 KAHN CLIPPINGS


 Washington. April 16.-Running through his mail, Chairman Kahn of the House Military Committee, swung back suddenly in his chair yesterday and the genial smile, characteristic of the Californian, got away from him.
 f"The nerve of the vagabond,' shouted the chairman, as his office force looked up in amazement.
 A big envelope mailed in Germany brought to MT. Kahn a clipping from a German newspaper containing an account of a trial of two Americans. who attempted to kidnap Grover c. Bergdoll, the Philadelphia draft evader.
 Its from Bergdoll or I'm a dutch man." MT. Kahn said. and then the joke of the thing caused him to laugh. Put it simply goes to show" he added that we ought to find out how he managed to escape and that he ought to be brought back to this country and put in jail where he be- longS.'

 COURT SETS
 RAY FREE

What is probably the last chapter in the tragic death of Andrew Steen was enacted at noon today in the Fairfield town court, before Judge Wakeman, when the case against Frank $. Ray was nolled upon pay ment of costs. On March 29 Steen,l ,l who lived at 126 Lenox avenue, wass riding in the rear seat of a Cole ca1E driven by Ray, of 945 Iranistan ave-E nue. Steen was accompanied by MisssS Miriam Kolb of Sherman court ' Fairfield.
 When near Benson's switch, Fair field, through an error of judgment upon the part of Ray the machine slightly side-swiped a standing troll ley, causing Steen to be thrown against the side of the automobile with such force that he died shortly after from injuries received.
 After two hearings before Coroner John J. Phelan, Ray was exonerated, btu last Saturday the case was con tinued that the State police might complete a separae investigation.
 Because of the prominence of both Steen and Ray in the business and club life, the case has created wide spread interest, and many were Ieuri- ous as to what the State police fnves- tigation might bring forth.

BIG SHOW IS
 HERE JULY 2

Word from New York where the Barnum-Ringling show is holding forth at Madison Square Garden in dicate. that in spite of the general business depression the big circus is playing to practically capacity busi- ness at every performance, while many of the shows are actual cases of turning away hundreds of would be patrons. Extra seats are used many times, and the advance sale would indicate that business will con &inue this way right up to the finish E of the New York engagement, which $ two weeks from today.
 The big show is described as highly satisfactory and elegantly mounted this year. the costuming and trap pings being by far the most beautiful ever shown in a similar performance
 The date for the Bridgeport show ing is Saturday July 2, quite late for Bridgeport, as was the former GUS 1om but threa days earlier than last season. It is also unusual thing for the show to play Bridgeport on Saturday. From here a long Sunday jump will made to Pittsfield, Mass. where an otherwise quiet celebration of Independence Day will be enliv- ened by the big circus

Iue i1iSI p1S LII ol IHG IlS" pdlIlS was fired by the president of the Board of Charities, F. W. Behrens. who said in effect that hundreds of poor and destitute will have to starve to death or at least be evicted from their homes unless the injunctions are withdrawn.
 Mayor Wilson brought up more heavy artillery this morning in the form of a letter to Seward B. Price, executive secretary of the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce, in which the Mayor said that the administration is confronted by three choices; namely to disregard the poor, to levy a special tax to raise more money, or to issue short term notes.
 The Mayor then in set terms said, T am of the opinion that you (the Chamber of Commerce) prefer the special tax solely for the purpose of making political capital, rather than for any benefit to be rendered the city,
 The Mayor then accused the Cham bHr of an attempt att "seIf-expIoita- tion"
 The Mayors letter follows:
 As l have outlined to you on sev- eral occasions, the employment sit acute every day and hundreds of our people are now receiving aid and as- slstance from the City as believe Mr Thorne has already advised you.
 
 My best information is that several months will elapse before conditions will even begin to improve This means that the City must provide for even greater number of people re- siding here who are in need.
 Il have believed all along that it was the part of good citizenship and wisdom for-the City to provide honest employment for those who are out of work and thus enable the unemployed to retain their Self-reSpect,
 We have reached the limit of our made this year for the support of outside poor. Many n1er- chants and landlords have been pa tient in collecting for. goods sold and rents overdue on the strength of or ders from the Board of Charities Sfer employment rendered on public work by hundreds of our citizens
 Due to the injunctions which have been inspired by your Chamber we are unable to pay many bills already incurred by the Board of Charities in providing aid and employment to the needy It is a Biblical injunction reinforced by statute, that we must provide for those in need who are residents of our city
 You apparently object to deficits

Reports that the Bridgeport Brass company was planning a general shut down were set at rest today. Un- stable market conditions and general lack of buying has necessftated temporary shutdown of one depart ment of the concern, affecting apEroxi- mately 100 employees. A general cessation of operations is not con temp1ated, however.
 Re-arrangeme ent of working hours has been put in force in the plants of the Crane Valve company, it was learned today. In place of the pre- vious arrangement when employees worked seven hours a day for five days, they will hereafter work eight and three-quarter hours for four days Although the encouragement shortens the working week, it makes no change in the net working time, as S5 hours will still be in effect.

Price Always Kept Low
and the Reasons Why

THE Chandler price has always been kept low
L without sacrifice of quality. This has been
made possible by the most efficient management,
the most modern factory and the highest financial
credit with sources of supply, together with the
fact that we have always built chassis, devel-
oped and refined the years have passed, but
never abandoned, because constantly more popular.
Some lines have manufactured simultaneously
as many as three or four distinct models-not styles
of body but chasses. They have come and gone.
You can probably imagine what such a policy
means in manufacturing costs, in selling prices
and in the resale value of such cars.

that of any car, after like period of service
