SLEEP REFRESHES
 ASSAULT VICTIM
One of Alleged Assailants | Held Under Bond of | 5000
HEARING TUESDAY

Having spent a more comfortable night and refreshed by sleep, Frank McEvoy, 31, of 461 Cooke street, victim of vicious assault on Sco- will street late Thursday evening, showed a decided improvement to- day at St Mary's hospital. His chances of recovery are consider ably brighter and he is now ex- pected to recover from the severe beating administered to him by three young men.
 Martin Comedian, 34, of 133 Frank street, New Haven, is being held under bonds of $2,000 pend- ing a hearing next Tuesday norn- ing providing McEvoy recovers sufficiently to identify him. Con- nellan lost an arm in an automo- bile accident near Naugatuck about six months ago. Judging by the information obtained by the police concerning him he had little or nothing to do with the actual assault, although it is more than likely that he was in on the argu- ment. which led to the attack.
 McEvoy was found unconscious in an alley way between 64 and 58 about 2 o'clock. He had been bad ly beaten, his face battered, his eyes blackened and his mouth cut. Several marks on his body indi- cated that he had been brutally kicked.
 In searching for suspects the police rounded up yesterday sev- eral young men showing signs of having been fighting. All succeed ed in proving that their "affairs of honor" were staged in other sec- tions of the city and under cir 'cumstances different from the ap- parent free-for-all in which Me- Evoy was made the victim.

 "It is my pledge and promise that this dangerous kind of financ-

 Holshoe was designated as leader of the Irish faction. His assailaut had a knife. Some convicts out side the office heard the trouble and joined in the trouble but without serious injury.
 Guards rushed into the conflict, swinging clubs and fists. Heads were bruised and jaws smashed but, except for Holshoe, none was reported seriously hurt.
 The disturbance appeared to have been confined to the southern end of the island. Thousands of persons passing over the bridge in automobiles and on elevated trains every hour saw little evidence of trouble on the Long Island below. Only the police line and the boats in the river hinted at disorder on the island.

will be introduced" he said," pro- viding for the regulation and ade- quate taxation of motor trucks by the public utilities commission, for the purpose of more fairly equaliz- ing the competitive conditions be- tween the railroads and motor truck carriers. This is in line with action proposed to congress, where bills providing for the regulations of motor trucks and busses engag- ed in interstate commerce, are now pending. Such legislation would be beneficial to the railroad because at least some of the busi- ness now carried uneconomically by our unregulated truck competi- tors would undoubtedly come back to the rails. Regulation of the trucks would make for co-ordin- ated transportation, and would directly benefit each and every em- ploye of the railroad. The railroads are absolutely necessary as a part of the country's transportation sys- tenn.
 "The profitable operation of a transportation company depends upon its volume of traffic. The mar gin between revenues and expenses is small. The railroads of the country, after paying for materials and supplies, wages, interest and taxes, have but little of the total operating revenue left. and there- fore, the loss of a relativity small percentage of traffic, especially when it is the best paying traffic, soon wipes out this margin. The cost of labor is the largest single item of expense, and it automatic ally follows that reduced traffic with resultant loss of revenue necessitates reduced expenses by curtailing operations. This results in fewer jobs for train crews, shop men and all other classes of em- ployes. When the volume of good paying traffic continues to decrease wage reductions are next consider ed, and no one wants to be on the receiving end of pay cuts.
 "Whether or not such legislation will be enacted will depend upon the attitude of the state senators and representatives. These men are now being nominated for office and will be elected November 9th. We feel 1t should be to the interest of every railroad employe, man or woman, to ascertain who are the candidates for state senator and state representative. that he or she will be entitled to vote for, to seek out these candidates and ascertain from them whether or not they will be favorably disposed toward legislation seeking to regulate the trucks and thus more faily equal iZe competitive conditions between the railroads and the motor trucks"

 a police official said. "Too many new names have cropped up in the gangs lately; too many newcomers have been stirring up trouble."1
 When the latest victim of the current gang war was identified late yesterday as Harry Lefton, alias Moscovitz, known to the po- lice as an automobile"thief, one of the police theories was strength ened. That is that the car thief's racket" has become so unre- munerative that he is selling alco- hol or liquor on the side.
 The alcohol dealers and the whiskey bootleggers, selling at cut rates to a clientele that cannot af- ford to drink as much as former 1y, meet the intrusion with threats, assaults, or one-way rides.
 It was explained that the price of second hand automobiles is so low that q man who steals an au- tomobile is forced to dispose of it to a fence" at very low figure. That means he has to steal nearly twice as many cars to make as much in former years.
 The temptation to double-cross is intensified if there are several members of the robbery gang. By the time receipts are split. there frequently is only a pittance in each share. "One man less on the diyvy, that much more for the rest of us" Is the idea behind a num- Der of recent slayings. police be- lieve.
