RIOTS

FAMILIES MOVE

New York, Sept. so-New York's
annual fall moving day tomorrow will
be marked by unprecedented confu-
sion, when $4,000 families set out to
move their 10000 loads of house
hold effects, On 1000 moving vans,
into new quarters, many of which all
ready are occupied by determined ten
ants. This was the situation predicted
today by van owners and real estate
firms, who hazarded the guess that 1t
would take at least "a days to settle
the city's nomads into their new
quarters
Arthur J. W. Hilly, chairman of
Mayor Hylan's committee on rent
profiteering, has advised "squatter
sovereignty under the terms of the
new rent laws. for those who have
been unable to find new quarters,
Eviction under the new laws passed
last week by the legislature is posi-
BILE only upon presentation of proof
by the landlord that the tenant is of
undesirable character, that the land
lord intends to occupy the apartment
himself or that the building Is to be

while it will bring relief to thousands
of tenants, will work a corresponding
hardship On other thousands who

port Not To Be Repre-
sented at the Hearing.

Public Utilities Commission which
will be held in Hartford tomorrow
morning at 1880 it is probabl that
given authority to charge ten cent
fare for the old fare limits.
The six and seven cent charge
under which the company is now
ties commission temporarily until a
valuation of the company's property
could be completed and a report re-
ceived from Mayor Wilson's Traffic
commission which was working on
the trolley-jitney problem in this
city.
If the Utilities Commission author
ICES the ten cent charge it will be
another blow to trolley traffic in the
limits of all eities and congested
parts of towns throughout the state
while it will mean a lowering of the
charge in the suburban distriG s.
In this city any short ride will cost
ten cents but passengers travel
from Fairfield to Devon for the same
amount and the fare from Bridgeport
to New Haven will be reduced from
the present charge of 6S cents to SO
cents.
The general opinion in Bridgeport
today was that the increase to ten
cents in the city limits would so de
crease the already small patronage of
the trolley cars that the company
would have to stop its service again
The jitney men believe that if the
company increases its charge to ten
cents it will greatly increase the
| patronage of the jitneys and a deal
was completed today whereby the
| Bus corporation will purchase twenty
buses of the Rhode Island Omnibus
| company, five of which will be de-
| livdred in Bridgeport on October s,
and the other fifteen within a short
| interval.
Harry Frank, president of the Park
! City Bus association seemed pleased
| over the outlook and jokingly said
| that if President Storrs wanted him
| he would go to Hartford and adNo-
cate the ten cent charge for the
| tro1leys.
Frank also said that, he believed
| that if the Connecticut Company was
| to charge ten cents the jitneys should
be allowed to return to their old runs
| where they can serve the travelling
! public great deal better than on the
| routes they are compelled to take by
| the ordinance now in effect. -
! Frank said that the jitney men had
no intention of increasing their
charge and would continue to carry.

The Mayor also said that the IItili-

notified of Bridgeport position and he
understood that the whole ques' ion
OF fares was to be adjourned to allow
his commission to finish its Iabors
George Bevans, the jitney member
Of the Mayors commission said tha,-
he had been given to understand that
the matter would be adjourned by
the Utilities Board for a month.

FIGHT TO
STOP AN
AUTO
Great Excitement on
William Street AS
Milknan and His Son
Try to Prevent Driver
of Col1iding Auto
From Getting Away
Police Finally Take a
Hand.

Shouts of 'Police," Murder and
other wild cries aroused the neigh
borhood in the vicinity of Maple and
William street about 2:45 O'Clock this
morning when an automobi driven
by David r. Lloyd of SO Boston Ter
race, sped up William street with two
and raining a shower of blows on the
driver in an attempt to halt the wild
dash of the car.
The introduction to the story, ac-
cording to the police was made
when Lloyd who was driving his car,
a taxi cab, south on William street,
collided with a milk wagon standing
near the corner of Maple street and
in which was Louis Ginsberg of SO
Drew place and his son. AS a result
of the collision the norsea. ttached to
the milk wagon was seriously injured
and the wagon was partly wrecked.
Ginsberg is then alleged to have asked
ond precinct police station and settle
for the damages which Lloyd refused
to do claiming that the damages were
not serious, and adding you've got
my number" When he then at
tempted to drive off without making
a settlement Ginsberg and his son are
alleged to have jumped upon the car
and hollered for Lloyd to stop. When
he did not stop the machine Gins
berg and his son are said to have
used force and judging, by the ap-
pearance of Lloyd in the city court
this morning they used "some force.'
The car driven by Lloyd continued
to speed up William street while the
three men filled the early morning air
with shouts of Police and Murder
The chase went up William street over
Huntington Road and when the car
got to PenIb roke street on Boston ave-
nue., motor truck blocked the road
way, and Lloyd was forced to bring
his machine to a halt. Previous to
tree along the route taken - the
mad dash to get away. Two policemen
appeared upon the scene after the car
had halted at Boston avenue and
Pembroke street, and Lloyd was taken
to the Second precinct station, and
locked up, charged with reckless driv-
ing and attempting to evade response
bility. He was arraigned in the City
court this morning before Judge
Wilder. The court experienced some
difficulty in Strengthening out the case.
Superintendent of Police Flanagan
was called into consultation as to why
Lloyd was locked up last night and
whether or not the car could not have
been given as a bond to secure the
mans release last night at the Second
precinct. The court also attempted to
straigmten out why the attack had
peared in cour this morning. Due tc
the fact that the taxi driver was badly
bunged up and in no condition for
trial Judge Wilder continued the case
until tom orrow morning. Lloyd was
released in bonds OF $50. Both the
taxi and the milk wagon are reported
as being badly smashed.
