How to "Shed" A

It's foolish to attempt to cover no

you can so easily remove the sallow-

morning with warm water and soap.

SIO0,OOO Blaze
 StirS Clinton
Palatial Summer Home of New Yorker Burns as Helpless
 Neighbors Look on.

Clinton, Oct. 12-Fire of an un- known origin, discovered in the pala- tial residence of George Leary, of New York, on Pratt avenue late yes- terday afternoon, completely destroy ed this handsome structure and caus- ed the largest loss by fire this town has known in a great many years. It was estimated that the damage would reach $100,000 as the house is conSid- cred to have been one of the most beautiful of the homes along the Con- necticut coast.
 . The fire apparently had been burn- ing for long time before it was dis covered as the residence was unoccu- pied as the family had left it for the winter. The news of the discovery of the blaze created great excitement in the town and when the townspeOple began to pour out to the scene of the fire and saw the flames shooting up over the great pile, the excitement was intense. It was feared for a time that there might be a general conflagration as the town has no fire fighting equipment and | bucket bri- gade was formed at once to endeavor to keep the flames within bound.
 This, after strenuous efforts, was successfully accomplished. While the mansion itself was ruined beyond hope, all the surrounding buildings that go with it, the garage, barn and windmill, were untouched by the fire. As the evening came on the smould- ering ruins presented a weird and ghastly sight palely lighting up the sky from the embers where once the big house had stood.

 New Haven, Oct. 12.-That Former State Policeman Merrill S. Iouks may Police Egan was indicated, today, by Egan's statement that he had con- suited two lawyers in regard to LOuks' allegation of graft in the state police department. MT. Egan stated that his future action would be determined by the receipt of a reply to a letter he had sent to Judge John H. Perry, of Southport, president of the State Po- lice commission
 Judge Perry today, stated that the Louks charges had been investigated by the commission at the time of Louks' dishonorable discharge from the force. We found them entirely unfounded and uncalled for and that there was no reason for the board to lose any of it's confidence in MT. Egan," said Judge Perry.
 MT. Egan still enjoys the undi unfinished and perfect confidence of the commission.
 ..The commission has considered whether or not it would reply to MT. did not care to get into a dispute or wrangle with him or to engage in any newspaper controversy. But if the newspapers care to continue to print MT. Louks' stories I do not know what action the commission might see fit to take.
 The commission is appointed by the judges of the superior and supreme courts and if the charges made by MT. Louks are true then the commits sion ought to be discharged"

 Mayor Buckingham is man of peace. He does his work quietly. He isn't braggart. He doesn't quar- rel, but he gets results. He has made mistakes. but fewer than most mayors. He has become involved in no scandal. He has made no 20 year contracts. They call him weak because that is all they can think of to say. They can't call him "crook- ed" If he were crooked" MT.

WHY THEY SAY TT.

y MT. Voter: Have you heard some a weak" mayor? Perhaps you have heard something of the kind, and perhaps, not stopping to think about it, or not being a close follower of political matters, you believed it?
 The Electric Lighting monopoly wants you to believe. that Mayor Buckingham is weak because he advocates municipal ownership of an Electric Light plant and will fight for municipal ownership to a finish.
 The Water monopoly wants you to believe that Mayor Buckingham is weak because he pried it loose from more than half million dollars which it was getting from the city in annual sums of s15.00o, under the terms of the notorious twenty year water contract.
 The Gas monopoly wants you to believe that Mayor Buckingham is weak because they know that mu- fnicipal ownership of electric light means competition with gas, reduc- tion in prices, and ultimate estab- lishment of municipal gas plant.
 The railroad monopoly wants you to believe Mayor Buckingham is weak" because he compelled it to spend a fortune in its power house, to give Bridgeport a real service this win- ter, and because he is the only may or of Bridgeport who ever bearded that lion of monopoly in its den.
 Certain people wants you to believe that Mayor Buckingham is weak be- cause he refused to interfere to pre- went Sunday baseball and because he permitted the opening of Steeple- chase Island as wholesome Sunday re- creation for many thousands of his fellow citizens.
 e Others want you to think he Is weak because he urged and secured the passage of bill which will go far to prevent widows and orphans 
 Even the fact that his agitation against the state tax, to which he brought all the mayors of Connecti- cut, saving the city more than $20O,- 900 in the next two years, may be off, fered to you, MT. Voter, as a proof that Mayor Buckingham is t'weak." Undoubtedly you will be told that he is weak because his administra- ton has given the people of Bridge port the first chance it ever had to vote on bond issues to decide wheth- CT or not the people shall incur nearly a million of indebtedness, es- tablishing for all time the principle of the referendum in this city. And some there are will say that he is weak because he attend ed the receptions and the social af- fairs of more civic organizations than any other mayor, refusing to make fish" of one organization and flesh of another in spirit of true Denhoc- racy.
 MT. Voter, these are only a few re.
