Will Meet To Discuss rec
 Campaign

The Bridgeport Neighborhood Im- provement Committee of which Henry Cliff is chairman will meet this after noon at o'clock in the offices of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss plans for the tree and shrub cam paign to be held here September IA, IS, and 16. George Eames city tree warden, and W. H. Ham are complet- paign a success. MT. Ham announced today that 25,000 circulars will be ready for distribution on Monday. largely through the schools, giving in and trees and telling when they flower and what care should be taken of them. The Times will cooperate with the committee in charge of the campaign by publishing a series of descriptive articles to explain the particular advantages of the various plants that will be sold during the three day drive.
 A series of pictures have been col lected by MT. Ham illustrating the proper way of planting and showing what results can be obtained in beau tifying otherwise unattractive homes at a nominal expense. One Of the principal points which the committee is eager to have the public under stand is how cheap it is to plant great mnay of the decorative plants and vines and how little care they
 require. The pictures will be shown on the screen at Polls theatre all of next week to give practical proof of the results that can be obtained. Mrs. Elmer Ravens is in charge of the sale and expects to have a large number of women to help her. AL ready inquiries are coming in, show ing that there is good deal of pub lie interest in the experiment. The churches of the city are a special objective of MT. Hams at tack. Last week he sent an open let ter to the clergymen of the city call ing their attention to the unattractive exterior of most of the churches in the city and offering to provide vines for any that wished them. He hopes that there will be some response to his offer.
 Make the Park City a city of parks is a slogan which will prob 1 ably be used to emphasize the object
 of the campaign. It is hoped by those in charge that the property owners of
 Bridgeport will realize how much more beautiful an ugly town can be made by a generous application of trees, flowers, and vines to barren nlacPS

 In a statement to the police Kabie claims that Wilson reached for his pocket as though for "gat" or gun and that then he fired. The men had an argument, it is said, over a jointly owned automobile that was the sub ject of discussion and to the real ownership.

 Wilson then gave chase and Paul Milo of North avenue testified that they were apparently struggling on the ground when the second and third shots were fired.
 Should Wilson die and the case ever develop into murder charge it is probable that an important state wit ness would be Mrs. Pauline Barnsley 3S Madison avenue, an unwilling wit ness to the affair. She was passing the place proceeding to her home with her two children. She heard a shot fired, and man ran past her. She tried to leave the vicinity before anything happened" but the second man came upon the scene and is said to have grappled with the first, firing two more shots.

Cotton Textile Industry First To Emerge From
 Readjustment Period

Boston, Sept. 7-The cotton textile industry of America, which centers in New England has, according to figures tabulated here today, the dis tinction of being the first in America to come safely through the period of readjuStment.
 An eight cent rise in cotton, to- gether with government figures show ing 4O-3 per cent. crop, has been followed by an increased demand for the staple and the actual resumption Of manufacturing in full force in practically every mill center in New England In addition the rise in cot ton quotations on all the exchanges, has increased the value in cotton now hela and expected as the seasons crop in the South more than s5oO,0o0, ,0OO. Liverpool and other markets went up nearly thirteen dollars a bale. At the end of July five million, two hun dred thousand bales were known to net increase in the value of this cot ton in one day, has therefore, been nearly s1.00O,OOO.
 Coming simultaneously with thi increase in price, the New England milling centers have made tremend- ous increases in their actual consump- tion of cotton for manufacturing.
 The resumption of milling opera tions, means a great lessening of un- employment in New England. AL ready the best known mills are work ing day and night to supply the in- creased demand for cotton fabrics. In Fall River, the mills which have | been either shut down or on part time. were to resume full operations | today. In New Bedford, where high CT quality textiles were made, the figures today showed the mills were operating to ninety per cent. of nor-
 ma1- In Lowell, where there was a serious condition of unemployment
 the mills have resumed operations (Continued on Page e.)

 Ku Klux Klan

With Wild" jitneys and still wilder stills offering much cause for con- temptation, the Bridgeport police have had no time to give a thought to the Ku Klux Klan bug-a-boo which is now enjoying a grand dose of pub1i- city. Even if the local "coppers' had time to think it over It IS not likely that they could do anything about it.
 "I have never heard a word about Ku Klux Klan in Bridgeport" said Supt. Patrick Flanagan I've read a appears to me that they have a per feet right to organize without danger of violating the law, and without fear of interference. We cannot do any thing about the matter unless they break the laws"

Airship Arrives
At Air Station
For Army Tests

The balloon and afrship Sec
ton of McCook Field received
its first airship September 10. It
is a P-B type, non-rigid, manu-
featured by the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Co.. of Akron, Ohio.
1t was ferried to McCook Field
by Lieut.. G. w. McEntire, who
is stationed at Akron supervising
the construction of a larger air
ship which will probably make
a trial flight to McCook Field
about the first of the year.
This small airship made an av-
erage speed Of forty-four miles
per hour on the trip. averaging
twelve miles to the gallon of
gasoline and used less than three
quarts of oil.
The airship is to be used at
McCook Field to test out various
kinds of equipment now under
design and construction by the
the lighter-than-air sections.
A recent review of the press
reveals the fact that ships of
this type are used by motion
picture concerns for the taking
of aerial scenes, and that two
Los Angeles sportsmen flew a
pony blimp from their home to
Catalina Island for a few hours
fishing trip and brought back
their catch without leaving the
ship.
