April 4.-Senator Charles Bakewel, speaking on the floor of the senate this morning against Senate Bill No. 4S3 which provides for an expenditure of S4o.0O0 for a State Normal school In Bridgeport, said that the present existing needs for state Normal schools are dormitory in Ne wBritain and another in Dan- bury. Senator Challenger debated for time relative to the merits of state Normal school in Bridgeport. Senator McGrath of Waterbury of- fered opposition to the dormitory question saying that young girls should not be put in dormitories He said that many parents of normal ites in Waterbury had come to him protesting against having their daugh- ters remain in New Britain over night
 Senator Bakewell said that there were some 150 girls in New Britain who have been forced to get rooms wherever they could and he defended the dormitory idea in general.
 The committee on education sub- mitted a report for the rejection of thenormal school in Bridgeport and their report was accepted and the bill was rejected.
 The $550,o0o appropriation for dormitory at New Britain has not yet been reported out of committee but Senator BakewelPs arguments on the floor of the senate seem to augur well for a favorable report
 The hearing on the claims of John McGuire of New Britain for s40,o00 dwamages against the state is sched- uled to come up before the claims committee tomorrow afternoon at 1880 o'clock.

Coroner's Inquest Con- tinues, With Architects and Engineers Being Called as Witnesses
Dying Victim However, Makes Statement That He Saw Crack in WI Just Before Fatal Collapse.

Hartford, April 4.---In an unofficial report, the R. c. Bent Co.,. genera contractors for ,he Fuller Brush Co tower, the fall of which Saturday noon proved fatal to ten men. has been freed from any blame for the collapse by Greenwood and Noerr, con. sulting engineers of this city. who in vestigated the accident for the Bent Co.,.
 The engineers report, il was said did not include any finding as to who is to blame for the collapse. It mere ly shows that the Bent Co. built the tower according to specifications fur nished them by the architects. The Greenwood and Noerr report was ver- bal only.
 Inquest Continues.
 Benedict F. Lyons. attorney for the Bent Co.,, declared today that repre- sentatives of the Bent Co. and Green- wood and Noerr expect to be called before the inquest being conducted by Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun and states attorney, Hugh M. Alcorn.
 This inquest resumed at 10:S9 to- day is still being kept strictly private. It was known, however, that Edward J. Vaughn, civil engineer connected with the firm of Buck and Sheldon, architects who designed the Fuller tower was called as a witness at this mornings session.
 Saw Crack in Wall.
 An ante-mortem statement of John H. Miller, unexpectedly produced at the coroner's inquest disclosed that large crack in the west wall of the tower was discovered by Miller few minutes before the fatal crash which cost ten lives.
 Miller. who died yesterday after noon at St. Francis hospital, made this statement to 3 representative of the II. c. Bent company while in a dying condition at the hospital. He said the crack, which was almost large enough 10 be called a hole. was under the large window. which would make 1t approximately on level with the bases of the supports of the water tank which plunged through four floors, tearing down two sides of the tower.
 Evidence Guarded.
 Miller's statement was closely guarded, but 1t became evident to- ward the close of the afternoon that an important revelation had been made. States Attorney Alcorn and Coroner Calhoun maintained their silence, but were unable to conceal the nature of the development.
 It is believed that Miller, alarmed by his discovery. had hurried down stairs to summon James r. Bent, vice president of the contracting com pany and that both were making their way to the point where the crack was seen, when the tower col lapsed. burying both of them and eight others in the mass of iron and steel.

CARNARVON IS SINKING

Cairo, Egyp, April 4.--The Earl of Carnarvon's doctors virtually aban- doned hope of his recovery last night and the family gathered around the bedside anticipating the worst but the ness.
 Today his temperature was 101 and he was maintaining the slight i'm provement noted last evening. He was still very weak but less distressed than he had been.
 Lord Carnarvon's physicians regard the fight for life which the discoverer of Tutenkhamun's tomb is making as most remarkable. Everything, they say. depends upon his ability to main- tain his strength for the next day or two.
