HECARTY'S
 WIDOW TO
 GET PENSION
Fire Commissioners Will Find Way, Although Law
 Does Not Cover Ground
Board Exonerates All Mem bers of Department from Blame for Death-Coro- ner Wilson Enquiries in Secret?

With san inquest by Coroner Cliff ford B. Wilson, this afternoon, and a rigid investigation by the board of ire commissioners earlier in the day, in- to the tragic death of Lieut.. Philip D. Hegerty of No. Engine Co., last night, it was disclosed, today, that the fireman met his death leaping from the side of No. truck as the apparatus swept beneath the railroad viaduct at Congress treet. Collision was apparently inevitable. There was only a hairs breath, it semed between the apparatus and the pier. and two bad holes in the roadway made the lengthy truck sway so violently that crash appeared unavoidable. Hegerty was instantly killed.
 Already the fire commissioners nave taken up the plan of securing for the widow and little daughter of the ire man, the pension that in other cities they would receive by law. Strangely, in this city, no provision is made for the family of a fireman killed in the performance of his duty. Injured nre- men are provided for, also superan- nuated firemen who have served more than 20 years, but for f1remen kliieo at their posts. no fund IS proVloeo.

MAYOR CAYNOR
 IS BEATEN IN
 SUBWAY AWARD
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Go. Gets Contracts for All New York-Win Sweep ing Victory by Action .of Board of Estimate Today
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, July 20-The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company won a sweep ing victory in the board of estimate. today, when that body voted to award it the contract for the construction of all of the new subways in this city. The board had previously, by a vote of 10 to 6, rejected the latest offer of the Peterborough Rapid Transit Co.,, prepared by J. P. Morgan, which would have guaranteed nine percent dividend on all of the Interboroughs s investments in subways before the city would receive a cent of income.
 The Brooklyn corporation won out through the votes of Comptroller Prendergast, president of the board of aldermen, Mitchell and Borough Pres idents McAneny, Steers and Cromwell. Mayor Gaynor, President Miller of the Bronx, and Dresser, of Queens, op- posed the plan. Mayor Gaynor bit- terly denounced the turning over of the entire system to the B. R. T. He urged delay of A hours in dispos- ing of the matter, saying that, in his opinion. a proposed guarantee of earnings to the corporation was il- legal. Gaynor intimated that he will refuse to approve the contracts when they come to him. It is likely that the action of the board will be re- viewed by the courts before subway digging actually begins

road has thus been enabled to keep its crews down to the very minimum, despite protests from public and rail- way men.
 The Judiciary committee amend ment proposes to make the size of the crews a matter of public con- venience" instead of public neces- sity," a. very important change. The new requirement. is one easy to dem onstrate before the Utilities commis- sion when additional men on train crews are sought.
 The other change is an article giv- ing power to the Utilities commission to force street railways, electric light ing companies and telephone com panies to combine on the use of the same poles in city streets, where there are a number of poles and where the combination is practicable.
 This would give the commission power, to greatly reduce the number of unsightly poles in city streets.
 Attorney Morehouse, who is a rep resentative of the United Illuminat- ing company, is expected to present some of his choicest non-illuminating arguments when these measures come up for hearing before the committee.

Lieut. Hegarty'S death cast gloom throughout the department. His ln- variable good humor, his splendid manly qualities, and his absolute fearlessness in the performance of his duty had won him at once the ad- miration and respect of his comrades. He was very widely known through out the city. Rarely has there been a tragedy to call forth more vide spread and more genuine expressions of sympathy. 4
 Lieut. Hegarty was on his supper hour last evening when an alarm was sounded from Wall and Water streets. He answer the alarm, and when he had returned with the ap- paratus to the engine house, he left to complete his supper hour. keenly interested in athletics, he followed his usual custom of taking a brisk walk, and he was turning from Broad and State streets back towards No. 5 en- in the Fire Commissioners room, in the Court Exchange building.
 Without waiting to count the strokes, he raced through Broad street to John street, there to await the arrival of No. truck, which was CTS in Middle street to the engine house in John street. Hegarty beat the truck by several seconds, and as he stood on the corner waiting to leap aboard the apparatus. he was urged to take care, for the apparatus was coming down the street at an'un- usual rate of speed.
 Bremen James Gaffney and Charles Burke stood on the running board on the right. Hegarty waited until the tuck came abreast of him, then sprinting alone the same direction. swung aboard the running board. Burke and Gaffney extended helping hands, Burkes arm supporting Heg- ary as he gained his footing on tke apparatus.
 Even before Hegartys tragic death the truck experienced a narrow es- cape Two trolley cars were in Main street going in opposite directions, and but for the timely intervention of a clerk who rushed from Eckel's cigar store, the truck would in all likelihood have crashed into the troll ley car at the corner.
 Driver Frank S. Hafner drove the spirited steeds at stop speed through Main street to Congress street. Til lerman Ambrose Machalowski and Driver Hafner were bringing the ap- without trouble when the horses, used to returning to their permanent home in Fire headquarters by turning to the right, took an unexpected swerve to the right.
 Hafner controlled the horses with great difficulty and onIy by the ex- ercise of what his superiors consider rare ability. Machaiowski was also equal to the occasion. For the ami mals swerved pack sharply to the left and headed for the pier that divides the street at this point.

Executive Makes Statement of His Relation to Prose cutors in Letter to Rev.
 Dr. Beard
Clergyman Takes Up Mat ters of Sunday Baseball and Steeplechase Island with Governor Baldwin, Who Compares English System.
lSnecial from United Press.l

Especial from United Press.)
 Hartford July 2O- Governor Bald win made public, today, the follow inging self-explanatory letter he sent to the Rev. Dr. Gerald H. Beard, of Bridgeport, president of the Bridgeport Pastors association:
 ''State of Connecticut, Executive
 Chamber, Hartford, July IS, 1911.
 Dear Dr. Beard: Your letter of July state police have furnished sufficient evidence to the authorities of the Bridgeport police court of recent vio- lations of the Sunday law in that city, by managers of dance halls and oth- CTS, but there has been failure to bring any prosecutions.
 You appeal to me to secure jus tice. As our laws now stand the Governor of this State is pOwerless in such matters. In our constitution it is the Governors duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. In order to enable him to do this, he ought in my judgment, to have such powers of removal of inferior execu- tive officers, who do not hold for a as may enable him to discharge his trust with full efficiency.
 "I, therefore, at the beginning of the session of the present assembly, recommended the passage of such law as would cause, after due hearing. any executive officer not chosen by a popular election including prosecuting officers, appointed by the courts to be put under the Governors power. A bill for such an act was Introduced in the General Assembly but was un- favorably reported upon by it's com mittee to which it was referred and has been rejected. Had it been pass ed, I should of course; have looked into the merits of such an application as that which you present and, if satisfied that any public prosecutor had failed to act in such manner as his duty required, should have pro- ceeded to take steps for his refusal. ' Under our laws as they now stand, the only remedy in such a case is thy officials by the people who ap- point them. Writers on English law are accustomed to defend their system of criminal procedure Cunder which any private individual can prefer a in the nature of a criminal charge to Grand Jury and there is no public prosecutor through whom the best on the grounds that it se- cures prompt prosecution without re- gard to political or personal influe- ences, adverse to the courts of jus tice. We have preferred in the Uni- ted States to provide for public pros- ecutors and to leave to them the power and responsibility for initiat- Ing all criminal proceedings. The weak spot in that system as it exists in Connecticut seems to be the ab- sence of a power of direction and re- noval by the Governor. Yours very truly, 7 SIMEON B. BALDWIN,
 Governor"

But Money Goes Into Treas ury of City Court Instead of Into Pockets of Liquor Prosecutors.

Though the prosecution of Charles Greenrod's Brookside Social club which was raided at Bishop and Con- necticut avenues on Sunday, was made in the city court today by As- sistant Prosecuting Attorney William A. Redden, eGreenrod and the four visitors at the club. caught in the raid. were taxed with costs of $10 each for trs fee prescribed by law for ike liqutJr prosecutor.
 This fee, however, was not paid to Attorney Redden. It went with the city court revenue into the city treas ury. Thus. through the county com missioners' delay in appointing liquor would have begun July 1. the city gains $50 and some rising young law yer who could have prosecuted if he had been given that license by the county commissioners, is out of pock- ct $50.
 were represented by Attorney Henry B. Shannon. Following the precedent he established few weeks ago, Judge Foster found the frequenters guilty of violation of the excise law, as well as the proprietor. Hitherto this was not the custom, in raids upon places that had not been licensed for the sale of liquors. Only the keepers used to be fined.
 Attorney Shannon fired a demurrer, and Judge Foster overruled it. He fined the proprietor s100 and costs and the four frequenters $1 and costs each. The costs in each case were about S15. The frequenters describ- ed theE,s elves as Joe Morrissey, Otto Felskow, Frank Samson and George Hoffman.
 The terms of Attorneys Henry Greenstein and Albert J. Merritt as liquor prosecutors expired July l. Merritt prosecutes violations occur ring east of the Pequonnock river, under the arrangement of the county commissioners
 Greenstein recently received a check for $530 for. prosecuting five club raids in which the alleged pro- prietors and frequenters aggregated 53. The law prescribes that if prose- ctions are brought in good faith the judge shall allow the liquor prosecu- tor $10. This comes out of the city court appropriation. In event of con viction the prisoners are usually tax ed the costs of prosecution as we'll as other fines. In event of acquittai, where prosecution is brought in good faith, the city court under the law must stand the $10 fee for each pris- Oner.

 It is probable that a party of Bridgeporters will journey to Hart ford to watch the tests. This will be the first official trial in the history of the United States and probably in the history of the world, under the super vision of a state, for the purpose of an aero license issued by state.
 Nelson. if successful, will not get the first Connecticut aero license. however, as one or two have already been granted without trials, on the strength of previous licenses issued oy

Hartford, July 20.--Plans to great ly strengthen the powers of the new Public Utilities commission in cer- tain directions have been developed by the Judiciary committee. These plans were worked out by the com mittee and were to have been given a unanimous favorable report. when Attorney Samuel Morehouse of New Haven, noted as lobbyist, ''got wise" and demanded a public hearing.
 The date for the hearing has been set for next Wednesday.
 The Judiciary committee planned to strengthen the powers of the Pub- lie Utilities commission in the follow. ing ways: Under the laws the old Railroad commission had the power of forcing the railroad to add train crews whenever it could be shown that public safety necessitated it.
 Tn the days of modern safety ap- pliances, with a lot of clever lobby ists working for the railroad it has proved practically impossible to show that public safety ever necessitates additional train crews and the rail-

 It was asserted that both provisions nave been and are being daily vfoIat- ed, that the contract was drawn for the protection of the East Side fr fte event of the very emergency that has arisen, and that 1t would be breach. Of faith not to. terminate the contract and abate the nuisance.

 The Mayor, after listening attenffvs- ly, said that he would make an frn-. mediate investigation, and finding fas' state of affairs as represented, would take every legal step possible to end the nuisance, even to closing the plant The Mayor further said that he recoz- nized the right of the people in the Ninth and Twelfth districts to be freo from such nuisances as they scorn plain ed of.
 The Mayor assured the cor1uriftes that he had the highest confidence in the statements made to him, but held 1t to be duty not to act until afterl a formal investigation, hef had becoms convinced of the nuisance by evfdeuce.
 The committee replied that 1t was, the Mayors duty not to take such a radical step as closing down the gar bage plant, in which much money fs5 invested, until he is convinced by proof that the nuisance exists and that the garbage plant is responsible
 The committee agreed to furnish the Mayor with the names of many wit nesses, who will reveal to him the ex~ tent of their sufferings from garbags odors, the difficulty in keeping tenants and the injury to health and comfort that the odors occasion.
