100000 FIRE
HhHfFtHt HHHEH -
LIGHTS UP CITY
AND PER|LS 800
Bulldog, Only Waterman, Banks
to Give Alarm as Loft
Blaze Starts.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. April s.-Five
buildings, which, in area, covered a
block on the lower side of the city and
adjacent to the manufacturing district.
was f1re-swept early today. The build
ings destroyed in Franklin and Chest
nut streets were a fve-story brick one,
owned and occupied by the Lewis Haw-
!horne Company, sash and blind maxi
ers; a four-story brick one, used by
The John T. Doyle Company, dealers in
s~rocers' supplies and makers of pre-
served goods, and three wooden houses,
each two and a half-stories in height,
occupied by many Italian families. The
Hawthorne Company's plant was In
part occupied as a carriage factory by
the Killam Carriage Company. The to-
tai loss is 100000.
Soon after the fire broke out an eS-
plosion shook the neighborhood due, 1t
is thought, to ignition of a quantity of
varnishes and paints.
The fire started on a lower flour at
8 o'clock. The only Waterman en-
pioyed in the building was a bulldog,
which had done faithful service i'll this
capacity for several years. He is said
to have discovered the blaze and gave
the alarm by a series Of barks. which
attracted the attention of passersoy.
Three Hundred Lives In Peril.
Firemen and police were compelled to
turn their attention to saving the ten
ants in adjoining tenement houses. The
building was located on Franklin street
n the surrounding blocks are dotted
with frame structures pcopled by Ital-
ian workers in the factories. Nearly
300 persons were In danger, and the
police were directed to VI all of these
from their homes at once. There was
little panic, however. The noise of the
explosion and the vivid illumination
from the fast-burning fire brought a
crowd of 10000 persons into the narrow
streets and hampered the work of the
fircmen.
The blaze was a spectacular one, be-
ing plainly visible for a distance of
nearly ten miles. The glare lighted up
the windows of the Yale dormitories
and outshone the glow of the harbor
lighthouses to vessels far out on Long
Island Sound.

ARLINGTON RECEIVES NO
WORD AS TO P, @. CHANGE.
Mass Meeting viii Be field
Tonight.

Arlington Is still greatly worked up
over the prospective loss of Its post
office and being made a dependency Of
Newark, which is going to cover all
Kearny, including Arlington, through
a "Kearny station, Newark ~postofice,"
on and after May i. Postmaster James
Freeman, OF Arlington, declared this
morning that he had not yet received
any kind of a notification of the i'm
pending change, and was wholly at loss
as to what TO think or do about II.
Postmaster James L.. Hays. OF this
city, called him up on the phone and
told MIR. Freeman that he knew nothing
more about the matter than was con-
tanned in a brief order from the post
master-general at Washington that
Newark must prepare to wholly take
care of Kearny and Arlington's bust
ness after May l.
Friends of Mr.. Freeman say that the
change does not imply n dissatisfac-
ton with his administration, and 1t ia
generally conceded that he has given
good service with the few carriers ard
the limited facilities allowed him by
the government. 1t is more likely. they
say, that 1t is an economical move on
the part OF the Washington authorities,
who, in order to Lessen the annual de-
felt in the postal department, are COLI
~solidating postofflces In small towns
with those of nearby large cities In
this case It would mean the saving
of the $500 salary Of the postmaster
of Arlington.
AT any rate there will be a mass
meeting in Midland Hall, Arlington. to-
night under the auspices OF the Airing.
ton Board Of Trade. and Washington
will be told that what is considered to
be a slight upon Arlington is not rel
ished by the residents Of that section
of Kearny.

TUBERCULOSIS REVEALED
IN AUTOPSY ON COW.
Veterinarians Find Animal Tag
ged 20. K" Diseased.

What veterinarians who conducted
the autopsy deem proof positive of the
existence of consumption was discov-
cred in a Kearny COW yesterday after
noon. AS stated In the STAR, the cow
under suspicion was in the dairy Of
Albert Clampitt in Kearny, and having
reacted to the tuberculin test given by
Veterinarian Harold E. Stearns, of the
Kearny Board of Health on April /,
1t was decided to make a post-mortem
examination sc as to leave no doubt
as to the animals real condition. The
State Veterinarians Association took
the animal from Clampitt and yester-
day afternoon took 1t to Swift & Co.'s
%abattoir, on the Kearny meadows, and
had 1t killed.
DR.. Stearns was present, as were also
DR.. James A. Exton and Albert Cess
Ter, health officer and inspector, re-
s~peceively, Of the Kearny Board Of
Health; as also Mr.. Katcham, of the
State tuberculosis cattle commission,
the Health" tag of which body the
COW pore when Clampitt bought 1t in
I%rvington a month ago.
A critical inspection Of the carcass
revealed the existence of tubercular
disease, the doctors say. there being a
particularly large percentage OF :ubcr-
cular bacilli in what is known al the
posterior media stinal gland, which
vas preserved for further evidence in
the ease which the veterinarians have
been making out against the State
tuberculosis commission, which is ac-
cused OF laxity In passing diseased ami
mails as healthy. and which are likely
to communicate consumption to milk
users. This is the second COW to be
thus destroyed, the other one having
beer killed in a test in Montclair a
few days ago

Viewpoints.
Comic Section Education.

Editor the Missourian: Several
mothers organizations have passed
resolutions condemning the comic
sheets of the Sunday newspapers. They
claim that not only are the Katzen-
jammer kids and Happy Hooligan not
educational, but they assert that these
heroes are demoralizing to the youth
OF America.
1t seems hard that everything the
children enjoy is labeled harmful. The
children are urged not to spend so
much time reading Robinson Crusoe,
but are ordered to start in on Thack-
cray and the rest right off. Ordina-
rily. the socalled funny sheet is not
lamusing to grown-upS nor is it educa-
tional to the children, but the truth has
to be stretched almost to the breaking
point when the assertion is made that
reading the funny papers" is demor-
alizing.
There are comic sections distinctly
educational Little Memo is at present
taking a trip over America, visiting the
chief American cities. The chief char
|acteristics of each are carefully demon
strated in the pictures each Sunday
and many children get better idea
of American cities in this way than
they ever will from biographies.
The comic section can be made edu-
cational. 1t never was as demoralizing
as some wild-eyed reformers would
have us think.
