CONSIDER NEW BASIS
 FOR TROLLEY FARES

New Haven, Conn.,, June 21-Ad- justment of wages under the advanc- ed scale accepted by motormen and conductors of the Connecticut Co.,, which are retroactive to June 1, ; When the old agreement expired, are being figured out by the paymaster's depart ment of the company. It is under stood that in the conferences the em- p1oyes offered serious objection to the continuance of the zone system of fares, and the men understand that new basis of fares is being consid- cred. One of the chief propositions is to abolish the zone fares and make a flat rate of seven cents for three miles or fraction thereof with collec- tions to be made by conductors as was the case with the five cent fare. The increase to the passenger will be slight or about the equivalent of one cent on the present basis of three zones for six cents when a zone card is used.
 Some time may elapse before any plan for increase to meet the added operating expense may be evolved or announced.

The wounded are Lieutenant Rich ard LeRoy of the police de- partment, John J. Bergin of the company's protective force, and Q striker, evidently an Italian, name unknown.

The crowd was noisy and police officers were sent from the headquarters to disperse it. Q There was clash during which considerable shooting occurred. The exact facts as to this and it's origin have not been determined. The city guards were marched out and took with them machine gun.

START INVESTIGATION
 OF BOARDING HOUSES

While no official complaint has been registered against the over, crowded conditions of the numerous boarding and rooming houses in the various sections of the city Bridgeport citizens have been free in expressing themselves in regard to the matter. The main complaint is directed against the so-called hotels" who are catering to the housing of Spanish 1aborers who have been brought into this city to meet the demands of the manufacturers and their labor prob- lems.
 The South End of the city seems to be the worst hit in the housing of these foreigners. Two houses given over to the care of the workers are centrally located on State street, one of them being in the backyard of the Seaside Club at the corner Of State and Lafayette streets. According to information secured by The Times the inhabitants of one of the houses on State street is working double shift on the beds in the rooms.
 The Sanitary squad of the Board of Health have recently been conducting a city wide investigation on housing conditions and will make their report to Health Officer Dr. William H. Coon sometime this week. Dr. Coon said this morning when told about the un- sanitary conditions existing in the above two mentioned places that he would start an investigation immed1- ately at the places and furnish the press with report on the facts of the situation He. expressed himself at a loss as to just what remedy to apply if he found conditions as re- ported '.Ehese men must be quar- tered some place and even if the con ditions are proved as reported hous- ing facilities are not adequate in this city to better the conditions"
 According to the report the Colum- bia Graphophone Company plant seems to be the mecca for the em- ployment of most of the Spanish la borers The foreigners themselves say that conditions are misrepreSented and that as soon as they save enough money they will vacate the city as rapidly as they came in.

RIOTS RESULT OF RADICAL PLOT
Police Bombing Chicago For Jonas Alleged
 Agitator.

Chicago, June 21.---Police today were seeking R. D. Jonas, alleged radical agitator, and three negroes in connection with rioting in Chicago's black belt'' last night, during which two white men were killed and two negroes were seriously injured. The fighting followed dispersal of a pa rade of negro members of the Star Order of Ethiopia an organization said to advocate return of the negro to Abyssinia, and immediately after one of the leaders of the parade had set fire to an American flag.
 Police today emphasized that the rioting was not the result of racial feeling but more probably the result of a radical plot. They pointed out that. negroes and whites had cooper ated in an effort to resent the insult to the flag. However, several incl dents, including the maltreatment of three negro ministers many blocks from the scene of the rioting, occur ring later in the night, savored of race rioting.
 The negroes sought as leaders in the plot to burn the flag are Joseph F'ernon, who is said to call himself '~The Great Abyssinian"; his son, and Grover c. Bedding, who, it is said, claims to be a native of Abyssinia- The three negroes led the parade

HUGHES INVEICHS AGAINST TYRANNY Tendency To Enact Uncer
 tain Laws Is In
 creasing.
ambridge, Mass,

Cambridge, Mass, June 21- Charles E. Hughes, speaking at the centenary of Harvard Law School today noted tendency to revert to methods tyranny in our government and to disregard the essentials of lib erty.
 '-The tendency to enact uncertain laws seems to be increasing" he said, "and what is worse the people tolerate it and there are but faint demands for improvement. *
 tDisregarding the lessons of his tory there has been a disposition ts revert to the methods in tyranny. to meet problems of democracy. In- tent on some immediate exigency and with slight consideration of larges issues, we create autocratic power by giving administrative officials who can threaten indictment the oppor- tunities of criminal statutes without any appropriate definition of crime.
 We went to war for liberty and democracy with the result that we fed the autocratic --ppetite and through a fiction permissible only be- cause the courts cannot know what everyone else knows. we have seen the war powers whichIare essential to the preservation of the nation in time of war, exercised broadly after the military exigency has passed, and in conditions for which they were never intended, and we may well wonder in view of the precedents now estab- lished whether constitutional govern ment as heretofore maintained in this republic could survive another great war even victoriously Waged.
 Apart from these conditions we cannot afford to ignore the indications that perhaps to an extent unparalleled in our history, the essentials of lib- erty are being disregarded. Very re- gently information has been laid by responsible citiizens at the bar of public opinion of tyranny. And in the conduct of trials before the courts we find a growing tendency on the part of prosecutors to resort to grossly unfair practices"

MAY ACT ON SALARY ''CRAB''

Routine business will take up the attention of the Board of Aldermen tonight and one of the matters that may come up for discussion is Alder man Drew's resolution in the last meeting to reconsider the action of the council in giving members of the board a salary of S9oO a year. The Drew resolution was referred to the committee on ordinances and a report may be submitted by that committee tonight.
 The finance report to be submitted to the aldermen for approval will not have the bill to pay the Burns detec- lives for the work in conducting the vice raids. One of the reasons ad- vanced for the bills failure to show up is there isn't any money with which to square the ~~oount until the Board of Apportionment arranges for the nOueN.
