Low Hung Trolley
 Wire Imperils Life
 of Remington Nurse

A lowered trolley span wire above the headlight glare of a Remington Arms Co.'s despatch car threatened decapitation to Miss Hazel Walsh, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Walsh, of 53 Porter street, a nurse, who was being transported from her duties at the factory to her home.
 According to such information as has been gleaned from various official sources the car was proceeding along Congress street when it approached the lowered wire. The wire was so stretched that it barely escaped be- ing struck by the car radiator and the first intimation the occupants had was when the wire crossed the wind shield and shattered the glass. Quick action in stopping the car with the breaking of the strand probably saved Miss Wa1sh's life for her neck afterwards bore the imprint where the wire had passed quickly across before the car was stopped. The driver is said to have escaped all in- jured.
 Miss Walsh is at her home today under care of a physician and is said to be suffering from the shock of her experience as well as her bruises.

MANAGER OF LUMBER YARD SURE WORKMAN WAS BLOWN IN RIVER

CnarIeS Wylie, manager of tha A " Burritt Co.,, lumber dealers, in Know,- ton street, whose docks are directly across the Pequonnock river from the structural iron shop in which the ex- plosion occurred, is quite sure he saw the body of a man whose arms and feet dangled awkwardly in the air and then struck the river, and the water close over the workman.
 l was standing on the dock with three other men, all of whom saw the explosion and we thought we saw mans body drop into the river. The shock of the explosion rocked .he dock on which We stood and a sheet of flame enveloped the shop.
 ''Ihe barge captain evidently saw the man thrown into the river. After the burned men had been taken away some workers engaged in building .he new bridge at Grand street, who are employed by DeVoe Tomkins got a skiff and dragged with grappIing irons for the workman. we thought had been drowned.
 From where I was standing on the dock it seemed to me they were drag ging too far out in the river and I mo- toned them to get in closer to the dock. They dragged every inch about the dock but couldn't seem to find anything. T. may be that and others who witnessed the explosion mistook a part of the structure which was blown into the river for man. But on the other hand I felt quite sure I saw a workman's body land in the water.''

DRAFT MAY BE USED TO
 FILL RANKS
Coast Artillery and Naval Volunteers Organizations Not Yet Recruited Up to War Strength Despite Call.
System Will Be Employed in Stamford Monday If Ninth Company Fails to Get Required Number of Soldiers.

Unless the planned demonstration for Sunday brings the Coast Artll- lery companies and the Naval Volun- teers here up to the requisite war strength, it may be necessary to re- sort to a draft here to procure the needed men. Under recent act of the General Assembly all male citizens between IS and 45 years are liable for military service and may be taken into the service by draft if at any time sufficient number cannot be procured under the volunteer system.
 The practicability of drafting to fill the depleted ranks of the Coast Artillery companies as discussed last evening at a conference of the officers of the corps held in the State Arr mory. It was decided to leave the matter with the officers as to the course to be pursued Today an- nouncement was made in Stamford that unless by Saturday enough re- cruits can be obtained to bring the Ninth company of that city to war strength, a draft will be placed in force Monday It is expected that the same course may be adopted by the Seventh company of that city.
 The Ninth company is commanded by Capt. Charles H. Metcalf and ct present is guarding railroad bridges at the eastern end of the state. The company has 66 enlisted men and should have 109 enlisted men and three officers.
 The organizations in this city are much fbelow war strength. The Sec ond company has S2 men and two off, cers. The Fourth company has 79 and three officers, one being on 90 days leave of absence The Eleventh com pay has 5S men and two officers. The Third division National Naval Volun- teers has 59 men and one officer. The Fourth company requires 150 men and three officers to bring 1t to war strength. The other two companies require 109 enlisted men and three of f1cers each. The Naval Volunteers should have S2 men and three off, cers.
 In the event of a draft being placed in force, the officers will draw from the unmarried men, whose ages are between IS and 35 years. Twice as many as are needed will be drawn at first to make allowance for those re- jected because of physical disability.
 If the requisite number of recruits is not procured by this, the first draft, a second one will be resorted to.
 Officers of the local battalion were of the opinion today that recruits in sufficient number will respond and a draft will not. be necessary.

STATE LIKELY TO
 SUPERVISE MEAT
 INSPECTION HERE
Commissioner of Domestic Animals Suspects Work Is
 Being Slighted Here

Bridgeport's inspection of inter- state cattle brought here to slaughter is the subject of discussion today in the capital where Dr. Frank A. In- gram deputy commissioner of domes- tic animals is considering the advisa- bility of assigning a state inspector to this city.
 Because of the contract between the health board and pr. A. C.. Knapp, meat inspector for the city, whereby he is paid and required to give but a small portion of his time to city work, there is a fear in the office of the commissioner of domestic animals that much diseased meat is being foisted upon Bridgeport dealers by unscrupu- lous cattle-dealers.
 Though this fear has not as yet inn parted itself to the federal authorities, Dr. w. H. Brown, head of the Bridge port health department said that he would welcome permanent location of either state or federal inspector in this city.
 With the completion of the new slaughter house, with it's modern ab- batoir, refrigerating system and gen. erally modernized plan of operation much larger shipments of cattle to this city from other states than ever before are expected.
 With an inspector who can give bu. portion of his time to the post -mor- tenn examination of beef cattle, pr. Brown agrees with Deputy Commis- sioner Ingrahm that the opportunity of passing some beef that may not be up to state standards exists. Plans for a more efficien. system of inspection are now being taken up by the health board, but definite action has not been taken because of the re- fusal of the board of apportionmen. to grant the S1,500 appointment request ed for that purpose.
 Word was received in this city on March from Hartford 70 the effect that Dr. J. M. Curry, state inspector, had investigated conditions in Bridge port and found that inadequate in- spection of interstate cattle for state record purposes existed here.

HOME GUARDS SOUGHT TO PROTECT PROPERTY

Hartford, March 30.-Numerous re- quests have been presented to Home Guard authorities for guards for prop erty, mostly of a public character. Those making the requests are asked to lay the matter before their local authorities first, since it is not the purpose, desire or intent of the Hom9 Guard organization to step in where local governments are amply provided with means to care for situations which may deevlop.
 The military emergency board today appointed the following temporary of- icers to command the companies of the New Haven Home Guard:
 Colonel-J. Richard North.
 Adjutant-Captain Carl F. Bollman.
 Quartermaster-Capt George H. Scranton.
 Company commanders-Capt. Fred erick G. Crash and Captain Edgar Thomas.
 Major Grover c. Sweet has been ap- pointed to organize a hospital and sanitary unit of the Elm City guard and Major Montgomery Phelps has been appointed to organize cavalry unit. New examining surgeons ap- pointed today included Dr. W. Martin. stahl for Danbury and pr. Robert E. Pusdue, for Norwalk.

Wilson Busy
 Drafting His War Message
Holds Final Conference With Cabinet at Which Recommendations to Spe- cial Session of Congress Are Considered.

washington, March Sg-Steps in anticipation of President Wilson's ap- pearance before congress next week and for action on whatever recon- mendations he may make to meet the national emergency began to take fi- nal form today. These steps were:
 The president held a final confer ence with his cabinet preparatory to starting the actual writing of the ad- dress he will deliver before joint assemblage of the house and senate.
 House democrats held a caucus to consider plans for organizing the house by their party and commit tee of 27 Republicans met to prepare its final recommendations for orga- nization of the house which will be laid before a caucus of republicans to- morrow.
 Plans for raising revenue were con- sidered at meeting of democratic members of the house committee on ways and means.
 Senator Chamberlain. chairman of the senate military committee. after his conference with the president yes- terday over his universal military training plan, agreed to press for prompt action in the senate on the regular army appropriation bill, which failed at the last session, as soon as 1t comes over from the house.
 The senator assured the president that he already has authority, without further congressional action, to raise immediately an army of more than 100000 by increasing the regu- lar army to war strength and calling out the entire national guard, at war strength.
 Reports of submarines having been seen off Montauk point on Monday night we're believed today to have been disposed of by Secretary Daniels announcement that in reality they were patrol motor boats returning to Long Island sound after trial trips.

DISPUTE OVER,
 CARPENTERS GO
 BACK TO WORK
Jurisdictional Disagreement on Austin Go. Job Is
 Settled.

The strike of carpenters on the jobs of the Austin Construction Co. has been settled and as a result, several score of men returned this noon to work on the Graphophone Go. adh- tions and the new warehouse that is being built in Singer avenue.
 A telegram was received by Busi- ness Agent Martin Kane this morning from w. l.. Hutchinson, general pres ident of the Carpenters Brotherhood, aDnouncing the settlement, and that it had been made satisfactory to the carpenters.
 The strike originated in Philadel- phia where there was a jurisdictionAl dispute between the metal trades workers and the carpenters over the installation of metal window frames. The boss of the job there awarded the work to the metal tradesmen and as result the carpenters walked out. Business Agent Kane said today that the work has been turned over to the carpenters, on all the Austin jobs throughout the country.
