NEW HAVEN ROAD IS RUSHED TO
 FULL CAPACITY


 New Hhvena Aug. 11.-Genera1 Man ager Bardo of the New Haven road told the Rotary club yesterday that the New Haven road was doing the biggest business in its history.
 Bardo pointed out that the railroad is just at present undergoing a period of the heaviest passenger and freight traffic which it has had in its history, and with the increased rates recently awarded, it was expected that the railroad will be able to just about break even on expenses and that ar engagements will be made whereby the road will be placed on dividend pay ing basis in the near future.
 Bardo briefly sketched the increase in wages received by all classes of employees in the railroads in the last few years, from the period just prior to the war up to the present time; also the increase in operating expenses and materials particularly in the cost of coal.
 He told briefly of the effects of the strikes in the yards at Harlem Eiver Nayfbroolz, Bridgeport and New Ha- ven.
 IIe told how, if shippers would please place one more ton in every car, t would release for use 100, 900 more cars in the United States and he called upon the shippers generally to co-operate with the railroads in the prompt and efficient loading and un- loading of cars.

ASSOCIATE SAYS P0NzI IS FORMER
 CONFIDENCE MAN

Boston, Aug. 11-An associate of Charles Ponzi from the home of the latter at Lexington, today telephoned The Associated Press that Ponzi ad- mitted that he was the Charles Ponsi, formerly of Montreal. He added that the spectacular financier was in con- ference with his lawyers and would issue a statement later.
 Reports from Montreal circulated here were to the effect that Ponzi un- der the name of Ponsi had operated a financial plan promising large re- turns in Montreal 8 years ago. At tention was called also to the records of the St. Vincent De Paul Penitenti- ary in that city which were said to show that man known as Charles Ponsi had served a. brief term there. Early today Ponzi denied any knowl- edge concerning the Montreal reports. Later he refused himself to news paper men.
 His house telephone thereafter was answered by a man who claimed to represent PonZi and who said that something might be given out later in the day. Subsequently he stated that Ponzi admitted that he was the man ,, who had been known in Montreal. He added that Ponzi had left his home for Boston to confer with one of his attorneys.

REDS THANKING WARSAW.

Warsaw, Aug. 10-A1though Polish forces have abandoned the town of Ostrolenka they continue to occupy positions between the Narew and Bug rivers and are sufficiently strong to defend Warsaw in that direction. The evacuation of Ostrolenka, however, in- wolves a re-grouping of the Polish forces along the middle reaches of the Bug river where they are re- treating toward the river Liwisc, east of Warsaw. Along this stream the Poles have fortified positions which extend along line more than 30 miles from Warsaw.
 The swinging movement to the ynorth of this city apparently planned Ito outflank the defenses of Warsaw and force the Poles to withd6w tacross the Vistula, is the greatest maneuver undertaken as yet by the Bolsh hevil<i. It is supposed to be under the leadership of General Toucacheski. After crossing the DanziS railway the Soviet cavalry is reported to have turned southward,
 being closely followed by infantry,
 which has marched close along the
 PruSsian frontier.

Mayor Gets Cold Feet On Flight. Eli h! :.
 To State Outing
MORE TALK OF
 LASHAR FOR THE SENATE TICKET

New Haven, Aug. 1.-The boom of Walter B. Lashar of Bridgeport for governor was not very lively at the meeting of the Democratic state cen tral committee for the reason that most of the members have taken it for granted than the man most likely to get the nomination was Chairman David E. Fitzgerald, mayor of New Haven. There was some talk of Thomas J. Spellacy and some talk of Congressman Augustin Lonergan of Hartford though it was said that Lon ergan wants to get back to his law business, the expenses of a Washing ton career being very heavy for a man of moderate means.
 There was a great deal of interest, however, in uashar's personality. Many of the members from up the state were anxious to know some thing about the Bridgeport manufac- turer and before the meeting was over there was talk that if Homer S.. Cummings didn't want the nomina- ton for the place of United States senator the Bridgeport man would make a good candidate It was gen. orally recognized, however, that if Cummings wants the nomination he
 can have it but if he does not want it the candidacy of Lashar will soon take on very large proportions.

Yesterday the mayor planned on making the flight and everything was arranged for his convenience in the plane of the Con- necticut Aerial Navigation Company.
 When he changed his mind at the last minrte this morning City Clerk J. Alex H. Robinson decided to go in the mayors place. "Win I need a raincoat?" asked the city clerk, ''or will it be raining up there?' he further inquired.

SLACK HAN GED
 CELL
Janke, Bridgeport Man Who Gave Himself Up to the New York Police Uses Handkerchief in Suicide Plan at Hart ford-Sang in Caba- rets Here. z

Hartford, Aug. 11-Conrad T. W. Janke. the Waterbury and Bridgeport stacker who surrendered to the New York police Monday night and who arrived at the Hartford police station in custody of a federal officer Tuesday evening, committed suicide by hang ing in his cell this morning.
 In each of the cells is a wall couch and over the door are several short bars. Janke adjusted a black hand kerchief around his neck, knotting his tie over this and slipping it through the bars over his head. Then he jumped off the cot.
 Janke was 30 years old and was on leave of absence from Panama, where he had been working for the Panama Railroad Company for Il months. Janke, according to Federal Agent Barbera, who arrived with him here Tuesday night, was very de- York. He walked into West filth spondent on the trip up from New Street precinct station in New York Monday evening and surrendered himself telling the police officer that he had been unable to sleep because he feared the police were on his trail and that h would have to go to jail for draft evasion.
 A stenographic report of questions which Agent Barbara put to Janke in New York, with the answers, is in MT. Hazen's office today. It shows that Janke was employed as a caba- ret singer in a cafe in Waterbury from June to August, 1917. From there he went to Bridgeport and ob- tained work in a factory, and on Sept 12, 1918, he registered in the draft at Bridgeport, giving the name o1 Charles Jackson, under which he had been employed in cabarets. He was registered in class Al of the draft but was not called for service. The hours at which he worked a. a singer with activity during the greater part of the night and sleep ing during the day, were given b1
 Janke as bis reason for not register ing in the first draft when he wa: in Waterbury.

10 Clear Out
 Jitneys On
 Water Street

To relieve the traffic congestion in the center of the road on Water street between Golden Hill street and Fairfield avenue, the chairman of the city streets and sidewalks committee visited police headquarters this morn ing and asked the cooperation of the traffic division to clear the way along the side of the road from the nu- merous standing jitneys and other ve- hicles that park there, so that the flow of autos which is exceptionally ehavy at that point be allowed to keep to the side of the road. Both sides of the street on each side of the trolley track have been recently warrenited and the attention of au- toists is invited to note that travelling is much more comfortable and non congestive if they will keep to the sides of the road along that particu- lar section.
 The traffic department of the Po- lice Department are looking into the matter. It has been suggested by the streets and sidewalks committee that automobile owners will avail themselves of the parking space in the Plaza rather than to block traffic by parking at the complaint point.

Remarks of the Voters Are Becoming Bitter Toward
 the Jitneys.

The trolleys took an. awful slam out Of the jitneys in the Bridgeport Times preference vote today. When the votes were counted this morning the total was 112 for the tro1leys and 70 for the jitheys. Besides that the re- marks of those who sent their coupons are getting more bitter toward the jit- ney service.
 Here is what they say:
 In favor of tro1leys:
 Cleaner, more comfortable, more dependable in every way.''
 More breathing space. Less con- tact with your neighbor. Cheaper in the long run."
 Easier to get into, easier to sit or stand in. easier to get out of.'
 "No waiting on the street one-ha1f hour to see several buses go by and cannot get a ride. Not with the trolleys; always room for one more.
 Best for use all times in the day."
 ''The -jitneys are no good at all.''
 There is nothing like the good old trolleys.''
 '"The trolley forever for me-
 "Trolleys by all means. If you leave a package in a jitney, 'good-bye,' and when you ask that same jitney man if he had seen it, this is what you get, Me no see no package; what you think I am?"
 Disgrace to the city. Who wants to ride in a crowded jitney?"
 '"Trolleys for me-
 More sanitary and more comfort able. Let's have them by all means"
 "Jitneys are too dirty and over charge too much
 Dirty and unreliable" Give us the trolleys. I have seen Bridgeport grow for Il years"
 ''If we get better service then the trol1eys. Thousands of people that live outside of the city ride a great deal on the cars and spend their money in Bridgeport stores so don't see why the fare should be any more for them just because they have further to go.''
 "The jitneys are awful. I will move out of Bridgeport if I can't have the trol1eys."
 .sThe jitneys ought to be abolish ed"
 "I prefer the trol1eys because they are safer.''
 'I believe the tro11eys are more con- venient and easier riding than the | jitneys."
 "The troIleys are far superior to the l Jllney TOT general u | "I rode every day but will walk 1 until we get trolley service again. | Cost six cents the trolley, now 1 it costs 10 cents, about half way be- ! tween Bridgeport and Stratford." Give me the trolleys because they i are more comfortable and sanitary" 1 "Jits are rotten" I Some of the buses are not fit for swine"
 "Trolleys better for the public in | every way"
 More comfort in riding Safer, roomier and cleaner" :. ''How can a mother take her chil- dren to the park on a pleasure trip on a jitney? Where is the jitney that will stop and take mother with five or six children and a basket ei lunch?''
 "Tro11eys, because they are more suitable for women and children
 "More comfortable and safer fol women"
 | Safer and easier to ride on, and cheaper for those who must trans. fer.'
 Certainly something will have te be done and very soon, I think. Wha is the matter with the mayor? Cam he do something? Or what kind o mayor is he? Trolieys, by al means. Waited one hour for : Beardsley park jitney. Ruined every dress ever worn in jitney ! (Continued on Page Six)

MINOR BiISHAP

While working for the Western Uion Telegraph Co. this morning, on Housatonic Ave, Jos. Mandez of PIP Connecticut avenue, had his right leg lacerated when a pipe hit him. pr. J. A. Maxwell of the Emergency staff dressed the leg and sent the man home.
 A later call for the ambulaf1Te was to Herkheimer street. Robert Bunce of 60 Herkheimer street was riding on his bicycle. In some unknown way the boy came in back of an oil truck which was backing up to the curb. The driver, E. J. Mccarthy did not see the boy and the latter was knocked off his bicycle. Dr. Maxwell found that the boy only suffered minor bruises on his left leg.
