New York, June 24EFfght more. deaths have been added to the list of IA already reported as a result of the heat wave now holding New York in it's grasp The thermometer yester- day registered 94, but there was a fair breeze blowing. Today, however, the breeze has died down but the heat wave continues unabated and prostra- tions are reported from all of the city and hospitals in the down town tene- ment districts are crowded. To add to the suffering the weather is intensely humid.
 -. The price of ice has already ad- vanced on the East Side, where the poor buy in small lots. The children in the tenement districts are the chief sufferers from the heat and scores of deaths have been reported among in fants, attributable primarily to the heat and humidity. Thousands of peo- pie slept on Coney Islands sands last night, guarded by police reserves. All the public parks have been thrown op- en to the heat sufferers. Sidewalks in front of tenements and fire escapes will prove the sleeping place:of thous- ands in downtown districts tonight. Horses are falling all over the city I from the heat.

ORATORS ARE
 EASY VICTIMS
Waterburyans Land on Behrendt Hard in Second and Third Innings:
Waterbury Republican,


 Jim ORourke's band of sub-cellar Orators were circus day visitors at Waterbury yesterday, but they failed to put dent in Waterbury's long rec ord of home victories. the Doherty boys getting enough in the early ses- sions to ease up while the visitors were collecting their small pile. and still win out, to 3.
 Big Charlie Behrendt, who was re- gently turned loose at New Haven, did the heaving honors for the Ground Floors and he did his little bit nicely at all times except the second and third innings. In these two sessions he was touched up for six hits, which, witt. three errors, a wild pitch and a rassed ball, were good for six runs and control. neither issuing a pass.
 Bridgeport broke the ice in the fifth on Bourquin's double and two infield outs In the seventh Miller hit to right center for home run, the ball being caught long enough at the bottom of the fence to allow the Orator to score. With two out Kocher tripled to the same locality but was left on third In the eight Pollard started off with a single, reached second on Bannon's out and scored on Hits single to center, Bourquin 6oubled with one out in the ninth but Kocher was an easy out and Steinhauser, who batted for Behrendt, grounded out to Miller.

Workmen Extinguish Flames In Factory
 of A. & B. Mfg. Go.

In the fire proof building at the plant of the American & British Mfg. Co.,, where all of the automobile engines made by the company are set up anc tested, a fire occurred yesterday after noon that gave the employees a scare for few minutes. A spark from one Of the carbureters is believed to have set fire to some gasoline and the flames spread to the oil that was on the floors. Small fires are common things in the room and the employees set out to ex- tinguish it, as there is nothing in the building that will burn. But instead Of decreasing the flames increased and as they got dangerously near a gaso- line tank an alarm was sounded from he company's private box, No. 62. The department responded but when it ar rived the workrnen had extinguished the fire by using sand instead of the extinguishing devices left about the plant for that purpose.

STATES ATTORNEY WILL CONSIDER
 FALLON FINDING
Conclusions of Grievance Committee of Fairfield County Bar In Five Com plaints Against Well Known Attorney.

States Attorney. Stiles Judson has re- ceived the finding of the grievance committee of the Fairfield County Bar in the matter of the charges against Frederick B. Fallon. --hich have been heard by Charles S. Garfield and Rus sell Frost. the acting members of the committee. The States Attorney will consider the facts and if they war rant further action will submit them to a judge of the Superior court, who may make such penalty as seems ad- visable.
 The committee finds that in March, 1907. Alderman Dennis O'Neil- employ ed MT. F'allon to sell a certain house the property of the sisters of the for mer for s2,5Oo and that Fallon advised O'Neil to take $1,500 in cash, to per init the purchaser to raise the money on a first mortagage, and to make the balance, a second mort gage for $1,O0O. The committee finds that O'Neil was unfamiliar with such transactions. that he followed the ad- vice of Fallon. and lost, s1 900 or the value of the second mortgage.
 In the matter of the charges pre- ferred by Kate Benedetto the com mittee finds that she employed Fallon to prosecute claim made by her against the Bridgeport Traction Com pany; that he received $60 paid her s3o and promised to pay a bill of SIG
  which concludes the committee. 3'he has ever since refused to pay.
 The committee further finds that in 1907 MT. Fallon was employed for Gu cello Arena. Italy, to recover damages for the death of her son; that he set tied the claim with the insurance com pany whose policy the employers held for $500; that he charged $500 for his services; that this charge was exces- sive; and that. upon demand being made through the Italian consul, Fall Ion paid to attorney for the consul the further sum of $150 to be sent to the mother. It is also found that the charge of $500 was not in pursuance of any agreement
 In the complaint of Patrick McGrath the finding declares that MT. Fallon agreed to handle McGrath's case for (25 per cent of the settlement. that he received $100 and paid McGrath $66; that when further demand was made he paid $9 more to Mrs. McGrath. The matter related to injuries received by McGrath of an automobile owned by Gabriel Bros.
 The committee also finds that in June 1908 James w. Keegan employed MT. Fallon to collect a claim of $250 against the City of Bridgeport for carting services rendered by Keegan that Fallon received $250 and retained $125, which charge, the committee says twas excessive and unjust

Catholics and Orangemen
 Clash In Liverpool

Liverpool, June A.-Liverpoo's jails are overhowing today as a result of the wholesale arrests made in the out breaks between Catholics and Orange men. Scores were arrested for whom there was no room in the jails and these were remanded to police court for a trial and released without bail. The swearing in of a large number of extra police has had the effect of tenn porarily restoring order but the trou- ble threatens to break out again the moment police vigilance is removed.
 Most of those under arrest are wo- men. It will take the courts a week to dispose of the cases. The few schools that have remained opened are now closed owing to the frequent ston- ing of the children.

SOUTH ENDS WITH GARTER ON MOUND
 DEFEATED MERIDEN

The South Ends of this city travelled 10 Meriden yesterday, defeating the All-Meridens in a well contested game. 6-4. It was the clever work of Nick Carter that brought home the victory. Nick allowed Meriden but five hits. The playing of the South Ends in the field was a revelation to the inhabit- ants of the Silver burg. Bill Sawyer, the former Orator, was the clouting kid with a two bagger and a triple. BilPs triple went over a bill board and looked like a sure homer. He only got to third as some one rang in a new ball. which the umpire allowed. The score:

Local Warriors Are Battling Today With Middletown High at Yale Field.

In an exceedingly poorly played game of baseball the local High School nine had but slight difficulty in wal loping their Meriden opponents at Newfield park yesterday afternoon, 10 to l. Insofar as scoring and baseball goes, the contest was a. farce, proving but runaway for the home team, and they had but little difficulty in locat- ing Tracy, the visiting box artist, ana also in pounding Costello, his success sor, hard at critical times. The S1l- yer City boys were unable to locate Malcolm, who managed to make eight of the visitors fan the air in the five innings, the game being called in the sixth on account of an agreement be- tween the captains of the two teams ir order to allow the visitors to catch a train.

(By Edward Payson Weston)

Cobre. Nev, June 23.-The wind and heat prevented me from getting to Tacoma until quite late last night. I left Tacoma at 7:45 this morning with a gradual increase in the temperature, arriving at Noble, twelve miles. at Ill., 20 a. m. I will stop here until evening when I expect the wind to subside and the temperature to fall, as it did last night.
 I consider this the best way to walk in order to avoid taking chances with the heat, which is very intense. One hundred and fourteen miles is pretty good walking for two days and if the heat and wind are not severe I will be able to make 9 record week. The mornings and evenings are cool and there is excellent walking on the road bed all the way. I in perfect expect to reach Moor. distance fifty three miles tonight.
