There has been some agitation re-

YACHT CLUBHOUSE IS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Employes Save Medals, MGIcls and Paintings in Huge New
 Rochelle Blaze

New Rochelle, N. Y, July 12.-A
 fire which started shortly before noon yesterday destroyed the main building Of the New Rochelle Yacht club on Harrison Island. Many valuable med as, models and paintings belonging to members were saved by employcs. The building was valued at $50
 Hundreds of motorists lined the shore at Hudson Park about 800 yards from the island, and gave Chief of Police Frank Cody much difficulty in keeping the lines clear for firemen. On third alarm every piece of ap- paratus in the city was called to the park, and under direction of Fire Chief Walter Jones lines of hose were stretched across the water Several gallons of chemicals were thrown upon neighboring buildings by em- ployes at the club.
 The clubhouse was erected as a pri- vate dwelling in Hudson Park in 1886, and in 1895 it was removed to the island and rebuilt. In recent years it has been occupied by the club, of which Arthur H, Titus, Man haitian banker, is now commodore. The fire was discovered by guests in the main dining room. The cause has not been definitely ascertained.

Compensation Commissioner Leo J. Noonan of Hartford has awarded com pensation of s5S0.71 for total inca pacity to James Cormican of 123 Oak street Hartford, formerly, actorman- ager of a stock company at the Ly- ceum theater, this city, who sustained a compound fracture of the right leg below the knee while employed at the Hotel Bronson.
