Eyre Department
 Is Puzzled By
 Strange Result Steamer Does Better Work Sucking Water From River Than When Taking it Fron, Hydrant

Officials of the fire department are all taking a guess as to the reason for the unexpected res, its shown in re- cent test of one of sthe big steamers, in which theory has apparently wilted up and colla1 ssed in the face of practice" So SUI prised are they, that another test will be made at the first opportunity.
 The question is this: ttan a steamer that is sucking up wate1i from & well, or pool or river, lifting tfe water per haps ten or fifteen feet, deliver as much water through the, hose as a steamer that is taking it's water out of a f1ydrant, with 45 pounds pressure be- hind it?
 Theory says "No"; pract. Ge in this case has registered a great Mig "Yes' :; in fact the test showed that the steamer, sucking it's water 0 Ut of the Pequonnock river squirted 5 gallons a minute into the air more than the same steamer, taking the w;lter out of a hydrant with big pressures behind
 Chief Mooney and other m smbers and officials of the departmen who witnessed the test cannot fully e. kplain the result To make sure that there was no mistake about it, the samet test will be made again with the gre; atest care.
 When the water was being pun ped from the hydrant, the gauge betw cen the hydrant and the engine showeds 15 pounds pressure when the pun IDS were working their hardest, demo n strating that the hydrant was at sNl times delivering water faster than tn e engine could take it.
 On. the other hand, when the engin ? was sucking water out of the river, i, the pumpst had to lift the water fully 10 feet before it entered the cylinders. Clearly it requires more work to throw this water into the air; yet the engine performed the operation with facility and delivered 15 gallons a minute more then when taking the water from the hydrant.

MAYOR RECEIVES
 UNEXPECTED CHEERS

Mayor Buckingham has received many favorable concentrations be- cause of the stand he has taken on the Sunday observance question, but never one which he felt the better for than that received last evening. With his family, the Mayor took an auto trip to Savin Rock. In Stratford the Mayor alighted beneath an electric light to set his auto lights. Stratford youngsters crave for excitement, and the sight of an automobile drawn up to the curb with a man in a duster tinkering with the lights, was just enough to break the monotony. The Mayor had arranged the lights, had stepped back into his car and was prepared to go ahead, when one lit tie youngster stepped in front of the car, and waving his hat over his head, yelled out as hard as his true Amer ican lungs would permit, Three cheers sor Sunday baseball Stratford was all agog with the tumult the young sters> raised. Even the kiddes in staid old Stratford can assert them selves.

Mir. Flint Tells What ''Enticing"
 Employees Means

S. H. Flint. manager of the Postal Telegraph Company's office in this city, said today, speaking of the saccu- sation made by his company that other telegraph companies have been "en- ticing" Postal employees: This does not mean simply that the other conn pany comes to our men and offers them higher wages. It means that promo tions and higher wages which ought to go to men in the other service are given to men in our service solely to impair our organization and break up our system, or learn it. Tn fact" con- tinued MT. Flint, "the practice became so bad that our rivals were forced to discontinue it. or face a labor trouble within their organization. since their own men, entitled to promotion would not submit to seeing men brought in from the outside purely to injure g. business competitor''

WHEN IS A LIQUOR SALE NOT A LIQUOR SALE, IS
 QUERY OF JUDGE FOSTER
.When it's Sold Club Like the University Club Said Attorney Stoddard-"Nothing at All Like it" is the Rejonder
 of Luuor Prosecutor Greenstein

penses liquor as we do'
 He argued that the courts of Mas sachusetts and New York have upheld
 the clubs, and that in the absence of a ruling from Rhode Island these States neighbors where the same con- dftions prevail as here, ought to serve as guides for the Connecticut courts.
 Attorney John c. Chamberlain wit tily reviewed the progress of excise legislation in Connecticut. He pie tured the days when every little gro- cery and every tavern had it's hard cider and New England rum, and it's wines for those who were more par ticular, without any license require ments. Then he told of the advent of Father Mathew, the great apostle of total abstinence and of the spread of his doctrine like flood throughout New England. The excise laws were enacted. But there were no clubs then. said he, and the statutes never contemplated such organizations when the laws were passed. The clubs in a way partake of the nature of the home, he said.
 He added that while there was no doubt that the Legislature could en- act laws prohibiting the handling of intoxicahts in clubs, it must be talk en for granted that since these condi- tions have prevailed for years, and no such laws have been enacted in this State though other States have enacted them, the Legislature of Connecticut has no desire to carry the law to such an extreme as to prevent the distri- button of liquor among members.
 The defence further argued that the University club in dispensing liquor to members, charging them for the same, does not do so with the idea of making profit. The members are charged in proportion to the quantity of intoxicants they use, for it would be manifestly unfair to make those who did not use any share in the cost of the liquor consumed. and the menl- bers of the club receive no benefit in a financial way from the maintenance of the bar. except that the revunue from that source is devoted to the general funds of the club.
 Judge Foster pointed out that this is the first club case in which there has arisen the question of what con- stitutes a sale and that in prior cases there had been a sale admitted He was unwilling to act hurriedly, and for that reason he continued the case for two weeks. He told the counsel that if he hasn't prepared a decisicn by June 29 he will notify them of a further continuance.

Special from United Press.)

Havana, June 15-The after deck and port turret of the wrecked bat tleship Maine were expected to be revealed at the conclusion of tOday's pumping from the cofferdam sur rounding the wreck. The engines were set to work again, today, and the in- tention was to keep them pumping un- til the water in the cofferdam had been lowered 10 feet.
