LOCAL BAR COMMITTEE.
Attorney Byrne Would Invest Il
 With Power Right Of.

It seems that Attorney M. J. Byrne is after some brother lawyers scalp. At bar meeting this morning he moved that, apart from the county grievance committee of the bar there ought to be a local body with power to investigate complaints, for often times matter comes up that is not worthy of the attention of the county bar grievance committee and yet would merit investigation by local committee. MT Byrne moved that the president of the bar appoint a committee of three for this purpose, and the motion was seconded by At torney Russell. President ONeill remarked that this was very i'm portant matter and a good idea, so important, in fact, that it should not be disposed of off hand, and merited a great deal of consideration. He thought it advisable to let it go over a week or so.
 Attorney Reeves moved that it be tabled, and his idea, though not ex- pressed, seemed to be to table it in- definitely. But Attorney Byrne was on the alert and asked how long MT Reeves wished to have it tabled. While he seemed to be considering the matter someone said "a week and so it was put over for week.

FlREMEN IN DANGER
Overcome By Gas in Grand
 Street Fire This Morning.

Henry H. Heitman, captain or chemical engine No |, of Leaven- worth street, and John Moore, cap tain of hook and ladder No of Bur ton street, were almost asphyxiated while fighting a fire about l o'clock this morning in the United States ho- tel at AS Grand street. The ire Ill the cellar burned off the gas connec. tions. and such a large quantity or gas flowed into the cellar that IL with the smoke, almost smothered the two captains. They were carfled from the cellar in an unconscious condition but to-day both are feellng we'll, although they are somewhat s.dopey" as yet.
 The cellar was filled with smoke when the firemen arrived. The ire had burned off the stop cI ks Of the Gas pipes before the men had start ed to fight the blaze, but neither < Captain Heitman nor Captain Moore was aware of the fact. Heitman, as usual. was one of the first in the eel lar and was closely followed 'py Moore. Through the smoke they could see big flashes of light shoot across the cellar. Although they were of the supposition after while that some gas was escaping, they never suspected it was pouring into the cellar from the main connect.on
 The poisonous gas had not much effect upon the firemen while 1t con- tinued to blaze, but when the water extinguished the flames and the gas began to envelope the men, It soon had the firefighters gasping for air. Both realizing they were being over come, they started for the cellar door, each shouting for the other to .come on." Moore reached the door first and was helped through by Heitman. Moore immediately collap- sed. Heitman, after aiding Captain Moore, attempted to get out in the air himself, but he was too far gone and dropped. .'Shootie" Kelly and Patrick Maloney of the Burton street company had been at the nozzle in the cellar. They had not swallowed much gas or smoke, so when they saw that their captains were likely to he overcome, they shouted for help. Several firemen,. with Deputy SnleI DOuQS WeHI lo Iho N Moore and Heitman. Heitman was in a serious condition when they picked him up.
 It did not take the man long to bring Moore to his senses, but con siderable time elapsed before Heit- man recovered consciousness. Each captain was very eager to know how the other was getting along.
 The fire started in a small bin in the cellar where kindling wood fol the furnace is kept. It burned brisk ly and sent large amount of smoke through the hotel Officers George Gabriel and James Walsh went through the building, awakening the occupants who found that their rooms wererapidly filling with smoke. The firemen confined the blaze to the cellar. The loss is between $4OO and $500. The place is owned by Edward l.. Hellmann.
 The United Gas Improvement com pany has a man to attend all fires to turn off the gas if there is any danger of an explosion. He was on hand last night, so it was stated at the office this morning, but the dam- age had been done before the gas was turned off. The firemen also carry key to turn off the gas, but the rseters had burned off last night befs,.e the firemen could get to the tu.'n-off.

THE POLICE COURT.
Case Against Neuman for Theft of
 Diamond Nolled.

A very small boy named Martin Kelly, aged 10 years, who is known among his schoolmates as Happy Hooligan," was before Judge Bur pee in the city court to-day for not attending school. Truant Officer Deeley told of the trouble there has been with the boy to keep him at school, and Miss Elizabeth Scanlon, his teacher in Merriman school, said the lad was absent 101 half days between September and January, and from January up to date he has been absent thirty-eight half days. The boy lives with his folks at l9 Bergin street. His mother was too i'll to be in court to say good word for him and his father could not at- ford to risk losing his job in the shop to appear for him. So there was no one present to defend him. While the boy was in school he was all right, but he would suddenly dis appear and no more would be seen of him until the truant officer wouil find him again in the course of q week. As the county commissioners were not notified to be ready to e. ceiye him, the boy was committed to the state school in Meriden.
 Miss Scanlon and the truant offi- ger elubbed their witness fees, 60 cents each, and bought fruit and candy for the kid, for it is the last he will receive in some time.
 The case against Charles Neuman sA.rt .f rssnrsb s40O from Morris Bisnovieh Of Clock avenue was nolled, the testi- mony the officers had being eonsij- cred insufficient. Bisnovieh lost about s6OO worth of jewelry and the only evidence there was against Neu- man was that for a week before its disappearance he had been daily visitor at Bisnovich's house.
 The case against Paul Tedeseo for assaulting Emil Bouffard was again continued with the prospect of a settlement.
 Luigi Giliotti was caught by Rail- road Policeman MeGowan walking on with a big lot of coal last even ing from a car at the Meriden june ton. Giliotti. who said his age IS % years. stole the coal to sell. He told McGowan that he had not worked In seven months and would as lief go to jail because he would lre sure of square meal. He was fined s5 and costs. which means about fifteen days in jail.
 Dr George W. Russell stated tha. Anton Cusky. whom Peter Wolkes vas charged with assanlting with in- tent to Kill. was able to be about and may be strong enough to appear in court next week. Attorney Bobbin appeared for WoIkes and had the bond reduced from s5.0O0 to g. .000.

At bar meeting this morning At torney J. J. O'Neill stated that some steps ought to be taken to keep the town clerks office open during noon hour.

The As You Like It man has often wondered how certain folk. especial ly theatrical people, stay out to all hours of the morning. apparently have no regard for their health, and yet go along for years without hay ing a sick day of it. But actors and actresses. the writer has since learn ed. or at least many of them take much more care of their health than one supposes. The writer knows one well known thespian who makes a point to retire at a certain hour every evening. and he seldom allows anything to interfere with his routine. On his last visit to this city he attended a dinner party by a few friends. But he remained not a moment after his hour had come. and notwithstanding the efforts of his friends to have him stay. he de- parted for the night. A theatrical man in New York was recently asked how the members of the profession remain in good health when in the eyes of the public. they seem to have no regard for nature. replied.

Secretary Straus' Order.

Secretary Straus has done a timely
and useful service in ordering the com.
missioners of immigration and the i'm
migrant inspectors to confer with the
local police authorities of each city
and cooperate with them I'm Kidding
the country of anarchists. The Chi
cago crime. following so closely upon
the assassination OF the priest i'm Den
yer, has shown how necessary il is
for the forces Of law to proceed with
merciless diligence against these
pests OF humanity.
Fortunately the law passed in 1907
provides that these criminals who have
arrived within the past three years
may be deported. Their names are on
record, and IL their crimes can be
proven they can be shipped out OF the
country at once. Thus there Is open
a practical course. and the co-opera
ton of national and local officers
should lead to prompt and gratifying
results.
Secretary Straus is TO be highly
commended for his energetic initiative

courts, is practically unenforceable be.
cause ii attempts too much and fails
to recognize great industrial and so.
cial facts. changes and tendencies.
The underlying principle OF the hill
may be expressed In few words. In
stead OF outlawing all combinations
and agreements in restraint of trade
the amended act would outlaw only
unreasonable and injurious restraint Of
trade. In other words, Il would fol

But the bill is very complex affair
in spite OF the apparent simplicity OF
this essential purpose. The complex
ity arises from several causes, such
as the desire to remove certain fears
and apprehensions that have been ex-
| cited. the desire TO enable corporations
to ascertain in advance whether con.
templated agreements would be
deemed reasonable by the government.
and the desire to secure more publicity
