JOHN A. SHEA,
 HOTEL OWNER.
 PASSES AWAY

John 4. Shea, for many years pro prietor of Shea's hotel on Main street, died last night about II o'clock at his home, S44 Main street. AL though he had not been in good health for some time, his death was somewhat of a shock.
 For many years MT. Shea was one of the best known men in this city. He was born in Liverpool, Eng, and came to this country in his early twenties. After a few years in New York he came to Bridgeport and sold life insurance. Later he becaGe mail carrier but left the government service few years after to become manager of the Amazon cafe.
 Prior to the establishment of his own cafe, on the corner of Main and Union streets, about 25 years ago. he managed cafe on John street, near Main: This place was owned by Matthew J. Maloney and the late Fritz Pfau.
 It was while he was established at t-le Main and Union streets place that MT. Shea became so very we'll known little south of the original cafe. The new structure was known as Shea's hotel.
 Fighters and Actors.
 Few places in Bridgeport had such wide and romantic history as Shea's hotel, which was a stag hostelry There many of the most pronin ent actors of the day were accommo dat
  It was also a popular meeting place for prominent lights in the hstic cir cle. Mutely do the walls. covered with thousands of pictures, tell of days. Besides thosa on the walls. MT. Shea also made a collection of e1to- graphed pictures of old theatrical and pugiHstic favorites of other days which are now almost priceless. Every year hundreds of visitors in Bridgeport from all parts of New England came to the Shea hotel for the main purpose of viewing the
 Not only the pictures but the friendship of weIl-known professional men, did MT. Shea possess. He was a warm friend of James J. Corbett, the former heavyweight champion; Tommy Ryan, the n1iddleweight champion; Mysterious Bill Smith, one of the most popular pugilists of his day; Sam Harris, the theatrical mag nate; George M Conan, actor and playwriter and many others of equal prominence,
 MT. Shea was as well-known in faternaI circles as he was in the busi- ness world. He was one of the or ganizers of the Eagles. a life member of the Elks, a member of Court Waldemere, the Brotherhood of Amer ica, and the Moose. Through these organizations and individually he un- Ostentatiously accomplished much good and charitable work, and his death will be a distinct loss to many worthy people to whom he was a benefactor.
 Funeral Monday.
 He is survived by his wife, two daughters, Miss Alice Shea, and Mrs. Catherine Linley, and one grandson, Jack Linley.
 The funeral will be held Monday morning at o'clock from his late home, 844 Main street and at 9:3O o'clock in Sacred Heart church where a solemn high mass of requiem will be celebrated. Interment will be made in the family plot in St. Michael's cemetery.

KING FAvORS
 BLOCK PLAN
Would Copy Tammany Hall System - Denies Connor and Challen- ger Are to Be Bosses.

John K. King, in offering his block plan for keeping a check on voters to the Ninth district club at a meet ing last night declared that if the club would install the system which Tammny Hall uses to win it's victo- ries. he would give the organization $250 to put the system over
 King denied that Arthur Connor and Senator Howard $. Challenger were to be designated the ''bosses'' of the party as has been reported. Challenger has enough to do in his own district. MT. King said. King said that the block plan was a scheme whereby every one in the district would take an active interest in politics instead of only a few. A strong district organization was ad- vocated by MT. King.
 MT. King declared that Human nature'' had to be injected into city government and advocated the aboli- tion of patronage over which Dem ocrats are now squabbIing. Three per cent. of the political workers are job seekers, MT. King said, while the remainder are working for some one else. Appeals to class votes are a bad feature of the present system, MT. King said.
 Explaining the block plan, the Re- publican leader said that on every block there is a captain and two neutenants who keep in constant touch with the voters on their par ticular street.

and char. Because men are physical ly stronger than women. Because cooking is of tremendous importance for the welfare of the family-and would, therefore, be better undertaken by men-long known as the more competent sex Because experience shows that where men do this work they do it better than women
 There is one aspect of houseworlx, however, from which Dr. Chesser would exempt misunderstanding
 Men fail nurses because the duty of nursing is inspired by the mother spirit in women" she said. Men have not the instinct, and that is the reason why they are no good as nurses"
 But Dr. Chesser admits that no sharp line of demarcation could be drawn between mems and women's work.
 Men excel in creative work" she said. That is only because women's creative energy goes to the fulfflment of the motherhood function"
 Woman would soon put this topsy turvy world right, she concluded.

WALDO ADDRESSES
 EXCHANGE CLUB

The modern newspaper is a public utility, George c. Waldo, editor-in- chief of the Post Publishing Company, last night told members of the recent ly organized Exchange Club. Mr. Waldo said in part:
 The modern newspaper is essen tial1y an American institution" de- clared MT. Waldo, "and America was the first nation to incorporate the treedo om of the press as a part of the fundamental law of the land. Though the first European newspaper was published in Holland and the first inn portant group of newspapers appear ed in England, it remained for the United States to develop a really free press under the protection of the con- stitution-and this at a time when they were still jailing editors in Eng land for daring to print the proceed ings of Parliament. The difference in viewpoint is striking. In Europe the affairs of government were considered none of the peoples business. In the United States from the outset, public affaris were considered essentially the peoples busin ess, and 1t is worthy of note that under this theory the Amrican government has reached a period where, in point of continued stability under one form, 1t is the oldest government existing among the great civilized nations.'

BRITISH SAY WOMEN
 ARE BUSINESS FAILURES

 TeSDOudent
THTRCH

London, Dec. 15-English women are failures at business at least that Is what statistics would seem to show
 An increase in the number of wo- men who have failed in business is shown by the bankruptcy statistics which have just been published for the year 1921. In 1921 there were three women who failed for every woman who failed in 1920. Out of 3,472 receiving orders issued, 325 were against women traders. of wh orn g were in the draperv and haber- dashery trade and 47 in millinery and dressna king.
 Marriage and thoughts of marriage are the cause according to Miss Ell spe.h Phelps, Court dressmaker.
 So many women fail to learn their business properly, Miss Phelps says. They do not train themselves adequately; they will not put their hearts into the work; they shirks the work; they shirk the drudgery that a man accepts.
 "The reason for this is a funda- mental one: They are all thinking more about marriage than about business They may be in business to earn their living. but too often they regard their activities merely as a stepping stone; they have not made up their minds to stick to Iusiness.'

London, Dec. 15-Men should do the cooking, scrubbing and washing among other jObs-and women should do nursing, doctoring, preach ing, and other work connected with the church.
 This, according to Dr. Sloan Ches- ser, famous London woman doctor, is the ideal distribution of work.
 At meeting of the Women's Free dom League in London the fair doc tor conjured up a picturesque vision of men tOiling among the cooking utensils and scrubbing brushes while women concentrated on infant well fare.
 For thousands of year, she said, wo- world. The old argument that wo- men had done the hard work of the men were too weak to do certain kinds of work had never been applied to such tasks as carrying buckets about the house and scrub ping the floors.
