From each idol that would keep US,

In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toll and hours of ease,
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
''That we love Him more than

Jesus calls US; by Thy mercies,
Savious, make US hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thine obedience,
Serve and love Thee best OF all.

LOCAL YACHTSMEN
ATTENDING RACE

Among the Bridgeport people who
went down to Sandy Hook today to
watch the International Yacht cup
race was Wilson Marshall of Marina
park, the well known yachtsman, who
is a close friend of Sir Thomas Lip
ton. Mr.. Marshall went to the race
in his own yacht which is one of
the finest craft on the Atlantic sea-
board.
Some Bridgeporters may follow
the race in airplanes which intend to
follow the yachts, offering seats for
unusually high prices. The major
ity of local yachtsmen, however, will
follow the race in the newspapers.
There is quite a bit of local interest
and the feeling prevails that America
will again win the interna tional tro-
ply.
Senator George B. Clark left for
the boat races, with a party of
friends, aboard his yacht, 3@Top," at
o'clock this morning from the dock
at the foot of East Main street with
Captain Linstrom as the skipper of
the Top Senator Clark's guests
included Richard Brown, William
Shaugnessy, Richard Opel. DR.. Phil
and DIR. William Mclaughlin. Daniel
I. Mcnamara. John H. Heaphy. Rob-
ert E. Donnelly, Samuel B. Plotkin,

BULLET SKATERS
VALUABLE GEMS

New York. July Is : Three dia-
monds of a $4,000 collection bought
from Tiffany & Company by Gunnel
Mum of Radnor, Pa. were found
shattered today by a .3S calibre bull
let as they lay in the box in which
they were delivered. Mr.. Mum
bought the gems for his wife, who is
a daughter of Deputy Police Commis-
sioner Rodman Wanamaker of this
city.
A hole in the red plush case show
ed where the bullet entered. The
shattered diamonds were worth
$4,000. Police are seeking to deter
mine whether the bullet was fired into
the jewel case before or after it was
delivered.
The express company which de-
livered the gems disowned RESPONSE
bility in the matter, recalling that in
September, 1919, a bomb was receiv-
ed at the home of Mrs. Rodman
Wanamaker, wife OF the police Off
cia1, from a former employe. Off
cials of the company believe someone
had in mind the Wanamaker bomb
and fired a shot into the jewel box
to ascertain if it contained explosives

FEWER DEATHS

The deaths of infants under yeGr
Of age for the present month SO f<r
is not very high, there having bea
only ten deaths recorded at the Be-
reau of Vital Statistics from July / to
date. 1t is the usual happening st
this time of the year for the infaEt
mortality rate to be very high due to
diseases incidental to the extreme hsa
weather which produces fatal sicE-
nesses among infants.
The records of the department for
the past eight years show that there
were 40 deaths of infants under 1 yess
for the month of July in 1912; 50 IA
1913; 43 in 1914; 81 in 1915; only 81 n
1915; So in 1917; 81 in 1918, and only Is
for last year. The high mark of 1893
was explained by Health Officer De
William H. Coon due to the epA-
demic of the so-called Spanish Inf1u-
enza."
THE outlook for the present month
is very encouraging so far said DIP.
Coon this morning. 1--WE have givaea
a lot of attention to the matter of re-
ducing the infant mortality rate th9s
year and with only ten deaths record.
ed in the first half of the month it Ia
almost safe to say that the actual
deaths of the entire month for this
year will be lower than the 1918 req
ord of 25 which is the lowest the des
partment has recorded in eight years. q

St Swit1ain came in with the vets

rains today it will rain the next forty
days It rained last year on st.
Swithin's day and it also rained in
termittently for eighty days.
The old legend says nothing, how
ever, about hail storms. There was
peach of a hail storm along about $50
this morning and the hail stones,

though they were pebbles. Now II IL

if it nails? It is possible that we may
have twenty days of hail.
But so long as the jitney trouble
and the yacht race don't stay around
for forty days everybody will be
happy.

They Used Him To Do

Edward o. Cronan, of the Detective
department. and that they chose
him to do the '"getting,' former AS
sistant Superintendent of Police
Charles H. Suckley, in a statement
made this noon to hundreds of po-
lice officers who had gathered in the
City court room. declared that he
had absolutely nothing to do with
the suspension of Captain Cronan. He
further declared that the police
commissioners took an unfair advan-
tage of him in the entire matter.
The meeting was called this noon
for the purpose of holding farewell
ceremonies in honor of Supt. John
II. Redgate, Assistant superintendent
Charles H. Suck1ey, Captain Edward

'JitncyS Run On
Old Routes And
None Arrested
Representatives of the
Trolley Company, the
City and the Jitney
Men Hold a Three
Hour Conference at
the Mayor S Office Try
ing to Reach An
Agreement.

The trolley cars were run
ming this morning and all day
and the jitneys and the .jitney
busses were all running on
their accustomed routes. And
there were no arrests of lit
neurs.
The reason why there no ar
rests was that Mayor Wilson
had called to a conference at
his office representatives of
the trolley company, counsel
for the jitney men and repre-
sentatives of the jitney men.
This conference was in pro-
gress for nearly three hours
this morning and when those
Who were in attendance left
the office of the mayor thew
said they had nothing to give
out for publication.
The conference broke I'D at
two O'Clock and it was an
nounced then that there was
no chance of an agreement and
that affairs would have to take
their course.
1t is expected that the iitney
men will ask for an Injunction
at once.
The conference, in so far as it
could be learned, had to do with the
proposition that the jitney men ac-
cept some other routes than those
now used and than those named in the
ordinance passed Monday night At
lunch time the matter did not seem
to have been decided for after the
conferees had left siayor Wilson
called some of them back into his
office again for another conference.
1t, is believed that the mayor has
decided to call another meeting of
the board of aldermen al once to pass
another ordinance realizing that the
one passed at Monday nights meet
ing is not legal in that it was chang
ed after it was passed.
Counsel for the jitney men. it was
learned this morning had already
prepared a request for a court injunc-
ton against the city preventing the
authorities from enforcing the ordi-
nance on the ground of it's iIlegaIity
but in view of the conference this
morning the request was not present
ed to the court

A yachting amanda gathered off
the hook today for the first Americas
cup race in IT years.
Private craft, excursion boats and
hirplanes speeding southwark across
New York bay found nesting behind
the great sand pit two sloops that are
the pride of Britain and America
Shamrock w, challenger, with sleek
green sides, and Resolute, defender,
dazzling in her coat of white.
Aboard them were Captain William
p. Burton and his crew of British
tars, and Captain Charles Francis
Adams, End, of Boston, with his
Yankee sailormen. White clad fig
ures gazed ahoft, scanning the heav-
ems for clouds that betokened winds
favorable or unfavorable.
With the start set for noon from
the Ambrose Channel light vessel, the
rival shippers conversed with their
navigators regarding weather and
wind conditions which would deter
mine the course to be set them by the
race committee They knew that the
rules called for a windward and lee
ward course Of thirty miles but by the
direction of the wind alone would the
course charted.
Both shippers were hopeful OF
bringing the races to a brisk and de-
cisive close with three straight vic
tories but both were prepared to sal

In her almost barren hold tn
Shamrock stored her mascots. The.

Sir Thomas Upton, making hi

weather and remarked:
''If the wind will hold It's presen
strength I will ask nothing bette
for my Irish challenger. The Sham

Captain Burton had his crew u
with the sun and before o'clock
boatload of sailors were on thei
way from the tender Killarney t
the challenger to remove sail cover
and send headsails up with stops.
