March 31.—The govern- ment owned coal mines at Emsche- iippe in the Gelsirkcrchen were occu- pied today by French engineers. escorted by a detachment of troops with tanks. This is the ninth mine in the Ruhr taken over by the French and Belgians. Thirty thousand tons of coke and great piles of coal were seized. The French engineers found that the Germans. in expectation of the oc- cupation. had taken away parts of the plant machinery. The German mine director was ordered to have these returned. He disclaimed any knowl- edge of the disappearance, insisting they must have been taken by the workmen. He was placed under ar- rest. Several thousand miners employed at this plant went on strike immedi- ately the troops appeared. The French announced today Good Friday had been a red letter day in the Franco-Belgian coal and coke operations in the Ruhr. as more than four thousand tons of coke and six thousand tons of coal had been sent out of the Ruhr yesterday by rail and water. that WAGE INCREASE OOE TOMORROW FOR LOCAL MEN .‘nth the painters and the carpen- f nwvmwlinz: to their votes are to re- . :In Inn-rum- in pay lwginnlng to- . .w, April 1. which rnlsc however. m I wm-II- effective, on Monday. the ' ' 'u- f Up: Illvl's have asked for an .. m” :.-n rents an: hour.

R. have agreed to beautify the station grounds of the South Norwalk Sta- tion. The plans for this work have donated by Stephen Hoyt. the land- scape gu'rdncr of New Canaan. and contemplates. a privet hedge starting at Monroe street. and continuing around the outer edge of the entire station grounds. embellished by small shrubbery. flower beds and Dorothy Perkins roses in profusion. The center of the grounds will have. a. mound 160 feet long by 75 feet in width with a height of about 3 1-2 feet. on the side of this mound the word Norwalk will be worked out in large block letters. this effect being obtained by small flower beds in the letters. \Vhen this work is completed it will make the Norwalk station the most beautiful on the entire N. Y. N. H. 6; H. system. The only proviso that the railroad company makes is that sufficient loam be furnished to make a fertile ground for the growth of the plants. “'ith true Kiwanis spirit Contractor Clarence Finch volunteered to furnish the loam necessary. The present plans call for approximately 760 yards which will have to be hauled from East. Norwalk. The contract for this work has been awarded to Stryker & Stryke'r who will commence work on April 2nd.. and they expect to com- plots the Job in ten days. The hauling and digging of the loam will mean an expenditure of about 8800 and in order to raise these funds the Kiwanis Entertainment committee, of which A. D. Morgan is chairman. have arranged with Mr. Esterson for the use of the Regent Theatre on Thursday. April 10th, when a New York play will have its premier showing. The play is s. Received." and will go from here to Stamford and then commence its run in New York city. A station beautiful in Norwalk should be of great interest to every resident and should have their hearty support in making ih play I. financial success. The money obtained will be used for one specific purpose and remember the more money available the more beautiful the Station. EIGHT KNOWN DEAD IN COLUMBUS WRECK COLUMBUS March 81.——The death of W.

PROGRESS IN DISTRICT PLANT ELECTRIC PLANS Plans are being discussed by the Second District Electrical commis- sioners for the enlargement of the facilities and capacity of the local plant. and while nothing definite has been decided upon just what plan will be pursued. it is thought quite likely that the capacity increase will be taken care of by the purchase of current. ‘ There are two methods to be m- sued that are being considered, one by the addition of an oil engine to generate power. and the purchase of pmer, the other by the direct pur- chase of power. In any event the equipment of the local plant. that is not too antiquated to be used. will be used for the par- tial generation of power. The sum of $300,000 having been voted to be used for the facilities and capacity increase of the local plant. it does not necessarily follow that the entire sum will be used. The commissioners are confronted with the practical impossibility of purchasing machinery. as the mar- ket is tied up. However when ma. chinery can be obtained, it will be changes mado not alone to care for the increase of capacity and facilities at the present time. but also to take care of similar increases in the future. MORE LIVES ARE LOST IN NEW YORK FIRE NEW YORK. March 31.—Two men were burned to death and eight per- sons seriously injured early today in a fire of suspicious origin in an East Side tenement. making a total of nine persons who have lost their lives in fires this week.

According to advices racism ‘ . are today the new pumping o , . this city has been shipped fron‘th Ameri- can-La France factory at Elmira. N. Y. by freight. Just. when it will ar- rivo is s. matter of conjecture. as freight does not move as rapidly as it might during this time of the year. The receipt of tho pumper here will mean considerable towards strength- ening the efficiency of the present de- partment. It will mean that instead of having to rely upon out of town ap- paratus in case of s. serious fire. like the Clifford hotel fire. that Norwalk will be able to cope. to a great meas- ure. with any blue that might break out. The committee appointed by Mayor Calvin L. Barton to investigate and re- port its recommendations upon the present fire department system. has been holding meetings right along and is hard at work in an cf'l‘ort to have its report ready for presentation to the common council of the city at the meeting to be held on April 10. The committee, which consists of IJohn D. Milne. chairman. assisted by D. W. Harford. C. Irving Bylngton. Deputy Chief Fred M. Wheeler and Albert E. Winchester. assisted in an ex-ofllcio capacity by Fire Chief George \V. Bogardus and Fire Com- missioncr Joseph R. Taylor,’ are all men who are particularly fitted to conduct such an investigation and make such a report; While the pro- ceedings of the committee are of a private nature. it was stated today there would be nothing of a. “very startling nature" in the report.
