The memory of months Of weary

Pressure from Factory Tanks
 to Help City Fight Fires in
 Business and Industrial Zone
Hook-Up System, Being Considered, Would Provide
 Needed Force for Fire Dept. in Central District

plates a linking of the high pres sure reservoir service with the water tanks in industrial plants, the force of the whole to be increased by use of pumps new maintained by factories as an auxiliary service in the event pressure from the mains drops below safe point.
 From the high pressure service a supply of 2.500,000 gallons can be relied on. Approximately 100000 gallons is stored In the tanks of in dustrial plants, making a total of about 3,500,000 gallons available in the proposed "hook-up." It is sug- gested that a pipe line be placed connecting the tanks and the high pressure reservoir. The pipe line would then be extended through Main street to the South church, giving protection along the business zone. When this service Is being drawn upon it will it be possible to run the factory pumps. By mechan- ical control the pumps maintain the pressure at whatever poundage Is desired and no engine is needed on the street.
 Representatives of the National Board of Fire Underwriters now in the city had the scheme explained to them today and they ventured an opinion that their board would make liberal allowance in credits when the plan is made operative.

MASONS SAY TEMPLE
 IS ONLY CLUBHOUSE
Building So Labeled, They Show Respondents
 
 Gain Point

A claim that the proposed temple Masonic orders desire to erect on Russell street will conform with the zone law because it is a clubhouse in fact and In name, will be ad- vanced by the Masons when trial of Hungerford ct als vs. Board of Ad- justment case reopens at Hartford next Tuesday.
 Pictures of the front elevation with the inscription Masonic Club over the main entrance have been taken to Hartford to be displayed before Judge Jennings. A private clubhouse is permitted in Zone B, of which Russell street is a part, but lodge rooms cannot be maintained The case is before Judge Jennings on the appellants claim that the board of adjustment exceeded its authority by granting a special ex- ception, the effect of which, they claim, is to change the zone.
 The residents scored point near the close of yesterdays hearing when Judge Jennings ruled that the words unnecessary hardship" In the zone law, meant unnecessary hard ship affecting not only the neigh 'bors. but also the seller and the prospective buyer. The law permits the grant of special exception to avoid unnecessary hardship"

A system to create powerful steady water pressure and make available flow of 12,000 gallons per minute to fight fires in manu- featuring plants and in the center of the city. at a cost of not more than s30,o00, is under consideration by the board of water commissioners.
 The system was suggested by J. c. Stafford, engineer for the Mutual Insurance Co. of Providence. R. l., and was perfected by the engineer and the local water board. Some changes on the installation suggested by Supt. James Towers of the water department have been incorporated in the idea and will become part of the system If it is placed.
 A water pressure of 90 pounds is desirable to send strong stream into buildings such as now stand in the business district. To keep the force of the stream at this point 1t is necessary that considerably great CT pressure be in reserve as each additional line of hose takes from the force. At noon today the pres sure reading at the office of the water board showed only 60 pounds with no hydrants open. This is a common condition, 1t is reported.
 As explained hy Acting Chairman Joseph F. Lamb of the water board, Engineer Stafford's scheme contem-

SECRECY JUSTIFIED IN
 AARONSON CASE.-HART
Police Chief Believes Pre- cautions on Trip Were
 Necessary

Boarding train at Springfield,
 Mass, yesterday afternoon, Detec-
 tives Williams and Collins of New port News, Va, having in custody
 Arthur Aaronson, bank swindler
 who was arrested In this city and
 fought extradition until advised by
 his attorneys to return to Virginia,
 went to Binghamton, N. Y, thence
 to Scranton. Pa. and through Phil
 adelphia to their destination. They
 were scheduled to reach Newp ort
 News his fc tenoon. Chief w. c. Hart said today he
 feels that the Newport News off, cers were perfectly justified in talk ing every precaution to prevent the
 possible detention of Aaronson by
 civil officers in New York city. The
 route taken is less direct than that which lies through the metropolis l but the officers felt reasonably cer- tain there would be no attempt made to interfere with Aaronson's return 1 II they went that way.
 Attorney Thomas F. McDonough.
 one of Aaronson's lawyers. resented the impression that an attempt
 might be made to take Aaronson
 out of police custody in New York.
 The secrecy surrounding the itiner- ary was uncalled for. he said. But
 for his disposition and that of At torney Sander of New York to ob- viate the necessity of the Virginia officers returning without their
 man, Aaronson would have been
 held at Hartford county jail until June, when his appeal to the su-
 preme court would have been heard,
 Attorney McDonough pointed out.
 He believes the secrecy and the
 roundabout course on the return trip entirely uncalled for.
 Chiet Hart this morning received
 a communication from Warden F. j..
 Smith of California State prison.
 San Quentin. Cal, in reply to a letter from the chief relative to Aaronson, in which 1t Is stated that Adl ollSOH "dS IeCelNeQ at the pTlS- on under the alias of Alfred Silver.
 on July 25. 1920. the sentence being
 2h years on the charge of fictitious checks. He was released on parole September 1. 1921, and on April 22.
 1922. his parole was revoked.
 The communication contains two photographs in which the resem- blance between the man known as Silver, and Aaronson. Is decidedly pronounced. In one photograph, the subject wears a straw hat and in the other his head Is uncovered, revealing the prison haircut. The convict number is on the breast of | the prison uniform. According to the prison records, Silver's occupa- ton was given as stenographer. Relative to Chief Hart's mention
 of warrant to he served on Aaron- son, Warden Smith states he has communicated with Edward H. Whyte. parole officer Of the state of California, who will be heard from very shortly.
