ASKS 5000 FROM
CITY FOR A FALL

A suit for 5000 damages against
the City Of Bridgeport is being
brought by Annie Orlich, of this city,
who claims that she has suffered a
permanent injury to her right leg, by
falling last February on the slippery
pavement, on Cannon street, between
Main street and Broad street.
The plaintiff claims that on Feb
ruary IL, she was walking near the old
Post building, on Cannon street, at
2:3O o'clock in the afternoon, and be
cause of the slippery condition of the
sidewalk fell. At the time she re-
ceived a fracture to her right leg, lost
three teeth, and was considerably
bruised on different parts of her body,
besides suffering severe shock to her
nervous system
Because of the injury to her leg, she
claims she is unable to conduct the
boarding house which she did pre-
vious to the injury, and claims dam
ages from the city for $4,000.

Shipping Board Defrauded
OF Thousands OF Dollars

and $4,000 for repairs was made. AS
a result of this campaign at least one
arrest is expected when q certain ship
arrives in New York.
There are 23 lines under the Ship
ping Board which have vessels call
ing at ports in this Jurisdiction There
are on an average % vessels on hand
at all times. The average cost for
maintaining these is from $1,000 to
$4,000 each per day. Before the war
an American vessel the River
Platte was a curiosity.
Since the Shipping Board had no
offices of it's own to take charge OF
it's vessels in ports throughout the
world continued Captain Garden, at
was usually necessary to entrust the
care of it's ships to established agen-
cies. Many of these steamship
agents had already for years been tn g
representatives of foreign and posi-
bly, competing lines. The result has
been that in many cases American
vessels have been held back while
other ships were given the prefer
ence, causing the expenses of Ameri-
can ships to mount up through port
charges and lost time.
I'm all River Platte ports losses
from this source have been very
great as well as those through over
charges for supplies. repairs and so
forth. There is one case on record
where an American ship was held up
for months for repairs and charges
totaling about 100000 were piled up
against her. But we are seeing to it
now that Shipping Board vessels get
into port and get away again with out
unnecessary delay. The saving to the
Shipping Board from this attention
undoubtedly will be several hundred
thousand dollars annually.
Agents who have the interests of
other nationalities more at heart than
American are coming to learn that

Buenos Aires, Aug. 5-The United
States Shipping Board has been de-
frauded of many thousands of dollars
through practices which amount to
systematic fleeing" of Shipping
Board vessels in the River Platte
trade, according to reports to the
board by Captain G. L. Garden, special
representative of the Shipping Board
Emergency Fleet in Buenos Aires.
Captain Garden, accompanied by
Captain of Engineers L. G. Farwel1,
arrived here a month ago to take
charge and protect the boards in
terests. when I arrived here he

ping industry seemed to be in gen
eral agreement to mulct the Shipping
Board vessels to the limit.
The Shipping Board is rich,' they
said. We will get what we cam Ac-
cording1y the board was charged for
things not received, and overcharged
for things received until it became so
obvious that I was ordered to this
port to take charge. In receiving my
orders I was told that while the board
appreciated the fact that expenses OF
all sorts were high in Buenos Aires
and Montevideo. still, it felt that there
must be something wrong when their
vessels paid such prices, for instance,
as 81 a pound for butter.
1T seems that the practice was,
when a Shipping Board vessel appear
ed in the roads and signalled its desire
to enter. for those who had hopes of
selling the vessels supplies to prepare
for a plucking of the golden goose.
The result was that when the vessel
cleared bills were presented to the
steamship agents, and promptly paid
since it was Shipping Board money
for every conceivable item at prices
based on nothing except desire to
obtain easy money.
Our arrival put a quick and ef-
fective stop to all this. We now have

purchases of supplies or expenditures

many items. Conditions formerly
were so bad that I have even heard
that in some cases food was thrown
