Captains Say Weather Was Fit to Start Out from New Haven. Inspectors Withey and Stewart have compieted the collection of afidavits which they were seeking in their in- vestigation of the loss of four barges by tug Pliny Fisk last Saturday morn- ing, when they broke away from the tug near Bartlett's reef. Masters of, tugs which came to New London from New Haven Friday, starting at the| same time as the Fisk, were examined | by the inspectors in regard to weather | condition. Michael Garrett, mate of the Fisk, reported to the inspectors Tuesday | afternoon as is required of him as a licensed officer. Mate Garrett substan tiates the statement of Capt. Edward A. Gilligan regarding the weather con- ditions and says that at no time in severai hours that the tug was pullmg against a flood tide were all the barges In tow visible. The weather was too thick to enable the men in the plilot house to see the flagstaff on the tug at times. All of the tugboat captains whom the inspectors have interviewed agree that the weather was fit for the tugs to leave New Haven and that no storm signals were displayed there. The statements of the witnesses dis- agree only in describing the velocity of the wind, some opining that it was a fresh breese and others that it was a light wind. Captain Gilligan has amended his statement regarding the aggregate of cargoes of the lost barges, which he previously described as amounting to 3,000 tons of ceal. There were 4,629 tons of coal in the four hulls, Besides the afidavits of Captain Rogers of tug Minnie, who went into the sound to look for the drifting barges and was forced back by wind and sea, and Captain Halyburten of the Aries, previously taken, Captains Green of the Vigilant and Smith of the Battler have deposed to the in- spectors. The investigation now awaits the receipt of the testimony of the four surviving barge captaing, which will be taken by the inspectors at New York. ENTERTAINED WORKERS. §t. Mary’'s T. A. B.

Under Discussion at Present Time in Norwich—One Com:ern1 With Large Capital Cons! ing Loan Association Proposed—Necessary Acreage Not Secured For Pickle Salting Station at Yantic. —— In more than one way at the present time there are plans under considera- tion which rmay bring new business en- terprises to this city, and at a meet- ing in the rooms in the Shannon building three members of the indus- tries committee of the Norwich Busi- | ness Men's association spoke of the possibility of new concerns locating in | this city. Of one concern that was mentioned, the report was made that the prospects were very good that it would secure a location here, and if it did it would add a large industry with plenty of capital behind it to the busi- Dess enterprises of the city, Those present at the meeting were Chairman Frank H. Smith, William F. Hill, William A. Somers, Daniel T. Shea, George W. Carroll, James { Hiscox, S. Jeffrey Coit, . V. Pendle- | ton, Jr, and Herbert R. Branche. | The recent agitation regarding the | scarcity of up-to-date homes in the city, which it has been stated would | become even more apparent if new in- | dustries should be induced to locate | here and bring in any considerable number of help, resulted in bringing up the matter of a building loan and trust company. W. F. Hill was ap- pointed a_committes of one to investi- gate the feasibility of forming such a ompany and to report at the next meeting. It waa also voted that a fu- ture meeting be held with the new in- dustries committee of the Board of Trade and that when the matter of the building lean association is brought | 1 | | | | be invited to attend te confer and dis- cuss the matter. 1f such a company should be organ- ized it is expected that it would erect { wood company asked for, but all that | plainiyg.
