Roosevelt Trying to Eliminate Useless
 Matters from Public Business.
 Washington, Nov. 16- President Roosevelt in his instructions to the Commission of which Mir Keep, as- sIstant secretary of the treasury, Is chaIrman. and which was created by the president to ascertain what changes may be necessary to place the conduct of the executive business of the government on the most econo- mical and effective basis. called at tention, among other things, to useless letter writing, urging that it should ha alIminated from the government business. With reference to this par ticular branch of the commissions in- auiry. the president said:
 A resolute effort should be made to secure brevity in correspondence and inc elimination of useless letter writing. There is a type of bureacrat who believes that his entire work and that the entire work of the govern meut should be the collection of pa pers in reference to a case. comment ing with eager minuteness on each snd corrpspondIng with other officials m rpferenee thereto. These people reaIlv care nothing for the case but onIv for the documents in the case.

BURNED RED FIRE.

Local Military Men Gave Colonel
 Geddes a Great Reception.
 The result of the failure of Captain fitzpatrfck to land the majoritg, was quite surprise to his followers in town. He and his men were disap- pointed over the affair and think the blame rests upon the officers of Go A. Who threw Fitzpatrick and gave their votes. which were the deciding ones, to Captain IsbelI Captain Carter makes the claim that his friends were in favor of Isbell so he accord lngly voted that way. The feelings DetWeen the members of Companies A and G have not been the most cor dial of late and the happenings of yes terday are more than likely to widen the breach As one member said. 1t was too bad that the officers yester- day could not agree and at least land either Fitzpatrick or Carter for the position. which because of what one might call jealousy has been given to an officer outside of Waterbury. On the first ballot Fitzpatrick had F. Carter 15, and blank 6. Next vote re- mained the same. A recess was taken Carter and his partners threw their support to Isbell and the final ballot resulted thus: Isbell 20, Fitzpatrick IS. At the station last evening when the officers arrived on the $50 train they were met by the members of the companies, and headed by the American band, marched to the ar mory. Along the line red fire was burned.
 Colonel Geddes in a neat speech thanked the men for the reception which he received and said he would endeavor to fill the office as colonel should. He spoke of t!He record of the Second regiment and said he would try and keep 1t in the place it has stood for several years.
 After the reception at the armory smoker was given by Company A, at which were some of the members of Company G, in honor of Colonel Geddes, in the Jones, Morgan build ing. Old time members of the com pany made speeches, Including Cap tain Goodrich, Colonel Doherty, Frank N. Bronson, w. H. Sandiand, ex-Cap- tain Frank White, ex-Captain Wool worth, Corporal Joseph Callahan ana Colonel Geddes.

 Collector Hunt had big day yes terday, but he didn't get all the water rents, just the same. A great many were disappointed because the old time custom of keeping the office open the last day for settling without pay ing the percentage was not observed.
 Through Attorney Slavin, Simon Condon. son of John H. Condon, has brought suit against Consetta Manic cuccI for SlOO damages. The defend ants dog almost ehewed the right leg off the boy a few days ago. The dog is said to be one of the most vicious on River street.
 The recent trouble that the hackmen of this city have had with their pass enRers vii cause the "cabbies' io be come so careful that soon all persons who care to use hacks will be com pelled to pay their fare In advance.
 It is said hackmen will soon form an agreement to charge S4 for trip ro Calvary cemetery instead of Si. which is now the price. Some years ago s4 was the fee. but the fare was aftp-wari lowered. but soon it will in all probability be raised again. The haekmen claim that tbe drive is a long one and IS well worti, S4. The difficulty which Iobn Mccarthy had with some pass sngers on Sunday Is one of the chief reasons why the fare is being talkei of now.

YALE MEN RESCUED
Prisoners For iz Hours on Small RocE
 Of Bransford.

New Haven, Nov 16.-After spend ing seventeen hours on small rock a mile off Branford, in Long Island Sound, Harold F. Damon of Honolulu, William Baxter, jr, of Wilmington, Del, and w. H. Coursen, of Scranton, Pa, three Yale students, were rescued after. II o'clock last night from their apparently perilous position by Cap tain Edward Baldwin of Brantord, who put out from that place in nap tha launch. The three students seem ed little the worse for their day ex- peTience. ee
 They started from Double Beach at 5 o'clock yesterday morning on a duck shooting trip in two small duck boats. They were about a mile of snore when a wind sprang up and they were compelled to land, as their small boats were nearly swamped. Taunton Rock, a long, flat rock nearby, was the Iicar- est landing place and they made for 1t.
 This rock at high tide is exposed for about fifty feet and Is almost flat, being about six feet at it's highest point. As the day wore on the wind increased and by noon it was blowing at the rate of forty miles an hour and had kicked up sea. The waves which swept the Sound broke over the little island and those from shore saw the perilous position of the three men.
 Last night the wind died down and at 10 o'clock William Stannard put out in a duck boat for the island, but returned soon, saying that he could get no response to his shouts He was eble to get within thirty feet of the rock. About an hour later Captain Baldwin went out with his naptha launch and found the men, safe ana sound. lying under their upturned duck boats. They had prepared 10 spend the night on the rock.

GUILTY OF
 MURDER 
Says Jury in Capo-
 bianCO Case.
Judge Robinson's Charge to Jury To.day-.verdict Was Reached After an Hour and a Quarter.

Promptly at 9:30 o'clock this fore noon the superior court reassembled 10 take up the case of murder in the hrst degree against Ciriaco Capobi- anco for killing Angelo Solomita at the railroad crossing on Bank street about 5:30 on the afternoon of .Iuly 2S. Judge Robinson was to charge the Jury and after the jury panel was called, he began. For an hour and ten minutes he spoke, dwelling particular " on the elements that constitute self defense, which was the piyotaf point in the defense of the accnseJ man. The court room was full to ifs capacity and the court instructed the messenger to permit no one to enter While he was speaking. On that ac count lawyer who was anxious to hear the judges charge was dis appointed. Almost all the attorneys III the city were present At 1O:45 the charge was finished and the jury re- tired.
 The jury reported verdict of gull ty of murder in the first degree exact- ly at noon, after being out an hour and a quarter. Capobianco seemed dazed when Interpreter Mancini told him the juyfs decision. Sheriff Dun ham took possession of the man im- mediately and court was adjourned to Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock when Judge Robinson will pronounce sen tence.
 It is understood that his counsel will file motion for a new trial at that time. This Is usually done in sudh cases.
 The short deliberation of the jury surprised everyone. It was generally supposed that they would be out three or four hours at least The verdict was somewhat surprising also. though it was admitted that Attorney Kellogg delivered an able argument and made cut a case as clear cut as 1t was pos kible to make. Capobianco was the first man ever found gliltN of murder in the courts of Waterbury.
 The next case for consideration in the superior court will be either that against Pasquale Ferino of Derby for theft of large quantity of copper or the cases against Vincenzo Florio and Angelo Massone for assault with in- tent to kill It will all depend upon the accessibility of the witnesses. In either case an interpreter will have to be used as the accused are unable to speak intelligibly in English. The court will resume; Taesdagl morning at 10 o'clock.

Row Among Some or the Leaders at
 the Polls To-day.
 Boston, Nov. 16-The preliminary contest for the nfayoralty of the city of Boston ended to-day when the joint primaries were held. The democratic candidates were Edward J. Donovan and former Congressman John F. FitZ- gerald. while three republicans were in the field, Speaker Louis A. Froth- ingham of the state house of repre- sentatives, former Municipal Judge Henry s. Dewey and State Senator Edward B. Calender. The campaign has been one of exceptional bitter ness and unusual precautions were taken by the authorities to prevent any fraud or disorder today. Under the law the Australian ballot system is used. the ballots being cast fin the various precincts The weather thls forenoon was cloudy and threatening but owing to the intense interest throughout the city a heavy vote was anticipated. While all the candidates expressed decided confidence the out come of the primaries was decidedly in doubt when the polls were opened today.
 During the early forenoon disorder in a precinct of ward II. the home district of Martin M. Lomasney, the democratic leader and chief supporter of Candidate Donovan, resulted in the arrest of Timothy W Crowley. lead CT of the ward delegation for Cc1di- date Fitzgerald. Crowley was taken into custody on the charge of assault with a loaded pistol upon Joseph L0- masney. brother of Martin Lomasney. According to the police Lomasney and Crowley became involved In a dis cussion of the respective candidates In the heat of which. 1t is alleged. Crowley stepped away from Iomas- ney. drew pistol from his pocket and aimed it at Lomasney's breast. Election officers and other men jump ed between the pair and disarmed Crowley. He was immediately ar. rested.
 Tn the first hour of voting at one of the precincts of ward 6 just twice as many ballots were cast as at the state election a week ago and election officers said that they never before had seen such an early rush to the polls. Four other district reports h. ilcated a heavy early voting.

LEFT HER HOME
Sixteen Year Old Chicago Girl Who is Worth
 Several Millions.

Chicago, Nov 16.-The Chronicle to- day says: Although heiress to an es- tate valued at $5,000,OO0, provided with every luxury, and furnished with an ample income, Dorothy Car ter, the lGyear-old daughter of M k. Carter, president of the Second -Sa- tional bank of Colorado Springs, Col, has deserted of her own yolition her temporary home at 1716 Michigan avenue, Chicago. Police of the city and her sister, Miss Mabel Carter, q graduate of a Chicago law school, are searching for her. The disappearance dates from November l, when Miss Carter left her Michigan avenue home ostensibly to visit neighboring drug store to procure stamps for a ietter to her father
 Since that time but one clue has been found by the police to the miss ing girl On November I she visited a pawnshop and sold diamond brooch valued at $150 for $16. Fifteen min u'tes later she gave some money to two children who peered through the windows of the pawnshop. She seem IO UC GAGlUCu dl1I bVlC WI dences of some mental and physical suffering. The neat tailored blue suit she wore when she left home was be- smirched with mud and the picture hat of blue velvet trimmed with a white feather and other adornments had been replaced by a common black fascinator of the cheapest pattern, folded around her head.
 John Ducas, bartender, saw the woman run down the street after the two children, and says man met ner at the next corner east and with her turned south in cross street This man is being sought by the police.
 Miss Mabel Carter is inclined to at tribute her sisters disappearance to the results of an attack of typhoid fever more than three years ago, when the girl suffered mental disturbances. This is her second disappearance within five weeks. She voluntarily re- turned the first time after 24 hours absence

ANOTHER TENEMENT
 HOUSE FIRE IN NEW YORK
Five Persons Met Death in Six Story Building this horning-Fire Started on Ground Floor and SIeep- ing Tenants Above Were Made Prisoners-Some of Them Were Kneeng in Prayer When Fire Came

New York, Nov 16.-At least five persons were burned to death in an Italian tenement house fire at 221 East Seyenty-third street early to-day. The house was six floors high and the sleeping tenants on the five upper floors were made prisoners by flame with the ground floor a roaring fur mace beneath them. Three of those who lost their lives were kneeling in prayer when the fire reached them.
 Within the first hour after the fire was under control the bodies of two women and three men had been taken from the stairways between the sec. ond and third floors The police be- l1eye that the fire was started by an fncendiary. It began in rubbish at the bottom of an air shaft, and spread through grocery store on the ground floor. A policeman who discovered the fife ran into the building, pounding on the hall doors all the way up to the sixth floor to waken the tenants The lire followed him so swiftly that when he reached the top floor he was obliged to send the tenants there out to the fire escapes to save them from suffoca-
 
 escapes were packed with Italians whom the flames had cut off from es- cape by stairways.
 When the fire department arrived with it's ladders nearly everyone on the fire escapes was kneeling in prayer With roasary beads. Adding to the pathos of the scene was the action of the men who stood with their arms full of personal possessions while their wives fought unaided to protect the children from being trampled by the crowd or suffocated by smoke.
 Everyone on the fire escapes was saved by the firemen.
 The first group of dead was found on a stairway near the second floor. On the next stairway above the fire men found the bodies of two women and one man who had evidently knelt together where they died.
 The dead are:
 Gufseppi Randazzo.
 Antonia Lorea.
 Calvatore Tiazza.
 Santa TiazZa
 Antonio Selarde
 The lessee of the house told the DO. liec to-day that the Black Hand so- ciety had recently send him letters de- manding $2OO0 Although the de- mands did not state what the penalty was to be for refusing to pay the money, the police have begun an in- vestigation on the belief that the fire was started by the writer of the let ters.

BErTER OUTLOOK.
The St Petersburg Strike Promises to
 Collapse in a Few Days.

The St Petersburg Strike Promises to
 Collapse in Few Days.
 St Petersburg. Nov. 16-The outlook is much less threatening to-day, the general strike promising to collapse within a few days. The appeal made to the country to join in the move ment met with no response and the dissenslons in the workmen's council is increasing.
 It is now apparent that extremists took the decision to order a general political strike without due prepara- ton in the belief that the whole coun- try would rise at their bidding and continue the revolutionary movement. Having once demonstrated the power of a general strike as weapon with which to terrorlze the government the leaders believed they could invoke 1t at a moments notice but popular sympathy failed to respond and the leaders reluctantly admit that they cannot force last ditch fight but must content themselves with calling the present strike a demonstration" While the organized workmen of St Petersburg obeyed the order to strike many did so grumblingly. Tn the face of the winter and the necessity of providing for their families many of them did not want to stop work. At the so-American rubber works this morning anti-strikers beat of and drove away a strike deputation which came to order the workmen out.
 None of the papers except the 0fil- cial Messenger appeared this morn ing but the printers of each newspaper themselves published fly sheets an- nouncing that the strike was for the purpose of abolishing the state of siege. the death penalty and martial law throughout Poland. It is now established that the. cry set up by tha socialist leaders against the executiof of the Cronstadt mutlneers was pre- mature as their trials have not yet actually begun.
