ENGLAND TO SEEK
 ORIGIN OF BOGUS REPORTS OF SAFETY
Indignant Over Mondays Dis, patches Saying That the
 Titanic Was Safe
LlOydS Was Victimized = Rein Surance Rates Fell From
 60 to 30 GuineaS

London, April 19.-Efforts are be- ing made to elucidate certain myster- ious circYmstances attending the loss of the Titanic, chief among which are the bogus dispatches last Monday stat ing that the liner was proceeding un- der her own steam to Halifax.
 Notice of the question to the Post been given in the House of Com bons, and at the same time Lloyds is conducting an investigation to deter mine the origin of the alleged radio grams received in New York, on the strength of which reinsurance rates on the Titanic fell from sixty to thir- ty guineas per cent.
 The White Star officials in England repudiate the criticism that the pulp lie were kept in the dark regarding the fate of the Titanic, stating that from the first they gave out all the news available. The company's re- ply adds:
 .'The earlier messages gave little indication to trace their origin, and were filled in by the imagination of irresponsible individuals seeking to supply news at all costs"
 Severe denunciations have been made in many quarters of those res- show that the Titanic was safe after the collision. These must have been pure inventtons,'' says The Times, 'and inventions of cruel and heart, less kind. Unfortunately, America is full of amateur wireless telegra- phists who have put up their own in stallations. Some of these men are held responsible for the bogus mes- sages.'
 MT. Isaacs, Chairman of the Mar conf company, bitterly complains of the interference to which Marconi operators have been subjected by out side unrecognized stations. He adds that this unfortunate state of affairs will soon be remedied. Another Mar conf official said yesterday:
 Amateur wireless telegraphists arc in a position to send out any message they like in America, for there is no law dealing with them. They can interfere with messages, and the Ma wy Department has been troubled greatly by their having done so. There is no law that will deal with these operators.
 Tn Great Britain nobody is allow ed to put up a wireless installation unless with the consent of the Post master General, and it must be used for experimental purposes alone. The proprietor of an installation must be licensed, and he is only allowed to work upon regulations laid down by the Postmaster General. If he tried to break away in any other direction detection would follow at once.
 Bogus messages can be traced, and the offender would be dealt with un- happily. That is not the case in the United States"

Jack Phillips His Name Will
 Live Forever re:
Wireless Operator on Titanic Stuck to His Key Until the Instrument Was Rem
 dered Useless

New York, April 19-At the very head of the list of wireless heroes must be placed the name of John George Phillips, the young English man who was in charge of the wire less room on the ill-fated Titanic and who paid with his life the price of his falthrulness to duty. Phillips was at iceberg and "broke her back His assistant, Harold Bride, had just got ten out of bed to relieve him and was standing beside Phillips, clad in his pajamas, when they both felt a slight Jar A moment later Captain Smith came 10 the door of the wireless room and told Phillips that the ship had struck an iceberg and the extent of the damage was being ascertained.
 You may have to send out the call for assistance" said the captain as he left. In 10 minutes he was back. He told Phillips to send the call for help of the International Code. The two wireless operators stood laughing and joking as Phillips flashed the call, having no idea they were in any real danger. The Carpathia soon answer ed and Phillips sent Bride to tell the captain that she was coming to help them.
 was found in the wireless room of the Carpathia when she docked. helping the Carpathia's oVerworked operator 'I slipped an overcoat onto Phillips, too, and for some time I ran back and forth between him and Captain Smith with messages. The wireless kept growing weaker and weaker as the water got into the engine. rooms and flooded the dynamos. But there re- mained some current and Phillips stuck to his key.

STAMFORD
gSTIh SECTIONS DO NOT
 NEED PUMPING STATIONS.
tShow Me'' People Make the Claim That They Can Be Drained With out Entering the Pumping
 District.
(Special to The Farmer.)

EStratford, April 19-The "show me people" were active again last night when a large number of men were called to the Center by the different meetings and entertainments. The coming meeting of the sewer district on Monday night was the general sub 1ect of conversation. The Man from Hisgouri'', which is the hill country about the town. continued his conver- sa ton. He said: "I don't see why the people on the high ground need be connected with a pumping station Sf all our sewage. Why should the .ewage be taken to the low grounds and then pumped up again by power, when there Is power enough running tp waste on the high grounds to take oare not only of the sewage of that section but of the whole town? Why should we up on the hills be forced into a district which we do not natur- ally belong to? There is fall enough to allow 8 tank at Hollister Heights and another in the north end of the town which could be treated after the 0lan proposed and then the water be drawn off into the Sound or river after t Is purified. I think the sewer ex- pert win say that this plan is feas- fbIe If he is asked. It seems to me that the committee has departed from the plan proposed by its own expert. He said the town could be divided in- to four districts, two of which at least could be operated on the gravity plan. At least that is the way several of us nave understood the matter. I think we are going ahead too fast in this
 matter and that we have allowed our selves to be led by the nose again in the same old fashion. I think there should be more public meetings so that everyone in the town could understand the matter and not allow a few men representing one section of the town to get together on the quiet and make the pills, expecting us to swallow them Now is the time to act before any work has been done. The committee ought to be enlarged and have members from all the sec tions of the town. I believe that we ought to have more public meetings
 The Board of Trade may be a good
 thing for the town but it is a private

another on Phillips. He was talk ing. to the Olympic and telling her how desperate our plight was when Captain Smith came and told us we had done all We could. and for us to look out for ourselves.
 ''But Phillips stayed at his post. The water came up around his legs but he stuck at his key, trying to reach any ship he could to get out every cali for help that he could pos sibly send. It must have been 10 min utes anyway after the captain releas- ed him before the current gave out and he had to quit.
 "I had gone out to see what chance We had of getting into a boat, and just as I came back for him a man from below was trying to take of his back the life preserver had put on him. I laid the man out, and Phil- lips and ran aft We separated and I never saw him alive again. I'll never forget his sticking to that key with the water washing his legs when the captain himself had told him to save himself. He would have stuck longer if he had been able to send anything"
 Bride was saved in one of the last boats that left the Titanic, and after a few hours rest on the Carpathia he turned in and helped her operator send and receive the flood of messages that deluged the rescue ship.

that the town has voted to change to electricity, would 1t not be a good thing to do little Investigating ? Westport has its own lighting plant and has made a success of it. The Coach Lace Company in Bridgeport has it's own lighting plant and it costs the company $17 per month for 800 lights aside from the salaries. A sixty horse power engine runs the plant Any one can go over and see the plant. MT. Naramore will show anyone interested just what it costs. We hill folks are going into that meet ing and find out just what is up. Every effort to down the gang in the past has failed, but we hope to get some information anyway if we can't accomplish anything. We want every voter in the district to be present at that meeting Monday night and lis ten even if he does not want to vote with us.''

 At the masquerade ball given by Lilley Camp of Woodmen, last night, characters historical comical and al- legorical mixed together and enjoyed one of the jolliest dances of the sea- son. A feature of the evening was the revival of the old time square dances which everyone present en- joyed thoroughly. The Virginia reel, lanciers and quadrilles were on the dance program. Arthur Dennison's s Stratford orchestra furnished accept able music. Joseph Meller, as Ply mouth Rock rooster was awarded first prize. Mrs. F. Smith as a two faced woman, Mrs. Charles Swietz as a gypsie, and Charles Roselle, comic, were also awarded prizes.
 The lights under the railroad via duct at Main street have been dark for three nights this week and there is considerable complaint. It is diff1- cult for the Connecticut Company to keep lights there for vandals continue to break the bulbs as fast as they are put in and destroy the connection by pulling on the wires.

 The dance given by Bayne and Crooms at Red Mems hall, last night, was a revelation to outsiders who took pains to look into the hall. Over 50 couples in as fine costumes as were ever seen in the hall took part, and the affair was conducted in a manner which reflects great credit on the pro- moters. The decorations arranged for

F. A. SEAMAN
ON PAVEMENTS
Ventures into Politics in Ad-
dress Last Night.

Alderman F. A. Seaman, the DEM
ocratic representative from the sec
ond ward, addressed the members Of
the Young Mems Republican Club
last night on street pavements. The
attendance was extremely small, as
compared with previous meetings.
There we're about forty voters pres
ent whereas the usual attendance is
about seventy-dve men. 1t was the
first time In the history Of many
politicians that Democratic Office
holder addressed a Republican club,
and there was much speculation on
the success of the venture.
In his opening remarks, Alderman
Seaman ventured on to political
ground when he gave a decided i'm
petus to the boom of Garret Brod-
head. the Democratic nominee for
mayor. Mr.. Seaman praised Acting
Mayor Ferd Garretson, who Is the
Republican candidate, and also said
a good word for Mr.. Brodhead. In
discussing the situation, OF two good
men as candidates, Mr. Seaman said ::
'I think the best interests of the
city will be served If we get both
men. 1t is hardly a fair shot for
my young friend on the left (ndicat-
| ing Mr.. Garretson), but it is belief
| that my conscience dictates" Dur.
Ing the remainder Of his talk. Mr.
Seaman refrained from any political
discussion.
1t is Mr.. Seaman's opinion that the
city should 60 slow on street pave
ment, and not endanger the credit
by issuing bonds for work, which
although necessary, can be delayed
until the city can safely meet the
expenditure. He said that he has AT.
teen petitions for street pavements
in his pocket at this time, but will
act discriminatory in his recommen-
dations. The alderman is confident
that tho tax rate will keep going up
regardless OF the turn of the election
on November 8, because the city if
growing and improvements must be
made in keeping with same. DOL
arway" pavement, properly laid, II
the most practical surface dressing
for this city Mr.. Seaman believes.
Acting Mayor Garretson talked or
, his creed, which he issued year age
during his candidacy for alderman
at-large and informed the member,
/ that many OF his voluntary promises
! at that time had been kept during
his administration. He spoke in ia

New Brunswick. Oct. 24.--The
In the case Of Hugh ]. Gallagher. of
Perth Amboy. against the Coast Gas
Company for $4,000 damages. re-
turned a verdict late yesterday af-
ternoon for $1,000. This was the
first suit tried here this term under
the new practice act the action hav-
ing been started after July 4, when
the new law went into effect. Mr..
Gallagher sued a. administrator Of
the estate OF his brother, William
Gallagher, who was killed at Bel
mar while riding on the tender OF
an engine.
It was shown that the only person
who would have received any benefit
from the income of the man killed
was his father, Hugh Gallagher.
He is 6S years old and the jury had
to solve how much he would have
received from his son and how long
he was likely to live. Counsel for the
defense argued that the biblical age
was three score years and ten,
which would give two more years.
The plaintiff held he would probably
live longer.
