Farley Hears Brother And
 Family Safe

Assurances of the safety of John Farley and family, residents of the flood devastated city of Pueblo. Colo, and we'll known in Bridgeport, were received this morning by George P. Farley, a brother. of 16o Lewis street Fears for the safety of the Farley family had been entertained by their local relatives since the first reports of the terrible sufferings and hard ships that followed in the wake of the torrential floods came from the terror stricken city.
 In response to a telegram sent Sun day morning, MT. Farley received a reply early today from his nephew, John B. Farley, briefly stating "AIl safe. We were on Hill House Top"
 Hill House Top is a mountain peak a few miles outside of Pueblo, in the foothills of the Pueblo Mountains. It is believed that the family fled the city with the thousands of other refu- gees at the first sign of the rising waters and sought shelter and safety on the neighboring peak.
 MT. Farley, ST., is well known in Bridgeport, and up to fifteen years ago was chief of police in Pueblo. Of late, he has been engaged as superintendent of the Colorado Steel and Fuel Company, one of the many Rockefeller mining interests.

Police
 Against Four
 Lace Thieves

Four thieves who robbed the Nor gan Memorial in Hartford, of a large number of rare faces, ennbroid- cry, silk brocade and numerous Chi neSe and Japanese ornaments will have small chance to dispose of any of their valuable loot in Bridgeport The local police have been notified to keep a strict lookout for the appear ance of any of the stuff in this city, and all places where stolen material of this description might be sold are being closely guarded. No trace of the missing valuables has been dis covered here as yet, it was said at police headquarters today
 The Hartford police have got a definite description of one of the men, described as a Swarthy foreigner Newly purchased tools and rope, used by the robbers in their daring escap- ade were found in the tapestry room of the memorial and are now in the possession of the police. Burned ci- garette stubs were also discovered on the floor. With these bits of evid- Hartford authorities have sent out a nationwide call for help in appre- hending the burglars.
 It is the opinion Of the police that one of the gang secreted himself in the building before it was closed for the day, and later opened a window for the admittance of his confeder- ates. Officials of the memorial have not announced the value of the miss ing articles

Committee went to Hartford for that $500, 900 issue, told them that if they would name their Improvements and name the streets to be worked upon, and name the committee to dis pense the money through the Chari- ties Department. I would lend my ef- forts towards obtaining the issue.
 "In answer they told me they did not know where the improvements were to be made except on some streets on the outskirts of the city.
 ''Why, the Connecticut Legislature would assuredly be wrong to grant such an issue with the finances of Bridgeport in the condition they are. With the several bond issues and the notes with banks, the city would far exceed it's five per cent limitations.
 Our finances here are in a decid- edly bad state, and the true state is not really known I know that some S200,000 in bills that we owed were never provided by appropriations when the Board of Apportionment met in February, and this was also admit ted by Auditor keating before the Fi- nance Committee.
 ''The Board of Apportionment also failed to raise the S500,000 that we need to meet several bonds due this year, and we will have to borrow from banks to do it.
 And in November we will have to borrow again when it comes time to pay our s250,000 state tax
 
 900 Grand Street Bridge bonds to be met.
 These are only a few. could emu merate several others. There are on- ly a few, plus the long list of bills that were not filed with the Board of come to my attention, that several bills from a. certain faction were pur- poSely kept away from the Board of Apportionment until after their last
 
 have to be appropriated for them, and by doing so the tax would be kept down to it's present figure
 Tt will be interesting to some peo- pie to know that when Mayor Will son went to Hartford in the interests Of that s300,OOO short term issue, he did not ask for that but wanted s5O0,0 for street improve ments, in order that he could make an allowance for the unemployment situation.
 ''It was told to me later than when he was questioned by the finance com committee was not convinced that the city should be allowed such an is sue
 In addition, while he was before the Finance Committee he never said one word about school bonds Instead he wanted s23G,00O for the Grand Street Bridge, $375,O 900 for the East Wash ington Bridge, S500,000 for street improvements, and the Broad street extension figured in somehow.
 Not one word did he say about school house bonds when our school situation is in a bad way, and when the entire city was literally crying for school bonds.
 t'It remained for Senator Cha11en- ger and myself to see to 1t that a pc tition went in for some $2.4o0,0Oo school bonds.
 ..As is very well known now, the financial situation of this city is such that it will be a long, long time before school bonds, or any other kind of bonds, can ever be issued Before the city will have a prospect of securing smother issue, they will have to clear up most of the indebtedness and that will take some time."

KELLER DENIES
 N0N-SUIT MOVE

Judge John E. Keeler at noon today denied a motion for non-suit, brought by Attorney s. w. Baldwin for the Connecticut company, in the damage suit case of Rosalie Cohen of New York, against the trolley company.
 An accident at the corner of State and Lafayette streets on Jan. 31, 1920, at which time the plaintiff was struck by a trolley going in an oppo- site direction, from another car from which she had aIighted, is the basis of the action which is for damages of $3,00o, because of alleged injuries.
 The motion for non-suit was brought on the usual grounds of con tributory negligence, based on the fact that the plaintiff admitted seeing the car coming when a distance of 240 feet away, and yet persisted on walking into a zone of peril.
 Attorney Theodore Steiber for the plaintiff, called attention to certain passages Of the law in which the rights of a pedestrian at a street in tersection are shown When Judge Keeler denied the motion the jury was recalled and the case proceeded.
 Several of the jury panel were ex- cused from hearing the case because of former transactions with the Con necticut company, among them being G. R. HertnaL florist, 9S9 Broad street

Mayor Wilson in presenting his an nual message to the Board of Alder men last night devoted considerable space to criticisms of DeLaney's opposition to the S3O0,O0O emergency bond issue. The Mayor charged that while Delaney had vigorously oppos- ed all bond issues, his voice was never heard in opposition to the in crease of his own salary as prosecu- tor of the city court.
 In his message the Mayor said:
 f'Senator Alexander L. Delaney of the 22nd senatorial district of this city, is chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the legislature. and as such, the leader of the whole Iegis- 1ature. I am informed that he has stated that the S30O,00O short term notes, which were approved by your honorable body, will never be report ed by the committee on account of his opposition. He has consistently opposed any measure which you gen tlemen have approved for the better ment of our city and for the relief of distreSsful conditions, owing to in- dustrial depression, but his voice has not been heard against the increase in the salary of the prosecuting at torney of our local court, which office he now holds, and to which I am credibly informed, he desires a reap pointment from the judge about to be appointed
 In answer Senator Delaney in formed a Times reporter this morn ing:
 ''I have been expecting that all along.
 ''The Mayors whole attitude to- wards me is easily explained in the thwarting of his projects in the Legis- 1ature. In other years all he had to do was go to Hartford, ask for a bond issue and he would get it. But he found it different this year.
 r0 wi to get his issue of $1,25O,0oO refund ing bonds, he informed the members of the Finance Committee that he sincerely hoped he would not have to apply to them again.
 And when he re-appeared this ses- sion with several new requests for bonds, his old remarks were well re- membered. He was given so much in the 1915-17-19 legislatures, that mem bers of the Finance Committee this year absolutely refused to become part and parcel of the movement to bankrupt the city of Bridgeport.
 ''As far as the salary increases in the city court are concerned, I had absolutely nothing to do with it. The bill was introduced and backed by Senator Challenger without the slight est knowledge on my part. and when it came up for a hearing I was not present. Neither was I present when it was discussed in the Senate or the House.
 Persons close in touch with the workings of the city court realize that the increase was deserved. No one unless well acquainted with that body can realize the great amount of work it entails.
 And, in addition, other cities throughout Connecticut have always paid their prosecutors more than Bridgeport. For the past several years, New Haven, Waterbury and New Britain have paid more than Bridgeport. And in New Haven, the prosecutor was allowed two or three assistants and the salaries of the as sistants was larger than the prosecu- tors here-

MAY APPEAL CASES OF U7NEURS 70 GET
 DEFINITE DECISION

The first legal battle to materialize from the police crusade against vio- lators of the automobile laws, took place in the City court this morning when Judge John B. Dillon. of Shel- ton, appeared as counsel for Henry Curran, of 2s4 Lenox avenue, Tony Luciano, of Westport and Horatius Rice, of 50 Newfield avenue, all jit- neymen, who were arrested yesterday for failing to keep to their scheduled routes.
 Judge Dillon contended that the City ordinance regarding the matter in question is not explicit enough in stating whether jitneymen may oper- ate off their appointed lines without
