S BOYS ENROLL Bixty-Seven Students Volunteer to ‘Work on Municipal Farm and First Squad Begins Labors Tomorrow. Principal L. P. Slade of the High school notified Mayor G. A. Quigley this afternoon that already sixty- seven boys have volunteered for work on 'the municipal farm this summer and tomorrow morning, the . first squad will “begin ‘its labors as agriculturalists. Chairman H. 8. Tallard of the farm committee and Professor Slate, an expert from Storrs college, went carefully over the farm today and found fully ten acres ready for immediate planting. They have estimated that it will require the ser- vices of about twenty boys tomorrow. to begin the work of cutting seed potatoes for the automatic planting machine. As the work progresses and the need of more ‘ workers grows other squads will Je called upon, as will the adult volunteer workers. Charles F. Smith, president of Landers, Frry & Clark, this afternoon presented the municipal farm com- mittee with a gross of knives to be used in cutting the seed potatoes. All boys who are called upon to work on the farm tomorrow will re- port at the mayor's office in city hall at 8 o'clock in working clothes and will be taken to the farm in Stanley Quarter in an automobile truck to be loaned by a local factory. Each boy will be expected to bring his luncheon with ‘'him so that he will not have to return to the city at noon./ The committee is endeavoring to make arrangements with various factories and individuls owning auto trucks to mecure the use of trucks on various days to take workers to the farm. But little time will be consumed in this work as. the truck will leave city hall at:8 a. m. and it should not take more than a half hour to go out and back. AUTO STRIKES GIRL. An automobile driven by Frederick ‘Warnke of 2 Columbia street, Hart- ford, ran down little Gertrude Oden- waldt, aged six years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Odenwaldt of 139 Church street, vesterday after- noon on Elm street, and as result the girl was removed to the New Britain General hospital for treatment. Dr. Fromen is attending her, and she is reported as much improved today. According to My Warnke, the girl ran in the path -of the machine and the accldent was unavoidable. HIT BY AUTOMOBILE, i Felix Olga of 62 Woodland street was taken to the hospital this after- noon in the police ambulance suffer- ing from an injured leg, received when he was run down by an automobile at the corner of East Main and Stanley streets. It has been reported to the police that the driver of the car, which belonged to Kellogg and Buck-, ley of Hastford, did mot Stop stter the ¥ kA% A ) (Continued from First Page) aid would possibly be needed should the fire reach any greater proportions. Vice President Charles B. Parsons, Superintendent Joseph Fletcher, As- sistant Superintendent Hausmann and Clarence Seelye, urrived ‘at the fire shortly after 12 o'clock and rendered valuable assistance. C. Harry Barton, one of the early arrivals at the fire, was of much assistance in saving the patterns, He located Chief Dame and requested that especial attention be devoted to the pattern building. John Bergman, an employe of the company, acquainted with conditions, at the risk of his life, entered one of the buildings and saved the inventory records, time cards and other impor- tant data. The watchman of thae plant could give no information that might lead to the origin of the fire. Officer Litke, patrolling Stanley and adjacent streets, sent in his duty ring at the corner of Franklin and Stanley stréet at 11:25 o’'clock and every- thing was in good order then. Hardly had he reached Elm street, a short distance away, when the sky was il- luminated with a bright glare and, on rushing to the scene, he found the building a mass of flame. Policemen standing on Maln street heard what resembled explosions and this gives rise to fears that the de- struction of the bulldings fs due t6 in- cendiarism. resident of Elm stréet stated today that the noise was more like pistol shots, although the police have been unable to run this down as yet. Captain Michael Sowney and Firemen Fred Smith. of Engine com} pany No. 6 heard the same nolses and gave as their: opinion that they | were explosions. Throughout the progress of the fire, slight rumbles were heard at various times, but these are attributed to gas explosions. No Estimate of Loss, -Officials of the concern were at work early today, trying to determine the exact loss entalled in the fire. Super- intendent Fletcher this afternoon de- clined to place any specific amount of the loss. The main concern of the of- ficials early today was in having the loss repaired so as not to hamper the production of the plant. . There is a heavy stock on hand, but this would not last very long if any delay should ensue in the erection of a foundry. It is the intention of the company to start work at.once,. and temporary arrangements have been .completed or handling the most important work n the meantime. Asked by a reporter whether any credence is placed in the explosion theory, Superintendent Fletcher stated that the officlals were not ready at this time to make definite statements, and should the fire be the work of an incendiary, every means would be taken to secure his identity and have him’” brought to justice. Commendable work was contributed by citizens during the blaze in render- ing aid, and a volunteer force headed by Arthur F. Connor did noteworthy service. A. E. Magnell, who is men- tioned a member of the new fire com: mission, was on hand and he was very active, as were William Brady and C. P. Merwin.’ ¥ Since the recent firebug scare, the Corbin officlals have been cautious about thejr property and have sta- tioned tchmen about all their plants. Four of these men were em- ployed about the burned structures, and the lands adjacent were all well lighted. A number of photographers were on hand early today picturing the ruins, among these Fred Ensworth, who secured some very good motion picture fllms. One of the workmen employed at the factory was about the city today mourning the loss of more than $200 which he hid among the bricks at the factory. A watchman, on discovering the blaze, rushed to the fire alarm box located in the factory yard and after 4hserting his key_he was unable. to operate the machanism to get the alarm to strike. City PBlectrician af- terward examined the box and found it in working, order. > The value 4t the new service pump in the department was evinced last evening, the firefighters being assisted with a powerful stream when the pump was set in operation.
