 Intimate views of the character, disposition and business methods of Michael D. Jordan, real estate dealer, who died some days ago, were given by Miss Hattie Murray of 92 Prospect street, stenographer and private secretary in the firm of Miller and Jordan. By the will of MT. Jordan, Miss Murray will receive one-fourth of the approximate estate of $250,000 left by the deceased.
 He was an especially good friend and adviser to me-" said Miss Mur- ray. Tt was in his office that got my first position winch I came to Bridgeport from Springfield, Mass, 8 years ago. At that time MT. Jor- dan was in business alone and when the firm of Miller and Jordan was formed. l stayed just the same. have really, grown right up with the business. All the clerical and office work has been left in my hands. MT. Jordan would go away for two months each winter and would know that his business was being taken care of in the proper way. f't
 He carried on his business as probably no other real estate dealer in thus city does. Since l have been in his employ I have never known M-. Jordan to, order an account closed off his books because the per son who was buying the property was

If, sometimes, it was impossible for Q man to keep, up his payments, all he would have to do was to come to MT Jordan and explain just why the delay was caused and everything would be all right.

 would rasthet, miss all the happin ess. in life than to miss being present at. muster: On the eventfula evening. there was a full quota of 68 men in every company but G, ,$2' and there there. was only 67 because the last mercber, Michael Jordan was abroad. Poll call started and went through the mpanies and was just about to come to c when MT. Jordan appeared at the door of the Waterbury ar rnory, in, full uniform and promptly took his place in line, thus saving the honor of the company.
 t"The following is a humorous ex- ample of the mans initiative and in being original. The Waterbury guar.. used to give weekly dances at the armory and Michael Jordan would always take his place at the door to assist in the capacity of ticket taker. At that time. people were a little shy at paying much money for entertain ment and enjoyment and so various schemes. of allurement were thought out. One of the cleverest stunts was to have a young man purchase one ticket for two young 1adiesrand him7 self. After. the first few dances fhe would get g, door check, and go out. At the outer dDor he would meet and give the check to a fourth member of the party.r The latter would go in and dance and then also get a door check go out and give tito the first young man. .-.-
 Mir Jordan ever observing. notc- ed that the 'exchequer after the dances had not reached the point it should and So thought out a system whereby no more door checks would be issued but if young man wished to leave the room he would have to have ms
 wrist marked with a blue, red or pur- ple inked stamp. Upon retuI ming If a gentleman could not show the mark he would be forced to purchase another ticket before being allowed | to enter.
 At present plan to remain on at my business just the same.4~.Of course one can never tell what will harper and because the sh ock came so sud denly and unexpectedly wse have -noI | had time to, collect our thoughts and make serious plans. At; any rate,
 present business must be cleared up

pINNING HOPE TO JOHNSON

snxS.,al Dispatch From Every Evening
Washington Correspondent
Washington, April 30.-Chaos reign1s
in the Republican ranks. The stand
patters- are on the run and the so-called
Progressives are equally alarmed. 1t IS
generally conceded that the men who have
already announced themselves as candi-
dates Tor the Presidency are campaigning
in vain. None can be nominated ana III
nominated, Prominent Republicans say
nobody SO far in the race can be elected.
''Oh, for real big, broad, magnetic
man" said Senator France of Maryland
bu, so far he has not put IN an appear
ance."
The leaders assert that if Wood IS
nominated he can't carry Ohio and Will
be hoplessly beaten .in California, now
the two pivotal States. They call atten-
tion TO the fact that the fight between the
Mood and Harding forcs has been so
bitter. so rancorous SO full OF venom that
IL will be impossible to effect reconcilia-
ton before November.
HARDING MEN CHARGE TRIcKERY.
Harding managers have been accused
by the Wood men of resortlng to the vllest
al poIitical tactics in order to deprive
the senator from Ohio of the Endorsement
of his own State To substantiate their
charge they are exposing letter that was
addressed TO all farmers. The letter con-
tains clipping from the Congressional
Record in which Senator Harding IS
ouoted as saving that a dollar bushel
is enough for wheat.
The speech was delivered in the spring
of 1917. Senator Harding did say that IN
normal times the farmers of OHIO could
raise wheat profitably at a dollar bushel
but sentence quotedis cleverly taken out
Of its setting and is completely divorced
from it's contest. II is so manipulated as to
make IL appear that Senator Harding
expects the farmers in these days o be sat
rsfed with less than half the price fixed
Nv the government for the 1919 crop.
This is only one of n number OF oftenses
agninst decent standards of political
campaigning the Harding managers say
thc Mood people have been guilty of in
Ohio Representative Darrow of Pennsyl
wanna denounced such methods rs des-
picablc in the extreme. MIR. Darrow is an

the Republican party III an exceedingly
precarious position
JOHNSON DISTURBED. BUT FAVORED.
Some members of Congress, while
bitterly resenting the effort OF Hiram
Johnson to have himself elected president
of the United States make the open con-
fession that the johnson game is the only
one that will assure success TO the party
They say the Californian Is making great
