DISASTROUS FIRE SWEEPS NORWICH
Loss to Merchants May Reach $3OO,OOO -- Coal Pockets Still SmOlder
Man Burned to Crisp May be Irresponsible Cause of Own Holocaust

Norwich, Aug. 29.-One man was burned to death and $300,O00 worth of property destroyed in fire which swept over Central Wharf, early to- day. The wharf burned to the wa ters edge and the buildings of the Edward Chappell Coal & Lumber Company, John A. Morgan & Son, coal dealers, Peck, McWilliams x Company, dealers in contractors sup plies, went up in flames. The heaVl- est loss is by the Chappell company, whose estimate is $150.000.
 The fire started in small ottlce building of the Chappell Company and it was near the entrance to thls that the charred body of man was found. His head was burned to crisp and there seems to be no means of Identification. One of the watch men said he saw the man evidently intoxicated lying in the spot where he was found, early last night. AL though the origin of the fire has not been ascertained, it is believed that the burned man was responsible for it.
 The fire is still burning in the coal pockets of the wharf and will prob- ably continue for several days.

ARRESTS FOLLOWS NEW HAVEN KOSHER
 MARKET RIOTING Italians of Elm City Report ed Ready to Follow Elk
 ample of Jews Bill Taft, New Haven Fish erman, Is Mobbed By Angry Consumers, Who Believe He Betrayed Them.

New Haven, Aug. 29-The Jewish anti-high price meat riots still con tinue and today three arrests were made This makes five thus far and warrants are out for four more. As sault and breach of peace are charg- ed. Ball was placed at $500 each.
 It was rumored today that the Ital- ian residents of the city would start similar demonstrations Monday. A meeting has been called at which the matter will be definitely settled.
 The man to fare the worst today was "Bill Taft, a ffshman. He was assigned by the committee in charge of the crusade to buy up all the chick ems he could and sell them at the low est price, doing a hourishing business A man in the crowd said he had bought them of the boycotted butch CTS and the next "BiIl" knew he was out in the middle of the street being pounded by as many of 500 men and women as could reach him. The crowd also got Harry Harrowitz in trouble. A woman purchased a chicken and another tried to take It away from her. Harrowitz went to his customers assistance in a Sociable manner and had to be pried off by a policeman A mob of a thousand bowling women followed him to the police station.
 The others arrested were David Weinstein and Dina Ravkch. When the latter was arrested, she asked the officer in charge of her to wait until she could ge. another woman to watch the butcher shop. The officer said he was in hurry and couldn't. comply with her request.

NEW INDUSTRY TO LOCATE HERE Electrical Concern Will Elm ploy Several Hundred
 Men PLANS FOR $7o,oO0 FACTORY BUILDINGS Head of Company Explains How Plant Game to Se-.
 lect Bridgeport

The increasing popularity of Bridge port as an industrial center and the east end of the city in particular is again evidenced by the addition of a new factory to be erected at the cor Ter of Connecticut and Florence ave nues by the Connecticut Electrical Manufacturing Co.,~of Bantam, Conn, at cost of $70;000.
 Plans already devised by the Fetch CT Engineering Company of this city call for four buildings to cover an area. of 50,000 square feet and agree ments have been entered into whereby the new concern is obligated to be in operation not later than Dec. 1, 1912 It is estimated that the new indus try now employing over 150 people will double it's capacity in this city
 To a reporter of the Farmer, A. H. Trumbull, president of the Connecti- cut Electrical Manufacturing Co.,, to- day said: Our company has been in existence for six years past manufac- turing electrical supplies of all kinds We have been located at Bantam where we have absorbed all the labor that could be obtained We have been unable to secure enough hands to fill our orders often being compelled to refuse contracts. At the present time We cOulu use 0U IaOf0 ndnQS Indn we have.
 Many hattering offers have been made to us by different cities in the state, especially Norwich, but the fa- cilities offered by Bridgeport far ex- eel anything that we have seen and the courtesy extended by the local Board of Trade coupled with the in- defatigable efforts of Fred Enos, who has left no stone unturned to smooth our way here, has greatly influenced our selection of Bridgeport as our new home.''
 The factory, excavations for which are now in progress will be a three story main building, of brick, with modern sprinkler and individual mo- tor transmission systems throughout. It will be L-shaped to surround small CT buildings for steam plant, lacquer ing and stabling departments. A spur track from the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad has already been arranged to extend to the buildings when erected
 The Connecticut Electrical Manufac- turing company is under the guidance of President Trumbull and his three brothers, Isaac, George and James and offices have been established in Chicago as we'll as the Pacific coast. The industry is undoubtedly a boon to Bridgeport.

e s 4 2 ROOSEVELT PLEADS FOR VERMONT VOTE. Admits That He Personally
 Is the, Issue of Present
 Y Campaign Opponents Willing That
 Country Should Suffer
 Anything If Only He Is Defeated.

Bennington, Vt, Aug. 29.-Directiy. appealing for votes because of the ad- mitted peculiar relation between the result here and the coming general lelection, Colonel Roosevelt took, the stump personally, today, to ask the voters to elect the progressive state ticket. Incidentally, Roosevelt took occasion to renew his verbal attack on John D. Archbold, of the Standard Oil Company, Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and to repeat his con tentions that he and his party rep resent the Simon-pure Republicans of the nation. Roosevelt appealed es-s pecially to the younger voters in the crowd. He said he felt in finest fettle. He considers Wilson his only real opponent for the presidency.
 Vermont has led in the past" he shouted, '1et her lead now. Jim Wat son, of Indiana, is coming here to speak against me. He was one of the mechanics of the steamroller at Chi cago and he admitted that the roller should split the Republican party but he insisted that it would still carry Vermont. But it won't. The aim of Watson and his associates is to beat me rather than to win at the cleo tion. They are willing that any dis aster shall come to the country if they can only peat the men WnO are striving to restore to the people their own government.
 We are fighting the alliance be- tween crooked business and crooked politics. Penrose and Archbold trump up and admit what we charge. Pen rose hasn't a chance to carry Penn- sylvania for the Repuglican party. All he wants is to beat the progressiveS there in the interest of his old Re- publican machine. Penrose and Arch bold told their story before the Senate Investigating committee. Then the standpatters on that committee per- mitted Archbold to go off to Europe and refused to hear me. Archbold alleges MT. Bliss tried to blackmaM him in my interests.
 ! What Penrose complains of is that he didn't get the goods. His talk is, the same as a crooked police officer uses trying to get money from law breakers and Penrose should be thrown out of the Senate. He is con- demned out of his own mouth.''
 Roosevelt then reviewed at length the Archbold charges and declared that the Standard Oil spokesman's chara cterization of James R. Garfield was a certificate of character" for the Ohioan. He said that he had been assured by old time politicians that the progressive enthusiasm was sweeping the state and predicted suc- cess for the ticket, next Tuesday.
