Hitler, after brief hearing in the probate court yesterday afternoon. Attorney Howard c. Webb, who was present in court as representative of Dr. Kel- ley's sisters offered no evidence but filed notice of ans appeal to the Su- perior court when the decision was announced.

 Mrs. Hitler acted as housekeeper for Dr. Kelley for a numb of years.
 The sisters who aregcontesting the will are Mrs. Mary Elizabeth McCar- thy and Mrs. Mary Farrell of Water bury and Mrs. Annie Barnes of New York. The other relatives are Tim othy Kelley of Pittsf1eld, Mass, a brother; Mary. K. Creegar, a niece, and Anna Kelley, of Brooklyn, a niece.
 The only witnesses examined at yesterdays hearing were Judge Sam uel B. Hoyt, Leonard B. McCrann and John H. Courtney, who witnessed the will.

Hale Will Appeal Conspiracy Sun
 Against Coal Men

Hartford, Oct. 17-charles B. Hale of this city, plaintiff in the conspiracy suit brought under the sherman anu trust law against a number of Hart ford coal dealers, has decided to ap- peal his case to the United States CIT cult court of appeals. MT. Hale's sult in which he asks $36,oeO damages be- cause of an alleged conspiracy or Hartford retail dealers which forced him out of business in 1906, was tried last week irf the United States circuit court in Hartford before Judge James F. PIatt and a jury. After the plaln- tiff had presented his case Judge piaet dt decided that a. prima facie case of consniracv had not been made out, and directed the jury to bring in a verdict for the defendants.
 MT. Hale has been officially a bank rupt since 1908, and in the trHal last week the trustee in bankruptcy, An son T. McCook, was joined with the plaintiff. and was represented by James A. Marr of Bridgeport It is very likely that MT. Hale's petition Tor discharge from bankruptcy will be acted on in a few days.

Deadly Firetraps
 Still Numerous
 In New York City

New York, Oct 17-''There are about three hundred buildings in New York in which the Asche Building loss o1 life night be duplicated, The loss of life in that building could have been averted by the installation of a sprinkler system costing $5,OOO.''
 Fire Chief Kenlon said this to the Factory Investigating Commission yes terday when the commission continued it's heariQg at the City Hall. His testimony amazed the whole commits sion. He said that he could furnish a list of the places that were as dan gerous as the Asche building, where 145 people lost their lives, but that he would rather. not do so, for fear of alarming the employees in these places.
 At the beginning of his testimony Kenlon said that since he had succeed ed Chief CrOker he had found there were 2,081 buildings in the city used for factory and loft purposes where the law was violated. Tn 4O1 cases twenty mine violations were of the Tenement house law and two were vio- lations of the Factory law. He said that in case of a large fire in these places the loss of life would be great.
 Chief Kenlon said that he had mo- tified the proper departments of the violations, but he did not know what action had been takenS as he had nev- CT received an aoknowledg gment of his communications, although many of the cases required immediate attention. He said. that the list was on file at Fire Headquarters and could be made public if Fire Commissioner Johnson agreed. The figures indicat- ed that anywhere from 25,000 to 40.- 900 factory employees in the city are in danger of the fate that overlook factory.
 Chief Kenlon said that the Fire De- partment and not the insurance com panies should have the final word on the matter of sprinklers and told the commission that the insurance com panies at present refused to accept some sprinklers that were passed by the department.
 C. I. Harmon, a State inspector said he had examined the premises of the Triangle company about month be- fore the fire, the examination taking two or three hours. He did not find any of the doors locked and the aisles leading to the fire escapes were not blocked
 When you. went there what did you first do?' Abram I. .Elkus, counsel for the commission, asked.
 T went to the office and told them who | was and got lot of informa- tion.'' a
 'tSo that while you were in the of flee they might have unlocked the doors and cleaned things up?''
 'Yes,'' reluctantly admitted the wit ness.
 Harmon explained that it was, in his opinion, necessary to see some one in authority, as otherwise one would be lost in new factory. He had found he said, that some of the shafting under the tables was unguarded, and had so. reported, but he did not re- port that the space between the tables was only IS inches, though he admit ted such was the case and acknowl- edged that in case of fire this space was inadeuuate.

COAL MIKE EXPLOSIONS
To Be Reproduced in an Ex- perimental Mine Under
 Governmental Control

Washington, Oct. 1.-The actual re- production of an explosion in a coal mine promises to be the really dra- matic feature of the two days pro- gram of the National Mine Safety Demonstration, October 30 and 31, at Pittsburgh, Pa.
 The demonstration, which is under the auspices of the Bureau of Mines, the American Red Cross and the Pittsburgh Coal Operators Associa- ton, has for it's purpose a friendly meeting of the mine owners, super intendents and the miners from all over the country to witness and talk remedies for certain of the dangers as advocated by the Bureau of Mines.
 The bureau has long been of the opinion that coal dust in a mine was more of a menace to the miners than gas and has frequently demonstrated this in an experimental steel tube, at it's station, Fortieth and Butler streets. Pittsburgh.
 These experiments, showing how easily the coal dust becomes ignited and causes an explosion have been taken as conclusive by the great ma jority of mine owners and supertnten- dents and now great precautions are being taken to keep down the coal dust in mines. The question has. uOWGVeT, TlSSu, IIOt Ouly III lulS COuu- try, but also in European coal pro- ducing countries, whether the results obtained in the experimental tube are the same as would be found in a mine under working conditions. In order to settle this problem, and to make still more conclusive the bu- reaws contention that coal dust is the real danger of the mines. the bureaus engineers started the digging of a mine at Bruceton, Pa., twelve miles from Pittsburgh. The mine, which was planned to resemble many com mercialy operated mines in Pennsyl- vania and other States is now ready for the experiments. The bad prac- tfces found in mines where the lives of men are risked, will all be con- taiped in the experimental mine, and black powder, the most dangerous ex- plosive in dangerous mines, will be used.
 Most mine explosions are caused by what the miners term .9blown-out's. shots. That is, the explosive, in- stead of breaking the coal, blows out through the hole drilled in the coal to contain it, sending a stream of flame into the mine This flame generally ignites the gas or coal dust. The en- gineers vii! reproduce the blown out' shot They will make. certain that it will be a "blown-out' shot and then will watch for results. :
 These experiments will take place the afternoon of October 30. The next morning, at Forbes field, the baseball park, there will be friendly contests between first-aid teams of miners from nearly 100 mines. Presi- dent Taft will witness this part of the program. Already more than 10000 miners have declared their intention of witnessing the experiments. Min CTS in the Pittsburgh district have been granted a holiday for the 31st and the railroads have agreed upon a two cent a, mile rate within 250 miles of Pittsburgh. The Central Passen- ger Association has also granted ex- cursion rates throughout it's terri tory.

R. R. Improvements On The Berkshire
 Near Complteior
(Danbury News.)

\OduDuTy NSWS.J
 The extensive railroad improvements between Hawleyville and Botsford, that have been under way for two years. are nearing completion and a part of the new roadbed between those places is now in regular. The object of the improvements was the double tracking of the Berkshire di- vision from Hawleyville to Newtown and from Newtown to Botsford, and the elfInfna tio1i of curves and grades.
 Fully twenty-five per cent. of the roadbed between Hawleyville and Botsford has been rebuilt and in sew eral places the tracks run through entirely new rights Of way. One of the biggest tasks is the elimination of the tunnel just south of Hawley- vile. This work required the cut ting of "a new path for the tracks through the hill penetrated by the tunnel and men have, been at work there for months. Thousands of tons of rock have been blasted out and moved away. This work is pow near ly finished
 In double tracking the road all grade crossings have been eliminated. One of the most important changes is that which has been made at Newtown station, where the highway runs be- meath the tracks. The railroad con- tractors now have large forces of men at work between Botsford and Derby where that portion of the Berkshire division is being double tracked. The improvements are designed to facili- tate the movement of the heavy freight traffic delivered to the Berk- shire division from the Highland di- vision at Hawleyville. The work is costing millions of dollars and is by far the most extensive that has been done along the Berkshire division since the road was constructed.

NEED NOT FILE ACCOUNTS,
of Waterbury Holds He Is Not Required to State
 Expenses.

Waterbury, Oct. 1.-The question has been raised, and answered to his own satisfaction at least, by Mayor elect Francis T. Reeves as to whether or not the law compels candidates who did not appoint political agents to file Statements of their expenses at cleo tiOns
 'It is my contention" said MT. Reeves, 'tthat candidates who did not appoint political agents are not oblig- ed to file election expenses, and it wasn't done at the State election held a year ago when this city elected two Senators and two Representatives Tn so far as I am personally concerned I have no objection to filing a state ment, as most of the money I spent was through the Democratic Town committee
