Colgan Had
 Long Chase

Resounding hoof beats on the pave ment shattered the nocturnal stiffness of Catherine street at i:15-o'c1ock this morning. and for a few minutes caus- ed the startled residents of that neigh borhood to believe that the famous Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow was taking a midnight whirl through Bridgeport. This supposftion was all shot to pieces few minutes later however, when Patrolman Edward ColGan hove in sight, pounding out with his own feet an accompaniment to the chatter made by the flying steed. Assured that Washington Irv- ing's well known spectre would not park himself or his mount in their yards, the awakened sleeperS went back to the business of sleeping with the din of the chase becoming more faint as the faithful beast of burden and his pursuer passed into the dis tance.
 At police headquarters this morn ing Ed told fhe lieutenant in charge that he chased that doggoned horse for over half a mile, and only suc- ceeded in overtaking the animal when it stopped for a rest. The horse has now been returned to it's owner, and Ed is trying to persuade that gentle man to enter the nag against Sngle G, for any part of a million plugged coins.

Househo1ders living in the Floral Park section of Stratford were thrown into consternation today with the an- nouncement of voluntary bankruptcy proceedings, entered yesterday after noon in the United States District developed the new residential section. and with whom most of the 70 fami- lies are under contract
 The tract was developed during the war, and most of the construction work was done at peak prices. Pa pers filed in New Haven gave the fol lowing figures.
 Liabilities $134,515.e6 and assets at s165, 5,897.4S. Among the liability items are taxes due to the city and state amounting to S9,450.6O, and items classified as secured" amount ing to S97,139.06. The outstanding item among the assets is s15S,550.
 It is believed. however. that the First National bank. and the A. w. so great an interest in the matter, together with the persons who have incompleted contracts, and no deeds to the property they are paying for on the inStalment plan, by co-opera- ton and agreement of a trustee in bankruptcy can carry on' so that they ultimately will not lose as long as they keep up their payments as per the original contract.
 Although the assets are given as greater than the liabilities it is not believed by those versed in the real estate business that at the present time, houses built at peak prices, if anything like the value they have evidently been put in on the bank ruptcy papers.

 The Sim Fein statement said that DaiI Eireann had~given full approval to the note which De Valera sent to Lloyd George at the beginning of the week.
 It was obvious that some sort of hitch had occurred in the negotia- tions when Dai1 Eireann assembled. but it was impossible to say how serious it was- There was a tense atmosphere when the Parlimentar ianS met
 Despatches from London received before the Par1imentarians met, int1i- cated that Premier Lloyd George was taking a firm stand upon the condi tion that the Sim F'einers must pledge allegiance to the King, as a basis for the peace barley.

And every one of them died in a way that would have made the mother who bore them wish they had strangled in their cradles, if she could have looked ahead and visioned even dimly the horror that came to them.
 What does it all mean-where is it all going to end?
 This girl who died in San Fran cisco the other day in hideous agony, has never been connected in any way with any scandalous stories of dis graceful parties before.
 She was a quiet well-behaved, mod est girl, they say, intelligent and we'll enough accustomed to the ways of the world to know what wild par ties'' meant.
 How did she happen to go to such an orgy, and after she got there, when she found out the sort of par ty'' it was, why did not she leave the place immediately?
 What was a se1f-reSpecting, proud, high-hearted girl doing at such a place?
 Just exactly what hundreds and perhaps even thousands of other girls are doing, day in and day out, and night in and night out, all over the country.
 The old fashioned rules that pro- tected girdls who had not sense enough to protect themselves have all been broken.

Ten years ago, the girl who would go to a mans room in a hotel, party or no party, would have thrown away her good name the instant the fact of her visit was known.
 Ten years ago. any women who stayed for ten minutes in a room with a crowd of drunken men would have been considered no better and no worse than the men,
 Ten years ago. women of decent reputation did not frequent the com pany of men who were known to be shameless and disgusting brutes.
 Since the war, all this is changed.
 All the fences are down; all the rules are "back numbers" and half the girls we meet in the street and see at the theatre and known in the homes of our best friends are sub- jected day after day to dangers of which their mothers never dreamed.
 All over the world, the situation is nothing less than appalling, and in America, it is worse than any where else.
 Everybody who knows anything about Arbuckle or his kind at all, ought to know what a party" given by him would mean.
 But he is rich; he owns a $25,00o automobile and has goodness knows. how many. servants and va1ets and hangers-on, of every description.
 Besides he's a celebrity the mark

Secretary of Labor Sees Signs
 of Positive Business Recovery

that according to the best estimates that could be made, there are 5,735,- 900 fewer men, women and children, on the payrol1s than there were in March. 1920. There Is difference with a distinction. It Is a very diff ferent matter from saying that there are 5,735,000 men unemployed.
 Now while we have our unem- p1oyed. let US not forget the 12,O0O.- 900 of our people who are still at work. A further encouraging fact is that s5Oo.ooo,cOO is now available about the country, in the form of bonds already issued or appropria- tions already made by State, County and municipal governments, for the purpose of public works roads, etc. Undoubtedly this will now be intelli- gently organized and accelerated
 Secretary Davis said that there also were signs of .sNsitive business recovery.

San Francisco, Sept A - The party given by Fatty Arbuckle at the St Francis hotel at which booze is alleged to have flowed freely, was a dry one-take the word of Fatty himself for that.
 Brought before Prohibition Di- rector E. Forrest Mitchell, to ex- plain the source of the liquor, Arburkle refused to talk.
 He was confronted with two empty bottles found in his room, after the party and was asked as to where they came from. May I smoker" asked Patty after a long silence.
