today that there is now no doubt in

lice. will receive the complete benefits
of the State l‘iremcu's Association.
The papers containing a detailed ac-
countof the circumstances oi‘ his death
are being sent off to the association‘s
'ofllcials today.
There is no doubt in Chief Clark‘s
mind that.l.ieutenaut Schmidt's death
was due directly to his service in the
department, and with favorable action
on the part oi‘ the association, his
widow will receive $550 funeral benc-
ilt and 33 weekly apiece for her two
ini‘nnt children. until they are four-
teen years of age, Chief Clark and the
other ofilcers or the department are
being given much credit for their

Mrs. Schmidt the aid of the ussocirr
tion. There was some doubt or the

cared for the family, but a thorough
investigation of Chief Clark and others
shovved conclusively in their minds
that the young firemen could not be
considered otherwise than having died
in service.
The investigation showed that on lie-
combor 13th. Lieutenant Schmidt, who
was employed as an electrician by the
Reed and Voik Electrical Company, in
South Main street. ran all Of the way
from his place of employmcni to l.cx~
ington avenue. to answer lo an alarm
of fire. All out of breath. he burst into
a room, where tire and about bad loos-
ened the paper from the ceiliux. Chief
Clark was in tin.- room at the iimc. cu—
gazed in pulling part oi ”in paper
doWn. Later it was ascertained that
this room had housed two very severe
cases of scarlet fever about a year
ago. When the tire was over, lieu-
tenant Schmidt rode back to the cen-
ter of the city on the (lid Well hook
and ladder truck. and ii is maintained
that en route homo, while still over-
heated irom his run down to Lexing-
ton avenue, he took a severe cold. That
night be consulted Dr. Robert M.
Wolfe and was later taken down with
pneumonia. After several days' illness
at his home in Rownylon. it became
evident that he was suffering from
scarlet fever. and his nousc was plac-
ed under quarantine by the town
health oiliccr. Dr. William .I. ’l‘racoy. A
week later, the young man died. That
there had been scarlet fever in the
mouse in Lexington avenue where the
iilre occurred was substantiated by Dr.
.Wolfe. f0r the latter had attended the
cases himself.
Chief Clark quoted Dr. Wolfe today
as saying that there was no doubt of
death being caused by the circumstan-
ces above described.
The members of the fire deparlmcut
‘have taken great into-rust in the case
and are greatly pleased to learn that

NEW HAV 2N. Doc. 28.-Formor
Senator Franklin L. iloman, president
or the American Oyster company. and
Erastus Buckingham. of Warren. it. 1.,
who is allied with the oyster planters
in Narragansett iiay, returned yester-
day from their trip to the Gulf states
for the purpose of investigating the.
value of grounds for oyster (‘lllilll‘f‘ in
that section. which might be lit to
lake the place of or to supplement the
grounds which the New England oys-
ter growers already own. throvcr
they wont they were met with a hearty
reception. us all of those. states are
anxious to promote oystcr culture.
New England Best.
As a result ot‘ the trip Senator iio
man said last night that he thought
New England had the most valuable‘
oyster lands in the world although
the grounds are much more. rcsirlct- ,
cd here than olsew bole. He also said
that New England possesses advan-
tages for in advance of the other states
in the matter at oyster culture. undl
this being the case. there should be
every effort made to protect these
grounds because of their restricted
area. The work of keeping them pure
should be carried out. at no tastier
what cost. He would not indicate what
legislation on this point might be
forthcoming at. the prospective session
ol‘ the (Youueciirut legislature. but if
is expcctcd that the next legislature
will have considerable oyster legisla-
tion hcfuro ii. The idea of the senil-
tor seemed to be that ihe (‘onneril 'ut
seeding grounds for oysters, and his
development of the product in lihOde
island water. presented a combination
for oyster shippers that he had not
seen excelled up to the present time.
He will. however. lake up the mat‘
ter of southern oyster cultivation fur-
ther, within a month or two. and will
make an investigation in detail.
.on reefs there, and if they are to be
i.
whereas his present inspection has
been wholly general. ‘
Not Needy to compete.
in his trip through the Gulf states
of Alabama. Mississippi. incisions and
Texas. Senator Human found many
varying oOnditions. 'As a whole he did ’
not find that any of those Glut states
are in good shape to compete in the
oyster shipping market with New lia-
ven.
There are many reasons for this. in
the first place. the Gulf oysters will
not open nearly as many quarts to the
barrel as those of Connecticut. al-
though they are of line flavor. Seo-
omlly. the “nortiiers"~the big gains
at the south which are a feature of
ihnt country leave the oyster beds on
here that stcninera cannot get to them.
in the third place. the freshets which
are complained of in the various sou»
thorn states, kill oysters. And yet
again. the depredatlons of the drum
iish which bites an isolated oyster in
two and devours its contents, creates
havoc. There is no starfish post there
but the drum fish it seems more than
takes its place.
Louisiana Best.
Senator liomau visited the states of
Louisiana. Toms. Alabama and Min-
sissippi. He found the oysters in ihe
first state superior to all the others.
but they were raised in the delta oi
the Mississippi river, and the adjoin-
ing bayous and were so far removod
from New Orleans, that it was a mat-
ier oi carrying them ”)0 miles to not
them to market. These oysior are
eaten very largely raw in New on
loans. In fact the consumption of
oysters there is ten times what it is
here. The ilnvor of these oysters is
fine. But they will not compare in
futures when opened for shipment
with the oysters that are sent away
from New England. iiumlrods of
miles of oyster territory were exam-
ined by Mr. llumun while he was in
Inuisinna. and he regards the Louis-
iana oysters as the best he found in
the southern sixties. There is n stair.I
law which covers the taking of oyl»
torn from the animal beds or reefs.
up to a certain size. The oyster are
cultivated beds wil have to be made
for them. This is a matter which the
northern oyster farmer will have to
take into at count
No Oysters in Golf.
And furthermore. the senator said.
no oysters are grown in the Gull of
Mexico ’1‘ch water is too salt for
them there. They only flourish where
the ircsh waters oi the rivers meet
the salt waters of the ocean. Oysters
develop three times ”rapidly in Lott
isinnn waters as they do in Connecti-
cut. but a barrel of shell oysters there
will produce only one gallon of eye,
iers. while a barrel here will open out
three gallons oi‘ solid tuoaiu. Conse-
quently ii is believed that it is inlpos
Bible for the southern states to sell
ditched oysters as cheaply as we can
here.
