THE EXPECTED HAPPENED.

City officers announced that the usua! investigation that follows such disasters will be started at once. Said Fire Chief Croller: This calamity is just what have been predicting. There were no fire escapes on the building. have been agitating that fire escapes be put on buildings just such as that one This large loss of life is due to this neglect"
 The police say that todsy's fire is the sixth or seventh in the building with in twelve months, all of which. they say, occurred in the shirtwaist factory. The other fires were trifling. The factory. incidentally, is said to be the first one in which the operators struck during the widespread shirt waist strike which was settled several months ago
 By today's disaster the total of shirt waist operators who have perished in New York and vicinity recently is raised to nearly 200.
 New York. March 25.-MaX Blanck. one of the proprietors Of the Triangle Shlrtwaist company. said tonight: How or where the fire startel I have no idea. There was no explosion, of that | am sure. We who escaped by the roof saw nothing of what hap pened below us We probably were the last persons to get out of the build ing alive.
 T cannot understand why the peo- pie of the eighth floor could not have escaped had they not been thrown into panic They could have found their way out by the fire escapes in the rear This means of escape. however. was cut off ov the flames from those on the ninth and tenth floors"

SHIP IN JAWS
 OF TIDAL WAVE
 4 LIVES LOST
French Steamer Behaved Gal
 lantly in Teeth of Hurri- l cane
HerOiSm of Crew When Com rades Were Swept Into Angry Sea From Battered Decks
Especial from United Press. l

New York. Nov. 2S-A wild tale of the seas wherein iron nerved and hardy seamen broke down and wept tered French steamer Sant Anna drew up off Quarantine today and reported the death of four of her sailors and ~the serious injury of a number of oth- CTS. A great wave swept the four men overheard.
 How the liner, her engines stopped, widowed in the trough of a swirling sea while captain and crew watched three sailors swept from a liferaft to death, how one sailor was brought out of the jaws of the living death into which he had fallen, how men risked their lives dozens of times to save from the sea-swept decks their fel- lows who were injured, was told in simple terms by Captain Pavey, the ships commander.
 The Sant Anna left Naples on No vember IA. Heavy seas and high winds were encountered from the moment she stuck her nose into the Atlantic.
 On November 23 she ran into a southwestern. Passengers were ordered below and the matches battened down. During the most violent part of the storm there arose. without warning, a great big sea, almost like tidal wave. Wall-like, the officers say, it seemed to hover above the prov of the vessel, with overpowering force, upon the decks. Tons of water swept the ship from bow to stern. Lifeboats were torn from their davits and decks were swept bare.
 Captain and sailors seized stanchions on which to hold when the next wave boarded her. But none came
 The helmsman threw the vessel back into the teeth of the gale.
 Far aStern, Durand, Sarto Calisto and Quarlley, four able-bodied sea- men, were swimming in the sea, shrieking for help. Out on the deck, Foixet and Roumen, seamen, and Pazieti, ships boy, were lying on the deck, crushed and battered by the waves. A score of sailors sprang across the slippery decks. Some reached the injured men while others hurled life buoys and liferafts astern Captain Pavey ordered the engines stopped and the liner turned toward the four men in the vessels wake. The four seamen had reached life rafts Durand, Sarto and Calisto, ap- parently were unable to hold on, and as the ship bore down to pick them up, they gave up the fight and were swept away. Quarlley, though beaten away from the raft, fought his way back until the liner, flashing by, dropped him a life rope, which he tied about his waist and was hauled back to the deck.

MAY PROVE A HARD BLOW TO :.
 HEALTH BOARD Attorney .Meltzer Questions Boards Right to Enact its E
 Own Ordinances Questions C0nstitu- tiOnality of Statute Forbid ding Sale of Bob
 VeaP'

Defending a client in the city court this morning, Attorney Joshua Melt. ger opened up line of attack which may result in knocking out one of the most cherished prerogatives of the Bridgeport Board of Health and incl. dentally may nullfy the Connecticut statute prohibiting the sale of 'boh veal"
 Attorney Meltzer denies. the consti- nationality of the statute forbiddine the sale of 'sbob veal" and he also de- nies the right of the Board of Health to enact ordinances.
 Attorney Meltzer appeared in court this morning in defence of Jacot Weinstein, butcher arrested two weeks ago while butchering COW and several under-aged calves Vein stein is charged with violating an or dinance of the Board of Health in butchering the COW without a permit from the Board, and with violation of the general statute forbidding the sale of the flebh of under-aged calves called "bob vehL''
 The Board of Health is given the right to enact ordinances, by Chapter 3o1 of the Special Acts of 1909, but Attorney Meltzer declares that this is unconstitutional. He says that the Board of Health is purely an adminis- trative body; that it's only functions are to administer the laws enacted by the legislature, and that the legisla- ture has no right to delegate it's law making powers to any subordinate body and is violating the constitution in so doing
 Concerning the statute prohibiting the sale of bob veal, Attorney Melt ger claims that this is unconstitu- tional because the words human consumption'' are omitted He states that if the statute prohibited the sale of bob veal only flor human con sumption," it would be constitutional: but that the statute, as it reads at present prohibits the sale and ship ment of such flesh for any purpose, this interfering with the freedom of contract and violating the constitu- tional provision of due process of law.
 Attorney Meltzer's line of attack proved a surprise and by agreement the Wefnstein case was continued in the city court this morning and two weeks were allowed for Attorney Meltzer for the defence and Attorney Redden for the prosecution to file brief.
 If Attorney Me1tzer's contention is upheld, it will prove serious blow to the Board of Health.

cause. Foreigners are making mad efforts to get out of the danger zone but the chance of escape is slight should the Manchu forces begin a massacre.
 The situation is generally regarded as being more critical than at the time of the Boxer up rising.
 The capture of Han Yang was eff fected, yesterday, by the imperialists after a battle in which the slaughter was very heavy. It is believed the number of dead will reach 2,00O.
 The rebel troops resisted the inn perialists with great bravery and only retreated to Wu Chang after their ranks had been swept by a terrific fire. It is reported that the rebels, greatly handicapped by lack of ann munitton. were unable to obtain aid from the rebel gunboats for the same reason.
 The gunboats had, been without shells for several days. The sailors were unable to use their small arms the rebel army routed. The gum boats are still out of reach of the imperialists but are useless except for transporting troops. It is believ- ed that the rebel commanders will make a desperate attempt to supply the rebel navy with ammunition and that Han Yang will then be shelled.
 The rebel army is entrenching at Wu Chang it's leaders evidently ex- pecting speedy attack from the vic- torious imperialists The rebels are dernoralized, and their officers are 1isheartened over the defeat.
 A report is heard here that Gen eral Id Yuan Hung, commander-in- chief of the revolutionary forces. has asked the foreign cohsuls to act as ,nediators in an effort to restore peace. The Manchus seem greatly encouraged over the prospect of saw ing the dynasty.
 Three million taels have been promised the imperial army if it eff fected the capture of Han Yang and it is believed that this amount will be doubled if the Manchus take Wu Chang.
 Yuan Shi Kai is confident that, if the rebels are driven out of Wu Chang, the backbone of the revolt will be broken and that the people will consent to retain the dynasty with constitutionalism.
 @ The foreigners in the danges zone are appealing to their home govern ments to come to their rescue.s There are only the usual number of cruis- CTS in the Yangtse, however, and their commanders have received no orders to act If there should be an anti-foreign outbreak, they would be powerless to aid the foreign residents of Han Yang.

 MINISTERS OF
 COLONY DAYS
Beautiful Jeweled Medallion Windows to be Unveiled at Thanksgiving Service at Fair
 field Congregational Church
In Memory of the First Six Clefgymen Who, Served the Prime Ancient Society in First Church of Christi
Special to The Farmer.)


 Fairfield, Nov 2S-Three handsome ory of the first colonial ministers who served 'the Prime Ancient Society," will be unveiled at the Thanksgiving service at the Fairfield Congregational church, ('First Church of Christ.") Toe windows were presented by J. Sanford Saltus and were executed by the Tiffany studios of lew York. These three windows will give the church the distinction of having nine memorial windows which critics say, comprise the finest collection of me- daiion windows in the Unted States.
 The general public and all the con- xregat1on of the original parish are invited to attend the services on Thanksgiving day. The windows which are presented as fitting trib- ute to the first six ministers who tinctfon, are similar in general char acter, being of medallion type. They are modelled after the work suggested by artists whose glass has made beau tiful and historic the ancient cathe- draI of Chartres.
 A careful study and selection of Favrfle and jeweled glass have pro- siastical decoration, cannot be excell- ed Bright tints and fine shadings Dntrast agreeably with rich, subdued effects of light. The windows are constructed on mosiac principles and varied geometricaI forms, making a frame work or setting for the central picture. Each lancet holds a simple landscape scene around which an ap- Propriate text is woven.
 Brilliant jewels with radiant curves and squares and circles adorn the field of light. The memorials are symbolic of the character and service of the men whose names adorn the bronze tablets underneath the win dows

PADDOCK WINS OUT

 Second ballot, Paddock. z; Schreib. CT, 4; McAuley, 3.
 Third ballot, Paddock, g.; Schreib- CT, 4; McAuley, 1.
 Paddock was then ratified as the unanimous choice.
 The four who stuck to SchreibeI were Farrell of the 10th, Lyddy o1 the 11th. Moran and Hardy of the 9th.
 Alderman Carroll voted for Mo- Auley throughout. The three who eventually for Paddock were Reddy, Brady and Voos. Paddock's nine supporters were made up of Aldermen Garrity, Mo- Coy, Cassidy, Tin1ko, Walker, DeFor- est, Reddy Brady and Voos. The harbormaster matter having been disposed of, the matter of se- lecting a candidate for sealer of weights and measures was consider ed. The aldermen were not sure of their position and asked City Attor- ney Cullinan to advise them. He was located at his office.
 He told the aldermen that the new law does away with the two sealers of weights and measures, and gives to Mayor Wilson the power to ap- point one man for the places now filled by two, Howard Bayette and
 
 Aldermen Walker, DeForest and Brady were appointed to make se- lection of seats in the council cham Der.
 James P. Garrity participated in the caucus although he is not an al- derman. He will 1t is understood be the unanimous choice of the Demo cratic members of the board to suc- ceed himself. He was an alderman with a year to serve when he was nominated for tax collector on the Democratic ticket by the same con- vention that nominated John M. Don nelly for mayor.
 One of the Schreiber forces said today that Garrity really had no right to take part in the caucus as he is not an alderman now and will not be until he is chosen at a meeting of oath oS office. Had Garrity not taken part in the vote this same source says the motion to postpone consideration of the harbor master question would have gone over until a later, date when the chances for Schreiber would be more favorable.
 It is understood however, that no objection was made to having Gar rity sit as a member of the caucus inasmuch as he will have a vote as alderman on the selection of harbor- master. Besides the first action of a unanimous vote to succeed himself as alderman from the Second district.
 There were two candidate for page but the present faithful and efficient incumbent, Thomas F. Cleary, was made the unanimous choice. MT. Cleary received an overwhelming number of votes on the first ballot.
 Alderman F. H. Brady of the 9th district was unanimously named to succeed himself as president of the board.

Fairfield, Nov. 28-There are develop ments in the chicken case, in which Town Constable Leonard Kowalsh, Jr, was made to figure by Louis Krusdic. Saturday.
 Constable Kowalski grasped the sit- uation firmly today, making a state ment in which he showed conclusive ly that his presence in Krusdic's hen yard was not for the purpose of mak- ing away with Krusdic's hens.
 The statement made by the athletic town officer also clears up the mean ing of his remark, T am looking for my father which Krusdic asserted had been used.
 To save his good name the constable feels obliged to make statement, yet his motives in making his statement are not to protect himself, but his mother.
 Constable Kowalski's statement, made in writing, to the Farmer is as follows:
