In the beginning the wheat market
showed considerable depression. with

absence of new export business and on
predictions of liberal enlargement

correct anticipations that the increase
expected in the visible supply would
be much smaller than was the case n
week ago. A decided eurtaiment of
tho stock of wheat afloat on the ocean
counted also as a stimulus to the buy

the privilege. In the city of Toxic
there is not a single bath house where

there are many houses where 1000
people use the baths. This means an |

EVERY MOVIE
 HOUSE CLOSED
 IN NEW HAVEN

New Haven, Dec. 9-Mayor David F. Fitzgerald today sent a letter to Chief of Police Philip T. Smith in structing hfm to close every moving picture theatre in the city. The arrangements of each place will be given IS hours grace to comply. Thereafter each place may apply for a, new license to give moving pictures under the city ordinances.
 The mayor expressed the opinion that there is not a moving picture house in the city and possibly not in the state, which actually has com piled with the city and state laws governing the construction and safety requirements.
 Mayor Fitzgerald heard much of the evidence presented at the inquest by Coroner Mix into the Rialto thea tre fire. In his letter to Chief Smith the mayor makes no reference to the theatre fire. He does say, how ever that theatre nanagements ap- plying for new license will have to come under the laws as they are now in force. In this city there was revised building code. and during the fire inquiry evidence was offered, it Is understood. showing that theatres had not compiled fully with the pro- visions of that code. A controversy arose also between Building Inspector Austin and others as to whether the new code was retroactive in it's re- uJIirern ents,

Tell What Ac- tually Caused Subma- rine Sinking Until Craft Is Floated-Two Divers Expected to Go Down to Make Investi- gation and Salvage
 Disabled Boat - Tugs
 Stand by During Night

"The S-4S, sunk from some cause. not yet determined, and not frof ! water that entered the submersibl.' due to hatches not being properly closed.' This was the statement giv, en to the press from the offices of the plant, in this city, today. What the cause was for her sinking we cannot tell until she Is raised. However. we believe that divers and tugs from the Lake yards and the Bridgeport har- bor, will be able to take care of the work"
 It is believed that because of the bow end of the boat prortuding from the water, that the submarine can be or shifting, and that with caution sx- perts can start from the bow end, re- pairing any damage, closing any open valves or hatches, and superintend the gradual pumping and clearing of the boat until she is f1oated. A great deal depends upon the weather, which to- day is cold but clear, with very little conditions are ideal for the rapid raising of the ilI-fated boat.
 Because of the fact that the S-4S has not yet been accepted by the gov ernment it is not deemed probable that a Government investigation will be in order.
 The boat took its fatal plunge. This seems to be substantiated by a con versation overheard by a Times re- Bridgeport Towing office between Simon Lake, P. B. Brill and several other officials and confidential work men employed by the Lake Go. They were discussing the advisability of

 'I was in battery compartment when preparations for a dive were being made" said Began this morn ing. 'The ship suddenly took a trim aft, and everybody wondered what had happened. Nobody said anything, and then the control room and star board lights went out. Everyone was excited, and the crew re-lighted the lights by switching from the forward to the stern battery. This was done by the light of torches.
 Right after this we fired two dunn my torpedoes after attaching mes sageS to them. Each torpedo weighed 2,100 pounds and we thought that this relief of weight might right the boat. Then we carried everything movable from the bow to the stern.
