Following is a statement Of the trustees of the Connecticut Company relative to conditions in Bridgeport, in connection with notice to the authorities as to discontinuance of street railway service, on the entire Bridgeport Division unless restrictive jitney regulation be made effective by July 18th:
 As is we'll known, jitneys have been operated in the city of/Bridgeport for the several years last past in direct competition with the street cars of the Connecticut Company and to a greater extent than in any other city of the state. This competition has materially affected the revenues of the company, the amount received having been for long time insufficient to meet ordinary operating costs and recently having so fallen off as to but barely. meet the payrolls, leaving not enough to pay for materials and SUD- plies. In other words, at the present time, the company is actually losing money by the operation of it's cars in Bridgeport.
 The company has sought to meet this competition and to improve the character of it's service, having pur- chased a large. number of safety cars, but unfortunately the financial. re- suits have not only failed to improve, but have grown steadily worse Mani festly, this cannot continue. The company has no profits at other places which it can draw upon to make up it's losses in Bridgeport. The continuance of its operations must de- pend upon the revenues received.
 The great cause of the competition which has proven so ruinous to the company is that the routes assignee d to the jitneys by the public auth ori- ties are all on streets upon which the street railway tracks are located so that all the revenues which they re- ceive comes from those who would otherwise pay car fares and thus directly takes away the revenues of this company. The extent of this competition Is shown by the fact that the jitneys are carrying over one-half of the total number of passengers.
 Under such severe and unregulated competition it is impossible for this company to operate. It Is obliged to pay a percentage of its gross re- ceipts in the form of a tax and in

There were several other methods which succeeded the horse cars, the cable ears and now the trolleys and Iitl may be possible that some other method will Suc- ceed the trolleys.''

ers, alive, and able to stand, only
the God Of Israel will know how
it is done.
When the Cha1uzim learned
that they had told their story to
journalists for the Christian
press, they begged us not to
write it. ''It will reflect, perhaps,
upon our people" they said. We
had to promise that we would not
tell it to Christians.
Very we'll, we have kept faith
with them, as they are keeping
faith still, with the Jews of the
world.

New York-The "New York
American" today had the follow
ing editorial under the head of
"Here's The Way to Solve Ali
Knotty Problems:
"The Jews of Hungary, &C
cording to dispatch from Wen
ma, are to be deprived of all
rights of suffrage under an un-
derstanding reached by the poll
tical parties of that country,
with a view of solving the Jew
ish problem.
Gas solutions go, this one is
prize-winner. Possessing no
votes the Jews will be absolutely
at the mercy of their kind-heart-
ed neighbors. They will be killed
or robbed lawfully. And there
will no longer be a Jewish prob
lem.
"The world ought to profit by
such enlightening statecraft.
England might try cutting off the
heads of all Irishmen. They
would then no longer be able to
protest. Consequently, there
would be no Irish problem. If
the Turks were to dip all Armen-
ians in boiling, oil for an hour or
two the Armenian problem
would be solved.
"The thing is so simple that it
is a wonder no one ever thought
of it before. We might even try
it on our profteers. Make each
of them swallow a dynamite car
fridge and then drop them from
the top of the Woolworth Build
ing. 1t would solve the profteer-
ing problem in a jiffy. The idea is
rather startling, but it has it's
good points. ;"

pare it, during these twenty
three days on deck?"
They only shook their heads
and their brave smiles cut into
our hearts lever present, heart
breaking smiles). They are so
gallant, these children. "Es wird
voruber gehen?" they said. It
will pass. They must harden
themselves to Palestine. One
must be accustomed to hardships
if one is to break stones on the
Palestinian roads. So they talked.
To understand what this jour
ney was to mean to these chill
dren one must draw on ones
imagination and experience. An
early winter had set in in middle
and eastern Europe, and on the
day that those children departed,
an icy wind was sweeping
through the city like a hurricane.
The previous day we had crossed
the Adriatic from Venice to
Trieste in a first class steamer
a six hours journey. We had pre-
pared ourselves by eating an es-
pecially warm and nourishing
breakfast. We were in the pink
of physical condition, and were,
in addition to warm undercloth-
ing, wooden suits, sweaters, high
boots, fur coats. Nevertheless
the wind that blew up from that
chilly sea cut through all this,
so that we shivered on deck, and
were obliged to keep to the salon,
during all the rough and uncom-
Portable passage.
1t was easy for us therefore
to picture what awaited these
children, thin-b1ooded from lack
of food, scanti1y clad, preparing
to spend more than three weeks
on deck. It is true that they
would pass eventually into
warmer climes, but they had
many days ahead of them in this
same cold sea, a six hour passage
had almost given pneu-
monia to my friend. And when
they pass into warmer seas, they
will pass into the rainy part, and
after hunger, and cold, they will
sit and sleep all day and night in
drab, chilly rains.
And if any one of them get to
Ere Israel. the land of their faith
