Mayor Calvin 1.. Barton this morn-

the only practical method of trans-
portation to and from the new park.
“We have received a number of re.
quests for permits to operate auto-

ther they will do so or not. but we
hope so." .
Questioned as to whether or not
Calf Pasture Beach would be closed
to bothers using automobiles as bath
houses. Mayor Barton replied in the
negative.
"The bath houses will be completed
about August 1." said Msyor Barton.
“The trouble is that there are only
twa hundred of them which will not

Become Quite Active in
- Raids ‘ on Alleged
“Speak-easies.”
STA'MF'ORD, July Itv-Conaiderabio
comment was heard in civic and
political circles in Stamford yesterday
concerning the suddenly “woken“!
interest of the police in the matter of
liquor enforcement regulations.
Of a sudden on Thursdsy Chief Hef-
fernan was stung into feverish activity
and raided several alleged "speak-
casles" in the vicinity of Canal and
Pacific streets.
Among those places raided was the
cigar and candy store of MsryThleler
at. 179 Canal street. It is said a. pint
of "white mule" was found there by
the police. Other stores visited failed
to produce any evidence. ‘
The raiding party included the Chief
Capt. John B. Brennan and Detective
Sergeant James Thewlis. .
It was reported. after the search.
that a warrant would be issued for the
arrest of Mary Thieler, but. Prosecut-
ing Attroney Kenealy yesterday. just
before leaving the city. said he had
taken no action. and according to the
police. no wan-ant was issued or ar-
rest made last night
Shortly after the raid. Thursday the
matter was brought to the attention
of the Sentinel by s. Pacific street. re-
sident. The police. however. for res.-
sons best known to themselves, with-‘
held information or confirmation ,of
their activities until Friday morning.
Not a few Stamford citizens were
considerably amused yesterday .after-
noon when they read of the latest
“fling" on the part of the police to
dry up the city. and of the sum total
result of the raid conducted by the
Chief himself. A Main streetmerchant
said: ' ’ '
“\Vhy did our blue-coats wander so
far from home? If they opened their
eyes. they could garner considerably
more wet "evidence” within s. stones
throw at i" log: headquarters."
A mlnlst and a former cotihcllmsn

ed knowingly. The former had the .
audacity to inject the onus .of Special
Officer Gingle into the conversation;
"I understand." he said” thst the
alleged wine-shop conducted erln-
gie and his family ath Liberty street

openly. but still running. I hsven't

He exudes cheerfuiness. He is court—

It was way back in 1883 that
"Charley" first entered the employ of

when the old horse car was supreme;
a day when the electric car and auto-
mobile was undreamed of except pos-
sibly by men of extremely imaginative
minds. It was the day when the
"motorman" chiruped “gidap” to the
slow moving steed that was the mo—
tive power of the trolley. It was a
day when the trolley conducter knew
(the faces of half of the few thous-
and people that made up the popu-
lation of the town.

Williams has witnessed the marvel-
ous improvements made in street

And it will not be surprising if he
should witness the passing of the pre-
sent electric trolley and the coming
of its successor the large automobile

Williams was interviewed by a Sen-

The new call omits two items which
were informally discussed at the
meeting Wednesday night: garbage
removal and road oil appropriations.
They were left off this time because
the board of finance did not make re-
port upon them. Action upon an ap-
propriation of $25,000 to complete
Morningslde Drive must be deterred
also since this. too. is omitted from the
call for the same reason.
\Vith three items of the original
call left out. two new ones were sent
in. to take their place. The Board of
Finance recommended that 3500 be
paid to Miss Helen M. Perry. director
of Americanlzatlon. as one half her

the Board of Finance recommended
only five. Those the board passed on
were the two above matters of sal-

from July 15th. to October lst. $200
for repairing Riverside avenue. and
for the town of Westport to take over
the fire hydrants from the Fire Dis-
trict and assume rentatl for them
from January let.
The sense of the last. town meeting
was that the Vigilaut Hose company
was to receive $1,000 to repair its fire
station it it were to remain on the
west side of the State street bridge.
The Finance board did not recommend
that «amount.
It is rumored that. the local firemen
will refuse to answer alarms if the
Board of Finance refuses to pay them.

iS FREED AGAIN
For Second Time Murder
Jury Calls Her Not
Guilty.
NEW’ARK. N. J.. Jul! 14.-—Mrs.
Mary F. Creighton. on trial here for
the alleged poisoning of her mothen
luv-law, Mrs. ‘Amziie Creighton. more
~than two years ago. was acquitted by
a jury last night. The jury went in
at 4:05 and returned its verdict after
four hours' deliberation.
As the foreman pronounced the
words "not guilty." Mrs. Creighton
collapsed. but was revived in a few
minutes. Her husband. John Creigh-
ton. for a moment misunderstood the
verdict. and stood dazed until he was
informed that his wife had been ap-
quilted.
The streets outside the courthouse
were filled with a. large crowd walt-
ing for Mrs. Creighton to leave the
building.
After thanking her counsel and re-
ceiving congratulations. Mrs. Creigh-
ton's first thought was for her two
children. John. '11:) was born. two
months ago in the House of Deten-
tion. and. Ruth. ,3 years old. She said
she had but one desire and tart was
to return to them.
It was the second time Within a.
month ~that Mrs. Creighton. who is
only 24 years old. had faced a. ver-
dict of death or life imprisonment. on
a charge of murder by poisoning.
Three Weeks ago she was acquitted of
the charge of poisoning her brother.
Charles R. Avery. for the sake of in-
surance. In that trial she was a co-
det‘endent with her husband. 15hr:
Creighton. who also was acquitted.
The charge of poisoning her mother-
in~law. she faced alone. her husband
not having been accused of aiding n
the alleged poisoning of his mothe .
In both trials the state maintained
that alleged poisoning of the two
members of the Creighton family had
brought financial benefit to the do-
fendent. No other motive was of-
fered.

Sentinel Reporter Learns
In an a effort to learn what Nor-
walkers think of the Henry Ford-for-
presldcnt idea. the Sentinel has gath-
ered the following opinions: Cl"
Frank Aiken—-“I believe that Hen-
ry Ford would make one of the great-
est presidents that the United States
has ’cvcr had.
"I believe that Ford would give
this country a. real business-like ad-
‘mlnlstration. Givevhlm two terms in
‘the White Ho'cse. ‘yon would and
taxes lbwer. graft greatly eliminated
and a. prosperous country."
Mrs. Michael J. Howard. of 2 Con-
necticut avenue. chairwoman of the
First; “'ard W'omen’s Democratic as-
sociation.——"\Vhile Ford has been a
success as a business man. I am not
sure whether he has the qualifications
of a president. I really wouldn't
want to say one way or another. I do
know that I didn't like Ford's Peace
Ship proposition during the war. I
thought that it was a. joke and it
seemed awfully silly to me. But
still his motives in the project may
have been the best.
"For my part. I think that McAdoo
would make a, better president than
Ford. The former understands the
affairs of the country; he has had the
necessary experience in affairs of
state and is a. brilliant man."
’ H. W. Richdalc. of Darien. com-
mander of the American Legion Post
in that place—"I think that Ford
would make a. good president. What
we need in the White House is some
one that is different. Some one who
is not afraid to say what he thinks is
right. and I think that Ford is this
type of man. I don't .agree with
some of Ford’s ideas. but he has a
number of good ones. I think that
if nominated he will be elected.”
What people think of Henry Ford
for President:
John Cuneo~“He's sugood busi-
ness man but: it‘s a. question as to
whether he is qualified for the office
of President.
Luke Conneally—“No. He’d better
stay home and make autos.“
Edward_ McMahon—“Tho country
needs Fords, ,not Ford."
L. Golden—"If the country wants
to be disgraced. let him be nominat-
ed."
W711. Dawson. Jr.——“He's a. success—
ful business man. he ought. to make a.
good President '
Joseph L , otter—"It doesn't nec-
essarily follow that a good business
man will mnke a. good President. but
I haven’t given the subject: careful
enough consideration."
Judge Candee—“A good car for the
money."

Can’t See Automobile Man as Head of
N gluon—F. Aiken for Henry.
President. he would be a. joke. Hts
peace ship showed what kind of a.
diplomat he is.
“'illiam Miller—“He is a joke."
Dr. C. F. Boutwell; He's all right to
manufacture s. rattler, but nothing
else.
Freeman Light: Automobiles ro-
Quire self-starters. but candidates for
presidents should get along without
them.
JP“. mt: Josh Billings on“
said, "The least brains a man has for a.
business career. the better on he is. if
they're the right kind." I presume
everyone is willin gto admit that Mr.
Ford has the right kind of brains for
business. but he hasn’t the brains or
the experience for a. succeufulmmer.
especially for the great office of Presi-
dent. of the United States.
Mr. Clark of Rogers as Stevens: He's
a fine man for his job.
E. R. Snell: Harding would be I.
better man for president.
H. J. Bracken: He had better con-
tinue making t‘iivvers.
Clifford “'ard: If he‘d make as
good a. president as in did a car. he’d
be all right.
Conrad P. Frey. He is a. practical
business man but he ha‘sn‘t got the
qualifications for a politicians. In
politics. he'd be a. failure.
Harold \"llson: As a president he'd
be a mighty good mechanic.
Fred Lyon: I'm in favor of nothing
but the Republican ticket. .
F. J. Smith: He belongs where he
is now. . '
Algy Searies: How many millions
Henry Ford ever given away?
S Everette: A. good joke. its done
to advertise Ford cars. lie could
never be president. and he knows it.
J. L. Tyler: He has never had any
political experience. and I don’t think
he has sufficient education for the
office.
Bernard Mondrer: He'd make a
good president from a. business ad-
ministration's point of view. but I
wouldn't vote for him. because it.
would give him too much power for
one individual.
Mr. Gray (of Gray & Gray) : Mr.
Ford is a. man of a good deal of forc-
sight. He understood the wants of
the public in the way of an auto.
He was a poor man himself and he
madc an inexpensive car. That. is
the height of his ability. He Just hap-
pened to be successful. He didn't or-
iginate or organize the factory at the
beginning. He hasn't the executive
ability to be President.
Judge Keogh: He's a. clever busi-
ness man and a. wonderful mechanic.
but; there are other qualifications nec-
essary in a. President. which Ford
does not have. .
What. do you think of Ford for
President? Send in your ideas to the
Editor.
