Fire Drives Six Families From | Broad St. Block; Damage $8,000 Damage estimated at between $8,000 and $10,000 was done by fire. water and smoke in Rosenzweig Brothers block at High and Broad streets last night, the blaze appar- ently having started in the dry goods store on the ground floor, directly inside a window on the High street side. Motorcycle Officer William J. O'Day discovered it and had a young man who was nearby send in an alarm from Box 39 at 7:52 o'clock. Several policemen responded with the fire department and went through the building to spread the| alarm. Officer James M. McCue | sustained an injury to the right el-| bow while hurrying through the | Luilding, but there were no other ill efiects reported by firemen or police- men. The cause of the fire remained undecided today, but First Deputy ! Chief Eugene F. Barnes, after m.lkv‘ ing an inspection of the premise: ’ said there was nothing to indicate in- | cendiarisnt although he could not tell whether something had found its | way through the window from the outside to start the blaze or whether | a lighted match or cigarette had | been dropped near inflammable | goods. | When the firemen arrived on the scene, they found the block, in which | six families live on the second and | third floors, so filled with dense | smoke that they had difficulty in get- ting the families out of the building. | While several of the firemen were ‘getting the six families out of the | block, through the rear entrance of | the apartments, other firemen had | chopped their way into the store, and attacked the fire. Piles of silk stockings, rayon un- derthings, women's dfesses of all materials from silk to wgol, and stacks of children’s clothing were badly scorched, and wet. Many fur coats, put on display this week, were so badly scorched that they cannot be repaired. Bed clothing, includ- ing almost a gross of silk spreads, was also scorched beyond repair. The recall at §:51 found the fire- men so badly choked up by smoke | that they could scarcely speak. Chiet Souney, who was one of the first to enter the burning store, was partic- ularly hard hit by smoke, not hav- ing completely recovered from the effects of the smoke at the Pack- ard Block fire early Thursday morn- ing. A. Rosenzweig, proprietor of the store, said last night that he had | noticed an odor of smoke in the | storz for several mornings, but could | 1ot see the smoke, and did not know | where it came from. There is no | wiring anywhere near the spot in the center of the floor where the fire was first observed. According to Mr. Rosenzweig, the | stock in the store, inventoried about three weeks ago, is worth between $22,000 and $23,000, with about §17,000 of insurance.

NORWOOD _ Clothes ) 274 -76 MAIN STREET Stores Everywhere He was at ringside the night Bat- i talino and Ignacio Fernandez did battle at the state armory. On that occasion, Governor Trum- bull shook Bat's right hand just be- fore the zero hour, wished him well and told him to do his best for the old home state. Shortly after the chief executive | had wished Bat™ bon voyage, the featherweight champion was on the floor and right over at the side of the ring where the governor and his party were sitting. Battalino said afterwards that he was thinking of what the governor had said to him as he lay on the floor with an unobstructed view of Governor Trumbull and party and what it reminded him that when he got up he would have to do some- thing for Connecticut as well as for himself. Governor Trumbull and party will occupy boxes at the stadium as Con- necticut's favorite sons in the fistic realm, the champions past and pres- ent, do\battle. 1t promises to be as big a gallery a5 has cver attended a bout in this stats and one that will draw prom- inent men from all parts of the state as well as from western Massachu- setts.
