Connell Bays Heat Intense. 8o Intense was the heat from a grain and wood fire in the south end of the ruins, just across from his plant, President ConneH said, that his automobile, standing Just across the street from the blaze, at 4:30 Wednea- day afternoon, the day of the fire be-, came so hot that he could scarcely -place his hand on the metal parts. An- other man who walked by that grain ' fire half an hour before the mill be-, nan to burn, Connell continued, had to hold his hat over his face to protect himself from the heat. s Men in his employe were threat ening to leave him, Connell testified, because of the stench from the soured wheat ajtd the st.ifling smoke which swept through his mill every time tha wind was In the right di rect ion. Three times, he said, he had made the endeavor to see Mayor Albee to have the burning permit revoked, and each time he was unsuccessful. The day after one of these at tempts to see the mayor, Mr. Connell stated.

The suit will Involve at least hund red millions probably more. T.iis tremendous amount covera the entire period of what they charge to be the deliberate phinderings of the New Haven system One estimate was the- total amount whi. h the stockholders aim to recover Is between $126,000,000 and $250,000, 000. The former figure Is the most i tnservativ.. estimate. Back of the fight are influential Boston and New England men. They are all New Haven stockholders. They aeelare that action in the courts ia likely to prove the only way to bring back to tbe New Haven the millions which have been pilfered from it. They have retained Sherman L. "Whipple, one of the ablest attorneys in Massachusetts, to lead their fight to win' back the misused funds. Money They Wast Restored. Here are the millions whifch the stockholders seek to have restored: The $20,000,000 lost in buying up Boston & Maine etock in defiance of the law. The $60,000,000 to $100,000,000 used in the trolley gobble In defiance of the law. Th $11,000,000 wilfully squandered in the notorious Westchester deal. The millions certain directors ara. accused of having- turned into private personal profits through commissions or otherwise on illegal investments of New Haven money. And all the other millions taken from the Nfew Haven till and expended in illegal investments. Those behind - the suit claim that it opens up the best way for right ing the wrongs which have been done the New England railroads year after year, and that it furnishes the only means for a real rehabilitation of the Boston & Maine and New Haven roads, as, if successful, it would mean a return of -the millions to put the roads on their feet."

The mayor, lie said, didn't know whether to give . the permit at that time or not, and : told him that there had been much complaint about .the stench. The mayor promised to let him know latei, , and eventually he thought, the per mit was given, although It had never personally come to him. F. P.

Last Thursday when the debate lagged and the vice president, anxious to hasten matters, put tha question and said the pending question was on the bill as amended by the committee. Senator Norris, who had been waiting long for that moment, obtained recog nition and promptly offered his pend ing amendment as a substitute. So it happened that when the debate shall end and the time for voting begins. the Norris amendment and hot the Simmons declaration, will be first to come before tho senate.
