BABY MAY
 FIND GOOD
 HOME HERE

If the police do not succeed in To- eating the mother of the eight-weeks- old baby which came to Bridgeport in a black leather travelling bag Sunday night, the infant may find a good home in Bridgeport It was said this morning, that several people have all ready expressed their desire to legally adopt the child if its own parents are not found. Such an action would spare the child the fate of being turn ed over to some institution and brought up as a public charge.
 Police authorities of New York City informed the local police department last night that they are extending every effort to locate the mother of the homeless waif. It is the belief of the metropolitan police that the mother has left New York City, and that she will reconsider her heartless action of abandoning the baby to the care of strangers. Captain Edward O.. Cronin of the local detective depart ment said this morning that he be- lieved the chances of locating the mother were small.
 The baby is still at the Bridgeport hospital and appears to be having a very enjoyable time so far. He is the center of attraction for doctors, nurses and visitors to the institution.

 T tried to make Premier Lloyd George and others see that it is in the general interests of humanity to assist us and that cutting us up is an economic crime. As proposed in the treaty we should have no wood lumber, coal, salt, iron or oil. It is mockery to ask us to live after thess are taken away.

 The nationality principle is con structed in defiance of geography ana economics and also destroys the tra ditions of the people whom it cut: off from home.

INTRODUCES 9Il
 RESOLUTION
 AGAINST SIMS

 Admiral Sims must have and did consider these instructions, if they were given, to be of the most high ly confidential character, the reso- lution said, adding that his action in making them public deserved uni versal and unqualified disapproval.
 'I cannot but believe that whether the above aJdmon1tion was or was not given to Admiral Sims, the disclosure under almost any circumstance must receive the disapprova1 of every American,'' said Senator Walsh.
 Senator Mccormick, Republican, H. linois, declared the resolution affected @ matter that was to be later investt- gated dby a subcommittee, and Sen ator Lodge objected to consideration of the resolution on the grounds thai 1t contained grave charges against one of the most prominent officers 1n the American navy without giving him an opportunity to defend himself.

DENY MOTION
 TO DISCUSS PROCEEDINGS

Continued from Page One.) the resembling or modifying of the suspending resolutions. If the proceedings that excluded them were illegal" he said, "then the exclusion was not accomplished by the power of law, but by the power of violence
 He challenged a statement by com m1ttee counsel that the right to expel included the right to suspend. These proceedings, he declared, were not of the same class.
 1 He argued that examination of the l Shoot, LaFollette and Newberry cases | in the United States Senate showed it never even had been suggested that | the members under investigation | should have been suspended.
 1 The power exercised in this house l on the seventh of this month"; he | continued, was revolutionary | power, an unconstitutional power. It has no precedent in any parliament | ary or statute book. It was the exer-
 else of the power that would destroy
 representative government in your l state.''
 l John P. StanchfieId, associate coun- ] sel for the committee, followed MT
 Roe. He asserted that the latter's l 1 pending investigation was substan- tially the same as one made yester- | day by Morris Hillquit. chief of the socialist legal forces.
 MT. Stanchfeld said that with ar | investigation in progress into loyalty | of members, it would be beneath the
 dignity of the lower house to, le
 them retain their seats pending thu i trial and that even if there were nc | precedent, this case would warran
 stablishment of one.
 He declared committee counse
 would prove beyond the shadow O
 doubt that the charges against tn. | defendants were thorough, that the. are members of a party whose doc
 trines threatened "the utter and com
 plete annihilation of the power O
 the state.'
 When both sides had closed thei
 arguments, Chairman Martin an
 nounced the motion to reseat the de
 fendants pending trial had been de
 nied-the fourth overruled since tn opening of the investigation.

POLICE KNOW
 WHAT KIND OF
 PLACE ''STAR" IS

We know what kind of a place the Star cabaret is and we have tried to
 close 1t several times but we have never sueceeded,'' said Captain of Detectives Edward o. Cronin in speaking about
 the nefarious use to which a public
 place is put-5
 Captain Cronin went on to state that he had made Investigations of the Star and had found that they were not sell ! ing any liquor and there is no law in this state which forbils men mixing
 with women at tables in a public place. | Massachusetts has such a law and it l forbids any men entering public res- 1 taurant or cabaret and picking up a woman and sitting at a table with her. It is the opinion of the police that such @ law would be a good thing in | this state.
 1 The police officials state that the Star is well known hang out for evil | women and it. is there that they pick | up'' the men upon whom they depend I for their living.
 l Business men and the police are i both disgusted to think that such a l place can exist under the laws of this 1 State in the heart of any city. Such a place was more permissible under the whole regime of wines, beer and whiskey but with prohibition coming | and a public place being put to such 1 use so openly disgusts Bridgeports | best citizens.
 Anyone entering the Star cannot | help but see what the place is use6 for. In fact certain taxicab is kept l continually in front of the place fol 1 the use of those who have been in. side. Many take rides and still other: i are taken to a famous road house inside the Fairfield limits where tht | Bridgeport police are helpless ant | where certain members of the State | police have declined to act although
 they well know what is going on. Some people in this city have at tempted to defend the Star for senti mental reasons as they point out tha
 it is really the only place left from the ''old days" when such places flour
 ished. But the more modern perso1
 is convinced that such places as th'
 Star had better go as they are no
 only a menace to the morals of th'
 community but is a menace to th' health of both men and women a!
 municable diseases often start in thi !, way.
 These women have been driven iron the streets by the police and official
 of that department are pointing ou
 that it ys hardly in keeping with tn ? dignity of the community if such
 | place Is allowed to exist as 1t is noth ing more or less than a commo meeting ground for women of loos , morals and men of small intelligence

~ OUR FOOTBALL
TEAM WAS WEAK

ogalusa's High Schools football
yv....l fell down lamentably this year.
Booked to be the greatest team in
the history Of the school, several
young men, interested in athletics,
spent quite few "kopecks" for
suits and accessories. They induced
a number of former football players
to return to school and take post
graduate courses. The team, on pa
per was one of the best prep school
outfits in the South, but they forgot
several minor details, such as bona
fide students and the new faculty at
the High School.
The first games Of the season were
how ling successes-Verrina High of
NeE Orleans was swamped with
SEQ z Of $50; Poplarville Aggies, one
Ct he most formidable teams in this
M < Of the woods, went down at 10,
then the minor details" took
and. Out went the ''post-grad-
yates" and also Bogslusa's football
team.
The recognized outfit had the
same chance as football team as
prohibition in Cuba, and after one
