p. J. MORRISSEY
 ESTATE LIKELY
 TO LOSE LICENSE

The liquor license. held by the late Patrick J. Morrissey may be lost to the Morrissey estate. according to the views Of the county commissioners ex- pressed this morning. The, new H- cense laws are rather obscure on the questions involved in the ARorrissey matter. The we'll known political leader died November 22 and the Ii- cense expires tomorrow night at mid- night.
 He had not transferred the license before his death and his widow, Mrs. Josephine Morrissey, would not have time to advertise the application for transfer for two weeks, as required by law. Before the transfer could. be made the license would have expired and as no new ones can be issued it would mean a big financial loss for the Morrissey estate. The commis- sioners may allow the superior court to pass upon the matter.

WORKERS STRIKE SETTLED
 LEADERS GO BACK

Schenectady, N. r., Nov. 2s-The strike at the General Electric plant ended today. At a meeting between representatives of the company and the unions and Mayor Lunn, an agree ment was reached by which all em- ployes will return to work. The peace was soon ratified by the Trades Alliance.
 The agreement contemplated the re- opening of the shops next Monday on either part or full time as the company sees fit All of the strik- ing employees, including Frank Dujay and Miss Leslie union leaders whose removal caused the strike, may re- turn to work Miss Leslie will have her old position. Another place will be found for Dujay.
 Work in the department in which he was employed has been slack and it was said there was nothing for him to do in his old place.
 If it is found necessary to put some of the employees on part time, the agreement is that the hours of the first and then the hours of the single men. This is the same plan that was followed in 1907.
 Statements were issued by company officials, the press committee of the strikers and Mayor Lunn, expressing satisfaction over the adJustment of differences.
 The press committees statement said the strike was due largely to 'Inisund derstanding," expressed pleas ure at the company's agreement to take back all employees and advised all of the men to report at their old places Monday.
 At meetings this afternoon the Dn- ions were formally notified of the settlement. Arrangements were made for noisy demonstration in celebra- tion of the cessation of trouble A large amount of fireworks which were bought for the purpose of celebrating Mayor Lunn's election but which were stored. when he was defeated, will be set off. The mayor is the hero of the town. Whistles also will be blown and bells rung.

Grand Rapids, Mich. Nov. 29.-A careful search today among the ruins of the Vanrervein & Stonehouse bui1d- ings which burned early, today. wreck ing three business places and destroy ing the homes of several families, de- veloped the fact that no lives. wc4 C lost and that the property, loss, in cluding insurance, would not be more than $65so90. The origin of the fire was still undetermined.
 More than a dozen f1remen were burned, bruised and cut by flying de- bris when a quantity of dynamite, gunpowder and gasoline exploded and more than 40 men, women and children who occupied rooms in the second sto- ry of the burned building, a hardware store, barely escaped with their lives.

BRUTAL SLAYER MURDERS TWO MEN
 WITH HIS RATCHET

Muekogee, Okla. Nov. 29-A mys- ferious murdere who chops his vic- tins to death with a hatcbet, has made his appearance in this city and already has slain two aged business men, leaving no clue for the estab- lEshr1en$ of his identity.
 & F. Richardson, an elderly fur nfture dealer, was murdered in his place of business about dusk Thurs day and early last night C. s. Ever ett. a grocery man, was killed in his stores about five blocks from the scene of the former crime.
 Both bodies had been hacked to pieces
 Other points of similarity in the two murders have convinced the po- lice that the two crimes were com. xnitted by the same person. That rob- bery was not the motive of the rnur- ders is indicated by the fact that the cash till in neither store was rob bed

The force of the explosion tore the structure to bits and scattered it over an area of four city blocks
 The fire started in the Vandervein building and spread rapidly to adjoin- ing structures, destroying branch of the Grand Rapids Savings Bank, the Van Wylxc drug store and the Stonehouse hardware store.
 So rapid was the spread of the flames that occupants of the upper floors were thrown into a panic.srIn the wild rush for safety women and children were trampled upon while others tainted and were carried out by the f1renen. No one had time to dress and those who escaped were exposed to the cold and were drenched by a heavy rain which was falling.

CITY COURT CASES

One of the closing scenes of a checkered career in Bridgeport's old tenderloin took place before Judge Thomas c. CoughIin in city court this morning when Mrs. Lizzie Myers pleaded guilty to keeping a disorder ly house at the Hotel Auto, 331 Water street. A fine of $50 and costs with four months in jail was imposed, the latter having judgment suspended un- der the provision that she dispose of the business within a reasonable time and leave the city for good. No di- has got to be closed or sold but the orders are mandatory that she use all due speed in severing her connection with. the place. It is understood that official approval is lacking on account of two doors connecting. the saloon part with the apartments upstairs. Through Attorney Frederick B. Fall and charges of keeping a. disorderly house were nolled. Joseph Falcone of Waterbury and Annie Miller for feited bonds of S25 each instead of pleading guilty to frequenting. Other frequenters were fined as follows: Margaret Delmasso, $15 and costs; Katie Miller, $1o and costs; Nellie Jessie Graves, alias Armstrong, SIS and costs
 A peculiar outcome of a sta.bbing affray two weeks ago came up in the calling of the case and a further con tfnuance for a week. Michael Gulvas and Michael Ondeck, originally held as principals and with charges of as- sault with intent to kill against them had these changed with reduction of bonds Gu1vas is now charged with breach of the peace under bonds of $500 and his companion with simple assault under bonds of $500. On the other hand John Zampina and James Sanach, formerly charged with breach of the peace, now recuperating in Bridgeport hospital, are now charged with assault with intent to kill under bonds of S1,500 each. It is alleged that they assaulted each other.

Japan's Foreign Trade.

The foreign trade returns of Japan
for the month of January make an
agreeable showing as compared with
those of a year ago. Mainly in con-
sequence of a great expansion in the
volume of imports of raw materials,
an unpleasant feature of the foreign
trade of Japan last year was the con-
slant excess of imports over exports.
1t would seem, however, that these
conditions are now about to be re-
versed. A year ago, for example, the
returns for the first month of 1912
showed an excess in the value of inn
ports over exports of nearly $685.
600 Omitted States currency, and
now the figures for January of this
year show an excess of imports over
exports of s4,137,00O. The actual total
Of exports for the month was $23,000,-
600, as compared with SIS, 100000 a
year ago, while in the imports there
was an increase compared with last
year of about $4,000,00G.
