Fear Nearly < Cost Child
 His Life

In imminent danger of having his breathing organs shut off, M1chael Pottok, two and one-hah years old, of 90 Webber street, was taken to the Bridgeport hospital this morning, in a dangerous condition. The young ster snuffed a. shoe button into his nose yesterday, and the foreign body is so located that it is in immediate danger of slipping into his wind pipe, when death might be a matter of but a few minutes.
 Michael was taken ta the Elmer gency hospital. Doctors found that an anesthetic would have to be ad- n1iniStered before a probe could be made for the button.
 It first was necessary to secure the permission of the mother. The hos pitaI authorities say that the mother feared the operation, and decided that the button would work out by itself. This morning the child's con- dition was considerably worse.
 He was again taken to the Elmer gency hospital. Drs. Weiss and Coyle found that the button had worked itself farther into the boys nose It was resting on the edge of the rear nasal cavity, and any undue movement might project it into his wind pipe.
 Young Pottok was removed to the Bridgeport hospital where the button was successfully removed.

 Damaged By
 Sprinklers

Fifteen rolls of newsprint paper were badly damaged by water from an automatic sprinkler system this morning, when fire swept through a shed in the rear of the Bridgeport Storage company's storehouse at 36S Main street. Total loss is estimated at approximately s4.0O0, of which only s1,0O0 was actually created by the fire.
 The blaze, which was discovered at 9:41 o'clock, started in a pile of rub bish, and quickly spread through the shed in which the refuse was piled. The heat was great enough, however, to open the automatic sprinklers in tn emain building, and the paper was damaged by the sheet of water which poured down from the overhead pipes. Bremen were on the job for more than two hours.
 An investigation of the fire origin of the blaze will be started this after noon, and it is possible that defec- tive wiring may be found to have been the real cause of the confagra- tion. The shed dn which the flames started was practically destroyed.

Refuses to Assume
 Any Responsibility
 For Election Result
Emphatical1y S t a t e Their Opposition to the
 Candidacy of Wilson Executive Commit
 tee Holds Session Yes
 terday.
Republican

The Republican Voters League, through it's executive committee, yesterday indefi- nitely refused to assume any responsibility for the outcome of the coming mayoral election and went on record as still be- ing opposed to the candidacy of Wilson for that office.
 The executive committee met yes terday afternoon to decide a future policy. The situation was a difficult one. The members are Republicans the party if possible. They felt, how tver, that they had gone as far as they could during the pre-convention fight in offering to support the can cf a politician. They now felt that in H1e face of the action of the dele gates, in renomtnating the mayor in spite of the fact that the majority of the primary vote was against hmi, releases them from all obligations to follow the party.
 The statement is the result of care full deliberation and met with the seel It Is a defiance of the admin istration leaders, serving notice upon them that they can not ignore the wishes of a majority of the party
 
 steps, if any, the league will take now, none of the committee was pre- pared to state, but they do say, un- equivocally, that they shall still work Hnanistration in the oity hall. Fred Atwarer measures up to the standard of what they demand.
 In the mean time the Republican organization is having other troubles of it's own. with rumors that there is no sort of harmon in the TovtA com mfttee. Since 1t Is the Town chair man who conducts the campaign some !the near future. w. D. Fitzpatrick ihas summoned the convention to re- convene next Thursday night in the high school at 3 o'clock, and at that time a revision of the rules will al- most surely take place.
 ~ It is assumed that the party will go back to the old way of choosing fthe Town chairman and that City man upon whom the none too easy task of getting back to a smooth working organization will fall. An drew J. Northey Is also mentioned flor the position, but Robinson is the most experienced man for such job land he can undoubtedly have the place. Because of the fact that he feels that the situation calls for dras- tic and prompt action to keep the or sanitation intact, he will in all prob ability accept the post
 - Up to date none or the rumored gresignations have been handed in, as far as could be learned today. F. William Behrens, for many years president of the Board of Charities, is seemingly slated to take the place of treasurer which William Seeley held until some months ago when he re- signed.
 Both parties are holding back and cans can not do so until the Town committee is reorganized. The Dem ocrats are giving this week to per- fecting their arrangements and will probably be ready to make an an- nouncement late this week or early next.

Six Weeks
 Food Supply
 In This City

More than 2,ooo motor trucks could be pressed into emergency service in Brid dgeport for the transportation of food supplies should the threatened nationwide railroad strike material ize. Sufficient food supplies are on hand at present to adequately care for the needs of the city from four to six weeks. Provision dealers and wholesale and retail meat, grocery and vegetable merchants are arrang- ing for the immediate receipt or stocks far above normal proportions to have in reserve in case the strike becomes an actua1ity.
 There are approximately 5000 mo- tor trucks of all descriptions in Bridgeport, according to figures fur- nisfed by State Highway CoHrn1s sioner Bennett. It is estimated by local traffic experts that between 4o and 50 per cent. of this number could be pressed into immediate use with out seriously retarding the usual bus mess in which the trucks are engag- ed Even more than 1000 could be commandeered if a really acute situ- ation should arise, and in such case even private pleasure and de- livery cars could be secured.

Take Notice.

We desire to inform our patrons
that in the future it will be necessary
that all buildings being wired for
electricity will have to be inspected
by our representative before we will
connect them to our lines.
There has been numerous buildings
wired in the past that had poor work
done on them, and in view of this we
want to protect our customers and
ourself by inspection of all new jobs
done in the future.
We believe that our customers will
agree with us that we are taking the
right step in demanding that inspec-
ton be made of electric wiring due to
the fact that poor work makes h:z-
ard of fire, and we earnestly ask for
your cooperation in this matter.
