Protests Are Pouring lnOn
 ariff Bill

Washington, July 23-The demands of sectional and special interests TOT changes in the Fordney-tariff bill as it passed the House are pouring upon the Senate finance committee today Tn a. yeritable flood. Spokesmen for these interests are arriving in antlci- patton of the public hearings on the bill. which the committee will begin on Monday.
 There are indications that the tar fir fight will be waged all over again when the bill is reached in the Sen ate. The House leaders were able to choke off debate and amendments by invoking a special rule. The sen ate does not possess such rule. Clo- ture is the only "gag rule" the Senate possesses.
 A two-thirds vote is necessary to enforce it House leaders can clap on a special ruling with a majority vote. .
 Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of Ari- zona- has already started the ball roll ing in the Senate by demandlng pro, lection for long staple cotton growa in his .tate and in California, which the House place on the free list.

Find Markers Of Local Cars
 In Ash Can

John Su1sono, of 426 West 18th street, New York city, who formerly conducted garage near East Main and Howe streets, was arrested last night in New York, and is now being held by the Metropolitan police on a. charge of receiving stolen goods It is alleged that SulSono is one of the leading members of a gang which has stolen 200 automobiles and ship ped them abroad. during the past year.
 Three monti~ ago, when Sulsono was still in Bridgeport, the local po- lice got wind of his alleged illegal &C., tivities, and endeavored to place him under arrest When detectives arriv- ed at his home, however, they found that he had departed for parts un- known. His brother, Louis Sulsono was taken into custody. but this man proved that he had nothing to do with the auto stealing organization.
 A large number of automobile reg fstration plates were found in an ash can in Sulsono's house, this fact lead ing the police to believe that the garage was maintained as a hiding place for stolen automobiles before they were shipped out of the country. Sulsono was implicated in the af- fair by three other men who were captured in a New York garage last night, after a thrilling battle with two detectives. He admits that he shipped his original home is located, but de-
 nies that any of the machines were
 stolen.
 It was said today, that Sulsono and his gang were responsible for the theft of cars owned by John Cornell and A. H. Trotter, of this city, an automo-
 bile truck owned by a local concern
 and a number of other Bridgeport
 cars The license plate of the Cornell
 and Trotter cars were among those [ -I~ home
 Incarnation regarding the where | abouts of SulSono was given to the l Federal authorities by the local police 1 department some time ago, but the government officials took no action in | the matter.

Zalinger Branched Out
 Too Rapidly

What has developed into one of the largest failures in Bridgeport for some time is that of Benjamin Zal- finger, doing a grocery and bakery business at 172-17S Wood avenue. Because of the unusual proportion of the assets and liabilities, the latter being more than four times greater than the former, the failure has at tracted more than usual interest.
 Occupying an entire block, holding a lease that is believed to be valua- b1,e and doing a business supposedly satisfactory, and continually expend- ing, the petition in bankruptcy filed several days ago was a surprise.
 Close on the heels of the bankrupt action came a suit brought by Joseph Levine, asking foreclosure on resi- dentiaI property located on Sherwood avenue, to satisfy an unpaid promis- sory note. William Landsman ap- peared as a co-defendant on papers filed in the suit, due to the fact that he has advanced money to Zallinger, some unsecured, and some secured by the Sherwood avenue property.
 It is believed that the various inn provements carried on in the estab- lishment have been too costly at this time, and that the bankrupt has been forced to borrow continually to meet other debts as they came due, and

Flynn, wife of Lieu tenant Flynn Of =he police depart ment to satisfy a claim of S5,S00 against the estate of her father, the late John Ha1verson, was heard this morning at the County court house.
 Mrs. Flynn asks that amount as con1pensation for the care of her fa- ther, a well known sea captain, who was said to have led an indecent and immoral life, and to have been a confirmed drunkard for some years, during which time Mrs. Flynn often had to make the rounds of East Side resorts to find her father, and take him home.
 An estate valued at something over SeO0O was left when the father died at the age of 79, and she was cut off in the will, the estate going to an- other sister and brother
 She claims to have given up a posi- ton to care for her father when other n,embers of the family would not take the responsibility. and that she was led to believe that she would get at least an euual share in her father S estate Closing arguments followed the testimony this morning, and the matter was taken under adviSement bv the committee. Some of the tes- tinnonv Droduced to show the un- pEeeeant ask Mrs Flynn was alleged to hayeJ had for 12 years was of such a nature that the committee several times interrupted witnesses.

 Tho St. Lazare station, at which the French boxer landed, was crowded with his admirers and Carpenter pal pably surprised by the enthusiasm of his reception and affected almost to tears, he was captured by the surging crowd and borne against his will through the side door of the station and along the Rue Londres.
 That part of the crowd which had gained possession of Carpenter and with shouts of Garry him in tri- umph," had borne him to the street, swept aside the police line and rush. ed along the thoroughfares. Several doors and windows in the neiShbor- hood were crushed in by the pressure of the throng, which choked the streets from building to building
