He was averse to allowing bail to be received, and when they could not agree, the matter was sub- mitted to Judge Wilder. He fixed the bail at S5,oO0.
 Then came a message from the hos pital that the woman was dead. The officials deemed $5.O00 ample bail, however. and accepted HJss HaTe@ as her brotner's boHdsT5..n- He s1sove his car away from poice headquart- CTS. with his sister in it, about II o'clock.
 Meanwhile efforts to ascertain the identity of the woman were futile. The woman was taken so quickly from the scene of the mishap that few in the neighborhood knew that anything had happened. She carried a black hand bag in which was found a slip of paper with memoranda of groceries she intended to purchase, and $2 bill. The bag had .an is- ored suit of blue, which bore the name of the maker, ''G. Fox & Co, Hartford but aside from these two features there was nothing to indf- cate the woman's identity.

Senate Fails To
 Abolish Death Limit

tors vote today and compare that vote with their promises before election.
 Senator Judson's explanation of the bill was most lucid He answered a number of queries from the Senators, dwelling particularly upon the clause whereby the jury would be allowed to consider dependency of the decedent call was taken those who voted in fa- vor of a new limit of $10,O00 were: Pierce, Spellacy, Alsop, Bailey, Mar low, Dickerman, Mitchell, Marsden, Parker, Woodruff, Platt, Lounsbury, Mahan, Park, McNeil. Jr., Hammond, Elliott, Barnum, Frisbfe, Wright Leonard.
 Those who voted against any limita- tion were: Fenn, Halloran, Shanley, Peck, Judson, Donovan, Meara, and Brinsmade
 The bill as amended was then pass ed and was immediately transmitted to the House. Since the House took action on the bill refusing to fix any limit, the lobby has been working overtime and apparently succeeded in doing a good job. There was much indignation on the part of a number when they learned of the vote of some of their colleagues in the Senate
 A determined effort will now be made to have the House adhere to it's former action in which event the fight will be renewed in the Seante
 Senator Mitchell stated upon the floor of the Senate that Governor Baldwin has assured him that he con- siders that any Democratic Senator who would favor a maximum of at least S10,o00 would not be disobeying the party platform.

Back Draft from Furnace Fires Clothing of Sidney Caldwell, Boats Engineer, and Frank Colerick, Fire man.
While Cook and Captain Give Aid to Burning Men Tug Becomes Mass of Flames and Is Practically Destroyed.
Bremen Give Assistance to Injured, But Are Unable
 to Reach Burning Craft,
 Which Will Be Total Loss

Sidney Caldwell, engineer and Frank ed when the tub Stephen E. Babcock burned to the waters edge in Cedar Creek this afternoon. Caldwell resides with his family in Winter street, Cole rick lives aboard the boat. Both men are now in the Bridgeport hospital with their limbs swathed in bandages with fearful burns about the arms. chest, neck, faces, ears and head.
 The Babcock had left the Crane Co. dock and was heading for the en- trance to Cedar Creek at Black Rock harbor, with all steam up when what is believed to have been a back draught from the furnaces burst uron the engineer and the fireman. Both were tenveloped in flames, their clothes taking fire. They rushed upon deck where their burning clothing was pulled from their back by Cap> tain Samuel Babcock and George Mill Ter. the cook. Below decks the vessel was a seethfng mass of flames, the yellow flame soon finding their way yellow flames soon finding their way
 The predicament of the tug was r oted by the crew of a mud digge. dredging in the creek, who rescued them from their perilous position. When they left the boat flames Iick- ed the etxerior emitting clouds Of dense black smoke. At o'clock this the hull was visible above the water line, with the interior sig zling and spluttering away as the wa ter dashed into it.
 Calls were sent in for the local fire but the streams from the engines could not reach the burning craft. The tug was only short dis tance from the dock of the Bridge port Forge Go.
 When Chief Mooney arrived in his auto, both Caldwell and Colerick were on the Forge Co. dock. They were rushed to the emergency hospital where Dr. Bennett applied large quantities of carron oil to relieve their sufferings. Though suffering ;n- tensely from their burns both men stood up bravely. Covered in band ages and wrapped in blankets the two men were moved from the emergency hospital to the Bridgeport hospital.
 Sidney Caldwell, the engineer, stat ed to a Farmer reporter that he real ly did not know the cause of the fire, though he believed it to be from a back draught. When attacked by the flames he at first attempted to prevent the spread of fire and to as- sist Colerick. who sustained greater way they rushed upon deck.
 The Babcock belongs to the Bridge port Towing Go. and is a familiar craft not only in local waters but al- so in all the harbors throughout the Connecticut and Long Island shore. She was originally a New York boat and is valued at about s6.500. She Babcock of Stratford.

Mrs. Mary |. Douglas
 Struck And Killed By
 Powerful Automobile
isaac HaWes, Owner and Driver of Car, is
 Held In Bail of S5,OOO
Woman Stepped from Sidewalk, Turned Back, Then Started to Cross in Front of Machine-Though Dragged but Few Feet Her Clothing
 Is Almost Torn Off

Confused at the simultaneous ap- proach of a team and an automobile, Mary Louise Douglas, aged 67, wife of Robert Douglas of TIT Sherwood ave- nue, and mother of. the we'll known bowler Thomas Douglas, was fatally injured this morning by a powerful six cylinder Stearns touring car own ed and driven by Isaac Hawes, a wealthy young man of 76 Lenox ave- nue, this city. The accident occurred at the corner of Sherwood and Fair field avenues.
 Mrs. Douglas, unconscious and un- identified was rushed in the automo- bile to the emergency hospital, thence conveyed by the horse drawn ambu- lance to St. Vincent's hospital where her death occurred about 10 o'clock. It was 1 o'clock before her body was identified. Meanwhile her elderly husband, convinced that something g had happened but ignortant of the au- tomobile mishap, awaited her return from what was to have been a trip to g. down town grocery.
 Hawes was taken into custody in the emergency hospital, when it was learned that the woman was likely to die, and he was held in the office of Captain Arnold of the detective bureau until his sister, Miss Mary T. Hawes, also of Lenox avenue, furnish ed bail of s5.0O0. It was not known, when bail was fixed, that death was so near but before the papers were completed for the filing of bail, word came from St. Vincent's hospital that the woman had expired.
 Captain Arnold and Prosecutor Redden had tilt in police head quarters over the furnishing of bail. Ca ptain Arnold had informed his charge that he would be released as soon as bail could be fixed Prose cutor Redden announced that the iifan should be held without bail un- til the circumstances of the mishap we're ascertained. Captain Arnold in sisted that bail be fixed for the pris- oner. and the two finally laid the ma tier, through Clerk George Burnes of the city court, before Judge Wilder sitting on the bench of that tribunal furnished, and this was speedily ar ranged.
 Hawes is about 30, the eldest of the three children of the late Agnes Wake man Hawes, who ended her life in the Grand Union Hotel in New York city ter, Mary T. w. Hawes, were riding east through Fairfield avenue with their big yellow touring car about 9:15 when they overlook a business wagon, bound in the same direction and driven by Henry G. Demme, of the building moving firm of Maloney & Demme

 If the parties insisting upon send ing from three to five millions of dol lars for new sewer experiments, would advocate the spending of one half the above amount for deepening our channels, for filling in the mud flats, for building a complete system of docks, for extending the present sewer outlets into these deeper chan nels, and also extending the sewer outlets on the shore front few hun 6red feet further into deeper water, these changes would perfectly agree with MT.

SENATE PASSES BILL TO
 PREVENT ARTIFICIAL PRICES

State, replied that if Senator Paddock was sincere in his efforts to prevent combination he was working in the wrong direction. Because my amendment is in line with the Su- preme court decision in the Standard Oil case" said McNeil, ''and because Governor Baldwin and the attorney general have said that my amendment would cover the ground"
 Senator Judson said that if the amendment passed it would be hard to decide what was reasonable or un- reasonable. The trouble was, said Judson, that combinations could not be proven to exist
 The McNeil amendment was defeat ed, IS to 6. Senator McNeil then moved the passage of the original bill, and this was passed The House has not yet acted on the act It pro- poses to restrict combinations to fix artificial prices on necessities of life"

Hartford, Aug StThe Connecticut placed a maximum and minimum fig ure upon human life. Heretofore un- der the presen flaw in vogue in the courts of Connecticut no mans life aaas been valued at higher than s5,000. Both of the great political parties at the last convention put into their plat forms blanks declaring unequivocally for the abolishment of this $5,0O0 limit. The House two weeks ago passed the bill reported by the Judiciary commit tee, wfping out the limit. The Sen ate today refused to abolish the prin- cipie of limitation, and instead sub etftuted a minimum of 8, 900 and a maximum of $10, ,000.
 Senator Judson. in support of the committees bill, first referred to an amendment which had been passed by the House which in his judgment would operate to defeat that feature of the report which made dependency a teet for the recovery of damages in Che case of death.
 He argued eIoquently and convinc- 1ngfy for the passage of the bill with an amendment which ne presented olardfying the situation with respect to dependency. Senator Mahan of New London introduced an amend ment fixing the maximum and mini- mum figure Senators Judson, Fenn of Wethersfield, and Halloran of New Britain, declared that both of the great parties had promised the people of the State to abolish the limit Senator Mahan said that he did not propose to be swerved from what he considered to be his conscfen- tious duty to the manufacturing and business interests of Connecticut, by his talk of party platform pledges. He said that by abolishing the $5,000 and increasing the maximum sum to $1o, ,000 his party's platform pledge was being redeemed. He was supported by Senators Mitchell of New Haven. Spellacy of Hartford, Woodruff of Orange, and Platt of Waterbury, and Park of Hanover.
 Senator Paddock of Bridgeport said that during the last campaign in Bridgeport he promised bis constit- uents that if elected he would oppose any limit being placed, and therefore he would vote against the amendment Senator Halloran of New Britain asked that the vote be taken by roll call In order that the people of Con- necticut might know how the Sena-

When the report had been read. by motion of Alderman Mahoney, action was deferred until next Monday evening
 The report showed that the city en- gineer had conducted his work as an engineer in competent manner, and that the charges brought against him relative to the laying of several grades and the extension of several sewers were unfounded and unwar- ranted.
