experienced in leading the inmates
TO safety.
Scenes of terror were related by

after the alarm had sounded and saw
the patients at the barred windows
as the flames crept nearer and nearer.

DIFFER WITH JUSTICE
Hartford Referee and City Court Judge Disagree With Wheeler on Liquor Question.

Hartford, Sept. 20.--United States referee in bankruptcy Edward M Yeomans last night took a position alongside Judge Alexander w. Cree don of the Hartford police court in differing with Chief Justice George w. Wheeler that first offenders under the liquor law should be sent to jail. Judge Newell Jennings of the super Tor court. on the other hand, showed by imposing jail sentences on eigh- teen first offenders brought before him that he accepted the recommen- dation of the chief justice made at a conference of judges, prosecutors and justices of the peace in this city last Friday.
 "As a general proposition, l think Judge Creedo is right about it." said Referee Yeomans when asked for his views on the subject.
 Lawyers generally were reticent on the subject. and declined to be quoted on the subject but lay opinion was evidently with the Hartford police court judge that the character of the judgment in each case should be de- termined by the facts presented

ADMIRAL SIMS SPEAKS AT
 OPENING OF WESLEYAN U.
Takes Initiative" as Subject at the g2nd Annual Address at
 University

Middletown, Sept. 2o.--wesleyar University began its 92nd year today with the sInatriculation address by Rear Admiral W. s. Sims, (retired) before the student body iS memorial chapel. The subject was "The qualities of initiative, loyalty and character Admiral Sims said in part:
 Initiative is the keyword. It is the quality for which there is wide search today. Knowledge, experience and in formation are valuable but they are useless without initiative. Failure initiation means failure in the navy, in civil life and elsewhere.
 You must do it and you can do it only by constant self training. knowl- edge is of little use without brain trained to make prompt decisions in little matters. Prompt decisions in i;n- portant matters will follow. You must habitually practice initiative in little matters, for initiative and decision flow from the practice of logical thinking.
 There is also the important quality of loyalty. Loyalty is not personal matter. As you get out into the world you may find yourself working for a dsagreeable boss but you must remember your loyalty is not due to him but to the organization. There is also the character a quality without which all others count for little in the lives of men. Intellectual power and accumulated experience are equip ment and to use these applied with courageous initiative become great force.
 Our influence for good or evil de- pends upon the direction the force is given, according to the character of the man who applied it.'
 The freshman enrolment is 10S and the student body is little over 500. The Jackson Cup for scholarship was awarded to the Commons Club Fra ternity with Sigha Nu and Delta. Epsilon practically tied for the second time.
 Acting President Rowland, presid- ed and the service was conducted by Rev. Dr. Downcy of New York, a of the board of trustees.

WORkMEN HIT BY
 INCREASED FARES
Manufacturers Bureau Secretary
 Discusses NeWCommutaiion Rate

Al meeting of the New Britain
 Trafiie Club this noon at the New
 Britain club talk on the increase of
 the communication rates was given hy 1 A. l., Brown of the Manufacturers
 Association, He stated that the in- crease Of the semmntation books amounted to practically so per cent when il was taken Into consideration that the three month communication book would be eliminated, He also stated that the majority of people who come to work here are skilled work men and for this reason thought il directly concerned the manufacturers of the city.
 The chief speaker Of the meeting was Mir. Butler Of the transportation department of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, He said that the outlook for the winter was exceedingly optimistic and that the railroad equipment was in far better shape than it has been for long period of time, Ten new elec- iric locomotives are being added 10 the system and that with the new iHN 1fINlNt VIII Ut IN nfdfs ly 100 per cent as is possible. The recovery from the effect Of the strike Of the shopmen has been com plctc and the efficiency Of the rail- road is Of the highest possible order.
 Expects No Trouble From Coal
 He said tho coal movement, which was the cause of q tieup of the rail- road last winter. has been practically normal for this summer and that no trouble Is expected from that source. He said that unless some unlocked for obstacles should arise. the New Eng land shippers may look for very good winter.
 As to the loading of cars off the system, MT. Butler said that the rail- road had no serious objection if this loading was done in reasonable distance from the railroad lines, but that for every empty car the road was forced to carry the efficiency of the line was greatly lessened.
 A report on the Storrow report was given by w. l.. Bell who said that all there was to say on that matter was that the New Englanders were in fa- vor of a New England consolidation.
 Mir. Bell said that the objection to having the express car from Hartford | arrive in New Britain at an earlier hour was that such system would | make it impossible to receive the Bos- on and New York shipments, and as | was mostly the concern of the mer- chants he thought that their opinion ,n the matter should be sought.
