D0RKIN CLAIMS DIDN'T SEE CAR
 BEFORE SMASH

That he did not sec the Ford car until just before 1t crashed into his machine at Arctic and Hallett streets was the testimony of Louis 1T. Dorkin of this city before Deputy Coroner IL c. Stevenson this morning when Dor kin was called to explain how his 20 year-old chum. Bernard Amsel was killed last Wedr esday.
 Dorkin said he and Amsel had been riding together and he was driving Amsel home when the fatality hap of from 15 to 20 miles an hour and was proceeding north on Hallett street when it collided with the Ford driven by Harry Buckner of this city.
 Dorkin said he could not say exact ly how fast Luckner was driving, but he thought Luckner was proceeding at higher speed than the touring car which Dorkin was operating.
 James V. Fitzpatrick of 139 Caro- limo street, a boy who lives near the scene of the accident, testified that he saw the collision. He did not notice the cars until they collided so he could not tell how fast they were going. He testified that the force of the collision turned Dorl<in's car completely around
 Amsel was apparently unhurt at the time of the accident but died two hours later from a fractured skull. The deputy coroner reserved his ind ing.

Uncertain What Country Will Receive Mandate of

U. S. SUPPORTING
 BULGARIA'S CLAIM

Paris. Thursday. Aug. 14 (By A. P)-Thc Supreme Council of the peace conference is studying various plans suggested for n division of Thrace in such n manner as to be ac- ceptable to Greece and Bulgaria as well as England and France, which are vitally interested in the disposi- ton to be made of European Turkey.
 Uncertainty nS to what country will receive the mandate of Constantino- pie and surrounding territory co.upli- cates the situation almost hopolcssly, as interested powers are all striving to protect their own interests. regard less of who gets Constantinople.
 Italy and Greece have apparently reached an understanding SO that the United States stands virtually alone in supporting BulEaria's claim for an outlet to the Aegan Sea !n order to avoid another Balkan war.
 A dozen different plans for the di- viding and disposiuE of Thracc have been considered siuring the past week but the one most likely to be accepted as q compromise although opposed by Greece. contcmplatcs an internation- olized zone extending from the Bull garian border to pedca xach on the Aegean Sea Western T'lGrace would go to Greece and she would also be given q strip eastward from Dcdca- gach extending from the outlet to the Asean Sea to the Black Sea, includ- ing the port of Atid!I. The territory Immediately about Constantinopla would go to the country receiving tho mandate there. This international izcd zone would be under the admin istration of the League of Nations.
 This plan violates the rights of ma torities and separates districts to be given to Greece but it Is apparently impossible to reach an agreement on any plan which would make this re- zion less of a crazy quilt. The plan gives Adriauoplc to Greece which is regarded as unsatisfactory as that city is considered suCrCt to the Moham- medans. There Is a great difference of opinion regarding tho exact size of the proposed nationalized zone and new suggestions are offered at every meeting of ;he council.

 The object of the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce is to promote the commercial and industrial inter cs:s of the community
 This is accomplished through the community agreeing upon a method through which these interests may be advanced.
 ''The statement made by the Pres ident of the Columbia Graphophone Company that if the striking workers have not returned to their posts by a certain time that the factory will be moved from Bridgeport gives the community direct interest in a par ticular industry
 What effect would such action have upon this community?

With Rose and Moon. two of the most artistic vaudeville dancers. head lining. the vaudeville bill. and Henry F. Walthau in a most interesting pie turo, full of action from start to fin ish, the bill at Polls theatre was en- f0ycd by all yesterday Rose and Moon, in their character dancing. in trGduCed a stage setting and costumes entirely up to the high class of their dancing. Art L. Beiner a the piano. played all Of their numbers well. and did some fine work himself alone. while the dancers were making their changes.
 Mayo and Irwin, two clever Hebrew comedians, were a riot They had the audiences in an uproar from start to finish with their wit and humor
 Holmes and La We're have an orig inaI sllit of married couple attend ing the theatre The usual line of conversation takes place between the two until the scene shifts and they are supposed to be actors. They were a decided hit.
 Walter Weems, since his last visit to Bridgeport, has not lost any Of his originality and personality. NIr Weems is a finished comedian. and will he appreciated wherever he goes By the way, his playing of the bari tone horn at the finish of his acC was distinctly artistic also.
 Laura and Billy Dwyer open the show with dancing act that would be a credit at any spot on the bill Their costumes were also out of the ordinary.
 Henry B. walthau in "The Boom erang," we believe does the best work he has ever done on the screen. His portrayal of the character of Gay Gray, the spoiled son of a millionaire food proiteer, who finally by work ing from the very bottom to the ton, prOseCutes as district attorney, the very com bination which his father helped organize, was simply wonder full
 The bill is well worth seeing for all who enjoy either good vaudeville or good pictures, or both. The Pathe News completes a very interesting program, showing the American cav airy in Me-.ico, and the return of the Second Division, regular army from France.
