 Bridge AS
 A Menace
Coroner So Finds After In vestigation Drowning of
 Hurley Boy.
PROHIBITS ITS USE
 AS TRAFFIC HIGHWAY

The NOrwalk Park bridge over the Norwalk river is condemned as un- safe by Coroner Phelan today in a finding on the death of Arthur Hur- ley nine-year-Old boy, who was drowned September 1 by falling through a hole in the planking.
 "A personal examination of the bridge and knowledge of it's danger ous use by the public" says the cor oner makes it immediately impera- tive that steps be taken by the public or the private owner to repair re- move it, or prohibit it's use by the erection of a substantial fence"
 The Hurley boy had gone on the bridge with another youngster and they were endeavoring to push a dog into the river when the Hurley boy fell into the water. The bridge was built many years ago as part of a pri- vate project which failed. The struc- ture has been in a defective condition in recent years but persons living in the vicinity have used the footpath as a short cut to and from work.

Omaha, Neb., Sept.

 The proposed reservation providing for unconditional withdrawal from membership, said the President meant that its sponsors wanted to "sit near the door with their hands on the knob" and if they saw anything they didn't like to "scuttIe and run" The league proviso that international ob- legations must be fulfilled before withdrawal would never restrain the United States. he said. because this nation always would live up to it's provisions.

STRIP
 BRIDGEPORT OF REPRESENTATION
Change in Bylaws Also Taken to Mean the End
 of King As Boss.

The opinion prevails in political circles of the city today, that the Sat urday meeting of the Fairfield County Republican association spelled death for the King forces in the county and particularly in Bridgeport. The real effect of the change of bylaws voted by the meeting will be to so strip Bridgeport of representation in the organization that the control will go to @ combination of other interests in the county.
 While the meeting was apparently harmonious 1t was evident that the Boraback forces were in control and the King packers were conspicuous by their absence. King himself was de- tained in New York, 1t was said, but the claim is made he anticipated the

The success of the recently adopted plan of having Public Defender R. c.

New York, Sept, S-Pershing is home again! Standing on bridge of the huge Leviathan, itself symbolic of victory over Germany, the commander of the greatest host ever gathered under the Stars and Stripes came slowly up the bay today, world famed and hailed as a conquering hero should be.
 Twenty-seven months ago he slipped secretly out of the harbor on his way to France to prepare the way for the hosts that were to follow. Then he was only a major general He came back today with four stars on his shoulders---the fourth man since Washington to wear them under the Amreican flag.
 The welcome given him would have quickened the pulse of the hero of a Roman triumph. Fresh from the cap itals of allied Europe where hOnors had been heaped upon him. it re- mained for New York to show the first American to lead an army across the Atlantic that home, sweet home" has a meaning deeper than Hail to the chief"
 No foreign throats could voice the cheers, no alien hearts could pulse the greeting that was Pershing's here today. There was hint of tears in the welcome, for those who gave it knew that not even the plaudits of a grateful people could banish from the sad faced soldiers mind the memory of his own lifes tragedy.
