$1oo,ooo RESIDENCE
 BURNED NEAR STAMFORD.
Mrs. L. H. Porter and Four Children Saved Only Some Personal Belons-

Stamford, Conn, March 3o-F1re tonight destroyed the stately residence on Noroton Hill of Louis H. Porter, a New York lawyer, causing a loss es- timated at $100,000. The blaze, the origin of which is uncertain, spread so rapidly, that Mrs. Porter and her four children were able to save only some of their personal belongings.
 A valuable collection of native birds, the result of years of work, which MT. Porter had intended to give to Yale University, was lost. Bric-a-brac collected from all parts of the world, Mrs. Porter's jewelry and priceless heirloom were also destroyed. It is believed that the solid silver plate, which was kept in a vault, is safe.
 Workmen were at work on the ex- terior of the house today and it is thought that the fire may have orig mated from a torch or a spark from charcoal. A gale as blowing when the fire was discovered and the house being situated on an unprotected hill, soon fell an easy prey to the flames.
 The loss is partly, covered by in Surance.

 BOMB CONSPIRACY,
Young Italian Detective the Only Wit
 ness Yesterday.

New York, March 3O-Amedeo Pol igani, the young detective who un- covered the St. Patrick's Cathedral bomb conspiracy. was the only witness to testify today at the trial of Frank Abarno and Carmine Carbone, charged with making and placing bomb in the cathedral on March 2.
 Poligani, while posing as an anar- chist, gained the confidence of the de- fendants and he associated with them until they were arrested.
 The young detective explained in detail his association and converse tions with the defendants and told of their alleged plans to blow up the ca thedral. Poligani also testified that in conversations with Carbone the lat ter had said that We want to get af- ter Carnegie and the Vanderbilts' and that Rockefeller should be blown uI."
 A vigorous cross examination by at torneys for Abarno and Carbone fail to cause the detective to change his testimony.
 Poligani denied that he, had ever been employed as a chemist in fire works concern. He said he was not especially nervous while he was as- sociating with the anarchists because he knew that other detectives were occupying a room across the street from the one in which thS anarchists were working.

ROCKEFELLER RELIEF FOR
 DISTRESS IN COLORADO
Ready to Contribute $1oo,oo0, Particu-
 Iarly for Mining Districts.

New York, March 3O.-John D. Rockefeller. Jr., in a telegram to the Colorado state committee on unem- ployment and relief, announced that the Rockefeller Foundation stood ready to contribute $100,00Q to relieve dis tress among the workers in Colorado, particularly in the mining districts.
 MT. Rockefeller's telegram, which was addressed to the State Commit tee of Unemployment and Relief, F. J. Radford, chairman, Trinidad, Colo, read as follows:
 Your telegram of March 25 with reference to the distress which exists among the unemployed and their fam lilies in Colorado, is received. I note the expression of opinion by your committee that if the necessaries of life can be provided during the next three months at the end of that time it should be possible for employment to be secured on farms. in the mines or elsewhere, but that your commit tee fears that in the meantime the funds from individuals, county and state resources will prove insufficient to meet the need and that unless fur ther immediate aid is otherwise pro vided, widespread suffering and want will certainly ensue.
 Should this prove to be true, the foundation stands ready, up to July 1st next. to supplement the funds re- ceived from the above mentioned sources as may be necessary up to $100,0Q0, Since MT. w. L. Mackenzie King, tIie director or the industrial re- lations department of the Rockefeller Foundation, is now in Denver. the Foundation is requesting him to rep resent it in this matter in conference with you.

EASTMAN BILL TO BE
 FAVORABLY REPORTED
In New Hampshire-To Take Over Leased B. & M. Lines.

Concord, N. H., March 30.-The ju- dietary committee of the legislature has decided to report favorably on the Eastman bill providing that the New Hampshire railroad shall be incor- porated to take over the leased lines of the Boston & Maine in this state if the proposed Boston & Maine re- organization fails. This announce mert was made today by Benjamin W. Couch, chairman of the committee.
 It was also announced that repre- sentatives of the Boston and Maine and of tre leased lines had reached an agreement on a modification of the reorganization bill and that the amended plan would be placed in the hands of the judiciary committee be- fore the close of it's hearing tonight.
 James H. Hustis. president of the Boston & Maine, and Marcus H. Knowlton, chairman of the federal fairs, were among the speakers before the committee today. President Hustis said that he considered the reorgan- ization plan the only practical way out of the roads difficulties. To break up the system, he thought, would be greatly to the disadvantage of the country which it served, and he be- lieved that a receivership would be disastrous.
 Judge Knowlton declared that any suspicion that the Boston & Maine and the New York, New Haven & Hart ford had not been completely and final ly divorced was unfounded. He said that no attempt to evade the decree of the federal court had been made or would be made.

NOTE SENT TO GERMANY
 ON SINKING OF THE FRYE
Was Delayed Pending Securing of ln-
 formation.

Washington, March 3o.-The views of the United States government re- garding the sinking by the German cruiser Priz Eitel Friedrich of the American ship William P. Frye, final ly have been put in the form of a note, which is is expected, will soon be communicated to the German government through Ambassador Ge- rarr7 at Berlin
 Preparation of the document has been considerably delayed owing to the difficulty in securing adequate in formation regarding the ownership of the cargo of grain of the Frye, but it has now been established that this cargo was sold while the ship was on the high seas and before she was sunk. As the sale was not made to the British government, but to a pri- vate firm, 1t is held that the liability of the German government for dam ages for its destruction is unques- tionable.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 ABOUT THE ODENWALD
Had No Arms and No Unusual Quan-
 tity of Provisions or Coal.

Washington, March 30.-Additional information about the attempt of the German steamship Odenwald to slip out of the harbor of San Juan, with out clearance papers, week ago Sun day was received here tonight from Collector of Customs Richardson, one of the central figures in the drama which led to the seizure of the Oden- wald by the United States marshal for alleged violation of American neu- trality.
 MT. Richardson's report, the first full official account of what happened at San Juan to reach Washington was sent to the state department and may be turned over to the depart ment of justice for use in it's pros pective suit to conhscate the vessel.
 The Odenwald had taken on coal and provisions just before starting out of the harbor, but Collector Richard son says she had no unusual quanti ties aboard, nor were there any arms or ammunition. Some officials think however, that the report supports the belief that the dash. to sea was care fully planned and timed just at the right moment to meet another steam ship waiting in the off1ng. The pres ence of this steamer had only been hinted at in previous official reports, but Richardson declares that he per sonally saw clouds of smoke outside the harbor as the Odenwald got under way and he encloses statements from other persons who saw a large steam CT just at this time 8 short distance outside.

STRIKE ON STREET
 RAILWAY AT SPRINGFIELD.
300 Men Affected on the Palmer and
 Westfield Division.

Springfield, Mass, March 31-A strike on the Springfield, Palmer and Westfield divisions of the Springfield Street Railway system will go ineo ef- feet at o'clock this morning, when the crews of the last all-night cars ran their cars into the barns. The strike order followed a conference between officials of the New nEgland Invest ment and Security company and mem- bers of the executive board of the To- cal trolleymen's union late yesterday afternoon, at which time the griev- ances of the trolleymen were discuss ed. The trOlleymen made three spe- ciffc requests but the company's an- sWer on the two most important re- quests failed to meet with the approv- al of the representatives of the union. The strike will affect about 800 men In this city, Westfield and Palmer. Worcester trolleymen will not be al lowed to bring their cars west of Brimfield.
 The three requests submitted by the trolleymen were that the company be installed no more men should be dis on its system so that transfers could be rung up; that until the registers De installed no more men Sho1d be dis charged for irreguIarity in handling fares and that the three men 9 had been recsnHy discharged for that cause should be reinstated. The off ciaLs of the company acceded to the first request provided the men re- mained at work. They refused to con- sider the second request entirely, but they expressed willingness to arbi- trate the third request The men in sisted on the acceptance Of all three requests, stating enphatically that shey should go out on strike if they were not granted.
 The action regarding the three con- ductors discharged by the company several weeks ago was taken by mem bers of the local troleymen's union on Monday night, following a conference last Friday with officials of the street railway company. The members of the union voted Monday on the ques- tion of a strike, the question being presented to the men for 'tyes'' or mo" vote in the form of the following question:
 ''The company refuses to accede to your demands in regard to the rein stating the three conductors, but will consider the advisability of putting in transfer registers. Are you in fla vor Of enforcing your demands even to the suspension of work?''
 The men voted by a large majority to authorize the executive board to call the strike in the event of failure to settle the matter peaceably with the street railway officials.
