NORTH END BLOCK Department Has Hard Battle at Two-Alarm Blaze Fire of unexplained origin, times, threatening propor- tions, brought out all apparatus on second alarm and caused 7 damage that may exceed $3,000, par- tially gutted the three-story Tuke Meehan block at 28-30 Lafayette street early last night and gave the firemen one of the most stubborn aad disagreeable fights that they have had this winter. With the mercury hover- ing near the zero mark, difficulty in that, at assumed locating the shut-off cock of the gas main that was pouring its deadly fumes into the building and dense clouds of suffocating smoke, the men under Chief Robert M. Dame and As- | sistant Chief William J. Noble worked ' at a disadvantage and received much | credit for preventing the spread of | the fames to adjolning buildings. It has fire started in a pile of wood in about the center of the cellar but from what is a mystery and is the basis of in- vestigation today. As far as the au- thorities can learn, there was noth ing in the way of stoves, lamps or the like in- the cellar to ignite the wood. The building is not heated by furnace but by individual stoves in the vari- ous stores and apartments. Supernumerary Policeman Thomas Feeney discovered dense clouds of smoke coming from the Corbin Screw Division of the American Hardware (Yorporation and rang in the alarm from box 42, Main and Bast Main streets. Arrival of the first apparatus found the cellar Chief Dame to order a second from the same alarm box as a precaution- ry measure. Five water lines from engines 1, 2, 3 and 4 were used with motor pump of Engine Co. No. 5, held in reserve. For a time, following a_ hard fight to confine the flames to the cellar, it vas feared that they had gained too sreat a handicap and Chauffeur Ed- ward J.

At about/| 11:20 word was telephoned to police headquarters that there was smoke coming from the cellar and a detail | from fire headquarters was sent to the { scene. No serious trouble was found. Sick Woman Removed. Aside from the damage to the building, the most serious loss is to Louis Faletti, steamship agent and proprietor of a combination market, grocery and macaroni factory at Lafayette street, and Joseph Melny proprietor of a clothing store at 30 Aside from the loss of goods stored in the cellar, it is ! believed that their loss will be heavy from smoke and water. age was suffered by apartments on the second and third floors. Policemian Patrick Meehan, who lives in the next block, was on the scene early and took charge of removing a woman from the.second story to the street and into a nearby house. She had recently returned from the hospital after being operat- ed upon and was unable to leave her bed. Her removal was as a precau- tionary measure as it was feared that the flames would sweep through the entire building. A double wall between the two Meehan blocks materially aided the firemen in preventing the spread of flames to the east and saved the block nearest to Main street from being sub- ater damage. Sev- eral times when it was thought that the flames were under control, they would burst through the flooring and again receive the attention. of water lines, Smoke dam- tenants of the Water froze almost as soon as it fell i and the moet and buildings were soon | thickly oated with narrow efl(‘upes from ice.

It is believed that this material was largely sponsible for the great headw the flames and the dense suffocating smoke. Much caution was used by Chiefs Dame and Noble in sending men into the building as the odor of gas was soon discovered and it was reported that it was escaping from the main supply pipe into the building. For a time it was thought necessary to shut off the street supply main as men from the New Britain Gas Light com- pany had difficulty in locating the sidewalk shut-off because of the heavy coating of ice. It w One Mydrant Frozen. The intense cold caused flremen, members of the police detail and spec- tators to suffer acutely.

For a time Chief of Police William J. Rawlings was in personal charge. After 7 o’clack members of the night detail re- lieved day men and supernumeraries. Sergeant William C. Hart was in charge of the lines after 7 o’clock. | The explosion of an oil stove is be- lieved to have been responsible for a fire last night in a bed at 149 Chest- nut street. An alarm was from box 24 at 11:05 with Engine Companies 1, 2, and 3 and Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 responding. Chemicals were sufficient to check the flames. The building is owned by the New Britain Machine company. There was little' damage excepting to the bed. Boys, matches and bales of paper are considered responsible for a. temporarily threatening fire in the rear of the 25-cent stare on Main street about 5 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. Engine Company No, 1 and Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 re- sponded to a still alarm. Chemicals | were used. After the flames were ex- tinguished chief Dame ardered the pile of waste papers and rubbish re- moved. It was reported that boys were responsible for the paper bales being opened and ignited.

Fiske, U. S. N. re- tired, declared in an address at the Pan-American aeronautical expedi- tion last night. Tt is a scheme where- by it is claimed that the regular Whitehead auto-torpedo may be launched from an airship as effec- tively as from a destroyer. The “torpedo plane” under favor- able conditions, said Admiral Fiske, would make a $20,000 airplane a worthy match for a $20,000,000 battle cruiser. He added that he had re- ceived information from TEurope, which had been verified from a whol- ly definite source, that about a year ago a British naval officer made four flights over the land into the sea of Marmora in an airship, under which a Whitehead torpedo was used and sank four enemy vessels. Peary Forecasts Air Attack. ‘Warning that the Atlantic coast, and particularly New York city, is in dan- ger of an enemy attack from the air within thirty days was uttered by Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, chair- man of the Aerial Coast Patrol Com- mission. “This country had a surprise when the Deutschland raised its conning tower out of our waters,” said he. “It had a shock when the U-53 sank sev- eral ships off Nantucket. “Within thirty days we may have a thousandfold greater shock from the air, with ourselves as victims instead of spectators. Thousands of tons of high explosives dropped on this city or Boston or Charleston or Washington is certainly a possibility. Such "an air raid,” sald he, “is no more impossible than the feats of the Deutschland or the U-53. Today the man who believes nothing is impos- sible until it happens is a fool. If he holds a responsible position he may a little later be regarded as a crim- inal as well.” MRS. DURANT DEAD. Was Widow of Founder of Wellesley College. ‘Wellesley, Feb. 3.—Mrs. Pauline A. Durant, widow of Henry F. Durant, founder of Wellesley college died yes- terday. She was born 85 years ago in Alexandria, N. H.
