ington, Idaho and Montana, and the franz
ing of a constitution and bylaws to govern
the same was the object of delegated con-
vention held in the Mt. Zion Baptist church
of this city last Wednesday and Thursday.
1t has for it's object missionary and edll-
cational campaign along the Pacific Slope
and the permanent establishment OF book
concern backed by publishing house. Much
enthusiasm on the part of the delegates was
shown and they are very hopeful OF I'M
bounded success After effecting perma-
nent organization the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year: Rev. u.

THE MAYORALITY SITUATION

In our opinion the municipal street car
system is at issue in the candidacy of Hugh
NJ. Caldwell. While he has not made any
public statement to the effect that he did
not favor Seattle's ownership of the street
car system, yet what he has publicly said
on the subject could be easily construed
into meaning that he is opposed to the sys.
tom as operated under the city government
If he did not acturl'y oppose it as mayor he
would do nothing to push it along, yea if
he d! not actually handicap it's efforts On
the other hand Mayor Fitzgerald has been
the constant and consistent friend of the
street car system as the property of the city
of Seattle and if elected mayor he will en-
deavor to give it fair and impartial trial
for success. Despite the fact the city paid
good round sum for the street car SYSTEM.
but at that it's not bad investment and i,
making good. AS said above, if elected,
Fitzgerald will trv to make it success. A
majority of the citizens of Seattle showed by
their votes that they favored the city TAX
ing over the system and we do not believe
they have changed their minds. IT, how.
ever. the street car system is to be the issue
and if Caldwell is not favorable to it and
Fitzocrald is, then the friends of the NJ. O.
of TIE street car system should rallv to Fitz-
gerald though thew favor Caldwell as be-
tween the two men. Cayton's Weekly ia
vOrs the election Of Fitzgerald chiefly be-
cause he is for the success of the street ca"
system and it is against Hugh NJ Caldwell
because he has not given any evidence of
being Favorable to the proposition.

This is a Christian age and this is a
Christian country and it raises millions of
dollars annually to promote Christianity not
only at home, but in every land and coun-
try where humanity is oppressed and yet
right here in this liberty loving and peace
abiding United States of America eighty
cOlOred men, women and children were
lynched last year and in ma ority Of the
cases the most brutal forms of sabotage
were practiced upon the unfOrtunates. The
world now knows those cOlOred unfOrtu-
mates were not lynched for attacking white
women, but for Offences in many instances,
that would not have drawn penitentiary
sentence in any part of our cOutry except
the South and not even there unless the
accused was a colored person. The odium
and disgrace Of the lawlessness against the
colored people Of this country rest upon
the heads and hands of the white people
and though the atrocities are committed for
the most part by southern white men, yet
white men all through the North, East and
West will have to share the disgrace the
same as the white men Of the South. Think
about sending millions of dollars and thou
sands Of missionaries to Turkey and other
places to save the lives Of Armenians, when
the brothers and fathers of those mission
aries are practcing the same blood curdllng
outrages on the colored citizens among
them that the Turks are perpetrating upon
the Armenians. You say, there is no relief,
Then you admit that this is mere govern
mental experiment and it is just as likely
to collapse as it is to continue Thousands
of European Reds are being deported to
their former homes because they preach
sabotage and the overthrow Of our govern
ment, and yet in the South the white man
is even more radically Red than those being
dcported but he is lauded for his pa
trotism and for his great love Of country
This country can not exist half wrong
and half right and if it continues to try 1t
there is grave danger of catastrophe over
taking it.

Joe Smith says Fitzgerald took the
"cake', and therefore is public fake
which charge Joe Smith will have to prove
or he himself will be reproved; and now
in durance vile he's helt until he wins the
legal belt. Now Smith man of much
renown, for fighting campaigns like clown,
and loves his country, oh how true, as he
one time wore the patriotic blue; and it's
interest he protects, when something for
himself expects. However, what he wanted
at this time. is still a secret in his mind
but if Fitzgerald by him is skinned, Mayor
Caldwell doubtless will take care of him.
But, if it's fact our mayors a crook, and
Joe Smith had him in his book; why wait
until election time, to tell the public Of his
crime? While grand jury work doeth often
fail yet an Indictment turns the scale
and relegates one in such disgrace to the
official grave yard place. Now if Joe
Smith possessed the facts that would have
put our mayor behind the cracks. then to
the jury he should have told how Fitzgerald
robbed the city cold and if the jury thought
his charge was true it would have made
our mayor look blue; and then he never
would have filed his declaration for a city
child. TO me it looks like campaign rot
when such a low down sinking plot is
only sprung at lection time that things
may come to me and mine.

obvious that I was ordered to this port to take charge. In receiving my orders I was told that while the board appreciated the fact that expenses of all sorts were high in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. still, it felt that there must be something wrong when their vessels paid such prices, for instance, as S4 Q pound for butter.
 Tt seems that the practice was, when a Shipping Board vessel appear ed in the roads and signalled it's desire to enter. for those who had hopes of selling the vessels supplies to prepare for a plucking of the golden goose. The result was that when the vessel cleared bills were presented to the steamship agents, and promptly paid, since it was Shipping Board money, for every conceivable item at prices based on nothing except desire to obtain easy money.
 Our arrival put a quick and ef- fective stop to all this. We now have all Shipping Board vessels calling at

State To Enforce
 Rigidly Law On Bus Overlooking
Commissioner Stoecke1 Says He Will Do So As a Matter of Protection to the Passengers Jitngymen Kick or Story of Lack of Jit- neys, Police and the j. Permits.

There will be a large force of agents of the state automobile de- partment in Bridgeport in few days sent here for the purpose of enforc- ing the law against the overcrowding of jitneys. Commissioner Stoeckel told Times reporter that at Dam bury yesterday and he said he pro posed to enforce the overcrowding law because, if there were accidents, damages could not be collected, if the accidents occur while the jitneur is violating the law.
 The officials of the jitney bus as- sociations claim that the story in the morning papers of lack of transpor- tation accommodations on North Main street is without any founda- tion. They say that the accommo- dations are sufficient to carry all pas sengers and the only trouble that they have in handling the crowds during the rush hours is that nearly everyone wants to board the first bus that comes along and crowd when there are usually several other half empty buses within a short distance back for which the passenger will not wait.
 Considera ble adverse criticism was
 given to the stand which the local
 pO1lCS Have ldkeH On the Issuing or
 consents to drivers which are prelinn-
 mary to the issuance of a State Pub lie Service license.
 The local police refuse to grant the consents unless the applicant is fla miltar with all the streets in the city while the driver who comes from l Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury with state license can run on the streets without even seeing the Bridgeport police.
 The only effect of the stand by the 1 police will be to compel the appli- cants to go to some other city and get the required consent when a state license will be issued which au- l thorizes the holder to operate in this city.

Shipping Board Defrauded
 Of Thousands Of Dollars

buenos Aires, Aug. 5-The United States Shipping Board has been de- frauded of many thousands of dollars through practices which amount to systematic fleecing' of Shipping Board vessels in the River Platte trade, according to reports to the board by Captain G. L. Garden, special representative of the Shipping Board Emergency Fleet in Buenos Aires.
 Captain Garden, accompanied by Captain of Engineers L. c. Farwell, arrived here a month ago to take charge and protect the boards in terests. When I arrived here," he said to The Associated Press corre- spondent, ship chandlers, repairn en and others connected with the ship ping industry seemed to be in gen. eral agreement to mulct the Shipping g Board vessels to the limit

Declares the Ladies Are With Him and He Knows That They'll Get the Vote At This Election.
(By a Staff Writer.1

Danbury, Aug. 5.-"I hope my name won't be mentioned at the convention. I need a rest and I am going to take it. said Governor Marcus H. HolconIb to a Times representative yesterday when asked if he would again be a candidate. You know I didn't want to run two years ago. I told them I needed a rest, but they insisted that as our country at war it was my duty to run and I acceded to their wishes, but now I am going to take the rest that I need. They say that I am handicapped because I woulG not get the women's votes. Why, twice as many women would vote for me as would for the other fellow
 The governor did not arrive In time for the meeting of the State Commit tee, but arrived at the Fair Grounds about o'clock and mingled socially with the mass of people at the grounds.
 The way Governor Holcomb was al- lowed to wander around the grounds unattended by any of the upstate leaders and apparently ignored by the factions opposed to the Roraiback re- eime was noticeable. For minutes at a time the Governor would stand alone and then some kind soul notbc- ing his isolation would come forward and engage him in conversation. r To a remark of The Times man that he had not seen John T. King around the grounds the Governor said, NO, guess he ain't here. I haven't seen Cliff Wilson either. Is he here?'
 When informed that Mayor Wilson was present the Governor said, "Is that so? I'd like to see him."
 After the Merritt dinner the Gov ernor made a neat little speech on the pla atform which bad been erected in front of the grand stand, saying, T am glad to see so many ladies pres- ent- I'm gladder to see the ladies perhaps than they are to see me.

 Many Democratic leaders, including George White, Chairman of the Ma tional Committee and Senator Harri- son of Mississippi, were reported en- route here for pre- e-notifica ton con ferences. The advance guard of Democratic pilgrims also was expect- ed. Hotels were filling up, more dec orations appeared, and the local com n1ittee busy completing preparations for the conclave.
 Makeup of the special campaign committee and the spea king itineraries of Governor Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt are the principal affairs re- maining to complete the campaign and organization.

AUTOS HERE TONUMBER
 OF 2O,OOO
About 15,OOO Pleasure Cars Alone Are Owned By Res
 idents of Bridgeport

There are approximately 15,00O pleasure cars in this city at the pres ent time according to figures given out at the Bridgeport branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles in po- lice headquarters this morning.
 The actual number of registrations that have been made at the local office the 1st of August show that there are 10, ,480 pleasure cars listed; 3,011 commercial motor vehicles; 530 pub lie Service vehicles or jitney buses; 619 motorcycles and 423 side cars. Of the actual number of pleasure car registrations the number does not show the exact number of machines of this type in the city due to the fact that a number of thes, cars are listed from the Hartford office. The same rule holds good in the case of the 530 registrations of public service motor vehicles as a number of extra buses were brought into the city when the trolleys stopped running that had been listed in other Con- necticut cities.
 The records further show that there were 13,129 persons who applied for
 
 who made application to drive motor cycles. The total number of persons who applied for licenses to drive jit- neys was S49. The approximate num- Der of jitneys that are operating in this city at the present time is given as 800 by the department in their re- port. The amount of business that has been transacted since January 1 to August 1 was $206, ,669. 75 While this amount is unusually large the state records show that New Haven leads Bridgeport by about $30, GOO. Business in the department has shown a large increase over the business of last year due to the added number of new cars | that have come into this city.
 There is listed in the report figures | that show there were 1,071 motor ve- hicles transferred or sold to other parties. Of this number 261 were of the commercial type and 10S were public service vehicles.
