LAKE SORE AT
STRATF0RD FOR
INVITING HIM

The bringing of Everett ]. Lake
the Republican nominee for Governor,
to Stratford last Saturday proved to
be a boomerang to the so-called in
surgents and made Lake SO sore that
it is said he expressed himself very
forcibly to Mayor Wilson and Senator
John B. Dillon who were responsible
for his appearance at a factional fight
just before the primaries
1t is said that Lake was given to
und erstand that the Stratford affair
was a general gathering of all the
Republicans of the old town and he
was much surprised when he arrived
and found that it was a meeting of
the Stratford Republican club which
was waging a fierce fight against the
old time Republicans for the control
of the local party machinery and the
patronage which goes with it.
Lake informed his guests that here
after he would keep out of Fairfield
county and would let the different
factions settle their differences with
out his help.
The effect of the visit of the candi-
date on the fortunes of the insur-
gents was just the opposite of what
was expected and the overwh Ginning
defeat which they received at the pri-
maries is traced to the visit of Lake
which was resented by most of the
StratfOrd Republicans.

not a wheel has turned in the hard
coal district except in a very few of
the small mines Previous to that
when the mines were running the
strike of railroad men hampered
shipping. That situation has now been
very much improved and the rail-
roads announce they are ready to
haul all coal dug
Speaking further this dealer said:
''The usual great reserves of coal
were exhausted during tse war and
with the consequent shortage of
miners due to the war they were not
built up. Impeded rail traffic cut out
entirely any opportunity of -improv-
ing the local stocks. The price at
present is $3.50 and there is no pros
pect of it being Immediately reduced,
though there will Undoubtedly be an
increase in the stocks. Tt is all up
to the miners and the National As
sociation declares that conditions 2re
improving Further than that the
public knows just as much as we do
about the coal situation But there
is really no need of a panic on the
coal question. yet

BANDITS CLEAN
OUT WATERBURY
COFFEE HOUSE

Waterbury, Sept. 2S.-seven gun
men with automatics held up the two
proprietors and eighteen men in the
coffee house and alleged gambling
place, conducted by Matthew and
Louis Bovine at 2S9 Bank street at
o'clock this morning and secured
cash and valuab1es estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in value.
The holdup men entered the res
taurant about half an hour before
the robbery. At a given signal they
stood up and covering the other in
n, a,tes with their revo1vers, threat
ened to shoot if any outcry was
made.
The victims were stood up against
the wall and searched by one of the
party of gunmen while the Others
held the others under cover of the
revolvers. Even pens and pencils
were removed from the pockets
Matthew Bovine, one of the pro
prietors, was stripped of $500 in cash
and a diamond ring and Michael
Maiorano, q we'll known undertaken
was told to remove his diamond ring
and when he refused the robbers
threatened to shoot his finger of
whereupon he complied with their
request.

IChief'Flynn, However, Says
That the Wall Street Ex-
plosion Was An Accident.

New York, Sept. 23.-Despite the
fact that William J. Flynn, chief of
the bureau of investigation of the
department of Justice, ridicules the
theory that the Wall street explosion
was an accident, due to the carless
handling of explosives the grand jury
today continued its probe strictly
along that line. The only witnesses
scheduled to appear before that body
are superintendents and drivers of
companies that deal in explosives.
The witnesses who will be ques-
toned include Carl Ditmar, head Of
the Ditmar company, the superin-
tsndent and two drivers employed by
that company and George Geerhard I'd,
superintendent and drivers employed
by the E. I. Dupond De Nemours
company. 1t is believed they will be
made to show records of ali of their
wagons on the day of the Wall street
blast.
Chief Flynn, however, is positive in
his belief that the blast resulted
from a plot.
One new angle came to light to
which great importance was attached
by some officials. A stenographer
formerly employed by the Departm ent
of Justice has told officials that she
was warned by man friend several
days before the explosion to keep
away from Wall street on Sept. 16.
The police withheld her name. They
are looking for the man who warned
her.

IRISH TOWN is
GIVEN TO TORCH
BY SOLDIERS

Dublin, Sept. 23-Reprisal attacks
by British soldiers and policemen in
County Clare were reported to be
spreading today, following a pitched
battle between Milltown -Malbay and
Lehinch in which four policemen and
one soldier were killed. The number
of civilians. killed. if any. was not
known.
Soldiers have stationed machine
guns along the road leading to Mill
town-Malbay, and the town could not
be approached at latest reports
There is great activity by British
troops throughout the whole country.
Part of Mi1ltown-Malbay has been
destroyed by fire. The inhabitants
fed in panic during the night.
Twenty-six civilians have been ar
rested in the vicinity of Milltown-
Malbay, charged with participation in
the battle with soldiers and policemen.
The shooting up of Milltown Nal
bay Immediately after the sack of
Balbriggan by policemen leads to
fears that the police and military are
growing out of hand on a great scale.

No Danger Of Coal
Panic Here AS Yet

The National Coal Association in
statement issued last night, declares
that all adequate needs of consumers
will be fully met before winter sets
in and that there is no need Of the
people who have not yet secured their
full winters supply to be become un-
duly excited. They urge a system Of
conservation and care in buying and
say that householders need not worry
if they cannot fill their cellars at once.
Rather they advise that they split their
buying, putting in a part of it now
and the rest a little later, say about
Dec. 1. when there seems to be no
doubt but that the supply will be
)much improved.
The principal local dealers Of
Bridgeport when asked about the
facts of this statement, were much in
clined to second the facts claimed by
the national association. AS one of
the most prominent dealers of the
city said to The Times today: THE
supply of coal not only locally, but
throughout the country at the present
time is absolutely controlled by labor
questions at the mines Since Sept l

CORRECTION

The Times misinformed its readers,
yesterday, when it printed an item
saying that William F. Chatlos. the
well known builder, West Broad
street, Stratford, had received from
the General Electric Company an or
der for 100 dwellings. This item was
telephoned to the editorial rooms as
matter for investigation. and,<by error
in taking was printed without inquiry
as true. Mr.. Chat1oos said today:
There has been rumor that ]
had received such an order. but =!
haven't and I don't know where the
talk came from. / wouldn't like the
General Electric to believe L gave out
such news, and I hope you will make
1t clear that I didn't" Mr.. Chatlos
didn't. The error was entirely in the
editorial rooms of The Times, and the
correction is duly made with regrets
chat there should have been such ar
error.

TRAFFIC
CENTER IS
SHIFTED
John and Main Streets Has
Superseded Main and
Fairfield

The 1aure1s of Bri1geport's busiest
corner at Main street and Fairfield
avenue have been temporarily trans
ferred to the corner of Main and John
streets according to figures given out
at the traffic division at police head
quarters this morning.
According to the figures of last
Tuesday taken by the traffic division
at both places there were about 1900
more vehicles that passed the corner
of John and Main street than what
there were at Main and Fairfield.
From 8 o'clock in the morning on
Tuesday until $50 o'clock or the
same evening there were 1906 We
hicIes of all description that passed
at the corner of John and Main St.,
going in all four directions while at
Main and Fairfield which has enjoyed
the distinction for years of being the
busiest corner in the city there were
only 10000 vehicles that passed. The
figures are inclusive of trolleys and
every other vehicle with the excep-
ton of bicycles. The shift in the busy
corners is attributed to the new city
ordinance which rules the jitneys to
operation on John street and forbids
their passing at Main and Fairfield.

Soldiers Bonus
And Registration
Bill Providing for the
Registration of Wo-
men on Friday and
Saturday Of This Week
Goes BY the Board
Teachers Money to Be
Restored Also When It
Reaches Him.
Especial to The Times1

Hartford, Sept. Ex-Governor Hol-
comb today decided that he would
not sign the resolution passed by the
Legislature on Tuesday, providing for
a referendum on a bonus of S1OO to
be paid by the state to all men in
the state who had seen service in
the great war. That means of course,
that the bill falls, and there will be
no vote on the matter at the Novem-
Der election. He also decided that
he would not sign the bill providing
for the registration of women voters
on Friday and Saturday of this week
for the October election. His reason
for the action on the registration law
was that there was not time enough
in which to notify the registration
boards throughout the state if the
bill became a law today.
In the matter of the soldiers
bonus, however, the governor has
held consistently that the Legislature
had no right to pass anything but
elections laws at the September 14th
session Or anything but the suffrage
ratification at the September 21s:
session.
The bill providing s1,15o,ooo to
pay the teachers bonus Throughout;
the STATE has not yet reached the
governor, but he will undoubtedly
refuse his signature to it when he
does receive it.
