KEEP OUT OF RAYS OF SUN

''If you would keep well and avoid heat exhaustion and heat prostration during the coming months of July and August stay out of the glaring rays of the sum- said Dr. B. J. Burns of the Emergency hospital staff when asked for the chief reason of the numerous heat prostrations that occur during the months mentioned.
 We are called upon to answer to a great many cases of persons who have been overcome by the heat and the usual finding is that the patient has unnecessarily exposed hmse1f to the suns hot rays and as a result they keep the ambulance on the jump continually during these months,'' ,'' continued Dr. Burns. We simply is sue this precaution at this time to save the people from the sufferings of the hot season andDSwe hope they will benefit by it and use little judgment and exercise more care dur ing the hot spel1.'
 So far this year the ambulance has been called upon to answer to only -four cases of heat exhaustion which is lower than the number of similar cases last year. The simple remedy Suggested by pr. Burns was seconded by Health Officer Dr. William H. Coon.

MERCHANTS LINE
 ADVANCES RATES

The Hartford-New York Transpor- tation Company operating the steam ship Seaboard, known as the Mer- chants Line. between the East Side dock of this city and New York, gave notice to the Transportation Commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce this morning that within short time they will advance their class rates, bring ing them up to the usual differential below the New England Steamship Company's rates and the N. Y, N. H. & H. rates between Bridgeport and New York. The Hartford-New York Transportation Company did not ad- vance their rates when other lines ef- fected an increase in charges, and it is considered by the committee re- ferred to that the proposed advance is proper one.
 George c. Hill, general freight and passenger agent of Hartford. repre- scented the Hartford-New Y ork Trans portation Go. at the conference which was held in the Assembly room of the chamber in the First-Bidgeport National Bank building this morning. The new rates will be announced shortly.

NEW PARCEL POST STATION

The new home of the parcel post station will be ready for occupancy on July Is, according to an an nouncement made at the post office this morning.
 The outside alterations to the building will most likely be finished this week and the interior work will be rushed so as to be ready for July Is. A shower bath for the benefit of the workers connected with the building will be one of the features of the new home. It was decided not to renew the lease on the old building on Cannon street because the present quarters were not large enough to handle all of the parcel post matter which has increased over 100 per cent, especially since the embargo on the New Haven road went into effect. The new home of the parcel post station will be on John street, just below Broad street. in the building formerly occupied by the Pyramid garage.

HAD TO ANSWER
 QUEER QUESTION

Whether or not Gerneroso Costanze was fooling with a fellow emp1oye when he received. his injuries at the Armstrong Mfg. Co.,, on March 8, was the question which Compensa- tion Commissioner Edward T. Buck ingham found necessary to answer in order to grant a compensation award to the claimant. .-
 Costanzo claims that as he was eating his lunch at the factory yard a fellow employe, Arnold Jones, grabbed him by the neck, and threw him to the floor, sustaining injuries which required him to have hospital and medical treatment.
 The decision was based on the fact that injuries caused by fooling with a fellow employe, can by no means be construed to be the result of the claimants employment, and he is not entitled to compensation.

WILL GET 200 BUSES
 FOR CITY
Jitneymen Make Ar engagements to Handle
 Traffic.

In order that the people of Bridge. port may not suffer any 1nconven- fence in case the Connecticut Com pany ceases to operate its cars in this city on July 15. the Bridgeport jitney men have made arrangements to bring in 200 additional busses to this city by that date. These busses will be plac- ed on all routes they will be sufficient to handle all traffic
 The committee of the Park City Bus Association which went to New York yesterday to look up additional buses to meet the demand that will be occa- stoned by the stopping of trolleys, re- turned this morning and stated that all arrangements had been completed for obtaining 200 buses.
 The busses will be delivered. in this city next week and will be ready to take their places on the lines at any time.
 The committee were looking for Mayor Wilson this morning to inform him that they would be prepared to meet any emergency in the traffic situation but were unable to locate his honor.
 The Park City Bus association will immediately begin the training of drivers to man the new busses so that there will be sufficient capable and experienced men available when needed.
 Every available bus and jitney in the city will be kept going during the coming holidays to show the peo- pie of this city the efficient way in which the jitney men are able to handle crowds of any size.
 There will be no increase in the fares charged on the jitneys when the new busses arrive, according to state ments of Harry Frank, president of the Park City association and John B. Schwarz, president of the State Bus association.
 Both of these men state that they are convinced that the service which is now being given by the jitneys is satisfactory to the travelling public and that with the increased facilities which the additional busses will fur nish they believe that the public will soon forget that trolleys were ever of any benefit here-
 President Schwarz of the State As sociation will soon issue a call for a meeting of that body to take steps to meet the threat which he claims is be- ing made by the Connecticut Com pany against all jitneys in the state.

Last nights disappointed crowd which had packed the auditorium keen for tho spectacle of William J. Bryan setting off the fireworks, traal- ed to the hall again today determined not to be cheated out of the show by postponements or delays.
 + Under the program agreed upon Bryan will present his side of the question in a speech limited to ao minutes and Bainbridge Colby, Secre- tary of States, will present the com ,.aittee managers side in 30 minutes.
 That arrangement however, does not by any means confine the discus sion to one hour- Any number or persons desiring to speak, who may be recognized by Permanent Chair r1an Robinson also may be heard for 50 minutes each.
 Bryan's repeatedly announced de- termination for "a platform no wet can run on" and his announcements of last night assured a prolonged struggle, and even though the pre- dictions of the administration forces that they would be able to "choke Bryan off were fulfilled, there was no prospect that they would be car ried out quickly
 When at the close of yesterday af- ternoon's session of the resolutions committee all prohibition blanks were voted out of the platform, Bryan in a long and fiery speech told the com Sr1ittee111en while he realized that the administration forces had the votes to put over their program they would do so at the promise of his opposition. Then the committee, after being all ready to make its report, reconsfdered its decision and decided to hear Bryan at further session while the conven- ton waited At this session Bryan continued his attack on the admtnis- tration forces who pleaded with him not to pursue a course which would make, for party discord and endangef party success in November. Bryan however. was adamant, and the ma dortty finally gave up all hopes of con- ciliating him and decided to face an open fight on the floor.
