THREE BURNED TO
DEATH AT ANDOVER
Charred Bodies Found Today in Ruins
of HoteI-One Victim Former
Business Man.

Andover, Oct 17.-Three men lost
their lives in the burning of an un-
occupied hotel here during the night.
This became known today when
searchers going over the ruins came
upon three charred bodies. One Of
them was identified as that of James
Upton, at one time a prominent bust
mes man of the town. The other
two have not been identified and 1T
is believed were tramps. Upton was
about IS years old and married.
The hotel, which was located near
the railroad station was owned by
Edwin Loomer of East Hartford. 1t
had not been profitable, it was stated
since Andover went no-license two
years ago, and recently the place had
been closed and the furniture re-
moved. Reports last night were
that shortly before the fire was dis
covered three men, thought to be
tramps, had been seen lettering near
the place. The belief was expressed
today that the men had gone into the
place to sleep and having fallen asleep
while smoking the fire started from
their pipes

Big GUNS FORCED
RUMANIAN RETREAT
Austro-German Artillery Superior
in Range, Says Bucharest
FIGHTING IS STILL BITTER
Defenders Optimistic as Winter Draws
Near-Germans Heavily Attack
port Advances on Somme Front.

London, Oct. II, 1927 a. m.-The
latest dispatches from Bucharest
show that fighting Of an extremely
bitter character is still going ON in
all the Transylvanian passes. Ac-
cording to news dispatches, the Ru-
manian retreat from Pennsylvania
was chiefly due to the heavy guns of
the Austro Germans which outranged
the Rumanian artillery.
Military experts direct attention
chiefly to the Predeal and Buxen
Passes, the former leading directly to
the valuable oil fields of Prahova VAL
ley while the latter is the road to the
important railway junction of Boxen
connecting Bucharest with northern
Rumania and Russia. In neither of
these passes have the invaders made
any serious Roadway as yet.
Bucharest dispatches generally re-
gard the situation enthusiastically.
they point out that it is only neces-
sary for the Rumanian forces to hold
out a short time before the cold
weather sets in The winter will en-
able the shifting Of numerous Ru-
manian formations from points where
winter campaigns are impossible

the ground that it is inexpedient and
inadvisable to bring politics into the

said that tuberculosis was increasingly
prevalent and had risen from seven to
over thirteen per cent. Mr.. Hoover
proposes to give the children a sup
Elementary daily meal Of a cup of
