South Norwalx, Conn.,. Aug. 1.-The police no longer finger in the streets, the stray dog or cat seems apprehen- sive while midnight oil is being burned by the legal minds of the city who are grapplins with the weighty subject of just what a new city ordinance means by the word vehicle"
 Attorney William A. Griffin, Jr., at tackled the validity of the new ordi- nance in court this morning and a special session of the court will be held next Monday to further consider the matter.
 The mystery of the whole matter which has set Norwalk a-thinldng as she never thought before, is that the new Crdina nee prohibits, between cer- tain hours, the parking of vehicles" within certain areas.
 No distinction is made whether the vehicles is for transportation, is a per- sons feet, a baby carriage, a horse and wagon, an automobile or a trolley car, hence the doubt in the minds of all, to whether they are liable to arrest if they stop for minute or two,

 A dog getting too close came near losing a foreleg when the animal in his dying agony made a snap and just nipped the dogs paw.

MARKET DROPS WITH
 STERLING EXCHANGE

New York, Aug. 4-Today's stock market opened in a confused fashion, with the majority of important shares showing a decided downward tendency. A further drop in sterl- ing exchange of six cents on the un- favorable foreign news induced liqui- teracting supporting orders and the favorable effect produced by yes terday's late relaxation in call money rates. Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin, the steels, Central Leather, U. S. Rub Der, Corn Products, Great Northern preferred, Chesapeake and Ohio and New Haven were depressed one to two points.
 Readjustment of the speculative po- sition caused general rally before

 Reading and various low priced shares scored advances of 1 to ? 1-2 points. Industrials responded to viz orous short coverings.

P0Nzl SAYS HE
 WILL ORGANIZE BIG CORPORATION

Boston, Aug. 4.-With his smiling window that depleted his treasury at least $5Oo.oO0 more yesterday Charles Ponzi outlined to newspaper men vast plans for the future. They make his current project, now under investiga- ton by a score of Federal and state officials, look like a medium for earn ing pin money. A chain of banks, group of steamship lines and a world wide import and export firm, all d1- rected by Ponzi, were forecast in mild, conversational tone. Initial cap- italization, Ponzi said, will be for s100.- COG, 900 and that will be increased rap idly to s2oo .ooo, 900. He hinted at tre- mendous cooperative profits.
 The day for the crowd around Pom zi's office was enhvened by the dis tribution of thousands of printed cir culars, purporting to be signed by former member of the Massachusetts Legislature, now a selectman and member of the Board of Assessors of a nearby town.

BICYCLES ARE NOW IN GREAT DEMAND

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 4-The bicycle industry has progressed more rapidly in the past year than any other industry in the United States. This striking proof of the revival of bicycling was brought out at the opening session of the convention of the cycle trades of America here to- day. The bicycle was emphasized as the cheap pest transportation known to man. It was stated unofhcially that 650,000 bicycles have been manufac- tured in the United States during the. last year. An appropriation of s300,-' 900 was voted for the advertising campaign in the interests of the bicy- cle industry in general during the coming year.
 A program of standardization of bicycles, parts and accessories wat adopted. By reducing production wastes this will conserve materials and make possible the manufacture of a greater number of bicycles. The demand for wheels is already taxing manufacturers to the limit.
 It was announced that the next bicycle and motorcycle show will br held at the coliseum in Chicago dur ing the week of November s. A convention of cycle trades of America and of the national Cycle Dealers association will be held at the same time.

CANNOT MULCH
 SUMMER FOLK

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 4-Merchants of Connecticut shore resorts will no longer be permitted to charge mem bers of the various summer colonies higher prices than are paid by per manent residents of these places, it was announced today by William F. Whitmore, fair price commissioner for Connecticut. The practice is con sidered discriminatory and is in vio- lation of the provisions of the Lever act, designed to prevent unreasonable prices on the sale of neceSsaries of life.
 Complaints had been made to Com missioner Whitmore of the practice of some merchants in Connecticut towns or villages where the bulk of the sumner trading is done that the merchants had been in the habit of charging a fair profit to residents and when the summer season was at it's height prices were charged that pro- vided profits that were manifestly unfair if not absolutely chased as profiteerinG.
 Commissioner Whitmore today com municated with one of the merchants at a popular summer resort, remind ing him that it had been brought to his attention that the merchant in question is maintaining double sys- tenn of prices. The merchant was advised that such practice is in vio- lation of the Lever act.
 It is reported that this system has been in vogue at the various summer ing places for many years, the mer- chant claiming the necessity of mak' ing sufficient profits on the summer trade to last through the lear months of the winter.

FRANCES PUBLIC
 DEBT ENORMOUS

Paris, Aug. 4-France spent just about 100000, 100000 francs on the war and now owes 233,72S,000,000 of which 34,2e6.000, is foreign, ac- cording to official figures quoted by Senator Doumer in his report on the 1920 budget. If she were obliged to pay her exterior debt at the present rate of exchange it would amount to 67,000. 100000 francs.
 The actual figures of the public debt are: Interior loans Gncluding 30 biilions) pre-war debt, 121, 949 III 1, 50 francs; foreign loans, 34,296, 102 900 francs; advanced by Bank France, 26, 020, 00O,0 francs; floating debt. 51, 464, ,251, 300; total, 233. .72s. .464, $50,
 Against this total are amounts due France from Allied countries for ad- vances during the war aggregating 3,S80. .00O,000 francs, leaving the net balance against her 230,000,00O,OOO in round figures.
 The way expenditures grew during the war and the ratio in which they have decreased since 1918 are shown by the following:
 1914 Give months. 6.5s9, ASA, ,249 francs; 1915, 22,S04, ,4S6,525 francs; 1916, 32,941,141.169 francs; 1917 Al ,679, 9,599,629 francs; 1918, 54,5S7,- 105,100 francs; 1919, 49,O29,399.9 .951 francs; 1920 (seven months) 25,714,- 366,203.
 Doumer calculates that on a peace basis allowing for natural progress sion the expenditures would have averaged about 5,500,0 900, 900 yearly.

New Haven. Aug. +Bathing on the east shore took slump yesterday when a big shark, of the regulation man-eating variety, was caught, after a desperate battle by three men and landed at Short Beach.
 Shortly before o'clock yesterday morning Stedman Jones, a shore resi- dent at Short Beach, noticed a thrash ing of the waters in the big bed of sea weed that lines the outer bar at the bathing beach. In company with Robert Altmansberger and the latter's brother Albert, he made for the spot and discovered a six-foot shark strug- gling to free itself from the entang- ling grass and make for deep water.
 The Altmansbergers hastened ashore and grabbed clam hooks and Jones made for, his shotgun.
 The tide was low and the water only waist deep where the shark ap- peared and the three attackers plung- ed in. The Altmansb ergers were the first to the shark and both began hacking away with their clam hooks. The shark made frantic rushes and

HIRE COUNSEL!
 FOR DEFENCE OF HUSBAND SLAYER

New Haven. Aug. = Attorney l Jacob P. Goodhart consented yester- | day after conference of some length with interested parties to appear as attorney for Mrs. Frank Sokolowsky, who is charged with the murder of her husband in this city June 26, and who was arrested in New York Sun day where she had been hiding since the tragedy.
 It seems that a New York society, representing certain allied foreign peoples, has become interested in the case of Mrs Sokolowsky and is to give her financial support for her de- fense. The society is connected with various churches in New York, one of which is the Polish church, which has already interested members of Polish religious societies in this city who will cooperate with the New York organization in providing Mrs. Sokolowsky with good counsel as can be found in the state.
 Owing to the laws of the state of New York on the subject of extradi- tion, the return to this city of Mrs. Sokolowsky, who threw a quantity l of carbolic acid on her husbands face | while he slept, admittedly with the intention of disfiguring him, but with out murderous intent, will be delayed l for some eight days yet, although she ] is willing to forego extradition rights. ] Coroner Eli Mix, who went to New i York to examine the woman, had not
 returned last night, and consequently | no official statement has been received 1 from him.
 1 While the coroner's official state
 ment will not in all probability con-
 tain more than is sufficient to cover
 the charge against the woman, some | very interesting evidence is likely to be brought out at the trial. The | woman owns up to having thrown l the acid, but with no intention o1

 Was jealousy the only motive What happened to the large sum o } money which Sokolowsky was know , to have had in his possession an, which was not found on his re 3 mains? Why did Mrs. Sokolowsk, make an immediate dash for tn
 Canadian line and no sooner reacl Toronto than she left it again an a returned straight to the danger zon l of Connecticut? Where did Sokolow , sky get the large quantities of none I he always carried, seeing that it . but a few months since he was work !, ing as a laborer? Did Sokolowsk
 double cross the unions by acceptin
 money from the nanufacturers in tn
 Naugatuck valley to plant their pro

 strike? Why did he always tell h.
 friends that he owned shoe sto1 in Brooklyn, which he did not? An !, !, why did he in seven years change h name from his proper name of Fran
 Genutis to Orlohski and then to St kolowsky?
 These are some of the question O which will make the trial an interes U ing one.
