BABY CARRIED
 HERE IN GRIP
 MAY 60 BACK
No Formal Adoption Ap- plication Has Been Made
 to Judge Miller.

Broken Blossoms" Bridgeport's s founding baby who was deserted and then brought to this city in a bag from New York, may have to go back to that state. says Judge Paul L. Miller of the Probate Court.
 Judge Miller points out that the child is a New York baby, according to the letters of the mother, and if the Charities Department. fear that it will become charge on the state ii will have to go back there as it does not rightfully belong in Connecticut.
 The eight weeks old baby is at the Margaret Ford cottage now waiting for someone to adopt it and 1t would be with general regret that officials of the department would see the child taken back to New York. No formal application for the adoption of the child has been made as yet to Judge Miller in the Probate Court.

CITY ITSELF IS
 SLOW CLEANING
 OWN SIDEWALKS
stresch Bounding Parking Space Ill Deplorable
 Condition

Despite the activities of a great number of citizens of the city, warn ings by the various official depart ments of Bridgeport, and considera- tion of the safety of pedestrians. the stretch of sidewalk on Broad and John streets bounding the rubHc parking space and directly or -ndir- ectly controlled by the city, remains in as sloppy and slippery condition as any pavement to be found today.
 With hardly any exceptions the merchants and residents of the city, especially around the center, were busy either last night or this morn ing attempting to render the side walks fit for use. Yesterdays warm weather and the continued thaw to- day have probably had much to do with the sudden access of ambition on the part of householders while the warnings issued by the police de- partment possibly count for some thing also.
 The crosswalks throughout the center of the city are rapidly ap- proaching decent shape and gangs of men were busy this morning cleaning up the slush piles in various spots.
 It has been suggested by several prominent business and professi onal men that a system similar to that used in New York be adopted here-usine the high pressure hydrant to- clean the streets after a snow fall. Unde, this plan the manholes of the streets are opened during the night and fire hoses attached to the hydrants the force of the water generally being strong enough to wash away what ever snow does not melt.
 An arrangement like this. it i: thought by many, especially in the center of the city, would keep tht streets in good condition without ad ding materially to the expense.

GOVERNOR DID NOT REMARK
 ON SUFFRAGE

Suffrage leaders in Connecticut were this morning amazed to read in their newspapers that Governor HoI- comb had at the Mckinley dinner in Middletown come out in favor of suf- frage after his long opposition, but all doubt was removed today when if was found that the governor did not make the remarks credited to him.
 In his speech Chairman Cole said that women would within a year or two take part in the annual get-to- gether of the Republican party and not the governor as reported. His speech was of the rather formal type and did not deal at all with suf- fraGge.

A problem closely analogous TO

been steady. and aided by the most
favored nation" clause Of the treaty.
the Chinese gradually enircnched
themselves until the Mexican labor
ers found it dimcult TO compete with
Chinese coolies, and Mexican busi-
ness men were forced into the back
ground by Chinese merchants.
