 FEWER RIDE

When Max Fredrick took his friends MT. and Mrs. James We1ch, all of this city, out for a spin through Reardsley Park last May in his fivver he did not expect to be rewarded with two damage suits.

She claims that on the way home from Beardsley Park, Fredrick drove in such a careless and negligent manner that he crash ed into a car parked near the curb at Ashley street and Noble avenue Mrs Welch went through the roof of the car, which was overturned.

According to the regulations of the election 100000 votes must be cast before a delegate can be declared elected. The Bridgeport total is BE- 696, Or 67.304 less than the number of votes required before delegate can be officially accredited by the American Committee.
 The Times today through negotia- ttons with the Executive Committee Of the American Committee in New York is advised that the American Committee will undertake to provide 6O,0OO votes representing, a, cash sub remaining 17.304 votes, representing cash subscriptions of $1,730.4O. to bring the Bridgeport total to $5,OOO which has been offered by the Amer ican Committee.
 Mrs. Richard Howell who has spons- ored the candidacy of Miss Rogan, stated today:
 T am ready to begin immediately to raise the amount necessary to bring the total number of Bridgeport votes. up to 50,0 900 or a,-tota1 of $5,- 900. The American Committee has met us on a most generous, fair and square basis and certainly no Bridge~ port person will want the city to be represented in this international dele. gation unless we are prepared to pro- vide at least the same number of votes that the American Committee will prc<ide for us.
 Within fifteen minutes after the action of the American Committee became known the Bridgeport Times which has already supported the e1ec- tion so Loyalty offered a subscription of $250 and this was followed inn mediately by a $100 subscription from the Herald.
 We are confident that the $5,00O goal will not only be reached but oversubscribed in view of the gen erous and fair attitude of the Amer lean Committe and that Isabel Rogan will gail to France in April as an ac- credited member of one of the most notable delegations which has ever left this country.
 Bridgeport cannot afford not to be represented in this delegation and. Bridgeport will came through
