 He had been with MT. Sanford since last October, and far his em- plcyer knew was a man of steady habits. At one time he was connect ed with the Bridgeport Young Mems Christian Association.
 MT. Sanford fears that his man met with an accident or foul play, but there was no record of either at the police station or at the emergency hospital. The fact that the missing man was a man of good habits makes the case all the more peculiar.

STRATFIELD ASKS
 FOR EXEMPTION
TT IS CLAIMED THAT FTREPROOF HOTEL SHOULD NOT BE RE-
 OUnRF1D TO CARRY ROPES

The construction of the Hotel Strat- field in this city has raised a question for the General Assembly to deal with. It is now the law that hotels must pro- vide fire escapes. Usually a rope is provided for each room, suitably knot ted so that a descent may be affected by it hand over hand. In some cases the rope passes through mechanism which regulates its downward move ment These escapes are unsightly and the Stratfield, with the Hotel Elton, Waterbury, are anxious to have the law changed to exempt fireproof struc- tures Senator Luther of Hartford is the chief opponent of the measures. He declares that there is only one fire proof building in the United States. The bill granting the exemption has been fayorably reported by the Committee of Public Health and Safety of the General Assembly.
