WAS OWNER TIPPED
Superintendent Beach Said 10 Be
 Closely Watched on Sunday.

h an effort to get evidence against a wholesale liquor house on Jackson street which the police think Is vio- lating the liquor law on Sunday, Su- perintendent of Police George M. Beach spent considerable time yester- day In factory in that vicinity. His efforts may have been unsuccessful, as the superintendent was seen to enter the factory by one of the liquor mans friends, who immediately tum- bled, since he knew that MT Beach had been in Brooklyn the preceding Sunday on the lookout to know whether the law was being violated. It Is said that the superintendent has received couple of written conn plaints against the place in question and for the past couple of Sundays had an eye out to see what was doing.
 A week ago yesterday he was nos ticed walking along the car tracks in the vicinity of the liquor house. but when he arrived at the place of business he did not witness any vio- lation of the law.
 Yesterday as the superintendent entered the factory he was spotted by fellow who knew that the police were endeavoring to get evidence against the place. As he Is friend of the proprietor he soon was busy informing him to go easy as there was something in the air. Shortly after he entered the factory the su- perintendent could be seen. so it is rumored, from the bottling house. but he did not perceive anything that was not according to law.

GUERlvSEY'SP. FIGHT
Friends See No Reason Why Ne
 Should Be Removed.

There is some smart work being done just now among republicans re- garding few berths which will soon be passed around. The biggest one is over the postmastership. It is said today that the present incumbent, Mir Guernsey Is down and out and that the man who Is after his job, MT Filling, Is sure of the plum. But this is doubted In certain quarters and some very good citizens will not believe It until the merry war is ov- CT. It appears that the worst thing the opponents of Mir Guernsey find to explain away Is bound up in a bundle of reports at Washington. The pile contains reports made to head quarters from time to time during Guernsey's administration which are very creditable and the idea of re- moving competent man to make room for somebody who is supposed to have more friends is something which many think President Koose- welt will not stand for. But those who reckon that way forget that no man however great is above doing what the party management dictates and 1t Is doubtful if the president can afford to ignore the machine. It is said that the intentions at the outset was to give the p0stotfice to Mir Kel- sey, although it is claimed that he was not seeking 1t, but Mr Lilley is credited with leaning to the opinion that he ought to have 1t, but when 1t became known that Mir Guernsey was to be side-tracked, others took hand in 1t and swore that if 1t went to Kel- sey there would be trouble. Then the app0intive power put it up to the leaders of the local machine to name their choice and they were unanimous in favor of J. H. Filling.
 The republicans are worried over the outcome of the fight, as they think MT Guernsey and his friends who seem to be strong in the first ward will unite with the democrats and elect a democratic alderman in that ward if MT Filling should win out.
 The democrats will have an excel lent chance to win out if special election is held and there is reason for the republicans to worry.
 From what could be inferred from statements of Congressman Lilley on Saturday evening he is confident James H. Filling will be the next postmaster of Waterbury.
 MT Guernsey's friends claim that President Roosevelt will not remove a postmaster against whom there are no charges and that Congressman Sperry is doing much work for the present postmaster.

RAISING SALARIES.
Will Senate Turn Down Increase
 Voted by the House?

Washington, Jan 21.-So much has been said about the cowardice of the house in dealing with the issue or public salaries that it is really a pleasure to note now that by a de- cisive vote it has fixed the salaries of members of congress in either end Of the capitol at $7,5OO a year, in creased the salary of the vice presi- dent of the United States to $15,O00, and the salaries of members of the cabinet to $12,0O0. Of course this change in the appropriation bill must go into conference committee and the senate conferees may turn it down.
 Politicians usually being cowardly, even the men who voted in favor of this measure are trembling little. Most of the democrats voted against It. unwfsely in the opinion of men who know Washington and its life.
 It may be admitted that $5,OO0 a year is to 90 per cent of the people of the United States big income. Only the other day official statistics were given out at Washington show ing the average income of the people of the United States to be somewhat under $750 year, while among agriculture laborers 1t was under $4OO a year. Perhaps members of congress who look for election to in receipt of incomes of this character have some right to feel that in rais- ing their own salaries above the $5,000 year now paid them they are likely to endanger their political support.
 But the fact of the matter is that congressman or senator has to live reasonably well, he must enter tain his constituents who come to town. must travel good deal and now the congressional pass is abso- lutely gone. He cannot live in Wash ington on one hundred dollars a week. He looks up at the Press gal lery on a busy day and sees dozen men who have no social or political responsibilities earning twice what he gets. That is not pleasant. But what is more unpleasant he can walk down the great middle corridor of the capitol, and if he be man of in fiuence. be stopped by half dozen people who will explain to him how he can multiply his congressional salary by three or four.
 If the increased salary goes through, every American citizen can feel that he is giving to his repre- sentative in congress only the pay which is necessary to maintain him properly. It should not be said, though it will be, that this pay helps it's recipient to stand out against the the temptations of the lobby.
 As matter of fact while those temptations are constant. the great mass of members of the house and senate are individually proof against them, however, poor they may be. Indeed investigation would show that the rich senators and the rich repre- sentatives are the ones most readily approached by the lobbyists. Per haps that Is why they are rich.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL.

The Crosby High school basketball team has not received the best of support this season, consequently the team is likely to disband if the game with Naugatuck High at the Y. NJ. C. A. on Wednesday evening does not pan out we'll. The past few seasons basketball at the high school has been rather popular and the teams, which have been fast, have been we'll supported. This season the players, although light. work hard and al- though they have met with a few defeats they have done we'll, every thing considered. The students should turn out in large numbers on We'd nesday evening and make the Rub- bertown players know there Is plenty of enthusiasm still left in Crosby High.

DEATHS FROM STORM.
1l.Years.0ld Girl Drowned and .
 Woman Killed.

Buffalo, N. Y, Jan 21.-So far as can be learned early to-day only two deaths have been reported as direct result of the storm. These occurred at Dunkirk, where an 11-years-old girl was drowned and Mrs Henrietta Sold wick was killed by flying debris from . demolished ice house.
 In Buffalo 1t Is estimated that the storm caused from $1,500,O00. to $2,O0O,O00 damage. At Niagara Falls damage to the amount of $25,- 900 was done to the great gorge rail- road, while in the heart of the city buildings valued at about $25,000 were completely demolished. From every city and town along the lake front reports of great damage are re- ceived. Inland towns also suffered considerably.
 The storm lasted almost twenty four hours, during which time the velocity of the wind varied from AZ to S5 miles an hour. The greatest losses will be those sustained by ma rine interests.
 Of the twenty-three vessels an- chored under the lee of the breakwa- ter near the harbor entrance, five took the beach at the foot of Michi- gan street in yesterdays gale. The boats ashore are:
 Hurlburt w. Smith, William Not tingham. J. Q. Riddle. Monroe c. Smith, A. G. Brewer.
 All these vessels are modern freighters of an average valuation of $350.000. As most of them are still laden with grain their total valua- tion is not far from 312,000,000.
 The Hurlburt w. Smith and the Nottingham, both high and dry on the beach, will give the wreckers a difficult job.
 The Monroe c. Smith and the A. G. Brewer, valued at $275,000 each, are on sandy bottom. about five feet out. They are loaded with grain.
 The Riddle. 450 feet long, is aground with her stern just south of Michigan street. She is worth about $400.O00. She was light. and for that reason probably suffered very much.
 The other vessels were better shell tered when the gale was at its worst, but dragged their anchors and tossed and swung to and fro for hours.
 Captain J. J. H. Brown estimates the loss to shipping in the port at Q.500.000. He would not me sdr- prised, he added, if 1t should prove to be fully $2.000,000. That does not include the damage to the breakwa- ter, an estimate of which can only be made by an engineer after the storm has abated.

Popular Fgaternlty and lnsurAnce
 Man for Deputy Sheriff.
 So far James A. Hynes appears to be the favorite in the race for the deputy sheriff position, and If he gets 1t nobody will grudge 1t to him. He is very competent man and has Ia knowledge of that class of work which would come in handy. not only for himself. but also for the high sheriff. There will be two in Water bury and the trouble seems to be in getting together on the second man. MT Hynes has been a lifelong demo- crat, and has stuck to his party through all its ups and downs. He will make competent man for the place and Sheriff Hugo can be sure of an able assistant if he places him in the position in Waterbury.

Matthew Lynch died last evening at the Waterbury hospital. He had been troubled for years with a can cer on the side of his head. and a few weeks ago he fell on the ice and fractured his hip. and this. added to his other ailment. was more than his weakened condition was able to withstand. He is survived by his widow. For many years he was prominent in the business affairs of Waterbury as butcher, part owner of the trotting park and liveryman. Tn the time when sleighing parties were more common than they now are. no social function of that sort was fully equipped unless Matt Lynch had something to do with it and many who have long since got beyond the stage when sleighride on a bitter cold night to some neiehboring town would suit them can look back to the time when they enjoyed trips to Beth any. Ansonia. Cheshire. Meriden and other places with Liveryman Lynch as chaperon. He was a cheerful, good natured man and had many friends. The funeral will take place from 51 Spring street to the Immacu- late Conception church tomorrow morning at s:30 o'clock.
