E PRICE OF MILK E IS
 R RAISED
Must Now Pay 25 Gents a
 Quart for Milk That Is. . Babies Food
SELECTED MILK
 IS ALSO HIGHER

Another raise in the price of milk, to take effect today, was announced by the Borden Farm Products Co. of this city whereby consumers will pay 25 cents a quart for grade A cer- tiffed milk and 20 cents quart for grade A selected milk.
 As far as could be learned the other milk dealers of the city had made no plans to raise their price this month. The Farmers Dairy Company said that they raised their prices a cent on the first of this month but they are still selling one cent below the Borden scale with the single exception of certified milk, which price remains the same.
 In their announcement today the Borden company stated that the in crease was justified by the increased cost of labor and through being fore ed to pay more to farmers for raw milk.
 The management of the Farmers Dairy Company stated that by the first of December their prices would probably equal the Borden company. They stated that an increase in the price of milk at this time of the year was necessary as farmers were oblig- ed to get more due to feeding their cows in the barns during the winter months. It is their contention that the price will drop again with the ad- vent of warm weather.

SWEDES SECURE COLLECTION OF
 CHINESE WORKS

Stockholm, Nov. 7-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-The unique collection of Chinese works of art made by the late Ii Hung Chang, one-time viceroy of China, which for years collectors tried vainly to acquire, has finally been bought by a Swedish syndicate and a valuable part of it has been given to the National Museum here by the purchasers. German mu- seums were negotiating for the col lection when the war put an end to their plans. The purchase price is understood to have been more than million krone (nom:nally about $780, 000) but the intrinsic value of the collection is incalculabIe.
 Ii Hung Chang died in 1901. He had a collection of works of art larg- CT than anything of it's kind in the Empire. It included numerous old paintings, bronzes of great worth and ancient ceramics. The bronzes date from a time before Christ and the paintings were done from the tenth to the twelfth centuries.
 The collection is in Shanghai where it has been packed and stored

MORROW GOES INTO OFFICE BY
 BIG MAJORITY
Largest Plurality Ever Re. ceived By Republican
 Candidate

Louisville, Ky, Nov 7-(By the Associated Press)-On the face of unofficial returns from all but one of the 12O counties of the state, Ed win P. Morrow, Republican, swept himself into the office of governor of Kentucky by a majority of 9,994 votes over Governor James D. Black, Democrat, in Tuesdays election. This is the largest plurality a Republican candidate ever received in this state, according to Republican state head quarters. which claims that Morrow s majority will exceed 10000.
 Interest today, however, did no- center so much upon the gubernator- iaI race as upon the state wide pro- hibition amendment.
 Returns came in slowly on this proposal Only 40 counties out of the 12O had been heard f om early today, these showing a majority against the amendment.
 An interesting feature of the gu- bernatoria1 elect'.n was a statement of Gov. Black | which he blamed the liquor intere,ts, pro-Germans, for his failure to remove certain appointees of former Governor Stanley and Presi- dent V iIson for his defeat, which he has conceded.
 As regards the President, he said nat whether the action of MT. Wilson in writing his coal strike letter was proper or improper, 1t hurt his can didacy in that it caused the striking Kentucky coal miners to go Repub- Ecan.'

SHOTS FIRED BY v0SS CAUSE OF
 HAASE'S DEATH
President of Independent Socialist Party Injured
 October 8

Berlin, Nov. Hugo Haase, presI- dent of the Independent Socialist par ty, died this morning from wounds received October s, when he was shot three times when entering the Reich stag building.
 Hugo Haas, leader of the indepen- dent socialist party of Germany, had his right leg amputated October 27. The operation was necessitated by the condition of the bone which had been smashed.
 The assailant of Haase, an Aus trian named Johaan Voss, fired three shots, wounding him in the thigh. forearm and abdomen. Repeated operations were performed, cuIminat- ing in the amputa ton October 27 Of his right leg, the bone of which had been smashed by the bullet
 Noss, whom he was prosecuting on a charge of eXtortion, was said to have acted upon personal motives, although there was a natural tend ency to seek a political background for the deed, since Haase was brought to deliver sensational speech charging the government with en- couraging the retention of German troops in the Baltic and with foster ing attacks upon radicals by murder bureaus
 Herr Haase was 56 years old.

.yITNEY MEN TO
 START CAMPAIGN
 AGAINST TROLLEY
Many Applications Made For Transfers to Buses
 From Touring Cars.

With insurance companies now willing and anxious to furnish bonds, local jitney men have apparently de- 'cided to open a real campaign against the trolleys in this city. Fifteen ap- plications for transfers from touring cars to buses have been received at the Motor Vehicle department office within the past week, and many in quiries have been received from pee pie who intend to enter the jitney business after the first of January.
 For some time after the passage of the law which required jitney owners tof urnish bonds for their car, insur- ance companies were not oyer-anx- ious to supply the necessary funds. Lately, however, the bonding con cerns have adopted a new policy, and local jitneurs report that they have little trouble in securing bonds. The installation of the zone fare system on the trolley lines in this section is probably the underlying cause for the increased activity on the part of the jitneys.
 So far there have been only eight jitney licenses taken out since July l, feet, but it is predicted that there will be a great rush for licenses aftet January l. The increase in jitneys of larger seating capacity, however is taken as an indication that the jit- ney men are figuring on carrying larger crowds from now on.

 Chicago, Nov. 7-CurtaiI- ment of passenger train ser vice, discOntinuance of bunk ering of foreign owned vessels at American ports, restrictions in some places of the use of public utilities, and appeals for coal from various cities as the strike of approximately 425,- 900 bituminOuS coal miners to- day rounded out it's first week, gave the nation further indica- tions of the distress in store should there be a protracted suspension of mining opera tiOnS.
 Other disarrangemen of the country's routine were expected to- day, with little change in the general conditions surrounding the strike itself.
 Government agencies still remain ed hopeful that developments tomor- row at Indianapolis, when the motion filed by attorneys for the United Mine Workers of America asking dissoIu- ton of the restraining order issued last week by Judge Anderson will be argued might point the way to an early ending of the strike.
 To the states already reported suf- feriDS from q coal Sh Nebraska, Alabama and Iowa today was added Oklahoma. Follow the first law of nature, which is self preservation and take any coal you can get your hands on," was the re- ply of Governor Robertson of Okla hmoma to one county's appeal for aid.
 While it is officially announced by the director general of railroads that no general curtailznent of train service was contemplated, 6 $ trains had been annulled in the central west. Re gional directors had orders to eIimin- ate service where absolutely necessary in the public interest.
 Operation of some of the coal mines in Okla hOn1a, plans for which it was expected would be completed yester- day, will be started as soon as every thing is in readiness, 1t was announc- ed.

TROLLEY DELAYS
 CAUSE PUBLIC ID COMPLAIN LOUDL.Y Y
Claim Conductors Cannot Figure Out Amounts Due
 Quickly Enough

The siowness of the trolleys is the principar complaint heard today of the Connecticut company zone sys- tenn. While many object 10 the rates and have taken to riding on the jit- neys those who still uf the trolley and enjoy the six cent, fare claim that it now takes double tie time to travel the same distance which they used to under the old system.
 They point out that this is the fault of the conductors who are not able tc q;.ic!iiy- tabulate the fares from the zone checks given out by the motor men and when a crowd is waiting to leave the cars there is considerable delay and confusion in settling the fare rate.
 Traffic policemen in the city say that at times the delay in crowds leaving the cars, especially at the crowded hours of the day. causes long lines of traffic to be blocked for some time.

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 7-Pres- ent-day styles of clothes worn by church women were censored yester- day at the national training confer ence of the Interchurch World Move ment of North America.
 ''The indecent dress of some women in our churches makes it tremend- ously hard for a young man to keep his thoughts clean and pure" declar- ed the Rev. J. F. Crowther of Seattle. "In public these days you can scarcely tell the difference be- tween a street woman and a church woman"
 What the relation of the church toward present day industrial and so- cial problems should be was one of the features of today's session of the school for Protestant clergy men, and laymen which the inter- church world movement is conducting here. The t'students'' numbering more than a hundred representing a dozen or more of the large evangen- cal denominations associated in the interchurch organization, will go from here as the faculty of . ma tional Christian extension univer- sity'' to be conducted in every state next month. Its purpose is to ex- plain the interchurch movement.

Plttsburgh, Pa, Nov. 7-CBy the Associated Press) today at- tempted to relieve congestion on the main and branch lines entering Pitts burgh by expediting the distribution of hundreds of cars of coal to those industries indicated by the govern ment Not only filled cars are re sponsible for the congestion but emp ty cars are being shunted on to mine sidings as rapidly as possible in some parts of the Pittsburgh district, ac- cording to reports received here.
 Wagon and truck mines are said to be unusually active, also.
 Conflicting reports continue to come from both the headquarters of the miners union and the operators.
 The coal operators declare that union miners are returning to work with surprising regularity and that two union mines on the Panhandle railroad worked so per cent of ca pacity yesterday. These mines were said to be shipping out at the rate of 40 to 50 cars a day.
 Officials of district No. 3, United Mine Workers of America, however, said that such was not the case in re- gard to union men returning to work. They declared that not single union miner has gone back and reiterated that non-union men were joining the strikers ranks.
 The domestic coal supply showed such a marked improvement today that all apprehension of a shortage has been relieved. River stages continue high and are said to be in
 
 change in the domestic supply sys- tenn.

Chicago, Nov. At least six bill lion dollars of new capital must be invested in railroad facilities within the next three years if the roads are to become able satisfactorily to han dle the country's commerce, Samuel o. Dunn, editor of the Railway Age, estimated in an address today.
 The increase in investment sinca 1915, MT. Dunn said, has been less than S1,900. 100000, while if the per centage had been as large in propor- ton to the growth of traffic as it was during the preceding ten year period, it should have been S5.0OO,- 900, ,000- Since 1915 freight traffic in- creased 57 per cent. and passenger traffic 36 per cent, he said, adding that the percentage increase in each variety of equipment during that time was } per cent. and none.
 The railways during the next three freight cars, 20, 0GO locomotives and 10000 passenger cars, he said, to make up the existing deficiency of equip ment to replace that which should be retired and to provide for handling additional business.
 That number of locomotives and cars at present prices would cost ap- proximately s, 300. GOO O0O. to say noth- ing of what must he spent for new tracks, second and third tracks. yards sidings, shops and so on," continued Mr. Dunn.

WORDEN HEARING
 THIS AFTERNOON

Having no connection with the case except as possibI witness, Ralph Greenleaf, champion billiard player, who was arrested in this city last night by State Policeman Frank Ve- relIi, for complicity in the Binkowitz murder mystery, was released this morning by Coroner Eli Mix, of New Haven, after a short hearing.
 George WOrden, of New York city, Grsenleaf's manager, was also ar rested here last night. but will prob- ably be released after a hearing in New Haven this afternoon.
 The arrest of both men was made in a local billiard parlor about Il o'clock last night, and occurred be- fore a large crowd of spectators who had just witnessed a contest between Greenleaf and a Bridgeport billiard ist. The two men were lodged in the local police station over night, and were taken to New Haven at g o'clock this morning by Sergeant Frank verelIi, of the state police.
 Bridgeport police deny that they have any information on this latest move in the murder mystery, but it is thought that Greenleaf and Gordon were suspected of knowing something about the s178.O0O worth of Liberty bonds which disappeared from New York city with Binkowitz on August 18th.
 The mystery which has surrounded the identity of ''One-Eyed Billy Smith, who was arrested in Chicago some time ago in connection with the murder was cleared up today when 1t was learned that Smith is none other than William Burwe1, of Shelton. Burweu is also known as Billy Ba- ker, and is said to be the manager of Frank Taberski, worlds champion pocket billiardist. BurWen was ar rested some time ago in Bridgeport for shop-hfting.
