Small Soars in Music Hall Last
Night, Owing to Fire While
Views Were Being Shortn—
Audlenee Wes Soon Calmed

g...—

Fred Beck, of the Electrograph Coni-
Deny, proprietors of the Music Hall at—
tractions. was hailed as a. hero, last
night, for his prompt and cool action.
when a moving picture roll of gelatine
film took lire.

Disregarding completely his own por-
sonai danger, Mr. Beck picked up the
burning film? carried it down two
flights of stairs and threw it out of a
window on to the South Malli street
brick pavement, where the iiifialuablc
material burned itself out. During the

brief space of time required to was the
film out of the window Mr. Beck's
hands were painfully blistered and his
face was scorched.

Mr. Beck's action transpired in plain
view of part of the audience and ex-
clternent. was quickly communicated
to between 400 and i300 people.

To add to the precarious situation,
someone. as is usually the case in
crises of this kind. shouted “fire," and
a portion of the audience rose to its
feet. _

After .Mr. Beck's action any possi-
ble danger froru fire was over, how-
ever, lult it was a Job to quiet down
the audience. Some men, calmer than
others, arose In various parts of Will
hall and assured the audience that
there was no danger and Mr. Heck ro-
turnod to the hall and did likewise.

r. Gundy was back of the stage at the
tine the trouble occurred iilld he
quickly came out and did what he
could to relieve the tension. Special
Officer Edward J. Gaffnoy who is iii
ways on duty at the half had his
part to play—that of seeing tliat the
crowd did not start to rush out. Spec‘
mi Officer Frank S, Sirallon. who was
also on his bent in South Main street,
went up into the hall to assist. in
quieting tho feprs of the audience.

The niovin picture machine, filills
and operatorglrd enclosed in an i on
box and Mr. Gundy said today i at
the film would have hunted there
without fire communicating to the the-
stre, but it was considered boot to
take the film out. owing to the smoke.
Just how the film took tire was not
known. thflbgb it was shortened that a
piece of c on front the electric light
device dropped on it. The film was In
a suit case and Mr. Grindy said tlinl.
henceforth. a metal box will be used
as a receptacle.

The entertainment continued with.
out interruption while the incident was
in progress.

The entertainment was given un-
der the auspices of the Sick ilcnefll So.
ciety of tire Hlil 'i‘riininers' Society
and will not the organization a consid-
erable sum.

The entertainment was a fine one.
consisting of “Vii first-class vaudeville

Diver and Derrick Doing Good Work
It Paper Company's Deck.

A large crowd of people watched the

operation of removing the rocks front

\the river bed near the St. (letirgf‘ i'u-

per Company' a docks in Norwalk, yes
terday afternoon and this morning.
The rocks are the ones which stové
in the hull of the schooner Francis
Goodwin Yesterday afternoon, the
largest one so far was taken orit. it
was estimated that the stone would
weigh about twelve tons.

The diver went to the bottom and
managed to get a large chain around
the stone. and when all was ready he
came up on the scow. Tire hoisting
engine was started, and the scow wcnt
mer to one side with the tremendous
weight. The stone started. and it was
orlt of the water, when suddenly the
chains sliprkd and allowed the great
stone to splash back to the bottom.
and again the diver went down and
fastened the chain around it. This
time the big stone was gotten on the
scow without mishap.

This morning two other smaller ones
were raised. and about 12 o'clock one
that was nearly as large as the first
one was fastened and landed on deck.
There are two more large and danger-
Gills rocks which are to be taken out
t is afternoon. One rock was located
by the diver this morning, but it was
so large that it was left alone. as it
was not in a very dangerous position
for the boats.

Csn Contest for Sharpehool-
ers’ Badges

“O--

 

At the May day shoot of the Sixth
Company. Coast Artillery, which was
held yesterday st. the South Wilton
range, a fine time is reported. There
were forty~seven men who reported for
duty yesterday morning. at the
Armory, leaving eleven absent, and the
0:20 train was taken to South Wilton
and the company marched to the
range.

The special feature of the day was
the flue dinner, which was prepared
for the men, which of course was

pleasing to them. Thirteen of the
men qualified as marksmon, which re-

quires ninotyeight points. The list
was as follows:

Captain Prowitr ................ .128
Private H, 1.. Sterling ........... 125
Sergeant Rodgers ............... 122
Sergeant Mossman ............ 119
Private Fowler .. ........ ........109
Private Dyer ....... . ............ 108
Private Onkes .................. .107
Sergeant Sherwood .............. 106
Private Erlenboni ............... 105
Private if. F. Clark ......... .....i(l~f
Private Kelly ............. . ...... 99
First Sergeant Hctts .‘" ............ 99
Sergeant Gray ................... 99

There were twelve more men who
could have easily qualified as marks-
men, but they did not have time to
shoot at the 500 yard range.

All the men who have made over 120
points linve the right tolnow shoot
for n shurpshmtcr‘s badge. which they
will do at the next shoot.

The Seventh Company has gone to
the range today to shoot.

Tomorrow the Stamford coinpnny
will use the range and Thursday the
Grenwich shooters will try their luck.

ARTILLERY MAY
ENTER A TEAM

 

Disposition Among Guardsmen
is To Try Their Luck Again

Despite the scandal raised in Na-
tional (lunrd circles regarding a year
ago when charges and counter charges
were made against. different teams.
the Coast Artillery Corpmwiil again
enter a team. Tire next state" match,
which will be shot st least Maren Julie
20 and 27, was according to popular
understanding, to be pullud'orf with—
out a team froiii tho wast .‘tlllery.

When the Third infantry was in or
lstence there was pronounced feciink

ovor the manner in which certain of-
ficers of tho Sécolid Infantry tnllu~
oneed the officials of the state mulch.
Two years ago this was fanned to a
flame, and the Third, Regiment decili-
cd to enter no ruore tennis. A little
discussion between ofileers of the
Third and First infantry resulted ill
the vow that the First should never
culer'n team. if this vow liild iit'l-ll
kept the Second Infantry would have
had to shoot the match alono.

(burst Artillery oiiTl'erlr say that this
condition of nifulrs——A stale match HH-
contestcd~would have brought out
certain facts about previous matches
which would have changed the corn-
plexlon of affairs regarding shooting
iii the state. They insist that their
position was the last resort to bring
the powers to he to shake up the sys-
telir “of appointing officials of the
slnlo matches.

The state team, they say. is picked
so far lil advance, first there Is prac‘
lioally no sense of any officer In this
part of the state contesting for a place
on it. Second infantry, which is in-
vored with the best opportunity for
title practice. will have the lion's
have of representatives. Now that the
t‘oasl Artillery has displaced the old
l‘iiird ltcginicnt. new officers who have
not experienced the domineering air
of certain representativos of the Sec—
sind infantry want the corps to be rep-
resented. Unless the match is shot on
different terms than have prevailed in
previous years, it will probably be the
Inst one the Coast Artillery will cu-
er.

EVELYN MAY WITHDRAW SUIT.

 

Hearing This Afternoon Before The
Referee in New York.

NEW YORK, May 26,—Whether or
not Mrs. Evelyn Thaw will withdraw
hor suit for annulment of her mar~
raigo to Harry K. Thaw will probably
be determined this afternoon, when a

hearing on the case is scheduled to
take place before the referee in this
city. Hearings have been postponed
several times at the request of counsel
for both sides, and Daniel O'Rellly.
Mrs. Tlmw' s counsel. has stated that
he desires more evidence before pro-
ceeding with the hearings.

Following the decision of Justice

Morschanser, yesterday, that Thaw is
insane, and mutt be kept in an asylum.
came a report that Thaw and his wife
have become reconciled, that Mrs.
Thaw will withdraw her suit today.
and that she will ask to be appointed
a. committee of his estate. it is re-
ported that Thsw's relatives will con-
test each an appointment, but Thaw
has denied that he had consulted them
about it.
Thaw‘s legal estate at present is
said to consist of $2,400 a year, be.
quenthed by his father's will. The
control of his father‘s estate is in the
hands of executors.

A serious situation developed here in
regard to the water supply. The inains
are filled with black, muddy water un-

clare it. may be a week before they
can restore the normal water supply.
In the meantime those who can af~
ford it are buying water from private
artesian wells, and those who cannot.
are drinking the water that comes
from the mains. Thrilling scenes were
reported from Currowlon and Grape-
vine. Thirteen men, women and chil-
dren were caught in the overflow of
the Danton river.

Their condition became-so precari-
ous that they were forced to hold the
children upon their shoulders in order
to keep them from drowning. These
people stood in water almost to their
necks for ten hours until rescued.

Thirteen railroad employes engaged
in repairing a. bridge at Grapevine
were hemmed in by the rising waters
on Monday. They sought refuge on
