 It is noticeable that number of shrewd operators whom 1t is known have cleaned up fabulous sums since May wheat stood around $2.20 have withdrawn from the market entirely, and a careful watch is being kept on their movements as a rumor Is in cir culation that they may pool their interests and make a bear rald on the market that would cause the bot tom to drop out.

 Officials Ruling.


 After next Monday, Bridgeport will rank as a first class district in the Internal Revenue Department, &C., cording to an announcement today by Collector James J. Walsh. The raising of the rank of the local office will carry with it the sale here of stamps for beer, cigars and tobacco containers.
 Heretofore, purchasers of the stamps have been required to go to New Haven or Hartford for their needs After considerable negotia- tions with the Treasury Department Collector Walsh has been authorized to designate Bridgeport as first class office where the stamps may be sold The change will be a great convenience to users of the stamps and marks another forward step in the progressive administration of Mr. Walsh.
 Collector Walsh was here today ar- ranging details for the new work. MT Walsh says that he expects the in- come tax for the district this year will be nearly trebled. This is due to an increase in the tax rate and also to the fact that many more persons are liable to the tax this year.
 It is estimated that nearly 0,0O0,- 900 in income taxes will be collected this year. The munitions tax, MT Walsh said, will be collected at Hart ford.

INT0xICATlON IS DEFENSE OF PAIR
 IN MURDER TRIAL
Attorneys For Defendants Petition Judge For
 Clemency.

Intoxication was the principal req son for clemency asked by counsel for Henry w. Welch and Edward Slat- tery, when arguments for the young men accused of the Nathan Garon murder started this morning before Judge Reed and jury in the criminal superior court.
 tears to the eyes of two jurors and even caused the prisoners to show signs of emotion as he pictured the grief of Welch's mother if her boy should be found guilty of first degree murder. Attorney Marr declared no man on the witness. stand had said Welch was guilty of anything and he claimed Welch had no gun when the gangsters entered Garon's store. The lawyer asserted Slattery took the gun from Welch Attorney Marr said Welch had a good home and had been brought up as a member of the First Presbyterian church.
 Judge William. H. Comley, Jr., said there was no question that Slattery fired the fatal shot. He stated the mere fact tat Garon is dead dosen't prove that Slattery is guilty of mur- der. He claimed the young man was drunk on the night of the murder and did not enter the store for the pur- pose of killing the proprietor. Judge Comley admitted Slattery was guilty of a crime but said it was not mur- der in the first degree.
 Prosecutor A. l.. Delaney summed up the facts in the case in a concise way without indulging in oratorical effects. The final argument for the state was made by States Attorney Cummings this afternoon. Then fol- lowed Judge Reeds charge. It was expected the case would go to the jury late this afternoon.
 At this mornings session Judge Reed denied a motion by counsel for Welch to have the state elect between the first count, charging the accused with wilful murder, and the second count, charging that they entered the store for the purpose of robbing Garon and then killed the mer- chant.

SAVES CHILDREN FROM INJURY IN POWDER BLOW-UP U. M. c. Go. Guards Shelter Boys and Girls While
 Debris Showers Street. ILLUMINATE HOUSE
 BLOWN TO PIECES Nobody Hurt in Explosion As Result of New Safety
 Devices Efficacy.

An explosion in illuminate pit of the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, in Seaview avenue, this morning. demol- ished an entire building which was hurled high in the air and but for the presence of r1ind of company guards probably would have struck six children on their way through Arctic street to St. Charles parochial school.
 Following the detonation which caused quantities of glass to fly from the windows of the big plant and a few houses in the neighborhood, guards at the Arctic street entrances of the Remington Arms Union Metal lie Cartridge Co.'S plants were able to see the illuminate house rise directly into the air and separate into pieces, similar to the explosion of bombs from a mortar.
 Realizing the danger of the <chil- 5dren who stood almost transfixed to the sidewalk. two of the guards Fxsh- ed from their posts and grabbing the terrified children herded them into one of the. post, houses.
 Their retreat was in the nick of time for a few pioments later the de- bris began to beat upon the pavement and about the fences and house in yeritable avalanche. A large part of the illuminate mixing house tore . gaping hole in the company's high board fence. '.
 An empty pair of mems overalls lodged at the top of tall tree in the vicinity and happing idly in the breeze mortified employees and preeaged fa- tality until close investigation of ccm-: pany officials determined that noboGv was in the mixing house at the time of the explosion, which occurred at S:13 a. m. The news that no one was injured restored the apprehen- sions of the many men and girls working in adjoining houses, thodgh the company's policy of stopping all work on powder and illuminate for the morning period was at once put into force.
 After years of careful study in every department with view towards eliminating dangers from explosives or shot, the illuminate division, by the adoption of devices installed for auto- matic mixing of the detonating mix lures, is believed to have become one of the least dangerous of all sections of the big plant.
 The explosion, the third within a year and a half, seems to confirm the belief of those responsible for the present apparatus, that it is the safety guard that has been sought
 In this mornings explosion, as in the two previous ones none was in. jured. This is due to the fact that each shed behind it's barrier of earth in the form of high mounds Is sep arate from each other pit and house and nobody Is in the building when the dangerous process of mechanic ally mixing the chemical clements be. gins. This is done by means of mo- tive power transmitted by revolving shafts through the big earthworks themselves.
 Tn years gone by this mixing of the dry as we'll as the wet detonating substances was done by hand. The slightest accident meant instant death to at least one person and sometimes more than one.

CHILD'S H0ED-UP
 STORY BELIEVED ''FAKE" BY COPS
West End Girl Tells Tale of Sensational Rescue By
 Kind-Hearted Peddler.

, Complaining she was bound, a hand kerchief tied around her face to smother her cries, and then beaten by a man who attacked her in the hall- way of her home, Al Osborn street, yesterday morning shortly after Il o'clock, Sophia. Radavis, II years, to- day complained to the police. Because of certain inconsistent statements of the girl, Capt. D. O. Cronan is inclined to believe the whole story fabrication. The girl as- serts she lett the Longfellow school at II o'clock, having permission from her teacher to go home and take in her mothers washing which was hanging on the line. It was showing and the girl said her mother was out working and could not return to remove the clothing from the yard to the house.
 She states she took the clothes off the line and brought them into the hall way when a man jumped on her, tied her legs and hands with a rope and placed handkerchief over her mouth. She says the handkerchief did not gag her and her cries attracted the atten- tion of 8 peddler who rushed into the hallway and engaged her assailant.
 They fought all over the hallway,
 
 intruder to rout. As the latter fled out the back way of the house, tie
 girl says, she arose from the floor and
 ran back to school, The girl in her statement says:
 "He pulled my ears nearly from my head and beat me on the nose When he ran out the back door pursued by the peddler ran back to school How she could run back to school if her hands were tied behind her back, the same rope stretching downward and binding her legs together is some thing the police cannot understand and the girl does not give any ex-
 planation of her extraordinary feat
 Mrs. Mary Nichols, who lives in the same house, says she heard no noise of men fighting or struggling, and a
 male rooner in the house heard no
 commotion. The police cannot find the peddler.
