FIRST DEATH FROM
 FLU" IS REPORTED.
 p NEW CASES TODAY
205 Is Now Total For City-Plans Made to Receive Patients at Hospitals-Dr. Brown Believes Epidemic will Not Be As Serious As Last Year.

One death yesterday from in fluenza and three deaths this week from all forms of pneu- monia was the death toll of the epidemic in Bridgeport today as announced by Dr. Walter H.
 Brown, healtf officer, this morning. There were 9 new cases reported today, making a total of 2O5 now in the city.
 Yesterday afternoon pr. Walter H. Brown met the principals of the vari- ous schools in Bridgeport and warned them about keeping up sanitary con- dltlons of the schools and issued such instructions to them as is necessary.
 This afternoon Dr. Brown is to meet the heads of all the charity organiza- lions in the city and tell them wha- they can do to stop the spread of the disease. He will also meet the heads of the local chapter of the Red Cross and the Visiting Nurse Association. Plans will be outlined whereby the poor will be able to get adequate med ical attendance, fuel, blankets and whatever may be necessary from beds to food.
 Plans have been completed where
 by 15O patients may be cared for at
 the Bridgeport hospital. another 15G at the new Englewood hospital, and a large number at St. Vincent's.
 It is reported that the nurses have been registering with the Board of Health freely but the registration of women who took Red Cross training course and nurses partially trained has been slight.
 The arrangements for the safe- guarding of the public health in the theatres have been completed and placards have been placed in public places warning the public against coughing, sueezing and splitting. The Board of Health is now making ar engagements to care for this evil or the trolley cars and in the jitneys. While the cases continue to be re. ported to the Board of Health in large numbers every indication is that the | epidemic this year will not be nearly as large as that of last year.

WHY HAS NOT POLICE CAPTAIN
 BEEN CHOSEN?
No Successor As Yet Select. ed To Fill Coley's
 Place.

Despite the fact that there are a
 number of vacancies to be filed and
 promotions to be made in the police
 department, it now appears that no
 action will be taken on these matters
 at the coming meeting of the Board
 of Police Commissioners which is
 scheduled for Saturday night. The
 reported "big doin.gs" in the depart
 ment have been held up for a long
 time, and once more seem slated for
 a postponement to February Is or
 April 1.
 Many of the proposed changes ara
 based on the possibility of the re-
 tirement of Superintendent John H.
 Redgate, but one which is not-is the
 appointment of a man to fill the va
 cancy caused by the death of tho late Captain George B. Coley. This appointment should have been made as soon as possible after the creation of the vacancy
 At the time of his death, several months ago, Captain Coley was i1: ] charge of the first precinct, which is probably the most important police ! district in the city Since his death this precinct has been without a direct official head. Lieutenants Arthur L. Prout, Patrick Flannigan and Thomas Flood are now alternately in charge of i the precinct for eight hours a day. | These men are thoroughly reliable and capable of handling the situation at all times, but each lacks the neces- sary authority of direct action which would go with a captains commission. By the person who is the least ob- servant it can easily be seen that this vacancy should be filled immediately.
 Further delay will only result in the situation becoming more involved An l immediate appointment would allow a new captain to get the precincts bus l mess under control in a short space of time, but much more postponemen may bring about a sorry mess.

 CRUSTED WITH
 SNOW AND ICE

Many sidewalks throughout the city are still encrusted with SHOW and ice, but no blank warrants have been issued for the arrest of persons responsible for these conditions. That six hours Is the regulation time limit for snow removal, and patrolmen are en- powered to make arrests in cases where the ordinance is violated.
 Property owners whose side walks are still covered with snow have been warned by the police to clean them today. Unless this order is carried out arrests will probably be made. This step NiIl have to be taken to protect the city from liabilities for injuries from falls on icy sidewalks.
