SHOPS BURN DOWN
Flames Destroy Big Plant in

LOSS is OVER 100000
Enormous Amount of Supplies and

imperial Lives of Firemen.

New Hayen.-Three large shops and
several smaller buildings in the yards
of the New York New Haven & Hart
ford railroad, near Spring, were de-
stroyed by FIRE causing an estimated
loss Of 100000
The fire started in a house where
iron was stored; spread to the paint
shop, where hundreds of barrels of
varnish and paint caught fire; then
jumped to the signal equipment store
house, the boiler shop, tank shop and
storehouse office.
The fremen were handicapped by
low water pressure and it was not
until after midnight that the blaze
was controlled. For nearly an hour
there was a steady series of explosions
of track torpedoes, stored in one of
the buildings, and the work of fight
ing the blaze was made perilous.
Several freight cars were partly
burned. All trains on the main line
we're held up for several hours, but
after midnight traffic was resumed.
The blaze was spectacular, lighting
sons flocked to the scene. Many Yale
students assisted the fremen in run
ming the lines of hose and otherwise.
II was necessary to shut off the cur
rent of the high tension wires of the
electric system to avoid danger to the
fremen. A statement issued by the
railroad said that it would be impos-
nf
the officials of the company, how
ever. who is well informed as to
the contents of the destroyed build
ings, said that the loss would APP
proximate 5000 900.
Three box cars and wooden bag
gage car were destroyed
Two steel cars and several box cars
were badly damaged
The blaze was discovered by Mi
chael Early, one OF the railroad
watchmen. An alarm was turned in
al once. Early and two others turn
ed a stream of water on the fire. 1t
was seen. however. that the blaze had
gotten good start and an alarm for
the city department was turned in,
followed a few minutes later by a
second alarm. Within few minutes
the flames shot through the roof and
spread rapidly to other buildings. One
OF the buildings saved after a nara
fight was used for the storage OF
heavy maintenance and way material
A house in which patterns were stored
was also saved.
II is said that in one of the burned
buildings was $4,000 worth of in
sulated wire.

hington.-Before acting upon the
recent submarine atrocities the State
Department is to inquire of Berlin II
any German submarine commanders
are responsible for these outrages. A
similar request will. in all probability,
be made to Austria, inasmuch as it
was upon the joint avowal of Germany
and Austria that the new form of SUBJ
marine warfare was inaugurated. In
German quarters it was rumored that
If it is found that German submarine
sank the Sussex or the Englishman,
the Imperial German Government will
disavow the act and punish the COM
mander responsible.
The reports that all American pas
sengers on the Sussex had been ac-
counted for did not relieve the ten
sion here in the least.
The State Department is still in
vestigating the submarine activities.
So far the Department has no ma
terial facts upon which to base a judg-
ment as to how the Englishman came
to its doom. It may have been
through the fundamentally of sub
marine and it may have been a mine.
Urtil this point has been cleared up
there viii be no ground Tor action. In
the case of the Sussex, however, the
circumstances are different, Several
passengers are reported to have tosti-
fed that they saw the wake of a
torpedo before the explosion. It is
furthermore reported that a French
official found a piece of bronze on the
deck following the explosion and this
must have been from a torpedo. Fur
Their testimony is to the fact that the
quartermaster swung the vessel upon
seeing the wake of the torpedo
On the other hand it was pointed
out at the State Department that no
one has as yet testified that a subma-
rine was sighted. and no one has as
yet testified that a torpedo itself was
seen.
