BUCK PASSERS' DRY
WORKERS ARE NAMED,
IN A BITTER SPEECH

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Prohibi-
ton enforcement officials, the New
York branch of the AnttSaloon
League and its superintendent, Will
liam H. Anderson, shared alike a
v.trolic attack made today by Bird s.
Coler, New York commissioner Of
public welfare, in a speech before the
international congress against alco-
holism.
Mr.. Coler's prepared address, al
though censored by officials of the
congress to eliminate personalities,
charged "open violation" of prohibit
ton laws and accused Mr.. Anderson
of attempting to inctte race and
religious hatred.
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer,
also on the program, answered the
attack on his bureau personally, and
AIR Anderson, who was absent, re-
piled in a formal statement in which
he accused Mr.. Coler of injecting
"Tammany politics." into an interna-
tional meeting.
Mr.. ,Coler explained as preface to
his speech that when he reached the
hall where the sessions of the con-
gress are being held he was informed
by Chairman Dinwiddie that he would
not be permitted to deal with person
alities, but that the remainder of the
speech should be delivered.
Called "Buck Passers."
| Launching in his speech, Mr.. Coler
| levelled a bitter attack on the mass
of dry workers, particularly those as
ISOLATED with the Anti-Saloon League,
saying they were buck passers" and
bad not forced the candidate of either
of the major parties to take definite
stand as to retention and enforcement
of the prohibition laws.
AS for federal enforcement of pro
hibition, the speaker demanded that
something be done right now" There
was no reason for quibbling, he added
because Everybody knows liquor can
be bought at most places and at most
any time if you've got the right look
in your eyes,"
''If the prohibition enforcement Off
Gals don't take hold of this situation
quickly" Mr.. Coler continued, 'therel
be a worse scandal when this admins
tration goes out than there was in the
cid whisky ring 25 years ago. In
tired of going after the poor little
devil. I want the enforcement corps
to get somebody that counts"

GERMANY is DRIFTING
TOWARD BANKRUPTCY

BERLIN, Sept. 24.-German Is
drifting steadily in the direction Of
bankruptcy.
That conclusion, which has often
been expressed in the past week, is
strengthened, if anything, by the
statement of Minister of Finance
Wirth to a cabinet meeting called TO
discuss national finances.
His announcement that the national
debt is 242 ,70O,00 $1,000 marks was not
surprise to those in high financial
circles, but created something of a
sensation, followed by pessimism, with
the general public.
The announcement tends to confirm
the belief held in many quarters that
it would be utterly impossible to pay
off or to carry a steadily increasing
burden.

S4OO DAMAGE
 TO PLAYGROUND

Another act of vandalism, proba- ply the work of boys, was brought to the attention of the police this morn ing, when it was reported that prop erty in the Wheeler avenue play grounds had been damaged to the ex- tent of $400. This is the second time within a week that the police have been called upon to investigate a case of this nature, and the authorities are determined to round up the youngsters who are responsible for the acts.
 Ten out of the 22 boys w11e were taken into custody by Detective John Burns yesterday for breaking into the Shelton school in Wheeler avenue, were arraigned in the Juvenile court this morning, and placed on probation for one month. Twelve of the youths were released after they had been found guiltless of any wrong doing.

TROLLEY CARS BEAR
 SIGNS ANNOUNCING
 SUSPENSION JULY 15
Company Notifies Patrons of Intent to Stop Service City Hall Will Be Crowd ed at Monday Night s Meeting.

The trolley cars on the Bridgeport New Haven line today carried cards announcing that after July 15, there would be no trolley service from Bridgeport and that the onIy service would be from Silver Sands, near from New Haven.
 1t was also announced that on the west of Bridgeport service would be stopped as far as Southport
 The notices contained the further statement that the service would be so discontinued until further notice.
 This means that the Connecticut Company will abandon the system be- tween Southport on the west to Silver Sands on the east and all traffic be- tween these points will be either by train or jitney.
 City Hall will be packed Monday night at the adjourned meeting of the Board of Aldermen when it is ex- pected that some action will be taken on the proposition of the Connecticut Company that orders be passed ban ming the jitneys from all streets on which tre1leys operate.
 The packers of the jitneys will be out in force to see that nothing be done to interfere with the jitney ser vice although the threat of the Con- necticut company to stop all trolleys in Bridgeport on July Is, be carried out.

No Coal Orders
 Now
Heatless Homes This Winter Unless the Sit uatiOn is Remedied- Some of the Factories on the Ragged Edge.

A canvass taken this morning among the larger coal firms Tn the city confirms the statement made yesterday by Harry F. Husted of the City Ice and Coal Co.,, that Bridge port as well as other cities in the state and throughout New England that the coal situation is becoming acute and that unless a remedy is applied soon the city VIII have to endure heatless apartments this win ter. The whole trouble according to the coal dealers interviewed this morning lies in the shortage of cars and the general tie up of transporta- ton facilities of the railroad.
 One dealer said this morning that there were number of factories in the city that were on a ragged edge and werec arrying on only coal enough to last them for 48 hours should their supply be cut off entirely. Other factories are reported as having a supply that will tide them over for two weeks. Due to the fact that shipments have not been reaching New York by rail the boats that ply between this city and New York have been. curtafled.
 At the Board of Contract and Sup ply this morning it was said the city institutions were being taken care of and they had no cause to worry as yet over the shortage.
 Regarding the coal supply to the families one dealer said the public did not realize how acute the sftua- tion was and made the prediction that the retail price per ton of stove and furnace coal would be jumped from tine present price of SIS per ton to $2B unless the car shortage is over come. At the present time no coal dealers in the city are taking any orders nor will they make any prom rises for delivery in the future.

Eyicted Tenant Painted Rooms
 Police Charge

According te the story told the pe- Peter Brewster of 555 East Main street painted over the paper and woodwork in an apartment at 2S Laura street. where he formerly re- sided, he figured that he was impreE- ing the interior decoration enermeus- ly and also doing his 1andlady, Mrs. Legiere, of Waller place, a good turn: All tastes are not similar, however, and when Mrs. Legiere took a look at her property she immediately ex= pressed complete disappreEal, and started heap of trouble for her former tenant: As the result, Brew ster was arrested last night by Detect ive> Sergeant Edward Wheeler and Detective Vocco1a. charged with dam aging property:
 According to tfes tory told the pc lice, Mrs. Legiere notified Brewster several weeks ago that he would have to seek another dwelling. Brewster accepted this ultimatum with fairly good grace, and while hunting for another house conceived the idea o1 redecorating the apartment at 2a Laura street. He is said to have se- cured some grey paint and to have applied it to the paper and woodwork iQ uVe rOoIQS. Ine aEtuat appilcatioF of the paint was a good job, but upon close inspection by Mrs. Legiere about a week later it was found that the paint came off when touched with the hands or clothing. It was then that Mrs. Legiere started the trouble fol Brewster which resulted in his arrest last night.
 A complete Investigation of the case is being made by the detective bu- reau, and in order that this may be completed, the city court today grant ed a continuance until July 15.

MILLIONS OF
 WHITE FISH IN
 SOUND WATERS
Great School of Them Are Seen by Ship-Men-Fore- runner of Good Fishing
 Days, the Waterwise Say.

The waters of the harbor and Long Island Sound are alive with white fish also known as menhaden or moss-bunkers and boats plying in the 1arbor run into fmmense schools of these fish on every trip.
 Even the bathers at Fairfield Beach and the beaches along the Milford shore see them jumping out of the water in close proximity.
 According to fishermen this return of white fish to local waters means that the fishing for blues and mack eral will be the best in a number of years as these voracious fishes are known to follow the white fish along the coast and are continually attack ing them for food.
 The menhaden fishing fleet which usually operates on the south shore of Long Island are now making great catches in the Sound off Bridgeport one boat taking over 250,000 fish yesterday.
 These fish are taken to factories in Long Island where fish oils, glue and fertilizers are made of them. They are so long and oily that they are undesirable for human food.
 About 30 years ago there were sev- eral of these factories along the Con- necticut coast at Charles Island welch's Point and Norwalk where 8 great quantity of fertilizer was turned out each year. The stench from these factories, when the wind was from the south, was so great however that they were closed on protest from persons living in the ne1ghbor- hood
