DRIVER OF
 DEATH CAR IN COUNTY JAIL

Harry F'urgazy, Brooklyn, N. F., driver of the automobile that is be- lieved to have been the cause of the fatal accident near Nash's corner, Westport, late in the afternoon Fri day. is now at the County jail, having been unable at noon today to secure ball. He is held on a technical charge of manslaughter, lodged against him by the Westport authorities, pending the outcome of the inquest held Fri day and Saturday by Coroner John J. Phe1an.
 George W. Dilworth, Greens Farms, county, died a few hours after the crash. He was a son-in-law of Dr. D. M. Mcfarland, who conducts a sanitariurn at Greens Farms. John Ac- 2iarino, 32 Woodruff avenue, Brook lyn a passenger in the offending car also died in Norwalk hospital Friday night.
 westport police. aided by officers of the Prohibition Enforcement depart ment are working on the case, 1t be- Ing a theory that the offending speed Ing car that crashed the Dilworth ma chine head-on in broad daylight, was in the rum running trade. Should suf- ficfent evidence of this nature be se- cured 1t is probable that an additional charge will be placed before Furgazy, crash; and that other riders in the New York car will also be held.
 No formal charge of the latter na- ture however, had been filed in the office of United States Commissioner Hugh J. Lavery. up to noon today. and such cases are first arraigned in his court,

ALL LOCAL THEATRES NOT DANGEROUS
 SAYS CHIEF

At a. meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce this morning Mayor At water, Commissioner Dave, Chief D. E. Johnson, Building Commissioner D. NJ. Roland, and representatives from 20 theatres outlined a plan through hich complete investigation of every theatre in the city is under taken at once so that the public may know finally of the conditions obtain ing in every theater in Bridgeport.
 The theatre managers were earnest in their promise of cooperation and have assured those present and the public that they will do everything in their power to make the examination complete.
 A committee was named including one representative from the fire de- partment, one from the building com tnissioners, Thos- D. Day, electrical expert from the New England Fire in- the theatre owners and one from the Chamber of Commerce. This com Taittee begins its work tomorrow morning and will report to the mayor.
 Mayor Atwater expressed himself as highly pleased with the spirit of CO., operation expressed by all present, and assured the meeting that all those in the movement were anxious for constructive service to the community through not only giving to the citf- zens of Bridgeport theatres as nearly safe as 1t is possible to make them, but to give the public entire confidence that these conditions obtain.
 Fire Chief D. D. Johnson wishes
 the impression corrected that all
 or many theatres are managed in a manner dangerous to the pub
 lie. He has stated that certain
 theatres are so managed or were
 managed at a time but made
 the statement that he hopes i'm
 proxements have already been
 made fin them. He stated enl-
 phatfcally that his statement did
 not include all theatres.

Complete Victory Is
 Indicated for Veness

Last minute observations indicate a victory for the Dem mocratic aldermen in their presidential election tonight. Confident of two Republican votes. they now have sufficient strength to create a tie. Inasmuch as Mayor Fred ciding ballot, the Democratic candi- date, Alfred E. VeneSs, is virtually assured of election. In such an event, Mayor Atwater will have as president of the most important board in the city government, one of his strongest supporters, and one arboring prac- tically the same political views as himself.
 Mayor Afwater will deliver his first annual message, outlining briefly his policy for the next two years and recOmm ending the initial steps of his plan to place the administration of the city on a sound business basis. He will announce his desire that a uniform system of accounts be installed in every city department to supp1ant the individual, Impractical and oid-fash- toned systems now in use. He will urge aldermanic support in the col lection of $1,G00,000 in back taxes, and may possibly touch upon his pro- posal to appoint a second assistant city attorney to work entirely on tax collections.
 To Name Committees.
 Personnels of thirteen standing committees of the board will be named by Mayer Atwater, and the personnel of one. the finance com nlittee, will be selected by ballot It is logical to suppose that Mayor At water will name Democratic aldermen as cEairnen Of the appoIntive COZ snittees, and will leave the balance of power of each committee with the Democra

SANTA FE TO BUILD
Cement CROSSING AT
EAST CENTRAL SOON

The Santa Fe company has start
ed making the cement blocks to
be used for the new crossing at
East Central avenue. according to
a notice received yesterday by City
Manager James Gladding from the
company officers. The blocks are
to be used instead of solid cement
work so that they can be removed
without damage should 1t become
necessary. 1t is expected that the
crossing will be completed within
few days.
City commissioners have urged
the construction of good cross
ing at Central avenue for a num-
her of years. The work has been
held UP for some time due to It'll
cation which the company felt
should be- settled before a perma-
nent crossing was constructed.
The matter has come before the
commission on a number, of &C.
casions during the past few weeks,
and the city manager was REQUEST
ed to bring it to the company's at
tention. A cement crossing was
recently constructed at the switch
on East Central avenue east of the
main crossing.

MARS INHABITED
CONCL uSION Of
KANSAS EXPERT
nv The Associated Press

Emporia, Kans., Dec. Sis Mars
inhabited? Does it support any
kind of plant life? Does the moon
sustain any form OF vegetation? r.
f. Miller, professor of astronomy at
the College of Emporia, thinks that
there is considerable evidence in
support of Professor William H.
chickering's recent announcements
that the moon and Mars have yego-
cable life, and that it is not i'm
probable that Mars also supports
an animal existence.
Professor Miller says that GER
tain color on the surface of the
moon seems to spread as the slant
of the sunlight changes. These
colors are supposedly made by veg
citation, which grows only in tho
sunlight of the lunar day. "There
could be no large expanses of Vega
tation on the MOON" declares Mr..
Miller, las there are on the earth,
because there is practically no at
mosphere and the temperature IS
too low. The plant life, if it exists
at all, Is of q most meager ana
primitive sort, flaring UP like mush-
rooms in the heat Of the lunar day,
which is approximately two of our
weeks in length, and dying in the
inconceivably low temperature of
the lunar night. 1t is likely that
vegetation is confined to a few

Miller. THE fact, too, that Mars
days are about the same as ours and
her years approximately twi3e as
long leads one to conclude from
analogy that Mars has at least a
vegetable life" declares the pro-
fessor. "Great colored patches
suggest wide expanses OF vegetation.
