FEW ACCIDENTS
 OVER HOLIDAY

Bridgeport spent a safe and sane holiday yesterday according to the re- ports gleaned at the various accident centers this morning. The city am bu1ance answered to only two calls all day. The Connecticut Company reported a clean slate, no trolley ac- cidents occurring during the day. Both accidents which were handled by the Emergency staff were not of a very serious nature.
 Mrs. Rose Kania, 37 years old, of 4 Greene street sustained fractured rib of the left side when she fell while alighting from a jitney at the corner of Greene street and East Main street last evening at s:15 o'clock. Another passenger on the bus who was getting off at the same street and following close behind her stepped on her skirt thus causing her to fall. Dr. J. A. Maxwell answered a call for the ambulance.
 James Schavour, 27 years old, of 27 Clinton avenue suffered a compound fracture of the left leg when a motor cycle that he was riding collided with an automobile at the corner of Housa- tonic avenue and Grand street yester- day noon at 12:30 o'clock. He was given first aid treatment by pr. J. A. Maxwell of the Emergency staff and removed to the Bridgeport hospital.

STRIKE SPREADS
 IN WATERBURY
Police Endeavor to Locate Perpetrator of Bomb
 Outrage.

Waterbury, June 1-Reports from various factories today indicate that the strike movement is spreading among the employees of local concerns. This morning about 35 more skilled workmen employed at the Scovi1l Manufacturing Company joined the strike. At the Chase Company's headquarters, one of the largest man. ufacturing concerns in the city. it was stated that over 10 per cent. more of the employees had quit work today. Other smaller concerns likewise re- port losses.
 The Blake and Johnson Company s machine division was operating this morning for the first time in over a week. About one-third of the em- ployes had returned to the factory, it was stated. This is the only concern where an increase in the number of employees was noted. Many strikers, both skilled and unskilled, are leav- ing town to secure work in other cities.
 The police are endeavoring to locate the person responsible for the plant ing of dynamite at the residence of John H. Goss a prominent local man ufacturer, last Sunday night. No ar rests have been made. It was report ed today that two suspicious looking characters were seen in the neighbor- hood imm ediately after the explosion, which did little damage.

Attorney Gen. Palmer Tells Committee Post Substituted Own Mis- taken Personal Views For Obligations of Public Law.

Washington, June 1-(By the A. P.)-Charging that Louis F. Post, Assistant Secretary of Labor, had a perverted sym pathy" for the criminal anar- chist, Attorney General Palm CT told House Committee to- day that in dealing with at
 tempts of the government to
 rid the country of dangerous aliens MT. Post had employed ''self willed and autocratic sub
 stitution of his own mistaken
 personal viewpoint for the ob-
 legations of the public law.''
 MT. Palmer was testifying before the rules committee which is investigat
 ing the official conduct of MT. Post in deporta ton proceedings.
 Tt has become perfectly apparent 9
 the attorney general said, that MT. Posts course in all the deportation
 proceedings has been dictated by his
 own personal view that the deporta-
 tion law is wrong, rather than by any
 desire or intention to carry out the
 law enacted by the congress. By
 his self-willed and autocratic subStitu-
 tion of his mistaken personal view
 point for the obligation of public law;
 by his habituaIly tender solicitude for
 social revolutioniStS and perverted
 sympathy for the criminal anarchists
 of the country he has consistently de-
 prived the people of their day in court in the enforcement of a law of vital l importance to their peace and safety. By his wholesale jail deliveries and his release of even self-confeSsed an archists of the worst type, he has ut terly nullified the purpose of the con- gress in passing the deportation stat ute and has set at large amongst the people the very public enemies whom it was the desire and intention of the congress to be rid of.
 He has defied the rules of evidence as laid down by our most responsible courts, has cancelled hundreds of legal warrants issued by his depart ment, entirely without justification and in face of the facts. has fouted 1 the judgment of a committee of the | Senate which has investigated one o1 l the cases before him, has shown con. l stant favors to violators of the law | and their attorneys, refusing ever | common courtesy to the department or 1uSllce, Whlch IS cnaTSeo W1lH ths l duty of enforcing the laws. and in order to distract public attention 1 from his obvious failure to perform I his own duty, has showered upon the ! department of justice a mass o1 charged of misconduct in the hope i that he could put this law enforcing l department of the government on the | defensive in the place of those crim- | inal enemies of the government from whose activities our department aa: | sought to protect the government an6 the people,"
 | MT. Palmer said he hoped 'tit migh | never be necessary to indulge in any | criticism of another governm ent off 1 cial, but the outrageous and uncon- | scionable falseh oods'' laid before thu committee by MT. Post required def | mite answers.

MAYOR IS NOT
 READY TO TALK
Will Announce When He is
 Ready to Make Dis closures.

When I get ready to make any disclosures, I will let you know" said Mayor Wilson this morning when asked concerning a statement made Sunday night that there was a 'tleak' in the police department and for that reason brought in the Burns detec- tives to make the. vice raids in this city. The mayor closed the interview by saying, 1T have nothing more for you this morning.
 In the statement given out the mayor reviewed the recent raids by saying that he had gone to the police department numerous times with complaints and each time word had come back to him that the complaints were not justified. After several of these had been lodged with the police and no results obtained he decided to call in the Burns men.
 He further said that when he made some disclosures he would have the moral support of Bridgeport behind him. What these disclosures are he refused to say anything about this morning.

 / JAIL BREAK
Alleged Auto Thief Well Known to Police of
 City.

Local police received word today of the escape of Joseph Brady. alleged thief, from the Erie coun- ty jail at Buffalo. N. Y. Brady and a compa nion named William Marweg, who is charged with murder, held up a keeper at the point of a revolver, Sunday morning, and made their escape from the prison. Neither fug1- tive has been captured as yet.
 Brady is well known to the police of Bridgeport, having stolen two auto mobiles here this year. The first theft, that of car belonging to w. G. Crabtree, of 1271 Noble avenue was committed on March Il. The machine was later recovered in New ark, N. J.

The authorities of that city were notified by the Bridgeport police, and Brady was arrested there short time ago. His escape is one of the most sensational that has ever been made at the Erie county prison.
