 buildings. The Campbell avenue car barns, which are of wood and in the rear adjoin the parish house, appeared especially in danger. and all the cars stored there were run out into Camp bell avenue. The house of Dr. Bar nett, which is also very close to the parish house site, was in danger for a time, and the automobile house in the yard was especially in the fire line, The doctor ran his auto out of the shed and allowed it to stand outside until after the fire had been subdued
 The fire before it was finally ex- tinguished destroyed the parish house completely and did some damage to the woodwork of the passage way leading to the new church. The par ish house contained two floors and was used for Sunday school house, for the social entertainments of the parish, as a Sunday school library and as the robing room for the choir. Two pianos in the building were entirely wrecked. The library of the Sunday school was destroyed with about 400 books in it and some of the vest ments of the choir were damaged. The building had been removed from It's former site to this new situation near the new church in connection with the work on the new building in order to connect the two and at the same time many alterations were made on the interior of the structure. The building is about seventy feet in depth. It was erected about twelve years ago. The loss will probably be about $5,000. It is said that there is insurance of s25OO on tYe parish house.
 During the progress of the fire the roof collapsed, and the chimney, which remained standing, was lean- | ing in a dangerous fashion A chain was attached to the chimney and 1t was pulled down by the firemen. It fell in the rear yard of pr. Barnett, and in it's fall it crushed corner of the automobile house in the yard. Saturday night the parish house was III use uIllll d leFS HULL anu lt was stated last night that when 1t was cleared up preparatory to closing | ing up it appeared to be all right. There was no fire in the building, the furnaces not having been started up, yet. A heavy rain was falling at the time of the fire, which helped some to render the many burning brands that floated quite a distance away harm less. The new church is of stone with a slate roof and so was well pro- tected from the flames, although the parish house is but a few feet from the church building Some water got Into the church in the efforts to save it, and found a level on the concrete flooring under the organ but did no damage.
 The fire did not damage the old church structure, the oldest in Con necticut, at all.

 be impossible for him to enter the joint debate he had or would answer all the questions asked in the letter of the so- cieties in his addresses at the ward meetings. On the matter of sanitation he expressed a desire to accomplish all that was possible in the line of in- provement which he would be glad to bring about.
 He expressed himself as in favor of better arrangements for the collection of the clty's garbage and or it's handl- ing. On the matter of the city beauti- full his response was "Who would not favor city beautiful?" On all the is- sues of the campaign he said he ex- pected and intended to make clear his stand at the meetings of the week so that the citizens of New Haven will be able to see clearly where he stands so that he feels the purpose of the meet ing will be accomplished though it will not be possible to comply with the request of the societies for the joint meeting.
 MT. Chatfeld also expressed the feeling that 1t would rbt be possible to arrange for the requested debate on account of his engagements which will occupy his time, he says from now until election. On the subject of "The City Beautiful" he also express ed his stand very definitely by the statement that he is one of the sub scribers for the fund which is being raised to advance it.
 Referring to the matter of the school teachers salaries which was placed before him in the letter from the league last week he said that he was preparing a letter in reply which will probably be in the hands of the officers of the league to-day ready to be read at the league meeting to be held this afternoon. He declined to state his stand in the matter last night confining his expression. to the letter which he is sending. He did declare, however, that he stood for all that was progressive.
 He again took up the matter of the sanitation of the city which he con sidered one of the most important matters. He said the health of the city was a very important considera- ton as persons with good health as an asset can usually meet all other problems with success. The person with health stands teD chances to one for success. In this connection he took up the matter of the contagious disease hospital, which has been brought before his attention. He said he did not consider this an opportune time to discuss that subject although on health of the city it seemed to him would fully explain the stand he would take on the hospital matter. Furthermore he declared he would rather do more after election, in the event of his choice, than was expected of him than arouse high expectations and fall short of their fulfilment, so he did not wish to make promises as to what he would do upon election. All facilities should be provided for, " said he, flor taking care of contagious diseases and with the establishment of perfect sanitation this problem of the city will find it's solution all right"

CHATFIELD' SANSWER TODAY |
ON TEACHERS INCREASE
Martin Has Already Come Out in Favor of More
 Pay.

Affirming that with the salaries in force at present it is impossible to more than barely live, to say nothing of any opportunity for self-improve- ment, the school teachers league of New Haven, in an open letter to the respective candidates in the mayoralty campaign ask What will you do about it?''
 The committees letter declares that "the teacher who can amalgamate all the diverse elements of population, found in New Haven schools, and can send out from the school room children imbued with a deep sense of the res- possibilities of citizenship, with high moral standard, and with an intelligent understanding of their duties as mem bers of great society, is an import ant factor in the life and growth of the city"
 In reply to the letter, MT. Martin, dem oeratic candidate, says: T yield to no man in my interest in and support of the public school system of New Ha- ven, and have long realized that the most underpaid body of our public ser- wants are the school teachers, on whom the excellence of that system so large ly depends.
 Tn my judgment the schedule, sub mitted by your league to the board of education, contains no more than a reasonable provision for our teachers, and I believe it has the approval of a large majority of the taxpayers and citizens, among whom unhesitatingly class myself as one"
 To-day at 4:8o p. nl., meeting of the Teachers league will be held in the High school auditorium where it is expected the reply of the republican candidate, Mir. Chatfield, will be read.

new. He pointed out its alleged H. lusions by many arguments.
 The Christian church has enrolled in the past and enrolls to-day in her devout membership many of the most illustrious names in the history of science. It is plain from our review of Mrs Eddy's warfare against real science why no real scientist could ever be numbered in the cult called Christian Science" It Is a situation which should give pause even to un- trained minds imposed upon by Mrs. Eddy's oracular claims and spacious phrases
 Next Sunday evening I shall show the truth in idealism which Mrs Eddy has so travestied and by her misun- derstanding of which she has found it possible to write such astounding va garies as we have reviewed tonight. Then a little later we shall consider and earnestly advocate all the healing and spiritual values attaching to Christian optimism, freed from the false Hindu speculations which Mrs. Eddy mistakenly adopted.

NO SEARCH FOR BODY
Yacht Club Members Could Not Ven-

Because of the raging storm which covered the Sound with white caps in and outside the breakwaters, the mem- bers of the New Haven Yacht club who were going down to Branford yes- terday in c. R. Warehouses big power boat to drag for the body of Benjamin Prescott, the young man who was drowned last week, the members of the club decided that the attempt would be futile and so postponed the trip at least for the present.
 The harbor yesterday was rougher than at any time during the whole summer and the work of dragging for the body which would have been diff cult at any time, would have been al- most impossible. No small boat could safely venture out.

CAR JUMPS TRACK
Spread Rails Bring the Hoodoo Again
 Into Trouble.

That Jonah car No. 15O of the Con- necticut company, known on the line as the "Hoodoo" from the number of accidents in which it has participated, left the rails last night about 6:S0 near the Savin Rock loop. But for the fact that the motorman was run ming at a slow rate of speed the acci- dent would without doubt have re- suited much more seriously. As it was traffic on the Woodmont line was delayed for over half an hour. The car was coming from Cox's and jump ed the track, where sthe rails had spread, just before reaching the Savin Rock loop, so that schedules on this line were not interrupted

sent to the supervising steamboat in spector..
 The laws do not put the owners in their employees hands, however, for many obligations are placed on the men. Among these Is the rule of licensed of hoers can only quit vessel when she Is properly docked in a home port. This makes a hard proposition about calling a strike on particular day, be- cause, even at the most favorable time, a majority of vessels would be under way or in some other port than the one of registry.
 The steamboat strike has been brew ing for a long time in 1908 the engln- eers tried to start one; six months ago the mates made an attempt. Neither of these affairs tied up shipping, but they did give wages quite an advance, low ever, they were so quickly settled that no precedents regarding legality were obtained.
 The Masters, Mates andPilots' associ- ation supports an excellent legal branch and they gave the following Instruction to the mates last spring
 Make demands and resign If they are not granted Do this so the owners shall have at least two weeks notice before resignation takes effect on the day set for the strike.
 The idea of these instructions was to avoid all legal tangles, but the leaving in @ home port was very hard mat ter to bring about. The grounds taken were that any regular shipping point was a home port. The mates of the Merchants and Marine line quit at Providence for test, but the scheme failed because the line granted the de- mands next morning. So the main legal question Is still open.
 At the two previous strikes the ship owners had no trouble in having plen- ty of strike breakers on hand, Men who had quit the sea for easier and more profitable callings seemed willing to return when there was chance to get officers iobs.
