Yellow Mill bridge, Stratford ave nue, againS in in dangerous condl- Jion because of the settling Of pie supports. Unless immediate repairs are made the structure may be rend- cred totally unsafe and unfit. Sup ports under the eastern pier have set lied two inches into the river, leaV- ing a corner to be upheld by its own weight. Reports on the need of repairs, that would have eliminated the present trouble, were made to the past administration more than two years ago, but nothing was ever done. While estimates of the actual cost of the repairs have not been ob- tained. to place the bridge in a safe condition will mean the expenditure of several thousand dollars.
 City Engineer James A. McElroy, after an examination, stated that re- pairs would be made as soon es pos sibIe. and would start next week. He found that supports under the north ern end of the east rest pier, upon which rests the draw span, have set tied fully two inches into the rlver- This end of the draw has absolutely nothing in the way of support, and Is being retained in position entirely by its own weight. It Is possible for the heavy vehicular traffic across the bridge. to force the unsupported end out of position, which would prac- ticaily render it useless for either Ve- hicular or marine traffic
 Director of Public Works George NJ COughnn 6On1tleQ ne was a"dIe . of the condition of the bridge. having been brought to his attention yester- day by former superintendent of bridges, Stanley Hrdina-
 "I asked MT. Hrdina why he had " aited so long for reporting such a serious matter, and he replied that the condition has existed for the past two years, was getting worse every day, and that he had reported it sev- era1 times in the past to proper of ficiais. but had Never been given any satisfaction"

House Chairman Receives Report
 From Disabled Vets

The disabled American vet erans as the national body of the wounded and disabled men today presented to Honorable Martin B, Madden, chairman Of the Com mfttee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives, the following report concerning con- dft1ons at U. s. Vocational Train ing School Number One at Camp Sherman, ChiIIicothe, Ohio:
 Not a single student was in the plumbing school, according to Mir. Marx. There was dearth of equipment here as also was the case in the bakery, he declared.
 "It looked like real work was being done in the tailoring school" the report said "There were only two or three men who seemed to be idle and it appeared that instruction was being given.'
 The shoe repairing school, the reports stated, was the busiest fin the camp.
 "We did not find a single stu dent who expressed satisfaction with the methods of teaching or with the courses of instruction he was receiving" Judge Marx said. "Many of the students wanted to go homo but were afraid to ask fearing they would be dropped from training entirely and thus lose the chance of rehabilitation"

Army experience taught mo that whom advance notice is given of an intended inspection. everything is prepared for the inspector in advance and therefore he does not see things as they really are. I believe that we saw the school exactly as 1t really is, and this report tells fin detail what we saw.
 We first visited the school rooms, which arc located in tho old ware houses formerly used by the quarter master corps of Camp Sherman. Windows have been cut In these been made over in a makeshift fash lon for schools and classroom pur- poses
 School of Electricity.
 We found this to be big room and upon tnquiring learned that the en- rollment for the electrical school was approximately eighty. We counted 37 actually present and of that num- ber there were just exactly two who were doing something. The only equipment was such as could be picked up around an abandoned camp, such as lighting fixtures. few old fans and some motors.
 Sign Painting School
 We next went to the sign-painttng school When we entered this sch ool school had been in session about one half to three-Quarters of an hour. We found the men sitting in comfortable arm chairs In circle around the central stove in the class room. They made no attempt to get up our entrance and only two of those in the room were drawing or painting.
 The Plumbing School.
 We found this to be a big room completely empty, with the single ex- ception Of the instructor. MT. Grant. We asked the instructor how many men were enrolled and he said four teen, but that seven were sick and the others were scattered around the camp doing odd jobs. Not a single student was present.
 Baking School
 The baking school is located in the old army bakery. When we came in we found no one present except an army sergeant. We asked the Ser geant how many students he had un- der him being trained to he bakers. He replied, -Four" We asked where they were and he said: They report for work at 4:S0 a. m., and their work is through at 11:3o a.. m." We

Will Sift All
 Gases to Find Cause of Death
Medical Examiner Garlick And Coroner Phelan Will Make Thorough Investi- gation - To Be Conduct ed Like Any Inquest.

Such haste was followed in the re- | m oval and enba1ning of the body of
 Mrs. J. W. Bloesch. 45. of 1891 God dard street, who died at Bridgeport hospital, that intentions of Medical Examiner pr. s. M. Garlick, and Cor l oner John J. Phelan have been thwarted in this particlar case She died Thursday at the hospital, but due to the fact that her body has been handled in the usual way by the l undertakers. Dr. Garlick is in extreme doubt as to the advisability or prac- discover if vaccination, said to have been performed approximately g. month before death, in any way was to blame for her demise.
 Will Investigate All.
 Coroner Phelan and Dr. Garlfck intend to sift every case to the bot tom where there is any element of doubt in the minds of the immediate vaccinationists. The cause of the death of Mrs. Goddard was officially given out as septic sore throat. A third case, pointed to with suspicion by those opposed to the vaccination, that of Carl H. Brandt, 32, of AZ Bell street, may not be subject to an inves- tigation as the man has already been buried. The cause of his death is bar pneumonia, win other complica- tions. Dr. J. W. Gerber stated this morning that as far as he knew the man was never vaccinated.
 Not having satisfied several doctors opposed to vaccination as the means of preventing a spread of the small pox epidemic, by the performance of an autopsy upon the body of little six-year-old Mary Js.cquehne Casey, daughter of MT. and Mrs. John Casey, 260 Broad street, Coroner Phelan will go deeper into the investigation.
 The autopsy. performed by the med fral iYn iY, "a m eral doctors who are strongly opposed to vaccination, did not show any con tinuity of infection between the in hammatton upon the arm (the point of vaccination), and the point of in- famation that was given as the cause of the death. which was appendicitis.
 Coroner Orders Samples.
 However, those who are waging the war against vaccination maintain that this did not necessarily show that vac directly the death. The coroner. therefore, has ordered that samples of the substance taken from the point of vaccination, and the appendix be determine if they are the same, or have any connection. No better means is known to Coroner Phe1an, who is desirous only of sitting the matter to the bottom that all con- cerned may be satisfied.
 It is anticipated that the work of analysis with other attendant delay will consume week. At the end of that time an open investigation will be held by Coroner Phe1an, conducted along the same lines as any inquest. All testimony will be carefully rec orded, any who wish and who know of the case will be asked to testify under oath. and 1t Is planned lic, as are all investigations conducted in this county by Coroner Phelan.

To Keep U. S. From Genoa
 Without Offense
Harding And His Advisers Do Not Want To Offend Italian Government Or Britain Chief Sponsors Of Economic Conference
By GEORGE R. HOLMES.

Washington, Jan. 2S-President Harding and his advisers are seeking posed Genoa economic conference without offending either the Italian government, which issued the invita- tions, or the British government, the parley's principal sponsor.
 This was the explanation put for ward today in Semi-otf1cial quarters for the administration unusual delay in answering the invitation to the Ge- noa meeting.
 Pressure both for and against the United States taking part in the Ge- noa meeting is being eXerted at the White House. Daily dozens of letters are being received advocating accept ance and rejection of the invita1 on.
 Administration spokesmen who have sounded out congressional sen timent declared today that opini on patton. It is known also that ma jority of the cabinet shares this VleW.
 The White House statement thaf "the United States bears reiatlon tally different from that of any other nation' was taken today as fa1rly ref1ecting the admintstration's deter imitation to examine carefully every aspect of the meeting before nnally committing the United States to any policy.
 Officials declared today 1t was un- certain when a reply would be sent to Rome, but certainly not until Colonel George Harvey has conciuo. ed his conversations with officials or the new Poincare ministry in France next week, and not before the end or the armament conference in Wash ington.
 Extraordinary importance is at- tached in diplomatic quarters here to the mission of Colonel Harvey to Paris. French circles in Washington arc hostile to the Genoa meeting. They regard it with suspicion as a British-Itahan move to rehabilitate Germany and pave the way for the eventual economic exploitation or Russia. in which France would not be a major participant.
 It is expected that Colonel Harvey will make full report to President Harding on this aspect of the meet ing after his conversations with Pre- 1nier Poincare.
 Meanwhile events shaped steadily today toward the end of the Wash .ngton Conference. In some quarters the belief was that the conference might be able to wind mp its work by the last of next week, but in others it was stated It probably will take longer than a week.
 vert ton in the She ntung was trans afed into action today. A draiti of Chinese and Sapanese met to begin the actual drawing up 1f the Shantung treaty Formal an- of the settle Ta7t the shantung question is expected on 
 Other activities of the conference were suspended today whtre the vari- ,us odds and ends were being shar- sd up toward a plenary 7sssion next Eaek.

Made Attempt To Derail Shore
 Line Limited

Los Angeles. Jan. 2s-An alleged attempt to derail the San Francisco Los Angeles Shore Line Limited train of the Southern Pacific railroad, and pile 1t into ravine at Glendale, a suburb. was frustrated last night when Los Angeles police shot and seriously wounded Walter D. Lam bertson, a railroad switchman.
 It is the contention of the police that Lambertson nailed a derailer to the track in an attempt to wreck the train and secure a sum of money es- timated at from S70,ooo to $15e, 900 which was abandoned.
 Lambertson is said by police to be wanted in Seattle, Wash, on charges of murder and by the government authorities there on charges of crtm- inal syndica,lism.

Yello1u MiH Bridge Pile
 Supports Settle; Thousands MayBe Required for Repairs

MT. Coughlin informed City En- gineer McEIroy. and the two examin- ed the structure toGay,
 ''I really don't know what can be done, it is in such condition now, " MT. Elroy said. 'I am drawing plans and hope to be able to repair the sup ports in some way or manner within 8 short time.
 source of great worry and expense to the city for many years past It was constructed in 1897, and is val ued at approximately $150,000. In timates of the costs of repairs and renovations have been placed at near 1y s1OO,00o.
 The bridge actually is regarded as partment, and great difficulty is al- ways encountered when a government tai permit is sought for repairs or alterations. In 1916. when former City Engineer A. H. Terry sought per mission to make repairs of a similar nature to those needed now, the city was ordered to entirely rebuild the structure before 1926. Save for occa- sional repairs of a temporary nature, no steps have ever been taken in this direction.
 In view of the governments disap- proval of the bridge. which was caus- ed by the failure of the city to build the bridge in accordance with the specifications approved by the U. S. Engineering Corps, it is doubtful if a permit will be given for the work now necessary, if it is found that govern mental approval Is needed.
 City Engineer McElroy expressed the hope that the bridge may be kept open for traffic while the repairs are being made. The bridge is an im- portant link in one of the most inn portant traffic arteries in the city. To close it even for a few days would mean result in a great deal of con fusion, as we'll as disrupt trolley ser vice between Bridgeport and all points between here and New Haven.

 On March first the entire system of the Connecticut company will enter Into another fare arrangement, where by old established fare limit and transfer privileges will prevail, with fare of ten cents cash, or three tickets, or tokens. for quarter.
