All of the Fire Apparatus South of 23d Street Called Out, New York, April 3—A section of the business section in the lower part of the city was threatened today by a spectacular fire which burned two five- story buildings at 16 and 18 Beekman street, occupied by paper dealers. The loss was estimated at $100,000. For a time the flames, which swept rapidly through the inflammable ma- terials in the buildings, imperilled sev- eral skyscrapers on both sides of the narrow thoroughfare and on Nassau street. Several floors of the fourteen- story Morse building were damaged. The American Tract society building of twenty stories, in which the New York Sun offices are located, also was damaged by smoke and water. Four alarms were turned in within twenty minutes, calling out virtually all the fire apparatus south of Twenty- third street. Police reserves were sum- moned to keep thousands of persons who crowded about being injured. Water from the fire hose poured down Beeckman street and threatened to flood the excavation of the new subway, but the workmen built a dam th sacks of earth and cement, @ veriing the stream into Spruce street. The buildi burned today were | badly damaged by fire about two weeks ago and were being repaired. The heaviest losses from the fire were sus- tained by the Thorpe Paver company, Lasher & Lathrop Paper company, Lindenmeyver Paper company and the Bishop Paper company. Cotton Helpers Iabo; in Co.

Donohue on Monday at his office in the Central building. The first hearing was held at 11 o'clock in the morning. Alec Zinzich of No. 11 Third street was the injured employe seeking further compensation. He was injured on June 17th, 1915, while in the employ of the United States Finishing company. There was a question as to whether or not the employe was entitled to further compensation and according to the testimony presented it was found that -the employe was able to earn as much as before his in- jury which was a badly lacerated left wrist, and that any difference in the amount of his wages at this time was caused by lack of work rather than any disability due to the original in- jury. Further compensation was de- nied. The second hearing took place in the afternoon at 2 o'clock and was the case of George Greenman against Miss Betsey Wilcox of Moosup. Mr. Greenman was injured on Sept. 2, 1915, when he suffered blood poisoning in his left hand caused by an injury from a brier while he was binding corn. Compensation was awarded for 15 weeks at $6 per week, together with medical services amounting to $57. Dr. W. W. Adams of Moosup who was the attending physician, testified as to the nature and extent of the injury. Louis R. Burton, Esq. of New Ha- ven, represented the insurers, The Emplovers' Liability Assurance cor- poration. Eight Agreements Signed.

Crampton, superintendent of fish and zame, said Monday that the swollen condition of the brooks and streams was making trout fishing at present very difficult. This was par- ticularly true of the southern part of the state. He had heard, however, of successful fishing since the season opened on April 1. The most success- ful fishing so far was in Meriden. Su- perintendent Crampton would not be surprised if the trout fishing this year should not prove satisfactory. Auto- mobiles enabled more people than ever before to go into the country and reach the trout streams. Commodore Plant Coming Home. Commodore and _Mrs. Morton F. Plant are at their New York home for a few days after wintering in Florida. They are expected at the new bunga- low at Eastern Point Thursday.
