 ment in July.

Captain A. j. Griffin in command of Co. H, 1s9th Inf Machine Gun, has announced the following promo tions which have been made in the ranks of the local company.

Probably New Workers

Bridgeport May 24--One of the men arrested said he was Irwin Grauet of 91 Willard street, New York City. The police believe all four men came from New York to pull off the rob- bery. They also believe the car may have been stolen from some place be- twen this city and New York.
 All Arc Caught
 The police were certain that there were only four men in the bandits machine when they made the holdup | so they were satisfied that they had completed the captures.
 The machine an dthe dead man were held at Stratford until Coroner Phelan could get there to view the body.
 It is said by the police that on no previous occasion recently was case taken up so quickly and so many po- l lice reserves mustered in so few min- ut8. New Haven, Milford and Strat- ford officers were available at once and all the highways east and west were being covered.
 The police ascertained that the dead man was probably Louis Stone known as "Stoney' among bis com panions living in New York, address unknown.
 The men under arrest are: Herman Grount, 35, said to be known as Max Freedman, and also said to be the leader of the gang; Max Becker New York city. declined to give any ad- ,J d a said he lived at 22 Pike street, New York. Grount is said to have lived on Willard or Willett street, New York.
 Car Probably Stolen
 The machine used by the men is said to have been stolen here. One of the men says it was taken from in front of St Nincent's hospital where it was parked about an hour before the holdup. The registry number is credited to Frederick Snyder of Spring street but up till early after noon he had not meen found so the police were uncertain that it was his car.
 The police believe there was a fifth man in the gang who was 10 have met the automobile in Barnum avenue and taken the cash box from the bank He failed to be at the place designated and the bandits lost a few minutes trying to locate him, Finally. accord ing to the latest explanation the men put the box on a stoop of the Barnum Terrace house.

WON'T INCREASE WAGES
Sewer Dept. Is Short Nearly 100 Men Because of Labor Conditions, But Will Continue Present Work.

Although the sewer department is nearly 100 hands short of the de- sired number of laborers for that kind of work. it is not expected that an increase in pay will be decided upon. Under present conditions, of ficials say, it would be impossible to lure the laborers away from jobs in factories and brckyards without of- fering wage that would be out of the question. Work on the east end sewer and on other jobs can be com pleted with the present forces, all though it cannot be speeded up as much as desired, it is explained.
