The foundry of the Singer Mfg. Co.,which has been in operation since thebeginning of the manufacture ofWheeler & Wilson sewing machines,closed its doors for the last time,Saturday night. The 80 men employ-ed in the plant celebrated the wind-ing up of the department with fire-works and refreshments.

General Manager George M. Eamesnotified 12 of the oldest employes ofthe shop that places would be foundfor them in the other departments ofthe local factory. He also told theother employes that if they could notsecure jobs in local foundries andthey wanted to go to Elizabethport,N.

FIGHT PIHTU

Sensible Views-imtertain- ed

By City's Chief Execu--v

tiveSound Public Opinion

Should Guide AuthoritiesWho Have DiscretionaryPower.

When asked if he would permit thepictures of the Johnson-Jeffrie- s fightto be shown in Bridgeport, MayorBuckingham said: ' .

4'In . the state of Iowa the exhibi-tion of such pictures is forbidden by

' ' ' 'statute. ', v"In this state there is no such law.

I presume that the rule Is that thereshould be as little interference as pos-

sible by Jhe authorities with thingsthat are lawful. .. . '

"Yet, undoubtedly. In the matter ofthese' pictures the. authorities havediscretion:- - T.Uis alscretltfn? tfKbnidbeexercised in accordance wifh . sdundpublic opinion, and I believe that itwill be."

Regarding the claim thAt the exhi-bition of the pictures may cause raceriots, Mayor Buckingham said: "Norace riots are to be feared in Bridge-port. Our negro population is sen-

sible and law abiding. They under-stand all that talk about the fightsettling a question of race supremacyfor what it was just advertising.

"Jeffries is not the first white ;an"who has been knocked out by a ntgro,nor is Johnson the last negro whowill be knocked out by a white man.

"Until our negro brethren begin tosurpass us in the invention and per-fection of the modern implements ofwarfare, they will not claim race su-premacy and we will not fear achange in the existing status.

"One able bodied tiger in a 24 footring with Johnson, or Jeffries, wouldfind little difficulty in disposing ofeither in a combat by brute strength.

"But give either man .a x Winches-ter Rifle loaded with a cartridge madeunder the direction of Jerome Orcutt,in the plant of the U. M. C. Co., andthe hide of that tiger will be made

'

into a rug."A prize fight in the show house of

race supremacy is like the first steamengine, a mere display of an , obsoleteform of settling disputes.

"The first engine and the first steamboat are interesting because they showthe beginnings of locomotion and howpoorly the thing used to be done. .

"Band to hand combat with fists isabout as stimulating.

"A fist is a poor thing beside aMaxim machine gun. And I noted,"concluded the mayor, with a smile,"that before the sports were admittedat Reno, they had to leave their gunsoutside." v

Boston, July 6. Denouncing1 prizefighting as brutalizing and the exhi-bition of pictures of the Reno fightas no less so, Mayor iritzgeraia 01Boston, today announced that Bostonwould see nothing of the Jeffries-Johnso- n

battle. The mayor's announce- -znent followed the inception of a gen-

eral crusade against the fight pictureswhich had been begun by Secretary"William Shaw of the Christian Endea-vor Society.

"Prize flgnting in itself," said MayorFitzgerald in explaining his position,"is brutalizing -- and for this reason is

inrntilW'toil n ahmit kvpitt at a ft in tnet, Union.

"In a few months no state in theunion will permit a prize fight. Bos-ton oueht to take the lead in banish- -lng pictures of this sort. Consequent-ly I do not think that the pictures ofthe fight will be given in Boston."

Mr. Shaw has sent out appeals to"President "Taft, Colonel Roosevelt,

Governor Hughes of New York andMayor Gaynor of New York City, urg--

- ing their Influence against the mov-ing picture campaign. Today hewill continue the battle and will sendout to mayors and governors all overthe"' United States, the following tele-gram:

"Race riots and murders already fol-low the announcement of Johnson's"victory. Moving pictures of the prizefight will create more violence. Willyou Join in appeal to authorities, cit-ies and towns, to prohibit pictures aslaw provides?- - Help save our youngpeople from these demoralizing shows.Wire answer. (Signed William Shaw,General Secretary, United Society of

New York, July 6. Led by the Uni-ted Societies of Christian Endeavorwith four million members,' and theInternational Association of PoliceChiefs, a movement is on foot to pre-vent the exhibition,, of the pictures ofthe Jeffries-Johnso-n fight that prom-ises to be international in its scope.

The Christian Endeavor Society,through its Boston authorities, . haswired a lengthy petition to the gover-nort

of every state in the union asking. that pictures be barred on the groundsthat they reproduce an illegal act andthat the moving pictures of the fightwill be Just as Illegal as the actualfight itself.

Secretary William Shaw declared to-day that he had also wired ColonelTheodore Roosevelt and PresidentTaft to use their Influence to preventthe pictures from being exhibited.

The American Vitagraph Company,which owns the films of the fight, isbelieved to have expended a quarterof a million dollars in purchasing theexclusive rights and in taking the pic-tures. Jeffries was paid $66,666 whileJohnson got $50,000. Rickard andGleason got a "cut" and still own one-six- th

of the rights. In addition, themoving picture concern spent a smallfortune perfecting machines for mak-ing Improved pictures, sending a score

other incidental expenses. The pic-ture people expected to take in $1,-000,-

during the first month thefilm were on exhibition. This sumis sure to be reduced materially ifthe agitation against the productionof the pictures continues to spread.

It is feared that the sight of a ne-gro knocking out a white man wouldlead to more of the race feeling thatresulted in Monday night's rioting.Among the larger cities that have putuic.9Lo.uxi oi uisappruvai uii me pii;- -tures are Washington, the nationalcapital, Cincinnati, St. Louis,. and At-lanta.

At the last meeting of the Inter-national Association of Police Chiefsthere was passed a resolution intro-duced by William A. Pinkerton, ofChicago, urging the police to stop allthe moving picture shows that exhibitfilms casting ridicule upon the policeor showing pictures of criminal acts,thus tending to Increase crime.

Moving pictures of prize fights areplaced in this category. Mayor Gay-nor of New York today declared hewould take no action looking towardbarring the pictures.

"New York," he said, 'has not thelarge negro population of other citiesand I am sure that there will be norace feeling engendered here by thepictures."

But what Mayor Gaynor refuses todo Mayor Schwab of Cincinnati hasalready done. "I cannot share the be-lief of those who believe such an ex-hibition has any good effect like in-

creasing interest in physical culture.It would not be consistent to bar theActual Aght and then allow the pic

ture.Mr. Eames said this morning that

the building occupied by the foundrjis going to be utOized for depart-ments that will employ many moremen than the foundry did. He wa3not at liberty to make public thenature of the new departments. Hesaid that the closing of the foundrywas not new, as the company hadbeen six months winding up it3 af-fairs.

The reason for the change is thatthe foundries of the Singer Mfg. Co.at Elizabethport are located at tidewater

and coal and iron ore arebrought there a great deal cheaperthan they can be brought to Bridge-port. The raw materials are un-loaded at the door of the New Jersyplant.

Attorney George P. FaxleyTells Interesting Anecdote

r of Late Chief. Justice

Interesting"" Meeting Be-

tween Young Lawyer andFamous Jurist in Thomp-son's Restaurant.

In speaking of the death of ChiefJustice Fuller, Attorney George P.Farley of this city said, "I was per-sonally acquainted' with Chief Jus-tice Fuller for a number of years andmy remembrances of him are pleasant.I first had the pleasure of meetingMr. Fuller during the early part of1888. At that time as a member ofa Lawyers Club in Chicago I was ap-

pointed as one of a committee to in-vite leading members of the CookCounty bar to be present and addressthe meeting, which was held aboutonce in three months. As a memberof the committee I sought arid secured Mr. Fuller as speaker for one ofour regular meetings in the early partof April.'His fame as an orator was well

"known to the older as well as theyounger members of the Bar, " andwhen the night of meeting came everyseat in our Club room was occupied.Mr. Fuller's subject was "This Repub-lic is Opportunity" and for over anhour he kept his audience spell boundwith his brilliant and graceful diction.

Some days afterwards I happenedto meet Mr. Fuller in Thompson'srestaurant across the street' from hisoffice. - I had finished my meal andwas passing out and in doing so Iwent by the table at which Mr. Fullerwas seated. I was only too glad ofan opportunity to express my grati-tude to the - gentleman 1 who had ac-cepted, my invitation as one of a com-mittee from the club, and , had madesuch a lasting impression.

We had spoken but a" few wordswhen a. telegram was handed, to Mr.Fuller. ' As he broke the envelope 1

felt as if a further stay on "my partwould be an intrusion, and I start-ed to go out.' I.had.no more thanturned my back when I . heard someone calling.- - Mr. Farley and turningaround Mr. Fuller proffered me thetelegram which he had just - openedand read. . Upon taking it from himI was practically beside myself withsurprise .as it read "President Cleve-land" has this day nominated you forChief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Signed, Daniel Lamont,Secretary.

"After reading the dispatch I hand-ed it to Judge Shope then one of themost brilliant Judges occupying aseat on the Supreme Bench of Illi-nois, and who with a number offriends was seated at an adjoining'table. Upon reading the dispatchJudge Shope at once came over to of-fer his congratulations to Mr. Fuller.Returning to Mr. Fuller's table wefound his face buried in his hand-kerchief, and he was shedding tears.Judge Shope was one of those tactfulmen who never allowed his good hu-mor to desert him and taking in thesituation remarked, "O never mindbrother Fuller, If you have any diffi-culty with that job just send for me."Of course this set us all laughing, andMr. Fuller brushing the tears fromhis eyes most gracefully thankedJudge Shope for his offer and re-marked, "We will think of that afterthe Senate takes action." Of coursewe were all very happy and in a fewminutes the news was on all bulletinboards of Chicago, and Mr. Fullerwas overwhelmed with congratula-tions from every source.

No man could occupy that eminentposition with a more lofty purpose andsimple dignity than --did Chief JusticeFuller. For many years after hewent to Washington he was a fre-quent visitor to Chicago which heseemed to cherish more as his homethan any other place in the world-- It

seemed to relieve his mind fromheavier cares to come back to thatcity and meet and shake hands with

There Is in Bethel, the boyhood homeof Barnum, a beautiful fountain,which the great showman once of-

fered to Bridgeport, ori the under-standing that it should be erected at

wcro onlleri emt to nrevent the Jeff--ries-Ruelli- -n fieht several vears aeo.

Mayor Maddox, of Atlanta, Ga., af-ter a conference with Carlos Mason,chairman of the police board, has re-

fused to allow the pictures there. "Wehad a small riot here Monday nightand had not the reserves arrivedquickly the -- riot would have assumedserious proportions. I have refusedaboslutely to allow any pictures shownof the fight," said Mayor Maddox.

Chairman Reynolds of the policeboard of St. Louis announced todaythat he would call a special meetingof the board for tonight and preventthe exhibition of the pictures in thatcity. -

In many southern cities the agita-tion against the fight pictures is In-

creasing due to the fact that a negrowas the victor.

Mayor Reyburn of Philadelphia de-

clines to stop the fight pictures. "Ido not anticipate a riot,' he said. "Wesimply spit on our hands and holdback."

Baltimore is almost sure to bar thepictures. -- The police board commis-sioners has asked Mayor Mahool totake action and the chief executivereplied that such a request from thecommissioners would meet with hishearty approval.

The crusade has extended abroadfor in Johannesburg, South Africa,the vitagraph halls, themselves haveprohibited the pictures. The latestrace feeling in South Africa, it isfeared, would burst into flame, if thepictures were ever shown in thatcountry.

Washington, ' July 6. The commis-sioners of the District of Columbiatoday Issued an order prohibiting theexhibition of moving pictures of theJeff-Johns- on fight within the boun-daries of the district. The action wastaken upon recommendation of Chiefof Police Sylvester. The fear of arepetition of Monday night's race riotswas the chief incentive of the commis-sioners.

Pittsburg, July 6. Jeffries-Johnso- n

fight pictures will be exhibited at thelocal moving picture shows here unlessit is found they incite riot and alsoencourage crime, according to Direc-tor of Public Safety Morin and Chiefof Police McQuaid here today.

WEEKS WILL NOT ACT.Middletown, Conn., July . Be-

cause the fight returns were bulle-tined all over Connecticut withoutany serious race riots on Monday, itis not believed today " that GovernorFrank B. Weeks will take any actiontoward prohibiting showing the fightpictures in the state.

"I have not given the matter theslightest thought," , he said ' todaywhen interviewed as he was comingfrom a meeting of the trustees of theConnecticut Hospital for, the Insane."If necessary I will make a 'State-ment later." "

.

NO FIGHT FOR TAUNTON.Taunton,' Mass.,' 'July 6. Mayor

William S. Woods said today that hecertainly would oppose the exhibitionof the fight pictures in Taunton pro-vided that it appeared to him -- to bethe wishes of the citizens. He be-lieved that the race issue, alreadyaroused would be intensified by suchan exhibition and, even laying thispart of the matter aside, he did notbelieve that the pictures could haveother than a bad effect upon theminds of young people and as suchwere not desirable as an exhibition.

NO POWER IN GOVERNOR.Denver, July 6. Following the ac-

tion of several eastern cities in bar-ring exhibitions of the Jeffries-Johnso-n

motion pictures, a movement wasstarted in Denver today to petitionGovernor Shaffroth and the mayorsof every city in Colorado to followsuit. It is doubtful, however, wheth-er the governor has power to act.

NOT BARRED IN CHICAGO.Chicago, July 6. Although protest

has been made to the city officialsagainst the Jeffries-Johnso- n fight pic-tures, there is little likelihood of theirbeing barred from Chicago. MayorBusse and Chief of Police Stewardtoday said they could see no reasonfor discriminating against the Jeff-Johns- on

pictures.
