LETTER FROM HARDING.
(By Associated Press.)
Danbury, Aug. - Governor Ho1-
comb. Lieutenant Governor Wilson
other men prominent in Republican
councils in Connecticut are attending
a dinner being given in the automo-
bile show building at the Danbury
Fair Grounds this afternoon, as a
testin to Congressman Schuyler
Merritt of Stamford. Ex-Congress-
man Walter N. Chandler of New
York, Senator Frank B. Brandegee
and Congressman Merritt of this state,
and Miss Helen Boswell of New Y York,
are the principal speakers.
The following letter from Senator
Harding, Republican presidential
nominee, was read:
Referring to your recent letter
concerning your celebration in honor
of Congressman Schuyler Merritt, to
be held August 4. I wish you would
convey to those who attended this af-
fair my cordial greetings and best
wishes.
Permit me also to say that the
spirit of Republicanism was never
more pronounced than it is now. By
every token that comes to me, 1 read
a determination resolved upon vic<
tory. I can ascribe this feeling to
the issues before us and the condi-
tions that confront the nation. Our
people want to return to conStitu-
tiona1 government. They formal
peace that our affairs may be adjust
ed to a tranquil state from which
they may measure the future.
But we want a peace that is real
and not imaginary; a peace based up
on fixed and determined basis, that
maintains and recognizes our own
dearly bought Heritages that came
with our independence; that inde-
pendence we propose maintaining un-
der all circumstances and at all cost,
and we shall not be begui1ed into a
surrender of our sovereign rights by
any specious scheme, however it may
f0 hot nt
contain a clear definition of our au-
thority over our destinies and the
lives of our youth. Such a. policy in
svites the cordial support of all re-
gardless to previous party Affiliations
and especially appeals to the instinc-
tive patriotism of the young men and
women"

vice registrations made by owners of
new buses and IS drivers have been
granted licenses to operate jitneys up
to the present time according to the
figures given out at the depa rtmen,
this morning. ~ ~-f &C.
The rush has not come up to the
predictions made that 300 new buses
would be brought to this city. At the
department this morning it was said
that the men coming to this city from
out of town are having a great dea:
of trouble in securing licenses due to
the fact that they cannot answer to
the questions asked about the location
runs. 1T is very necessary said one
of the members of the department this
morning, that the bus operators
should have at least a general knowl
edge of the streets on their run to as
siSt the strangers coming here from
out of town that they might know
pecially late at night when strangers
arrive in the city on late train and
wish to get to a certain Street on any
of the runs and it has been found that
some of the drivers have not the least
idea where to take them or just where
to let them Off" -.

Are Feet A
Vehicle?
Ask N0rWalk

South Norwalk, Conn, Aug. 4.-The
police no longer linger in the streets,
the stray dog or cat seems apprehen-
sive while midnight oil is being burned
by the legal minds of the city who are
graphing with the weighty subject of
just what a new city ordinance means
by the word vehicle
Attorney William A. Griffin, Jr., at
tackled the validity of the new. ordi-
nance in court this morning and a
special session of the court will be
held next Monday "a further consider
the matter.
The mystery of the whole matter
which has set Norwalk a-thinking as
she never thought before, is that the
new ordinance prohibits, between GER
tain hours, the parking of vehicles"
within certain areas.
No distinction is made whether the
vehicles is for transportation, is a per-
sons feet, a baby carriage, horse
and wagon, an automobile or a trolley
car, hence the doubt in the minds of
ALL as to whether they are liable to
arrest if they stop for a minute or
two.

MAIN FIGURE
in ACCIDENT

Charles Smith of 96S Laurel ave-
nue., of this city, figured in an auto
mobile accident last night on the
Milford turnpike and was held by the
police of West Haven last night The
accident occurred at a point beyond
the Halfway House, and while the
police of Milford were quickly at the
scene of the accident, the exact spot
where the trouble occurred was in
the town of Orange, and the police
of the latter place were comlnunicat-
ed with.
Smith, who was alleged to have
been intoxicated while driving, was
taken to the Orange town Jail at
West Haven, and charged with op-
Grating a motor vehicle while under
the influence of liquor. The case
has been continued until August s,
in the West Haven court.
The accident happened about 10
O'Clock when a party of five, travelling
in a car, were so crowded on the
road by the appearance of a third
automobile, that it was completely
overturned. No serious injury or
death resulted.

so PER CENT. OF
SHOPS SANITARY

Due to the systematic and regular
inspection by the members of the
board of health. it has been found
that SO per cent. of the 100 barber
shops in this city are in a highly
sanitary co&dition. 1t was found that
the shops were unsanitary for two
reasons. First, because of the lack
of steriliza ton, unclean instruments
gave skin infections principally the
one known as BARRIERS Itch Ton
sorial shops. for the most part, have
a sterilizer in which the instruments
are boiled until they are clean Sec
ondly, because the towels were also
unclean. Previously they had been
thrown in a sort of boiler and left
there until wanted. The inspectors
found that they were anything but
clean when used again.
1t is interesting to note that in
many shops the old-fashioned Shawn g
mug has been done away with and
in its place has been installed the
paper cups such as those used in
drug stores and which may be thrown
away after being used once.

TRIES TO SHOOT
TIRES OFF CAR

Avon, Conn.,, Aug. 4-This town
had a wild west scene yesterday when
Deputy Sheriff Paola tried to shoot
the tires off an escaping automobile.
There is no record that he hit them,
though he got his man.
James Musgola, with his truck, ran
amuck through the streets of Avon.
Sam Gold, who was riding on the
running board, was thrown off when
the truck ran into Bonesio's car, and
was so badly injured he was taken to
the hospital. The car then ran to-
ward a. pile of ties. Mrs. Kulrowsl>i,
with three small children, was in the
path of the car and she tried to
shield the children with her own body
but one was struck and bruised.

ed and he set out after Musgola with
several cars, using wild West Movie
tactics in shooting at the tires in an
endeavor to stop the truck. Musgo-

More Buses On
Stratfield Line
TO Meet Kicks
Former Tro1leynen En-
ployed Now BY Jitney-
men AS Starters of the
Buses - Connecticut
Company Arranging
the New Schedule Of
Fare.

With the addition of several new
jitneys on the -Stratfield. d.Seaview, ave-
nue. line today. the service to the pub
lie on this run was considerably i'm
proved, according to bus association
officials this noon. Due to the fact
that this line. particularly the STRAIT
field end of it, is practically nom
paying, operators have been loath to
select it, preferring to operate on
lines where the traffic is much heag-
ier. ~
Officials said today that the better
service now established to Stratfeld
is. to be maintained even though the
returns are slight. A general i'm
provenlent in all of the other lines
is also reported to be taking place.
and to further this end, officials of
the bus associations are busily en-
gagged in preparing plans and rules
for the Standardization of the service.
One of the steps being taken to
improve the service is to increase the
efficiency of the men employed as
starters, and with this in mind en-.
p1oyment has been given to a num-
Der of former trolley employees with
experience in that work. This ex-
pertinent is reported to be working
out satisfactorily.
Organization of the mayors ,inves-
tigating committee for the purpose of
studying the transportation problem
was completed at a meeting yester-
day. Percy T. Litchfield was ap-
pointed chairman and S. H. Bullard
was made secretary. Other mem
bers include Alderman Arthur Brown,
E. H. Dillon and George Bevans. the
latter representing the jitneymen.
Mr.. Dillon is now in Europe but
aais place the committee is to be
held open during his absence, mas
much as the investigation is expected
to continue well into the fall season.
Committee Offices have been estab-
lished in the Manufa cturers building
on State street, where another meet
ing will take place at 2 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon.
The Connecticut company is engaged
in making out a rate of fare under
the plan authorized by the Public
Utilities board and it was expected
that that schedule would be made
public today. At the office in New
Haven The Tt mes~was told, however,
that the schedule was not yet ready
but that it was hoped that it might be
in shape to announce later in the day.
