Tells .of Other Attempts Clifford Mills, of Westport. motor- man of the Norwalk-Bridgeport trolley under"which Fred Meyer, 45 years old. of 537 Howard avenue. Bridgeport. threw himself in a. fit of despondency last night. was granted a continuance until Monday when arraigned in Town court yesterday morning under a technical charge of manslaughter. A bond of $500 for Mill’s release pending the finding of the coroner was posted by Henry E. lDowns. local manager of the Con- necticut company. Police investigation has elicited .information from witnesses that Meyer before throwing himself uno der the wheels of the trolley; had made two unsuccessful efforts at self-destruction by attempting to be run over by passing motorists. Alert- ness of the operators at the wheel is said to have frustrated his plans. Through receipts found in the man's pockets. Patrolman Harvey Allen obtained the identity of the man. who had been boarding at the Howard avenue address with Mrs. William Formnn. Mrs. Forman could give no reason for Meyer's act. Meyer was a well-known figure in; Bridgeport, where he had been a. newsdealer. but of late years was a fruit and vegetable pcddler. I I I Complaint made by the school committee of the failure of Sam Salerno and Naples De Flo. both residents of Saugatuck. to send their children to school. resulted in their arraignment in Town court yesterday morning.

The same on planatlon was offered by DeFio, although it was brought out that Dc Flo and his eldest son had not been working of late. and could have at- tended to the wants of the mother of the household.

Westport Couple Married 50 Years WESTPORT. April 18.-—-Mr. and Mrs. Joseph G. Hyatt celebrated their golden wedding anniversary Monday at their home on \Voodside avenue. During the day they were hosts to many visitors who ottercc congratulations. Mr. and Mrs..Hyatt were marries on April 1‘. 1874 in Wilton by th. late Rev. Mr. Merwin. Mrs. Hyatt before her' marriage was Mary A Comstock. At that time “Judgi Hyatt was‘ principal of the Whitleei academy at Wilton, but later re turned to Westport to teach in the local schools, which he did for eighteen years. During his teach- admitted to th'e Connecticut bar. Under President Harrison's adminis- tration. Mr. Hyatt was appointed postmaster of Westport. a post he occupied for five years. For thirteen years he was town clerk, and almost all of that time was also tax collector. Previous he was local trial justice for a num- ber of years. During the war Judge Hyatt was chairman of the woman-mum- home on" Bridgeport Manufac- turers Told of Army Costly Delays BRIDGEPORT. April 18 .-—‘.De. tails of an elaborate plan prepared by the Ordinance department of the United States army for industrial preparedness for war in time of peace in order to obviate the costly delays experienced in equipping troops in the past war. were thor- oughly explained by Col. B. A. Franklin of Springfield. Mass, at a meeting of manufacturers Bridgeport and the vicinity last night in the Brooklawn Codn'try club. The plan, as explained by Col. Franklin. provides for a complete survey of all industrial plants -of the country with a view to determ- ining just what type of munitions each plant can manufacture... the quantity that the particular plant can produce and the time necessary for the production of sufficient equipment to supply an army of 5.- 000.000 men. In presenting the plan, Franklin called attention to costly mistakes experienced in thr- past war. mistakes that resulted not only in a loss of tremendous sums of money but in the loss at many human lives. Over 11,000,000 hand grenades were manufactured before officials of the government found that they had been designed incor- rertly as a. result of no one taking into consldcrntion the fact that American soldiers were accustomed to playing baseball and used an ac- cordingly dilferent style of hurling. The country had two or three years' warning befrflo the last war but entered it as greatly unprepared as it possibly coun be, Col. Frank- lin said. a condition that would never exist again if the plans now being prepared are carried to completion. for the country learned a lesson that proved too costly to be repeated. Many of the mistakes of the last war were due to the ambition of army officials to provide the Ameri- can soldiers with weapons superior to any then in use, Col. Franklin explained. In the future this policy will be discarded and equipment will be confined to that used in the Col. lng days he studied laW'and was ‘ to the formation of the town court, , and Comet-gencyboerdottheunie W exemption board, No. 13. which in- cluded all of the 26th Senatorial dis? trlct of nine towns. ’ Mr. Hyatt is still holding forth at the tax collec- tor' s oince, in addition to conducting an insurance business which he be- gan building many years ago. Mr. Hyatt iswell known in fra- ternal as well as political and mm. ness circles. being 11. 32nd degree Mason; a member of Our Brothers? Lodge. 1.0. 0. F. and the Knights of Pythias.

Before any new weapons are adopted they will have to go through test and machinery installed or planned so that the production of pieces can ‘be immediately started. This plan does not mean that no new equip- ment will be adopted by the army for the opposite is the case. Vol. Franklin said, pointing out that experiments conducted in the past year have resulted in almost doub- ling the range of the 75 millimeter gun. The first question taken up by the committee in charge of the indus- trial preparedness plan was just how we could practically prepare ...._p---— :11. for war and resulted in the country being divided into 14 districts, one of which is Bridgeport. Col. Frank- lin said. Inch district has a chief is always an army officer. The organimtion is composed of reserve officers. the peLsonnel of the Bridgeport distxict consisting of 146 men, of whom 40 or 5'0 have al— ready enrolled. 'l Ili.‘ work is carried out exactly as if the country had already entered a war. Col. Frank- lin said_ explaining the great sav- ing in money as well as men that could Iw effected by shortening the time required to place an army in the field. The actual monetary cost of maintaining this organmafion for the Bridgeport district does not amount to lnilCh over $6,000 11. your. (‘01. Franklin said, explaining that all of the personnel. with the exception of the executive assistant and a secre— tary, are one iollnr a year men and they do not even get this dollar.
