FELL TO WALK
Woman Was Hewmed in By Fire in a New York Board.
 ing House
OTHERS WERE INJURED

New York, June 2.-Fire starting | in the basement of Mrs Mary Moon- ey's boarding house at 313 West 3Oth street early to-day completely cut oil the escape of Mrs Mooney's 20 boarders and when the firemen came one young woman had fallen or thrown herself from the roof to the pavement and was dead. Several others were severely burned and the upper windows, front and rear, were crowded with people begging to pc saved. The dead woman is Miss Ma rie Beletraine who occupied hall rsom on the top floor. The injured are Mrs George Miekle, burned about the hands, and head George Miekle, burned about the arms and feet; Mrs Mooney burned about the hands and body; Mrs Mary Haggerty, burned about the hands, face ana body; Mrs Mary Haggerty, burned about the hands, face and body, and overcome by smoke, condition crltl- cal; Mrs Madge Clarke, burns about the head and face; Miss Mae Emer- son, sisters of Mrs Clarke, injured by falling down stairs.
 The fire started in the cellar in a coal bin. It mounted through the hall and stairs and when the awaken ed boarders tried to get to the street they were driven back. Some CT them went to the rooms on the upper floors and some to the roof. Don't jump," called several men from the street as they saw the heads of men and women appearing at the windows on the upper floors, Don't jump here come the firemen."
 AS the first fire company galloped up Miss Beletraine, in her night clothing, appeared on the roof and plunged over the coping. One of her shoes caught in the half open shut ters. The shutters closed and for an instant the woman's body dangled in space. Then the shoe came off and she fell striking on her head. When the men in the street got to her she was dead. AS there were no tira escapes and the blaze cut off exit by the railways, firemen were sent 'l through an adjoining building whence they crossed to the roof of the burning house. Mrs Miekle was confused by the smoke and was m able to reach the roof. Captain Sw c. ney saw her at a window on the os floor, and tying rope to the chimney lowered h mself to the window whence the other firemen drew hei to the roof. Mrs Mooney tried to get down the stairs and finding them ablaze turned and went to the roof.
 She was burned while on the stairs leading from the first to the second floor. Lieutenant Reilly tied a wet cloth over his face and entered the burning house through a scuttle from the roof. Feeling his way through the heavy smoke from room to room Reilly stumbled upon Mrs Haggerty in the third floor front room. She had fallen and then crawled part way under the bed, seeking shelter from the fumes and then tainted. Lieu tenant Reilly carried her to the rooi and thence to the street. The fire was quickly extinguished with s1 ,00C damage.

The trouble is said to have started when four men who were shaking dice accused another of cheating.

eensured for not doing if he had emitted to do it.
 Of the anonymous communication writer by Whitney I had no knowl- edge whatever. made no charge against any member of the house A suggestion that a member of the house had been annoyed by impor- tunities of the Electric Boat com- pany representative cannot right fully be construed as charge against the member. A request that ike committee ascertain by impartial Investigation whether improper practices on the part of the Electric Boat company had influenced con- gressional action. Is not. in my judg- ment a charge against members of the house. believed and still be- lieve that the Electric Boat com Iiany has received excessive profit in the sale Of submarine boats to the United Sta es government. That be- lief has been strengthened by the testimony given before the commit tee by the responsible person. that he would take a contract for the construction of submarines al the price which mentioned as giving liberal profit to the contractor.
 believe I have now stated all of ihe ma.erial facts which bear upon the question of my good faith. whether the conclusions of the committee in this particular were ip fed or not I leave the public tO judge. Conscious of the honesty of my motives and having informa- tion of the facts mentioned in the letter incorporated in this paper. and having learned from my coun- sel that a member of the commit tee had said to him in the presence of other members and without any dissent on their part that the com mittee had no doubt of my sheer ity. and Knowing that the state ments 70 my physician and my coun- sci were made near the close of the hearing and after ! had concluded my testimony my feeling or rather mv condition on learning the com mittees conclusions vas stupefae- tion.

WOMEN SPEAK OUT
Want 10 Enter Business Fields in Preference t0 Wairimony--
 Believe in Suffrage.

Chicago, June 2.-Women physt- cians took stand advocating the right of girls to enter any profess sion or to engage in any business in preference to becoming wives and mothers at yesterdays session of the American academy of medicine.
 Several men physicians read pa- pers deploring the fact that too many women unsexed themselves by for saking home life for industrial work, and asserting that the future of the race depended upon the checking of this widespreading evil"
 Then Dr Helen c. Putnam of Providence, R. l., startled the audi ence by declaring she was in favor of woman suffrage. She said:
 Every woman has the right to develop her best faculties, to become educated, and to enter a business field, where she meets many men, so she can select the father of her chil- dren. I favor establishing a study of 'homemaking' in the public schools of our country"
 Dr Emma Culbertson of Boston said: Cooperation of the two sex es alone is needed to settle the aues- tion of the place of women in busi- ness life" --.-
 Dr Edward Jackson of Denver, Col, asserted conditions had changed during the last hundred years, and that women should be allowed to change their habits and occupations.
 Dr Otto Juettner of Cincinnati, O., said:
 The lack of housewives and dos nestle servants is disrupting society and home life.
 T have no sympathy with women who work in stores or other indus trial institutions for starvation wages when there are thousands of homes in which they can get respec- table employment better fitting them- selves for married life.
 Women competing with men simply lower the wage scale, cause lack of support by men, and ten- dency towards singleness."
 Dr George Hoxie of Kansas City, in talking about education of wo- men, declared it was deporable fact that teachers in public schools receive less wages than bod carriers.

Reed. former president of+the Amer ican Medical association. A seat in the presidents cabinet with secre- taryship of the proposed department of public health is conceded to be the end sought by the proposed pollt- ical campaign.

Allnfmenf of Judges.

The allotment of the judges of the superior court gives Judge Bonnet ot New Haven to Waterbury for tine special and regular term in October; Judge George w. Wheeler of Bridge port for the special and regular terms next February and Judge Shumway of Danielsville for the May and June terms. This shows that if the request of the bar for q judge to hold a special term here next September was received by Chief Justice Baldwin be- fore the allotments were made, it was refused and shows that there will be more agitation for more judges dur ing the next legislature and that Wa terbury will he on deck with claims for at least two of them.
