Paul Althouse
 Heard Yesterday
 In Fine Program

In a program consisting of groupes of delightful Italian, French and Eng fish songs, Paul Aithouse, tenor from the Metropolitan Opera house, ap- peared yesterday afternoon before the Wednesday Afternoon Musical club. in joint concert with Rudolph Bo- cho, the young Polish violinist.
 The selections had been cleverly selected and were varied enough to show the merits of both artists. The feXibiMty of the singers voice was shown in "Chevauchee cosaque," while many powerful crescendoes in the aria Celeste Aida from Yer dis Aida" His intonation in the latter was superb. The. audience was fascinated with his fine rendition soul and feeling made 'The Blind PIougG1man'' by Clarks most appeal ing. The original program closed with Krameu's 'fThe Great Awaken not leave the hall until he responded to their enthusiastic applause, MT. Althouse returned to the stage and sang that favorite aria of tenor so- Rigoletto. When LyeH Barber, the accompanist, played the introduction to the opera number there was a storm of applause.
 Rudolph Rocho. who is just begin ming his second season in concert in America deserves much credit for his wonderful technique and exquisite taste. From his work 1t could cas- fly be seen that he is an artist who plays not only for the benefit of his audience but because he loves his violin. The magnificent Hymn to the Sun.' by Rimsky- Kreisler, was splendidly rendered and was followed by "Variations" by Cor lE-Tartfni- -Kreisler. After these two heavy numbers the lifting, Spin ming Song,' by Popper-Auer was a delightful change. The picturesque 'Dans La Bois' by Paganini-Voe- grtc;h, with "Introduction'' and "Ave Maria concluded his program.
 The program committee of the Wednesday Afternoon Musical club deserves much credit for having se- cured two artists of such splendid ability, for a concert in this city.

CITY READY
 FOR STRIKE

If the railroad strike materializes, Bridgeport will be ready to meet the emergency, according to the joint tra nsporta tion committee of Cham Der of Commerce and the Manufac- turers association which met yester- day iri slle rooms of the Chamber on State street. Louis Glynn, formerly traffic manager of the American Tube and Stamping company, has been placed in charge of the problem of furnishing adequate transportation if the s,rike should take place.
 The plains include assigning volun- teers to work on the railroads in whatever position they are qualified to serve and to systematizing the emergency facilities of the city. It is believed tha- the boats and trolleys in and around the city will be able to carry much greater loads than they do at present. Besides 1t is said that about ten thousand trucks can be pressed into service.
 If the strike becomes a fact head quarters will be established 1mm edi- ately in the rooms of the Chambe where trucking assignments and other necessary arrangem en4s will be made. Probably larger quarters will be ob- tained if the acute situation lasts for any consid erable time so that every thing may be handled through a cen traI office

Dr. Bresnahan Speaks On The Modern Hospital

Dr. John Bresnahan. superintend- ent at the Bridgeport hospital. gave a most interesting lecture yesterday noon at the vocational luncheon at the Business and Professional Women's club. The subject of the address was "The Modern Hospital" |" and the speaker wildly traced the evolution of the hospital since early in the seventeenth century.
 One of the most interesting state ments made by Dr. BreSnahan was that the average amount of time spent by patients in the hospitals now is 2 days. Miss Sarah McKin- nion, president of the Bridgeport Hospital Training School Alumnae association, presided at the lecture.
 At the third lecture which will oc- cur in a few weeks Lynn W. Wilson, editor of The Bridgeport Times, will speak, and Miss Nary McGuinness, editor of the Woman's page of the Bridgeport Post, will preside.

R. R. SCHOOLS
 OPEN TONIGHT

Five schools will be opened tonight by the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad for the instruction of volunteer workers for emergency service. The schools will be started in Danbury~@New Haven, Waterbury, Hartford and New London, Men who have applied for admission to the schools Cor instruction in rai1roading will be assigned to the most accesSi- bIe school The men receiving in struction will serve during the emer gency period when the nationwide railroad strike creates a dearth of regular employees.
 From reports of the railroad off,, cials, there has been no lack of men ready and willing to serve in the re- serve forces during the strike. Pres ent unemployment and the fact that Governor Lake has promised the full est support and( protection by the state have proved big inducements to many.
 Each student-railroader will be paid while under instruction. and when assigned to regular work on the road will be paid the. same rates for merly received by the strikers whose places they will fill.

and rushed to the Emergency Hos
pital. An operation was performed
and the bullet extracted, LaCavera
was removed to his home, where his
