would have to be filled with new and
inexperienced teachers, whose serv-
ices are not in demand in districts
which pay good salaries in order to
get efficient teachers. DO you favor
replacing the present staff of teach
ers with new ones, who are willing
to accept lower wages?
A saving could be made by con-
tinuing to crowd the children into
the third floor OF the Main building,
instead of opening the Franklin
building. The third floor of the
Main building has been condemned
by competent authorities as fire
trap, in which the safety of the chit
dren is constantly imperiled. 1t is
for use for school purposes. But
children can still be crowded into it.
They will not object, because they
have implicit faith that their parents
and teachers will safeguard them
from danger to life and health. Are
you willing to assume the RESPONSE
bility of keeping your children, or
the children of your neighbors, in a
school room which is manifestly UNI
safe on account of the fire hazard?
Do you think it more important to
protect your pocket book than to
protect the lives and welfare Of the
children of the community? D. c.
Dow has declared that he will re-
sign from the school board rather
than assume the responsibility of
using the third floor of the Main
building for school purposes next
year.
The school board has decided to
exclude all grade pupils living out
side the district or to require them
to pay the full cost of their tuition,
but this ruling will affect but 16 pu
pills, and will not relieve the con-
gestion.
The board has been over every
item of the budget and has cut it
$292321 under the estimates for
last year No increase in any salary
has been contemplated or provided
for, but yet a special levy Of seven
mills, added to the other sources of
revenue, will provide but $490.4S
above the estimated expenses. If
any further savings can be made,
they will be applied on paying off
the Indebtedness Of the district.
In view of these conditions, the
real question to be decided at the
election next Tuesday is; Which
can we better afford
To vote for the levy and pay the
tax of seven dollars on each $1,000
of the assessed valuation Of our
property, or vote down the levy, at
the risk of securing cheaper teachers
or of continuing to use school quar-
tiers which are a constant menace to
the lives and welfare of their occu-
pants? What shall it profit a man
if he reduces his taxes and loses his
own child, or what shall a commun-
ity give in exchange for its chill
dren? Can we afford to begin the
reduction of taxes at the expense of
our children?
Certainly no voter can afford to
stay away from the polls next Tues
day afternoon and evade expressing
his or her honest convictions on these
issues.

MEMORIAL DAY, 1921

Standing Guard on the River
Meuse-
Here a squad and there platoon;
There in the mist a lonely lad
Watching beneath the silent moon,
Eyes to the east, but heart at
home
Tell me, ye winds, that nightly
roam:
Who are the boys on the River
Meuse?
Answer the winds: These SILVER
no more
When we carry the snow from an
icy shore;
They dread not steel nor she'll nor
wave,
They are standing each man above
his grave
Michigan, Texas, Virginia Maine,
Golden California-these are your
slain,
Columbias slain on the River Meuse
Are they sighting the enemy bold,
A chafty marksman in yonder void?
Are they awaiting the break of day
To meet the Prussian in bloody fray?
The naughty guards lie stark and
still,
They've made their bed on marsh
and hill,
They fight no more on the River
Meuse
Columbia fallen, spirits free,
Past lifes rancor and bitter hates,
See the dread enemy in you and
That batters against Americas
gates!
There is a Prussian in us all
Since the day of our father Adams
fall:
They are watching him on the
River Meuse.
They are watching the boy who
heeds no law,
The maiden slipping the poison bowl,
The Stacker sneaking through the
dark,
The soul-blind, money-grubbing
mole,
The worker who sows not and
wants to reap,
The rich man stealing the poor mans
sheep:
They're watching them on the
River Meuse.
Pale figures fade as the morning
breaks,
Faint voices are waited across the
deep:
"Buddies, we're weary and crum-
bling away;
Who'll mount the guard so the dead
may sleep?
Who'll grip the rifle and beat the
drum?'
March, Legion, march, thine hour
has GOMEZ
Bring peace to the boys on the
River Meuse!

INSURE WITH McCLAsKEY.

ONE-MAN CARS HERE TO STAY,
 POTTER SAYS
Connecticut Go. Convert Old Models Into New
 Trolley Type

Reports that the Birney type of one-man cars are to be discontinued as means of transportation in today were emphatically denied today by Manager J. E. Potter of the Connecticut company The construction program of the com pany, which reuires the manufacture of a large number of the Birney cars is now under way and the addition of several hundred new one-man cars throughout the state effectively routs the rumor that the use of the new vehicles will be discontinued.
 The possibility of the entire use of one-man cars in Bridgeport is being considered by Manager Potter, whose action will be largely governed by the success of the present tests of the use of double truck cars as one-man vehicles in Meriden.
 The utilization of the several hundred double-truck cars, which before the advent of the Birney type were exclusively used in trolley ser vice, to comply with the one-man syS- tenn of operation has been considered on several occasions. and the outcome of the Meriden tests will determine to a large extent the new use of thR larger cars throughout the state.
 The heavier cars will be converted into one-man cars provided the pres ent tests prove successful. Extensive remod cling will be necessary, includ- ing the reconstruction of the vesti- bules of the trolleys and the addition of newly perfected safety appliance devices

MEN TO
 BUCK STATE AID
 FOR TROLLEY co.

In spite of the strongest kind of lobbying for the Connecticut com pany, the Bridgeport delegation at Hartford will not be solidly behind any move to have the state help finance the trolley company.
 At the present time the delegation has given some consid deration to the matter and there is known to be a division of sentiment with little hope of reconciling some members to the plan.S
 One Bridgeport man who is a member of the General Assembly said this morning that regardless of who was for any help for the rail- roads, whether street or otherwise, he would oppose the movement. He admitted that the transportation sit ua ation in the city of Bridgeport was a. matter of serious concern and thai in order to keep trolleys on a sched- ule for q place of it's size it might be necessary to bring ffiitneys into fairel comp etitior. This ma.mber, however is unQuaEfiedly against any state help for trolleys other than wha might be incidental to the jitney reg ulation,

Bandits Get
 $13,000 In
 Pistol Duel
Three Detroit Detectives Shot Down As G71nmen
 Flee In Auto

Detroit-Three armed bandits to- day entered the brokerage firm of William R. Morton. intimidated the employees and after gun duel with three detectives, who were summon ed by a burglar alarm, escaped with $13,000 in bonds. The detectives were severely wounded.
 Unseen by the gunmen, a clerk pressed a burglar alarm button and the detectives arrived before the high waymen had completed their daring robbery. When the officers com manded the gunmen to surrender, the latter opened fire and the three de- tectives fell. They are ill a serious condition at a, hospital.
 The shooting took place in the center of Detroits business section. Hundreds of early shoppers and of flee workers were within sight of the offices which are on the ground floor when the robbery took place and observed the flight of the bandits.
 Twenty-Five autom mobiles, contain ing 200 policemen,< armed with riot guns were rushed in pursuit of the robbers. The license number of the robbers machine was noted ano warning was sent to all nearby towns.

Coal Will
 Soar Again
 Dealers Say
Fifty Cent Raise In Freight Rates to Jack Up Prices
 Here

Bridgeport consumers today are facing another advance in coal prices per ton in freight rates is proposed by tn erailroads which, if put into ef- feet. will undoubtedly result in a proportonate increase in the retaiil price to local consumers.
 Notice of the proposed action of the coal and coke committee of the railroad trunk lines in conjunction with New England carriers, was re- ceived in Bridgeport today The ad- justment will affect freight rates on both anthracite and bituminous coal fom the points of origin. or mines in Pennsylvania, Maryland. West Vir- ginia and Ohio to places of receipt on the New aven railroad line. and elsewhere in New England.
 The transportation rates per ton on anthracite coal from the mines to Bridgeport at present is s4-o2, but under the proposed readjustment will be increased to s4.5S. The rail freight charge of s4.o6 per ton on bitu1ninous coal will be advanced to s4-4S. The same rates will be slapped on ship ments to New Haven. and in propor- ton to other Connecticut towns and cities. Freight rates on anthracite 10 Danbury will be increased from s4-02 O S4-16, but the bituminous shipments will be decreased from s4.62 to S4-16. Norwalk and Stamford dealers will
 pay rates of S4.16 in place of S4.o2 on
 anthraicite. and s4.l6 in place Of
 s4.06 on bituminous, if plans Of the committee are effected.
 The committee reasons that the re- adjustment is needed to eliminate many of the fourth section violations which now exist by restoring prese nj , freight rates to competitive points to a normal basis, to remove diScrini- nations and to place the rates gen. orally on a more equitable basis. It is probable that a protest against the readjustment will be registered in Bridgeport The Ch1E- her of Commerce is regarded as the
 most likely body 10 voice the pro- testt, and local representatives may be named to attend a public hearing
 of the committee in New. York on Thursday O consider and decide upon
 the proposed change.

Garlick To Fight
 For Housing Bill
 Before Assembly

Housing conditions throughout the state and the Bridgeport school sit uation will come in for considerable of the attention of Senator Earl F. Garlick during his term at Hartford
 T do not intend to interest myself in these matters as hobbies but as absolute necessary matters to every body'S welfare The Challenger bill on hoIrsing conditions is simply skeleton and comment cannot be made upon it at this time because the pro vis1ons have not been drafted But I will do my utmost to sec that a law which means something and guarantees rent payers something is enacted"
 This was Senator Ciarlick's state ment on housing and he continued:
 '-The Bridgeport school situation is a matter of vital importance and one that must be thoroughly gone into and carefully handled-'

 This new ruling. coming simul- taneously with an order closing all bonded warehouses in Connecticut. Massachusetts. Maryland. Pennsyi- vania. New Jersey.
