WOMAN DROWNED IN
IRRIGATION DITCH

The particulars Of a sad drowning
accident on the Garden Island, of which
Mrs Mary Nierra Branco, stepmother
Of John Nierra Branco of Honolulu,
was the victim, were received in the
last mail. The accident occurred at
Hanamaulu on Saturday. Mrs. Branco
had gone TO the irrigation ditch for
water, but the upright pipe from which
ordinarily the supply is got was dry, and
she dipped her bucket into the ditch
itself. where the water runs swiftly.
Evidently the force of the water
against the bucket overbalanced the
woman and she pitched into the ditch
Four hours later searchers found her
drowned body in the water, her dress
caught on some wire, which prevented
her from regaining her feet.
Mr. Branco left ON the last boat fol-
Kauai to bring his five orphaned step.

The youngest of these children is a
baby six months old.

JAIL IS RID OF
 INSANE CULPRITS

The committal to Middletown yester- day of Stephen Siphos. from the coun- ty jail, relieves the jail of two prison CTS, the other being John Tucik of Norwalk, who have been a constant source of anxiety to the jail authori- ties. About two months ago Siphos and Tucik were committed from the Norwalk court on minor charges. A few days after their confinement both became insane. Sheriff Sidney E. Hawley applied to the Governor for the appointment of a commission to inquire into their sanity Governor Weeks appointed pr. Winthrop Pile of this city, who found that Tucik was crazy. Following his report the Gov ernor signed the commitment papers, and Tucik was taken to Middletown.
 But Siphos was declared sane by the examining physician. much to the sur prise of the jail officials. Siphos' sen- tence expired June 3. If he had been turned loose from the jail he would have been menace
 Sheriff Hawley again communicated with Governor Weeks. who again ap- pointed Dr. Pile the examining com mission. pr. Pile yesterday found Siphos at his worst, and declared him insane Yesterday afternoon Inspec- tor Alexander Morrissey went with the prisoner to Middletown.

 Scalp Wide Open

In the fall of derrick being erect ed at the plant of the Locomobile Co. of America by the Torrington Con- struction Co. at 10 this morning, two men were seriously hurt and a dozen others imperiiled.
 The victims, both in St. Vincent s hospital, gre Isaac Palmer, aged 5, of Long Hill avenue Shelton, and Otto Schoen, aged g, of Torrington, board ing at 39 Ann street this city. Both were badly bruised and Schoen's scalp was nearly torn off
 Just how the accident occurred the builders have not yet learned. Schoen was experimenting the erection of the derrick which is to be used in connec- tion with the building of an addition to the Locomobile Co.'S plant. There was a crash as the derrick toppled to the ground, and the two men were found lying stunned alongside the heavy timbers.
 As it crashed to the ground the rig ging barely missed several other work men. The ambulance corps was sum- moned from the emergency hospital and Dr. Krause seeing the condition of both was serious, hurried them to St. Vincent's hospital.
 Palmer suffered bruises and a bad was struck across the face and borne was struck acroS the face and borne down to the ground by a falling tim- Der, suffered a gash extending from the forehead across the crown of the head.

FELL FIRST FROM WATER
 WAGON AND THEN A FREIGHT
Panhandler Says His Best Friend Is Silver Dollar Smith, Who Looks Like
 Roosevelt

Combined effects of a fall from a freight train and an almost equally disastrous tumble from the water wagon made it impossible for a shabbily clad man found on the tracks near Derby this morning to tell much about himself.
 At the Bridgeport hospital up to press hour he had succeeded in tell ing the doctors and nurses that he was John Smith, but when it came to articulating the names of cities or street addresses, his tongue enter ed a protest and he could only nut ter unintelligibly.
 Smith was found lying half cona scious beside the tracks and tralnmen who picked him up say he must nave been stealing ride on freight. He was taken aboard the passenger train reaching this city at 1O:35 and re- moved to the Bridgeport hospital in the ambulance. Dr. Krause could learn only that the victims best friend was 'Silver Dollar Smith"
 You don't know Silver Dollar Smith 9" queried Dr. Krause.
 Sure" came the sleepy response ''He is my best friend. He's Pres byterian. He looks like Roosevelt but he's built different" Then Smith lapsed into another alcoholic slum- Der. The proverbial luck of the drunken man attended him for he escaped without serious injury. His face was scratched and his clothes badly tattered.

FIRE IN STABLE
 THREATENS MANY
 FRAME BUILDINGS
Excited Person Sends In Second Alarm-Loss Is $500 Property Recently Rented By Jacobs Bros.

A fire near the plant of the Bridge port Motor Co. gave the manufactur- CTS and others doing business in Kos suth street, a bad scare, early this afternoon. It was stopped by the fire department with heavy streams of water and small loss.
 The flames were found in a stable recently rented by Jacobs Bros, the junk dealers, which was unoccupied. Up to a few weeks ago the structure was occupied by Month Bros, as a sales stable. An alarm was sounded from Box 623 and some excited per son increased the excitement by ring ing in a second alarm and bringing No. and steamers in addition to No. 2 steamer, No. 5 steamer, No. 2 truck and No. 1 chemical company.
 Before the fire department arrived the fire department of the Bridgeport Motor Co. with a chemical engine. got out and played a stream upon one corner of the burning building. But tine blaze had got beyond the con trol of chemicals. When the firemen arrived the flames had left the stable a charred shell and travelled south to the Storehouse of Chapman & Bangs, iron dealers, in a building leased by the Bridgeport Motor Go. Heavy streams of water were used in stopping the fire. The heaviest losers will be Chapman & Bangs, who will prob ably collect insurance for wa ter dam age to their stock. The loss on the buildings will not be more than $500.
 Andrew Dougherty, who conducts a plumbing shop, to the north of the Jacobs Bros. stable, set a gang of men to work and cleared out the con- tents of his workshop in jig time. The fire is believed to have been started by workmen smoking

CONCRETE GALLERY SUSTAINS TONS OF
 CEMENT IN TEST
New Empire Theatre Is Without Pillar Or a Post
 and Is Fireproof

The placing of AZ tons of cement in bag supon the center of the gal i, Iery floor in the new reinforced con crete Empire theatre today was the ! first test of the nature ever made in a concrete building of it's kind in America and the owners of the new structure, Spitz & Nathanson, of Providence, who were present to watch the test, were so pleased that , they at once gave the Sperry En- gineering Co. contract to duplicate the theatre in Providence. Without A single post or other support in the theatre other than gigantic beam ex- tending from wall to wall the gallery floor sustained the AZ tons dead weight without affecting it in he slightest degree. The principal sup port of the gallery is a massive beam 1-2 feet. There is no wood in the building, which has been erected in Main street just north of Gilbert
 street.
 The building is apparently as solid as though cleft out of granite. The owners figured on spending $60,000, but the work will cost them $9O,O00. The theatre will seat 1,200 people, but each seat in the house is as good as an-
