NEW BRITAIN CITIZENS
 PETITION CAR COMPANY
Two Complaints Already Filed; Another Now in
 Circulation.

Two petitions have been urawn by residents of the Stanley street vicin- 1ty and forwarded to. the New Haven office of the Connecticut company asking for better trolley service on North Stanley street. One of the pe- titions was headed by party whose name is withheld by request, the other drawn up by Arthur Beardsley of Francis street, has been sent direct to the New Haven office It is ex- pccted some action will be taken shortly.
 Information was received today that another petition is being signed by residents of the Stanley Quarter district and when completed will fol- low the others to the New Haven of flee. This petition has been drawn up by Leon $. Cowles 1SS Carlton street.
 Want Run Changed.
 According to the inform ation re- ceived from the latter petitioners the residents of that vicinity have for the past several months requested that the North Stanley street-to- Berlin run he changed and that a special car be placed on the north end run going from the triangle to North Stanley street every fifteen minutes. The pe-
 
 in on the Berlin end of the run and should the cars only run from the tri- ahgle to North Stanley street and an other run from the tria1 gle To Berlin the service would be hettered greatly on both ends.
 Berlin Run Loses Time.
 The petitioners allege that cars all ways lose time on their t1i ips back and forth to Berlin and feel that this run should be discontinued. The Berlin residents on the ether hand report that should the north end run be dis continued they would benefit by it as the cars would then be oil time, they say. Ill signing this new and third petition the petitioners have made 1t q. point to ask for an independent trolley line.
 Walk To Be On Time.
 Residents who go home for lunch every day have, during the past sev- eral weeks, had to walk back to work in order to be on time for work, it is stated. The trolley service since the recent snows1 orms has been worse than ever and that, together with the zone system, is said to have made many of the petitioners '>hoof it'' to work It is reported that yesterday the trolley due at the north end at 1 o'clock did not get there until 1:35 o'clock.
 While, interviewing several of the petitioners this morning statements were made to the effect that the service received is simply abusing and a stiff fight will be made" in an effort to secure better transportation.
 Berlin Residents Complain.
 It was also reported this morning that residents of Berlin have entered several plaintS to the New Haven office regarding the alleged poor serV- ice given on that line.
 Automobiles Delay Traffic.
 Enlployes of the Connecticut com- panv report that automobile trucks get into the GIT tracks and are uh- able to get out owing to the snow and ice and this causes a big delay in the service. Undoubtedly after good weather sets in the service will be greatly better ed, they report.

ALLEGED DRAFT DODGER THINKS HE'S THE GEAR His Attorney Tries to Prove
 Him Insane,
 Anyhow.

New York Jan. 29.-The court martial of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, of Philadel phia, a charge of de sertion because Of his alleged failure to report for duty under the draft law which was scheduled to begin aE Governors Island tomorrow has becl indefinitely postponed pending an examina ton as to his sanity, it was announced today.
 Frank Spencer, Jr., the defendant $ civilian counsel, yesterday filed an ap- plication for the medical examination and expressed the belief that the prisoner is insane.
 Bergdoll was apparently rational when arrested. Lately, his attorney said, the prisoner believes himself to be the Czar of Russia and claims to see strange birds and animals.
 Leutenant-General Robert E. Bull lard. commander of the Department of the East, will appoint a board of Army physicians to examine the prisoner within 8 week or 10 days. If found sane, Bergdoll probably will be placed on trial February A or 25.
 Nearly 30 witnesses have been brought here from all sections of the country for Bergdolrs trial. Lieuten- ant-Colonel Charles c. Cressen has been assigned to prosecute him as. sisted by Major Louis kohn and Cap tains Robert F.. Hannay and John NJ Weir. Captain Bruce R. Campbell $ the prisoners military counsel.

ALTON PARKER SCORES
 CLERGY FOR SERMONS
Says Government Should Not Turn Other Cheek"
 to Reds, As They Ask.

New York, Jan. 29.--Alton E. Par ker today criticized Bishop Charles Brent and other clergymen for q pro test they made yesterday against de- : portations of reds.
 . Do the kindly minded clergymen expect us to stand still while the scum of the earth are roaming about the country v asked the judge in opening the annual meeting of the National Civic federation, of which he is presi- dent.
 The injunction of Scripture to hold up the other cheek, he said, did not m ust watch classes who come to this country to overthrow it and send them back.
 T wonder if these good men," he added, realize what they were criti- cizing"
 Industrial shop training as q. means of incre asing production in order to reduce the cost of living was in dorsed at the meeting by Samuel Gompers and other speakers. T. C.. Spence. a manufacturer, said that the reason for under production in 90 per cent. of the cases was not unwilling ness of workers but ignorance of how to produce more.
 Allen Wake CT of the Guaranty Trust company, said a fireman on the New Haven railroad who was a passenger on a Pullman car, told him he was having a hard time to make both ends meet on s240 a month and blamed the profteers.

Attorney Smith and his assistants for the past three days and it is said the case as- sumed the proportions of being the biggest one in the federal criminal court in many years.
 Captain of Ordnance.
 During the war and afterward Hegy was a captain of ordnance. Wirth, a civilian in government employ, was chief inspector of ordnance at the Locomobile plant, and Gardner, an- other civilian. was assistant inspector of ordnance there. Captain Hegy and Wirtl are a little over o years of age and Gardner apparently in the vicin- ity of 35.
 It is said these men, working prac- tically all in the same department of the Locomobile plant conspired to make a bit of money out of some half dozen surplus Libe rty motors which. so far as now learned, were not charged up against any officers ac- count but were the property of the government. The scheme started about the first of July and by the mid dle Of August the motors had been disposed of. It is said by officials the engines were valued at about S15, 1000 for the six.
 Finding the engines had disap- peared from stock military intelll- ssence agents traced them and learned details of the sales and recovered the motors which are again in the pos session of the government. It took more time to connect the three men with the conspiracy but the evidence laid before the district attorneys of flee was so complete that when ques- tioned at length the accused men aci- mitted the transactions and later pleaded guilty before the commission a
