DENY PETITIONS ON FARE RATE

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 3-The Pub lie Utilities Commission today handed down a finding in the petitions of the city of New London and the City of Hartford for a decrease in trolley fare on the lines in those cities. The petitions in both cases, are denied. The petitions were based on similar grounds and the reasons given for the denial are practically the same in eaach case.
 Reference is made in the decision to the fact that the increase to a. ten cent fare was only recently made and the commission decelares that the time has been insufficient to deter mine the effect upon the revenue of the company. The decision says that the need for a ten cent fare is not disputed in the petitions and that any modification of the decision of the commission authorizing the increase in fare to ten cents would require some new and controlling facts which have not been brought forward in the hearings on the petitions in either case.

SENATOR'S WILL REFUSE PLACES
 IN NEW CABINET
By GEORGE R. HOLMES UnternationaI News Service Staff
 CorreSpondent) .


 Washington, Dec. 3-Out of series of conferences which Harry M. Daugherty, political mentor to Presi- dent-elect Harding, has had with Republican leaders in Washington, it developed today that a, number of Re publican senators have entered into what practically amounts to a "gen- uemens agreement not to enter the Harding cabinet after March 4.
 This move has been taken not be- cause cabinet portfolios were unat- tractive, but because nearly all the powerful and influential Republican members of the Senate have at some time or other been reported as leav- Pennsylvania avenue.
 This was particularly alarming to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, the G. O. P. leader in the Senate, and he, according to reports gathered about him, some of the men most promi- nent1y mentioned and pointed out that the Senate should receive their primary consideration.
 Senator Lodges public statement expressing the hope that Senator New of Indiana would continue in the Senate was the first result of these conferences. Senator New is not only one of Senator Harding's closest political advisers, but also is one of his closest personal friends and one of the few 'original Harding men," It has been conceded that Senator New could have any cabinet position he desired. His name has been mentioned prominently in con- nection with the War Department and Postmaster Generalship post.
 Senator Lodges action has defi- nitely set at rest all rumors that he himself is candidate Possibility. Along with Elihu Root, anj Senator Philander c. Knox of Pennsylvania, Lodge had been prominently men toned as a possible Secretary of

It was ascertained that the bomb had been thrown over fence and had exploded in the yard in >-e rear of the house at S6 Dewey street, directly opposite the Siemon Rubber plant.
 The police who have been investi- eating the matter believe that it was the intention of whoever threw it to get Eugene G. Bifesti, who occupies the second floor of the house and who has been employed at the Sic mon Rubber company for the past three years in the employment de- partment.
 Bifesti refused to go out with the rest of the employees of the company when they went on strike short time ago and he claims that he has been threatened with bodily harm by the strikers on several occasions.
 Last week he complained to the police of the threats and was given a permit to carry a revolver to protect himself in case of attack.
 Last Monday night while escorting his sister who worked in the factory with him home from the shop they were, attacked by two girls, Ricarda these assailants were in the City Court Tuesday morning charged with assault.
 The first floor of the house s6 Dewey street is occupied by Dominick Cerrutti. who is one of the striking employees of the Siemon factory and John DiMarci was sleeping in the room in front of which the explosion took place.
 The police have found parts of the bomb but have not as yet disclosed their conclusions of it's kind or the nature of the explosive.
 . It is thought by the police that the person who threw it did not aim high enough as a part of the fence which was blown down gives evidence of having been struck and it fell into the yard instead of going through the window of Bifesta's apartment.

Bridgeport Business Men Believe That Business De- pression Will Be of Short Duration and Advocate Stimulation of the Market As the Quickest Way to Put Production On An Overtime Basis Again.

Another group of Bridgeport business men today discuss the industrial and business situa- ton, all of whom believe that business depression will be readily cured by a liberal stim- ufation of the market, through an emergency use of the pur- chasing power of the people.
 More of Bridgeport's business men were seen yesterday by the Times representative and asked about busi- ness conditions and prospects. With but very few exceptions they were exceedingly optimistic and all agreed
 that there was no real reason for bad
 times. George w. Fairchi1d, of G. w. Fairchild andCompany, said: 'tWhy, we are looking for an un- usually large Christmas trade. In fact, it has already bugun. Every year in November we have an anniversary sale This year it was 25 per cent larger than it ever was before. And

 last year. We see no reason to be any

 we have a, little advantage in our line over some others. There was
 not the advance in prices that there was in most other lines, and there will not have to be the same amount of price adjustment. There is not the fuctuation in this line. either, that there is in most others, ana no matter what the prices, there is al- ways certain intrinsic value to dia- monds and precious stones and gold and silver.

Burroughs, Shanley and White Involved In Big
 Conspiracy

United States Marshal William R. Palmer is in Bridgeport today, with warrants for James Burroughs, Eu- gene Shanley and Jack White, all of this city, who are alleged to have have been involved in the recent au- tomobi1e theft conspiracy which was uncovered in Detroit, Mich. All three were arrested by ederal agents some time ago, in connection with the plot.
 The issuance of warrants for the three men follows an action in the United States Court in Detroit, where by Burroughs, Shanley and White were charged with violating the Dyer act, and true bills rendered against them. They are alleged to have stolen cars, changed the license num- bers, driven the machines to other the owners. The Bridgeporters will be arraigned before the Detroit court on December 2.
 A warrant was served on White this morning by Marshal Palmer, and similar action will be taken against noon. United States Commissioner Hugh J. Lavery has set bonds al $7,500 for Shanley and Burroughs and s2,500 for White. If proceeding gs against removal are brought, a hear. ing will be held in Lavery's office a

Those WhOBuy l KeepHard Times
 At A Distance
HOW TO KEEP
 INDUSTRY BUSY

The times has given expreS- sion during several days to the opinions of business men, about the prospect for good times and continued employment
 They are a unit in the idea that production is carried on in this country for the benefit of the masses. If the masses do not buy, production stops.
 The advice they give, therefore, that those who can should con- tinue to buy what they need and what they can use. Prices, ap- parently are much lower than they were. Prices will probably sometime be lower than they are.
 Nevertheless it is not wise to wait for the lower prices, because it profits little if goods are cheap and there is no employ ment; no money to buy with.
 The man who has job, is not in the midst of hard times, even though some man may be. who has no employment.
 If people stop buying, other people must stop working. About this tfere cannot be a shadow of doubt
 The present period of partial depression may either turn into a period of deep depression, or it may be quickly overcome. Every thing depends upon what the people do. If they suspend pur- chasing power, they will suspend employment. The rule applies not only to the citizen who buys of the store, but to the merchant who buys of the manufacturer Now is the time for every busi- ness man to order what he needs CT will soon need. There is but one cure for an idle market. Production must be stimulated. The only way to stimulate a mar ket is to buy in it.
 Those who buy, set the wheels of industry going. They are the true philanthropists and the true agents of progress in these times.
 There is only one kind of panic which thrift can cure. This would be the panic due to famine, the panic which comes because there is not enough to eat, to drink, to wear. This country never had that kind of a pa-.ic.
 A depression caused by over production can only be cured by more consumption. This is a rule as certain as the rising of the sun,
