GERMAN STRIKE SPREADS
TO MANY INDUSTRIES
Attempt at Intervention by the
Ministry Fails

BERLIN, Oct S.-The strike of the
Hamburg dock laborers continues to
spread to industries which have only
a remote connection with the trade
originally concerned. Last Saturday
weekly payment of wages was the oc-
casion for the abandonment of work
on the part of 420 metal foundry hands
belonging to the firms of Monk &
Rabba of Hamburg, and Dietz of AL
tona.
The workmen of the engineering
shops of the Woermann line and the
German East African line also came
out on strike. The fifth week of the
strike has now begun. Next week
strikers who do not belong to any trade
organization will also receive strike
pay. A report is in circulation that
an attempt at intervention has been
made by the German ministry u the
interior. but it failed. This rumor,
however is denied.

MOONEY SAYS, "SPARkLERS
 DANGEROUS"
He Will Not Permit Their Sale = These Fireworks Have Already Caused
 Three Fires

Chief Edward Mooney said this morning that he will not issue permits for the sale of fireworks to anyone who sells "Sparklers." The fireworks are advertised as harmless. so that due care is not taken in their use, with the result that they have caused three fires within a few days. The chief said this morning:
 ssThe sparks which fly from the tSparklers' are harmless. but the sub stance placed upon the wire holder will set fire to anything it comes in contact with.
 "The insurance reports upon the panic in a Cleveland, Ohio. 5 and 10 cent store, where P persons were kill ed last year. and many injured. state that it was started by a demonstration of a similar firework called Spark lets
 'I think the 'Sparklers' are more dangerous than frecrackers.
 About o'clock last night the fire department was called to Elm street to extinguish a lively fire on the roof of a frame carpenter shop of $. B. Squires & Son. The chief found that children had been playing with Spark lers'' in front of the building. Lieut.. Holden found the remains Of a spark ler'' on the shingles.
 The other 'Sparkler'' fires were also roof fires. One was at PIP Knowlton street on June 21, and the, other was on the roof of a vacant house at 14S Hough avenue, Monday night. The chief waited upon the Mayor this morning to lay the matter before him, but the latter was out of the city.
 The chief states that he will cause the prosecution of any one selling fire works except as authorized by license.

YOUNG THIEF MAY
 BE SON OF FAITH
 FAMOUS BURGLAR
Striking Resemblance and the Same Name Recalls
 Sensational Crime

Memories of one of the most sensa- tional burglaries in the history of New England were recalled at police head quarters today when David A. Faith, aged about 25. was sentenced to jail for bicycle theft. Young Faith is believed by the police to be the son of George Faith, one of three accom- plished cracksmen who footed Fair chfld's jewelry store 2 years ago.
 Falrchilds store was then in the store north of the corner now occupied by T. l.. Watson & Co.'S banking house. The big safe teen7ing with treasures stood towards the rear of the store. and watchmen and police men passing the place were wont to glance in to see in the dim light that the safe was intact.
 Entering the store early in the night three crooks. known as Kid McManus, George Faith and Joe Dollard, stretch ed piece of dark canvas across the front of the safe. with the outline of the safe drawn upon the canvas
 With this theatrical safeguard to screen them from view from the street. they went to work on the safe. forced it open and made off with many thou sands of dollars worth of jewe1ry. Later the three were arrested in New York city. turned over to the Con- necticut authorities and sentenced to prison. Faith got five years.
 Last. night Patrolman Larkin arrest ed young Faith for violating the city ordinance prohibiting riding a bicycle on the walk. Later he learned that Faith had stolen the bicycle Though the police hoped Faith might prove to be the man they have been seeking for the wholesale bicycle thefts here abouts of late, they were disappoint- ed. for this morning the thefts began again |
 Faith said he lives with his mother janitress at 163 E.. 18th street, and is a laborer. He bears a striking re- semblance to the photogsaph of bur- glar Faith in the Rogues' gallery.

In the retirement of William BaX- ter Kelsey. Ph.

Kelsey re- signs to assume the superintendency of the public school system i'm Strat- ford, where, as the representative of the board, he will be signally con- cerned in the new High school to be charge of all grammar and High school work.
 Prior to his advent in Bridgeport, MT. Kelsey was for some years the principal of a school in Kingston, New York; in this position his field em- braeed active work similar to that which he will supervise in Stratford next year.
 MT. Kelsey has labored assiduously during his term of office here. and has promoted the affairs of the Wal tersville fschool to an enviable status. Much of his personal time and energy has been devoted to the training of the Waltersville band, a musical or ganiEation of schoolboys which has received favorable criticism from march and heard them. play.
 As an organist and student of music. MT. Kelsey Is we'll known To- cally; for some time he oflciated as assistant organist in the church of St. John on Fairfield avenue. His de- gree of Bachelor of Philosophy was obtained in Colgate University.
 Two years ago MT. Kelsey was rendered the superintendency of the school system of a New England city, an office involving an attractive sal ary. but declined it on the ground that he had not become sufficiently familiar with eastern methods to rem der the acceptance desirable at that time.
 As testimonial of their esteem, the teachers of Waltersv1lle yester- day presented their retiring principal with a handsome desk set of ham mered brass.
