 MOVERS
New York Truckmen Refuse to Load Trucks With Hous e h o 1 d Things Until They Knew That T h e y Would Be Unloaded at Their Destination.

New York, Oct. This was New York's first moving day since the new. rent laws were passed and it promised the greatest happy home and fires1de tangle in the history of the city. DeS- pite the new law. which was designed to save families from eviction, great confusion arose from the fact that eviction proceedings had been com menced in the courts against thou sands of tenants before the rent law was passed.
 There was division of opinions as to whether the tenants thus embroiled in litigation could be put out.
 It was estimated that the number of those desiring to move varied from 50,O00 to 100000. This threw an un- precedented strain upon the moving companies. According to the Van Owners association only about 5000 families could be moved today with the number of vans in operation. It was announced by the association that movers would lot load vans until they were assured that they would be able to unload them at their destination
 Policemen were, put on duty pro- tecting moving vans. There was a record scramble by the heads of households to secure vans at the last minute.
 Arthur J. lilly, chairman of the Mayors Committee on Rent Prohteer- ing, promised relief to all families in their moving trouble.
 The Mayors Committee on Rent Profiteering issued this warning:
 Do not permit interruptions land lords to scare you and frighten you out of your homes. The new rent laws amply protect tenants in the possession of their apartments unless the landlord should prove to a. court that he requires it for his own use or that the tenant is objectionable or that the apartment is to be demolish- ed. But tenants should also bear in mind that the new rent law was not passed to encourage every tenant in New York to refuse to pay rent due on Oct 1 and thus enbarrass 50,000 landlords
 Little Moving Here.
 Despite the fact that October is the official moving day in New York city, where, from latest reports, from fifty to seventy-five thousand families have moved from old to new quar- ters, there has been. comparatively few movings in Bridgeport today. to Attorney William Bur ton, the legal charities inspector for the city, the movings and evictions in this city have been less than ever before. From the reports of the citys leading trucking and moving men the families moving today num- bered AT

The older GiEsberg who is said 70 have been on the running board of the taxi said in court that he had not assault ed Lloyd but that he had just grab bed him around the neck In an at tempt to make Lloyd stop the car.

 PRESIDENT
Travis Will Be President and George $. Hawley
 Vice-President.

Complete reorganization of the executive body of the Bridgeport Gas Light company, including the install lation of George S. Hawley, of the Manufacturers association, as vice president, and the resignation of De- We're H. Warner, as president, was announced this morning. The reor- ganization of the concern will take place on November 1, and MT. flaw ley will resign as secretary and gen eral manager of the Manufacturers association at that time.
 Although resigning as president, which office he has held for a, nun Der of years, MT. Warner will not bring to an end his active participa- ton in the affairs of the company. He will become chairman Of the Board of Directors, and in this posi- tion will continue to exercise his keen business abilities for the interests of the concern.
 Frank M. Travis of Torrington, wh o has been vice president of the gas light company for some time, will as George E. Roberts. the present treas urer, will resign on Nov. 1, and his place will be taken by Ralph J. Nun son, who is now secretary. Robert A. Lewis, head of the office force at the present time, will be secretary.
 George S. Hawley of the Manufac- turerS' association, who will become vice president of the company on Nov. 1. refused to comment at length on the matter this morning. MT. flaw ley, for many years was stenographer of the Superior court He studied law and was admitted to the bar. He then entered the Manufacturers associa- ton as secretary and general mana ger, and has held this position for the past four years.
 In carrying outfits scheme of reor- ganization, the Bridgeport Gas Light company is conforming with similar actions which have lately been taken by large business concerns through out the country. It is deemed impor- tant to have an active member of the firm at the head of the Board of Di- rectors, and in view of this fact, De- Yer H. Warner has re1inquished the position of president for the chair manship of the Board of Directors.
 It was said today that the Man ufacturers' association has made no plans as yet for any one to succeed MT Hawley

I ROLLEY ASKS TEN
 CENT FARE
Hearing Before the Public Utilities Commission In
 Hartford Today.

Hartford, oct 1.-President Lucius S. Storrs,- trustees and other officials of the Connecticut company are ap- bearing before the Public Utilities commission today, for the purpose Of showing reason why the fare rate on all of the company's lines throughout the state should be increased to 19 this plan under consideration Tor some time, and are of the opinion that a flat fare of 10 cents is the only means whereby the financial diff faculties of the corporation can be solved
 The hearing opened at 10:30 o'clock this morning in the Capitol building, and President Storrs was the first to take the stand. He made of the company at the present time, and declared it was such as to make a fare increase imperative.
 Statistician McCreevy, also appear ed before the commission and pre- sented a statement showing the reve- nue of the Connecticut company over a given period of time.
 The third official to appear at this mornings session was Judge c. B. Moves, d member of the Board of general review of the situation, n.4- clared that the 10 cent fare now asked by the company was really equal to only the old fve-cent fare present cOnO1t1OnS.
 It is the purpose of the company, if granted permission to increase it's fares, to put the new rate into effect in about two weeks. Every one of the corporations lines in the state will be effected by the higher scale, and the old five-cent limits will be taken as the basis for the new rate
 Representative of all the towns and cities which will be affected by the increase were in attendance when the hearing opened this morning. and President Storrs was piled with ques- tions during the time he was on the stand Someone asked the president how many people would ride on the trolley cars if the fare was increased to 10 cents. He replied 9S per cent, and his answer was greeted with laughter.
 It was asserted by the witnesses that an increase of 40 per cent was necessary to bring the company's revenues up to the point where ex- penses could be met. This, however, would except the share of the corpor- atiop's paving assessments in cities Figures presented by the various wit nesses showed that the 10 cent fare would increase the company's reve- nues approximately $11,000,0o0.

MAYOR TO IN WADE
 CANADA
With the Ancient and
 Honorables of Boston, a Company Famous For Its Dry Principle, He Will Spend a Week Among the Principal Wet Places of Canada.

Mayor Wilson left Bridgeport to- day to be the guest of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston on their annual foray in search of liquid excitement and culinary curiosities.
 In former years this valiant com pany of hotel and cafe warriors has descended on the white light districts of the large cities of this country but in view of the passage of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and the Volstead Act this company of Ancients and Honor ables decided s that they had routed the enemy in their country and de- cided to make descent on Canada.
 Those familiar with the spirit de corps of this organization believe that the casualties on this trip will be greater than in any of the trips for a number of ears as the Canadians have mustered a large force of Can adian Club to repel the onslaught of the invaders.
 It is believed by those familiar with the martial characteristics of our Mayor that he will be found in the front line trenches on all occasions and anxiety is felt for his safe return.
 The Ancient and Honorable Arti1- lery with their guests will leave Bos- ton tonight and expect to return with much booty next Thursday.
