ALDERMEN MAY
 ACT ON PROBLEM
Some Cannot See Where Municipality Has Right
 to Act.

When the Board of Aldermen meets tonight something may be done to regulate the. jitneys as proposed by the Connecticut company, but it is more than likely that no definite ac- ton will be taken. The mayor said this morning that something might be done at tonight's meeting.
 L. S. Storrs told the mayor last to regulate the jitneys and if they were not then the trolley service would be abandoned on July Is. Ai- derman McManus, president of the boards, says he cannot see where the municipality has right to regulate the jitneys.
 Other members of the Board of Aldermen are of the same opinion. Four of them visited city hall this morning and none of them knew whether there will be any attempt to regulate jitneys at the meeting to- night or not They will probably be given their orders in the caucus to be held just prior to the meet ing.
 A report was circulated this morn ing that John T. King and William E. Seeley, who are heavy stockhold- CTS of the London Tramway Co.,, may make an effort to put tramway cars in Bridgeport in event that the Connecticut GO. withdraws it's cars MT. See1ey went to London at the re- quest of John T. King, who attend ed the Chicago Republican conven- ton, on an important business en- gagement.

 '"The Chamber of Commerce has
 been actively engaged in trying to solve the matter Of transportation of
 this city for nearly two years" said MT. Price, land now that matters
 seem in fair way to come to a head this organization goes on record as being strictly neutral in it's atti- tude toward the jitney and the troll ley. The WnOle situation IS very much complicated and has it's argu- ments on both sides and we, like oth- CT individuals and organizations, of the city, are finding it difficult to take any definite stand on the mat ter"

IMPORTANT TO KEEP BEES FROM
 SWARMING NOW

It is very important to keep the colonies of bees from dividing at this time of year. The two parts of colony which swarnas will not produce as much honey as if they .had re- ,mained one colony. The reason for this is that the swarm must draw out a new set of combs.~ and produce a new batch of brood before it can store surplus honey. This will take the weather.
 The old colony from which the swarm issued will not produce any surplus for at least two weeks aften the swarning time since it has losS most of it's field bees and must alse have a. queen emerge and become fer tilized. It will take week or ten days for enough of the older bees to become field workers for them to bring in any quantity of honey. By this time the new queen will have a number of larvae to be fed so that it will be two weeks or more before this colony can get to storing surplus. You will see then, that a swarm takes out at least two weeks of the best part of the honey flow, says L. B. Crandall, bookkeeping specialist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs, Conn.,
 One of the best control methods to use on such a colony is to re-queen it with a young Italian queen before it has made preparations for swarm ing,
 Another method which works out very well is the Demaree method. This briefly is to place all the brood and eggs in one live body and all the combs of honey and empty combs in another. filling up any empty space with frames of foundation. and have the queen in the body conta ming the cobs of honey and empty combs Put this last body in the old location, and place a queen excluder on. it., then put on two supers, and finally the body containing the brood on top of all By this method, the queen is sep arated from the brood by at least two supers. which very effectually checks swarmine. If the bees in the top body begin queen cells, it will cause no trouble since the queens cannot get out to mate so will die without causing swarming.

SH0PMAN DIES OF
 WOUND
Police Have Not Located Three Hold-up
 Men.

Shot in the abdomen by one of three hold-up men who attempted to rob him in his grocery store at 173 Church street, about 11:3O o'clock last night, Car1nine Andrinolo died at 9 o'clock this morning in the Bridge port hospital, where he was taken immediately after the shooting. The police have not yet succeeded in locating the men who are responsible for the killing.
 at the. Bridgeport hospital late last night, Andrino1o said that he was alone in his store when the three robbers entered. One of the men spoke to him in Italian and demand ed his money. The eroceryman re- fused to hand over the cash, and one of the men struck him over the head with a club. Another man drew a revolver at the same time, and shot
 
 three men then fled from the store.
 The wounded man staggered to the door of his shop and called for help. Leonard Riccio, of 169 Church street, was the first to arrive at the scene of the shooting, and to him Andri- no1o turned over s27o which hes had in his pocket. He then collapsed on the sidewalk.
 At the Bridgeport hospital. where the man was taken after receiving Urea tnent at the Emergency hospital, it was found that his clothing and flesh had been burned by powder. The murderer evidently pressed the revolver against his victim as he fir ed the fatal shot.
 The only description which An drinolo could give of his assailants was that they were three young men apparently between the ages of 19 and 25 years All of them were short and had smooth faces. He told the police that he had never seen any of the men before. John Chapo, of 234 Church street, told detectives that he saw a man running down the street with 8 revolver in each hand imme- diately after the shooting.
 While the police at present are working on the theory that robbery was the motive for the killing, they are also conducting a rigid 1nvestga- tion into the dead mans family af- fairs. Nothing has been discovered as yet which leads the authorities to believe that the murder may have been the climax to a feud in which Andrinolo may have been involved Detective Sergeant Edward Wheeler and Detective Vocco1a are working on the case.

OUR ANCESTORS LEARNED WAYS
 OF WILDERNESS

'"The first people who came over here were awful, terrible tenderfeet. they came near starving to death in the woods which were filled with the most magnificent game in the world, they went hungry where there were moose bigger than domestic oxen, where deer roamed by the thousands, where caribou travelled in great herds where wild turkeys walked in the woods, where quail and ruffled grouse by the thousands scratched among the brown leaves and where the un- derbrush was alive with small game" writes Dan Beard in Boys Life for July. Added to this were rivers swarmfng with fish. Yet the settlers starved because they did not know how to help themselves to the feast spread for them.
 The settlers could not at first un- derstand the language of the wild: gradually, however, occasional young men and boys would break away from the settlements. join the 1n- dians and live the lives of Indians; sometimes they would come back and their stories of the wilderness, of ad- venture of the trail. Of the big game hunting and the warpath, would send thrill down the spines of the other boys and young men and cause them
