THE FIRE AND TR0LLEYS
Transfers Issued from One Side of the
 Fire Lines to the other.

The results of the fire to the trolley service on Chapel street was necessar- fly bad With scores of fire hose stretched across the street as well as the fire lines established by cordons of police with ropes. At least four or the cars were caught In between the lines of hose in such position thai they could not be moved either one way or the other until late in the eve ming.
 Superintendent Judge and his right
 hand aids were on the scene almost
 with the fire apparatus. Under his
 direction the best sort of service that
 could be established under the CIT
 cumstances was put into effect The
 nearest switch to the west was one
 at Norton street; the nearest switcn to
 the east from the fire was that just
 off York street. This being the case
 the only thing to do was to run shut
 tie cars from the scene of the fire in
 both directions as far as these sWltcn- | es. From the hospital to York street the Branford cars and one Waterbury ana lJeIDN car Mnltll Nep N"No''N N l the time of the fire when at the east , of the hospital took the north track The regular Norton street and Steam | boat cars took the south track The l cars were run in both directions sue l cessively on these tracks. At tht 7 scene of the fire the passengers 1T : them were given transfers to the car' , beyond the fire. The hospital wa } made a temporary transfer station. It is safe to say, however, that there
 were very few people who did not re main at the fro regardless of any din
 ners that might be getting cold a. home during the hour from to d clock. Every car that came but swell

 looked on as the firemen and the hun l dreds of volunteer helpers did all tha , humans could under the circumstan . ces Ii was next to impossible To f those who wanted to continue thei ] journeys to get through anyway.

DENIES THAT BRYAN
COULD DO NO HARM.

Congressman Burke Says Office of
President Is Infinitely More Pow
erful Than Congress.
Congressman James Francis Burke,
Of Pittsburg, in an address on The
Powers Of the President says:
The American people can make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr..
Bryan on the assumption that he can
do no harm In the face Of an adverse
Senate. AS between the executive and
legislative departments of the govern
ment. the former has infinitely greater
power to rule and ruin than the lat
ter.
'Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
different types Of men. Each pos
sesses strong individual character,
which would certainly assert itself in
the White House. What either Of
these men would do during four
years term In the White House !s
causing as much anxiety among
thoughtful Americans as the mere
matter OF election alone.
AS disturber Of moneys the Pres
ident is without a rival in the world.
Through the agencies under his con-
troll he will this year disburse billion
dollars, showing the great things we
are doing In adding to the unparalleled
list Of the worlds achievements.
I'm view OF the fact that during
the fifteen years OF Bryan leadership
the States controlled by his party have
decreased from 28 to II, the number
Of Senators from 4s 10 81, the number
Of Representatives in Congress from
no to io4. and In that time the Demo
cratic party was In control Of the
ground, whereas 1t Is now, az conse-
auence Of his teachings, a hopelessly
heterogeneous mass Of Populistic ele-
ments, the American people can see
little prospects OF a constructive policy

A Consistent Christian with No Spot
Upon His Record Of Private Con-
duct and Public Service.
To dispose Of questions which should
not be asked as speedily as possible let
us say that Mr.. Taft is member Of
the Unitarian church. That was the
church of his parents, and he has never
separated himself from 1t. His wife
however, 10 an Episcopalian, and he
worships more often beside her In her
church.
These are the facts, which are utter
" and absolutely unimportant. The
matter Of a mans religion has no right
full place Ia consideration Of his fitness
for the presidency. The constitution
Of the nation, ordained and estn blished
ito secure the blessings Of liberty to
ourselves and cur postsrity." expressly
places the very suggestion Of such
thought outside the pale Of patriotism.
No words can be clearer than these
from eur eountry's fundamental law,
"No religious test ever shall be re-
qulred az qualification to any Office
Or public trust under the United
States"
The numerous queries about Mr..
Taft's religious belief shows simply the
extent to which his enemies have gone
10 rouse some prejudice against him.
Since there was no spot upon his whole
ciean record OF private conduct and
public service to which they could
point to Taft's detriment they display
ID their willingness to descend to any
depth Of petty. cowardly, contemplate
attack that might do him HARM
