KICKED ON TAG
HELD FOR HEARING

N. T. G:ttinan of SIS Church street,
Greenwich, who was arrested yester
day at the corner of Golden Hill and
Main streets was in the City Court
this morning before Judge Bartlett
on charges of operating a motor
vehicle while under the influence of
liquor.
Gittinan had parked his car on
Main street and when he saw the tag
that summoned him to Police Head
quarters he professed not to under
stand its meaning so he drove up to
the traffic officer on duty at the cor
ner to make fuss over it. The po-
liceman noticed that the man was
under the influence of liquor SO he
arrested him and took him to Police
Headquarters. Gttinan is. employed
as a chauffeur for a Greenwich pri-
vate family and was on his way to a
summer resort in Massachusetts,.
In the City Court this morning
Judge Bartlett continued the case
over until tomorrow under 800
bonds.

AUTOS HERE
ONUMBER
OF 10000
About $1,000 Pleasure Cars
Alone Are Owned By Res
idents of Bridgeport

There are approximately $4,000
pleasure cars in this city at the pres
ent time according to figures given
out at the Bridgeport branch of the
Department of Motor Vehicles in po-
lice headquarters this morning.
The actual number of registrations
that have been made at the local Office
between the 1st of January and up to
the 1st of August show that there
are 1o,4S0 pleasure cars listed; SOIL
commercial motor vehicles; $50 pub
lie service vehicles or jitney buses;
619 motorcycles and 423 side cars.
OF the actual number of pleasure car
registrations the number does not
show the exact number of machines
of this type in the city due to the
fact that a number of these cars are
listed from the Hartford Office The
same rule holds good in the case of
the $50 registra ations of public service
motor vehicles as a number of extra
buses were brought into the city
when the trolleys stopped running
that had been listed in other Con-
necticut cities.
The records further show that there
were 1929 persons who applied for
HceDSeS to drive aUtDm ObfleS ana 52o
who made application to drive motor
cycles The total number of persons
who applied for licenses to drive jit-
neys was S49. The approximate NUM-
ber of jitneys that are operating in
this city at the present time is given
500 by the department in their re-
port Tho amount of business that
has been transacted since January /
to August 1 was $206, ,669- 75- While this
amount is unusually large the state
records show that New Haven leads
Bridgeport by about $50, 900. Business
in the department has shown a large
increase over the business of last year
due to the added number of new cars
that have come into this city.
There is listed in the report figures
that show there were 1,o71 motor We.
hicles transferred or sold to other
parties OF this number 261 were OF
the commercial type and los were

Gov. HOlC0mb Lonesome And
Neglected At Danbury Meet
Saws He Will Take A Rest
Declares the Ladies Are
With Him and He Knows
That They'll Get the Vote
At This Election.
By a Staff Writer.)

Danbury, Aug. ST hope my name
won't be mentioned at the convention.
need a rest and am going to take
It," said Governor Marcus H- Holcomlb
to a. Times representative yesterday
when asked If he would again be
candidate. You know didn't want
to run two years ago. I told them
needed a. rest, but they insisted that
as our country was at war it was my
duty to run and acceded to their
wishes, but now I am going to take
the rest that I need They say that I
am handicapped because I woEsS not
get the women's votes. Why, twice as
many women would vote for me as
would for the other fellow.
The governor did not arrive in time
for the meeting of the State Commit
tee, but arrived at the Fair Grounds
about O'Clock and mingled Socially
with the mass of people at the
grounds.
The way Governor Holcomb was al
lowed to wander around the grounds
unattended by any of the upstate
leaders and apparently ignored by the
factions opposed to the Roraiback re-
gime was noticeable. For minutes at
a time the Governor would stand
alone and then some kind soul notic-
ing his isolation would come forward
and engage him in conversation.
To remark of The Times man that
he had not seen John T. King around
the grounds the Governor said. No,
guess he amt here. I haven't seen
| Cliff Wilson either. Is he here?'
| When informed that Mayor Wilson
was present the Governor said, rs
| that so? I'd like to see him"
After the Merritt dinner the Gov
ernor made a neat little speech on the
platform which had been erected in
front of the grand stand, saying, Il
! am glad to see so many ladies pres
| ent. I'm gladder to see the ladies
perhaps than they are to see me. /
| admire the ladies and want to see
them get the vote and they are going
! to get it and then they are going to
vote at the next election for the Re-
publican ticket

State T0E Enforce
Rigidly Law {! On
Bus Overlooking
Commissioner Stoecke1
Says He Will Do So AS
a Matter of>Protection
to the Passengers
Jitneymen Kick on
Story of Lack of .Jit-
neys, Police and the
Permits.

There will be a large force of
agents of the state automobile de-
partment in Bridgeport in few days
sent here for the purpose of enforc-
ing the law against the overcrowding
of jitneys. Commissioner Stoeckel
told Times reporter that at Dan
bury yesterday and he said he pro
posed to enforce the overcrowding
law because, if there were accidents
damages could not be collected if the
accidents occur while the jitneur is
violating the law.
The officials of the jitney bus as.
SociationS claim that the story in the
morning papers of lack of transpor-
tation accommodations on North
Main street is without any founda-
ton. They say that the accommo-
dations are sufficient to carry all pas
sengers and the only trouble that
they have in handling the crowds
during the rush hours is that nearly
everyone wants to board the first bus
that comes along and crowd when
there are usually several other half
empty buses within a short distance
back for which the passenger will
not wait.
Considerable adverse criticism was
given to the stand which the local
police have taken on the issuing of
consents to drivers which are prelin1-
mary to the issuance of a State Pub
! lie Service license.
The local police refuse to grant the
consents unless the applicant is IA
mfltar with all the streets in the city
| while the driver who comes from
| Hartford New Haven and Water bury
| with a state license can run on the
streets without even seeing the
| Bridgeport police.
] Of he
| police will be to compel the appli-
| cants to go to some other city, and
| get the reauired consent Al when "a
| state license will be issued which au-
| thorizes the holder to operate in this

SILENT COPS TO
BE ADDED TO
ENL ARCED FORCE

The Is patrolmen who were shifted
from regular patrol duty to the traffic
division under orders from Superin-
tendent of Police Flanagan yesterday
started in on their new duties this
morning as did the three new motor
cycle cops who were also appointed
yesterday. The new members of the
motorcycle squad are Patrolmen
Herman, F'alvy and Whealen. The
new traffic cops had a session at head
qua rters with Captain James Walker
this morning and were instructed in
their new duties, after which they
drew assignments to various posts.
It was said at police headquarters
this morning that numerous requests
have been received in the past week
for the establishment of traffic posts
at different corners in the city where
there are '1bfind corners and where
citizens think that traffic officer
should be stationed. If all the re-
quests were granted the traffic division
would have to be increased by the
assignment of nearly double the force
that now come under the department
according to police officials.
The police are working on a plan
now whereby the situation will be re-
lieved somewhat by placing silent
COPS at number of these corners.
