WHO STARTED THE
 BRANCH ST FIRE
Authorities Gettirg liO In. formation That Would
 Lead to Guilty OneS
WAS HEAVILY INSURED

Notwithstanding the lack of sue. cess in the triple investigation con. ducted here yesterday and to-day by fire and police officials the probe into the incendiary fire at 69-71 Branch street last Thusday morning has not been concluded. The police hays questioned the owner, SebastianU Raimonte, but he has offered an alibi to the effect that he was in New York city when the fire broke out. The family of Carmelo Garr1 on the second floor was in Bristol at the time. The tenement on tho first floor, where the fire originated. was not occupied.
 It developed to-day that Raimonte carried $12,OOO insurance on the house and $1,500 on his furniture and wearing apparel. Garro is also heavily insured as far as the fur nishings are concerned.
 When the fire broke out follow ing an explosion firemen discovered that the floors of the house and considerable clothing had been sat urated with oil and gasoline. Holes had been drilled in the floors. The fire started at 3:15 o'clock in the morning and had it not been for the explosion and the failure of the party responsible to open a window the residence would have been de- stroyed.
 Lieutenant Joseph Stevens of the local detective bureau and Sergeant Gene Lenzi and State Trooper Leo Murphy of the state police arson squad are assisting Fire Marshal Frank w. Holland in the investiga- tion. After being advised by his counsel yesterday Raimonte answer ed number of questions. It was hinted to-day that the state fire com mission may take hand in the case to clear up a number of question able features. The actual fire dam age was insignificant, but the att tempt was a very deliberate one.

Dislike Siren On
 Baldwin St. Busses
Prominent Citizen Claims He May Take Appeal to the
 Board of Health

A prominent citizen on Washing ton Hill had the following to say to-day regarding the new sirens which the Connecticut Co has in- stalled on their busses:
 Please Go Way and Let Me Sleep''-Yes we wanted a change in the Washington Hill section and wished to get away from the troll leys. We wanted an improvement on transportation in that section and to certain extent we got it. We did not however, call for that new siren that appeared for the first time on the busses yesterday. If you have not heard it by all means get out on the street and listen for it the next time you see a buss ap- preaching. The siren has sound that would wake the dead. The op- orators of the cars must have been trying them out all, day yesterday for they were going all day and late into the night. I could not get to sleep at my regular hour but was obliged to lay awake until the busses had stopped running. Yes, that new siren is just what term a pub lie nuisance and am going to see if I can get accustomed to it for a few days. If not I guess I'll have to call the board of health and en- ter complaint
 The above is sample of com ments heard on the new siren, the sound of which is said to be such that people have a notion it will be

DOES YOUR HEART
 EVER PALPITATE?

In many cases, palpitation is caused by the pressure of a gas-dis- tended stomach upon the heart, the gas being generated by the action of excess acid on the food in the stomach. This acidity interrupts di- gestion, causes food to ferment and attacks the delicate stomach lining, paving the way for gastritis and even dangerous stomach ulcers. One safe way to stop the trouble and avoid possible serious consequences is to neutralize this excess acid. To do this quickly, safely and surely, take a little "Bisurated' Magnesia after meals or whenever pain is felt. "Btsurated" Magnesia instantly stops the painful fermentation, dispels the gas and relieves dangerous pressure on the heart. You feel better right away, and in a few minutes you feel fine.

Local Branch
 Prepares Way At
 Meeting Last Night
Cards and Buttons Will Be Ready Within Week When Drive Gets Under Way-Iiartford Officers Robin- Son and Hewes Address Session-Plan Support of CitrOn Bill

An enthusiastic meeting of the Waterbury branch of the Crusaders fas held last evening at 6:30 o'clock at the Waterbury Country Club. Representative John D. Thoms, chairman, presided at the gather ing. Thomas P. Kelly acted as sec retary.
 Plans for launching 8 member ship drive in Waterbury and vicinity were discussed at the meeting. It IS expected that cards and buttons will be ready by the first of next week and the campaign started immediate ly. Life membership in the Crusad- CTS is attained by payment of the nominal sum of $1.
 Lucius F. Robinson. Jr. and Philip Hewes of Hartford, officers of the Crusaders in that city, were present as guests of the local branch last evening and gave a good descrip- tion of the scope of their activities to date. MT Robinson recalled the recent unsuccessful attempt of the Crusaders to secure passage of a bill repeating the state enforcement act.
 The hearing before the judiciary committee was the most exciting of the legislative session. A large del- egation of drys was present for the hearing and so filled the room that members of the committee were barely able to get inside. MT Rob- inson was one of the few wet speak CTS who were allowed entrance al the hearing. The bill was reported unfavorably and also defeated although along purely party lines the democrats voting for and the republicans against.
 Just at present the Hartford and Bridgeport Crusaders, the most ac- tive of the Connecticut branches, are calling attention to the Citron meas ure which proposes a state referen- dunn in connection with the state and national elections of 1892. The referendum refers three questions tc the voters. The first deals with re.

peal of the state enforcement act, the other two with repeal of the 18th amendment by means of Constitu- tional convention, such as not been held in almost 15O years, or by state conventions called for that ex- press purpose.
 The Hartford and Bridgeport Crusaders have gone on record as favoring passage of the Citron bill. While the local Crusaders, at least the executive committee, took no action on the bill, they are expected to do so in the near future. This is necessary. inasmuch as the bill will be assigned for a hearing before the legislative commission on federal re- lations shortly.
 The next meeting of the Crusaders will be held at 12 o'clock, noon Monday. March 23, at the Waterbury Club. Membership cards will be dis tributed and buttons if they are ready by that date.
 Those present at last nights meet. ing were Representative John D Thoms. Thomas F. Kelly, Richard w. lGoss, Merritt Heminway, Attor. ney Edward Traurig. Rodney Chase
