Bridgeport, Conn.,. July 19- (UP)-One woman was burned. a garage and three automobiles des- troyed, and scores of persons rout- ed from their beds by a spectac- ular three-alarm fire in a thickly congested block surrounding Lau- rel street early today.
 The fire, originated in a Laurel and caused damage to two resi- dences. The small garage was to- tally destroyed. Twenty-Five of the automobiles in the larger garage were saved before the flames did serious damage to the building owned by John Lund.
 Mrs. Helen Scoop, owner of the small garage was burned about the neck and sustained a possible fracture of the right ankle, while attempting to prevent the spread of the fire. As the flames from the garage licked close to her home, she used garden hose to keep the walls from burning. She was taken to St. Vincents hospital where her condition was reported as not seri- ous. The residence of Daniel John son. Iranistan avenue. was slightly damaged.
 The three alarms brought prac- tically every piece of apparatus west of the Pequonnock River to the scene. William Belden sus- tained a cut on the right hand when forced to break a window in an automobile in order to re- lease the brakes and roll 1t to safe

PRESIDENT. HAS
 USED INFLUENCE
His Hand Can Be Seen in the Efforts to End
 Trouble

Washington, July 19.-(UP)- President Roosevelt was seen today as yielding a powerful if indirect influence toward speedy and peace full settlement of the San Francisco strike.
 The hand of the president was observed in the strengthening of federal mediation forces on the Pacific coast by the addition of Gen Hugh S. Johnson and Senator Robert F. Wagner.
 While the executive repelled all suggestions that he enter the sit- uation in person, belief arose that he had not been inactive behind the scenes. Radio messages crackl. ed continuously between the cruiser U. s. S. Houston and Washington.
 It was noted here that while Johnson arrived in San Francisco denying all suggestions that he would take part in peace negotia- tions within a few hours he was in the center of activity and today emerged as the leader of the, con- ciliation group.
 MT Roosevelt messaged Secre- tary' of Labor Frances Perkins ex- pressing my confidence that com mon sense and good order will pre- vail on all sides of this controv- ersy" and that the special labor board would arrive lat a reason. able solution"

BISHOP MAKES
 MANY CHANGES IN THE DIOCESE
Rev Edward J. Brennan of St Margaret's Goes
 to New London

Appointment of two assistant chancellors and assignment of ten pastors by Most Rev Maurice F. McAuliff, Bishop of Hartford, was announced officially today by the Catholic Transcript and presages, 1t is believed, series of further and more sweeping changes in which Waterbury churches will be involved.

 Rev Edward J. Brennan is trans ferred from the pastorate of St Margaret's church here, which he founded "A years ago, to St Mary's, New London. Rev William O'Shea leaves St MichaePs church in Wa terville to succeed Father Bren- nan at St Margaret's. Rev John J. Hayes, former assistant pastor at the Church of the Immaculate l Conception here. is elevated to the status of assistant chancellor in to- days appointments. Start of Changes The changes given out today, which have been long awaited all over the diocese, are believed on good authority to mark only the beginning of one of the largest numbers of appointments and pro- motions in the history of the dio- cese. Churches in this city, which it is expected. will be affected in the near future by changes in clude the Church of the Immacu- late Conception, Church of Sts Peter and Paul, St Thomas's church and several others, both in and near the city.

 Smith, it was understood, in his characteristic outspoken manner, discussed charter revision with the Tiger chieftain. As a result of his frank remarks, Dooling will meet Gov Herbert Lehman next week regarding the constitutional amendment affecting county off cers in the greater city.
 Smith, as chairman of the char ter revision committee, has been an advocate of consolidation of the county offices, measure bitterly opposed by the .Tammany old guard because of the immense patronage inherent in the unwieldy. unccon- omical. overlapping borough gov ernment.
 Further Smith suggested that Tammany take the revolutionary step of endorsing Joseph D. Mc- Goldrick, fusion comptroller for reelection. Comptrollership is one of the most important posts in the city administration and with it Tammany could recoup some of tho losses of 1893. Wiser faction of the hall is inclined to agree wilh Smith that another defeat at the polls might be fatal to its prestige,
