ACCIDENTS ARE
 GROWING LESS

There were 15 less accidents, one less death and fl less persons in pured an accidents in the city during the month of January this year than in the same month of last year, ac- cording to the report of Captain James Walker issued by Superinten- dent Flanagan today.
 Public service vehicle accidents also dropped from 5S last year to 25 this year, but the decrease in troll ley accidents was not as great, and this is considered due to the fact that the number of one-man cars in service has been increased.
 Bridgeport as a city rates better than the rest of the country in the number of automobiles solen. The month past saw machines taken from Bridgeport and 3 recovered.

WILSON, SOLE
 LAWMAKER

wilson, that's all," was Giuseppe Reale's idea of the law making of this city and the United States when he appeared before Judge John E. keeler to be admitted to citizenship today. Reale who resides at 163 Beach street was asked who made the laws for Bridgeport and replied: "Wilson" and made a like answer to a question as to who made the laws of the country. He will study some more and appear again.
 Joseph T. Horin of 104 Church St., lied to the court about having been arrested and fined s5 some years ago for using abusive language and his application was promptly dismissed.
 One of the principal difficulties ex- perienced today at their opening natur- aliZation session was Tor Russians to tell in what branch of the country they had been born. Apparently the country is as much a mystery today to natives as to other peoples of the world.
