Choate Warns Against utting Our Industries
 At Germans Mercy

''If we leave the Germans with a world monopoly such as they had before the war, so that we have to buy our dyes off Germany, all our in dustries are at the mercy of the German dye industry, which is one with the German governm ent.''
 This statement was made by Jo- seph H. Choate. Jr., son of the late ambassador to Great Britain, to the members of the Chamber of Com merce at the usual weekly luncheon in The Stratfield this noon. MT. Choate spoke on the topic Shall America Remain the Only Important Country at the Mercy of the German Chemists 2"
 He spoke in part as follows:
 It is a most amazing fact that an in- dustry which busies itself entirely with the treatment of surfaces, should be of all industries that which goes straightest to the heart of the matter. It is the literal truth that this industry is the most important single industry in the United States of America. I don't say this as a form of exaggeration such as that which you hear from your friends who make French heels and artificial flowers, who tell you that on their industries depend all the law and prophets. It is a fact.
 It is the most complicated commer- cia1ly because it deals with the great est number of products. We used to import before the war over nine hun

Made Threat To Sue Cop
 For Arrest

Arthur Meeker, for many years paymaster at the Bridgeport Brass company and later connected with the West end plant of the Columbia Gra- phophone company, and the U. M c. company who formerly resided at 107S Fairfield aenue, and now resides in the Paradise Green section of Stratford, was let down easy in City Court this morning, when Judge Boardman noIled charge of speed ing upon payment of S10. Meeker rendered a check for the amount, which is not acceptable at City Court so he was compelled to go outside and get it cashed.
 Officer T. J. Reilly made the arrest Monday night, overtaking the Meek CT car on Connecticut avenue after it had passed several machines. The officers speedometer on the motor cycle showed A miles per hour. before he overlook the machine. At the precinct station Meeker is said to have caled the officer g. liar and threatened to get his job.
 This Meeker denied this morning. but he stated that he would sue the officer for false arrest. It was brought out at the hearing that sev- eral years ago he threatened Officer B. Higgins in much the same manner following a. similar arrest of his son. Reginald of New Haven
 MT. Meeker spoke out of his turn several times today, but the Judge said he would not suspend his license at present. His wife and an aged aunt appeared in court as witnesses. Meeker took the stand last but before he had finished talking the Judge told him he had already talked too much.

dred different dyes. Before the war; one German house made eleven thous- and. different colors. In making them, more than one by-product was produced for each color, and some means had to be found of dispoSing of all these innumerable by-products.
 The result of that was to give em- p1oyment to a body of research chemists such as the world has nev- CT known before.
 Besides being difficult from the point of view of having an enormous number of substances to manufacture, the dye-makers have an enormous number of needs to meet and fill. We think of dyes as being fast or fugi- tive, and nothing else. As a matter of fact dyes have to be fast to a variety of different conditions. It is useless to make 8, curtain fast to soap and water when it never goes into soap and water. Bathing suits need to be fast to salt water, but shirts do not have to be fast to salt water. Shirts have to be fast not only to soap, but also to chloride of lime, which is used in the modern laundry without remorse.
 The demand for all these varieties of fastness-and there are seventeen of them, most of the rest depending upon processes of manufacture in the textile wor1d-has to be met in connection with every kind of textile that the textile men can devise.

 Bond Issue
 Not Enough R
George Warren Asserts Fund Cannot Last More Than Six Months.

''The $3O0,00O issue of char ity emergency bonds will not be sufficient to care for the needy families of Bridgeport until a new appropriation is made next February. By the use of the strictest economical measures, the bond issue can not last for more than six months at the outside, and dur ing the remaining three months before additional funds can be secured no aid will be avail able to the destitute and needy" "
 This is the opinion of George War ren, secretary of the legislature com mission appointed to supervise the distribution of the bond issue, who said today:
 Department is caring for 300 families, and private outside agencies are car ing Tor 500 more, making a total of 1900 families. The Charities De- and distributes aid in other forms to the remaining 400, spending in all about S5O,000 a month
 At the rate of S5O,000 month, which represents a minimum of economy, the s300.00O bond issue can last for only six months. The city will have to go through the last three months before new appro- pr1at1on can be available without Funds to care for the needy and un- employed.
 This year, they were given only s22,0O0 for the entire year. and that was spent in the month of April. In addition, $I7, 800 has been secured bv special appropriations from the con ungency fund, and the departm ent has a deficit of S75,0oo.
 The commission will spend the money through the Charities and Public Works Departments We have authorized Superintendent Thorne to continue his relief program for an other week, and to keep on with the same work he has been doing for months past

 Before Harrison can be appointed, 1t will be necessary to remove Mrs Mott, now serving a life term in Wethersfe1d, as natural guardian of the children Steps have already been taken towards this end, and formal notice has been served upon Mrs. Mott at Wethersfeld of the pending action and hearing.

 The children, George Edwin. aged II, and Ruth Ida-s aged 13, have been residing with Mrs. Nei1s BierhoIrn, of Stratford avenue, a close friend of Mrs. Nott's since their mother was sentenced to life imprisonment
