frank L. Wilder was espe- cially interested in the history or the prisoners and desired to know whether they had served in the army or navy during the great war. Nicholas P1sc- hello, proprietor of the establishment, confessed that he did not shoulder
 arms, and was promptly fined S75 During the hearing of a juvenile case which occurred a short time later,
 Piscnello was convicted of having al- lowed minors in his pool room, and was fined S25 on this charge. In the
 cases of the two alleged gamblers,
 Biscarf was fined $1O, and Sgro $50
 The latter did not serve in the army, and Biscari was c1assed as a friendly alien in the draft. John Carousg, 8 freouenter, paid a fine of $50 and Joe Osseneer also charged with fre- quenting, was released on suspended sentence after he had produced an honorable discharge certificate from the United States army.

 Complaints

Hartford. Conn.,, Nov. 29----The Con- necticut Fair Price Committee has re- ceived complaints from the public that retail grocers in this city and New Haven were charging more than Il cents a pound for granuIated su- gar. The committee investigated and said it found that certain wholesalers and jobbers had charged the retailers more than the fixed price of s.so to 9.75. United States District Attorney Joseph N. Crosby reiterated today that no authority had been given any Connecticut wholesaler to increase the margin of profit on sugar and that such a request from New Haven wholesaler had not been acted upon
 The 14 members Of the fair price committee are now voting on a pro- posal to increase the price and about half have mailed their votes to the chairman. MT. Crosby says he pur- poses to warn wholesalers that the government fixed price standards un- til official notice to the contrary

12 MORE OF SAFETY CARS
 IN 2 WEEKS
Are Already In City-Being Painted at the
 Barns

Within less than two weeks Bridgeport will have twelve more cars of the new safety type recently adopted by the Connecticut Co.,, op- erating on the North and South Main street lines.
 These cars are already in Bridge port at the barns of the Connecticut Co. and are being painted and put in good repair for the use on local lines.
 A few months ago the company brought a number of these cars to Bridgeport and put them on the Oak street line. Owing to their speed and quick work in traffic they have made a hit with the company off ctas and 1t seems to be the plan to gradually increase this service until the old jumbo cars are done away with.
 There is an order for 2s more of these little cars placed and they should be here by the first of the year. It Is believed that these will be used on, the Ash Creek and Strat- ford avenue runs.

 MT. Leinard told a Times represent ative this morning that he intended to see City Attorney William H. Com ley the first of next week and he would place the matter in his hands. If the Conn is inclined to make @ settlement which will replace the wrecked truck and pay the damages and doctors bills of the injured driver they will accept. If he says that suit will be instituted at once and rushed through the courts.
 As matters stand today MT. Leon ard says that the Norman street sta ton is without a hook and ladder truck and this is dangerous and can not continue. Asked what the amount of the suit which would be brought against the Connecticut company amounted to he said 1t could not be determined now as 1t would have to be sufficiently large to cover the cost ia new truck, pay the injured driver for his injuries, pay his doctors and

FRANCE WILL
 GET TEN OF
 GERMAN SUBS
During War She Was Un able to Build As Did
 Other Allies

Paris, Nov. 29-F'rance Is to get 10 of the German submarines, the Su- preme Council decided today in con- tinuing its consideration of the allot- ment of German naval tonnage among the Allies. France is allowed this number of submarines, 1t Is explained because during the war she was un- able to build to the extent of others of the Allies, her plants being devot- ed to the making of munitions for the use of all
 The present understanding Is that the remainder of the submarines will be broken up. Dispatches from Paris yesterday said the Supreme Council also had decided that France would get at least five light cruisers and ten torpedo boats for reasons Identical with those given in the allotment of the submarines. Italy, it was stated was likewise to get similar allotment of the smaller warships.
