$4,000. One woman guest is missing.
Alarm SAINT to Occupied Rooms.
The fire started in the north end of
the building, over the boiler room. A
stron~ wind was blowing from the
southwest, and the flames were quickly
famed to the other end Of the struc-
ture, where the majority of the guests
were asleep. Before the fire had been
discovered by two negro boys, who
were returning from Biltmore, the Van
derbilt place. which is but a short dis
tance from the Inn. it had gained head
way, and was even then beyond con-
troll. Mrs. A. B. Martin, the lessee,
gave first thought to the safety of the
guests, when she was awakened and
in short time an alarm had been sent
to every occupied room.
One Missing Guest
There was a scramble for the exits.
but no panic. Half an hour later when
it was believed that all were out. the

Liverpool, April 14.-During the
voyage of the Cunard liner Lucania,
which sailed from New York April Z,
two young women who had occupied
a second class cabin together commit
ted suicide by shooting.
Bodies Buried at Sea.
They were Margaret Clarke, 29, who

companion was greatly agitated over
the occurrence, and four days later
took her own life in the same manner

Identity Shrouded in Mystery.
New York, April 14.-Mystery sur
rounds the identity of the two young
American women who committed sui
eide on the Lucania. Neither left any
address with the Cunard line officials,
who saw that they were apparently un-
acquainted before sailing, since they
booked passages separately and were
assigned to the same stateroom merely
by accident.
According to the Cunard lines ad-
vices the address "66 Clinton street,
Brooklyn" was found among Miss
Clarke's effects. The address, how
ever, gives no clue to her identity,
though this number is the building of
the Long Island Historical society. No
one in the building knew of any woman
of the name given by the suicide.

death. The Brooklyn branch of the
Italian detective bureau credits Gam
bino with a conspicuous Black Hand
record.

from the city. Efforts Of the firemen
were needed, however, TO save adjoin-
ing residences, as the wind was scat
tering sparks to their roofs. The fire.
men were successful in preventing the
flames from spreading.

$4,000. George w. Vanderbilt is be-
lieved TO have been the heaviest stock

SENATE DEMOCRATS AGREE
To Support an Income Tax Amend
ment to Payne Tariff Bill.

Washington, April 14.-For more
than four hours today the democratic
members of the senate conferred in an
effort to agree upon a policy toward
tariff legislation. At the end of the
time Senator Culberson, the minority
leader. announced that they had
agreed to support an income tax
amendment and to stand for substan-
tial reductions in schedules, particular
ly for a decrease in the rates on nee
essaries of life.
The conference was not binding, but
regardless of this fact it was not en-
tirely harmonious. Some of the SEN
ators present admitted frankly that
they would ask for protection for the
industries of their states. Senator
Stone spoke in favor of his programme
for independence for the Filipinos aft
er fifteen years and absolutely free
trade with the islands during that pc
riod. Senator Foster was opposed to
free trade with any of the colonies
Neither of these senators, it was ap-
uparent, could have obtained a ma
posals had a vote been taken.
On only one question was the con-
ference agreed and that was the in
come tax amendment. No details were
arranged today in the programme to
fight for reductions in rates all along
the line. The conference was ad-
journed until Friday, since all of those
present agreed that they were not suf-
ficiently acquainted with the bill to
pass judgment intelligently upon it,

NINETEEN YEARS OF PROHIBITION
1t was Claimed Showed Great Decrease in Drunkenness

would Decide by Popular Election whether Manufac-
ture and Sale Should Be Prohibited After JAM Next

who argued that if the manufacture
and sale of spirits as a beverage was
beneficial then it ought to be contin-
ued. but if it were not it should ceass.
He maintained that 1T was not.
Condition. Contra sted.
II. B. Brown of East Haddam con-
! trasted conditions in Connecticut un-
der the license system and unoer pro-
hibition, which existed from 1854 to
1872, saying that during the latter
period there was a lessening of the
number of Jail and prison inmates and
that geneva. peace and happiness was
promoted.
Pastors Favor the Measure.
Rev. w. S. Davis said he represented
the Southern New England conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church ard
read a resolution adopted at the re-
cent meeting of that body urging the
Connecticut legislature to pass a pro
hibition law.
Rev. DR.. G w Reynolds of South
Manchester also favored the measure.
MIR. Kendall in Opposition.
n. W. Kendall in opposing the meas
ure said it was true that the state Cor
nineteen years had tried prohibition,
but had tired of it and had gone back
to the better plan of local option. The
petitions referred to by the opposing
speaker he said did not represent the
state sentiment, and he mentioned a
previous election when the majority
vote was against prohibition. A few
days ago. he said, Hartford and yester-
day New Britlid had had opportuni-
ties to vote on the question and in
each case the vote had been against
no license.
REPRESENTED the Brewers.
Attorney ]. B. Klein of Bridgeport,
representing the brewers. said that tie
advocates of the measure asked that
it be submitted to the people for a
vote, but by the platform of the pro-
hilition party the matter had been
submitted again and again and decided
adversely to the prohibition favorers.
Purely Political Proposition, Says Mr..
Orr.
Frederick w. Orr of New Haven o. .
posed the bill, saying that the argu-
ments advanced yesterday against the
bill providing for the limiting of sa-
looms according to population would
apply only more emphatically to this
bill The proposition was a purely
political one, he said, put forward by
an old political party which had come
to ask the legislature to do what the
people of the state. when the matter
was submitted to them, had refused
time and again to do.

TO have been hanged at the state pris-
on in Wethersheld on March 8, and
whose case was appealed to the SUI
preme court, were given a new lease on

Michael Wierack after quarrel
The men were tried before Judge

MYSTIC ORAL SCHOOL.
Pupils Appear Before the Committee
on Appropriations.
(speeial to The BuIletin.l }

Especial to The Bulletin.)
Hartford. April 14-Seldom has the
| appropriations committee been pre-
sented with so interesting a lot of ex-
| hibits of the good being done by the
states money as was the case when
Mrs. Clara NJ. H. McGuigan, acting su-
perintendent of the Mystic Oral school,
appeared before it this afternoon with
number of the pupils of the school,
who showed the committee what the
| work done there is and what fine re-
suits are accomplished. There were
] little tots who have just come to the
| school and the children were graded
up from these to Miss McAuliffe, who
| is a graduate of the institution and is
now employed as a teacher of the lit
| tier pupils.
The lip reading done by this young
woman was little short of marvellous,
and the work of all the children was
very interesting at the same time that
it showed what useful work the
| school is doing Miss Jane S. Worces-
ter, one of two sisters. who are mem
also present, and assisted in the ex-
hibition, in which the committee was
| exceedingly interested.
Mrs. McGuigan enlarged on what she
had said yesterday as to the schools
needs, saying that with the $4,000
which was asked for it was desired to
build fireproof dormitory and then
turn the dormitory building now
standing into SchoolroomS and use the
building at present used for school
room purposes for a hospital. These
improvements are imperatively need
ed When the school was incorporat-
ed fourteen years ago it had but IS
pupils. while today it has "A and is
filled to the very limit of its capacity,
and has a waiting list.
The proposed dormitory would ac-
commodate sixty pupils. which is all
that the school authorities feel that
they can care for properly. The state
pays $275 a year for each pupil and
state authorities have the right to send
children to the school If there is a
vacancy. This $275 is made to go as
far as possible and by being very saw
ing, indeed, it has been possible to
make small improvements during the
years but the present plant has not
only been outgrown. but the building
now used as a dormitory is unfit for
the housing of children such as these,
who are unable to look out for them
selves in case OF fire.
Mrs. McGuigan assured the commit
tee that if the state wished to take
over the school entirely its owners
would be very glad to have this done
1t is now owned by a private corpora
tion, which has never received a cent
Of dividends or other return and none
of them expects this.
Secretary and Treasurer c. H. Lath-
am emphasized the need for a fireproof
building. sHe said that the school au-
thorities had tried in every way to
eliminate the danger of fire, by putting
in electric lights and by keeping a
woman on duty to watch the dormitory
nights.
Henry B. Noyes Of the directors and
Senator Latimer also spoke in favor,
as did Representative Wilton of New
London.
The remarks of DR.. L. M. Allen, the
school physician, were not only in
teresting but highly Instructive
