One was that of Mrs J. W. Tim mons, residing at 1491 North avenue, in a two. family house. It was re- gently purchased by Harry Stark, 65 Highland avenue, ana he wishes to occupy the upper floor where Mrs. Timmons now lives. Some time ago he told, Mrs, Timmons if she would defray4 the expense of serving the downstairs family with eviction papers he would allow her to move down stairs. Not thinking this a fair ar- rangement, she refused, and as a con sequence is now ordered to move. The rent for this house a few years ago was SIS, and was raised to $20, and finally to $27. now the landlord wants $50.
 Another interesting case is that of a house owned by an Austrian alien, at 297 Harrall avenue, a Mrs. Frances Kahal. The house is occupied by three families. and the rent has been raised from $14 to $17 in the past year. The second floor tenant is also of Austrian extraction, but the fam Katherine Melee, a widow with two daughters ana small son, elgnt years old Mrs. McGee is employed by the Thomas P. Taylor Company, and is obliged to be away from home all day. The only one in the family who is at home is the small boy. The landlady has served eviction papers on Mrs. McGee, and the real estate agent has told the woman she must vacate the house by July 26. Now a short time ago, it is asserted, the 1andlady beat the boy because he went down into the back yard for his rubber ball which he had dropped from the porch. He was i'll all night in consequence, ana his mother took him to the Emergency hospital While no bones were broken, the child was i'll. Another thing the landlady is said to do is to turn off the water in the toilet during the day, so the child cannot use 1t. The tenant also reports the toilet in g very unsanitary condition, and the fiat in need of re- pair.

 Details of the robbery in which two of the train crew and a woman passenger were wounded by bullets railroad employees, seem to indicate that the robbers "shot up" the train to terrorize the passengers and crew. No attempt was made to rob the pas sengers. The engineer and fireman were forced into the smoking car The doors of the smoker and day coaches were locked and several of the rob- bers ran up and down the aisles, shooting into the floor and into the roof.
 Others of the bandits boarded the mail and express cars, uncoupled them from the rest of the train, and with their own men at the engine throttle, ran out to the main line. As they passed the standing coaches they fired into the windows
 A mile north of the siding the mail and express cars were stopped and the robbers proceeded to rife them, throwing the express safe from the car and breaking it open. They are said to have taken a quantity of reg istered mail. According to the ex- press messenger and mail clerks who also were corced into the smoker with the engine crew, there was not large amount of money in either car.

After the filing of comprehensive questionnaires by manufacturers per sonal inspection of every power plant will be made by United States fuel inspectors Each plant will be rated in one of five classes, according to the thoroughness of the owner in con- forming to the recommendations of the fuel administration. On failure of manufacturers to put these recom- mendations into effect the supply of coal may be curtailed at the discre- ton of Thomas W. Russell, fuel ad- ministrator for Connecticut, or cut off completely.
 MT. Russell is forming a statewide organization to make the new system effective.
 The industries of the United States burned 25O,00O,000 tons of coal last year. It is estimated that the en- forcement of this plan of the Federal Fuel Administration Bureau of Con- servation will achieve a saving of at least 10 and possibly 20 per cent. of this enormous total.
 The questionnaires will he sent out from Hartford to plants on list of industries compiled at Washington. Each plant owner must keep one copy of his questionnaire to show to the inspector at the time of inspection. The inspector will check 1t up, with the results of his inspection, and cor Feet and report any misstatement, made, by inadvertence or otherwise.
 In view of the difficulty in getting inspectors competent to do the work, tho boiler insurance companies have offered the government the services of their inspectors, who visit a large pro- portion of the steam power plants at regular intervals. Any additional in- pectors needed will be recruited on the volunteer system through local committees.

WESTERLY

Westerly shot a couple of thousand over the top Friday night in excess of the allotment of $25,000 and before the drive ends the total sum will have reached S35,000, and perhaps more, and it would not surprise one of the most active workers in the united war work campaign if the total sum reached S50,0G0. Following the example of the Bradford Dyeing association, Inc, in doubling the contribution of $2,500, other corporations as well as indi- viduals are doing likewise. One man who gave $400 at the start has made the gift $1,000, so some are more than doubling their earlier contributions.
 Thomas Mckenzie, in charge of so- licitation for the fund from corpora tions and their employees, made par tial report Saturday of the giving by employees as follows:
 Westerly Textile company 126 em- Iloyes, $547.75, average $4.S4.
