William Pfau, proprietor of the Amazon cafe in Fairfield avenue is re-, covering from an illness of two months. About eight weeks ago MT.

Thursday his physicians found it necessary to amputate the infected finger at the middle joint. Since then MT. Pfau's condition has improved and it is believed he is now well on the road to recoverX

LAKE co. MAY BE BUILDER OF : U: s. BIC SHIPS Bridgeport Concern Going After Larger Jobs Than
 Ever Before. EUROPE SEEKS TO.
 GET LOCAL BOATS Steel Interests Reported AL lied Now With Local
 Concern.

With rumors prevalent that the United States Steel Co. has bought large interests in the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.,. that a foreign government is now negotiating here for the building of a fleet of submarines and bids for 30 submarines in which the Lake Co. is g. participant, this industry is ex- pected to assume large proportions during the coming year.
 Commander Richard HIM Robin son, managing director of the company, located in this city, refused today to deny that United States Steel interests had largely interested themselves in the company, or to give further in- formation than that which has already transpiredSin New York financial cir cles about foreign government orders.
 'I am not in a position to talk about any negotiations today in view of the bids for United States submarines that will be opened at Washington tomor- row." said MT. Robinson. "1t is nev- ertheless g. fact that we have been asked to build boats by another gov ernment"
 The Lake Co. is known to have made definite bids on a number of coast de- fense submarines, substantially simi- lar to the L type of boats now build ing in the Bridgeport yards. It has been the governments policy to i'm crease it's fleet as quickly as possible and new departures from the construc- ton of the L boats are said to have been planned for this reason.
 Three large submarines are asked, of from 800 ito 1,20O tons, and of essen tiauy different type. It is hoped to get at least one of these boats for Bridgeport yards and the Lake com pany may get as many as eight of the smaller craft.
 Bids opened last week for destroyers and battleships have not as yet been awarded. Because of the fact that throughout the country are 10th to place definite time of de- livery, it is possible that some of these boats may be given to the Lake yards upon tentative promises of delivery. The company. in placing tentative bids for destroyers as well as subma- rines, has specifically offered to comS plete such boats here but will not specify contract time for delivery.
 The condition in shipyards through out the country is such that it is be- 1ieved the government will encounter much difficulty in getting boats upon specific deliveries and the chances for Bridgeport to get a goodly snare of the business with its present facilities was never better. ..
 With contracts Jet last week for six new shipways, piles for which are now being driven, the capacity of the yards would now be more than 27 boats, or four times the size of the yard ca pacity a year ago.

The state department issued this summary of Consul F'rost's despatch:
 "The British horse transport Marina with a mixed crew of British and Americans, was reported sunk without warning by German submarine gunfire at 8 D. m. Oct. 28, 100 miles west of Cape Clear, in an official report receiv- ed at the state department today from Consul Frost at Queenstown. Thirty four of the crew of 104 have been landed at Crookshaven, while 70 others. presumably those in boats one and three, are missing. Consul Frost says his information so far is purelyt provisional
 Survivors of the British freighters Rowanmore, sunk by a submarine after nearly an hours chase, were shelled after they had taken to their boats. according to another official despatch from Consul Frost. No casualties were reported.
 The freighter was bound from Ball. timore to Liverpool with a mixed cargo and was attacked by the submarine on the 18th, 1405 miles southeast or cape Clear and after 50 minutes attempt to escape. had her steering gear shof away. Thereupon she stopped, the re- port says, and signalled that she was abandoning ship, The submarine sheli- led the boats after they had cleared the ship.
 { The vessel was torpedoed at 11:so. sinking at 2:40. Seven Americans were on board. including five Filipinos and two native Americans, George Murphy, of B.ooklyn, N. r., and AL bert Sessler, of 42 Sharon street, Bos- ton.
 Although no American lives were lost In the sumbarine attack on tne Rowanmore and the ship altered ner own status if she made an attempt to e.cane officials were disturbed by the, report that the boats were shelled after they had cleared from the abandoned ship. The facts are expected to be de- termined by investigation which yas ordered begun at once. < t

 As they swung around Nash's Corner, the dampness on the Warren lite pavement caused the machine to skid. It plunged into an unusually large wooden electric light pole, and snapped 1t off at the base, throwing the pole to one side. The impact of the collision threw 1 the five passengers into the air, in all ,directions. -Cintinuing its mad course the machine caromed off a telegraph pole about 30 feet distant from the electric light pole, bounded off a tree and plunged through a fence sur rounding a vacant lot, owned by Fred. erick Nash and. came to a standstill. : Callahan was thrown by the force of the first collision a distance of about 50 feet, landing on the. giound ahead of the machine, and directly in it's path.
