P. Q.
 SAFE BLOWN BY DARING YECCMEN

Colchester, Conn.,, Sept. 20.-The~ To- cal post office was broken into and the safe blown open and robbed early to- day. The amount of booty secured by the thieves could not be determined. in the absence of the postmaster, J. J. Sullivan, who was in New Haven over night. Word of the robbery was sent to him in that city and he was ex- pected home today.
 An examination of the big steel safe showed that an attempt had been made to pry the heavy outer door open and that nitro-glycerine had then been poured in and set off On the floor near the safe were two thick horse blankets which had evidently been used to wrap about the safe to deaden the sound of the explosion Nothing else in the office had been touched, as far as could be deter mined.
 The post office is in the business center of the town and located in 8 building in front of which there is an electric street Light. The lights, how ever, go out at 1 o'clock and it is be- 1ieved it was during the succeeding period of darkness that the break was made. Several persons living not far from the place said today that they heard several dull sounds like an ex- plosion during the early morning but paid little attention to them as they were not very distinct Another re- port was that an automobile was heard about the center some time be- fore daybreak but no definite clue to the robbers has been secured.

CHIEF INQUIRIES , INTO CAUSES OF
 FACTORY BLAZE
Investigate Belief That Wa ter Go. is Required to Noti-
 fy of Shutting Off Water.

An investigation is being made this afternoon by Chief Daniel B. Johnson to learn if there is city ordinance that requires the Bridgeport Hydrau- lie Co. to report shutting off the water supply in any section of the city, to the fire department.
 A stubborn three alarm fire, which for a time threatened to assume such proportions as to become a condagra- ton, yesterday gutted the pattern de- partment of the Automatic Machine Co.,, 113 East Washington avenue, and caused a damage at present estimated at $1O,000.
 The blaze is believed to have been caused by a back fire from an engine, which was being tested in the testing room under the pattern shop, at 5 o'clock, just as the men were quitting work for the day.
 Gasoline vapor, waste oil and other inflammab1e material which passes from the machines into a trough in the room, suddenly ignited, an explo- sion followed. The place became an inferno. Three alarms were sounded; i; the fire department on its arrival find ing that the water in Hou3atonic ave nue had been shut off by the Hydrau- lie Co.,, while repairs were being made to trunk line. The fire department had received no notification to that effect s3
 For nearly 20 minutes the fire ragged, while two companies of the depart ment stood by helpless and unable to get water. Adjacent to the machine ship is the lumber yard of Frank Miller, the McGee Coal O., and the Sprague Ice and Coal Go. Just as it to these adjoining buildings, Assistant Chief Beardsley. by shifting several companies to Main street and other nearby points, managed to,concentrate several streams on the building. The water was then turned on in the hitherto inactive hydrants and the department managed to confine the blaze to the pattern building. Huge pillows of smoke filled the air and crowds from all parts of the citYwere drawn to the scene A hum dred persons standing in Housatonic avenue were drenched with water when one of the lines of hose burst For a time a number of the fire men were in imminent danger of electrocution by live wires, while fighting the flames. in the rear of the building, but all electric power was finally shut off.
 The Automatic Machine Co.,, is an old concern and manufactures sta tionaryN and marine engines. General Manager Leeds said this morning that as the patterns of the concern are scattered throughout the country and it is not known just how many were stored in { the pattern building, it would be impossible, to estimate the loss to certainty.
