The decision followed a general meeting of the Hartford Building association, repre- senting fourteen allied trades, but the decision on the wage issue was left to the individual assoclations. The master associations sought to com- promise the issue hy delaying action until existing contracts were com- pleted, but this the local building trades alliance refused to do.

Lime Rork,‘ Conn,, Aug. 1. — Two fires hera about last midnight are ex- pected to receive attentlon of the au- thorities in an effort to determine their origin. The Hupzi villa, belong- ing to former Senator Charles W, Bar- num of this town, now of New Haven, was destroyed, About the same time the barn of Carl Lorch near the Lime Rock station and a long distance from ‘wrate Livsayiace was found to be was soon in ashes. * ‘Was Unoccupied "ne Bar 1 place was a house of v rooms Without furnishings and it had stood untenanted for about five years. It is thought the fire started in the kitchen. It was valued probably at upwards of $30,000, and on it there was insur- ance of $24,000, it is understood. The Lorch barn was filled with hay, about 100 tons as an estimate, and thig fire may bave been due to spon. taneous combustifon from hay that had not been fully cured in the field. It was valued at about $10,000. Fire Dept. Kept Busy | Fire apparatus was called for the Barnum place fire from Lakeville and Canaan but the house was then be- yond saving. After word came of the fire at the Lorch place, the apparatus went there but the fi#fcs had com- pletely enveloped it and nothing could ba done except to give protection to nearby property, The Barnum house which was burned was about half a mile from the W, H. Barnum place recently given to Yale university by Miss Laura C. Barnum and William M. Barnum, '77, for use of members of the faculty as a summer home. The house burned was locally known as the Old Homestead, while that which was given to Yale is referred to as the W. H.

PRECEDENT QUOTED BY ENGLAND Liquor Controversy Rt s o iepns | Would Tend to Admit Booze Under Seal on Foreign Ships—Attention of | Government Tummed to Circular Seeking Funds. By The Associated Press. London, Aug. 1.—FEngland has dis- | covered what is sald to be a precedent established by America which it is said here supports the contention that | British ships should be permitted to enter United States ports with uqum-i under seal, . In the House of Commons today Sir Willlam Davison asked Ronald| McNeill, ,Under-Secretary of Foreign | Affairs whether in connection with the | refusal of the United States to allow liquor to remain under seal in British | ships in American ports, the atten- tion of that government had been called to a despatch forwarded by the American government some years ago to th& Spanish Government, which while admitting the legal right of every natfon to prescribe the condi- tions under which foreign vessels should be admitted to their ports, | laid it down that these conditions must_not conflict with established usages. Sir Willlam sald this despatch is| quoted in international Jaw and the under-secretary replied that is cer- tainly seemed to afford a precedent which might be followed, adding that the advisability of calling the atten- tion of the American government to| the. matter was recelving considera- tion. The government was asked what it was going to do about the ecircular be- ing distributed in the name of Sir| Broderick Hartwell, seeking investors in a project for shipping whiskey abroad and the under-secretary an- swered guardedly that the whole sub- ject to which the circular belongs {s engaging the attention of the govern- ment. Further than that he declined to say. Cabinet Meeting By The Associated Press.

Repairs on permanent pavements already have exceeded by thousands of dollars their original appropriation the mayor is informed and the resolu- tion from the council asks forthe ex- penditure of $5,000 on the Grove Hill paving proposition. “The council should have passed a resolution asking the board of finance and taxation to devise ways and means of appropriating the money,” said the mayor this morning, “I'm not going to exceed any appropriation if I can help it. Taxes are high enough now and I want to keep them down, not increase them.” Schools vs. Paving Refering to the fact that the eity | will pay $19,000 less to the state this year on its grand list than last year, he called attention to the argument that some of this money might be available for Grove Hill paving by | stating that the schools may require from $40,000 to $50,000 more this yvear. The school board already has applied to the board of finance and taxation for an appropriation of from $20,000 to $25,000 for more coal this winter, In case the job is done, the money for the payment of it will be taken from the appropriation for some other ward, intimated the mayor who said, (Continued on Page Seven.)

At the time Attorney Alcorn an- | nounced his clean up drive for Harte ford county he particularly mentioned that he was going to clean up - New Britain “once and for all.” As has been previously stated, the officials of the Civic league called at the attorney’s office and later at the United States district attorney’s office. Previous to this time they had called upon Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods of the New Britain police court, whom they asked to discuss the matter of liquor law enforcement and sign re- movals with the United States district attorney. Prosecutor Woods several days later spoke with Assistant Dif- trict Attorney John Danaher, whom was later assigned by Attorney Alcorn’ to work on the clean up squad. It {s belleved that Mr. Wood’s call at Mr, Danaher's office had some bearing on prompting the clean up in this city, Chief Hart expressed surprise at the time the clean up was announced by Mr. Alcorn, as he said at that time that New Britaln in so far as the] liquor situation was concerned was as clean if not cleaner than any eity in the state. Today on the celebration of his first anniversary as chief of po- lice he stated that the liquor situa- tion was pretty well cleaned up in New Britain (Continued on Thirteenth Page.)'
