25 Years Ago To-day

A TOW between the railroad and | Connecticut Co. over the Main 1 street crossing developed today. The l trollcys have bumped over the cros3- | ing with violence of jounces in di- rect ratio 10 the speed of the cars, due to the fact that the trolley rails were lower, few days ago they were raised. Today a railroad gang tried to lower them again and 70 men, led by Foreman George Scarrctt, drove them out and held the fort. Chief Rawlings suggested the matter be arbitratcd.

FITTING IT ON THE MAP

Ever since the story appeared in the Herald regarding the eXpiora- tion tour of Judge William J. Ma lone. and Damos J, Mum, both 'f Bristol. and Rev. John D. Mccarthy o. S. j.. of New York, for the Hud- son Bay country and the wilds Of Labrador. VIC have been spending more or jess valuable time in an endeavor 10 locate the premises on s,ndry maps in sundry tonnes of ref erence. But all 10 no avail.
 Considering. however, that the grand falls Of the Grand River in inc irterior of Labrador has been seen s only four white men, it is
New Britain herald., 1925-06-25

clear that the map makers have not been justified into going into details about it. The Bristol explorers, during the ninth trip Of Judge Ma lone into the Hudson Bay country. with good luck ought to bring back more definite information about the great falls which is said to be twice as high as that of Niagara.
 While MacMilIan is attempting to wing airplanes into the Arctic fastnesses, the party of Bristol men and the New York priest will be well on their way toward their ob- jectives, which are declared 10 be the Nascopo. Beaver and Susan rivers-none of which are upon tho available maps, except perhaps those giving the most detailed topography.
 With Rev. Father Mccarthy a member of the party it should have little difficulty in gaining such in- formation as natives may be able to give, as the priest speaks the h. dian languages common among na- lives of that section. It was regret table that Dtt..,,on Wallace could not secure his release from Culver Mill tary academy in Indiana to be a member of the expedition, which has definitely practical object in view as well as satisfying spirit of adventure.
 ] It will have been noted that the expeditions jumping off place" will be the Northwest river post of the Hudson Bay Co.,, thus paying tribute to the remarkable corpora ton which has followed northern explorations since the early days ol
 the continent. It is perhaps tht
 oldest trading corporation on earth
 and maintains trading posts in th'
 uttermost northern parts of tho
 continent, at least as far as ciyiliza
 tion reaches. Scarcely a story O
 the northland has even been writer
 without a Hudson Bay trading pos
 figuring in it; and most certainly 1 would be well nigh impossible fo the Bristol explorers and the NeV York priest to adventure in tn northern country without being Il contact part of the time with on . of these romantic oases'

4 MOVE TO PROTECT LIVES AND PROPERTY

The movement to have the build ing commission indemnify property owners against defective workman ship and breach of contract in the case of electric installations empha- sizes the need for an alright sur veillance of this important function Of civic administration, Improper electric installations create a fire hazard and mcnaces life; nothing that the city can do to avoid taking such chances will meet with disap- proval of citizens.
 The new clause in the building code, which will require electrical contractors 10 post bonds with the city. is a movement in the right di- rection. Such bonds will not only protect the pubic but will also pro- tcct the electrical contracting bus mess in the long run by stimulating the exercise of exceeding care and thus reducing the chance for diffi- cultics over jobs later.
 Property owners in a sense are entirely at the mercy of electrical contractors. X 1ayman cannot de- terminc whether an electrical in staIlation has been done properly or whether it is defective. The city ompJovs an electrical inspector having done so for a period of only t sbout eight ycars-and this is good safeguard so far as it goes. Bu it frcoucntly happens that electrica Installations may appear done prop erIy at the lime of inspection an' show faults later; and as there l a great deal oS electrical work tt inspect there arc possibly oppor tunities to make mutual mistake that are not upon the sEface.
 The new clause in the electrica code is not q slap at the presen system of inspection, which ha been entirely satisfactory but is the nature of an additional safe guard in a line of city funclionin where there cannot be too man safeguards.

TWO KILLED WHEN BUILDING CRASHES
Boston Opens Investigation Into Fatal Collapse

Boston, June 25 Pl-The collapse of partly demolished East Boston tenement building late yesterday, which caused the death of two chil- dren, injuries that may prove fatal to a woman and another child, and more or less serious injury to doz- en others, was being investigated to- day by the police and Building Com missioner John H. Mahoney.
 The entire building suddenly buckled into a mass Of splintered timber. soon after workmen en- gagged in tearing 1t down to make way for ne wcity health unit had left for the day. More than 2 score iof children were in the building or nearby, salvaging bits of wood and fixtures.
 The police of the East Boston sta tfon. augmented by reserves, all available fire department ladder companies in the district and vol unteers extricated the dead and in- iured within half an hour. Extra doctors and nurses were rushed 10 the East Boston relief hospital 10 help the regular staff to care for the victims.
 Thousands of persons, headed by frantic mothers and fathers of the section bent on locating their chill dren, swarmed about the wrecked building, ran after flying ambu- lances and milled about the hos pital until far into the night. Flea nor Bruno, 5, and John Ferrino, 13, both of East Boston, were the vic tins.
 The first rescuers to arrive To- cated several of the victims by arms, legs and heads sticking from the wreckage. Most of those caught in the collapse were swept into the basement, however, and were locat- cd by their cries. Search for addi- tional victims continued after dark under fire department Bearchlights.
 The removal Of part of brick retaining wall and tampering with timbers used to shore up the walls on the part of children was advanced as one reason for the collapse after a preliminary investigation last night.

ENGLAND WILLING
 FOR LIMITATION
But Thinks U. s. Should Call
 New Conference

London, Juno 25 Rs--Foreign Secretary Chambcrlain's declaration that Great Britain would join with the other great powers In further limiting naval armaments or reduc- ing land forces, and his intlmation that the initiative for the naval con- terence should come from the United States, were regarded today az the features of his statement iE the house of commons last night during the debate on the security pact.
 The initiative in calling any in- ternational gathering to consider re- duction of land armaments, he said. might properly come from either the United States or Great Britain, both of whom had already reduced their land forces "to a scale no larger than police for the interests which We have to guard"
 As regards a naval conference, the invitation might better come from the United States, as that power had been responsible for summoning the Washington confer erce which resulted in the first in- ternational agreement for limitation of armaments the world had ever seen.
 The foreign secretary asked for parliamentary support of the pro- posed security pact 10 guarantee the frontiers between Germany, France and Belgium on the ground that 1t would dispel fear and be great step toward peace and disarmament.
 Fear dominates the whole posi- ton of the world and the attitude of every country" he said. Every where. among the conquerors no less than the conquered, there is the psychology of the vanquished. The British government is trying to find a way out of this impasse."
 No uni-lateral pact of guarantee among the allies against Germany could be contemplated. he added declaring: "The new pact must be mutual among those powers whose past differences provoked war, td maintain peace in the future and tc avoid recourse to war"
 The newspaper commentators thi' morning take the view that the commons debate on security has re- moved certain doubts and fear' which previously troubled the pub lib mind regarding the European peace problem.
 The Times remarks that the de- bate was in accordance with tho best traditions of the house, rising above mere party controversy.
 While the nti-government press insists that some obsCurities stil remain and that the question of tho British obligations must be watched closely, no disposition is manifested in this quarter to harrass the gov ernment in its delicate task of seek ing an ultimate agreement.
 On inc whole, in view of this re ception Of the debate, the securit. proposal seems to haVo received favorable push in the direction O parliamentary adoption.

light" was Of a sort 10 make even tho blase reader accustomed 10 reading about bank and other rob- berries, pcrk a startled eyebrow,
 But it was not ouly robbery of the kind taking place In New York during recent times. The same kind Of robhertcs, with scarcely any de- tails differing, have taken place re- pealedly, Diamond shops in New York seem to be favorite haunts of the robbing fraternity One or two of such robberies 1t may be men toned in passing. were said to have been fakcd.
 With several hundred thousand dollars worth of diamonds in the store, all who were on guard were q clerk and a Negro porter And neither had q lirearm handy or course. thousands Of people were passing along the street in front of the place, but there wasn't po- !iccman in sight.
 With such things continually hap pcuing in our large cities, 1t is small wonder that southern mountaineers and western cowmen opine they are afraid to visit the big centcrs not wishing to take the risks of getting { held up.
