FIRE CHIEF IN
 DISPUTE WITH
 HEALTH BOARD

That Health Board officials not only broke faith with him in condemn1ng the property at 100 Stella street, Of which he is agent, but acted in high handed and illegal manner, is the con- tention of Fire Chief Edward Moo ney. He says that his action in the matter has been in accord with the opinion expressed by physician of six and seven years and that she has gave him the opinion that there was no cause for conforming the property Also that he has consulted legal ad-s vice and, upon the advice given, is going to remove the condemnation sign. He believes that he is acting entirely within his rights and intends to make a test of the case.
 In an interview this afternoon Chief Mooney at first seemed disfnclined to enter into a controversy with the Health Board although he admitted that he considered he has just grounds for complaint. He said that, when the health officials first complained as to the condition of the property, he agreed to take the matter up immedi- ately with the owner, Mrs. Mary Fa- gan, of Brooklyn, and a relative of his wife's. Also that he has consulted masons and plumbers concerning the improvements desired and was willing to do anything in reason.
 Mrs. Pagan. he says, has made ar engagements to come to Bridgeport to- morrow and investigate conditions. As a result of this, he continues, Inspec- tor Dunbar of the Health Board had agreed to take no action in the mat ter until after tomorrow. He was surprised to learn of the action taken at the last meeting of the Health Board and to, learn that a. condemna- tion card had been placed on the house. By this action he believes that he was double crossed" and that the health officials deliberately violated , action was innocently done by the commissioners or with full knowledge of conditions he does not know.
 The complaints, reported as having been received by the Health board from residents of that locality con corning the property he attributes to neigh borhood disagreement and an at tempt to get rid of the woman occu- pying a house on the sole ground that she is of foreign descent She has lived at the house, he says for between six and seven years and she has not com pIained. He admits that there are improvements to be made but de- nies that there are any such condi- tions as alleged and such as should call for such drastic action. Also that Stella street runs into a, public dump upon which all kinds of rub bish are left and that these cfrcum- stances do much in spelling the ap- pearance of the property.

 struction of this building under the
 Law.
 aI refused to issue a, warrant for
 Mr. Shea and would not asgue a war
 rant for anyone else under the same circumstances. If the prosecuting at- torney did not exercise some 5udE- ment he would be issuing Warrants all the time The other day had 44 complaints of non-Supporx After Iis- tening to them all, sent two couple out Of nay office with their troubles alI etrafghtened out, and issued one war rant. The others were net aerdoua enough to consider
 T have never told Chief Mooney that if he did not like the way did business he could get out Of my office and stay out. but I have told him f that he could not come in anC 5nszat t
 me.
 Since the shea incident he has been | in to see me three times, but his com pIa1nts could not be susta5ned- am
 ready and willing at all times to pros 1 ecute all legitimate complains that are brought to my attention, but I do not deem it my duty to issue warrants without eHidence that some crime haa been committed"

JOHN TAYLOR
 FAILS TO SHOW CONSP PIRACY

John Taylor, the. Greenwich car penter who claimed the United Broth erhood Carpenters of America had conspired to have him discharged has lost the legal action which he brought against the Brotherhood. Judge Bennett of the superior court to-day handed down decision refusing to grant an injunction and deciding against Taylor in his suit for $1s- oo0.
 Taylor claimed he was employed by J., R. Crosby in Greenwich until the Brotherhood tried to have him dis charged and finally by threats induc- ed Crosby to discharge him. The Brotherhood denied this, alleging that Taylor was a member of another union and therefore aggrieved at the Broth erhood. In his memorandum Judge Bennett states that Taylor hasn't proved conspiracy or that the Broth erhood .xied to injure him.
 The court finds that the responsdbil- ity for Taylor's discharge cannot be placed on the Brotherhood.

LAKE SHORE MUST
 BUY SMALL LINE

Columbus, O., March 14-The terms on which the Rocking Valley, Toledo and Ohio Central, Chesapeake C. ohio and Lake Shore and Michigan South ern railroads shall dispose of their equity in the Sandy Creek Coal Com pany and Continental Coal and Coke Company and by which the Chesa.- peake 6 Ohio shall dispose of it's fu- terest in the Kanawha. G. 1dtchigau~ road were prescribed in a decree hand ed down here today by United ststtes Circuit Judges Warrington. Kappsn and Denison.
 The court decided in December, 1912. that the holdings were in violation Of the Sherman antitrust act
 By the decree given today, the Lake Shore is given two months in which it must purchase the stock of the Kanawha 6 Michigan, owned now by the Chesapeake 6 Ohio, or the joint interest of both roads in Kanawha. s1 Michigan must be sold to others-
 The same time is allowed for com p1ete dissolution by private sale of Sandy Creek Coal Companyss stock and that Of the Continental Coal G- Coke Company by the railroads now holding it.
 If these orders are not carried out in that time the court will appoint a master to direct the dissolution
 The principal feature of the deeMss today is that the Lake Shore road is virtually compelled to buy tas Efa.- nawha & Michigan stock owned new by the Chesapeake & Ohio. Accord ing to the former decision, the Chesa- peake & Ohio was forced to sell fta interest but, since the Lake Shore wac not compelled to buy it openly, Cheaa.- peake & Ohio officials feared sale oE the stock would be forced at an sr- tremely low price, according to state ments of counsel for the Chesapeake G Ohio made here today.
 Counsel for both the goverrnnene and the railroads reserved aunounca- ments of whether they would appeal from the courts decision.

VILLAS AIM IS PRESIDENCY OF MEXICAN STATES. Former Bandit Will Not Be Satisfied With Lesser
 Honor
 YOUNG TERREZAS IS HOPELESS OF RELEASE Believes Rebels Intend to Make Way With Him Aft
 CT Mulcting Family
Believes Rebels Intend to

i 1Chihuahua.. Mex, March 1 14-srVilIa, the one-time bandit. will be the next president of Mexico. That is his am bftion and despite all reports to the contrary it will remain his ambition until he is either dead or President-'' -
 The declaration was made today by friends so close to Villa as to give authority to the assertion. It was prompted by reports that the coming to Chihuahua. of General Carranza, recognized as the civil head of the revolution, was to bring about cOndi- tions more satisfactory to foreign gov ernments and to place in the seat of authority better advisers than Villa appears to have in handling compH- cations growing out of the killing of William S. Benton, 8 British subject,
 That Villa and Carranza might meet and that they might publicly embrace as an evidence of their per feet harmony was given out as a pos sibIIity.
 General Carranza is now on his way overland from Sonora and magnifi- cent marble building has been pre- pared as the official residence or capitol in which he is to perfect the details Of government But it was stated emphatically that the coming of Carranza is not to lessen in any way the power now yielded by Villa, who for months has been dictator.
 VILLA STILL SUPREME
 General Villa will remain supreme commander through the progress of the rebellion said one of his advis- CTS. ''His succession of victories against the federal army. his sweep ing away of the Huerta. soldiers from the north of. Mexico, while Carranza remained nsc0mp aEatiVe ebSzssrftE ons the Pacific slope, have so exafted him in the minds of his soldiers as to make his subordination to anyone else Improbable.
 .sGeneraI Villa could not afford to go south at the head of his troops in the attack on Torreon before he had first satisfied himself that his going would not result in the loss Of any of his power.
 In the absence of any indication that Villa intended to move south- ward immediately, this city, the larg- est in rebel territory, apparently shas resigned itself to an indefinite state of revolution.
 A prisoner in his own home, is Luis Terrazas, Jr.. member of one of the Diaz regime
 TEsRRAZAS WITHOUT HOPE.
 When seen today the prisoner ap- peared to be utterly hopeless of his release. He has been confined here ever since Villas army entered the city last December. When told that his father. now a refugee in Ell Paso. was making every effort. toz procure his release, the prisoner merely shook his head. More than once since his detention. he has been subjected to tortures to reveal places where Ter razas' money vas supposed to be hid- den.
 held by the rebels for three pur- poses: So that money may be extort- ed from the Terrazas family; so that, by threatening the execution of the prisoner, the Cientifico party may be .dfssuaded from invading Mexico from the north and so that the prisoner may sign documents turning Terrazas' property oves to Villa.
