Infant Orphans
 To Have Home TO CARE FOR OVER 100 CHIL- DREN OF ALL SETS AND
 RACES. ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF HARTFORD UNDERTAKES
 BIG PROJECT.

A children's home, filling the great want of the state for an institution to take care of orphans and other neg lected children under the age of 4 years Is now being planned by the Hartford Diocese of the Roman Cath olic Church. Land has been purchas- ed at Asylum avenue and Steele road, in West Hartford, adjacent to St. Mary'S Home for the Aged and 1t was said last night at the Episcopal residence that another week would see the creation of definite plans for the building.
 Bishop John J. Milan, who is giv- ing his personal attention to the pro- ject, has been developing the idea dur ing the last half year. The lack. of an institution in the state that would be a haven for forsaken children of tender years has long been a recog- nized fact in charitable circles, and it is to overcome this lack. that the pres ent plan has developed. It is the stitution be called St. Agnes's Home and that it shall be capable of taking in upwards of 100 children of all races and SallS sects up to about the age of 4 years. AThe cost of the home has not yet been considered save in general way, but it is recognized that over $1Oo,000 will be needed to carry the project to a successful concIu- sion.
 Bishop Milan has sent to the priests in the diocese a letter telling of the project and appealing for financial con tributiOnS.

MORE TREASURES RECOVERED FROM
 EQUITABLE FIRE
But $1,5OO,OOO,OOO in Cur rency and Securities Still
 Buried in Ruins
As Result of Blaze Financ!aI In- stitutions Now Seek Vaults in Absolutely FireproOf Build ingS
Special from United Press.

New York, Jan 12.-AIthough ap- proximately $500. .0o0,0 900 in currency and securities has been moved from the vaults in the fire swept, ice en- 1 cased Equitable Life Building, there still remained, today, more than S1,- 500, ,0OO, ,0ee--a sum sufficient to pay the entire interest bearing debt of the United States.
 Of this fabulous sum, the major portion is buried deep under thou sands of tons of ice and debris in the vaults of the Mercantile Safe Deposit money, securities and jewels in these vaults would total more than billion dollars. Nearly $40o, 100000 in cash exposed vaults of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. while an addition : al 50,0oo,o0o probably will be talk en: today. from the vaults of the cern and $30, 0,000,000 from those of Kountz Brothers.
 The Equitable Life's vaults may be enlptied within a week but it is har7i . ly believed the Mercantile vaults can be opened for three weeks, though ~reckers are taking desperate odds work towards through the safe de- posits so that officials may enter and d5sgorge the vaults of their immense wealth.
 
 millions were buried in the wreck of the building has prompted unusuaJ police vigilance and every plainclothes man available. with a. large number of extra uniformed men have been sent into the financial district.
 One result of the fire is that large number of financial institutions which occupied vaults in buildings not known to be absolutely f1reproof have begun distributing their securities to vaults all through the financial district SO that no fire in future can so com pletely paralyze their business.
 u was said by private detectives. today, that when the vaults of the Mercantile Safe Der os1t Company be- gin to disgorge their billion dollars worth of securities, more than a thousand armed men will be on duty.
 Safe experts, who have approached as near as possible to the vaults of the Mercantile Safe. Deposit Com pany, declared, today, that they were, intact and their contents safe These vaults contain all the securities of the Could. Hartman, the Russell Sage and other estates, together with u1l- told millions of dollars worth of se- curfties used by brokers and bankers diamonds and gems worth a. king s ransom are being held there, the property of society women who dared not keep them in their homes.
 Water. early today, burst through the subway walls at the corner of fond that structure. The basements and sub-hasenl ents of the Equitable are literally flooded with millions of gallons of water, which began seep- ing into the subway.

Charges Filed;
 Governor Sets Day For Hearing
Atwood is After Scalp of Cattle Commissioner AveriII-
 The Allegations

Dr. F. G. Atwood. a New Haven veterinarian, has filed charges of in- competence and inefficency with Gov ernor simeon E. Baldwin against General. Hcman O. AverilI. commis- sioner on dcnasstic animals, and a hearing will be given in Governor BaIdwfn's office in the Capitol on Tuesday, January g, at 11:3O a. m. The matter will be heard by Governor Bald win and Attorney General John H. Light will appear for the state.
 The fact that Dr. Atwood has brought charges against Commission CT AVerill will have no especial news value to any member of the General Assembly of 1911, for during it's ses- sfons and at all sorts of hearings and in conversations in the lobby, pr. Att wood was given to criticism of the management of the office. Various circulars reflected hIs views as to how the office should be conducted, and for that matter, gave Dr. Att woods ideas as to the duties of veter- inarians and the duty of the legisla- ians until the idea that Dr. Atwood desired sweeping reforms in the of flee and in the statutes became pre-
 The present and more formal charges. so Attorney General Light said last night. are that General Aver i'll neglected his duty in the case of a recent alleged outbreak of glanders in New Haven and vicinity.
 General Averill was appointed in 1909 for a term of four years with a salary of $2,000 a year and, unless he dies or is removed he holds his office through Governor Baldwin's term.

 The Turkish gunboats were carry ing contrabrand destined for the Tur. kish troops in Yemen. province, Ara bia. They were discovered by the Italian flotilla and a battleship and two destroyers gave chase when the Turks sought safety in flight. The big guns of the battleship opened up fire at long range and sank two of the gunboatS with a peppery fire from the big guns. The other five and attempted to give battle. but the.r puny equipment was insufficient to do any damage to the Italian ships. After a fight lasting less than an hour, the gunboatS went to the bot tom of the sea and the members of their crews that had escaped the can nonade took to. the lifeboats.
 Immediately after the battle. with the gunbeats. the Italians discorered a Turkish armed yacht endeavorins to escape eastward. A shot was pass ed over her bow and she surrendered.
 The loss of life in the naval en- gagement is not given but the Turks The wireless messaees from the fleet failed to say whether any of the Turks escaped in the lifeboats.
 The guntoats sunk. today. have been eluding the Italian vessels for weeks and have succeeded in carrying inn the garrisons in Arabia. Orders were sent out several days ago that the activities of these vessels must be broken up at once.
