For four hours or more on Thurs day, from before 11.S0 in the morning until 3.80 in the afternoon, the engine of the cftv's new Seagrave combina- tion bumper, chemical and hose car rier, worked away continuously with out a sign of strain or lack of power and smoothness and at the close of the exhaustive tests Engineer Charles R. Barker, of New York, the expert connected with the National Board of Fire Underwriters, who came here to conduct the tests, was able to report the appartus efficient and up to stand ard in every respect, and in absolutely satisfactory condition to be turned over to the city for it's use in fighting fires from now on.
 In the pumping tests. to which the greater part of the time was devoted. a capacity that exceeded by comfort ablo margin the requirements was noted by the engineer. The figures that were given out Thursday were unofficiaI, but they will not vary in any marked marked degree from the official figures which will come from the National Board of Underwriters In the course of the next week or ten days.
 The test was made on Falls avenue and started at 1130. The first trial lasted half an hour and showed the efficiency of the engine and pump in when the stream was thrown up into ute at a 25O pounds pump pressure through a one inch nozzle at the end of 800 feet of hose. Then with the pressure at 2eo pounds, the pump threw water through the 300 foot line with a one and one quarter inch noz- gle at the rate of 530 gallons every minute. There followed a two hour test with two 150 foot lines siamesed into an Eastman deluge test and at ; o'clock it was found that the appara- tuS was responding as well to this test at that time as at the outset. With one and one-half inch nozzle the engine poured out 6S5 gallons oi water at a TSessure of 165 pounds and 155 gallons Der minute at a pumT pressure of 355 pounds per squar,

GERMANS GOT CHEMICALS
 FROM CHESTER PLANT.
Used Them in Bombs and Shells Trouble When Shipments Stopped.


 It was the efforts of both Germans and allies to control the output of the MiddleseX Chemical company, of Chester. the New York Tribune said Thursday that led to a petition on Wednesday for receivership by Harry Detrich of Hartford, representing the by James F. Shaw, of Haverhill, Mass, represer ting the allies side. The Germans have been securing the pieric acids and other chemicals manufactur- ed hy the company and using them in Zeppelin bombs and gas shells. Shaw, who is said to represent a New York syndicate headed by August Belmont, on behalf of the allies contracted for 2,000 tons of picric acid, and shipments for the Germans stopped.
 Responding to Detrich's petition, Judge Futile, of the superior court, in Hartford. yesterday appointed Colon el George Pope temporary receiver of the company. Shaw alleges in his suit that the company has failed to deliver acid as contracted for. He says &he contract called for acid valued at $780, 900.
 A director of the Middlesex Chem ical company said last night that the appointment of Colonel Pope as re- ceiver would be followed by a friendly reorganization which would involve the raising of additional capital by New York financial interests. He admitted that the company had been unable to live up to some of its acid contracts, which precipitated the receivership.
 The organization of the company was completed last August, with a capitalization of S1,000,000.
 August Belmont & Co.,, were ap- pointed fiscal agents.

Should we find the proper location, we may be induced to move our fac tory from Cincinnati, to the East.

Moving Pictures and Vaudeville

Mary Pickford, the popular movie actress, was seen in the leading role Of the Paramount feature story, Little Pal, at the Auditorium theatre on Thursday.

Another of the South Amer iCan travel pictures was shown. giving glimpses of the mountain railway that rises thousands of feet in the air and which will some day connect New York with South American points.

LETTER CARRIER COLUMBIAN
 IN HEROIC ROLE.
Saved Boys Life, But Father Forgot to Thank Rescuer and Seolded Boy Instead,

Letter Carrier John L. Counihan was on the spot on Thursday after noon on Franklin street opposite the Hopkins & Allen shop just in time to save the life of the year old son of Frank Ferry, the grocer. by catching the grocer's horse by the head and bringing the wagon to a stop with the boy dangling at the horses heels be- tween the shaft and the whiffletree.
 In some way the boy had been thrown into that position as the horse started off at a fast gait and the little fellow clung there in imminent danger from the hoofs of the horse Letter Carrier Counihan was able to grab the horse by the bits, bringing him to a sudden halt. and the small boy dropped from his dangerous position unharmed.
 The father of the little fellow ap- parently hardly appreciated the peril his offspring had been in, for he began to blame the boy for starting up the horse, and overlooked the fact that some thanks might have been timely for the man who had rescued the boy from his dangerous position.

watered and Skinned Milk Expensive

Mrs. Minnie Pulser was before the borough court at Stafford Springs the other day, charged with having water ed milk in her possession with intent to sell and with having a can of skinned milk without the designating label on her wagon with the other milk. It was her second offense. Judge Heald gave the minimum fine of $7 and costs, the total amounting to $133S, for the first count, and made the second charge a fine of $7, holding over judg- ment pending no future complaints. The court called the attention of Mrs. Pulser to the leniency that it had en- tertained for her inasmuch as she was poor, but made it clear that a con- tinuance of her practice will necessi- tate a different course. Deputy Dairy and Food Commissioner Holt preferred the charges.
