BELIEVE UNKNOWN
 FELL FROM TRAIN

Investigations are being carried on by Coroner John J. Phelan, as to the identity of the man who was found dead, on the west bound tracks, near South Norwalk, Sunday morning. The body was found with the top of the head badly crushed, and laying near the track. No evidences of foul play could be found.
 He has been identified by several workmen on the railroad as a sec ton hand. Several men thought he was a man named Clinton Delaney, but the testimony of one workman stated that Delaney had tatto marks on his left arm. The unidentified body was not marked in that way.
 The name "L. J. Langue" which was sewed on his underwear was the only clue found. The sum of S14 was also found in his pocket. His clothes were in fairly good condi- tion. He is described as appearing about 32 years of age, and is dark.
 The cause of his death has not as vet been ascertained, but physicians believe it was caused by falling from a train Besides the injuries to the head, there were no other serious in- juries.
 The authorities believe that the man was one of gang brought to the camp conducted for the section hands, near Norwalk. The chef and his assistant, both identified the man, as being a section hand. The chef, Simm stated that on Saturday morning he gave him a pork sand wich. Upon investigation, such a sandwich was found near the scene of the fatality.
 The body is at present in Wren's s Undertaking parlors, South Norwalk awaiting Identification. = The police authorities are also Investigating the matter.

There will be no special session of the Board of Aldermen next week to pass a new jitney regulating or dinance, Any new legislation will have to wait for the regular August meeting which will be held one week from next Monday night.
 In the meantime nothing will be done by the city officials to induce the Connecticut company to continue it's service beyond the time stated in the last communication of President l.. S. Storrs to Mayor Wilson in which he said that the company would not continue the service later than next Monday unless the compe- tition of the jitneys was removed by that time.
 ''We have exhausted every effort" said Mayor Wilson today and nothing further will be done have every reason to believe that the cars will stop Monday.
 There would be no sense in call ing a special meeting of the aldermen
 at the present time as under the
 ruling of Judge Banks we must law
 out routes for the jitneys and these
 routes must be passed affirma lively
 by the aldermen and not left to the
 police commissions ners'' It Will take considerable time to lay out the routes, but believe that they can be laid out so as to accom- pl1sh the same results as was intended by the ordinance which Judge Banks decided was null and void.'' The officers of. the Park City Bus Association will go to Hartford to hold a conference with Robbins B. Stoeckel, Motor Vehicle Commissioner to obtai n temporary markers for
 buses which will be brought to this city to handle the traffic Monday. There will be about 300 of these ex- tra buses and the jitney men believe that Commissioner Stoeckel wiM issue temporary markers. In case he re- fuses to issue them the new buses cannot operate here
 Its entirely up to Commissioner Stoeckel," said Harry Frank, presi- dent of the Park City Bus Association this morning. We have the buses ready to come to the city at our call and they will be here in time to Ina IT, dle traffic Monday morning. As soon as we are assured that the temporary , markers will be issued we will call the buses to Bridgeport.
 "We could not get buses operating g in other cities in this State. to come l here that would cause trouble in the cities that were left without their usual means of transporta tion.'

 The Bolsheviki right wing has occupied Seiny, northwest of Grodno and about thirty miles from the near est point on the German frontier. The Bolsheviki have taken Grodno and Bielostok, 110 miles from Warsaw, while in the south they have entered Eastern Ga1icia-
 The Ministry of Premier Grabski is reported to have resigned. The ad- ministration has been entrusted to eX- treme radicals, it is reported, with the idea that such a government would be better able to make terms with the invaders. Preparations are being made for the evacuation of Warsaw.
 Emphasis is laid on the danger of the peace of all Europe by most Of the newspa Ders. Fear is expressed that if the Bo1sheviki reach the east ern frontier of Germany a spartacist or monar cilist rising there would be inevitable. Some papers fear the German militalry party would make itself master of the Bolsheviki or garization and Russia herself.

WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE
His Three Days Fun Was Not
Exorbitant.

At last little Freddy was allowed to
visit grandpa all alone. They were
great friends, and had long waited for
the great day.
Freddy had the time of his life.
Grandpa saw that he wanted for
nothing. The small boy ate more
cream buns in those three days than
he would otherwise have done in three
years, while his pockets bulged all the
time with candies.
But there comes an end to every
thing, and Freddy went home again,
pale yellow of complexion, and languid
and feverish. Mother promptly sent
for the doctor, who ordered him to
bed, and sent him some very unpleas-
ant, but doubtless healing medicine.
Grandpa came next day and was
permitted to creep upstairs to see how
the sufferer was faring. He found the
small boy lying wan and pale on his
pillow, but received a watery smile as
welcome.
"Oh, grandpa" said the weak little
voice, I've been awfully bad-but it
was worth it."
