Guilford, Jan. 4.—Fire destroyed a barn belonging to Angelo Benzi, on the Boston road half a mile east of the Center, early today. The heat caused ac able on a pole nearby to part, cutting off wire communication | to_points east of here. As the cable weént down the operator on the tele- Phone switch board found a number of lines in trouble. This led to an in- quiry as to the cause and about the same time neighbors who had; seen the fire began to send in an alarm. The Benzi family, however, slept until the barn had been half - de- stroyed and seven horses lost. The grigin of the fire is not determined. YALE RESUMES SESSIONS.

Wayne, Ind. \WATERBURY HOTEL DESTROYED BY FIRE One Man Loses Life and Probably Ten Others Injured Waterbury, Jan. 4.—Tt seemed probable to both police and fire au- thorities this afternoon that only Charles M. Decker of South Nor- walk lost his life in the fire which destroyed the Connecticut Hotel carly in the morning. The list of injured will probably not exceed tem, although only six are hospital patients. The ruins within the four high walls of the hotel are to be searched when finally the fire which is underneath is extinguished. Streams of water were played on these ruins throughout the | forenoon and their effectiveness was | hampered by the ice coating which formed on the timbers and rubbish heaps which had cooled off. | Decker was found unconscious from smoke in one of the hotel hallw;l_\'sI by Hoseman Quinn, of Company No. 4 | and was carried outside. He died from asphyxiation while being taken 10 the hospital in an ambulance. Hospital Patients. The police list of hospital patients follows: Charles L. Hanks, Gardner, Mass., traveling salesman, both legs broken; John C. Calaway, Bantam, Conn., ribs broken and internal hurts, the ex- tent of which is not yet determined; Frank McCauley, Columbus, Ohio, travelling salesman, sprained knees from sliding down a water pipe from the fourth floor; C. Darling, Stonybrook, L. I, suffering from smoke; Joseph P. McEvoy, Waterbury, injury to back, thought to be serious and X-ray is to be taken to determine if the vertebrae is dislocated; Hose- ‘man James Quinn, suffering from smok A number of guests and hotel employes received bruises and lacera- tions during their efforts to get out of the hotel or in assisting others but none is suffering severely. Hotel Register Missing. Just how many guests were in the hotel when the fire broke out is not vet determined. The hotel register has not been found but when search is made it may be uncovered. It was thought that eighty persons were in the hotel last night. This number in- cluded members of a theatrical com- pany, all of whom escaped without in- jury although each lost his or her effects. Fred Hass manager of the hotel, and the police believe that in spite of the rapid development of the fire all who were on the upper floors escaped in one way or another. Citizens who were on the street in the carly stages of the fire and saw the flames sweep upward with a rush were of the opinion that if any guests were in their rooms at the time they could not. have- escaped. Four Story Structure, The hotel was of four stories in height, with brick walls and substan- tial construction. It is located in a congested district with the building of the Reid and Hughes Dry Goods company and the plant of the Repub- lican’ just in the rear. After a hard fight, made so by the breeze, the flames were confined within the hotel. Prominent Odd Fellow. South Norwalk, Jan. 4.—Charles M. C. CONSCIOUS PLAN T0 Point at Issue 1; New Haven Case, Claims Rockefeller’s Counsel New York, Jan. 4—The summing up of the testimony in behalf of the of the eleven former directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, with Richard V. Lindabury personal counsel for Wil'ium Rocke- feller, addressing the jvry. The point at issue, he said, was not property and that, but whether they had a conscious plan tc monopolize commerce, whether they criginally had a broad plan which thcy censpired to carry out, and whether -he monopoly was unlawful and an un:casonable re- straint of trade injurinus to the pub- lic. Every Monopoly Not Unlawful, “Every monopoly is not unlawful.” he said. “Mr. Osbor: of ment counsel, conceded that day. Every railroad is in fact a monopoly. It depends uncn whether the monopoly is unlawful-—whether it is unreasonable.” Mr. I set forth the reasons why he thought vesters MONOPOLIZE TRADE defense was begun today at the trial | that the defendants had acauired this ! govern- | ¢ bury tnen | . ENUFF RAIN % ; - Im LOTTA SUN WE MAKE THEM JUST NATURALLY GOOD” WATCH IN THIS NEWSPAPER the growth of the New Hsven was a reasonable one and the result attained a necessity for the development of the business interest of Niw England. “Never,” he said, “nas there been in the history of this country a develop- ment more natural an. more normal than has gone on dur: the last twen- ty-five years in New IEngland and which has led to the y nt situa- tion. Every economic re:son favored it, if it did not compel it” The at- torney dwelt on the beneciits of the re- sult of the unification . the New England railroads, “which i state commissions and people have ap- | proved.” “New England would otherwise have withered and shrivelied up,” he declared. < Reviews Acquisitions. Mr. Lindabury then reviewed the various acquisitions of t"'e New Haven and sought to show the jury that eac of them ‘“was induced bv special cir- cumstances, which arcse in imme- diate connection with it and that ! these circumstatnces th: mselves prove that the acquisition w riot made as the part of any preconce'ved plan.” The taking over of the Old Colony in 1893, he said, was due to the fact that its control was being sought by A. A. McLeod, “who already had ob- tained control of more trackage in New England than the New Haven owned.” Self Protection. “This,” he said, “would have cut off the New Haven's head. They took it in self-protection.” The acquisition of the New and New England, also a York MecLeod road, was the result of one of the rai road fights common in those days, said the lawyer. Railroads Regulated Now. “It so happened,” he said, ‘that the strongest brains were on the side of ; Morgan and Rockefeller. If they had been on the side of McLeod—if he had been brainier and stronger—the result might have been different. It was one of the railroad fights that we older men remember were common i those days. Those fights are not per- more. Railroads are regu- “NIGHTINGALE OF TRENCHES” TITLE WON RY NURSE Sister Martron, the nurse who has received more royal decorations than any other woman in Eurcpe for Red Cross work, has been in every war since the Transvaal, spending days and nights within the firing lines.
