WAITING FOR WALKER.
Belief That He Will Be Here Be
 fore April 21.

Hartford, April 2.-State Attor- ney Arthur F. Eggleston did not hear from Superintendent Thomas F.. Egan of the state police yesterday. but he believes that Mir Egan will be here with William F. Walker soon. The March term of the su- perior court had been adjourned about two weeks ago to yesterday, the state attorney believing that Mir Egan would then have Walker back, but yesterday it was further ad- journed to April 21.
 When court has been adjourned from one time to another in the past it has not been regarded as neces- sary to have judge present, the sheriff usually adojurnirE the court to a day designated by the judge. Chief Justice Baldwin of the su- preme court assigned Judge Hamers- ley of the supreme court to preside over the session yesterday and Judge Hamersley ordered Sheriff Dewey to adjourn the court to April 2I. The state attorney believes that Walker will he here before that time. It was said yesterday that it was thought best to have Judge Hamersley present to avoid all pos sihility of technical objection being made by Walker when he is put to trial

HONORs FOR WATERBURY BOYS
Crosby High Graduates Hold Their
 Own in the Colleges.

Out of a recommendation by the state board of education there arose a difference of opinion between the board and Superintendent of Schools Tinker, in which the latter undertook to show that despite the recommendations, the Crosby high school was making is mark in what. ever colleges it's graduates entered. More evidence of the good system in vogue at the Crosby was given to- day in the announcement at Yale college of the great success of four of Crosby's graduates, Howard and Lawrence Phipps. Edward Jones Kilduff, son Of Superintendent of Streets E. c. Kilduff and James Mo Knight, son of James F. Mo Knight. The announcement was to the effect that these young men have won distinction in the honor section of the freshmen class.
 Howard Phipps was yaledictorian in last years class of Crosby grad uates. Prof Judd of Yale, who gave Crosby some of the hardest knocks in the recommendation of the state board of education, must see in the four young men above mentioned some contradiction of his own req sons for attacking the system at Crosby.

DEAD IN FIRE
Teuanis in a House on Heclor Street New York Warned
 By Police To-Day
ALL OUT BUT THREE

New York, April 2.-Three persons were killed, 15 were injured, some of them seriously and the lives of near ly hundred persons were endanger- ed by fire in a five story tenement house at No A Hester street early to- day. The dead are:
 Berel Weinstein, his wife and theil one-year-old son. They were suffo- cated and burned in their apartments on the fifth floor. That more lives were not lost was largely due to the prompt action of three policemen whC seeing the flames in the hall rushed through the building and aroused tho members of sixteen sleeping families. By that time the stairWays were mass of flames and the only means oi exit was by the fire escapes. In their mad attempt to escape from the smoke and flames scores of scantlly clad men, women and children crowd ed the narrow iron platforms and lad ders until they became wedged 1T solid masses on the fire escapes. There they stood helpless, unable to extri- cate themselves from the crush and 1 blocking the way of those who had not yet succeeded in getting out oi 1 the building. This was the situation when the firemen arrived and began to run up ladders to take the panic stricken fugitives from the perilous position in which they had got them selves. The work moved forward very slowly, however, as in some in stances the combined efforts of hall dozen firemen was required to drag woman or child from the tightly packed platforms. In the meantime the flames had been constantly spreading and the terror among many of the helpless ones at windows anc on the fire escapes had passed the point of self restraint. While fire men were calling out to them that help soon would reach them, they be gan one by one to jump from the win dows. David Miller sprang from g fourth story window and sustained injuries which probably will cause hi' death. Rosie Gallmann, Fannie Berzon and Byman Mettlemann, who l jumped from windows on the second and third floors have broken limb! and were taken to hospitals. Severa others were internally injured. Many others who sustained more or les: fserious bruises refused to go to hos TwtaIs.
 Weinstein and his wife and bab, were found lying dead in their homo on the top floor of the burning build ing after the flames had been extin guished. Apparently they had beer overcome by smoke while trying tC reach the blazing stairway. Int building was damaged to the exten of about $2,000.

TO ATTACK ALDRICH BILL.
Chicago Bank Presidents Hold all
 Important Conference.

Chicago, April 2.-A combined at- tack upon the Aldrich currency bill by some of the most powerful finan- cial interests in the country will be the outcome of conference of na- tional bank presidents in Chicago yesterday.
 "Unwarranted," and "crude" were some of the .adjectives applied to parts of the measure as it now stands, and it was unanimously agreed that every effort be made to prevent it's passage by the house of representatives in it's present form.
 New York and St Louis bankers will be called upon to give their aid in combating the measure and with unified action on the part of the financiers of the three cities it is ex- pected that formidable showing against the bill will be made when the house committee on banking and currsiSs beghis.its hearings 9r the proposed law Wednesday.
 The meeting was held in the of. flee of President James B. Forgan of the First National bank and was at. tended by nearly every president Of a national bank in Chicago. Amend. ments tackled on the bill at almost the last minute before it passed the upper house formed the basis fol criticisms of it.
 Without dissenting voice the bankers declared that the following provisions in the measure should be vigorously opposed:
 Increasing the amount of cash re, serves banks must keep in theil vaults.
 Prohibiting banks loaning money to concerns in which their officers ol directors are interested
 President Forgan and President George k. Roberts of the Commer. cial National bank were appointed 6 committee to draft statement ol the bankers objections to the bil and forward copies to both branche, of congress as well as to President Roosevelt.

GIFT OF A TURTLE
NIcarsguan Man Sent inc Presi- dent a Wbopping Big Eel
 low Yesterday.

Washington, April 2.-President Roosevelt has been the recipient of gifts of almost every conceivable de- scription from personal friends and others, but it remained for Nica- raguan to present him with perhaps the most novel gift of all. Yester- day monster sea turtle weighing $50 pounds, a product of lsicaraguan waters, was presented to the presi- dent by Colonel Dietrick of Grand River station, Nicaragua, 6 personal friend of President Zelaya of that republic.
 Colonel Dietrick has just arrived here from his home in Central Amer ica and prior to starting he captured two of the largest turtles ever taken in the waters of Nicaragua
 While on the voyage to this coun- try the largest of the turtles, weigh ing 560 pounds, was washed over board and lost.
 The president was almost embar- I rassingly surprised to receive the gift and it is said spent noarly an hour contemplating the ievianthanic
 proportions and debating as to what
 disposition to make of it. inally
 the splendid specimen of sea food
 was turned over to the white house
 chef and it is surmised that MI
 Roosevelt and his luncheon guests
 of the next several days will have
 served to them delieacy' quite
 unique in the lore of white house
 hospitality.

TIRED OF LIVING
We'll KDOWD Resident Took Tine lure of Ac0nite- Saved. By
 Timely Work of Doctors.

Edwin w. Wightman, promi- nent resident of Simonsville, came near ending his life this morning in his store across the way from the Second Baptist church on Bald win street. He has been somewhat Respondent for some time and his watch upon him, but about 7:30 o'clock this morning while his son was occupied with something else he managed to swallow dose of tinc- ture of aconite. Medical aid was promptly summoned and in the meantime he was forced to swallow large quantities of emetics which nullified the effect of the drug to some extent and kept the patient in fairly good shape until the arrival of Dr Luscomb, Dr Goodrich and Dr Dwyer, who used the stomach pump with good effect and finally got the patient out of danger, although he fought hard against the physicians declaring that he preferred to have the deadly stuff do. it's work.
 MT Wightman has been resident for many years and until recently enjoyed good health. He was em. ployed for a time at the Waterbury Buckle shop and later was on the road as salesman for a wholesale concern. Some time ago he started store and appeared to be doing well. He is a member of the Simons. vile Improvement society and has done much towards building up that organization.
 MT Wightman was resting com. fortably this afternoon and no SC. riOus results are looked for, but il is likely that his family will take steps to guard against a repetition of the sad occurrence of this morn ing

 This Combine.

Washington, April 2.-Speaker Cannon to-day introduced a resolu- tion directing the attorney general and the secretary of commerce and labor to inform the house what steps had been taken by their departments to investigate the action of the Inter, national Paper Co of New York and other corporations, supposed to be en' gagged in an effort to create a monop' oly in print paper. MT Cannon said if the claims of the publishers are true, the manufacturers of paper are subject to a penalty and the trust can be dissolved in the United State! court.

NEW STATION
West Main Street Station Will Be Abandoned By August r.
 Work Being Pushed.

The temporary station at West Main street will be aban- doned the first of August and all em- ployes will move to the new station. That's a fact. But the new station will be a new temporary station built on the "fill' near where the new union station is being erected. The big majority of the residents of this city were of the opinion that the temporary station at West Main street would do service until the first real station that Waterbury ever had will have been constructed. The reason why the West Main street sta tion will have to be torn down and another erected is to give the rail- road chance to compiate their freight houses, and also because by the first of August the West Main street crossing must be abandoned and trestle built. No one will be sorry when that West Main street crossing ceases to exist. But every one hopes that the new trestle will be a trife higher than the trestle on West Main near Manhan street.
 This change will perhaps be the last before the final moving day comes. Because the West Main street station is to be demolished be- fore the first of August is the reason why the Adams Express Co did not move to West Main street when the Bank street corpse was buried. The Adams company was informed it would have to employ the moving man again in few months so it de cided to stay in it's old home. When the next change comes it will build a temporary shack adjoining the temporary station. Two more wagons have been placed in use since the Bank street station was abandoned and these do nothing but carry the freight from tue station to the express house. Consequently the public is receiving just as good service from the express company as when it simply rolled the freight from the Bank street station across the street into it's store room.

DRUG CLERKS ARREsTED.
Health Officer Hoadley Watching
 Sales of POisOns.

New Haven, April 2.--When City Attorney Simpson issued warrants late yesterday afternoon, on which about ten drug clerks employed in some of the leading druggists in the city were arrested, 1t developed that County Health Officer Carleton F. Hoadley had executed what is con fsldered in driig circles as q clever plan to apprehend clerks who through ignorance of the pharmacy law or some other reason, failed to record the sale of poisons to NIT Hoadley's representatives.
 in most of these cases the date oi violation is In January and proprie- tors of stores involved in this clean up were somewhat heated beneath the collar in making comments on the unexpected and unprecedented activity of the county health officer They objected. principally. to tho method by him to secure alleged eyi' dence against the clerks.
 The story goes that in January Mir Hoadley got busy on the phar' macy laws. He employed, it is said a man who gave his name as Howard in one instance at least and Howard who is a private detective went about his business of rounding up drug clerks who neglected to comply with the laws requirements.
 There are five poisons of which under the new law, druggists must record their sales. These are ar. senic. strychnine, prussic acid. eva hide of potassium and corrosive sub Innate. It Is up to the clerk to labe the poisonous purchase and also place a record of the date of sale person to whom it was sold and some other details. These things the clerks arrested last night are said not to have done.
 Another section of the pharmac! law of which the druggists have full knowledge is that relating to thu purchaser. If the latter gives a fic titious name he is liable to fine an' in return for Mir Hoadley's effort some of the druggists have started 1 movement to learn who Mir Howar' the agent of the health officer reall. Is. The maximum penalty that cal be imposed In the clerks cases i s10O. The minimum is s10. All o the clerks arrested last night wer' immediately released on bonds bu will appear in the city court Chi morning.
