Troop 23 Boy
 Scout Council
Held Meeting Last Night at
 Beth Fl Synagogue

Scout Executive Arthur D. Mars- ton In his address last evening to members of troop 23. local council of Boy Scouts. at Beth El syna- gogue, expressed sincere hope that q Girl Scout troop and Q cub pack would be organized in the near future at tho synagogue. AS yet no plans nre underway for or ganIzatiOn, but tho statement met with the unanimous approval of the large crowd who attended the scout program last evening.
 Robert Stevenson addressed the gathering and stated that scout work was pointed to as m essential matter In turning out men who in the future will bo able to cope with the nations problems. Rabbi Harry E. Schwartz of Beth tl synagogue and Benjamin Robb also spoke on scouting work.
 Itabbi Schwartz vlvidly outlined the purposes of scouting and enu- merated "Compn nionship. courtesy to strangers, obedience to parents and character" as the fundamont- als taught the scouts. He said 1t was fitting that Beth El should hold n scout service in connection with their religious service for all these qualities are emphasized by the Jewish religion. The better the scout, the better the man and the better the man. tho better the Jew, was Rabbi Schwarz' concluding remarks. He extended a cordial invitation to Scout Executive Mars ton to attend the religious services at the synagogue this morning which were readily accepted by the local scout head.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS QUESTION SETTLED
Putsic Friars and Beau Brummel Clubs Argued
 Subject Last Night
NEGATIVE SIDE WON

The first debate of the 1892 sea- Son at the central Y was sponsored last evening in the west lobby be- fore a capacity audience between the Putsic Friars and Beau Brum- mel clubs on the question, Re solved: That the United States Should Enter the League of Ma tons" After most interesting discussion the judges unanimously declared the negative side, upheld by the latter club. the winner. Jos- eph Kushlis and Joseph Carroll constituted the winning team while Alfred Light and Robert kiersted made up the losers.
 The Beau Brummels argued that the league ran counter to United states Ideals and had failed to ac- ccmplish that for which 1t iins bnen organized and that 1t was in- effective in the view of the Sino- Japanese situation. They also em- pfasised the fact that the United States could cooperate in a better manner fin world peace outside the league than they could as q mem Der. The winners also contended the size of the armies of league mem bers indicates that they have no faith in efforts to bring about peace.
 Charles J. Allen, general man ager of the Connecticut Light and Power company, acted as presid- ing chairman while the Judges were Attorney Vincent A. Miller. William r. Walton and Rev Rob crt C. Batchelder.

erty, near the tracks. He sustained q fractured spine near tho neck and his body became paralyZcd from that point down. Other com plications, together with pneumo- nia set in and caused his death a month later.
 It was the claim of the widow, as represented by Attorney Vincent A. Miller, that the deceased was on his way to the company's barn. where the horses were kept, to feed some Ash he had purchased at q store, to cats, also kept In the barn. It was also the claimant E contention. that the deceased was also employed to care for the horses when not working. That is, feed and water them. The claimant claimed the injury which caused his death was sustained while in the course of his employment. Commissioner Williams points out that he is unable to determine from the evidence that the injury arose out of his employment, on the grounds that 1t took place on n day when he had occasion to go twice to the barn to take care of tho horses. He states there was no evidence to show there were cats kept in the barn to keep 1t clear of rats.
 Tho evidence also fails to sub stantuate tho claimants claim that her husband bought fish at the store, tho dicislon states.

The Small Fleet
 of Ford Cars
Will Be Traded in Near Flu. ture for New
 Machines

The small fleet of Fords in ser vice at the local police motor pa trol will be traded in very shortly for new machines. About 12 cars will figure in the transaction. The city. iikc individuals, has found 1t more profitable to buy new cars every year and reap the advant- age by the swap in. It saves considerable repair work and ex- pensc.
 Were 1t not for tho fact that the city is short of change at tho present time the board of police commissioners would recommend the purchase Of additional cars. Tho success of the motor patrol has been 50 pleasing to tho police that there is hopes of extending rather than curtailing thIs parti- cular branch of service.
 Tho various cars in the motor patrol service average 50 miles q day. A record is kept of tho daily mileage and amount of gas and oil used. It is up to the various driv- CTS to keep their machines in good condition. The repairs are handled by members of the bureau of auto repairs of the fire department.

Two alarms were registered for the fire. Tho first call was q bell alarm from Box 32 at 2:53 o'clock. At s:10 o'clock Chief Henry H.. Heitman sent in special call sunmoning two additional com panies. Bremen were on the scene until 7:42 o'clock this morn- ing.
 The smoke was intense and suf- locating and added to this were fumes from a refrigeratins plant in q meat market located lin the building. Members of Engine Company No suffered mostly from smoke and fumes. several of tho boys being ''knocked out" for q few minutes. None of the fires fighters suffered seriously from their experiences. The building owned by Judge T. v. Meyer was the scene of a bad fire about two years ago almost under the same circumstances.
 It was rather difficult to-day to estimate the damages or tho loss suffered by the owners of the stores. They were closed for business this morning to permit insurance adJuBtors to give the places affected a close scrutiny.
 Fire officials stated to-day that while there was no direct evidence as to the cause 1t was apparent to them that 1t started near the fur mace. A desperate attempt was made by Chief Heitman and his men to restrict the fire to the eel lar and to some extent they were

PLEDGES FILED | FOR GOOD DRIVING
Several Thousand State- ment Received By State
 Motor Vehicle Dept
STILL COMING IN

Several thousand pledges for good driving during 1882 have been made to the Department of Motor Vehicles by owners and operators of commercial motor vehicles of Connecticut in response 10 the departments plea for cooperation to eliminate accidents during the year. About 200 formal pledges are being received every day and it is expected that eventually the majority of the drivers of com mercial vehicles will be enrolled.
 The pledge form was sent to drivers attached to q pocket manu- al of Rules and Driving Prac- tices" distributed by the depart ment containing rules and rcgu- lations which the state expects drivers to observe. Ninety thou sand of these booklets have beon distributed. The demand for the manual is evidently universal among the owners and operator within the state and knowledge of it has spread to many other states and Canadian provinces from which requests for tho booklets have bene received.
 In addition to returning the signed pledges many operators have sent In favorable comments about the program and suggestions which they believe would improve operation upon the highways if fol- lowed. One operator says in a letter to Commissioner Robbins E. Stoeckel, "I want to tell you that if every driver lived up to the nr- ticles in the book of Rules and Driving Practices' our roads would be much safer for motorists"
 Department inspectors are now making observations of driving performance on highways by all drivers of commercial vehicles. All reports of violations or in- fractions. of driving rules are sent to the owners and operators. Thus far the response to these reports Every owner has stated that he about and that his company and operators will avoid the offense in the future.
 This observation work is also being carried on by the state po- ncc WnoSe TepoTts uTc tuTHcd over tot the owners by the motor vehicle department.
 No distinction is made in the departments program between Connecticut operators and those of other states using Connecticut highways.
 If out of state drivers arc stopped for any reason. they are handed one of the manuals and asked to study it and observe the instructions in 1t while oper- atlng in this state. Complaints and reports of violations are sent to out-of-state owners in the same way ns they are sent to Connecticut owners.

successful. The flames however, managed to break / through tho flooring in the dry goods store of Alter Rosenneld, the grocery store of Peter D'Ambrosio and the meat
 market of c. Strikulis Two other stores in the building suffered from smoke and water.
 There are several offices on the second floor of the building. one being occupied by Attorney Albert J. Bronsky, clerk of the city court. NOtwjthstanding the early hour of the fire hundreds of residents of the Brooklyn district fiocked to the scene and kept the police busy keeping eager volunteers from crashing the stores and attempt ing to "salvage' the merchandise. It was not q spectacular blaze. but one which operated behind q smoke screen. It furnished all the work the firemen desired for their daily dozen. When gas and ammonia fumes became noticeable and sev- eral of the firemen were nearly overcome orders were issued for the men to don their gas masks be- fore venturinK into the cellar.
 The various families driven out of their homes found refuge with friends and returned to the build ing after the fremen had checked Iand doubIe-checkcd on tho course of the flames. The fact that cover ings were hurriedly thrown over some of tho counters in the differ ent stores aided materially in keep ing down the loss or damage to the merchandise and equipment.
