EFFICIENCY ADVOCATED . BY GOVERNOR BALDWIN Executive Says, He Believes Some of the State Agen-
 cies Are Below Par.

Hartford, April 1.-The Hartford County Rural Improvement associa- tion held an all day session in Unity hall today at which the speakers in- cluded Governor Baldwin, Congress man Asbury F. Lever of South Caro- lima, Mayor Joseph H. Lawler of this city and others. The meeting was held for the purpose of arousing in- terest in the neglected agricultural possibilities in the county and as a field day for its farming and indus trial interests. Frank H. Stadtmeuller of West Hartford, incoming state dairy and food commissioner and president of the association, presid- ed. Matters affecting the agricultural, civic, commercial and industrial in- terests of the county were discussed and the idea advanced that there should be a more thorough co-opera- ton by the people with the extension service of the United States depart ment of agriculture, the Connecticut Agricultural A college, the State Experi- ment stations and the state board of agriculture.
 A significant utterance by Governor Baldwin, who spoke at the forenoon session in relation to Connecticut's s place as an agricultural state was: eff state agencies are inefficient, and I believe some of them are far less efficient than they should be and might be, get them improved by q change of methods or change of men,
 Mayor Joseph H. Lawler delivered the opening address, which was in the form of a welcome. Prof. c. D. Jarvis. state director of the extension service, responded. These were fol- lowed by A. J. Sheurele, secretary of the Hampden Improvement league of Massachusetts: President Frank H. Johnston of the State Business Mems association and Governor Baldwin.

ATHLETIC CARNIVAL
 PLANNED BY Y. M. c. A.
Physical Director Hergstrom Ar- ranges for Unique Exhibition
 on May 2.

One of the most unique athletic ex- hibitions ever held in New Britain is being planned by Physical Director Joseph Hergstrom, of the Young Mems Christian association. The event will take place on May 2, and unusual features, some of which are entirely new, will be seen. The af- fair will be fitting wind-up to the season of the Junior Employed Boys
 The program is only partly com pleted, but an idea of what the au. dience will be treated to may be gleaned from the following:
 First there will be ten-minuts spirited wand drill. Then will come a one-eighth mile walk. Following this Jacob Barbello, 'the worlds greatest strong man." will give an exhibition in weight lifting and other feats of strength. l.
 Next will be a one-quarter mile re- lay race against time by picked teams A game of dodge ball, also with picked teams, is next in order. Soakum anu Soxallexus, world renowned aerialists and gymnasts,' come next. A boxing match, between Logan and "The Un. known" will precede the finale, which will be wrestling match between Burdick and Hergstrom.
 A special attraction will include "Ye Olde Baskette Balle," for five minutes, and the universal spanking machine" During the evening the Agony Quartette will render musical selections accordingly.
 Altogether the affair will be such as has never been duplicated here be- fore, and for those who enjoy good sport, or who, not caring for sport, want a few laughs, this will be the chance for them to get their fill.

Three Other Persons Injured When
 Apartment House is Destroyed.
BLAZE STARTED IN BASEMENT
Captain Smith Performs Notable Heroic Feat in Saving Louis BoyIan From Being Dashed to Death Coroner Healy to Investigate.

New York, April 17.-A fire that swept through the five story apartment house at TAI Eighth avenue early to- day claimed ten victims and resulted in the injury of three others. Only four of the ten bodies taken from a theatrical boarding house that occu- pied half of the building, could be identified, the others being charred beyond recognition.
 Five Are Identified.
 The identified dead are:
 Charles O. Wallace, 46 years old.
 Mrs. Nellie Wallace, his wife 32 years old.
 Miss Nellie Spencer, 20 years old, a cloak model.
 Muriel Davis. three years old
 Mrs George c. Davis, who sustained internal injuries and died in the hos pital without recovering consciousness.
 The seriously injured were Joseph Messer, Martin Welsh and Charlea Burke.
 Started in Easement
 The fire started in pile of waste in the basement of a five and ten cent store which occupied the ground floor of the building. It spread rapidly up stairways and shut off escape by them. There were no fire escapes in the front of the building and the large number of dead and injured was due to the refusal of the panic stricken people to remain in the front windows, where many were rescued by firemen. All of the dead and injured were a from Ina and hQ1l0 Or the rooming house, where they were caught while attempting to reach the roof and fire escapes.
 One man was killed in trying to escape over roofs. M
 The fire was under control in less than an hour, but in that time many thrilling rescues were made by the flremen working from ladders in front and from windows of a nearby tenement building.
 Heroic Feat Performed.
 Captain Smith, who was suspended by his feet from window, prevented Louis Boylan from being dashed to death when a ladder broke on which he was crawling from the burning tenement. Captain Smith seized Boy- Ian and held on to him until both could be dragged to safety.
 The proprietor of the rooming house, negro janitor and several of the rescued occupants of rooms in the building were summoned to ap- pear today before Coroner Healy, who has instituted an investigation.
 Were Stage People.
 MT. and Mrs. Charles O. Wallace were stage people and came here from Providence, R. I. Mrs. Wal laces maiden name was Nellie Dick inSon.
 Mrs. Davis was known on the stage as "Patsy'' Mafera. Five of the victims, four men and woman, were still unidentified at 10:3O this morning.
 Three More Identified.

Radlum In the Arts.

While the most important use of ra-
dunn is undoubtedly that of a cura-
tive agent for cancer and skin dis
eases, il is also of great value in 9th
or ways. A disk carrying a minute
quantity of radium is attached to a
special voltmeter and used for meas
uring at a distance the electric po-
tential of a conductor, which it does
at a distance of SO centimeters in
The case of a current of not more than
500 volts and at distance of three
meters in high voltage.
Another use is the prevention Of
the electrifcation of machines and
fbers in the textile industry, espe-
pecially in silk mills This is eff
fected by dipping the textile into a
bath containing a very small quantity
IF radium and by applying radio-ac-
tive matter to the cylinders.
Resides these applications, radium
Is incorporated in manures. to which
It gives a highly stimulating effect
upon vegetation.
