The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-12-08

An officer of the Police Depart ment who made an investiga tion this morning, says that this was the direct way to remove the body. The stair permitted the most dignified re- moval.
 The Times, making a further inves- tgation upon it's own account, finds this statement substantially correct. The body could not have been remov- ed through the bank, which was clos ed at that hour of the morning, and if such removal had been feasible it would have required an undignified method of handling, since the body would necessarily have been held all most upright on the stretcher, while making the very narrow stairway that leads to the upper floor.
 For some reason or other Dr. Burns described the exit from the cellar as a "coal hole" though. in fact, it was nothing of the sort; but was, as has been stated, 6 broad and convenient exit to the sidewalk The police official said this morning that it was not only a suitable exit but the best exit to use for the purpose
 When Dr. Burns was asked this morning why he had used the term
 coal hole" he declared that he did bring the body up through a tcoal hole"
 When he was informed that there was no coal hole attached to the building. and the entrance through which he came was in fact a broad stairway, he said that he used the term because he believed that the stairway was means by which coal might be brought into the cellar
 Tn the matter of his statem ent t made to a Times reporter, yesterday, that the police walked away without rendering the ambulance any assist ance, Police Superintendent Flana- gan IS making an investigation. The dutles or the police on such an occa- sion are to keep back crowds and they will, if necessary. assist in the removal of a body. In this case, it appears. that Dr. Burns and Driver O'Conneil handled the body together. Whether or not Dr. Burns thought he should have been relieved of this task by the police. and whether or not he was somewhat vexed by having to do the work himself the fact remains that ms method of describing the in-

WAR RECORD
 SAVES DRIVER

A good record of overseas service with the A. F. F. stood Samuel Schaine, a jitney driver of 233 Parrot avenue in good stead when he was arraigned in the City court this morn ing on charges of overlooking his car.

This declaration was made during debate on the report on technical or ganizations of the League. Powell expressed fears that on account of the distance, non-European nations would send second class diplomats, while the European powers, being near at hand, would send first class diplomats who would gain control
 This statement was greeted with applause.
 Australia quickly lined up with Canada, widening the breach in the representation of the British Empire.
 Senator B. D. Millen, representing Australia, warmly supported the Canadian protest. He declared that Australia would not contribute finan- cial aid to expensive technical organi- cations not provided for in the League of Nations covenant, but created by Europeans for their own benefit.

XMAS TREES TO HOLD SA ME
 PRICE

With the arrival of the first lot of Christmas trees in town, Bridgeport folks have come to realize that Christmas is only three short weeks away. This may look like some distance on the calendar, but with trees on the market it makes one feel that the holidays are already here.
 Up to the present time four carloads of trees have arrived in Bridgeport. Most of these trees arc already for sale in local stores, and more shipments are expected to arrive here daily.
 One local dealer said this morning that prices on Christmas trees will average about the same as last year. The cost of a tree will probably be from 50 cents up, depending on the size Of the tree. The average size house tree will cost between one and two dollars. The quality of the trees this season, is said to be much better than last year.

 Mr. Houston said a deduction Of $9,523,000,o 1000, the amount loaned to foreign governments, should be made from the grand total since these loans will be repaid and consequently can not be charged as an actual expendt- ture.

CUT THE COST.

The American people with their Gus
tomary fatuous trust in legislation
have been expecting congress and leg
islatures and prosecuting attorneys to
reduce the high cost of living. Polit.-
clans and labor agitators thrive, while
the people continue to foot the big
bills. a few years ago trust bust
ing was the favorite occupation of
political birds Of prey. They grew
fat, but failed to bust the trusts. -
Now the hungry office seekers pro-
mise to reduce the high cost Of living.
How long Will the people permit them
selves to be be-fooIed? Prices depend
largely on the natural law of supply
and demand. If we get busy and in
crease the supply of any commodity
the price win drop; or if we cease to
use the commodity the same result
will follow Let us patch and mend
our clothes and shoes and quit buying
expensive stuff, and soon the price will
be reasonable; but as long as fools fall
over each other in their scramble fol
twenty-dollar shoes and silk shirts
they have the glorious privilege OF
paying prodigal prices. Practically
everyone now uses five times as mucf
sugar as was used a generation ago
If we 90 back to ration Of our fathers
sugar will automatically decline. Let
all the people take dose Of applied
common-sense in spending and pro
fiteers and politicians will be cut ot
employment.-Arkansas Methodist.

STARTS
OPEN FIGHT ON
REPUBLICANS
nv limited Pressl

Montreal, June 12.-Samuel Com
pers virtually blacklisted the Repub-
lican party before the convention of
the American Federation of Labor
here today.
Appearing with special report on
the platform of the Republicans as
adopted at Chicago, Gompers charged
that the Republican party had defiant
ly turned its back upon labor, but its
pronouncements were in defense of all
the enemies Of labor, and were cal
culated to secure fresh advantages and
greater privileges for them.
President Gompers announced that
the denunciation of the Republicans
would be printed and broadcasted
among the 100000 laborers of the
United States who were affiliated with
organized labor, and declared that the
American Federation intended to di-
rect the solid strength of labor at the
polls against the Republican nominees
for president and congressional posi-
tons.
In addressing the convention, Com
pers took up the Republican platform
plank by plank and compared its pro
visions with demands previously made
by organized labor.
