ARMY NOMINATIONS HELD UP.
Complaints That Great Injustice Has
Been Done,
overheated

Washington, Dec. 2S-The Senate
committee on military affairs has held
up, pending an investigation, all of the
army nominations sent in before the
recess, below the grade of major. The
members of the committee have receiv-
ed numerous complaints about the
method of selection of officers under
the reorganization law. It is claimed
great injustice has been done officers
who have served quite long time.
Complaint has been made that men
were selected from those who formerly
served as volunteers to fill original va
cancies and that they became captains
as soon as they were appointed. 9th
ers appointed, it is claimed waited
from four to seven months before ac-
ceptance of their commissions, which
date from the time the appointment
was made, their rank being determined
by the date of their commissions. This
gives them many numbers above West
Point graduates, and others appointed
from the volunteers who at once en-
tered the service and did much hard
work while the men who delayed ac-
ceptance were enjoying themselves or
attending to business interests.

A FIRE In WEST HAVEN.
DESTROYS BUILDING OF A. J.
THOMPSON, THE FLORIST

Blaze Discovered Shortly After Three
O'Clock This Morning-The Structure
Burned Contained the Boilers Used
for Heating the Greenhouses-One of
the Latter Caught Fire.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
fire broke out in a frame building in
the rear of the greenhouses of A. ].
Thompson at 757 Campbell avenue, be-
tween Richard and Wharton streets,
in West Haven. Considering the late
ness of the hour the firemen responded
in creditable time but when they arriv-
ed the flames had made great headL
way.
The imfammable material and con-
tents of the building were quickly con-
sumed and the flames reached to
great height, lighting up the
vicinity for over mile around.
The ringing of the bells awakened al
most all the inhabitants of the bor-
ough and many went to the scene
of the fire.
The efforts of the firemen were direct
ed to saving the fine greenhouses and in
this they were successful, but one
catching fire, and this being but slightly
damaged.
The building where the fire started
was completely destroyed. In the base
ment of it was Mr.. Thompson's boiler
room containing two boilers used for
heating the greenhouses and if they are
ruined his loss will be rather heavy al
though just the amount could not be
stated at the Thompson residence at
$3.50 this morning.
In the building Mr. Thompson also
kept all his fine collection of ferns and
he will have some difficulty in replac-
| ing them.
The origin of the fire can only be
guessed at, but it was stated that il
90
might have been due to the soft coal
which it has been necessary to use ow-
ing to the scarcity of anthracite. 1t is
| thought that the woodwork became
overheated.
