PUTNAM MAY HAVE
 RED-MEN'S BLOCK
Wappaquasset Tribe Planning To Build S35, ,ooo Wigwam
 Of Two Stories
Will Give Thi. City One of Best Ball
 Rooms In New England

Wappaquasse. Tribe of Red Men is planning to build wigwam of its own. The venture calls for an eX- peuditufe of from 5,o0o to S30.ee0. While the plars afe stiIl ir aa em- Brvo state, ttsge ae A Red Mea ia this city and they are all eathuslas- ucallv behind the new home project.
 Tbe 6rst important step to formu late plans faE tla important under eaking. was meetH in taF wI~wam last Sun Iay. Fifty braves were pres ent and after tae meeting was called to order by sacfeU Cotton, George Farley chairman a8 .h= aew publicity committee. wes ai.ei upon to pre- side.
 The plan as outlined calls for two story building of cement blocks The street floor will contain g fine dance hall. no feet long by SO feet wide The long narrow shape will allow of the building being supported by iron girders, thus doing away with posts. The building will be absolutely fire proof.
 There will be a beautiful entrance to the building, and the floor will be the finest in the city II will be avail able for holding dances and balls by all organizations. societies or individ- uals. The upper floor will be nsed by the Red Men for d lodge room. There will be louuging rooms, club rooms, card rooms. a bowling alley, baths, and other features.
 The financing plan has not been de- termined upon, but the feasibility of selling the cement blocks in the build ing. the organization of a building corporation, and the selling of stock and other ways and means of raising building fund were discussed. It was determined that at least con- troI of the building will not be in any one individuals hands.
 Among other things discussed was an old fashioned outing such as Put nam used to have years ago, with a sail to Watch Hill or some other shore resort where a clam dinner may be had. If that is carried through t IS hoped to make the occasion city hoi- iday.
 At the meeting Mir. Farley was ap- pointed chairman of ways and means committee and when seen Thursday morning he was most enthusiastic over the project of the tribe. Already an option has been secured on one site near the center of the city, But before taking any final action further investigation will be made. But If all are as enthusiastic over the plan as is the chairman of the committee the new building is assured.

Regardless of the warning that drums of benzol might explode. hun dreds of people crowded m close prox- imity 70 the Sanborn Chemical Works on School street. Thursday evening, and watched the fremen fight a stub born blaz. The basement of the building was somewhat damaged. but as the fire fighters kept the blaze from getting into the floor above where there was large vat of eombustible liquid. the damage was not great
 The alarm was rung in from box 8 near the plant of the Wheaton Bull l. ing < Lumber Co.,, at 7.50. When the department arrived they were con fronted by a most dangerous situation According to the lire chief. benzol, flowing from a feed pipe. was on fire. making a torch of flame upon which water had little effect IL is said that there was a number of drums of this liquid which if sufficiently heated was apt to explode. This was kept wet down and no harm resulted People were warned of the risk but neverthe- less many crowded about the building reckless of the danger in their anxiety to watch the fires progress.
 The benzol flowing from the pipe came from a vat. l. gradually sub sided as the steam pressure which caused is flow Iessened as the fire in the boiler cooled after the fire had been drawn.
 Several times the interior of the basement took fire but as often as this occurred streams of water put out the blaze. The origin of Che fire is un- known. It might haze been eaused by the chemicals CT by a spark from the boiler.

CARPENTERS REFUSE TOACCEPT WAGE CUT
Contractors Offer Minimum Of 75 Cents An Hour, a Red

Men Quit Jobs.-Demand Old Scale
 and Work Is Tied Up

Putnam carpenters are on strike
 in Some time ago the men went eat when their demand for Sl an hour
 s refused Thes finally accepted ompfomise of s712 cents an hour a#. went back to worl..
 Eow the Putnam contractors have gwen notice ef reduction in wages ta the form ef minimum schedule of 71 cents per hour and tNe men re- fused to accept the cut About seven ty-fve men are affected.
 Ehe contractors are said to have taken a firm stand and notwithstaHl- iue that building pros poets were look ing brighter, are determined not l0 give iu They point out that the cut i- along che eenayal lines of readiust- meut and is necessary f work is Co be- procured and building given the desired impetus.
 While the minimum is fixed as 15 cents per hour, one of the contractors stated that a sort of sliding scale was contemplated and some of the more skilled workmen would be paid more. as was done when the minimum was s7 ia cents.
 The same contractor was asked if there was any movement in the ranks of the masons and brick layers. He said that there was rumor that these men were contemplating voluntary reduction and may come forward with an offer to work for a dollar day less.
 The contractors believe that many people who desire to build are holding of until the labor expense is less. At the present time the only work being done, according to the contractor in- terviewed, is small repair jobs which some of the carpenters have taken on their own responsibility. But the contractors are to hold together and to stand firm, according to this con- tractor.

tools were taken out The building was burned to the ground, nothing be- ing left standing except the chimney
 The bungalow is on the E. =. Fos- ter estate. and James Page. who lives farther up the hill, is caretaker. Dr. Sheppard married Miss Nellie Foster. daughter of the lat Dir and Mrs. E N Foster, and some years ago the doctor built the bungalow for sum- mer home and the family has come to Putnam every year.
 While the bungalow has not been occupied by it's lawful owner since last summer, 1t is thought that tramps, becoming familiar with the situation. occasionally frequented the place. It is thought that either some of these periodical habitues threw a match in the wood pile adjoining the bungalow or that the fire was of ineendiary or igin.
 The reflection of the fire in the sky was visible for miles around and hun dreds of automobiles soon congrepat- ed at the scene. Among the first to arrive were L. A. Bradford of Dan ielson and Charles Thompson of Day vile Except for q woman who lives nearby, these two were first at the fire and succeeded in saving some of the personal property.
 Dr. Sheppard was notified of the fire and came to Putnam Saturday evening. He said that the doors and windows were all boarded and se- curely nailed up so that entrance would have been hard to gain Wheth- er he will rebuild again was not stat ed

THE PONY CONTEST

The Patriot, together with nine other business firms of the city of Putnam, who entered into the contest for the awarding of A Shetland Pony and cart to the child obtaining the most votes in the recent contest held through out the city, regrets the delay that has been caused to parents and children in making the final award of the prize. A misunder- standing ;n the original contract with the Algey Shetland Pony Farm, which was the originator of the contest, has been the cause of the delay in the final settle ment. A cheek covering the final eost of the pony has been for warded to the Pony Company and the numberless votes east in the contest are now being count e1 It is hoped to have the con- test ended and the pony awarded within the next fortnight. This statement is made in reply to the Pony Company's advertise ment published on Wednesday in the WindhAm County Observer. There has never been any diff eul.y among those who entered the contest and no doub2 ss 10 the final award of the pony ss the Observer's advertisement might lead the interested public to believe.

 The building, known as the ear in sneetors' shanty. was badly burned inside and charred without The con tents were destroyed The only nov able thing inside the building that withstood the fire was he stove. which, it Is believed, caused the blaze
 About 9 o'clock a still fire alarm came in. The chief was told that a house near the Grove Street cemetery was ablaze. When the department arrived there it was found that the scene of the fire was half way up the hill towards Putnam Heights.
