ing squadron of LocomobiIe auto chemicals. Since the installation of and quench them in their 1ncipency, Bridgeport's fire loss has been steadily dropping.
 The present report of Chief Mooney is not his annual and official report to the City of Bridgeport. which is not made until the end of March 1st, and therefore the present report is not comparable with last years report, which included three months of 1911.
 Taking the figures as a whole, how ever, it may be seen that the loss from fire in Bridgeport during 1911 was almost exactly half of the loss
 The total loss was s56, ,4O4.16 and on this sum, the insurance paid was s52,- 7O4.16.
 The total value of the property in claim for loss was made, was $3,441,- O24 26. The total insurance on this property was $2,776. .523 84.
 The insurance paid included $35,07S. .76 on build 'ngs and $1I ,625.40 on contents
 The to al loss Ensured and uninsur- ed) was $S5,35O.26 on buildings and $21,- O5390 on contents, grand total of S56, ,4O4.16.
 Of this total loss $5s s2s.o1 repre- sents the loss on buildings and con tents where fires originated,-i. e., di- rect losses; the remaining loss of S2.- 4S1. 15 came upon buildings and con tents in which fires did not originate, i. e., exposure losses
 There were 421 alarms of fire in- cluding 13 false alrams. There were e fires in stone buildings. 227 in wood en buildings, and 114 outside of build ings. Of these fires. 4O6 were con- fined to their place of origin; one ex- tended to adjoining buildings. and one extended beyond adjoining buildings.
 Out of the total of building fires, 2S9 were confined to the floors on which they originated.
 The forst fire of the year was in the Trubee warehouse on Water street in which the loss was $14.0OO

Chief Executive Of Nation Believes Constitution Is Being Violated And Will Act On Congressman Berger's Suggestion
Senator POindeNer Says Conditions Are Worse Than They Ever Were During The Darkest Days Of Russia

CTS Boer campaign, in which the British Empire extfnguished the lib- erty of a people by starving their wo- men and children The manner in which the order was carried out in Lawrence, the rough handling of wo- men and children and throwing them struggling into jail, all without war rant or even the forms of law, forci- ply reminded one of Russian and Turkish brutalities to Jews and Ar menians. The fact that such a thing occurred in America is startling and shows how far out institutions have been degraded by. avarice.
 The women and children were per fectly peaceabIe when they were for cibly stopped in their attempt to board a railroad train. In some in stances they were cursed and abused by the police, dragged by force to a patrol wagon, the women thrown into jail and the children incarcerated at the poor farm. The police claim that these people did not have the right to send their children in the care of friends to other cities is simply ridi- culous. They have the same right to do so that anyone has.
 The true significance of this pro- ceedinE is not simply it's effect on these people but it is an assault upon the rights of every American citizen. good many eu!os1es Of the constI- tuition are heard nowadays. This. af- lords an opportunity to test their genuinen eSs. If crowds of peaceabiS people can be assaulted by officials
 
 and incarcerated without any charge of violation of law being made or sustained against them, instead of be- ing a constitutional government of liberty under law, it becomes one of money and force and people, there fore, will be compelled to adjust themselves to this new condition.
 It is of the most vital significance. If in exercising the right to the peaceful pursuit of their domestic af- fairs these people can be arrested without warrant and without any evil dence that they have violated the law then all of us are liable to be treated in the same way whenever it suits the interests Of those having the phy- sical power to do SO. If we can be confined in this way within the city we can also be deported forcibly from the city when it is desireable for these astonishing authorities to do so.
 If these people can be forcibly kept in Lawrence at the pleasure of tho mill owners, to work at starvation wages or starve, then they are in reality slaves and it is not esirable for any of us that slavery should be re-established in this country.

I have talked with Q, great many Democrats and great many Republicans throughout the State, as to business and financial conditions Of the country, ana very TGW or NAOSS whom I have talked with lay any mplaint at President Tafts door charging him with responsibility in any way for the present depressed condition of business.
 There may be some things that he could have done differently with an other result on the business world, but nevertheless the people I have pIetes his work the country will be on better and stronger financial basis.''
 John T. King, who enjoys the repu- tation of dominating Republican con- ventions at will, made his Illuminating statement:
 sI have nothing to say.''
 Fred Enos, collector of customs, said he would be glad to give the Farmer a little talk on new factories or i'm dustrial conditions hereabouts, but he didn't care to take up the subject under discussion.
 Postmaster Marigold reminded the Farmer that President Taft is his chief, and that it might be regarded as impolitic if he were to discuss the matter.

 The government engineer was orig insily represented as having delivered an ultimatum to the city of Bridge port threatening to pass through the city without even speaking to it
 But he is not such a bold, bad man after all, according to his own state ment.
 Here is his letter to Mayor Wilson. relative to the strengthening of the abUtments of the East Washington avenue bridge:
 ''In reply to your letter Of February favenue bridge, I have the honor to advise you that perhaps the state n1ent which you quote in the last part of your letter is a little strong, or gives you an impression entirely diff ferent from what I intend to do.

 HE IS A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT
New York, Feb. 24, 1912.

Gentlemen: deeply appreciate your letter, and realize to the full the heavy responsibility it puts upon me, expressing does the carefully sidered convictions of the men elected by popular vote to stand the heads of government in their several states.
 I absolutely agree with you that this matter is not to be decided with any reference to the per sonal preferences interests of any man, but pure y from the standpoint of the interests of the people as a whole.
 will accept the nomination for President if it is rendered to me, and will adhere to this decision til the convention has expressed it's preference.
 One of the chief principles for which have stood, and for which now stand and which have always endeavored and always shall endeavor to duce to acton is the genuine rule of the people; and therefore I hope that far possible the people may be given the chance through direct primaries to express their preference to who shall be the inee of the Republican Presidential Convention.
 Very truly yours,

fspecial from Limited Pressl }

Especial from United Press)
 Washington, Feb. 26-Prompt re- sponse came from Washington, today, to the cries of distress of women and children in Lawrence, Mass.
 President Taft, believing that the constitution was being violated, told Representative Berger he will act. He will immediately take the matter up with Attorney General Wickersham. It is said the government investiga- tors will probe the entire situation.
 Congress also prepared to act quick ly. Chairman Henry, of the rules committee, said he will give a hearing on the Berger probe resolution. It is expected this will be so amended that the entire situation, the clubbing of men, women and children, and the refusal to permit the transfer of chill dren to new homes, will be investigat- ed.
 In the Senate, Poindexter, of Wash ington, back, today, from a trip to Lawrence, was expected to press de mands for a probe and back up that plea with startling information which he gathered personally.
 Chairman Wilson, of the House La bor Committee, today, said that he would have to postpone action until he received 9 report from the Cover nor of Massa chusettS.

With a. total loss of but $56, ,4O4, or about 50 cents per capita, Bridgeport suffering but little from fire during 1911 and it is believed that Bridge ports record is without exception the best of any city in the state
 The report of Fire Marshal Edward Mooney to the national board of fire underwriters of the losses for the year ending Dec. 31, 1911, shows that Bridgeport's loss during that period was just half of the loss for the year preceding. It is believed that the figures will place Bridgeport among the front rank of the cities of the United States, for small fire loss.
 Asked to what factor he attributed this remarkable showing, Fire Chief Mooney replied, Good luck The the splendid work of his department in keeping the fire loss to such q small figure.
 Those who are in touch with the part of the credit upon the shoulders of Chief Mooney. Under his admin isration as head of the fire depart ment that organization has been as a fire fighting machine ever at tained by a department of it's size in the country, as attested by Bridge ports remarkably small fire losses.
 In hlS capaclty as fire marshal, Chief Mooney personally has done great work in eliminating the causes of blazes. When not engaged in ac- tive work connected with his duties as head of the department Chief Mooney spends all his time in inspect ing building, storehouses. tenements, cellars. etc, pointing out danger of fire from various causes, ordering the construction of fire escapes where necessary and carrying on campaign of education for the prevention of fires.
 Another great feature in the reduc- ton of fire losses Is Bridgeport's fly

But He Came Here in Spite of Threats and is Ready For ExpulSiOn-MOneyF For

Enthusiasm ran high, when Will jam D. Haywood mounted the plat form in the Lyric Theatre, last night where he spoke on behalf of the striking mill operators in Lawrence Mass.
 He was received with an appaluse such as orly one other Socialist agi- tator is l-ccustomed to get, and that is Eugene V. Debs-

 Haywood said: 'Pm glad to be in Bridgeport tonight for two reasons.

 '1nasmuch as the Socialist Party IS the party of the working class I do not quite see how I can be expelled from my class"
 Haywood then told of the struggle referred to, what he termed the ner- ciless greed and exploitation of the mill owners, of the brutality of the militia and the police, and all other authorities in Lawrence, and when he made his appeal for funds for the Lawrence strikers every man and wo- man in the audience, responded with the mogt striking generosity. Dy naan, q Socialist writer and lecturer, made a ringing speech, in which he called the working class to action against wage slavery, and Luigi Galeanni spoke in Italian and was ap- .plauded yigoriously by those who un- derstood that language, and also by those who could only understand his remarkable personality and expres-
