Fire Chief Edward Mooney was proved to be a true prophet, and someone who neglected his warning is sorry today. thanks to an expensive and exceedingly dangerous fire which started at 2:SO o'clock this morning in the ship chandlery store of Hub bell and Wade at 506 Water street ana spread through a hole in a A men brick partition to the wholesale gro cery store of David Trubee & Co. at 4es Water street, next door
 The damage to the Hubbell x Waoe store is between $500 and $500 on the stock and probably $500 to 1000 on the building covered by insurance.
 On the Trubee store the loss IS rom ss f,O0 to s10,OOO on the stock ana a considerable sum. probably several thousand on the building. It IS ohiy nartially covered by insurance.
 The whole loss in the Trubee store may be laid to someone's neglect or Chief Mooney's emphatic warning tQ close I'D the hole in the brick partition between the two buildings.
 The fire started as small blaze m the loft of Hubbell & Wade store. It snread through the hole in the wall fa the upper story of the Trubee huilding and made great bonfire or fhe inflammable material there. so fierce were the flames there that As sistant Chief Jacob Horkhelmer: Wno fs in charge of the department III the oh.ence of Chief Mooney, caused a general alarm to be rung in. Chief Horkheimer did this as precaut1on- arv measure, because of the dangerous locality of the blaze, with an oil store near by and a number of buildings in close proximity. While only two lines of hose were used on the blaze, CnieI TorEheirner called out enough addi- fional apparatus to turn a perfect flood on the building. should the ire show signs of getting away rom US fighters.

Money Trust Is
 Peril To Country
 Says Untermeyer
Special from Tinted Press, ,

Paris, Sept. 7-Pointing to the money trusts as the greatest peril that the United States has to face, Samuel Un- termeyer, the New York lawyer, on the eve of his departure for home, to- day, talked of the problems which confront the American nation
 He declared that restrictions must be placed upon the money power while there is yet time to correct them
 He believes the time is past when a complete remedy for the trust prob lem was possible under the United States government. Action against the concentration of money power must come quickly if it is to afford relief, he said. It is, today, recog- nized in American financial circles that meritorious and profitable en- terprise with even millions of capital has no chance of success if it inter- feres with any enterprise controlled by allied Or banking interests, said MT. Untermeyer.

W. B. Hill Estate Comes Close To
 Half A Million
Railroad Stocks His Best Investments = Not So Fortunate on.Mining Ven lures.

2 Falling somewhat short of the half million mark the inventory of the es- tate of William B. Hill, former pro- prietor of tho Hull Coal Co.,, was ad- mitted to probate today. The estate inventories at $429, ,sS53e, which is di- vided, $3S4, 4,010.36 in personal property and $45,975 in real estate. At the time of Mr. Hill's death it was esti- mated thalt his holdings would come within the $4O0, ,OOO and $500 ,0OO mark
 MT. Hill delved extensively in stocks and bonds and at his death owned considerable stock in the best paying enterprises, principally in the railroad corporations. Though he was suc- cessful in securing the best railroad stocks, fortune refused to smile on him when he took a chance on mining propositions. The inventory shows that many thousands of stocks in va rious mining companies are worth less
 He was the owner of the Franklin block at Main. and State streets, on which there is a mortgage of $90, 900 and in which he had an equity of $35,- 600. The coal company property fn- ventories at $10,000, but this is cov- cred by mortgage Other real estate holdings in this city and Fairfield brings the valuation of his real estate up to $45,975.
 Some of his best railroad holdings are 800 shares Chesapeake & Ohio, $40, 800; 302 shares Western Union, $23,- TOT; 133 shares Union Pacific, $16,698; 48 shares N Y., N. H. & H., $6,720; 100 shares Chicago St. Paul, Minne- sota & Omaha, s14,O0O; 300 shares N. r., Chicago & St. Louis, ST, 400; 1000 shares Erie, preferred, $59,S75. In the First Bridgeport National bank MT. Hill held Al shares valued at $8,815.
 Those worthless mining stocks in- cluded 10000 shares in the Green Mountain Mining Co, 4,000 shares in the Scotia Mining Co, and 5000 shares in the Nancy Gale Mining and Tunnel Go
 MT. Hill left will in which his holdings are equally divided among his widow, his daughter, Mary Eliza beth Cook, of Woolaston, Mass, and his son, Louis w. Hill, of this city, There are also payments of $1OO per month both to the widow and the daughter. He left S1,5OO for a lot and monument at Mountain Grove cemetery, and $200 to the cemetery association.

Inventions Will i. Be Exhibited Al
 Photo Convention
Novel Feature is Planned to Encourage Workers in
 This Line

Among the many novel features planned for the convention of the Prctc graphers associs ton of New England at Steeplechaeo Island rext u eek is tne plan te ho d an exhi5i- { ton of inventions. To encourage in !yentions as applied to photographic work the executive committee has arr ranged for a free display of any n sw and novel device of interest to photo graphers. Only two rules have been made to cover this new and interest { ing feature: 1. The inventorfs shall become members of the association. 2. The device or process shall not be actually upon the market as manu- The object of this separate and dis | tinct exhibition is primarily to bring [ the photographic inventors directly in touch with the manufacturers, and as 1 this city is such great manufactur- ng center, offering splendid oppor- tunities for the promotion or new ] business enterprises, it is particularly appropriate that this feature should be started here.
 Another important part of the con- vention will be the dem onstration by members of the staff of honorary vice presidents appointed by President Garo. This list of vice presidents m cludee many names famous through out the country in the annals Of photography, and they will give to the members the benefit of their ex- perience and advice in picture mak- ing. This feature no doubt will be greatly appreciated by the individual Photographers.
 There will also be demonstrations by the representatives of every im- portant manufacturer in the country.
 A large tent will be devoted entirely to this purpose and ample oppOrtun- ity will be given the manufacturers to demonstrate all new and improved processes for the making of photo graphs. C. S. Cochran, of this city, is in charge of the preparations for this feature of the convention.
 Due to the large number of people expected from out of town the com mittee on transportation have been able to secure a reduced fare. A rate
 of one fare and three-ffths has been
 granted applying to all fares costing more than seventy-f1ve cents or more for a single single to this city.
 First Vice-President F. A. Frizell, George H. Hastings, secretary, and William Armstrong, arrived in this
 city last evening as the advance
 guard of the executive committee hav-
 ing in eharge the various arrange
 ments for the convention. The re- maining members of the committe will come to Bridgeport on Saturday.
 Vice President Frizell is in direct
 charge of the arrangement of the ex-
 hibits and he has a large task to per
 form as the collection from all parts
 of the country have been coming in In large numbers for the past month
 or more, in fact to such an extent
 that there is no longer any doubt
 that the exposition at the island will \ jff many respect4 exceed anything of
 The kind ever shown in the country.

JUDGE WILDER GIVES LIMIT TO
 PAIR OF LIARS
Grin and Admit Falsehood When Witness Traps
 Them

William White and Joseph Madden, arrested at the railroad station at midnight on complaint of trainmen who charged them with beating their way on baggage car from New York city, found lodging the truth a costly affair for them in the city court to- day.
 They were arrested by Patrloman Williams. They were charged with having attached themselves to a car without permission, an offence that carries a maximum jail sentence of 30 days.
 When arraigned in court they de- nled having come to the city by the lettering about the station and that Patrolman Williams was in error when he arrested them.
 He was sore because I told him he was all right in his ways but he didn't weigh much. He punched me trunk" said Madden. He couldn't show any marks from his supposed punching.
 The two testified that they came to Bridgeport by boat, reached here about g o'clock and paid 50 cents fare. This was at variance with the boat schedule and rates. Still they protested they were telling the truth until a trainman, who hurried here from New Haven to testify, appeared in the court room, took the witness stand and identified them as a pair he had warned to be careful and to leave the train as soon as it reached the city.
 The pair then grinned from the prisoners pen and admitted they had been lying.
 If you had told the truth I would have fined you s5 and you could have gone home,' said Judge Wilder Then he imposed a fine of $1 and costs on each and sentenced them to jail for 30 days. They said they lived in 24th street, New York city

RAISING GOOD FORAGE CROPS
Jersey Station, Says They In
clude Alfalfa and Corn.

DR.. e. B. Voorhees,, director OF the
New Jersey experiment station, speak.
ing recently on forage crops. includ.
ing alfalfa, referred to some of the mis-
takes made by farmers in buying
feed. In some kinds there is not only
the lack Of the desirable but there is
the presence CO injurious elements.
The economy OF homegrown foods
was taken up and comparison made
between them and some of the feeds
purchased The conclusions of the
whole matters were:
First-That In the growth of forage
crops the farmer gets feed two or
three times cheaper and Of better
quality than in buying the best con-
centrated feeds.
Second-That the growth of forage
crops builds up the soil instead of de.
plotting 1t.
Third-That the crops to raise are
alfalfa. oats, corn and peas.
In connection with this It was
shown that 1t is possible to produce
continuous supply of green food
throughout the season, and that 3h
cows can be kept to the acre.

Land for Apples.

The best land for apples in this
section is such as has been cultivated
and plowed regularly for two years
at least. 1t should receive dressing
of about IL tons stable manure every
three years. Unslacked lime should
also be applied every four years at
the rate of about 80 bushels to the
acre, says writer in the Baltimore
American. About 500 pounds to the
acre of commercial fertilizer. per
cent. nitrogen. 10 per cent. phos-
phorus and Z per cent. potash, are also
advisable. My orchard has done best
when intercepted with some such
legume as crimson or common clover
or cowpeas sown about midsummer.
During the early part of the season 1t
Is kept cultivated Apples throughout
this section do best on wcll-drained
clay loan. So started they attain a
better color and size than on lighter
