Will Confer Again About
 Wage Cuts

It is expected that a second series Of conferences between the officials or the Connecticut company and the delegates from the II divisions Of the trolley company, will begin before the week is out It seems probable that some middle ground will be chosen between the present scale and the I5 per cent cut the company pro posed to institute. The first meetings having brought no results it IS likely that the represe ntativeS of the con ductors and motormen will be ern- powered at this session to bargain as they believe best.
 Although inspectors. most of whom have risen from the ranks of conduc- tors and motormen, do not belong to the unions their pay usually takes the upper or downward trend in proportion to the men. and they seem entirely satisfied to have it so- Their usual pay, at the present rate, is about $5 week in excess of the men in the rankA

Wants Flag
 T aken From Club Uniform

A movement fostered by the Muni- cipaI Patriotic Committee is under way to abolish the wearing of small American flags on baseball uniforms. The move is directed particularly against the Bridgeport Eastern League club, which for the past two seasons has worn small American flags on the left breast of their shirts.
 Miss Sara Boudren, chairman of the committee, has already communi- cated with Business Manager James Kelly with the appeal that some other emblem be used in place of the flags. MT. Kelly was unable to give her an immediate answer, but replied that tne flags were first used last year as an evidence of the patriotism of the players, and that the practice was in vogue among many of the major league teams.

Br1dSepOrt IlmeS.
 Bridgeport, Connecticut
 Gentlemen:
 Referring to your request for my ideas on the proper use to be made of Plaza, I take occasion to outline some of the things which to me seem to be most important.
 The Plaza as at present used is a disgrace to the city and no one, in my opinion, is satisfied with any part of the present development. The principal items to be considered in connection with the development of the Plaza are these: First; the city should do something with it that will make everybody proud of the result. While it is Q small open space in the city, it is large enough to be a thoroughly noticeable and attractive square.
 The Plaza should eventually be de- veioped to the water front and should be made to serve the city in several ways State street should eventually be continued through under the rail road tracks and along the water front. John street, which has become a thoroughly important thoroughfare, should also continue through and con meet directly to the Stratford avenue bridge by means of a waterfront street and the present development of the Plaza should be made with these future requirements in mind The Stratford avenue bridge~is large enough to carry all the traffic that can ever be brought to it. The en- trance to the city under the railroad viaduct is a disgrace to the city It

Admiral Sims had previously re- fused to give a farewell message to the Daily Mail on the ground that he was under indictment and that it would be inadvisable for him to say anything more on English soil" A despatch from Dublin quoted the Freeman's Journal as saying:
 Admiral Sims now regrets his in- discreet and offensive outburst in London last Tuesday. When he ap- pears before the American Secretary of the Navy he probably will claim he was misrepresented and that an entirely wrong interpretation was placed upon his words
