FOREST fire
Acres Of Woodland in Fair

(Special to the Farnerl


Fairfield, May S-Desperate work of
relays of volunteers resulted after
many hours in the quenching late last
night Of a forest fire hat swept over
many acres of woodland at Wilson's
Mills. in the northern part of Fairfield,
on the property of William Wilson.
The fire began at the roadside, pre-
su1nably from the butt of a cigar
flung carelessly into the underground,
and before it's danger was realized it
had spread to a strip of valuable
woodland and enveloped several piles
of well seasoned wood in readiness for
delivery.
Alarm was spread through the
sparsely populated section by the Will
SON family. and soon a. force of 80
men was at work beating back the
flames. Favored somewhat by the
salm west!:er. but handicapped by the
drought which rendered the under
growth ready fuel for the flames, the
men soon organized in relays, and as
fast as one party became exhausted
another took its place. Hewing down
part of the timber, and carrying pals
of water to shower over the under
growth, they continued the fight
against the menacing blaze until well
into the night. Several dwellings and
barns, particularly those of the Will
son property, were several times in
danger, and only a vigilant watch for
flying embers kept the roofs from
catching.
About 25 cords of wood ready for
delivery. and a large amount of stand
ing timber was destroyed, and many,
acres were burned over

afterwards. Mr. Sheffield and Mrs.
Thorne were Immediately married and
purchased the estate at the Pequot,
where they entertained lavishly. as
they did later here when they lived
with Professor Sanford. Their home
at New London became a great place
for crew men, because of the interest
which the elder Mr.. Sheffield took in
this branch of athletics.
There were no reports of anything
to mar the domestic tranquility OF
the Sheffield home until sometime after
the fatal runaway accident in which
their daughter was killed about four

PAPER MAGNATES
SAY RECIPROCITY
WILL RUIN THEM
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, May S.-"This simply
means that we will have to quit busl-
ness said Judge Sullivan, a Phila-
delphia book paper manufacturer, at
the hearing on the Canadian recipro-
CITY before the Senate Committee on
Finance, today.
"There are rs mills making this
paper, with a capital of $105, ,O00O 900 and
10000 employees he continued. If
the reciprocity bill is passed it will
place upon our product, compared
with Canadian production, a disad-
vantage of 81 ton.'
William H. Sharp, another book
paper manufacturer. of Philadelphia
asserted that the fact that English
clay and bleaching powders were free
in Candada and subject to a high tar
if here would be discrimination of
$50, 900 against him in a year.
Officials of the National Grange
from "a dozen states appeared to pres.
ent the farmers protest against the
reciprocity. n. J. Bachelor, of New
Hampshire master of the National
Grange. said that in % states there
is unanimouh opposition among the
farmers. Bachelor quoted President
Taft as having said that much effort
and expense had been used in sending
letters to farmers warning them that
under the Canadian agreement the
prices of their products would be re-
duced.
Bachelder accused the newspapers of
supporting the reciprocity for their
own financial benefit which he said
would result from a lower cost OF
print paper.
He said that farmers were entitled
before tariff rates were changed to
an investigation of conditions.
The introduction of the free list bill
in the House, Bachelor said. was an
admission that the farmers were un-
fairly treated by the terms of the re-
ciprocity agreement which he says
violates every principle of justice.

Was PARTRIDGE
SHOT BY man
GOING "EAST?"
Lemuel Beardsley, Famous
Hunter, on Trial for Vio-
lation of-Game Law, Says
He Shot Crow.

Declaring that his arrest was due to
i'll feeling on the part of members of
the Trumbull hunt club Lemuel
trial for shooting partridge out Of
season, made several senational state
ments to a jury in the court of COM
mon pleas this morning. He charged
that Herbert Clark, one of the states
witnesses had said, 'I lost some dogs
by lead poisoning and Beardsley might
know something about it." Beardsley
also stated that John w. Treadwell,
another state witness had said, IF
Beardsley shot. as many foxes as he
got bounties for, he must have used
a dog Beardsley testified that an
other member of the hunt club had
complained because he bought new
rifle to shoot woodcock but didn't get
a chance to use it because Beardsley
had killed all the woodcock.
The accused is very well known in
this city. He is a son of w. N.
Beardsley, the real estate dealer, and
has a shooting box in Trumbull. He
denied this morning that he had shot
a partridge as alleged. He declared
he had see no partridge feathers or
blood, and if there was partridge
shot he knew nothing about it..

would put on witnesses to prove. that
it was a crow and not partridge
that was shot. Beardsley admitted
having shot a crow about an hour be-
fore the partridge was killed. He told
about meeting a man in the woods
during his walk on February IL. The
man asked which way the witness was
going and Beardsley replied, 'east."
It was just before the meeting that
Beardsley heard shot. 1t is probable
that the mysterious stranger will be
charged with having fired the fatal
shot that caused all the trouble.

Herbert Clark and Benjamin Turney
testified for the state and told how
they found the partridge feathers on
the morning of February II, in the

Fairfield, May S.-David Burr. de-

license to the County Commissioners.
He intends to conduct a saloon in the

of transporting his children to the
Center school.
The School committee has $1,000
for a new addition to the Nichols
terrace school. This school was erect
ed only a short while ago, but the
district has been built up so rapidly
that an addition is necessary. Plans
have been submitted to four local
contractors, but they have refused to
make bids, because of opposition to

DIAZ IS
WILLING
TO QUIT
Officially Announces Inten-
ton to Resign AS Soon as
Peace Is Restored and
Madero Halts Rebel Army
(speciaI from United Press.)


Mexico City. May S.-With the cut
fiji es of the Diaz message to the peo-
pie in their possession, friends Of
Francisco L Madero, Jr., leader of the
revolution, were wondering. today, If
he would accede to it's terms. They
PORTED out that, while cstensibly
Diaz agrees to give the country most
of the reforms demanded by the pro-
Rressive element and says he Will re
sign when peace is restored" there
is no guarantee that he Will keep ms
word. Some of the more radical are
inclined to believe the whole thing q
plan of the Diaz followers to get She
insurrectos to lay down their arms
and then re-esta blish the Di1z dynas-
ty with the army. Others say that
the promises were made in good faith
and will be adhered to.
The revised draft of the appeal to
the country was considered by the
cabinet and President, today. 1t is
a wonderful document from the
standpoint of the administration.
The President solemnly declares it
to be the purpose of the government
to grant anti-reelection of either
President or Vice-President; a free
and universal franchise; judicial re-
form and the complete reorganization
of all of the states. DiaZ reviews mis-
rule, insisting that he mas always act
ed for the benefit of the whole peO-
pie. He then states that he has re-
Gently counselled with many people,
including all who have the real in
terest of the country at heart.
Without a head, Diaz says, the gov
ernment would be unable to compel
normal conditions of peace and an
archy would become rampant. Be-
cause of this he has refused all de-
mands to resign and even now he re-
fuses to fix any date on which he will
retire. His responsibility is to the
nation, he says. and because of this
ne simply states that. when absolute
order iE restored in the country he
will retire as its president.
The appeal eulogizes the army and
concludes with a fervent appeal to
''all patrinfhc Mexicans" to rally to
the suppoi' of t.,e government AMI
aid In restoring order throughout the
country.
Members of the cabinet declared.
today, that Diaz has secured a great
tactical advantage by the proclama-
ton. They say he has shifted the re-
sponsibility to Madero and if the lat
ter quibbles over accepting the terms
of the agreement he will show that
the reports that his personal ambition
caused the revolution are well found
ed
