Were Not in Court At Opening Hour and the. Cases Go Over-Sum-! monses Served Only in Cases of Extreme Violation, the Inspec- tors Say.
(Bridgeport, Conn, July 30. ]

tBrldSepOrt, COnn.f July 30) f
 Three inspectors of the State Motori Vehicle department arrived unex- pectedly in Bridgeport yesterday afternoon, and during a wholesale in-i spection of jitney buses summoned eight drivers to appear in court to answer charges of overcrowding. The officers stationed themselves at Bar mum and Noble avenue and in State and North Main streets, where they stopped many machines. Summonses were served only in cases of extreme overcrowding.
 Those served with summonses were Joseph Caserta, George RosenieId, Herman Gussenhoden. James 6ydis-i kis, Robert Manthey, George Sweitzer, Robert T. Young and Edward Kee1ey, all of Bridgeport. It is alleged that the machines which these men were driving were heavily overloaded, in some instances more than double the allowed number of passengers being carried. According to- the summonses, all of the drivers were ordered to appear in l the City court at o'clock this morn Ing. lnasmuch as the court convenes at S:3o o'clock, none of the drivers ar rived on time, and the cases were therefore continued until tomorrow morning.
 | J1tneymen were up in arms over the arrests last night, some going so far l as to claim that the action was brought about by the Connecticut company in an effort to hinder jitney i transportation in Bridgeport The state inspectors claimed this morning, however, that the jitneurs had re- ceived plenty of warning against over- crowding and were well aware of the fact that they would be prosecuted if l the practice was continued. The in- spectors explain ed further, that sum- ! monses were served only in extreme cases of violation, and action was taken merely to protect the passen- gers in the machines.
 In view of the present emergency the local police were instructed to use common sense" in making arrests | for violation of the overcrowding law. 1 Up to the present time not a single
 driver has been arrested for this of 1 fense by the city authorities.
 The serving of summonses did moi interfere with drivers completing
 their runs yesterday afternoon, and jitney traffic was not seriously dis
 rupted by the action of the state of
 ficials. Buses continue to operate
 today, and all drivers have been in.
 structed to obey as near as possible :. every state law.
 The state inspectors who served summonses yesterday were c. c Thatcher, John Marsh, Jr., and Johr
 Edgarton. The men are said tc
 have been operating under direct or.
 ders from Robbins V. Stoeckel, state commissioner of motor vehicles.

New York. July 30-The worlds supply of international postal cou- pons is not large enough to enable any person to accumulate the fortune which Charles Ponzi claims to have made according to Postmaster Patten.

BOTH SUED FOR
 DIVORCE; LOSE

New Haven, July 3o-The di- vorce litigation between Laura ". Neff and Joseph L. Neff was declared a draw in judgment rendered by Judge John P. Kellogg in the civil side of the superior court yesterday. The memorandum of the court, which heard the case recently, follows:
 While there can be no doubt from the evidence that this couple led an unhappy married life, marked by many quarrefs, and while I fear that no possible hap piness in the marriage relation is left for them after this trial, with it's mutual charges. one against the other, yet I cannot find that the plaintiff has proved that her husband has treated her with into1erable cruel ty, within the legal meaning of that phrase, and on the other hand the defendant has failed utterly to prove his wife guilty of misconduct either in Stamford or New Haven. Judg- ment is therefore to be entered for the defendant upon the complaint and for the plaintiff upon the cross complaint"

Harry Cory's Report for Zion

The Zionist Organization made public
yesterday report by Harry Thomas
Cory. an engineer, who recently went TO
Palestine uron the invitation of Justice
Louis d. Brandeis to investigate irriga-
ton possibilities there and to study Nile
River irrigation projects.
Mr.. Cory said his findings were in
complete accord with those of Sir Will
lam Wilcox, head of the Nile projects
commission of the Egyptian Government.
and Prof. r. II. Forbes of the University
Of Nebraska. a student of desert irriga-
ton.
The natural resources of Palestine, he
said. are greater than those of Southern
California and are ca"able of supporting
decertly about 100000 reople.
'"The western slope of Palestine is nat
urally better than the Southern Califor-
MIA region in and about Los Angeles,
which has made possible that city's
rapid development" said Mr.. Cory. THE

company would be enabled hereafter to
maintain their schedules He found
about $4,000 tons of freight tied up i'm
the harbor on nearly 100 ship lighters.
Mr. Carse said that among the causes
of the freight jam were the slowness
and reluctance of merchants to receive
goods bought at high prices and the In
ability of the banks to make accommo-
dations. Cuba was suffering from re-
adjustment. but there was no one who
did not believe the island was prosper

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Operation OF
the United States postal service for the
fiscal year 1920 resulted in a deficit of
s17.270,4S2. the second largest in the
history of the service. Postmaster-Gen-
eral Burleson shows in his annual re-

ment are placed at s454.322, 500 and rev.
enues at s437,15O.212.
The Postma ster- General charges Con-
gress with direct responsibility for the
deficit. explaining that the expenditures
included approxim tely s33. 202,600 paid
as war bonus 70 postal employees and
st-ting that bit for this there would
have been a surplus of s1S,427,917. Mt.
Burleson says he declined to approve the
bonus action of the legislative depart
ment, adding that he had offered sug-
gestions of another plan for compensat-
ing the employees which would have
served the purpose without at the same
time giving a blanket Increase in pay

THE Postmaster-G General feels con-
strained to point out that If a prompt
halt is not called and such policy is
persisted in there will be deficiency
for the next fiscal year of approximately
$40, 900, 900, and the postal establishment
will cease to be self-supporting, as II
should be. and will become a constantly
increasing burSen upon the general
Treasury"
Refe. ence also is made TO the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Comm ssion
granting the railways additional pay
aggregating sS,103,SS9 for carrying the
