 Bad Shape

Frederick Shortel1e, 45 years old, of HOS East Main street, is in a se- rious condition at the Bridgeport hos pitaI today from injuries of a peculiar nature.

Two Tickets May Be Presented I'm Eleventh;
 DiscOrd At Caucus
Braithwaite Chosen As First Delegate B u t Voters Discount Vic tory As Stamped Bal lots Were Used.

With the Republican primaries only days away all factions of the party are hastening to name tickets in every district, and there seems to be no dinunition of hard feeling within the ranks in spite of the temporary truce declared by leaders last night at the meeting of the town committee, Ad- ministration caucuSeS were held in the First and Eleventh districts last night the latter bringing forth violent uproar with frequent charges of fraud.
 Former alderman Al Burdick and Frank Braithwaite were rivals for first delegate on the ticket Braith- waite won, but the victory is discount ed by many of the voters of the dis trict because it is charged that stamp ed ballots were used. Mir. Burdick had little to say on the subject this morning. He expressed the opinion that the method used iH voting was probably legal but that it was con- trary to established custom, as dele gates In a, caucus are always chosen from the floor. Many of his friends were disgusted with the way things were run and desire to send the de- feated candidates before the voters as a separate primary ticket. MT. Bur- dick said that he is taking no steps but that if his friends want him to run that he will do so.
 Hardly had the balIoting begun when there were cries from various parts of the hall that stamped ballots had been distributed before the nom nations. District Chairman Charles B1ackham was loud in protesting that the stamped ballots should be thrown out and asked the men and women to destroy those they had. Fresh bal lots were distributed William G. Redden, acting as chairman of the meeting, however declared that the stamped tickets were in order, that they would be counted if handed in, and that if the voter did not like them he could destroy them.
 This is an open caucus" shouted some one from the rear of the room, "and these ballots are out of order" District Chairman Blackham insisted that the stamped ballots be destroyed

Falls Three Stories To
 Her Death
Mrs. Christina, Seized
 With Attack of Dig ziness While Lean ing Over Porch Rail.

Seized with an attack of dig ziness while leaning over the rail of a third story porch at 39 Hallett street, Mrs. Rosina Christina, 78 years old, fell to the ground and was instantly killed at S:3O o'clock this morn ing. Acting Medical Examiner Dr. Edward Fitzgerald later pronounced death due to shock attendant to the fall.
 The aged woman whose home is said to be on North avenue, was visiting with a nephew at 39 HaIIett street early this morning. She was standing on the third story back porch when the dizziness seized her, caus- ing her to lose her balance and top pie to the ground several feet be- low.
 She was dead before relatives reached her. A large crowd of Italian nd neighbGr5 tS quickly ba gathered taken to the home of another rela- tive at S9 Goodwin street.
 When Dr.. B. J: Coyle and Driver Patrick J. Connen arrived at the Goodwin street house in the Elmer gency ambulance. they found it al- most impossible to gain an entrance because of the dense throng of for eigners who packed the doorway. Finally with the aid of a policeman, a passageway was opened and the Surgeon entered.
 The aged woman was dead, how ever, and far beyond human aid. Dr. Edward Fitzgerald. who is acting medical examiner in the absence of pr. S. NJ Gar1ick, examined the body and stated he believed death was caused by shock. Dr. Fitzgerald will examine the body again this after noon for a more thorough eXamina- ton.

Meeting Is
 Satisfactory
 To Robinson

J. Alex. H. Robinson was smiling today. In the absence of Town Re- publican Chairman John A. Leonard the secretary of the committee sat in the chair from which he has guided the affairs of the Republican party for 10 years and he seemed today to be quite satisfied with the gathering g of the party chieftans last night. In fact most of the Republican leaders seemed to be we'll satisfied with the meeting.
 To all outward appearances the meeting was only called for the dis cusston of the party. primary ma chinery, and factional politics was not on the calendar for discussion, but with all the leaders gathered in one room, the local situation could And as result of whatever talk there was. the members of the town committee appear to be optimistic c today. Not that they do not admit within the ranks, but the general feeling is that the differences are not so great but that harmony can be ob- tained before election time.
 According to Secretary Robinson courtesy was the keynote of the dis cussions about arrangements for the primary vote. As it is impossible to lengthen the voting hours of from the matter of clerks and assistants up to the chairman of each district An effort will be made to handle the usually large registration so that every voter will be able to cast a ballot for his choice in ease and comfort.
 Upon motion of Ralph T. Beers of the First district, it was unanimo ously voted that the secretary be instruct ed to write to MT. Leonard to ex- press the pleasure of the committee at hearing of his rapid improvement in health and to convey the hope that he will be able to return to Bridge port in the near future.

50 Engines
 Pump Water
 OnPariis Fire

Paris, Sept. 2s-The Printemps. the largest emporium in Paris took fire this morning and all the fire stations in Paris were called cut to fight the blaze. Traffic was disorgan- ized for a radius of four miles from the heart of the. city.
 The fire started in the furniture de- partment and spread rapidly. The roof collapsed and one floor fell in. The loss is estimated at several mil lion francs, but no lives were lost.
 Fifty fire engines were summon ed and for hours pumped at full speed while tons of water were hurled upon the conflaGration and surrounding buildings.
 The blaze sent up tremendous bi1- lows of thick black smoke which soon covered half of the city like gigantic pail. Persons miles away who did not know the extent of the conflagra- ton thought that a big section of the city was burning.
 Vast crowds gathered and the po- lice had a difficult time holding them back.
