25 Children HURT
IN HOSPITAL Blaze
By The United Press.


FARNHAM, Que, Oct 26.-F'ive per-
sons are known to be dead and iif-
teen others are missing as the result
OF a fire which destroyed st. Eliza
beth Hospital and laundry here dur
ing the night.
Twenty-Five children were Injured
by jumping from windows. Three
hundred and fifty inmates were asleep
in the building when the fire broke
out and many Of these are unaccount-
ed for.
Patients and employees fought in
wild attempts to gain exits from the
building. Startling revelations are
promised when an investigation is
begun, for the fire-escapes are said to
have always proved defective in emer-
gencies, and many of the deaths and
injuries are attributed to the fact that
these avenues of escape were quickly
blocked.
The twenty-five or more children
who we're injured flung themselves
from third-story windows to the
pavement below when il was found no
stairways were available for their
descent.

WANTED TO BUY OLD
HARTFORD CITY HALL
$40 q Week Clerk Is Committed to
Norwich State Hospital.

Joseph G. Shulman, of 80 Elmer
street, Hartford, was committed to
the Norwich State hospital on appn-
cation of his brothers, by Judge L.
P. Waldo Marvin in the Hartford pro-
bate court Wednesday, after hearing
medical testimony.
The attorney for young Shulman
made it clear that he did not oppose
the application for the commitment,
other than to ascertain whether 1t was
advisable that it be to a state or a
private institution.
The young man recently attained
considerable publicity by calling at
the Hartford mayors office and seek
ing an option to purchase the old city
hall property for $1.000,000 while he
secured backing from J. Pierpont
Morgan to obtain the money. Shul-
mans plans called for the erection of
a mammoth business and hotel build
ing, covering the entire site, at a cost
of 100000 more. It appeared in
court that Shulman drew salary of
$40 week from the dry goods bus
mess in which his brothers are In
terested. He seemed to be consider
ably interested in the court proceed
ings and laughed when his elder
brother inadvertently elevated his left
hand when about to be sworn. The
brothers informed the court that the
value of Shulman's interest was about
$1,000.
The young man requested, after the
hearing, that 1t be made clear that
he>was going to the institution volun-
tarily, to allow him time to work out
some Of his plans.

Don't disregard the warning. A lit

scHooNERs ON NEW
LONDON HARBoR ROCKS
Parting Of Wheel Rope Cause Of 40
oident-Both Gotten OFF.

Two large schooners, the Hartney
W., Of Parrsboro. Nova Scotia and the
winniegance of Phippsburgh, Me-,
went on the rocks near the New Lon
don lighthouse within a half hour
early Wednesday morning seriously
damaging the Hartney W. The
parting of the wheel rope Of the
Hartney w. was the cause OF the
accidents to both vessels.
Loaded with pilling, bound from
command of Capt. William E. Was
son, the Hartney w. entered har-
Dor at O'Clock yesterday morning
the schooner parted and before re-
pairs could be made the boat crashed
bow foremost on the rocks.
About half hour later the schoon-
er Winniegance, bound for New York
with a cargo of smoked herring, en-
tered the harbor and seeing the Hart
ney w. on the rocks the pilot of the
| WinEfegance thought the other
schooner was swinging out into the
stream, not knowing that she was on
| the rocks. The Hartney was showing
no lights. The Winniegance attempt
ed to swerve out of the supposed
| course of the Hartney w. and in so
| doing she crashed onto the rocks.
Both vessels remained where they
struck until daylight.
A call was sent to the T. A. Scott
Co.. and in the early dawn wreclxing
| fleet was sent to the assistance of the
stranded schconers. Passing lines to
the schooners tug T. A. Scott, Jr.,
pulled the boats off the rocks into the
stream. It was then found that the
Hartney w. was leaking badly the
seams having been opened by the
shock of striking the rocks.
The Hartney w. was leaking so
badly it was necessary to tow her to
the Scott Co. wharf where repairs
will be made. The Winniegance went
to an ancorage in the stream but was
able late yesterday morning to get
away, bound west.
The fact that tire was very little
sea running probably saved an extern
sive loss.

NEW TAX MAY GIVE
STATE $1,5oo, 900
Big Revenue Expected to Come in
From Corporations Under the New
Law.

The clerks in the office of the tax
comm missioner at Hartford are busy on
the preliminary ork for the colec-
ton of the income tax on corpora
tons. This is one of the new taxes
levied by the general assembly at the
last session.
When it was proposed and under
discussion before the committee on
finance 1t was suggested that the tax
would yield a revenue of about 5000
600. It is now expected that the rev.
enlte from the tax will be in the
neighbarhood of S1,5o0,o0o for this
year if. indeed, it will not be nearer
100000. The excess over the es-
timated revenue will be due largely
to the profits from the manufacture
of munitions which were not expect
ed when the measure was passed by
the legislature.
The tax will be paid by over 5000
corporations. This number includes
foreign corporations, which are do
ing business in this state. The tax
commissioner will receive a return
from each corporation.

DENIES INJUNCTION
IN AUCTION CASE
Judge Waller Gives Decision on Aue-
ton at kneeIand Chapman Farm at
North Stoninqton.

Judge c. B. Waller Of the common
pleas court rendered his decision on
Wednesday in the matter of an ap-
plication that was argued before him
the Injunction which was asked by
John Wilkinson to prevent the hold
ing of an auction sale on Jan. of
the home farm of the late Kneeland
Chapman in North Stonington. As
the injunction is denied the sale will
now go ahead today to which the
postponement was taken.
The CASE presented some very and
novel points in that John Wilkinson,
who was a bidder at q former sale,
sought to recover the property, claim
ing that his bid entitled him to pos
session.
In February. 1915, KneeIand Chap
man died. leaving the farm among
other real estate, and Martin o.
Chapman was named as executor. In
October of the same year the executor
petitioned the court Of probate for
the district, Of North stonington for
leave to sell the real estate, and after
the petition was granted the executor
advertised the property for sale at
public auction on Dec. 9, 1915, on the
premises.
On that day there were a number
of people present and the bidding was
started by a bid Of $500, when John
Wilkinson raised the bid to $700, and
while the auctioneer, G. A. Pendieton,
was looking for larger bid, which he
failed to get, the sale was announced
as continued for two weeks.
Mr.. Wilkinson has filed a bill of
complaint, claiming that the prop
erty was legally struck off to him and
that he is ready to pay the money
asked and asking that the title to the
property be vested in him and that
the executor be restrained from SELL
ing.
The matter presented some very
novel questions in regard to auctions
and the rights of bidders at public
sales. Augustine T. L. Ledwidge re-
presented Mr.. Wilkinson and Brown
&Perkins of this city appeared for
the estate.
