Wants - morn RUM ans New Yorkers Taxed Over $300 in Court—Peculiar Test Is Made. WESTPORT. July 6.—Ben.iamin Stern of 549 “West 113th street. and Herbert J. Freezer. of 24 Mount Mor- ris Park. New York city. were lined respectively 8200 and costs. and $100 and costs yesterday afternoon in the ’Westport Town court for transporting liquor without a government permit. The men were arrested Wednesday night by Officer Anthony Manion who found 1“ pints of imported rye whiskey in their car. Freezer told the court that he did not know the liquor was in the car. They were represented by Attorney Harry R. Sherwood. They were un- able to furnish their fines and were held until New York friends could aid them. The court refused to ac- cept their car as bond for the fines. Court officials. while they did not make a chemical test of the liquor. lighted a. match and it burned which convinced them that it was genuine stuff. Attorney Sherwood made a protest because he could not find an officer of the court around for seven". hours who could give him admission to the Coll of his clients. Stern claims that during the eve- ning some one approached his cell and asked him for some of the liquor. When he did not respond a. long han- dled rake. he claims. was pushed through the bars 'nnd one of the twelve packages drawn out. Prosecutor Bradley when asked about the incident—said he knew nothing about it. as he was not near the cell during the evening. Parking (Continued from Page One) him. He told of several parking spaces that he believed could be se- cured. but that he did not think that these would stop people from parking on the street. as they wanted their cars somewhere near the place where they were shopping. He asked that the 40-minute parking be given a tryout. Frederick Gelmard said that he had noticed several cars parking in the restricted places long over time. He told of seeing a truck parked on \‘V’nll street near the foot of Mill Hill for two hours. and that this thing should not be allowed. He further stated that he had traveled a great deal and that the only place that he had trouble regarding parking was in his home city. Mr. Gebhard com- plained about the trucks that were backed to the curb in Main street. Councilman Curtis declared he had noticed the same ,condition on Main street. and that he was disgusted with the merchants who allowed their de- livery cars and trucks to be parked in that manner. He also complained of the parking signs. which he said were very hard to read. Charles Miniz. chairman of the Sec- ond district merchants. read the rec- ommendations of his committee. They were as follows: The Honor Mayor and Council: Alter careful study of the traffic situation in South Norwaik and tak- ing into consideration the interests of the merchants and citizens at large. In an effort to relieve the congestion and dissatisfaction with the present traffic regulations. this committee pre- sents the following report: \Ve suggest a one-way street going east on Washington street from the railroad bridge to Water street; a one-way street going north on Water street from V‘Vashington street to Mar- shall street: a one-way street going west on Marshall street from Vi’ater street to North Main street: one-way street going west on Haviland street from Water street to South Main street. “To suggest no parking on west side of South Main street from Railroad bridge to Monroe street. We suggest on the east tide of South Main street from Clifford ho- tel to the present parking sign be- tween Rogers &. Stevens and Donnel- ly's store. to be Ito-minute parking. 40-minute parking in all other sec- tions in the center of the city from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. No parking within 25 ft. from all corners of streets above-mentioned. We suggest that two colors be used for traffic guides—red and white for "No Parking” and blue and while for “40-Minute Parking." We suggest that extra police be sta. tioned in the business district of South Norwaik during rush hours to direct traffic.- We suggest that the city have printed and mailed to an automobile owners "General Highway Traffic Regulations." a. card compiled by Wm. Eno. authority on traffic regulations. We would also suggest that the city instruct the street commissioner to put Haviland and Marshall streets in usable condition for traffic and that the tract of land on North Main street. 'so generously offered to the city by Samuel Roodner for parking purposes,be immediately put into condition for use. Respectfully submitted. JAMES DONNELLY. JOSEPH DAVIS. CHARLES E. HOYT. THOS. M'LEAN. CHARLES J. MINTZ. ‘ Chairman. Joseph Davis said that the commit- tee had gone over the report. carefully and that the members Were convinced that if it was carried out the business men and their patrons would be bene- fitted. He declared that he believed one-way traffic in \Vashington street would benefit the community at large. He stated that a few would not be sati isned and that it was ‘lnlfiOSElblO to please every one. There was some discussion as to whether parking should be allowed on one side of the street or both sides. The original report recommended that parking be allowed on both sides. but Mr. Mints stated that ho was sure that parking on one side of the street would be.accepted by the committee Charles Hoyt said that men if the automobiles were allowed to park on both sides of the street that conditions would be better than they are today. as automobiles would be able to move on both sides of the trolley cars. Councilman Mills then asserted that he believed that if the trolley cars were only allowed to make one stop in Washington street that congestion would be relieved a great deal. Sup- erintendent McLean of the Connecticut Company informed Mr. Mills that it was necessary for the cars to stop on account of the large trucks going through the street. Councilman Curtis at this point pre- sented a plan for a safety zone on the Wall street bridge. Mr. Curtis' idea called for a safety zone on the new bridge. at which point all of the small cars would stop and take on passen- gors and switch. The large cars com- ing from other points would take on and let off passengers only at the safety zone and would then go right through. The large cars coming from Stamford will go to the «top of Mill Hill to switch. Superintendent A. B. Potter of the Bridgeport division of the Connecticut Company said that he was sure that the safety zones would be a great help. He declared that the Connecticut com- pany wished to co-operato with the council in relieving the present situa- tion. He told of how the safety zones were a success in other cities and that these protected those who rode on the trolley cars. He said that the people who could not afford automobiles had tolbe looked after. Councilman James asked Mr. Potter if the small cars could not be turned around on the top of Mill Min. and Mr. Potter replied that that could not be. done very well as it would cause car conjestion at the top of the hill during the busy hours Councilman James then said that he was in favor of safety zones. but he did not favor them fur turning cars. Councilman Mills said before the meeting closed that he wanted to know if the parking ordinance was changed by the council to agree with the recommendations submitted by the committees. if the merchants would co-cperate with the city in. carrying out the new ordinance. Both Mr. Tris- tram and Mr. Mints said that they were sure tha tthe merchants would be more than willing to co-operate. The uptown committee was asked to submit its request for 40 minutes parking to the committee in writing so the. tit could be presented to the City Council at its meeting Tuesday night. at which time some action will be taken.

The Henry Ford Movement The New Haven Journal Courier Senator Copeland is back from the west with a. very frank interview in which he makes clear the strong sen- timent for Henry Ford in that region saying that if either party cared to take the car builder on as candidatr for pigmdent. he would be elected "No matter where you go you hear his name mentioned. They discuss him in the general stores of all the small towns and in the larger cities. He is the choice of the masses and the peo- ple believe his election would put the country on a. more solid founda- tion."\ ‘ Senator Copeland finds a belief that Mr. Ford could solve national pro- blems that press. especially agricul- tural. as he deals with his own in- dustrial problems. In this unquestioned enthusiasm the leaders of the old par- ties see registered the tedium and dis- gust the peoplc feel for their cowardly and insincere dealings with large ques- tions. It is characteristic. for instance. that the chairmen of both parties an- nounce that next year's plitforms will not refer to the nation‘s leor p e icy. The Ford movement is not primarily in adulation of the man. for his 'im- itations are common knowledge: it is rather a popular protest against lll'.‘ emptiness of party claims. the absence of manly assertion as to policies. and especially administrative inefficiency. It is true that the people have it in their power to dignity and make ef- fective administration by entrusting their affairs to the ablest men among them—it is illogical in them to accept shadow for substance. pretense for performance in their candidates and platforms; but democracy lends itself readily to central by the few. Being victimized. the masses strike out blind- ly. as shown by this about for Mr. Ford. As warning. it has some value. Mr. Ford. subjected to inquiry as to what he would do if elected presi- dent—lie has wisely refrained from details thus far—would be thrown back on some virile generics which he has proved throw animatiOn 1nto an industrial plant; but unfortunately na- tional and international issues cannot thus be disposed of automatically as when one man controls a factory. It would be a sorry time we should have with one inexperienced public Vulce trying to compel some millions of of- fice holders. to say nothing of the house and senate. to be 100 per cent. efficient. However. the menace of Ford is retribution for the puttering. nine spot statecraft into which cit- izen-neglect and political tions have plunged the country. “'c doubt not if the Detroit man were a candidate. apart from the noisy sup- port of the west and of th )50 who admire the greatest business execu- tive ofethis era. there would be an en— ormous silent vote—men am women interpreting the occasion .15 a chance to tell politicians what they think of them.

The Little Grouse Findsa Fricn By Thornton W. Burgess Give me the friend who is never afraid When I’m in trouble to prefer me aid. The first of the little Black Shadows came creeping out from the Purple Hills throu b the Green Forest. The lost little grouse had not. been ‘found by her mother. She was quite as much lost as ever. Always before at the ap roach d the Black Shadows she 11.: had nether Grouse to crawl under or to creep close to. Never in her short life had she been all alone. So perhaps it is not to be wondered at that as she saw the first. little Black Shadows creeping through the Green Forest she shivered with lone~ lines: and fear. She knew now that she would have to spend the night all alone. She didn't wait for more of the Black Shadows to come. She looked for a hiding place. and pres- ently she found an old log which was hollow- and open at one end. She crept into this, and did her best to make herself believe she wasn't “raid. But she was afraid. Yes. sir she was afraid. She was very much al’ raid. Every little sound that she heard made her tremble. Sounds that she had heard often enough and paid no attention to when she had mother with her now seemed st:snge and frightened her. You see,she was not yet old enough to know the meaning of each sound. She tried "to go to sleep. but couldn't. It was not yet uite dark when she heard the scan of little claws on the log in which she was hiding. She crouched as far back in that old leg as she could get, and her heart beat very fast with fright. She kept her eyes fixed on the o ning at the end 0 that old log. er worst fears were realised. Some one was looking in at that. opening. The little Grouse held her breath. Never in all her life had she been quite so fri litened. or perhaps half a minute this stranger stood lookin in. To the little Grouse he loch very b and terrible. Would be see her! ould he come in to get her! She wished then that she hadn't hidden in a place from which she could not fly. She felt that she had made a great mistake in crawling into that hollow log. Now there was no way out. The stranger moved. Would lie go away or would be come in? How terrible be looked! For just a second the little Grouse shut her eyes so as not. to see him. When she opened gr —lilrs. Grouse. Some one was looking in at that opening them again he was inside, and coming straight toward her. She wanted to cry out, but. she was too frightened to. Never before had she had such s dreadful feeling. You see. never before had she been so helpless as she now was. The stran r was almost to her, and he looked itter than ever. And then for the first time he saw her. “Well, well. well! Who is this” said a squeaky little voice. The little Grouse didn't re ly. She was so frightened she eoul n't have found her voice to save her life. The stranger had stopped. and was look- ing at her with a pair of bright eyes. which, if sherhad only known it. were also soft eyes. They must harem the dreadful fright of the little Grouse, for they began to twinkle. “Don't be afraid,” said the squeaky voice. “I‘m Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, and I won't hurt you. What are you doing here 2" Now, the little Grouse had seen Whitefoot the Wood Mouse before, and blather Grouse had told her what a timid, harmless little fellow he was. The instant she knew who lie was. in. no longer looked hi and terrible. He was _a friend. At east he nested to be friendly. - (Comm. 102:. by T. w. marge-J The next story: “The Little Ground ls Comforted." machina- ' ' I’lrhmag, JULY 6, 192a” IS CONVICTED BRIDGEPORT.
