matter of distribution of Victory
Medals has been progressing nicely"
Notwithstanding the improvement
in the situation noted by the adj
jutant general there still is a good
deal of misunderstanding on the part
of veterans as to tlAe steps neces-

arrangements under way for the for
NAL presentation of the medals which
will take place on Nov. IL.

service men may apply for their dec

NEW YORK PAYS
 HIGH MEAT PRICES

While there has been no. advance in the price of meat in Bridgeport, New Workers find that their meat is cost ing them from 10 to 12 cents higher over the retail counter, which Is an unusually high level for the time of the year.
 Edwin c. O'MhIlev. Commissioner of Market of New York. stated that the army beef was being sent to points in nearby states, causing meat to be much cheaper in this section than in New York.
 Short shipping to the New York market is largely responsible for the high price wave there Nr- O'Malley said. He explained that the packers find no trouble elsewhere in the coun- try, while they are able to raise prices there. The surplus army beaf pur- chaa sed by the big packers from the Canadian and American governments has indirectly created the situation. The frozen meat was taken by the packers to Connecticut, Syracuse and other points in the nearby states, '' said MT. O'Ma1ley "It cost them 10 1-1 cents and was sold as high as IS and 20 cents, although the price in New York was restricted to F cents by the Government regulations"

TO LIMIT wH1sKEY DOSES.

Washington, July 14-Prohibition enforcement officers and dry advo- cates are exercised over the growth of the liquor prescription business in Washington and other cities. A move is on foot to limit the number of prescriptions per doctor to 100 for three months. The regulations now provide that each doctor may have a book of 100 blanks a month and more if absolutely necessary. No law limits the number. but the Prohibition en- forcement office arbitrarily fixed 100 as the number. Doctors contend that they and not the enforcement officers should know how many prescriptions are needed.
 "when the matter of the number of prescriptions was discussed by the Internal Revenue Bureau, it was the consensus of opinion that 100 pre- scriptions would last a physician a year, said R. S. Dodson, enforcement officer here. tThis was modified to 100 for three months, which surely is enough, except in the case of an epidemic. If an epidemic should occur, the Internal Revenue Bureau would be the last to put restrictions in the way of combating it."

Strand Of
 Hair In Pocket
Chauffeur in De Cordova Tragedy. Had Keep sake Very Like His Victims Hair Geiss- 1er's Wife Denies Any Unhappiness.

New London, July IA lock of blonde hair found in an envelope in the pocket of Bernard B. Geissler, the chauffeur who murdered Mrs. Arthur De Cordova. then committed suicide, may aid materially ip solving the mystery that at present surrounds the uua1 tragedy at North Stoningtor on Tuesday.
 This strand of hair which is the same color as that of the dead woman has not yet been proven as belonging to Mrs DeCorva but from the fact that other things seem to confirm the infatuation of the chauffeur for his employers wife it seems more than probable that in some way he had obtained the strand. On the envelope in which he carried it was subscrib ed, "In case of accident Or death place this under my pillow"
 by the news of the shooting, denied any stories that she and her husband lived together unhappily. She assert eS that they had been married three years and had lived very happily. She declared that as far as she knew her husband had no feeling for Mrs. DeCordova except of respect. which was due his employer. She denied absolutely the report that she and her husband had lived apart for several months, and also refuted the state ment that she had discussed the situa- tion recently with Mrs. DeCordova.

Necklace
 Was Stolen
 

The owner of the pearl necklace sent to the New Haven police by somebody in Bridgeport, calling him self Phillips, has been found. It belongs to Mrs. Thomas Hooker of New Haven, and the pearls are worth $500. She believes they were stolen from her home on Hil1house avenue, and the New Haven police have asked the Bridgeport police to get busy on the case.
 The name Joseph Philips" signed to the note which accompanied the package of pearls is believed to be a mythical one and no such person Is connected with the case. The sender is thought to be woman.
 Just how the pearls became sep arated from their owner is not dis closed by the police but the facts in the case seem to point towards the pearls being stolen from the Hooker home rather than in public. No re- port of any such thefts was made public at the time. The returning of the pearls does not cause the DO lice to slow up their inquiry into the theft in the slightest and with co. operation from the Park City detec. tives an arrest should be made short 1v.

Superintendent Frank L. Kibling of the local division of the Connecticut Company announced this morning that the first change in the schedule to give the public of Bridgeport bet ter and cheaper service would be- come effective tomorrow morning on that line would be eliminated and the fourth zone would be extended from Park avenue and Worth street to the Brooklawn terminus.

It is the intention of the com pany to. increase the rolling stock of the Bridgeport lines from 50 to 100 cars within the next few days.

 The Connecticut Company accord ing to Kiblinig are going to provide the riding public of Bridgeport the best service in the state within the coming 30 days to prove to the public that the jitney can be eliminated.

With petty thefts and robberies av- eraging at least two a day. the police have started a campaign against per sons who are believed to be responsi- ble for the breaks" It is believed that most of the robberies have been committed by sneak thieves who have been working independently, and not by an organized gang.
 Three small thefts were reported to the police today. Sneak thieves entered the home of Mrs. Abe Ko- lody of 892 Boston avenue, and made off with S60 in cash. In the home of Mrs. Della Legiere of IS Walleur court, key workers secured a gold watch and $35 in War Savn gs Stamps.

George E. Hudson of Bloomfield, N. J., reported to the New Haven po- lice that he had lost a portfolio con- taining $150,0O0 worth of securities on the road from Stamford to Bridge port on Saturday. He is a stock broker. Yesterday B. H. Alton of New Haven reported to the police that he had found such a portfolio but there was nothing of any value in 1t. Now the New Haven police want to hear from Hudson again.
 Alton, travelling engineer for the General Electric Company, reports having found it in the afternoon when driving from Stamford to this city, at a point a couple of miles or so this side of Norwalk, and lying in the mid dle of the road.
 While it was said there were some personal papers and securities in the portfolio when found by Alton, it is declared that the apparent value o1 these is said to be very, very much less than $15o,000.
 It is possible that previously the portfolio may have been in other hands than those of MT. Alton and was thrown away after having been rif1ed of the papers of great value which it was alleged to have con- tained. The name of MT. Hudson an6 the Bloomfield, N. J., address appear prominently on the papers remaining in the case as it was found last even ing.
 The portfolio was seen lying in the middle of the road and in full sight oi all traffic and it appeared to Alton hat just been dropped from a car imme diately ahead of him. He endeavor ed to catch up with this machine after he had stopped to recover the los case, but the leading car was making a fast rate of speed and got away be fore he could overtake it. He cam, straight on to New Haven and re ported his find to the police. He say he was not questioned by occupant of any other car, either returninl along the road or otherwise as t, whether he had found any such ar i tic1e

TWO FAMILIES
 CLAIMING BODY

With two families claiming the body as that of their missing daughter, in- terest in the famous New Canaan swamp murder mystery has broken forth anew. Police of New York and Connecticut have again taken up the tangled threads of the case, and it is expected that the identity of the mur- 'dered girl whose body was discovered in the Button Bush swamp, on April IA, 1919, will soon be established.
 The police are now endeavoring to connect the murder with an affair which occurred in Stamford in March, 1919, when a humber of men who were riding in an automobile shot police man :. and then q battled their way through the towns of Rye, N. r., and Greenwich. It is believed that the car may have borne the body of the dead girl, and the men fought the police in order that the murder should not be discovered.

 All itjneys and jitney. buses will continue on their usual runs tonaor- row, notwithstanding the ordinance passed by the aldermen Monday night al the solicitation of the trolley company, was the announcement made today by the officers Of the bus associations
 If an arrest is made the attorneys or the J1tneymen will endeavor to nave the city attorney make the first arrest test case. The jitneys run ming while the. courts are deciding on the legality of the arrest.
 In case the city attorney will not agree it is probable that an injunc-s tlon VIII be sought against the city ana ponce to prevent them from in terfer1ng with the jitneys until che courts have determined on the legal questions involved.
 In either case the jitney men are oetermlned to run their buses and will nave pondsmen ready to bail out any man arrested and spare men to take. thelr places while they are in cus- I tody. The attorneys for the jitney men claim that the ordinance is illegal and unconstitutional because the act pass I ca by the aldermen was not the one 1 signed by the mayor as it contained the additional word Not in the final | paragraph, and say that the insertion Of this word makes its meaning, the l exact opposite of the meaning of the ordinance reported by the ordinance committee and passed by the alder I men. ELI
 | It is also claimed that the status l or the jitney men cannot be changed by the aldermen during the term of l the license they were granted when | they began operations. Most of the l licenses run until the first of Janu- ary, 1921, and the attorneys claim that these are in the nature of a con- tract between the State and City on the one hand and the holder of the license on the other.
 It is claimed that an ordinance passed to change conditions during the term of the license is opposed to the Constitution of, the United States 1n~that it deprives a, man of his prop erty without due process of law. At tention is called to the fact that most of these jitney men have invested large sums of money in their cars under an agreement with the govern ing power that they would be allowed to operate for a year and that the en- |forcernent of an ordinance which puts them out of business is taking their property without due process of law. Besides their general counsel k'e1- : ner & Quinn of New Haven, the jit- 5 neyn en. have retained DeF'orest- & : Klein of this city and say they intend ) to retain the firm of Shannon & Will der. With this array of counsel the men feel that they will be able to = meet all legal difficulties
