BRIDGEPORT HOMES IN PERIL FROM LACK OF INSPECTION OF
 THEIR WIRING FOR ELECTRICITY

the cheapest kind of material that will pass enforced inspection; that in some cases no insulation is utilized; that the building inspection depart ment of Bridgeport is so inadequate in size as to make it necessary for the building inspectors to almost totally ignore electrical wS-Ing; and many other similar assertions that caused A. J. Hixson, of Boston, former in- spector for Fire Underwriters, to de- clare that if he were an insurance underwater in Connecticut he would leave the convention and stay in Bridgeport until radical changes had been made.
 MT. Sullivan's statements include the assertion that in Bridgeport he knows one house where wiring con- tractor in leading wires from the attic to the basement saved piping by knocking brick out of chimney running the wires down the f1ue that is in use and knocking another brick out in the cellar to lead the wires out.
 At a State \street restaurant near Howard avenue the assertion was made that a cut-out box supposedly open has been buried three feet be- low ground to save expense-a dan

M|LL|ONAIRE'S ESTATE IS SUED BY ALLEGED SON Claiming $. J. Hyde of Greenwich is Father, Youth
 Wants $400, ,00O. MOTHER PAID $2,OOO A YEAR, HE DECLARES Three Heirs Defendants In Unique Action Brought
 In Superior Court.

In an effort to get his share of the s2,1S9, ,435.12 estate left by Seymour j.. Hyde of Greenwich, Albert J. Dona- hue, who claims to be a son of the woolen goods manufacturer, has brought suit against executors of the Hyde estate for $4OO,O0O Theresa Don ahue, mother of Albert. has also brought proceedings against the exec utors to recover s33,750 which she al- leges Hyde promised to bequeath her because of the wrong he had done.
 In papers filed today in the superior court the defendants named in both actions are Elizabeth Worrall Hyde of Greenwich. James J. Allen of Chat ham, N. r., and Walter Worrall of Pelham, N. Y. Theresa Donahue says Hyde was the father of Albert, who was born May IS, 1886. Hyde acknowl- edged his guilt, the complainant states, and promised to provide for the moth CT. Until his death he paid her $2,00O a year. She says he agreed to leave her enough so that she would get $2,000 a year after he died but she was not mentioned in the will. She is now AS years old and figures she has 12 years at least to live. She made claim against th4 estate but it was disal- lowed. @ .-s~e
 Albert Donahue declares Hyde edu- cated and supported him in his youth. Hyde told the plaintiff he would get share with the other children but noth- ing was mentioned in the will about this. In April, 1884, Hyde married Elizabeth Worra1l and the couple had five children. Albert Donahue sues to recover one-dxth of two-thirds of the estate. Both suits are returnable to the October term of cour..

 53 HURT IN
 R.R. SMASH
Gateman and Crews of Trol- lev Car and Switch En- zine Are Held While Five Boards Investigate Tragedy at Detroit.
Some of Seriously Hurt May Die . Trolley Car is Smashed by Freight and Toppled Over - Gates Were Not Lowered.

Detroit, Mich., Oct. 2.-Val- rentine Choinsky, Igateman for the Grand Trunk Railway at it's Forest avenue crossing, was taken into custody today. His detention was the first phase of an investigation by the prosecuting attorney of the grade crossing accident at mid night last night in which eight persons were killed and B in jjured when a crosstown trolley crowded with passengers col lided with three freight cars and a switch engine. i County officials also have detained William Carter, motorman, and Alex ander Clistre, conductor, who were Tn charge of the street car, and Gibson, engineer. and Robert O'Keefe, freight conductor.
 Choinsky, a cripple, and employed by the railroad company only few days ago. was on duty when the cars came together, but left the scene of the ac- cident and was not found until this morning.
 Five of the dead were identified at the morgue this forenoon. All were from Detroit. The bodies of one Wo- man and two men have not been iden- !tifed.
 Police records show that all of the injured persons thus far reported were local residents. Among those most se- riously injured are:
 Anthony Fronceak, both legs cut on; Mrs. Edward voss. fractured ribs and skull injured; Annie, Droonskock, in ternal injuries and scalp wounds; three unidentified men badly injured and unconscious.
 i The switch engine with the three freight cars ahead, was southbound and the trolley was going west on ktne city One of the freight cars caught the trolley almost in the cen ter and swung it off the tracks until it stood almost parallel with the mov- ing freight cars. Most of those who met death were killed by jumping from the windows and falling under the wheels of the freight cars.
 Five separate investigations are ex- pected to be under way early today in an effort to place responsibility for the accident. They will be made by the state railroad commission, the coron- CTS office, the prosecuting attorney, the Grand Trunk Railroad and the Detroit United Railway.
 Conflicting stories were told by the few persons who witnessed the crash, One was to the effect that there were no lights on the freight car that struck the trolley and another that the crossing gates were not lowered.
 Last nights accident was the sec- ond to occur this year at the Forest 1 avenue crossing.

Bridgeport electrical inspection is a farce, the most dangerous conditions are known to fire insurance compan- ies to exist in the city, but overlooked because of the higher rates that are charged policy holders, the adminis- tration has repeatedly refused to ap- point an inspector to relieve condi- tions, and the situation now is so bad that in A houses under construction one firm has put in outlet boxes for the protection of houses and another firm has ripped them out for personal gain without opposition from the au- thoritieS.
 These are charges made on Thurs day last By James Sullivan, business agent of the Bridgeport Electrical Workers union, substantiated in part by John Hotz of the firm of Fitzpatrick & Hotz, before the New England E1ec- trical Contractors convention at Hart ford.
 Other charges brought before the convention, to the astonishment of contractors and underwriters from other cities and states are to the eff feet that nearly three-quarters of the houses in Bridgeport are unsafe from lack of inspection; that the outside builders attracted to Bridgeport by the building boom are substituting
