Willimantic, Jan. 81.—Fire that broke out shortly after 5 o'clock this afternoon In the cellar -of the four-story frame Hills_block on Nérth street for a time threatened the business district of this city, and proved to be the most stubbern fire the local department has had to con- tend with since the big Jordan bullding fire in Ng ember, 1916, The block contained ths office of Dr. Laura H. Hills, owner, and séven tene- ments, all occupled. The fire had gain- ed- considerable headway in the cellar before smoke began to pour Into the rooms of the house through the ventila- tors of rooms in the house, filling the entire Btructure with a dense smoke, making it impossible for all the oocu- pants to escape from the house. On the fourth floor, When the fire started were Morton Baker, George Orrok and Hannah Sullivan, housekeep- er for the Bakers.” The young men saw the smoke piling into the rooms and called to Miss Sullivan to make her es- jcape. All three started down the stairs, but Miss Sullivan suddenly returned to the apartment, the two boys making their way safely to the street. When Miss Sullivan endeavored to_escape sho found the way to safely cut off. Throw- ing open a window in the fourth floor, she shouted for aid. here was consid- erable delay in getting the extension ladder to the window, a serles of mis- haps nearly causing Miss Sullivan seri- ous injury.. When the ladder finally was put up it was several feet short but this failed to stop “Mike” Phillips who ran up ‘the ladder and shoved it to the win- dow. The smoke had nearly overcome Miss Sullivan by this time but she was able to clamber over the window siil in- to the arms of Phillips and Fireman “Lefty” Smith, and was carried to safe- ty while the crowd cheered the men who had made the rescue. She was rushed to a nearby house and given medical at- { tention, The firemen soon had several streams of water playing on the blaze, flooding out the fire in the cellar. The cold alr chutes In the house, acting as fire car- riers, had by this time spread the fire %o all parts of the house and the fire- men slowly drove it back till it was con- fined to the fourth story and attle. Here the roofing of asbestos coversd ‘with metal did not allow the flames to vat through the roof and they spread ‘throughout the upper story, busting out through the dormer windows on the roof. The height of the fire made it impossible to reach it with city pressure and Streams from the pumper Wwere used to flood the house and prevent the fire from coming lower. The danger of fight- ing tke fire increased when the roof be- gan to fall inwards, portions threaten- Ing 4o slide off onto the firemen below at_vérious times. By 11.15 o'clock the roof was nearly burned off ang the firemeén could reach the flames and force them slowly to one corner of the structure. The recall sounded at 1115, but a lively fire was still raging in the building although it was under control. When The Bulletin Went to press firemen were still fighting the flames which were confined to the partitions of the house. The temperature made the fire fighting | difficult, the water freezing when it struck the ground, coating everything with ice. Several firemen who fought the flames from the inside penetrated to the third story and were overcome by smoke: They were carried from the bullding, and given a rest, later returning to the fight. Hundreds of people stood in the cold and cheered the firemen on. Many of them took a hand at the hose to relieve regulars who wers forced to abandon the fight because of the cold. The Salvation Army lassies lived up to their reputation and were soon on the scene servimg hot coffee, sandwiches and doughnuts to the fire fighters. The work- ers of the army stayed at the fire latein- to the night, taking the risks with the firemen, to give them warm drinks Which were appreciated by the men who Were in need of such a stimulant. Peos ple living in the neighboring houses of- fered their places to the families driven out into the night, wearing only the clothing With Which they escaped, . The block, which is ona of the biggest Wooden_stiuctures in the city, was own- ed by Dr, Laura H. Hills, who had her @partment on the third floor and occu- pied an office on the first floor. Other bocupants of the block who lost all their property, in damage by fire and water were Miss Virginia Baker, occupant of the fourth floor, Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. William Whitte- more, Hobert Gallagher, George Tripp ang Mr. and Mrs. Strong, The building and contents are badly damaged, Dr. Hills stated that the structure could not be replaced today for dess than $75,000, and the less on the building and contents will probably reach § Practically every fireman, regular and call man, was on duty and desérve muoh eredit for holding the fire to the block, The metal roof, although mak- iing the fire hard to fight perhaps aided in keeping the fire from spreading to ad- Joluing blocks, and the firemen were able 0 get onto the roofs of houses near ths dblock and send tre streams into the up- Der_stories, / The first call for the fire Wwas received by* telephone at Engine Company No, 1 and the Reo pumpe- responded. When the firmen arrived it was seen that the flames had soread slmost instantly to all parts of the house and an alarm was Sent in from box 34, calling out all ap- Paratus in the city.

CARDINAL LOGUE AN ADVOCATE OF ECONOMY London, Feb. 1.—“Benadict XV did ail he could to bring an end to the war, re- maining strictly meutral himself,” de- clared Cardinal Logue, primate of Tre- land, to the Rome correspondent of the London Times. The cardinal explained | the necessity of economy by pointing out that the late pope “gave away every penny he could find.” Calling attentlon to the pontiff's nen- tral efforts to terminate the war, he add- ed, “when he found he couln't end it he devoted all his energies and money to_relieving the suffering it had caused. Surely, never was there a more generous pope.

I shall let myself be guided en- tirely by the holy spirit and no one could have a better guide than that.” “FAKE” PATIENTS ROBEED NEW YORK PHYSICIAN New York, Jan. 31.—Dr. Felix Graboft was the victim of a grab-oft today.

Smith began by lauding the faith- fulness and upfightness of the judges of Amérfoan courts. The body of substan- tive Jaw we have, he also pra high- 1y Hé recalled the devel of law, showing the gradual emergence from the days when it carriéd a heavier penalty 10 assaukt a child of the rich than the poor. Passing to defects of our it sys- tem, he citéd the case of an Italian worker who had sign mflu&n‘lx‘;"" folded paper a qgntract to buy a pho- nograph. He th?n wished to be released from the injustice, of his assigned wages. There were three things he could d0; namely, sue his employer for the withheld Wages, which was manlfestly unfist to The employer; sus the agent for the talking machine, which meant delay for months; or go Into court of equity, which would readily tear up the unjust comtract, but to apply called for $3 for the clerk, §5 for saeriff, and 3§13 for the lawyer. Prejudices Publie Against Courts. The speaker sald the effect of delay and such expense is to kindle in the . fo an idea that courts to create a prejudice “We as lawyers know Drogress is being made. Your president (Robértson) has spoken of recent attain- ments through the legisiatuze of your state.” As to cost of fees, Mr. Smith said, lawyers do not realize are heavy, per- haps prohibltive on a workér at $20 a week. Hundreds of thousands have thus been hampersd or blocked in their search for justice. 1t made the speaker indignant every time he read the: opinion in the case of Campbell vs. a rallroad in another state, when an impracticable bond being re- quired, the decision runs, “It seems al- most a hardship that a poor man” may not have the right to go on with his clalm. Much is said of the sovereign Tight of a state to tax but too little of the right of the cltizen to his day in court. In federal courts one may carry his cause through to the supreme court at Washington Without a penny of Charge if he bé Indigent. Comnécticut s at much the same stage as Massachu- setts—both, Mr. Smith said, should press for legislation that will enabls the Door to proceed without payment of fees it unable to pay. Small Clalms Court. “But while délays can be avolded and court fees otherwise provided, the law- yer must have an income for this neces- sary expense, and his services are es- senfial, - AL is true the ‘small claims court’ wiil care for a group of such cases” Mr. Smith credited Prof. W. R. Vanes of the Yale Law school with having worked much on details of such courts. The Massachusetts court that handles claims of §30 and less was described; prompt and friendly settlement was co mon, and the state grange wants limit raised to §50. Where there are no such courts and court expenses are necessary, the tendency i to drop such cases, with prejudice on the part of the people against the legal system of their country. There 1s no sound solution, hewever, said Mr. Smith, except the supplying of counsel. He spoke of the public defend- er, now a featurs of Connecticut justice also of a legal ald bureau in Boston; there is a staff of seven lawyers receiv- Ing $100 a month who handle 5,000 cases a year. The work costs $15,000 a year. The speaker looked to see such lega. ald provided as a public agency in Con- necticut. - “It would be _enviable,” he said, “if Connecticut led the way.” Cone ditions are favorable, for the superior court could appoint an executive who should appoint local legal aids. On the civil side, Connecticut has not done as much in this matter as on the criminal side, and less than other states. Mr. Smith concluded his address by repeating the veteran oath of an attor- ney, which provides “I will mot reject the ‘cause of the defenseless or the penni- less, 50 help me God.” Contributions to law improvement, he said, is done less by individuals than by associations. All the bublic needs is intélligent leadership and this the trained bar can provide. Mr. Smith's toplc was Justice and the Poor. He wrote the report on the sub- fect issued by the Carnegle Foundation.
