FIRE BURNED
 UNRESTRICTED
 4 WHOLE WEEK
No. 7's Company Called to Quench Smouldering Blaze in Charred
 Paper Stock

That a fire may shoulder unsuspect- ed for a whole week was the startling fact disclosed by a still alarm which called No. 7s Engine Company to the Tait & Sons Paper Mill stock room this forenoon
 In the huge piles of Acharred stuff burned in the big blaze of August IT a merry little fire was disclosing itself Apparently it had lain dormant ever since the big blaze of a week ago to- day, and had finally worked itself out to the air and started with renewed Igor
 A wetting down was sufficient to quench the blaze. which was trivial.
 A week ago today blaze swept through the storage shed of the paper mill, an iron-sheathed structure sep of tons of scrap paper were stored and hot. The fire worked it's way into the interior of the mass of paper and the firemen worked for six hours before they finally left the fire as out
 But todays discovery apparently dis closed the fact that in the center of the charred paper a few sparks were still smouldering and they kept it up for whole week unSuspected, before the fire became big enough to be ap- parent.
 Either this. or else spontaneous con- bustion was responsible But the firemen are inclined to believe that the masses of charred paper harbored a few sparks, which caused today's out burst.

Ben Welch Watches Dress Rehearsal of
 His Burlesque Show
Relative of Bridgeport Merchant to Be Star in New Venture Which Opens Three Days Engage ment Today at Park
 Theafre

Let's try that number over again" shouted Jack Singer. He sat in his shirtsleeves in the orchestra at the Park Theatre this morning and kept of Ben Welch's Burlesquers which was being held.
 So the girl in white tights advanced to the footlights and the "Song of All Nations started again. Just as the girl was warbling about the glor- ies of Germany, Singer interrupted again and told the chorus ladies to fold their arms. You'll get your gloves this afternoon he said, "and be sure you wear 'em tonight
 Then Lew Kelly who has the part of a dope fend, enters and says "As I was passing through the keyhole just now, I heard a man say, If you got to know more than the dog"
 Ben Welch, who is the star and also part owner, watched the rehearsal of the first burlesQue, in which he does not take part. As he talked to the electrician a man brought Ben sand wich and glass of milk. That's all I've been eating for three days,'' said the comedian. We've been rehearsing this night and day"
 Welch hasn't played in this city in seven years. He played in Polls at that time. "Burlesque is new ven- ture for me- says Welch. 'But I be- lieve it's the coming thing. The peo- pie are getting tired of paying high prices and we give them high class musical comedy at moderate proices. It's going to cost us $10.00O before the curtain goes up on this show. The first scene costs us s, 900 and we have to spend lot on costumes. Some of those gowns for the chorus cost $160 each.''
 Welch is a brother-in-law of the late sam Harris of this city and is also a brother-in-law of Louis Cowan who is now manager of the Sam Harris store here. Welch expects the produc- tion will be a great success. The first burlesque is called "A Hot Town" and the second "A Day and Night in Chinatown The latter was written by Welch. The Park theatre manage ment reports big sale for tonight and also for Friday and Saturday evening The company gives only one matinee, on Saturday afternoon

Expert Reports on Condi- tlons in Berkshire Pond and Pequonnock River in Neighborhood of Berk- shire Dam.
Owners of Property Worth $75O,OOO Have Joined As Plaintiffs and Property Worth $3,OOO,OOO Will Be Represented When Liti- gation is Re,ady-Fight Fund Raised.

A suit against the city and the own CTS of the garbage plant for the abatement of the garbage and sewage nuisance and to recover damages for injury to property occasioned by the nuisance, is to be instituted by the East Side Improvement Association.
 At meeting of the associations committee, last night, $75O,eOO worth of property was represented by pros pective plaintiffs, who are to join in suit and $40O had been pledged as a fund to pay expenses. The associa- tion is making a canvass of property owners who suffer by the nuisance, to obtain collective action for a remedy. It Is expected that some S3,eOO,OO worth of property will be represented in the suit and that damages ap- preaching half million will be sought, together with an injunction against the garbage plant
 nittee. Frederick c. Stanley, instruc- tor of chemistry in the Bridgeport High School, reps ted the results of all exaInlnation mhde in the reQuasl- nook River and Berkshire Pond, as to the cause of the nuisance in this section.
 MT. Stanley, using bell jar took samples of the gases that are con- stantly bubbling from the waters of the river and pond. He found them to be mainly sulphide of hydrogen an irritant gas which emits an unspeak- ably foul odor. Mingled with this gas were carbon monoXide, which is highly poisonous, and carbon di oxide.
 An examination of the water indi- cated that it is charged with sewage far beyond the safety limit. The ex- 1st1ng proportion, as found by Mir. Stanley, was one of sewage to four of The test was the usual ammonia test. which showed an unusually large quantity of both free and albuminous ammonia in the samples. The free ammonia is from decaying vegetable matter and the albuminous ammonia from decaying animal matter.
 The conditions are made enormous ly worse by the deposit from the gar bage sewer of the heavily charged fluids from the reduction of some 30 to 50 tons of garbage daily.
 It was evident from the facts that the sewage is constantly accommodating in Berkshire Pond, and that the sew age from the upper part of the river must be carried to a point consider ably nearer the mouth of the harbor where 1t will work out with the tide and where there is water for dilu- tion.
 The investigation into the overland stench has not been completed, but facts enough>have been accumulated to make the committee feel warrant ed in bringing suit.
 A special committee has been named to make complaint to County Health Officer Hill and demand an a ba tement of the nuisance.
