CITY PEERLESS
 AS bREWERIES
 ARE SHUT DOWN

The. task of checking up on the three local breweries that were order ed closed on Thursday after 60 inter- nal revenue agents had visited them and found that the beer that was be- ing made at all three places registered more than the one half per cent. al lowed by the Eighteenth Amendment was started this morning under the direction of Chief Inspector Lynch of the Northea Department who was put in charge of the situation in the government interests after Chief Mc- Carthy of Boston left town on Friday night. Inspector Lynch said this morning that it would take two or three days before the inventory at the seized plants would be completed.
 Meanwhile Bridgeport is cut off from the beer supply from local dea1- CTS and negotiations are under way to bring the product into this city from New York and other nearby cities. After the inventory at the three local breweries has been cornpleted the next step will be the setting of a bond by the government officials. Until the bond has been fixed the three beer plants will be tied up completely with the exception of allowing them clean
 up on the perishable matter that was in the process of making when the raids were made on Thursday. Sup posedly on orders from Washington, Collector of Internal Revenue of Con- necticut James J. Walsh visited , Bridgeport on Saturday and made formal seizure of the three plants and their products in the interests of the government. MT. Walsh stated on | Saturday that he did not believe any criminal action would be taken by | the authorities but that the mattel would be handled through the civil court.
 The reports on the street this morn | ing were that the complaint in this 1 city against the quality of the beer l that was being made had been made i by a rival brewery with intentions ot stepping in and hogging the trade fol l their own product. It was learned by 1 the Times this morning that three | truck~loads of beer that were being
 shipped in here from New York wa: | temporarily held up on Saturda! | when the trucks broke down. Evi | dences that this particular cut o
 town concern had designs on
 monopoly of the beer trade for thi
 city were freely expressed by person
 who were in a position to know thi | morning.

 Corrigan was in a coach car when the accident occurred. The first warning he had of the catastrophe was when heard the sudden grinding of the emergency brakes on the rails Then came the plunge of the engine into the bank and the deTaImenr of the car through which he was walk ing. He left the car and the first thing he saw were the two parlor cars that had been forced across the southbound tracks by the impact of the engine with the bank. A New York bound express was in sight and did not seem to be slowing down Corrigan picked up two flags and waved them, and the New York train stopped a few hundred yards from the scene of the wreck.

Meriden, Aug. 23-That some such object as a stone or a board placed on one of the rails was the cause of the train wreck just south of Meri- den Saturday afternoon was the opin- ion yesterday of E. I. Rudd, chief en- glneer of the public utilities commis- sion, and c. L. Bardo, general ma nager of New Haven" road, both of whom further expressed the belief that the object which caused the death of two men and the injury of thirteen other persons was placed on the rail by thoughtless small boys.
 William E. Cotter, fireman, died early this morning at the Meriden hospital.
 Engineer George F. Bill, who was instantly killed in the train wreck might have been saved had he cared to desert his engine by jumping from the cab to the bank running parallel with the railroad tracks, according to William Corrigan of Nc. 76 Edwards street, brakeman on the 1ll-fated

FLASHLlGHT
 BRINGS HELP
 TO TUGBOAT
Light Was Flashed Into the Pilot House of Another
 Tug Off the Harbor.

Attracted at 10 o'clock last night by the flashing of a searchhght into the windows of his pilot house, which is against the rules of navigation, the ca ptain of the Blue Line tug, Hocken- daq qua, bound for New London, with barges of coal, made for Bridgeport harbor. anchored his tow in the har Dor and went to the assS5tance of the tug Onrust of the Hartford and New York Transportation Company which was being driven on to Owls Head, two miles west of Port Jefferson. Af- ter a strenuous battle against the n northeast gale he succeeded in bring ing the Onrust and her tow into Bridg eport harbor at 4 o'clock this morning.
 The Onrust was towing six barses of manure from New York to Middle town and other places on the Con necticut river, when her tail shaft broke as she was off Black Rock on the Long Island side of the Sound yesterday noon.
 The mate rowed to this city and telephoned to his office in Hartford and the officials there. called to New York and ordered the Sachen, an other of their fleet of tugs, to go to the rescue.
 Before the Sachem arrived the wind began to blow a gale and the tow was being rapidly carried to the Long Island shore when the captain of the Onrust sighted the. Hockendaqua and being unable to reach him by his whistle, played his searchlight into the pilot house until he attracted the attention of it's skipper.
 There were 20 persons on the tow and the timely arrival of the Hocken- daqua relieved their apprehension ot
 wrecling on Owls Head.

 King ForCcSArc| ( Said I0bc Aiding The Wilson Boom
L Leaders Desire to Help Brandegee Said to Be Responsible for the Sudden Shift in the Lineup Here-Bran- degee Wants Wilson As Candidate for Gov. ernOr.

There are some indications in the local and state political field that the break between Mayor Clifford B. Will son and John T. King is being healed. It was only the other day that the Mayor announced that he was through with King and that he was a candi- date for Governor But the nysteri- ous tip seems to have gone all along the line that the King forces are to support Wilson in his candidacy for governor. ---.--.s
 For instance its was reported this morning that the police department of the city had suddenly become more or less enthusiastic for Wilson for governor. Those who know say that such a proceeding could not be accom- plished without orders from John T.
 It is possible that the candidacy of Senator Brandegee for renoniinatiora may have had something to do with the sudden shift in the alignment here. It is known throughout the state thar King is very ardent supporter of sanator Brandegee and he said at the state convention that if he remained in politics it, would be for the purpose of re-eleeting Brandegee. Brandegee, it is known, is very anx- lous to have Wilson nominated for governor because Wilson is the most pronounced pro-suffrage official in the toCe1CO, c1iid StIid LOT fIdI1QoSoo- realizes that the selection of a pro- uffrasist nominee for governor would nu1Hfy 1 to some extent the work of the women against him.
 l And thus it may turn out that at the state convention that in spite Of Mayor Wilson's declaration the John
 T. King forces will be behind the Mayors candidacy for the governor ship.
 The Mayor is still touring the state in the interest of his candidacy. l The, failure of any of the men mentioned for the Repub blican nonain-r l alton for governor to acquire enough
 strength to make his nomination any thing of a certainty at the coming convention is causing number of
 new names to be suggested for the
 honor of leading the Republican state ticket at the coming convention The latest name to be suggested is that of William Henry (Hank) Hall
 the prominent manufa cturer business
 man and politician of willin
 whose hat has been thrown into the
 ring by friends. Cards bearing cut l of the candidate and a statement of
 his qualifications have been sent to
 all prominent politicians through out
 the state.
 Hank Hall has a number of inf1uen- tial friends among the Republicans of
 Fairfield county and is particularly 1 strong in Bridgeport.
 He was a favorite of the Fairfield
 county senators and of John T. King for president of the state senate t
 the organization of the last legislature and was defeated by a small majority
 by the Roraback candidate
 He is wealthy and is known as a good contributor to the party funds , and it is the opinion of many astute , Bridgeport Republicans that he will 1 make the other candidates hustle +n , beat him for the coveted honor.

STOLE EMBALMING OUTFIT

Last Saturday evening some miser-
able imitation of humanity stole a
grip containing a complete embalm-
er's outfit from the carriage block
near Bert Conlee's residence, where
it had been left by Mr.. Conlee. The
outfit was absolutely valueless to
anyone but the owner, or some per-
son in similar business, although it
was valued at about one hundred and
fifty dollars. That it should have been
stolen by some one who had no use
for it is a shame. Here's hoping the
thief requires the application of the
outfit in the very near future-the
nearer the better.
