 In order to get at the blaze which was travelling at lightning speed through the walls, the fire men were forced to tear out the walls in tho dining room, one of the falls in the library on the first floor and tho walls in tho two bedrooms on the second floor. The fire here was cXtingushed, but then it was found to be still going in the ceiling between the first and second floors. This was ripped out and the blaze squelched when Deputy Chief Eugene r, Barnes discovered that tho blaze had worked it's way into the attic. Hand chemicals were used 10 extinguish the blaze there.
 In speaking of the fire, Chief Noble expressed great admiration for the department Of several women who were in the house during the eXcitment. In all his experience. he stated. he has never seen women act so coolly and collcctcdly during the stress of eXcitment. He praised especially the work of Miss Corinne Bacon and a guest in clearing passages 10 doors for the fifemen, for taking her invalided mother from the house and for her level headedncss throughout the exciting moments of the fire.

RANGE BLOWS UP,
 CHILD IS BURNED
High Explosive Thought to Have
 Been in Coal

The three months old son of MT md Mrs. r. J. Tuite Of Park and Stanley streets is at the New Britain General hospital suffering from severe burns about the legs and slight burns about the face and neck received when an explosion occurred in the kitchen range at the home at o'clock yesterday morning. No solution as to tho cause Of the eX- plosion has been found and ques- ton has also arisen az to whether the child's burns were caused by hot coals flying from Inc stove or from the overturning of q coffee pot
 Dr. David P. Waskowitz. who is attending the child, said that the hot coals set fire to his clothes but the firemcn think that the burns were caused by hot coffee, The front ot the stove did not face the table where MT. and Mrs. Tuite and the child were sitting and the absence Of burned woodwork indicated that the coals were not thrown any great distance. Deputy Chief Eugene r.. . Barnes stated that he believes the coffee pot was overturned in the eX- citement.
 The firemen have also the theory that some high explosive was con- tained in the coal. They do not be- lieve that common gas caused by the burning of coal would explode with sufficient force 10 wreck the stove. There 1t no hot water attachment on the stove. The force of the blast threw the stove lid clear to the ceil- inC with such force that the imprint of it is imbedded plainly in the plaster. Engine Co. No. 5 was call cd but there was no fire.
 The child was reported today at the hospital to be resting comforta- bly as as can be expected though the burns on its body are serious.

bhnlhSCN,
 New York, March % (Rt-Fire to- day burned the roof from the tower of a Brooklyn building which more than 50 years ago figured promin- cntly in the Charlie Ross dnappng cas" which has never yet been solved.
 Fire started from defective wiring in the tower of the Crescent Ath- letic club on tho shore road over looking the water. This building was formerly the home of Judge Van Brunt and was the scene of the fatal shooting of Bill Mosher and Joe Douglas, kidnappers of Charlie Ross young son of Christian K. Ross, wealthy Philadelphia merchant iu 1874.
 The kidnappers had been sought in vain for months when they at- tempted 10 rob the Van Brunt home and were caught red-handcd by the judges brother and son who shot them down. Recognizing Douglas as one of the kidnappers as ho lay dy- ing at their feet the Van Brunts de- manded what he had done with the Ross boy. With his last breath he told them 10 Ask Mosher" but when they went to the other robber he had already died from his wounds.

Connie Lewis for years an authority

that the recent morality wave is
uncalled for. The habtues of the
famous resort are said to have been
more puritanical this year than ever.
For the last five years Lewis has

have been less arduous than in the
last several years.
Lewis estimated that he has eject
ed an average of only three bathers
day from the beaches here, where
as in former years he has elected
as many as 10 and II. He ascribed
as one of the reasons for the small

ARM0Ry BAN
FOR MITCHELL

DULUTH, Mimi, March 4. - Col
William Mitchell, separate air force
advocate, will not be allowed to use
the local armory where he was sup
posed to speak March 10, because
local military authorities don't want
it to appear that they support his
claims as against the war depart
ment
If he cannot appear in the armory
his engagement to speak may be
cancelled because no other building
in the city is large enough to care
for the crowd that would likely at
tend the event.
That the real reason for refusal
of the use of the armory was be
cause "it would convey the impres
sion that local military authorities
were behind him instead of the wal
department" was disclosed by Local
military authorities today
I'VE don't want to appear that we
are behind him in his crusade" a
military authority said when we
rented the armory we didn't know
that he was to speak in it, and that's
why we have refused the use 81
the building"
