 The children at the Henlocks were entertained yesterday afternoon by
 two of the story tellers who come from Bridgeport Miss Catherine Gull linan and Miss Ethel Hummer were the two who told stories yesterday. Each Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Pryor sends two girls from the Bridgeport High school who entertain the "kid- dies" Mrs. McNeiI who has charge of the Henllocks wishes to thank all these girls who are so willing to give their efforts and time for the chill dren.
 Many people of the town today are talking about the affair which took place on the green in the center Fourth of July. It has just come to light that the people who were ar ranging the entertainment for the Fourth had American Flags for dec orations. Some lodge composed or women put up an English flag along side of the speakers stand. The men of the American Legion who were to march at once refused to do so. This part of the program was dispensed with, however, and it was not long before the 'tbuddies'' had the Engllsh
 flag slowed away in some very remote part of Fairfield. Except for this slight error on the part of the women the program arranged for the day was exceptionally good.

MORAL UPLIFT
 FORCES ACTIVE

 The information in the hands of those who favor law enforcement is said to also show that the men who were formerly engaged in conducting houses of prostitution are now the owners of high-powered cars and that they are engaged in making frequent trips across the New York and Mas sachusetts borders for the purpose of securing stocks of illicit hooch the same as runners from the other states come into Connecticut for SUD- plies.
 The women of the w. T. U. who have given their support to the Anti Saloon League in it's fights to close the next elections and they are said to be strongly in favor of calling upon the local authorities to enforce the Federal law. One of the ladies is quoted as saying, We are a part of America and why should we expect folks from another part of America to come to us to enforce American laws"
 It is well known that Mayor Wilson is very favorable to the women voters of the city, and that Mrs. C. Willard F1eck, the local leader of the Repub- lican women who is a very keen poli- opportunity to bring the support of Anti-Saloon women under the Wilson banner and into the Wilson camp.
 To Mrs. Fleck is said to be due IhC 1hOSI OA tie SISotI 1OT the CnanS6 in the city court, the change that spelled defeat for Senator Delaney at the very moment that he was be- lieved to be at the height of his power.
 Those interested in closing the sa- loon say that they realized that the mayor and the police force can do lit tie when the prosecuting attorney is not in accord with them, and they do not say that Senator Delaney as prosecutor failed to prosecute when cases were brought to his attention, but they are of the opinion that both the police and the prosecutor should tbe more militant.
 They say that if any average house wife can walk through the streets and see men staggering out of saloons that the authorities ought to be able to see the same thing and they look for the new judge to hand out jail sentences when necessary and for the mayor to get his police force to working. They say that the mayor cannot now say that Delaney will throw out the cages as he did the ac- cused in the Burns raid.
 The ladies are well pleased with the finding of Judge Boardman in his first liquor case.

Deny Mutiny
 On Pocahontas

New York, July 7.---Oficials of the United States Steamship Company to- day denied reports from Naples that mutiny had occurred in the steam ship Pocahontas during her voyage from New York to that port.
 The denial was based. an official said, on wireless reports from the captain which did not mention any form of mutiny. Prior to reaching the Azores the captain reported to the officers here that two men in the en- zine room force were giving trouble. |,
 On arrival of the ship at St. Mi chaels, these men, on order of the American consul, were arrested and confined aboard the vessel. It was also said that the captain had re- ported engine trouble, but nothing came from him as to mutiny, att tempts to sink the ship or receiving and from passengers in repairing ma chlnery-
 The Pocahontas, owned by the Shipping Board, is operated by the United States Mail Line. She left here with 430 passengers.

 As the fight ragged in the Senate to- day over the McCumber bill for lad justed compensation for ex-service men Democratic senators twitted the of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon in his letter to Senator F'relinghuysen, Rep., N. J., that Congress had better direct it's attention to aiding immed- lately dependent and disabled rather than physically fit ex-service men and ex-sai1ors.
 The bills supporters cited former Secretary of the Treasury Houston's avowed opposition to it toward the close of the Wilson administration to show that there is nothing new in Secretary MeIlon's declaration that it could only be financed by adding to the burden of debt and taxes, under which the country is staggering They declared Mellons position and that of his Democratic predecessor to be identical.
 The movement for a cash bonus was under full swing today in the House.
 It WIS revived by a petition signed by 22 former service men, now mem bers of the House, addressed to Chair man Fordney and the House Ways and Means committee, urging that the committee report out the bonus bill at the earliest practical date.
 Ardor of these advocates of the bonus was famed to a white heat by the letter to Congress from Secretary of the Treasury Mellon opposing the legislation. Chairman Fordney an nounces he is in favor of the legisla- ton but he does not have the backing of his committee.
