 Christianson this, morning claimed that he was not the owner of the place, that he sold it Friday. He ex- h1bited a conditional bill of sale to prove his contention, the bill dated Feb. 24. This was the day that the saloon was raided and Prosecuting Attorney Keating in summing up the case stated that he. believed that bill Of sale was nothing more or less than fake and that the sale of the saloon was direct attempt to evade the law so that Christianson would not have to stand charges as third offender. The penalty for a third offender is very severe and Christianson is one Of the few third offenders that have faced the local court.
 Victor Erickson who is employed as a bartender at the saloon was found guilty of keeping liquor with intent to sell and was fined $200 and sentenced to ten days in jail. He appealed the case and bonds were fixed at S400.

 In closing, Mayor Atwater urged the bringing of small concerns to Bridgeport, and said that he would rather see 500 small concerns come and grow than have one big concern come already grown.

NOrwalk Law Student
 Is ExOnerated Of
 Bootlegging Charge

Joseph Lonchak, 1e, Norwaik law student and formerly a prominent athie1e at Georgetown University, was eXonerated of all connection with an alleged bootleg transaction that was DeneVed to have taken place in Stam ford, late in January
 Martin Contore, 132 State street, Stamford, and Nichols DiSessa, 19 First street also of the Lock City, to- gether with the Norwalk suspect, in v1lVed in an alleged confession by Cantore, were arraigned before Unit ed States Commissioner Hugh J. Lav- cry yesterday. Cantore repudiated his confession. and other lack of evidence convinced the commissioner that Lon chalk had no connection with the transaction. He was dismissed.
 Because of lack of convincing evil dence of just what barrels transported on truck by the other two men con- tained, the cases against them were also dropped. Attorney Jacob Klein appeared for Lonchak. The arrests were made by members of the local force of Prohibition Enforcement agents.

small plants were brought here and that if they employed 100 men each, 10000 men would be given work and that they would be better employed than on the average. He pointed out the work of the late Fred Enos who acted as reception committee and giving them all the good points and answering all questions. He urged that this work be duplicated. He asked all to work. when called upon and to put their money and knowl- edge in the effort, to put their shoulder to the wheel and if this was done it would be a turning point in the his tory of Bridgeport and will surely lead to good results.

 John. E. Phelan, advertising man. ager of The Star, said that it should be everybodys job to sell Bridgeport. He deplored the readiness of the citi- zens to knock the city. MT. Phelan said S5O,0OO would be needed to start 1000 men would contribute $50 a piece to the fund, Bridgeport would be kept on the map.
 James L. McGovern, Collector of Customs, was the final speaker. He said that -Bridgeport's future was secured and that there was no doubt about it's prosperity.

 Collector McGovern in urging every one to do his but to help the cam paign," everything depends on the in dividual and the plan must have the pocketbook." He said that 1S0 sub stantial, growing industries have writ ten to Bridgeport for information about what we have to offer. MT. Me Govern said that the public utilities of the city must join in substantial contributions to the campaign because they will directly benefit by the com ing of new factories to Bridgeport The newspapers, he said, will give the campaign all the space they possibly can without a nickel compensation. He declared that the movement was a live one and that the idle factory space would be occupied within a year. In appealing to those who could afford to give generously and to the citizens for help he said: What we need is an honest-to God comradeship for bigger, better, buster Bridge port.'
 The committee which intends to parallel the activities of the late Fred Enos in putting Bridgeport on the map consists of Benjamin F. Morri- son, chairman; George E. Crawford, head of the Crawford Laundry com pany; Harry B. Curtiss, Bridgeport Hardware Mfg. company; T. J. Pardy, head of the T. J. Pardy company, and George Troxe1 of the American Hard ware company.

 ftism, in the opinion of the man in the street.
 The counciI-manager plan a failure, with no marked desire except in a few quarters, where the return to the
 old plan would be Q direct benefit, to return to the old plan, there seems no alternative to try a city plan, or annex to Bridgeport according to popular opinion here.
 The appointment of W. w. Leck. in 1tseilf would probably not prove un- popular. Leck is a man with known qualities as an executive. He seems to have the necessary personality and pep, and people who know Leck de- clare he is not a man who will be dominated by anybody. He is of the type that will go ahead at high speed, and any councilman who tries to heckle him will be in for a hot old time, declare many Stratford people. At the American Tube Co.,, Leck is the superintendent at the same di- Councilman Turney is employed. Should Turney resign, as many of his district desire, Leck would no doubt be given a better reception. --.-
