Of the many calls for assistance
that come to the Salvation Army; of
the many troub1e-laden folks that
come to Commandment Dermody with
a. plea that he help them, it is doubt
full if any have been so full of hu-
L, interest. have carried so much
of the tragedy that breaks on the
lives of the foreigners who come to
our shores as is the story of Samuel
Rappoport, now operating a lace
machine in one of Bridgeport's big
factories. But now thanks to the
interest of Commandant Dermody
and the efforts of reporter on the
staff of the Times, the troubles of
ms humble Polish Jew seem almost
at an end and he will soon be reunit-

Almost ten years ago, Rappoport,

managed to secure money for his

It was then that the real trouble
for the harrassed man began; Wnen
1890 in the morning he found him
in tears, hope completely gone. HIS
money was in a savings bank ana
which demanded the usual 81. Gays
notice of withdrawal. A quick trip TO
a banker friend brought the cheerful
assurance that he knew OF no way
around that 80 day clause. Friends
who had the money and VINO Wouin
gladly have furnished it were In the
savings bank and there was no nope
there. But reporters are resource
full and this reporter had found that
even bankers have hearts ana TINS
time he decided to try out the presi-
dent of the biggest savings bank in
New York. In a few minutes the
president was on the telephone and
the case stated. The reporter hao
guessed right and was switched 20
another wire where he again pleaded
the case. The man at the bank was a
regular man. "In a case like that
will stretch +; the rules , until they they
your man" In two hours more the
savings account was withdrawn; an
other hour the tickets secured and
cabled; and five minutes before the
big doors of certain Delaney
street bank shut for the day the
cable was accepted which carried
$500 to the family at Warsaw.
Followed a long caDle telHnS Cnem
of all that had been done and three
tired, but happy men sat down on
the curb regardless of the crowds to
rest and congratulate each other.
Sam Rappoport is back at his lace
machine and over in Warsaw, the
soldiers of American Relief Admfnis-
tration have by this time handed out
one Of their biggest food packages;
the American Consul is being urged
to hurry the passports: and speeding

werp to be on the look out for Malka
Rappoport and five children headed
for Bridgeport. The tickets cost just
$64O and $1,000 figured by the local
agency.
In his spare hours out in STAFFORD
on Thompson street, a happy but
anxious husband is devoting all his
spare time to cleaning and brushing
that home. Be it known that he has
saved enough and found time to
erect a three-family apartment house
during these nine years working IN
Bridgeport shops
The combination of Salvation
Army facilities sided and apetted by
newspaper resourcefulness hroke
down every obstacle and solved what
seemed to Sam Rappoport the inn
possible feat. Needless to be said
that the reporter will be on the dock
when that family arrives in New
York. Need one call attention to the
kind and thrift that Samuel Rarpc-
mart has disDlayed?

Bridgeport Man who
Had His Troubles

autumn of 1913 he purchased and
sent to Poland a steerage ticket for
him to come. Delays occurred in his
starting SO that he drifted along
killed.
In April 1914 the time arrived
when Rappoport was at last able
to realize his ambitions and tickets
sent to Antwerp. A home was ready
here and in only a. few weeks the
happy husband and his friends ex
pected to celebrate the arrival of the
thing was all ready for their arrival
But with blow that shattered all
his hopes came the news of the
breaking of the world war and the
out of Europe. 1t was crushing
blow. one that would have discour-
aged most men, but Sam Rappoport
was a soldier in the Russo : japanese

their support, then the United States
of hope of getting out. or of getting
mo-ey TO them was cut off.
For almost four years there was
but meager news. Sometimes for
a word. After the armistice was
signed he was able again to com
municate with the family and found
to his great joy they were still un-
harmed and still waiting the day
when they could leave Poland for
America. Their faith in the husband
and father had never wavered and
their first letter to him was bur
dened with expressions Of love for
him and hope that they would yet be
able to come to him. Two months
ago a friend returned to Poland and
with him ne carried a large sum Of
money from the husband to his wife.
BESIDES the money he carried also all
the necessary papers and affidavits
from Wa shington to enable them to
get. their passportsr out of Po-
land.
A letter came back quickly to the
effects that the money and papers
had reached them but that they were
preparing to flee from their native
VILLAGE before the fast Z advancing
Bo1shevik army and would let them
know when they had found a new
retreat. Then followed days and
nights of agonizing waiting for the

Rappoport had lived and worked and

Editor of Times:
A few ideas on the jitney-tro1ley
question. The whole mass of advo-
Gates of the jitneye should CONSOLE
date as one unanimous body of voters
and appeal to Mayor Wilson as fol-
lows: We propose to establish q
jitney line, viz, Attic street, Grand
street. Maplewood avenue, Beech
wood avenue via Hancock avanoe:
End, line via. IraniStan avenue
from North avenue to the park; 3rd
a line from the corner of Iranistan
avenue to South avenue via South
avenue, Water street and Middle
street and Housatonic avenue to
Grand street. On these three lines
we carry at all times in non-crowd-
ed cars, all applicants at five cent
fares and give from each line to the
other transfers. Also we will put
in feeder lines at such times and
places as the public may call for and
support. This layout if called for by
the voters can be established There
is no doubt this would put the troll
ley company where it should go-into
each million dollars of the present
inflated stock Then, with the
Bridgeport division a separate unit

and 10 per cent. dividends be paid

FAvoRs DEATH PENALTY.

10 the Editor OF The Times:
Is not the world better rid of those
criminals, either men or women,
who. with their proper intellect have
committed premeditated murder and
who have paid the extreme penalty Z?
There is but one answer to this
great question and it is in the affirm
atiye Capital punishment is. the
and the greatness of human life is
upheld.
Does not the inviolabiIity of hu-
man life become a mere farce if the
lives of murderers are held to be
sacred in the prisons of this and 9TH
er countries, men and women with
blood upon their hands, watched
over by keepers and doctors, fed with
the best of food and nothing too
good for them?~
ment that capital punishment has
never and never shall cause de-
crease in this crime, they plea for
reformatory punishment rather than
punishment prompted by revenge,
but the Anti-Abolitionists say that
marked decrease in wilful murder if
it were not for the lax administration
and to the second question they an
swer that punishment should be pre-
ventive rather than reformatory.
"a stitch in time saves nine"
Yet there are exceptions to this
law, those who are feeble minded,
those who lack their proper intellect,
those who are subnormal and those
who are subject to violent fits Of pas
sion should not be judicially executed
because they are victims of misfor-
tune and not responsible for their
