During the last few years, however
nearly a dozen beautiful structures
have been in course of erection or have
been completed in the United States,
and the time may come when the whole
land will be dotted with these MASTER

INVESTIGATING.
Authorities Probing In
cendiary Fires at Milford
One In Six-story Tenement
Block Set at Both Ends.
Also Investigating Theft Of JeweIry
and Silver.

Milford, Mass, March 29.-Dctectivc
Robert T.. Mott and Charles Adams,
building inspector, both of the district
police, accompanied by chief Thomas
f. Maher of the Milford fire depart
ment and William G.. Pond, clerk OF
the district court today began Il thor
ough inquiry into the cause of the tw"
fires in Milford Friday night in which
three persons lost their lives and tw"
others We're badly burned; also into
the robbery at the house of William
D. Leahy Thursday night, when $500
worth of jewelry and silverware We're
stolen. 1t is expected that arrests viii
soon follow the fire investigation.
Detective Mott stated tonight that
both fires We're of incendiary origin
and that it is possible that the same
person or persons set fire to both
buildings as they Were near together
on the same street. The fire in the
tenement block the officer said was
started in the basement at the rear Of
the building under a flight Of stairs,
and another was also lighted at the
front end Of the building at the head
Of another flight Of stairs. The in
spection today showed that the fire
crept from both ends toward tie mid
die of the structure, where it ran
through the main hallway, thus shut
ting off the means Of escape of the
victims.
Inspector Adams stated that the re-
port that lives We're sacrificed because
the building was not provided with
proper exits is untrue and that the
law had been fully complied with in
that respect The fact that the fire
was set at both ends Of the building
made the use of exits impossible.
Milford, Mass March 29.-Three
persons are dead as a result of Friday
nights tenement house fire, and two
others are in the Milford hospital in a
serious condition. The dead are: Miss
Lydia Bates, % years old; Mrs. Jennie
NJ c. Cobb of Wrentham and her g.
year-old son, James.
1t was at first supposed that Mrs.
Cobb was Mrs. James Forrest, but her
husband, Wendell p. Cobb, came here
tonight from Wrentham and identified
the body.
The two women died last night, and
the little boy succumbed to his injuries
at o'clock this morning.
The 5-year-Old daughter of Mrs.
Cobb. Florence. is in a critical condi-
ton and no hope is held for her recov-
cry.
Mrs Susan Bates. another victim of
the fire, is also dangerously burned
and otherwise injured.
Mrs. Cobb left Wrentham Friday
noon with her two children to visit
Mrs. Bates in Milford. She left a note
at her home to inform her husband
that she would probably remain until
Monday morning.
The bodies of Mrs. Cobb and her son
will be taken to Wrentham Monday
for burial.

the purpose of choosing six presl-

That there may be no misunder-
standing. the secretary Of the COM
mittee has mace classification of
delegates based upon this representa-
ton. The town or plantation which
threw "a votes is, under this call. only
entitled to one delegate. In order to
get second delegate 1t must have

1t is hoped that if any errors are
discovered in the list they will be
promptly reported to the secretary so
that all mistakes may be corrected.

of the court, yesterday empanelled a fury of seven men, who assembled at the scene. and after a careful survey of the situation, made an award allow ing the owners to elevate the dam to a height of seven foot and ten inches, assessing damages in favor of H. L. McGinnis, whose lands lie on the creek just above. in the amount of S25o.
 One of the jurors. J w. Journey,
 signed the verdict under protest in solar as the assessment of damages
 was concerned, he believing that dam ages should have been set at $l,0O0.
 It will be recalled that long law
 suit was terminated only a short while ago between MT. McGinnis and the owners of the mills; MT. McGinnis hav- ing won in e suit to have the dam cut down, claiming that the dam had been raised above It's legal height, causing the water to back up on his premises and rendering 1t useless for | tiliage, besides endangering the health of himself and family. This last move
 Is to raise the dam once more to the l height of seven feet ten inches, and yesterdays proceedings were to that | end.
 The steps taken yesterday, however. may not be final but on the other hand may be the initial step in an- other long law suit, the case having ! already been in the courts for nearly
