Yesterday several complaintN were registered regarding the building of fires in the rear of business blocks, and each case was investigated by one of the Fire Commissioners. Two of the complaints were without cause as the fires were confined in wire baskets made for that purpose, but the one in the rear of the Greek res taurant on Bridgeport avenue was ordered to be put out, which was inn mediately done. This fire was about 10 feet from a wooden structure and sparks were flying toward this build ing when the commissioner arrived. Fires of this nature are a menace 70 the residents and should be reported to the chief of the department of fire service in the town or one of the com missioners who will see that the fires are taken care of and the builders of same given proper warning.

LISTENS TO REQUESTS FOR CALLING SPECIAL SESSION
 LN SPHZNX-LLKE SILENCE
Refuses to Make Any Decision-Keeps Eyes
 on Floor.
BELIEVE HE'LL
 REFUSE ACTION
Special to The Times.)

Hartford, Sept. 24-With his eyes riveted for the mosr of the time on the floor and the turns of his head always in the direction of the steno- grapher, his only vocal expressions i ''ahcm'' as speakers paused in their arguments for breath, Governor Hol- comb yesterday held what has been likened to a judicial hearing on the application of prominent c. o. r. members for a special session Of the legislature to act on the national sui frage amendment. The governor never spoke during the entire session.
 Those who presented the petition to the Governor were satisfied and dis satisfied when the session was over. They were satisfied that their skirts were clear and that judgment could not be upon them for the failure of the Connecticut legislature to act and further satisfied that HoIcoub would not call a special session in response to their appeal They were dissatis- lied at the near discourteousness with which they were received, for while the governor is known to be of a re- tiring disposition. it is said here today that he did not even show the remot- est sign of pleasantness during the session.
 The arguments were made to the governor by the packers of the suf- frage movement in two relays and conspicuous by the absence from the sessions were J. Henry Roraback. Charles Hopkins Clark and Robert O. Eaton, up state politicians said to have the inside track on the states chief executive. Roraba and Eaton were in evidence, but not at the hearing.
 Numerous briefs were filed and ar guments were made, but the governor never fixed his eyes on a speaker and never asked a question When the speakers paused in their remarks. the governor sometimes "ahemed" or nodded his head for the speaker to go on.
 When the hearing had ended and the last speaker returned to his seat there was two minutes sllenca Turning to the stenographer the gov- eruor said:
 ''Ls there anybody else here to be heard 2'' There was another pause and without further adieu. the speak CTS one by one arose and filed out of the room.

Eight or nine men were badly beat en and were taken 10 an emergency hospital after Indiana Harbor police stopped the fighting.
