SOU1HING10N HOME BURNS
Mother Awakened by Wailing of Infant Discovers Danccr-All Hcrded Out With Blank cts Through Wall of Smoke.
Special to the IicraId)

Southington. Jan, 31-A family of 10, d mother and father and eight children, were driven from their home by fire this morning at 9 o'clock and the dwelling was dc- stroycd despite the efforts of the members of the Southington fire de- partment. The house was formerly known as the Bellevue Farm house on Berlin street and it is owned by Joseph s. Babiski. The damage is estimated 10 be SS,o00.
 The crying of an infant probably saved the other members of the family from injury and probable death. Mrs. Babiski was awakened shortly before o'clock by the baby. Thinking that the child was hungry, the mother went into the kitchen to prepare a bottle of milk for it.
 She smellcd smoke and. opening a door leading into an ell in the dwelling, was greeted by burst of flames. She slammed the door shut and hurried to arouse her husband and the seven other children. So quickly did the flames eat their way through the house, the parents and children were able 10 seize only blankets without dressing.
 Struggle Through smoke
 The father huddlCd the young sters around him to make sure that they were all together and started for the kitchen. Escape by the rear entrance was cut off and the family had to battle through the smoke to go out the front door.
 Ncighbors sent in an alarm 10 the Southington fire department and all though Hose Co. No. 1 and the Evansville company responded. the wind had famed the flames into q sccthing mass and the dwelling was doomed before streams of water could be played on 1t.
 Tho firemen battlCd for four hours to save other buildings in the vicinity and returned to their sta lions after o'clock this morning.

London, Jan. 3l LP-Changing its naval conference went into cXecu- tive session at D. III. today.
 As the delegates came together, reports were widespread that the British were having difficulty ill sat isfyng the dominions as 10 their representation on the conference committees. =.
 Not Officially Disclosed
 Whether this caused today's mcX- pected full session in place of the agenda committee session originally planned was not officially disclosed.
 Tie only explanation offered re- specting q two-hour session the prime minister and the dominion delegates held during the morning was that they discussed procedure.
 The calling of the full confer- enCc session surprised the other del cgations as many of the delegates did not attend. It was announced that Henry L. Stimson, the Ameri- eau secretary of state, would not attend because the subjects to be considered were the same as those referred yesterday to the new com- mittee.
 Hugh $. Gibson, American ambas- sador to Belgium, and Charles Francis Adams. the secretary of the navy, were present for the Ameri- can delegation. They are American members of the new committee.
 No Decision Announced
 It was pointed out that of the five powers, Great Britain alone had an- nounccd no decision as 10 who would represent her at the commit tee proceedings.
 Reports of diSaG aGrCCmcnt between Prime Minister Macdonald and the dominions have been printed re- pcatcdly in the English newspapers and once resulted in an official de- uial.
