WOOD WILL 60
 HIGHER IF WE
 DECLARE FOR IT

The members of the street committee are not disposed to announce how they will stand on the question of wood block pavement when the time comes for letting the contract. Chairman Hartley said this morning that if the committee declared itself in favor of wood block now that the bids upon the work would soar skyward and the price become prohibitive for Bridge port. The committee, he said, would advertise for bids to furnish all kinds of pavement, and it could tell best about the kind of pavement that would be laid after it had seen the hgures-
 The chairman also stated he had learned from Boston that some of the wood block which had been laid there was of~a special make, and cost a great deal more money than Bridgeport had ever paid for pavement
 Prices for wood block which have been quoted here in the past have run from s3.1O to S3.65 square yard laid. Prices for brick paving have graduat- ed from s2.5O to $2.s9 per square yard

 The cause of the shooting has not been learned. The men who shot the priest escaped.
 The dead priest came here from Pat erson, N. J., three months ago. He was assistant rector at St. Stephens Polish Catholic church on Beach street Paterson. About a year ago there was trouble among the parishioners of St Stephens but it is declared that F'a- ther Ansione had no part in the exist ing differences between the two fac tions that caused the trouble.
 St Stanislaus church here is on Bel mont avenue and the rector is Rev. Jo- seph Masniclxi. It is the largest Po- fish Catholic parish in New Jersey and has a, parochial school attended by jeans.

The group of men rushed over the fallen body of the woman. made their way to the front door to Belmont avenue and escaped down West Kinney street. The fugitiveS were seen running away but no defin- ite description of them could be obtain ed.
 The sounds of the shots attracted the attention of the curate of St. Stanis- laus rectory and he rushed from his room on the second floor. He found his fellow priest dying from bullet wound in the breast and promptly ad- ministered the last rites of the Cath olic church, after which he did the same service for the woman Mean time the doctors were summoned as we'll as the police from the Fourth Precinct station. which is nearby.

Wise Ones Claim Theatre Is Going to be Built in Main Street and Schuberts Are Mentioned.
Owner of Hotel Stratfield Would Like First Class Theatre Nearby but Denies That He is Thinking of Building One; Says He Has Building Lots to Sell.

Sew eral weeks ago soundings were made on the property and since that time all kinds of rumors have been about what MT. Wheeler is going to do on the property. MT. Wheeler said that the reason he made the soundings was that Biltz & Go. had a gang of work men near the spot and he asked them to make borings to ascertain the nature of the soil.
 To-day MT. Wheeler was asked if he intended to erect a theatre. He said: "Tne first I knew of it was that I read there were such rumorS in the news papers. There was a man named Shaw here from New York looking at lots for theatre. I have some lots to sell and I showed him what I had. I have not heard from him Sincc.''
 Asked if he would build a theatre, he replied. 'I am not a theatrical man know nothing about the business. I have never thought of so doing"

KEY MEN
 WENT TO STAMFORD

A burglary. at Stamford which oc- cured Saturday night bears so great a resemblance to those perpetrated in this city on that night that the police of this city are the more convinced that. with that in Hartford on the same afternoon, all were the work of the same gang. Although a fine set of skeleton keys were found at the residence of c. N. Lane on Laurel ave- nue after the visit of the burglars. there were evidently more of the same kind in the gang, for the Stamford job was done with the aid of just such implements.
 The gang did a successful job at Hartford in the afternoon, jumped the town with their loot and did two jobs in this city, getting into Stamford in time to complete a weeks work and get to New York before morning.

Struck Freighter DimmOck in Dense Fog This
 Morning and Run Ashore to Save Lives. CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE BY THE WIRELESS
Known That No Lives Were Lost in the Collision Fate of the Dmmock Not Known But Believed She Safe-Rev- Gutter Gresham Goes to Aid of Disabled Vessels Steamer Massachusetts Reported Ashore Vineyard Haven

of the Portland-New York line and H. ! M. Dimmock of Boston off Newport this morning, but all details were lack ing.
 of the New York and Portland Steam ship Company received the information of the collision near Newport of their steamer with the Massachusetts and the Dimmock by wireless and their in formation was that the Massachusetts had been sunk but they have had no confirmation and all efforts to get in to communication with the Hall have so far proved unavailing. They state that the Hall had six passengers on board and her full crew. Neither of the ether steamers carried passengers and the information is so hay that they are not sure that the Massachu- setts was sunk.
 Every effort is being made to get wor0 from the scene of the wreck but owing to the dense fog this is diff cult task.
 A later report received by the steam ship officials was that the Massachu- setts was not in collision but that she struck on the rocks near Vineyard Ha- ven- Other reports are to the effect that she has not sunk.
 New York March 1O.-The Hall had but recently been taken off the dock where she was overhauled for the sum- mer passenger trade. She is valued at $500 0000 and carried cargo to the value
 
 Capt. Jewell was promoted from the position of first pilot last fall. and was given command of the vessel while her regular captain went on leave of ab- Sence for the winter.
 The Hall is believed to be lying near the reefs on which the cruiser Yankee went to grief a few months ago. It is feared her position is fully exposed to the sweep of the Atlantic combers and that it will be impossible to save her should a heavy easterly storm arise No vessels grounded in this vicinity have ever been saved officers of the company assert.
 Boston, Mass, March 10.-The High land Light wireless station has picked up weak message saying that the HoratiO Hall is beached at Great Point Nantucket, point the northwest corner of the island and about 10 miles from the Handkerchief shoals light. The location of the H. F. Dimmock has not yet been ascertained.
