- 'NEW BRITAIN [IERALD [w---] SONS OF TALY HALL 15 BURNED Albany Strwtm Destroped With Loss of $130,000 Albany, N. Y, Jan. 32 UP—Fire of undetermined origin early today destroyed the Sons of Italy hall, a three story brick structure in 120 Madison avenus, on the edge of the main business district here, causing loss put at approximately $150,000 by firemen. Damage to adjacent bulldings from smoke and water might bring the estimate of total loss well over that figure, when a check-up was made, they said. Every fire company in the city was called out The fire, which began shortly after midnight and had not been brought under control at three o'clock this morning, soon enveloped the block in which the hall stood with smoke so that firemen were unable to determine. how many buildings in the closely built-up block were affected Many persons in the block, alarme® at the spread- ing of the smoke fled to the streets, fearing that their residences were involved. ‘The density of the smoke cloud. forced the firemen into the open time and again. Tons of water were played on the fire from hose run- ning through stores on South Pearl street, on one side of the block, and from the roofs of nearby bulld- ings. The branch of the First Trust Company, on the ground floor of a four story brick building in the block was under heavy police guard during the fire ag a precaution. Captain Willlam J. Rogers and George J, Reittinger, hoth members of Engine Company 4, were over-| come by smoke. HOSPITAL GROWTH SHOWN IN REPORTS (Continued from Page Two) in the psysio-therapy department. ‘This training should prove of a great | value to the student and a source of | comfort to patients receiving treaat- ment. It will also enable us to give the students another branch of work which will make her a more valuable asset to the community, and that an affiliation with a Visiting Nurse association. We have long felt that the curriculum was wot complette without this training. | “We are now in a better position to send more students to the Yale 'ilhm,l of nursing if housing of the liates can be arranged with Yale. Our affiliation with Yale for pedia- trics and communicable disease has | been beneficial to the students. “The work in our class room has progressed most favorably under the splendid supervision of Miss Anna ‘Thomas. Evidence of her high grade of teaching has been shown not only in the class rooms, but from the re- £ults of the state board examinations for the degree of R. N. We have for five years required all our graduates | to take the state board examination. During this time only five have been required to be re-examined in one or another subject. I believe this achool holds a record with the state board of examiners for few failures, “I should like at this time to make the following recommendations: That an addition of some sort be made to the soclal parlor.

May I also express my gratitude and thanks to the board of directors and the women's hospital board for all benefits received? “To the doctors for their lecture work and medical services to sick students and to our superintendent, Dr. T.

A Berlin newspaper quotes Mrs. | Hetzel, wife of a German manager ! of & match factory near the royal residence in Kabul from which| place she was evacuated by a Brit- ish airplane, as saying that Amanul- lah some times personally enforced ! his reforms in dress. She told this incident: Amanullah once met an Afghan workman who was wearing the European clothes decreed by Ama- nullah except that on his head was & turban. The oriental headdress| angered Amanullah and he sgatched | it from the workman's head, threw it into the mud, stamped upon it. Great Insult To have anyone, even & king, a great insult to a Moslem and Mrs. Hetzel said this incident il feeling against Amanuliah. The refugee also gave what she said was an instance of the de- throned king's treachery. Amanullah received a letter when | {he was still king from the rebel | leadcer Bacha Sakao, now ruiing as Habibullah Khan, promising to en- ter the king's service if his ban- ditry was forgiven. Amanullah d. Bacha Sakao determined to put the king's forgiveness to a test and, disguising his voice, telephoned Amanullah. He represented himself governor and | asked the king what to do with | Bacha, who, he said, had reported | to him. Deceived, Amanullah gave in- structions to remove or blind Bacha. | Bacha was enraged and revealed his identity by saying, “I will come to Kabul tomorrow and blind yeu.” The next day he launched his attack on the capital i George H. Bigelow, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, CHEMIST FRED IN LIQUOR SCANDAL| ‘amgs Prelerred He Gave Ont ] False Analyses of Seirares Wilson that analysis of seised liquor had been falsely reported by state house chemists with the result that police were unable to obtain con- victions had been met today by Dr. state commis- sioner of health, with the dismissal of Willlam Crawford of Medford, Jjunior chemist. Crawford, charged by Bigelow with having submitted false and misleading reports on liquor samples submitted to him, announced he would fight and that he had re- tained Frank A. Goodwin, former tends to demand. The ousted chemist declared he had been “framed” and that his dis- missal was the result of his refusal to help certain members of the liquor squad to obtain convictions when analysis of their samples |showed only a legal alcoholic con- | tent. Victim of Quarrel Crawford, who entered the state cmploy as an office boy, i S have been working'in the health d partment for 15 ycars and have been analyzing liquor since prohibi. tion began. No criticism has ever been made of my work until recent- ly when Sergeant William McKensie became a member of the liquor | squad. “I am the victim of the quarrel now going on in the liquor squad at headquarters.” Crawford charged them “bolster” their cases, but had | consistently refused. r. Bigelow's action followed an order from Gov. Frank G. Allen di- recting him, it necessary, to reorgan- !ize his department. In announcing that he would rep- resent Crawford, Goodwin said: “From what information I have gathered at the state house today I Mr. Crawford, the official or officials | responsible for the loose handling of i liquor. in the health department should be removed.” Goodwin charged that the samples | for analysis were brought to and re- moved from the state house by po- lice in unsealed bottles and were “wide open to fraud and fixing.” “I think that before this versy is over some of those who started it will wish they had left it alone,” he dsclared.
