NEW HAVEN ROAD
 CONDITIONS ARE
 BACK TO NORMAL

New Haven, JucS~ 3-President B. J. Pearson of the New Haven road was appointed a member of a committee of railway executives to deal with the problem of relieving traffic over the rail lines at a meeting held in the New Haven directors room in New measure of cooperation is to be sought to gain the end of removing congestion of freight.
 One of the matters discussed was the problem faced by the express companies, whose government guar anty and their relationship with the carriers is so close that it generally was believed that the association would make certain suggestions, but no conclusive action was taken at the meeting.
 The conditions following the recent outlaw strike were discussed. A re- turn to normal conditions on the New Haven road was reported and the company feels certain that the cond1- tions resulting from the strike have been relieved.
 % Many of the volunteers who have been taking the place of the vaca- tionists, it was said, have been re- placed by new employees. Applicants are reported by the company to be plentiful and great care is now being taken in selecting men to fill perma- nent positions. The object, as an nounced by the company, is to build up a permanent and loyal force and to obviate the possibility of a recur- renee, of the recent 'soutIaw' strikes

New Haven, July 3-The Liquor Dealers association is not yet a corpse, although the Supreme Court has clamped the lid on. New hope for the future is furnished the liquor men from no less authority on law than former President Taft.
 aIntimating that personally he did not have a high regard for the eighteenth amendment, but since it's the law, I believe in obeying it to the letter." MT. Taft pointed out that Congress had the power to fix the alcoholic content of beverages affected by the amendment, as well as to regulate the use of intoxicants and punish violations of the law
 "It is just as easy for Congress to say per cent. or 4 per cent. on any reasonable per cent. as to say E of per cent. Congress should and undoubtedly will, be guided by rea- son. common sense and the wishes ot a majority of the people.
 "A drastic, unreasonable law de feats its own purpose. No doubr there are those who would like tc | make the manufacture or sale o1 whiskey a capital crime. Such a law would not be worth the time it tool

 BROAD STREET

At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held yesterday afternoon the following resolution subject to the ratification by the individual members of the association was adopted: ''The Bridgeport Chamb Der of Commerce strongly opposes the ex- penditure of all city funds for public improvements until the needs of the public schools have been satisfactorily met"

The attention of members having coal coming by rail is invited to Para graph 5, Service Order No. of the Interstate Commerce Commission as follows:
 Ut is ordered, that all common carriers by railroad within the terri tory hereinbefore described be, and they are hereby, authorized and di- rected, effective June 23rd, 1920, and until further order of the Commis- sion, to place an embargo against the receipt of coal by any consignee and against the placement of coal cars for consignment to any consignee who shall fail or refuse to unload coal placed for unloading within twenty four hours after such placement, un- til all coal so placed has been un- loaded by such consignee, provided, that this authorization and direction shall no interfere with the move ment of coal under permit to any coal pool or pools when authorized by amy order heretofore or hereafter

EXPEDITION TO WORK IN VALLEY
 OF RED RIVER

F,dm onton, Alta, July 3.-Another expedition to look for the bones of great prehistoric reptiles in the Red River Valley of Alberta is on it's way here. This time it is under the direc- ton of pr. w. A. Parks, of the Uni versity of Toronto and the Royal On- tario Museum. For number of years these expeditions have been an annual summer journey for three months. Two years ago the almost perfect specimen of the kritosaurus incurvi1nanus, which has just been finally clipped free from the rock and presented to the museum, was found, making a distinct addition to the rec ords of science, and giving to Toron
 to the only specimen of this species yet discovered. Three incomplete skeletons of the .kritosaurus and a great horned head of a brontosaurus, four feet six inches in length, were found by the professor but have not yet been carved from, the rock. It is the hope of Professor Parks to col lect intimately for the Royal Ontar- io Museum one of the finest exhibits of dinosaurs in existance.
 The locality and the method of finding the specimens are described by Professor Parks. 'The river cuts right through the flat prairie to a
 depth of 400 feet, forming a whole lot of broken buttes, and it is among these that the bones are discovered. One of the difficulties in obtaining
 complete specimens is that the bones cannot be obtained until they are partly exposed by the action of nat ura1 deroding causes. Sometimes you are disappointed then, for after ex- ploring you may find only a single bone. You dig down as close as you |, can and pack the rock in plaster paris for shipment
 The Red River Valley 5000, 900 years ago was near the coast of a great inland sea that stretched from 1 the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic i Ocean. ''The sand along the shallow 1 brackish shores of this great body of 1 water formed a splendid preservative
 for those huge reptiles which inhafb- | tied the world at that time. Our l kritousaurus was found in what we l call the Belly river formation of the l Upper Cretacean system" explafN1 | Professor Parks.

MERIDEN PRIEST
 VICTIM OF THE
 DEADLY MAFIA

Meriden, Ct, July 3.---Has Father Ricci been marked by the Nafia to maintain silence, with the penalty of death?
 This is the theory that was ad- vanced yesterday, and investigation makes it appear to be the most logical of all the theories thus far advanced. Investigation among the Italian peo- pie dfscloses the fact that there is atb- solutely no foundation for the belief that dissensfon among the parishion- CTS had anything to do with the slash ing of the Italian priest.
 When the Mafia, or BlaclShand, was active in Meriden about six or seven years ago. Father Ricci was picked as one of their victims. He had preached from the altar against the Black Hand. 1t is said, with the result that he received threatening letter de- manding a large sum of money.

Six Bureau of War Risks Arrests, and More Due Disabled Heroes
 Victimized.

Washington, July 3-Discovery of wholesale frauds perpetuated on dis abled soldiers and their dependents Risk Insurance has resulted in an or der for a thorough accounting and examination of war risk accounts and documents by the United States Se- cret Service.
 A squad of examiners has been put to work on the investigation. Six men are under arrest charged with conspiracy to defraud disabled sol diers out of sums aggregating hun dreds of thousands of dollars, and moro arrests are expected. The last three arrested, w. B. and Harold [ O'Connell, examiners, and T. E. Graves. a negro messenger, were ar raigned before United States Com missioner Richardson. The O'Con- nells, who are not related, were re- leased in bail of $2,50o each. Graves. whose ball was fixed at $1O,00O, is still in custody.
 R. W. Emerson, assistant director of the bureau, denounced those who may be guilty of fleecing disabled soldiers as "the meanest men on earth.''
 Mulcting of disabled soldiers has continued over period or Sl& months, according to evidence now in the hands of the district attorney. Six men are now held for the Grand Jury charged with comp1icity in the frauds. Those first arrested were William F. Salisbury, of Buffalo, N. Y.; Davis M. Griswo1d, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Patrick O'Brien, of Des Moines. Ia.
 They are held in $10,o00 bail each.
 Former service men who say they were compelled to part with a large portion of their compensation by employees of the bureaus division of claims, continued to appear today at the office of the distrIcr attorney. One former soldier, a victim of tubercu- losis, said he had been induced to give up $1,20O of a claim on which he received S2,300. According to his story one of the men under arrest told him that his claim was worth less, but that it would be pushed : through if he would divide the pro- ceeds with three bureau employees. The soldier agreed and two days later received a check for $2,3O0, which he endorsed over to the man with whom he was dealing. The two went to a bank where, he said, the bureau employe cashed the check and gave the claimant $1,100 and kept the rest himself.

Drys' To Fight Weller
In Washington County

Hagerstown Md, May 28.-It is
learned from authentic source that
the dry forces in Washington
county are being organized to wage
a vigorous campaign against o. E.
Weller, the Republican candidate for
United States Senator IN Maryland.
Grafton Downs, who led the dry"
fight in this county several years
ago. resulting in the county being
placed in the dry column, stated
that, from the sentiment extant, the
"drys" will be thoroughly organized
to fight Weller. Mr.. Downs said
Senator John Walker Smith will in
all probability get the support of the
white ribboners" and that the same
element will doubtless be behind
Congressman Fred N. Zihlman for
recollection to Congress. 1t is as
serted that State Senator Frank w.
Mish, the Democratic candidate for
Congress, has virtually cast his lot
with the "wets" although he is not
making an open fight on the issue
The opposition to Weller as an ad-
vocate CT light wines and beer and
as being opposed to the Volstead act
has thoroughly aroused the dry
element, and the Republican leaders
are alarmed at the apparent extent
of the opposition and its probable
effect. 1t is expected that the drys
will arrange to hold meeting and en-
gage upon general campaign
against Weller.

Denmead Before
House Committee

A hearing was held Wednesday in
Washington, D. c., before the Com
mittee on Rules of the House on
House Bill No. 2,466, introduced by
Mr.. Smith of Idaho, which, If pass
ed, would permit the construction OF
a large irrigation project being car
ried on in Yellowstone Park, cover
ing a large area Of the best moose
ground and destroying not only the
homes and breeding places of many
birds and animals therein but be an
unsigltly mud fiat during the large
part of the year.
Among those who spoke against
the measure was Talbot Denmead OF
Maryland, representing the Conser-
vation Commission of Maryland, the
MARYLAND State Game and Fish AS
sociation, the Maryland Academy of
Sciences and the Maryland Audubon
Society. The bill has passed the
Senate without the knowledge OF
those most interested and an un-
favorable report from the House
Committee is expected.
Mr.. Denmead, while in Washing
ton also took up with the Agrlcul-
tural Department, the United States
Forester and others the question OF
making the Aberdeen Proving
Grounds permanent bird refuge, 1t
now being such unde ra War Depart
ment order only. He found that the
Department of Agriculture, through
the Biological Survey, proposes TO
ask Congress to pass lew making
all military reservations throughout
the United States bird refuges'
which will include Aberdeen Proving
Grounds. Under these circumstances
it has been decided to make no effort
at this time to make a special issue
of the Maryland tract, but wait and
assist the Department in its nation
wide law.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local publications, as they cannot
reach the diseased pirtion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy Catarrha!
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mocous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearin 2
will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh, which is an inf1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine acts thru the blood
on the mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free,
