~ STATE. BRIEFS TERSELY T0LD “ Near Riots ;n Bridgeport When Sugar Is Put Up for Sale Bridgeport—Near riots resulted the wholesale district yesterday when retall grocers besieged the wholesale markets;to obtain their allotments of sugar. A shipment of 60,000 pounds in bags of 100 pounds each was re- celved this morning by Susman and Feuer and policemen were called to restore order the grocerymen rushed into get their supplies. The sugar situation is greatly re- * leved, however, and small shipments are being received daily. On Friday and Saturday nearly 1,000 barrels were received, but were quickly dis- tributed. Another shipment is ex- pected today and it is probable that severa] hundred barrels will be re- celved Tuesday or Wednesday. Sylvester Poli. New Haven—The men by a vote of 10 to 8 ordered Building Inspector Austin to give S. Z. Poli a certificate to the effect that the new Palace theater on Church street is constructed according to law, and to authorize the chief of police to give permission to open the the- ater as built within the provisions of the city ordinances. Onc of the bitterest fights ever held in the present Board of Alder- men featured the session last night. Mayor Campner, given permission to speak, when his veto message, refus- ing to sanction the order allowing Mr. Poli to open in exemption of the ity ordinances, was not even con- sidered officially, concluded by telling the members that he was ashamed of the Board of Aldermen, in as German Arrested. Waterbury-——Rudolph C. Roumanne, a German bookkeeper. who was ar- rested at the plant of the Cudahy Packing company on West Main street, was taken to New York by United States immigration officers. Roumanne was arrested technically Afor coming into this country eight years ago without registering accord- Ing to the law. His connection, how- ever, with tho Hamburg-American ! steamship line, which was recently raided by the United States authorvi- ties, and all books and papers seized gave rise to the belief that something had been found in the confiscated documents that caused the arrest of the former bookkeeper.

With the capture of the first United States soldiers by the Germans our covernment began to arrange through nentral nations for their decent treat- ment and that of future prisoners of war. At once steps were taken to let Germany know how well those of her subjects who are interned in this country are treated. The accompany- ing illustration goes to prove that allen enemies under restraint in employed was not the victim of foul play as first suspected but died of in- juries sustained when kicked by one of the horses in the stable. The man when found was only partially clothed and was found some distance away from the stall where | the horses were tied. This at first created a suspicion but investigation disclosed the fact that Platt appar- ently rolled over about ten feet after being struck by the horse. A Family Feud. Waterbury—JA feud between two Platts Mills familles which was start- ed some time ago over a fight between fhe et degs of the two families, broke out anew vesterday and ended in a hurry call being sent to Police Headquarters by Arthur Baker, who clalmed his life was in danger at the hands of James W. Johns, his next door neighbor, who had him under siege In his house. “I can't leave the house: he's outside with a club, threatening to Kill me if I come out,” Mr. Baker telephoned to head- quarters No lives were <0 ANOTHER RIOT. Hammers, Stones and Chunks of Coal Used in Giving Beating. Copenhagen, Nov. 20.—A riot oc- curred recently near Ptyell, in Poland, where members of the Polish legion, the nucleus of a proposed Polish army of the new Austro-German pro- tectorate were sent when they wero disarmed and disbanded several months ago because they refused to take a dual oath to Poland and the ‘Austro-German soverelgns. Some members of the legion, learning that a number of their comrades proposed to take the oath fell upon them with hammers, stones, chunks of coal and any weapons available, giving them a severe beating. The Germans have transferred the bellicose leglonaries to another camp. THE HOSTESS HOUSE. Ayer, Nov. 20.—The Hostess house of the Young Women’s Christian as- sociation at Camp Devens will be for- mally opened next Monday. Mrs. Howard Morse, of New York, secre- tary of the war work council of the national board of the association will deliver an address describing the or- ganization’s work in furnishing social facilities in connection with training camps. — COMB SAGE TEA IN FADED OR GRAY HAIR Look Young! Common garden Sage and Sulphur darkens so Naturally nobody can tell. Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won- derful effect. By asking at any drug store for “Weyth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get a large bot- tle of this old-time recipe, improved by the additlon of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended restere natural color beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied— it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite.

CONGESTION WILL BE HELPED SOON Committee on Transportation Holds Important Meeting Hartford, Nov. 20.—Th> commlttee on transportation of the Conr ecticut State Council of Defense today that its plan for rcheving freight congestion in the s*tate by making use of idle automobile trucks has been developed to the point where the committee is able to halp ship- pers and is only waiting to hea~ from them as to their needs The commit- tee, with the eo-operation of the Motor Vehicle department, re- cently sent out rds to wll the truck owners of Connecticut asking for in- formation as to which of them ' had trucks available for extra work. It was surprised to learn that in spite of the great activity of industry there are a large number of trucks in Con- necticut that are able to do transpor- tation work for other shippers than their owners. In the section between Hartford and New Haven and that part of the state paralleling it, it is estimated, on the basis of statistics on file in the committee’s office at the capitol, that there are approximately 500 mo- tor Arucks idle from two to seven days a week. In the committees files are the names of truckmen in many cities and towns who are availahle for e tra work and have signified their wil- lingness to furnish the service asked. A large number of these trucks are located in the chief industrial cities. Hartford has idle trucks with a ca- pacity of 100 tons, New Haven 175 tons, Bridgeport 35 tons, Stratford, 30 tons, New London 17 tons, Norwalk 20 tons, South Manchester 18 tons, Torrington 25 tons and Waterbury 35 tons. There are probably many more trucks idle as many of the truck own- ers have not replied to the cards sent them., The transportation committee Is ready to receive requests from ship- pers for the delivery of goods that are held at freight terminals or other- wise delayed in shipment. The com- mittee will arrange with the truck owners who have offered their serv- ices to deliver the freight. The serv- ice is available for any emergency work and also for shipments of a gen- cral character where the use of the trucks will relieve congestion in other shipment channels. When the work has been more thoroughly organized the shippers and the truckmen will be brought into touch more directly through bureaus in the more impor- tant industrial centers. annrounced ate DID GOOD BUSINESS. Boston Bonding Company Enjoyed a Monopoly For Months. Boston, Nov. 20.—Supplementing a recent finding that the Peter J. Fitz- enjoyved a monopoly in the bonding of city em- ployes, the Boston finance commission reported today that this monopoly ex- tended to the bonding of contractors doing work for the city. The Fitzger- ald company was aided in forming the monopoly, the report held, by Mayor James M. Curley and Francis L. Daly, his politieal, and at one time, business assoclate. The commission also charged failure on the part of the city 10 enforce llability upon honds of con- tractors where a llability existed. The commission recommended that in the future that all insurance brok- ers be allowed '‘free, open and honest competition and approach to the city contracts, free from psyémological in- fluence.” PLAN OF CANPAIGH NOT IN FULL SHING But the Scheme to Check the U-Boats Is Something Good London, Nov. 20.—In view of Pre- mier Lloyd George's statement that the submarine danger was no longer feared and that five enemy submarines were destroyed on Saturday, it may bo stated that the constanily growing L success of enemy suzmarines is that is the result, not merely of new de- vices, but also of a plan of cam- paign which has been worked out in elaborate detail and which has not yet | reached its full development. | ‘Washington, Nov. 20.—When Gov- | ernment officlals were told of Mr. Lloyd George's statement that he had | no further fear of submarines and that five U-boats were sunk last Sat- urday, they showed keen satisfaction. There has been a disposition here re- cently to believe that thg allied nav- jes were making progress in combat- ing submarines, and officials have felt considerable relief over the situation. One high official, who has means of | obtalning confidential information concerning,the efforts of the Allies to combat the submerine menace, said, | with reference to Mr. Lloyd George's announcement: “It may not be quite correct to say that we have no further fear of sub- marines, but it is true that Germany has not accomplished with her U-boats what she set out to do. T can say that ! it is true that more submarines have been destroyed in the last two months than in the previous year.” The Government received recently the news that three submarines were dstroyed by the allied naval forces on one day. An official who has access to the confidential reports of subma- : rine sinkings sent to thls Government and who has not been optimistic over | the efforts to overcome the U-boat menace, said he was now of the opin- ion that by next Spring the allied nav- al forces would have the German sub- | marine situation well in hand. This | official based his opinion on reports recently received.” The force of American destroyers and submarine chasers in the waters infested by German U-boats is being constantly augmented, and the chasers have proved much better sea boats than was supposed. In the Spring the American destroyver force abroad wiil be increased considerably. One opinion to account for the poor sucess of enemy submarines is that the Germans have turned their atten- tion to the onstruction of a huge air- craft fleet, to the detriment of U-boat building. The general opinion is that Germany is losing U-boats faster than she can build them. CARRINGTON HELD. Bristol Tax Collector Will Face perior Court in December. Su- Bristol, Nov. 20.-—Edward L. Car- rington, former tax collector, was held for the December term of the superior court today on the charge of embez- zlement of lawful moneys, from the city of Bristol. Judge Mink placed the bond of $3,000 which Carrington pro- vided. The auditors who have been going over the tax collector's books made their report. The shortage of Carring- ton was placed at §5,412.93. Last week Carrington turned over $1,800 in cash and securities of a face value of be- tween $6,000 and $7,000. He also released equity in real estato to the amount of $3,5600. The city treasurer has sold sufficient securities to liquid- ate the shortage and will turn over the balance to Carrington, with the real estate. The auditors point out that there was no falsification of the books. The cash was simply taken and no return made to the treasurer. It will not be necessary to make a de- mand upon the bonding company which furnished the collector’s bond. condition.
