 GOSPEL OF SUFFRAGE

Dundee, May Burlington Hall, near this ct1y, was destroyed by fire early today and indications pointed to arson by the militant suffragettes. Flames broke out simultaneously in half a dozen places in the great man sion which was beautiful specimen of architecture and belonged to Henry McGrady, a former Lord Provost of Dundee.
 London May 1O-Twao more of the now familiar bombs with which the militant suffragettes are making an attempt to scare the British pariia- ment into giving the parliamentary franchise to women, were discovered this morning. One of them was found in the passengers waiting room at the Lime street railroad station in Liver pool, and the other in the sorting room of the post office at Reading.
 The fuse of the Liverpool bomb had been lighted but the fire had died out before it reached the powder. The instrument of intended destruction consisted of a tin tobacco box filled with gunpowder and iron nuts and the long fuse. was laid in the center

Tax Boards Estimate On
 Barnum Avenue Work Is
 Found to Be Too Small

Owing to the fact that the lowest bid received for the work of grad ing Boston avenue and repairing it with Telford gravel, and of grading sidewalks. and constructing retaining walls on the thoroughfare, was more than $1,OOo over the appropriation for the work. it has been necessary for the Board of Contract and Supply to re- advertise for bids on the work.
 It was found necessary to revise the plans slightly in order that the contractors may submit bids which will come within the appropriation. The bids for the work under the re- vised plans will be received at the offices of the Board of Contract and Supply until noon Wednesday, May 15.
 The firms which submitted bids on the work were the B. D. Pierce, the Burns company, the Sperry Engineer ing company of New Haven and the o. G. Beard com mpany.

 Mrs. Perkins was crushed completely under the car while MT. Perkins was thrown little to one side. Death came to him almost nrnediatedly- The car was running at the speed of about 30 miles an hour at the time.
 MT and Mrs. Perkins were going to Westport to spend Sunday with their son, while MT. and Mrs. Rogers. who were their guests, were to stop at Bridgeport to visit friends over Sum Qay. NIT ROSSES IS LIlS 4NOTW4Cn 1CPI6- sentative of the firm of +Stoddard, Gtl- bert Company, of New Haven.

GOODSELL REPLIES TO ATTORNEY FOR
 OYSTER INDUSTRIES

To the Editor of the Farmer:
 A communication sent by the paid Attorney of the oyster industries was published by the Morning Telegram and Farmer, of May 9th in answer to a communication written by me and pub1ished in the Farmer on April 29th and the Morning Telegram on April 30th.
 My communication was in regard to evidence produced at a hearing un- der bill No. 70s before the committee on public health and safety in Hart ford. on April 23rd, 1913. This hear ing was directed by the said paid At torney.
 The oyster industries paid Attorney in his answer to my communication expressed his. arguments in general!- : ties which were not backed up by facts or evidence so that the citizens of the State of Connecticut could un- derstand why they should spend mill Hons of dollars on f1imsy or. say-so evidence in regard to the present need of sanitary sewer systems in cities and towns bordering the shores of Long Island Sound
 The citizens of our State are cer- tainly entitled to know where sani tary sewer system has been installed in one or more of the cities of the United States similarly situated as the cities in Connecttcut are which bor- der our shores. This is en1inently a perfectly fair proposition to make. and the citizens of our State ought to have. this information given them. The wiser plan for the citizens of our State to follow would. be to. have cities in other states test these .exper- fncntary sanitary sewer systems until some new sewer system had been per fected to point of actual merit.
 Is there any good reason why the oyster industries expert engineers .<,3kS kI% the. names of cities where their sewer plants have been installed?
 Then committees of citizens from our several cities could visit the places where these perfected sewer plants were situated and make thorough in VeStigationS of their locations and sur rOundings and see if the conditions are in any manner similar to our Con necticut cities requirements, before spending the tax payers money on ex- per1rnental sanitary sewer systems.
 There are hundreds of expert en- gineers that would jump at the chanc of furnishing our Connecticut cities with elaborate sets of sanitary sewer plans, and would willingly supervise the installing of these sewer plants at the cost of millions of dollars to the tax payers, if no guarantee or bonds were required to show that 100 per cent. of oxygen was left in the efflu- ent after the sewage had been treat ed by their several experimental pro- cesses.
 But if guarantee was required by our Connecticut cities of these expert engineers to prove said results under an agreement that no payment for the work should otherwise be made, l how many Engineers or Contractors | would be eager to make bids for these | sewer contracts? Under the above | conditions, do not believe there 1

Mayor Orders Away
 Barricade Of Blocks

Mayor Wilson did not waste much time after his attention was dra wr to the way the contractors having the Fair6eld avenue paving job were pill ing their wood blocks along tfe side walk, in ordering the blocks 70 be re- moved to some place where they would not blockade any sidewalk.
 The blocks, which are soaked in creosote and sticky black tar, were piled shoulder high along the edge of the narrow sidewalk and the result was that whenever one person tried to pass another on the walk, one of them would brush against the barricade of wood blocks with the result that clothes would be ruined and some of the blocks knocked from the top of the pile, for the next paSser-by to stumble over.
 Most of the blocks were removed last night and piled back of the Con- necticut company's trolley barns, and more were removed this morning. It Is stated that no more of the blocks will be piled up along the street un- til they are ready to be used.

The police were called in and on exaniua.- tion found that the parcel contained an electric battery connected with ex- plosives and accompanied by quanfi- ties of suffragette literature IT. g parcel was addressed to a municipai official of Reading who is now on his vacation.

BLAME MOVIES FOR DOWNFALL
 OF BRIGHT LAD
Probation Officer Says Laws Not Enforced
 About Children
Theatres in West End Worst Offenders, He Says, Keeping
 Children Out Late

John Supplies, 13 years old, was be- fore the city court this morning upon a charge of incorrigibility and was sentenced to the Connecticut State re- form school for boys at Meriden by Judge Carl Foster who was upon the bench. The case of the Supplies boy is only one of a number which the probation officer, Rev C. W Simp- son has in charge, although perhaps 1t Is an aggravated case. The boy is only IS years of age, but persists in hanging around the streets at night and his parents can do nothing with him and they claim he has been ruin ed by attending moving picture shows.
 After the adjournment of the court MT. Simpson said this was only one Of number of such cases, and he further said that in defiance of the law boys under fourt teen and girls un- der Is years are admitted to the pie ture theatres without being accom- panied by parents or guardians as the law provides. He says the West End theatres are perhaps the worst offen- ders although the practice is by no means confined to those in that sec tfon Of the city.
 Repeated warnings have had no ef- feet, he says, and now he announces that he proposes to bring prosecutions where this law is violated and to in sist that young boys and girls be not aon1LteQ unless. accom- panled. by some older person who will be responsible for them. The evil he complains of is not SO much that the pictures are .denoralizing as that it establishes the habit of being out late at night, and that even after the theatres have clos ed the boys and girls do not go home but hang about the streets and associate with vicious companions. MT. Simp- son will make a. determined effort to see that the law is obeyed in this respect and will prosecute in future all who dieobey it.
 The Supplies boy is said to be 4 bright little fellow and to have the nnakings of d useful man if he had not been exposed to untoward condi- tions. ;t!

FOOLISH SAFE CRACKER HAS WORK IN VAIN Hammers All Night On Unlocked
 Safe Then Escapes in Automobile He Doesn't Know How to
 Run

A daring. though extremely amateur attempt at blowing a safe in the off3qe of the Metropolitan Auto and Gar riase Company, ending with a comic : opera escape in stolen automobile, which had it's finale in Black Rocs, where lack of fuel caused the aban- doning of the vehicle, occurred last night and during the early hours of morning.
 When an early arrival at the car <iage works came upon the scene at <S4 Grand street, this morning, what had every earmark of 4. well planned and executed safe blowing greeted his amazed sight, for there upon the floor lay hinges, combination knobs tuan- bIers and all the tools required by an expert Safe-cracksman, including even one of the most uo-to- date electric portable drills. A wide-open door and wearing apparel thrown upon the safe indicated that the safe had been blown with dynamite after blows from a 20 pound sledge hammer had failed toI make the desired impression upon. it's steel sides As a matter of fact, i'm r11zfrS among the officials disclosed the fact that hours of labor had been spent upon a safe in which nothing but books of record were kept and which at all times would open to the furT. of the boIt-hand1e-
 Entrance could have been effected by any one of several windows which were found open, and had evidently been thrown wide to cool the sweated brow of the single individual believed to have Iabored SO industriousIy dur ing many hours, only to find that itl was unlocked
