DRESSED BEEF
 IS GOING UP

A canvass of the city's wholesale meat and packing houses made this morning shows that there has not been any relief as yet from the short age of beef that has been worrying the people of Bridgeport for the past two weeks. Live stock receipts are not coming in and the situation in Bridgeport is the same as that of New York and other cities in this state said one of the local wholesale dealers when asked about the stua- tion this morning
 Within a fortnight the wholesale of dressed beef has risen about ten cents a pound, the present wholesale price averaging between 25 and 30 cents a pound. Frozen meats from New Zealand will probably arrive in the city this week and help to relieve the shortage. Retail dealers have been experiencing the greatest difh- culty in obtaining meats and have been forced to limit the supply to each customer in some instances.

WOMAN TAKEN
 BACK TO QUINCY
Bondsman Comes Here and Makes Mrs. Lombardi
 Return.

Mrs. Caroline Lombardi, of 8 Mar lin street, Milford, who was arrested here some time ago for the authori- ties of Quincy, Mass, will return |. to Quincy today in charge of her bonds- man and Captain Ernest H. Bishop, of the Quincy police.
 The decision to return the woman to Massachusetts was arrived at to- day after a protest had been made by Attorney Jacob B. Klein, her at- to-ney. Mrs. Lombardi is wanted in Qun.Sy for forfeiting bonds of $500 after she had been convicted of sell ing liquor and maintaining a nuis- ance. The woman was fined $100 and sentenced to six months in jail by the Massachusetts authorities, but she forfeited bonds after the case had been appealed.
 Mrs. Lombardi was arrested here shortly after Camelo Sako, also of 8 Marlin street, Milford, had been taken into custody or. the charge of being implicated in murder plot. The woman refused at the time to return to Massachusetts, on the grounds that she wished to appear as a witness for Sako, who is now awaiting trial in the Superior Court. The case was continued from day to day by the City Court. but the arrival of the woman's bondsman this morning put the matter in a different light, and made necessary her return to Quincy.

CAMPAIGN TO
 AID MOTHERS Board of Health Starts Big Educational Move
 ment.

A year round educational campaign has been started under the supervi- sion of the Board of Health by the Visiting and Home Nurses Associa- ton in the care of mothers who are not in a position to afford the best medical care according to an an- nouncement made by Health Officer Dr. William H. Coon this morning.
 Recently pr. Coon employed the submit a report on the maternal mortality rate of Bridgeport. His findings on the subject offer an in teresting comparison of the death rate of mothers in the city which was caused by child birth. In 1915 there were 27 deaths resulting from child
 birth in this city; 22 deaths in 1916; 29 in 1917; 32 in 1918 and 26 in 1919. Comparing these figures with the death rate resulting from diph- theria which is generally conceded as one of the most fatal sickncsses shows that the maternal mortality rate is just as serious and should be taken care of with proper medical treatment. In 1915 there were 32 deaths resulting from diphtheria among children; 23 in 1916; 24 in 1917; 32 in 1918 and AZ in 1919.
 In maternal cases the records show that death is mostly due to hemor- ages and blood poisoning which fol- low the ignorance of mothers in not giving themselves the proper care.

JENNINGS BEFORE COURT ON CONTEMPT CHARGE

Erwin M. Jennings was haled be- fore Judge Frank D. Haines in the Superior Court this morning on a charge of contempt of court in re- fusing to comply with an injunction issued last week which forbade the placing of a gasoline tank on liar rison Court adjoining his property
 After hearing the evidence, in which it appeared that the injunction was issued at the request of John L. Carpenter and was served about II o'clock last Wednesday morning on Jennings and that the tank was not placed in the ground until three hours after the papers had been served, Judge Haines said: '"The ob- vious intention of the court in issuing the injunction has been defeated. The intention of the, Court was to prevent the installation of the tank until the rights of the parties could be deter mined. And Jennings could have stopped it.'
 He was prohibited from doing this act It is obvious that good faith would have dictated that he come into court and have the questions ad- indicated"

 He says McAdoo is also handi- capped by This silence on the peace treaty. that he b unable to call to his support those to whom the pres ident's candidacy appealed with spec ial force.'' and that he would fur nish an easy mark for all of the presidents enemies"

Such a deVelOpm ent, It was agreed everywhere would hold many dra- patic possibilities, including a further complication of the uncertain out look as to the presidential nomina- ton.
 Already the overshadowing issue in pre-convention conferences, the question of a platform declaration against the bone dry law almost took the whole stage for itself today as the delegates heard of Postmaster Gen eral Burleson's announcement for modification of the Volstead act. By many accustomed to regard the post master general as a political spokes- man for the White House, the devel- opment was accepted as a warning of which way the wind of adninis- tration influence would blow.
 Others among the party leaders refused to take that view but no one here assun1ed to know with certainty how far the sentiments of President Wilson might be in accord with these of MT. Bur1eson.
 What everyone here does know, however, is that both sides of the controversy are cementing their lines and bringing their heaviest artillery for finish fight. After many con- for harmony Homer S. Cummings the National Chairman, said today it seemed to be flair bet' that the

 Closely intertwined with the pro- hibition question is the problem of selecting a nominee in accord with the platform as finally agreed on, and among many of the practical politi- clans there is a feeling that the two decisions must be settled virtually at one stroke. So the pleas of candi- dates managers are falling on deaf ears for the present while leaders get their bearings on the more inn mediate question of a bone dry or a beer platform.

 WOrkmen who were near the place at the time of the accident rushed to the scene and started to dig fof the buried man. More dirt gave away, and the men were forced to scramble for safety.
 Due to the nature of the ditch and the quicksand qualities of the soil. it was impossible for more than one man to operate in the rescue work. A laborer entered the hole ard after a few minutes shoveHng mai ged to free Forts head from the dif
 Working in relays, members of the gang succeeded about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon in clearing the dirt and sand away from the imprisoned man as far down as his waist. Fort was in a greatly weakened condition, and aromatic spirits of ammonia were given to him to prevent his losing consciousness.
 Police were called from the Firs precinct, and the officers ordered al traffic halted over the Grand stree bridge until the rescue had beer completed. An ambulance waited close by to rush the injured man tc the hospital as soon as he was taker from the hole. Bremen were sum. moned to the scene of the nishap but were unable to render any ma. terial aid. -; Fort, who is about 40 years of age has been employed by the Curtis Plumbing company, as a foreman, fol the past 15 years.
