New York, July Histories of ice so close that the frost was plainly dis cernible in the air, forcing the pas sengers to don heavy wraps were brought here by the great liner Mature tania, of the Cunard Line and the Adriatic of the White Star line, to- day.
 Both vessels were in dangerous prox- sirnity to the ice and reported that one of the bergs was more than LOGO feet long and stood 50 feet out of the wa ter. Memories of the Titanic's fate in almost the same latitude made the passengers uncomfortable until they reached port.

DID SUFFRAGETTES INTEND TO DESTROY
 DUBLIN THEATRE?
Explosives Found Among Effects of
 Eight Women Arrested Today

fire to curtain in the Theatre Royal has not yet been learned but the po- lice are sure it was one of the eight under arrest. They think it likely It was one of them who threw hatch ct at the premier as he was driving through Princes street to the Gres- ham Hotel just after his arrival.
 Both the hotel and theatre were under heavy guard and the premier did not stir from his room. The pre- cautions it was deemed necessary to take, are interfering seriously with the pleasure of his visit. It is feared, however, that any relaxation of .vig1- lance would be followed by loss of fife, the suffragettes evidently having passed the point where petty violence satisfies them and resorted to genuine terrorism.
 John Redmond, the Irish leader who was crushed against a door while entering the Gresham Hotel with the premier and suffered torn ear, is quite we'll again, today.
 The police found a store of gum powder, petroleum and other infiam- mables in the arrested suffragettes' lodgings.

Dublin, July 19.-When eight suf- fragettes were arrested here. today, charged with complicity in last nights attempt to burn the Theatre Royal where Premier Asquith is to speak, this evening, a search of their lodging revealed a store of gunpow- der, petroleum and other inflamma- bles.
 The discovery of the explosives now among the suffragettes' weapons, has given the authorities a violent shock. A rigorous investigation is being con- cucted to determine whether it was planned to blow up rather than to burn the theatre and if the women under arrest were acting independ- ently or have an organization behind them.
 The prisoners are all English and it is believed they came here for the deliberate purpose of marking the premier's visit by an unprecedented demonstration of suffragette violence. The identity of the woman who threw a blazing chair from a box and set

City Wins Fight Hurd Property
 Gan Be Taken
Superior Court Today De- cides Question of Con- demning Land for New High School.

The city of Bridgeport has won 1ts fight to have the Golden Hill prop ferty of Frank W. Hurd condemned as part of the site for new high school. Judge Burpee of the superior court handed down a decision today. When the city filed an application for the appointment of three appraisers to find what damages Hurd could sus- tain. Attorneys Stoddard, Marsh & Day, counsel for Hurd, filed a de- murrer and asked that the applica- ton be dismissed.
 They interposed several technical objections to the city's legal move. Among other things 1t was claimed that the city had not taken the prop CT application and that no descriptive survey had been taken as the charter provides. Julge Burpee finds that the objections are merely technical and overrules the demurrer.
 The city declared it had three plots in mind. for 8 high school site. There was no difficulty in agreeing upon a purchase 'prioe with Alice c. l.. Wat son and Margaret D. Kelly. No hurd, however, and therefore the condemnation proceedings were brought. sThe three plots sought by the city have frontage on Golden Hill Lyon Terrace and Congress street
 The dolngs of the plaintiff, acting by it's legal voters, the Board of Edu- cation, and it's common council, which are set out in this application and the exhibits attached to it, are sufficient to meet all the reasonable require meAtS and purposes of "proper action, resolution and vote to erect a high school building and may well be re- gardeds as such s'action, resolution and vote. To require anything more would be to apply useless technical ity.
 In paragraphs g and 10 the allesa- tlons concerning a descriptive sur- vey are more than enough to sat- lsfy the requirements of section 142 o1 the city charter. That section pro- vides only that the common counci, pare a descriptive survey of the im- provement contemplated" It does not prescribe what shall be done with such survey or what it's use shall be- What is meant by a descriptive survey is fmmaferlalE now. It is alleged thai committee was appointed to prepars one. prepared it. and included it in iti report to the common council Thai is enough.
 The powers granted to the plaintih by the Legislature In section E142 of its charter are plainly stated and ample tsThe common council shall have the power to take, occupy, appropriate any land necessary or convenient fol the purpose of public schools" Lane for a site certainly is necessary ol convenient for such purposes. The fact that land may be taken for sucl purposes by another method is imma. teria1. The Legislature undoubtedly had the power to grant another meth. cd to the city and there seems to be no doubt that it saw fit to do so.
 The demurrer is overruled.
