 Search ForShiip
Believe Discovery Of Mysterious Oil Burning Vessel Will Solve Mys- tery of Missing Boats.

Washington, June 23-Gov- ernment bureaus cooperating in efforts to solve the mystery of ships recently missing off Cape Hatteras, today pinned their hopes to the probability that a world search now on will establish the identity of a mysterious silent oil burning steamship which ignored dis tress calls while in the path of the disabled schooner Carel A. Deering.
 Ship logs everywhere are under search for clues to the whereabouts or this silent traveller. She will be traced. officials said, by a thorough check among marine and insurance companies, of all vessels passing off the North Carolina coast on the dates hxed for the ships listed as lost.
 The keeper of the Diamond Shoals nghtSh1p made a futile effort to sig nal the unidentified oil burner to go to the aid of the Deering when the schooner reported her anchors lost, r1I., oii puFheT passed on In the DeerIngs course without renderins, aid or responding to the Eghtship;s call The Hghtship keeper is said to have provided a description of the ship.

 Trolleys
 Considered

Reports from New Haven say that the Connecticut company is consider ing the trackless trolley cars, and to that end have sent representatives to the Schenectady, N. Y, plant of the actual demonstration. The General Electric company has a line running through their property which gives a fairly good idea of how the cars are in actual operation.
 The cars are similar to the present one-man affairs, excepting that they are probably a little higher, do not carry quite so many passengers, and depend upon perfectly smooth roads for their tires are solid.
 Without rails, a double overhead wire is necessary, as well as two troll ley poles. There are just double the number of overhead wires, making quite an unattractive network of cop per.
 The cars are operated from only one end, having a door only in the front, this has been one of the big arguments presented against the jit- or panic.
 The one thing in their favor, from the standpoint of the companies, is alleged comparative cheapness of operating expense, installation, and Of the one-man type, with no rails, all the operator has to do is to start the car, stop the car, open the door, shut the door, take care of the power controller and two issue transfers, call the streets, keep two trolley poles on the wires, and steer clear of the bumps. Outside of that he has nothing to do.

Gompers Says He
 Will Stand On His
 Record Of Al Years

Denver, Colo, June 2S-Govern- ment ownership of the railroads and naturalization of the mines are the two major issues on which John L. Lewis hopes to win the presidency of the American Federation of Labor, it was learned today. On the other hand, President Samuel Gompers was striving for reelection upon his record of the past forty-one years as leader in the American labor movement.
 In his first public statement as to his platform. MT. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, said:
 ''I stand for government ownership of the railroads and naturalization of the mines and other progressive leg islation that will give the workers and the toilers of America the freedom and justice in industry they deserve.
 q stand for health insurance, old age pensions and unemployment in Surance---a1 progressive measures for the relief of the working masses. The enactment of laws covering these sub jectS would give to the workers ad- euqate protection and reward for the service that they have rendered in dustry.''
 Mr Lewis said that he had taken no definite stand on the subject of re- lations with European trades union movements
 All my policies he continued, twill be formulated on a sane and constructive basis and be designed to meet and adequately dispose of the great issues that confront organized labor as they exist today.
 While President Gompers issued no statement, supporters in his be-

 The admiral apparently was the coolest man in Washington on this sweltering midsummer morning. He looked fresh and unperturbed in his ''whites'' with his ruddy face and close cropped beard standing out against the immaculateness of his uniform.
 The fact that he was a bit late did not seem to worry him either. He was greeted at the secretary's office by large gathering of newspaper rep resentatives and photographers and despite the latenesS of the hour the admiral did not say but there were while the cameras clicked and clicked

Following closely on the admission by officials of the Connecticut Com pany to the Public Utilities Commits sion yesterday that their net loss in 1920 was more than 1000, 900 is the announcement of State Tax Commis- s1oner William H. BIodgett of Hart ford that the traction concern will have to pay s90,o0o more taxes this year than last
 The increase in taxation was de- cided because of an increase in the gross earnings of public service cor poratons, including the New Haven road and the Connecticut Company. as result of rate increases allowed during 1920 by the interstate com merce commission.
 This year street railways will be taxed S632, ,966-63 against S576,9OS.47 in 1920 Of this amount, the Connect icut Company will be assessed S57S,- 104.14, or s90,470.30. The trolley company will pay nearly 90 per cent of the total state tax on street rail. ways.

City Clerk
 May Replace
 John Leonard

Y City Clerk J. Alex Robinson is the probable successor to Chairman John A. Leonard of the Republican Town Committee The post is awaiting MT. Robinson'S acceptance, but as yet he has not been overly desirous of talk ing over the heavy burden of respon- sibiIity and labor that accompanies it. He has been affiliated with Re pubian politics for years and being one of the most active workers, and personally conducted the entire Bridgeport campaign last fall
 There is a definite movement under way to remove Leonard from the town chairmanship- For many months he has been in failing health, and in the opinion of many would not be physically able to undergo the rigors of city campaign in his pres ent condition.
