DEAD GIRLS BELIEVED ALARM WAS
MERELY HATED FIRE DRILL

cigarette thrown into heap Of rub
bish, shortly after the lunch hour
was the cause Of the disaster.
Fire Chief Hogg, as he left the ruins
early this morning to get few hours
sleep, declared that, in his opinion
the fire escape was adequate.
1T simply withered from the heat,
he said.
The building was four story brick
structure, forty-four feet wide, by one
hundred and thirty feet long, and was
built eighteen years ago as cigar
factory. The fire escape was at the
rear. There were two stairways from
the top floor, one to Center street, and
the other to Wall street at the front.
The interior of the building was of
wood.
The offices and stock room were
located on the first floor, but most Of
tho operatives were working on the
third and fourth floors.
The fire started in the center of the
first floor near the stairway. The
doors and windows were open and
created a draft, which contributed to
the rapid spread Of the flames.
A fund for the survivors has been
raised.
Records Are Burned.
The exact number of the persons
who perished in the fire that destroy
ed the Binghamton Clothing Co., may
never be known. The list Of employees
Is In the ruins. Only half dozen Of
the bodies recovered have been identi-
Aed. A careful estimate today places
the number Of those in the building at
the time the fire started, at one hun
dred and eleven. OF these, only ffty-
three are known to have been saved.
Six dead have been identified; fifteen
todis, charred beyond recognition, are
at the morgue; seven injured are In
the hospitals; forty-six, several slight
ly injured, are safe at their homes.
Eleven have been reported by rela-
tives, as missing. and twenty-six 9th.
ers are unaccounted for.
Some Of Injured Die.
Mrs. Ida Prentiss, who suffered ter
rible burns about the head, died today
and Mrs. Mary Benny, another Of the
injured, 10 not expected to recover.
City officials estimate the death
toll at ffty, but admit 1t may reach
sixty and physicians expressed the
belief that the bodies of several OF
those lost IN the center Of the build
Ing would never be found.
.Cr0wds gathered about the scene
sf the disaster today and silently
Watched the men At work In the debris
under the direction Of Mayor Irving.
Charred bits Of human flesh we're pick
ed up here and there, and shortly be-
lore noon, body was recovered burn
ID beyond recognition.
Plan Investigation.
District Attorney F. j. Meagher an
today that thorough ipvesti-
cation will be made as to the cause
II the disaster and determine the re-
ifrany, for the loss Of
lie.
Mayor Irving will issue proclama- |

Law Prohibiting Carrying
Arms Across Border
May Be Repealed.
REBELS ARE HURT BY
LACK OF WEAPONS
Maintain They Could Estab-
lish Peace if Able to Get
War Munitions.

Washington. D. c., July 23.-Repeal
Of the neutrality proclamation prohi
biting expectation of arms to Mexico
ls being considered by the administra.
ton as the next step in the Mexican
situation. Conference between Presi.
dent Wilson and congressional leaders
were planned today for q discussion OF
the proposal to which many leaders
have given their approval.
While ohcial statements were lack
ing today as to what support President
Wilson has given to the project, q
ate foreign affairs committees today
led those interested In the move to
believe that the prohibition against
shipments OF arms could be repealed
with little delay.
1t is understood to be the belief OF
administration officials that should
free expectation OF arms be permitted
10 all factions in Mexico, the present
situation might adjust itself. The con-
stitutionalists have repeatedly claim
ed that lack of arms was the only bar
to quick victory. The repeal Is pro-
posed on the ground that there is no
recognized government In Mexico and
that when the prohibition was enact.
ed regularly constituted government,
recognized ofncially by the United
States, was in existence.
Quiet at Tuxpan.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt Of the
navy today called upon Rear ADMIRAL
Cowles q Guaymas to investigate ths
report that Thomas Hind, assistant
general superintendent OF; the South
efn Pacific IN Menico IL held for ran
som by Mexican federals there. The
state department Is without informa-
ton ON the incident.
The supply ship Buffalo has gone
from Guaymas to Topolobampo and re-
ported conditions quiet at the latter
port. and the bsttleship Louisiana,
which went TO Tuxpan, has returned to
Vera Cruz. This latter movement
leads navy department officials to con-
clude that measure of order has
been restored at Tuxpan, relieving
Americans Of the danger they were in
when the battleship was sent under
rush orders to that place.
Prisoner Tells Story.
Dallas, Tex, July 28.-How some of
his Mexican captors used leaves of
his bible for cigarette papers, was
told by L. L, Davis of Dallas, who
reached home today after being q
prisoner Of constitutionalists In Mexico
from May 13 until July 10. Davis
said there were only q few chapters
left in the book when he was released.
He said his captors at times had 1T
tie to eat themselves but always |
shared equally with him.
He was held for ransom but was re- |
leased on demands by American con-
sui here.

LITTLE WORK LEFT FOR
 STAMFORD TOWN MEETING
New Board of Finance Will Be the Whole Thing in Stratford Town Affairs.
Special to The Farmer.)

Stratford. Oct 21-The clash which was confidently predicted by wise tax
 payers between the new board or
 finance and the voters of the town ar rived last night at the first town meet ing since the former was inaugurated- It was not much of difference, but 1t served to show that the finance
 board may be expected to act as a dog in the manager if the occasion arises and that it will consider itself as su-
 perior to the voters and not bound to observe their wishes. The greater part of the time of the meeting was devoted
 to attempts to find a way to legally
 accept the state appropriation for road work Only a few of the matters Tn the call for the annual town meeLlnS could be acted upon because an aP- propriation was carried with the res | oIutions These cannot originate ex- cept with the board of finance and net until Dec. 1. The items concerning the laying of sidewalks, repair and maintenance or highways, care of town poor, pro vision Efor the schools, fire alarm and other matters were laid oyer LII the beceAA- per meeting.
 First selectman Curtis offered a res olution calling for the appropriation for the~state roads which must py law be passed by 8 town meeting before Nov. i. Numberless resolutions were f town wanted the state approprlaIon but there seemed to be no way to ob- tain it under the new charter.
 A number of the members of the finance board were present at the meeting and it was suggested that they withdraw for a few moments anu pass a resolution which could be submitted to the town meeting. E. c. Hoyt of inc finance committee seemed to be the only member who was willing to
 do this. The others were not heard from. Peter Gleason made few pointed remarks about the finance board being the servant of the people but his remarks had little effect upon
 the members of the premier board of the town After waiting an hour or
 more in fruitless discussion the mat fer was laid over to the meeting to be held next Tuesday which will give the board of finance an opportunity to meet and report with recommends tion It was the first clash of authori- tv and it was an indication of what is ahead of the town.
 A petition of 20 or more taxpayers asking for the improvement of Booth street waa about to follow the fate or the matter when it was discovered that the petition carried no appropriation and the members of the board of finance graciously allowed the meet ing to accept it.
 4 petition for three additional lights on the Canaan road was referred to the board of selectmen with power to act.
 The taxpayers of the South End put up a game fight against the resolution to rescind the action of a former town meeting in changing the name of Hon. eyspot road to Park avenue They were outnumbered and outgeneralled by the

LOFT ELECTION QUESTIONED
Appellate Division to Decide on
Big Tins" Successor.


Hudson, y. Y, Nov. 15.-Asserting that
the question involved was of grave public
Importance and should be considered BY
the Appellate Division, Judge Cochrane at
a special term of the Supreme Court to-
day denied an application pro forma 10
restrain the Secretary of State from GER
tifying the election of George W. Loft
to fill the vacancy in Congress from the
18th District, caused by Timothy d. Sulli-
vans death.
Jones L. Joseph, who represented the
petitioner, William j. wilkins. of New
York, contended that Lofts election on
November was invalid because Gov
ernor Glynn failed to comply with an act
of Congress of 1882, making It special
duty Of the states Chief Executive TO
issue a proclamation calling for a special
election to fill a vacancy in Congress, not
more than forty nor less than thirty days
previous to the election.
Mr. Joseph said that Governor Glynn
failed TO issue this necessary proclama-
ton until a week before the election oc-
Cured, therefore Lofts election was void.
He said he would take the question to the
Appellate Division.

COLOMBO SEES A H0LD-UP
Broadway Car Misbehaves Near
Monument and System Suffers.

Several thousand persons were prevent
ed from attending the theatres and other
places of interest last night when Car No.
1.O56 Of the Broadway surface line forgot
TO stay on the track at Columbus Circle,
lust opposite the monument of Cristoforo
Colombo.
For blocks the cars backed up. while the
people did not-they stacked up. 1t hap
pened at $40 o'clock, just about the time
Columbus used to call for his spaghetti.
The Third Avenue Railway Company sent
its wagon there in faster time than Co
lumbus crossed the water, and with the
assistance Of two or three men and two or
three large pieces Of timber the car was
finally coaxed into good behavior.
The streets are torn up at that point.
and a new rail-a Johnson rail-has been
put into position. That caused all the
trouble, though it was not Jack Johnson
rail, and there was little hope among the
whites that they could get to their destl-
nations in time.
