One Degree
OverFreezing
At Stratf0rd

When government weather sharps
sent out warnings yesterday that
there was about to be drop in tenn
pearture, they struck the proverbiaI
nail squarely on it's well known head.
The mercury hit the toboggan with
rush, and stopped only when it
reached the low point of 33 in some
of the outlying districts. This is the
lowest mid-September mark in a
number of years.
Farmers who needed the govern
T1ent warning of colder weather took
precauIon to guard their late fall
crops, and were wise in so doing.
Crops which were protected in any
way escaped the onslaught of Sir
Jack Frost, but it is possible thai
much damage was caused in some
sections of the state.
Stratford reported temperature
of 33 degrees last night, just one
mark above the freezing point. In
Redding the mercury registered 4C
degrees, and some crops We're hit by
the frost in that vicinity.

SAY THAT
MacSWINEY
IS SUICIDE

"Do you consider the hunger -stfik-
ing Lord Mayor of Cork, Terence Mac
Swiney, a suicide?''
This question was put to a number
of Bridgeport citizens yesterday by
The Times in an effort to get a repre-
sentative expression. Many of those
called were out of town and others
could not be reached. Quite a number
refused to be quoted.
Rev. Matthew J. Trainor of ST.
Mary's church. said, 'No, it is not
suicide
Father Lynch of st. Patrick's, said
he had no opinion to express" and
Rev. P. J. McGivney of st. Charles
also refused to be quoted in answer to
the question, as did Rev. Gerald
Beard of Park Street Congregational
church.
Rev. Hal T. Kearns replied, ''why,
certainly!''
Rev. Henry E. Kelley of st. Georges
said: Certainly. it seems to me like
suicide. 1t is an unfair way to treat
the law. 1t is inconsistent. They call
it war and then after having dignif1ed d
it with the name of war they do a
woman suffrage trick while prisoners
of war. He is trying to dodge the
consequences of his own acts
When the question was asked OF
W. F. O'TIara, attorney, he replied
''Yes, I think he is committing suicide
wilfully and knowingly. My view is
that the circumstances do not justify
the act. Such men as he are needed
to esta blish the Republic of Ireland

The first arrest in the campaign
against loiterers was made yesterday
when Officer Meanly of the First
Precinct took into custody Henry
Cousins, co1ored, of 221 Mountain
Grove street. According to the po-
iceman Cousins was one of a gang of
fifteen who refused to "move along
from the corner of South avenue and
Main street when ordered to do so by
the officer. He was ararigned in the
City, Court this morning and Judge
Wilder continued the case until Sat
urday. Bonds were set at $25. In
court this morning Cousins made
statement and had two colored wit
nesses to back up his allegation that
Officer Meaney had used ''rough'
language in ordering him to move
and told Cousins that if there was any
fighting to be done in the South End
that he was the one to do it and
that he could click any niger in
that territory. The charges OF Cousins
against the officer will be inyestigat-

New Haven, Sept. 20.-Connecticut
has ir its midst the greatest individual
hero of the world war if a story
which Is now being investigated by
the state headquarters of the Ameri-
can Legion is proven true, for Ser
geant Bernard Early of No. 13 Bishop

is entitled to recognition for the act
of heroism, the capture of 129 Ger

decorated by Congress and received
nationwide praise.
Sergeant Early has taken his case
up with H. L. Cutie, vocational officer

SEELY IS
AT THE
HEAD
Mayor Says ThatLeonard
Has Nothing Which
He Can Offer Him
Wants to Know Why
Leonard Remains AS a
Fire Commissioner.

Incensed at the action of John
Leonard, chaiSman of the Republican
Town Commiytee in turning out the
administration members of the town
COMMITTEES, Mayor Wilson issued the
following statement today:
1 am informed that John A. Leon
ard was unanimously elected town
chairman of the Republican party
through the apparently honest repre-
sentation that he would be free and
unprejudiced in the appointment of
his town committee. The first speech
he uttered after his >appoin ntment was
at the meeting of the Fairfield County
Republican organization. At that
time Mr.. Leonard announced that he
would give the present admln1strat1on
anything except his political support
his town committee, attempted to
embarrass me and disrupt the party
by associating himself with Frank f.
Ballard and others, who, less than
year ago, We're endeavorlng to elect
Democrats to office while processing
to be Republicans, and while Ballard
himself was holding Office as a Re-
publican.
Notwithstanding this statement,
Mr.. Leonard who has sought and
erment from me, continues as a mem
Der of the present administration
through his present office of fire COM
| missioner. I canot reconcile his state
sofar as his offer of political sup
port is concerned, I believe the first
essential in proffering a thing is the
possession thereof. Mr.. Leonard can
not give US that which he does not
possess, and there is nothing Mr..
Leonard or Mr.. Ballard can, under
any circumstances, in or out of poli-
tics, offer to me-, 1t is a Satisfa ction
| to finally know his real purpose and
| intentions and I welcome his opposi-
| ton.
I have decided upon the following
as an edvisory committee, one from
each district, which committee is the
only one with which I shall advise
and consult in making any appoint
metns which, under out city charter,
mus the political, namely: William
E. Seeley, Andrew J. Northey, How
ard F. Smith, William Chew, John F.
Maloney, Thomas J. Cunningham
Henry G. Stevenson, Earl G. Martin
Samuel DAVE, Frank E. Squires
James Holt, Jr., Arthur T. Connor.
This committee, well as myself
is Republican, and will work harder
| than ever for the success of the Re-
publican party.
The country, state, and city needs
the policies of the Republican party
and the direction Of the men nomi
mated for the several places upon the
ticket, and we shall not jeopardize
the party's success through our oppo-
siuon to these erstwhile Republicans
