The stock and fixtures of Resnick suf- fered greatly from fire, smoke and water, while the goods in both Rob- ins and Adlers were badly damaged by water, smoke and fire. yEmploye- in Reney's store dis- covered the fire and they shouted across the street to Joseph Hayes who turned in the alarm, Shut OF Gas Supply Danger of further spread of flames from bursting gas pipes was climi- nated soon after the alarm had been rung in by the promp® action of & force of employes of the New Brit- ain Gas Co, who appeared on the scene and stopped the flow of gas into the two buildings. 1t was 2:30 o'clock before Com- pany No. 1, tho last of the fire de- partment, was deppatched to its station, Considerable water went into the ccllar and it was necessary to get workmen to use a large pump to relieve the condition there. An alarm from Box No. 6 at the corner of Main and Commercial strects at 11:55 o'clock brought Hose Companles, 1, 2, 3 and 4 and Ladder Companies 1 and 2 to the scene. As Company No. 1 swuag out of its Commercial street station, directly in front of it at the head of Commerclal street was the fire. smoke Clouds Direct Firemen Clouds of smoke belching from the shoe shine shop of Joseph Reney and the jewelry store of 1. Resnick showed thein that they had plenty of work to do. Members of Company 1 started laying hosc across Main street and shortly after, No. 4, 3 and 2 were at the scene getting lines of hose strung out. g The fire was in the cellar under- neath the shoe shine parlor and the jewelry store. The firemen were forced to break in the cellar win- dows and as they did, flame and smoke burst forth driving them back with its first rush, Holes were chopped through the floors and under the direction of Firat Chief. Noble and Deputy Chief Barnes. the streams of water started to have telling effect on the flames. The firemen weve hampered with the colume of smoke pouring out of the building and none of them couid stick at their task for any great length of time. Firemen Called From Dinner Company No. 3, under the com- mand of Captain Michael Butler, the members called from their scats ut the dinner table, turned into Myrtle street and strung a long linc of hose from the Myrtle street side to the rear of the building. Later the com- pany was ordered to the front to join in the battle that was being waged there. Becausc of the hecavy snow and the icy footing occasioned by the water flowing over the sidewalks, handling of the hose was very dif- ficult. Volunteers from the crowds eased the work of the firemen when they lent willing hands to drag the lines along the street. A cry arose that the fire was spreading. 1t had worked into & partition between the old Schupack building and the new and was spreading underneath the stores oc- cupied by the Robins Cilothes Co. and Adler's Silk Shop.

Coming to the CAPITOL SOON It was necessary to cut holes around the floor in.the attorney's effice but the fire was stopped there without its going any higher. For more than an hour, the fire. men battled away at the flames with streams from six lines of hose being played continually em apots where the fire still Jurked. A large crowd collected in a short time at the scene. A squad of po- licemen kept the onleokers out of the way of the firemen but the press of le became s0 great that it was ry to rope off a large section of Main street. All traffic going northward on Main street was stopped, trolleys being held south of the railroad crossing for more than an hour and a half. OUSTING OF GOD AFFECTING WORLD Vices Bating Out Hoart of Social Lile. Priest Says ““Gibbeting the body of human so- clety and eating out the heart of so- clal lite are the glaring vices which today are seen as direct results ef the divorce of men and women from God,” declared Father Cletus of the Pasionist order, in preaching at the Lenten services at 8t. Mary's church last evening. The church was filled to jts capacity, “Man in his puny intellect and his stilted and self constituted superi- ority is proceeding to eliminate all he cannot dissect, weigh or measure, said the speaker, and in his disre- gard for faith is enacting a tragedy in the world today almost as great as that of 1900 years ago. Just as in the greatest tragedy of all times, the execution of Christ, when His life blood was drained out through five wounds, so there are five wounds bleeding the life of modern society, the present day world. “Gibbeting the body of human so- ciety and caling out the heart of so- cial life are the glaring vices which today are scen as direct results of the divorce of men and women from God,” stated the speaker, in speak- ing of what he considered the first o fthe wounds in America's body, rejection of Christ. The prgsent day is one of remarkable and wonder- fully scientific advance, one of wor- ship, of & sometimes dangerous con- secration to science, - Dangerous since because of it the belief in God is disappearing. Man's genius and his discoveries are sources of won- der but for human genius to darc invade the higher realm of God, to weigh and measure the infinite and cmnipotent with scales, the slide- rule and the test tube, to scrape the pages of Revclation bare of divine power, is destroying the very pur- pose for which that genius was given.

New York, Feb. 21 UP—Heavy buying of the steel shares turned the course of prices upward in toda stock market after an early period of irregularity attributed to uncer- tainties in the credit situation, Trading was fairly heavy for a pre- holiday session, with short covering again playing an important part in the day's operations. Some restraint was apparent because of the meet- ing of directors of the New York Federal Reserve Bank after the close, but the majority -of observers looked for no change in rate at this time, Call money renewed at €3 per cent and was expected to go Figher in view of the heavy holiday de- mands, and the necessity of banks readjusting their positions at the federal reserve. Time money and commercial paper rates held fitm. Steel Common Leads U. 8. Steel common returned to its old role as a market leader by climbing nearly ¢ points to 182 1.4, as against a low of 169 on Monday, on buying based on reports that cur- rent operations were around 30 rer cent of capacity. Bethlehem moved up to & new high at 96%. Adams Express soared 10 points, Allied Chemical 7%, National Tea €%, Commercial Solvents and Cros- ley Radlo 61 and Radio (old stock) National Distillers preferred, Ameri- can Home Products, Lackawanna railroad and Advance Rumely com- mon sold ¢ to 63 points higher. Jersey Central, which changes hands infrequently, broke 30 points below the previous sale. Liquidation also developed 'n the airplane issues, Curtiss dropping more than 5 points and Wright 3. American & Foreign Power fell back 5 points on the an- nouncement of neéw stock financing. Except for thet publication of an- other series of favorable earnings reports, with an unusually good showing by Hupp Motors, there was little in the day's business news to influence the price movement. Many brokers felt that present re- discount rates would not be disturb- cd until the effect of higher buying rates on bankers' acceptances out- side of New York was determined. Wall Slreet looks for a drop of be- tween $50,000,000 and $75,000,000 in brokers' loans, but this estimate may prove high because of the heavy new financing during the past weck.

BOND MARKET HAS SEGOND QUIET DAY Little Action Outside of Railway and Convertible Issues New York, Feb. 21 (M—Trading in the bond market today drifted 483 |along at about the pace of yester- day's extraordinarily dull session, with prices moving within narrow limits. What little activity there was developed in the rail and convertl- ble issues. There was very little over the holiday selling in the morn- ing hours, and at midday the market ruled fairly steady. Money was reported in supply, and calling of loans was nominal. International Telephone Converti- ble 4 1-2s ignored the carly break in the stock and advanced fraction- ally with Alleghany corporation bs |and American International b 1-2s. Big Four 4 1-2s, New Haven re- funding 4 1-2s and Chesapeake corporation is were among the rails to show improvement. Pennsyl- vania Gold 4 3-4s yielded slightly to selling pressure. New York Traction issues were firm. Trading in the industrial and foreign lists was practically at a standstill.
