Iitne,1r Has His License
 Suspended

Nick AntinopoIis, driver of the jit- Mo- 1 at the corner of East Washing ton avenue and Kossuth street on Wednesday, May 25, appeared before Deputy of Motor Vehi- cles John A. Mcdonald, at the court house today, and had his license sus- necticut is concerned.
 Chemical No. l was responding to an alarm, travelling at about 20 miles an hour, when the jitney crossed it's path at the corner. Every effort was made by Driver John T. May, who swerved to the left but could not avoid striking the rear of the bus. Several fremen were hurt, one of them, Hoseman Lloyd Brown who suffered a broken leg and possible in ternaI injuries, still being in the hos pital.
 AntinopoIis, who owns two jitney buses, was represented by counsel. and a strong plea was made in his behalf, he declaring that he heard no siren, bell, or noise from the ap- preaching apparatus. A bad previous record, however, caused the suspen- sion of his license, Deputy Mcdonald reading a warning he gave the jitneur the last time he appeared before him.
 The man was arrested following an accident on May 25, 1921; was con- 1919; again the same year for over crowding and again in 1920 for vio- lating the nuffler ordinance. At least two of the fremen will institute civil suits against the man for injuries sus- tained.3

No Truth In Lay Off Ru1nor
 At Raybestos

Rumors spread by chronic pessi- mists that the STatford plant of the Raybestos company was to lay off 200 employees at the end of the week has been found to be a myth for two very good reasons. The first is that the only layoff will be one effecting but 16 men who will get a few days off over the week end The other reason that the report cannot be true is that as many as 200 men have never been employed at the Stratford plant
 The Stratford branch is equipped with the most modern of machinery, and 1t would be practically impossi- ble to find room for 200 men to work according to a high official of the Raybestos company who was inter viewed this morning.
 Business at the main plant in the West end is better than 40 per cent capacity, with no idea in view of any further cut in production, and officials are satisfied that Bridgeport is turn ing out more brake lining material at the present time than any other city in the United States.
 In Canada, reports from the Ray bestos factory near Toronto, are very encouraging, in fact the Canadian branch is running at capacity and has been for some time past.

we must educate the public to demand safety on the streets through the development of public spirit and opinion Safety must become a com munity problem, and until it is there is little hope of curbing the astound- ing recklessness of motorists that in a single year causes more deaths than all the factories, mines, railroads and street railways in the country.
 Since the Manufacturers Associa- ton has taken hold of the matter in Bridgeport, an organization has been perfected that has few if any equals on the Atlantic Coast They have all ready inaugurated a course of public safety instruction in the curriculum of public schools here, and I would be willing to prophecy that next year the death rate in this city from auto mobile accident will be 50 per cent lower"

Hospital To Cut Length
 Of Course

The Bridgeport Hospital is to in troduce radical changes which will af- feet the student nurses and their training courses. due to the progress made throughout the country in working out the vital question of health conservation the demand for Bridgeport hospital is to take the in in this state are concerned, and is to shorten the course for nursing.
 The plan is not unlike that adopted by the government in the establish ment of officers training camps at Plattsburgh. Where the course for nurses has heretofore extended over a. period of three years, it is now planned to concentrate the course of studies so that the training period will be reduced to about two years and four or six months.
 This plan of more intensive train ing courses will be adopted by the Bridgeport Hospital training school for nurses beginning in September This will mean not only more 1nten- sive studying but better teaching by the best teachers, both in the class rooms and in the wards The work has been so arranged that this will not be difficult to do, and should nurses after finishing their training desire special graduate work, arrange ment swill be made to accommodate them.

 Exposes Untruths
Nails Lies Circulated Prosecutor Says Tier ney Case Not Officially Before Him.

Police Commissioner John c. Stanley today made the follow ing self-explanatory state ment:
 My attention has been call ed to articles in local newspa- pers relative to the shooting of Patrolman Thomas A. Tierney.
 "This department will vel come any investigation of this case, as we are more anxious to find the assailant of this Of ficer than anybody else can possibly be.
 'FI have talked with the Prosecut- ing Attorney and he informs me that the matter has not come to his atten- ton officially, and until it does he cannot take action.
 As to the statement that Cops re- fuse to chip in for Reward there Is absolutely no truth in this staten ent Tor the reason that no one has been asked to chip in.
 There is no truth in the statement that irregularities existed in his ap- pointn1ent. Five reputable citizens have signed their names vouchins for him. One of the five made oath that he knew Tierney intimately for five years previous to his appointrn ent: the other four stand ready to do the same. The names of these gentlemen are.
 "Rev. Patrick J. McGivney. Nelson L. Bradbury, J. w. Conner, Charles H. Roder and E. L. Sullivan. "In another newspaper article 1t was stated that this patrolman's name was 'Turnowski or something like it. I, personally, have seen and read his birth certificate and find this state ment is on par with others that is without any truth in it. Ut seems to me that the newspa- pers that published these statements are unfair to say the least. This poor chap is on what may be his death bed and cannot defend himself The heads of the department cannot question him yet .as such action might 1eop- ardize his life, and until Dr. Banks gives the word, Tierney will not be bothered.
 He is certainly entitled to a square deal. and he is not getting it as far as some newspapers are concerned.
 'fCommissi oner Stanley did not take active charge of the investigation of the shooting at any time. "J. c. STANLEY Preside Board of Police Commissioners

Jersey City, June 29.---Another sktr- mish---possbly two of them---was expected today between the Interna- tional Reform Bureau and Tex Rick ard to determine whether Jack Demp- sey and Georges Carpenter should be allowed to wallop each other here Saturday.
 Three Jersey courts declined yes terday to stop the contest which Rickard calls a boxing bout and the reformers term a prize fight. One vice chancellor told the reformer he couldn't enjoin a crime from taking place and hinted that what the re- formers wanted was an indictment.
 So counsel for the bureau an nounced that they would appear be- fore Prosecutor Ciarvan and ask him to tell the grand jury that Rickard, Dempsey, Carpenter ct al, were plan ming cri1ninally to fracture the state boxing law and that they would be indicted as conspirators.

This in terest did not cease with the death of Lord Randolph Churchill in 1895, and her influence upon the career of her son, Winston Spencer Churchill, now been generally set down as of no small importance.

Hold Out Hope
 For Tiernev

Hope for the recovery of PatroIman Thomas A. Tierney was considerably raised today when it was announced that the wounded policeman is slowly but steadily improving. Soon after an operation had been performed to save the officers life, pneumonia set in. This setback is being overcome, how ever, and it now appears that the in jured man will ultimately recover en- tirely.
 At police headquarters today, it was said that detectives are still working diligently on the case but have been unable as yet to unearth a clue as to the identity of the gunman who shot the policeman. The lack of a good description of the man is proving great handicap to the police.

L Latest Fad
 In Headgear Is Seen On Street

Milady's latest fad is making its appearance in Bridgeport It is a crepe-paper hat, guaranteed to with stand all kinds of weather except rain, hail, snow, fog, wind and torna- does. It is hand made product, and accounts for the report of crepe-pa- per shortages coming from the five and ten cent stores.
 It is undeniably attractive, and is making its appearance in all kinds of color. Solid colors of blue, red, lemon, white and black seem to be the favorites.
 Simple in design, it is just as sim pie in construction. Two bolts of crepe-paper cut into strips ranging frsn one to four inches in width, a pair of scissors and needle and thread comprise the essentials of nIanufac- ture- The strips are braided together. and the braids formed into the shape of headgear.

Stratford Voters Will Pass
 On Council Manager Plan
 At Special Election July II

throughout the campaign during the past winter had no easy task getting the measure through Hartford, giv- ing them a right to hold special election July II. It was several days after the measure had been passed be- fore the governor signed the bill.
 It seems that the opponents to the measure had anticipated an injunc- ton to prevent the special election on the grounds that copies of the pro- posed charter must be printed two weeks before election. The committees had an idea that some such trump was up their opponents sleeves, so they took a chance personally guar anteed the expense to a Capital print CT. and had the required copies print ed, ready and waiting, when the bill was signed. There will be plenty of copies to go around. and plenty of verbal barrage is expected the next 3 days

 No stone will be left unturned in the effort to enHghten every voter in the town on the new plan. It is hoped and expected to gain many friends for this movement among those who have been against a pow erty tax, or a special tax to aid the fire department, because of the de- sire for economy.
