Washington, July 5-It is not often that Q man gets a chance to correct a major mistake or takes that chances when 1t is giv- on him. But visiting Haiti today President Roosevelt has gone out of his way to make a delicate acknowledgment of previous mistake.
 When he was assistant secre- tary of the navy in 1915, his marines occupied Haiti. In addi- ton to this they rewrote the Haitian constitution. It contained a provision permitting foreign CTS to own large tracts of land presumably opening the way for American exploitation.
 The new constitution aroused great antipathy in Haiti, ob- viously was going to be rejected.
 But again American marines, under the immediate command of General Smedley Butler, and presumably with the knowledgc of the navy department, locked the doors of the Haitian parlia- ment, lot no one out until the constitution was passed. SOMEONE TO BLAME
 Whether young Franklin Roosevelt was directly responsi- ble for this, no one definitely knew. Some blamed the state de- partment, some blamed the navy. '.
 However, in speech at Butte, Montana, while running for the vice-presidency in 1920, Roosevelt boasted of writing the Haitian constitution.
 Now an older and wiser man, he is taking tine marines out of Haiti. Is materially modifying American financial supervision, and today went out of his way to pay his respects to the Haitian people. ....
 CROSS PURPOSES
 A fundamental tenet of the New Deal Is cooperative effort. Some of the New Dealers, how ever, are frequently weak on team play.
 Take, for example, this epi- sode:
 When the Darrow board ac- cused the NRA of fostering monopoly in the cement industry by permitting use of the basing- point freight rate system and by price fixing, General Johnson let out a roar of violent denial.
 Yet, the very next day, Sec retary of War Dern hotly turned down bids on 100000 barrels of cement for the Fort Peck dam project in Montana, on the ground that the prices - all quoted from the same rail head were identical and too high. STOCK MARKET BOARD
 The so-called brain trust which wrote the stock market bill is jubilant over Roosevelt's appointment of the new stock market board.
 In. the first place, they got four firm believers in stock mar ket regulation on the board in- stead of three-which they had expected: In the second place, they are delighted with the ap- pointment of Josep P. Kennedy as the fifth man.
 Kennedy, close friend of the presidents, was saying good bye to him just before he sailed for the West Indies.
 ''Joe," said the president, "the boys up on Wall street arc going to expect you to he safe and conservative. But I'm expecting you to be the most radical mem- Der of the board.''
 There are three other reasons why Kennedy's appointment pleases the brain trust.
 1. He is fair and straight shooter.
 2. Knowing Wall street as he does. he should be real asset in probing beneath the surface. talking turkey to the money boys.

We've heard of Paul Revere being classed as almost everything, but we con- fess that it was new one when we read that the bell-making industry owes it's be- ginning to him. We've read of his skill at producing fine silver and pewter pieces. He even contrived set of false teeth for George Washington, didn't he or was that merely fiction? In his foundry 200 bells were cast, writer in the Boston Tran script recently claimed. One of them still booms at Dartmouth College. Rather a handy man, this Revere, not the ruffian one biographer tried to picture him.

Norwich, once styled the Rose of New England, is celebrating it's 250th anniver- sary. To drive through this picturesque old town one would think it almost twice the age of Waterbury, yet our 250th an- niversary was held some years back. Nor wich still preserves the charm of its colonial era, while industry has slowly wiped out all vestiges in our hustling metropolis. You may not like it, but you should recall it's your bread and butter.

on unofficial duty, aiding 200 po-
lice in holding back crowds which
swarmed it from four states to
watch the finish of one of the
most disastrous fires in the his
tory of the midwest.
Governor Henry A. Horner at
Springfield, in frequent commune
cation with Mayor f. j. Kelly, or
dered other troops to stand by in
case they were needed.
Several funds were started for
the refugees, scores of whom
were forced to sleep in nearby
parks or on bedding carried from
their flaming homes.
The fire insurance patrol and
several Independent organizations
worked to get an estimate of the
losses. The patrol announced the
100000 estimate was Gas
good as any," Some estimates
placed loss as high as $15,O00,-
600 and low as $7,000,000. Pa
troll officers said a definite esti-
mate would be impossible for sew
eral days.
Origin of the fire had not been
discovered.
One theory was that it started
when someone dropped a match
into a quarter-mile long haystack
lin the stockyards. Another was
that the blaze started when a
piece of burning material dropper
into the stock-pens while work
men were laying asphalt on a via
duct, t. e.. 49,,
The fire started at Ala p. m.
Saturday in the stock-pens. A 20
mile northeast wind whipped it at
amazing speed across yards and
buildings made tindcr-dry by the
long drought.
Within few minutes, the blaze
was out of control. \ great cloud
of black smoke went skyward,
was caught in the wind and car
ried over the Loop district, az
blocks to the north.
One fire alarm followed another
until three-fourths of the city's
equipment and firemen, including
reserves, were on the scene.
AS the fire swept through the
yards and historic buildings, resi-
dents along Halsted street, the
east limits of the yards, were
warned to fee.
Many did so Immediately.
Others fought to save their
homes. Bucket brigades were
formed in neighborhoods. Thou
sands of flying embers were ex-
tinguished, but the fight proved
futile and the fire swept across
Halsted to eat up SO buildings
outside the yards area.
Most of these buildings housed
stores on the first floors, families
on the second. Hundreds of per-
sons who did not report to hos
pitals suffered minor burns. So
thick was the air with embers that
in any block in the area one could
see dozens of persons beating out
flames starting in the clothes of
others. For five hours every man
was his neighbours keeper. All
