Investigation Of Blaze Starts

Chief Daniel B. Johnson and other fire department officials today started an investigation of the blaze which broke out about 10 o'clock last night in the New York Trunk store, East Main and Cedar streets, but have not reached any conclusion as yet as to the origin of the fire. It was found that the flames started under a trap door at the top of the cellar stairs and then worked down into the eel lar. Damages, which was suffered mostly by the building itself, was esti- mated at approximately S1,2oo to- day
 When the fircmen arrived at the store last night, they found dense clouds of choking smoke pouring from the basement windows. While fighting the flames, Bremen Thomas Burns, George S. Shea, LeRoy Opden- brow and John Willis were overcome Shea was treated at the Emergency hospital, and the others were attend ed by Dr. J. H. F'innegan, fire com missioner who was a spectator at the fire.
 Bremen experienced great difficult ty in getting at the base of the fire, because of the fact that the basement was divided into small partitions by pine boards. Several attempts were made to enter the cellar, but each time the firemen were driven back by the heavy smoke. The blaze was finally fought from the outside, wa ter being poured in through the eel lar windows.
 service on the Barnum avenue and East Main street lines was suspended The stock of the trunk concern was not damaged by flames or water.

Five Liquor Men Should
 Get Refund

Ex-cafe owners whose places of business were closed when the Eight eenth Amendment first became effec- tive on July 1, 1919, are planning le- gal action to force the Fairfield County Commissioners to refund their license fees. There are about five of the liquor men who are entitled to the refund, and to each is due the original sum of $350.
 The county commissioners have not been sure of their ground, and have really been in the dark as to the pro- per steps to take. The Board of Apportionment appropriated S66,000 as the city's share of the expense of making the refunds at their annual meeting in April, 1920. The States s share has not been furnished, and it is said that this is the reason for the delay in making the endorsements The liquor men have been unable to accurately determine their exact sta tus in regards to the refunds@ It IS a we'll known and established fact that the money is fairly due them. and will be paid in time, but when that time will arrive no one seems to be able to answer.
 It is planned by the handful of men who complied with the law and closed their saloons and cafes imme- diately when the new liquor laws went into effect, to put their cases in the hands of an attorney. It IS also their intention to charge the county interest on the refunds for the time that they were overdue.

Will Add To Beardslev
 Park Links

Hundreds of Bridgeport golf en- thusiasts who have made Beardsley park their Mecca for daily pilgrim ages this summer, will be interested to know that an extensive enlarge ment of the course has been planned for next spring. The present nine hole course is one of the most popu- lar hereabouts, and when the pro- posed improvements are completed this vicinity.
 The Bridgeport Hydraulic com pany, which owns considerable terri tory across the stream that runs along the west side of BeardSley park, has loaned a portion of it's land to the city, and this will be used in extending the course. Three short holes which form a part of the pres ent course will be converted into one long hole, and two new holes will be added across the stream.
 Through this enlargement, the course will still remain at nine holes, but an additional 1000 yards will be added, and new thrill will be provided in the nature of a drive across the riv r. At the present time the Beardsley park links measure about 1.500 yards, and this will be increased to 2,500 by the development of the new tract. The lately acquired ground has al- ready been plowed up and seeded, and grass will be cut next spring.
 The increasing popularity of the Beardsley park links is seen in the fact that an average of 125 persons play every day, and 225 visit the course on Saturdays and Sundays. The largest crowds are generally on hand late in the afternoon or early in the evening after working hours.

Republicans Admit Congress Cannot Tighten
 Burden Of Taxation

Washington, July 21.-Taxation is worrying Republican leaders of Con gress today more than at any time since the outset of the present ad- ministration.
 problem they are struggling with is, not how to reduce the gross amount of taxation under which the American people are staggering, but how to pre- vent it from being materially in creased.
 The plain, unvarnished truth of the tax situation is admitted to be that matter how successful Congress is in changing the form of taxation, there is little or no prospect of it being able to tighten the taxes the great mass of people are compelled to pay.

 Property
 HeaUiZy
Name of William Chew Appears on Mortgage Deeds Filed by Charles Martin.

The name of William Chew, pron1i- nent Bridgeporter, is connected with two mortgage deeds, aggregating S3S, 900, filed in the New Haven town clerks office by Judge Charles J. Mar tin of New Haven, one of the men in- terested in the development of Pleas ure Beach. Mir. Chew is the father 1n-law of Judge Martin, who is we'll known and popular in Bridgeport, and is said to have been financially interested in several real estate de- velopments in New Haven jointly with Judge Martin.
 It is reported that the mortgages were secured to meet the demand of the Mechanics Bank of New Haven on certain notes held by them. The mortgages are on five parcels of land in New Haven, and are for $12,e5o and<for S25,0OO.
 Judge Banks is one of the packers of the Pleasure Beach amusement project, for which a temporary receiv- CT was recently named.
