JEWELERS 54 Main St., New Britain ONGRESS 70 ADJOURN BEFORE JULY 10 eily, Preb.by Ony Comnecl Representatwe Favorimg Suffrage. (Special to the Herald.) Washington, 1. C., May 14—Con- will adjourn certainly before July in the opinion of Congressman Bonovan, following tiie action of the jouse caucus in fixing as the demo- tic program for the session the ge of the anti-trust legislation nd the appropriation bills. Mr. Don- fvan thinks there is a possibility of ven earlier adjournment. ' There is no qliestion but that the rospects of an early adjournment are easing to the members of the dem- eratic delegation in the house. They bok forward to rather strenuous cam- ns -mext: fall,.swhen all of them {1l come up for re-election. There ay be contests for the nomination nd ‘there is ‘sure to be a fight for lection; all that involves the repair- g of political fénces and the care- jul laying out and carrying out of mpalgn plans. The view here is @t none of the present members the house will have a'walk over} being returned to the holse; and Fith the dwindling of the bull moose ote in the state the republican ele- hant has loomed up ominou on e horizon of these democratic con- pssmen. Reilly Favors Suffrage. nless there is an alteration of he dentocratic caucus program—and at seems unlikely—none of the mbers will be called upon to vote thé troublesome questions of na- mal “prohibition and woman's suf- fage. Congressman Reilly is prob- bly the only member of the Con- fecticut delegation in the house who 1d vote for woman's suffrage, al- ough definite announcements have ot been made by all of the members the delegation. It is harder to precast the vote on national prohi- ition There is a strong bellef, lowever, that practically all of the lelegation believe that the question If prohibition is a local one—cer- inly a matter to be settled by the tes—and therefore not-a. proper bject for federal enactment. Sev- ral of them take the position that e wishes of the majority in the tes have been tried out and the plan working satisfactorily to the ma- prity, withbut regard to the wishes £ the radicals on either side. It is fact, too, that the Connecticut dele- tion have, almost without exception, leen strong advocates of state rights d would be.consistent in taking such position on the prohibition ques- jon.

It was during the consideration of the bill for the codi- fication of laws relating to the courts, under the five-minute rule. Congress- man Greene gecured recognition and began talking on a subject not in- volved in the bill. Mr. Donovan jumped to his feet, reminded Mr. Greene that he was usually consistent in keeping within the rules of the house and asked him to speak on the subject under con- sideration, Mr. Greene continued, however, upon the outside matter. Mr. Donovan persisted in warning Mr. Greene and finally made a point of order. In that, Mr. Donovan was sustained But Mr. Greene had not resumed long when Mr. Donovan was on his feet again, making another point of order. He was sustained again. Yet again, did Mr. Donovan object to the discussion of Mr. Greene and make a point of order. Mr. Donovan's persistence caused a ripple of amusement through the ‘house.

New York, May 14.—The board of education of Greater New York has decided to establish savings banks in the public schools of the city. “The board,” sald Vice President Greene in advocating this action at a meeting yesterday, ‘‘wants to remove the inducements to extravagance and to take care of the pennies of the pupils until the savings have reached an amount that will enable them to open individual accounts banks. ‘At present their few pennies do not enable them to do this.” of Opiates. ible to um and its various is well known..

Day and August Hein- man of this city, were delegated to attend the national convention of master plumbers to be held in At- lantic City, June 16 to 18. Governor Speaks. Governor Baldwin spoke to the as- semblage in part as follows. “Any association ‘which has lasted for twenty-four years has shown that there was a place, and a work for it to do in the world. “There was a very large field ready for the plumbers in Connecticut half a century ago, when we first began the construction .of city water works. In my boyhood, New Haven, then as now Connecticut’s largest city, was dependent for her water on wells in each separate house lot. Bath Troubles Eliminated. “My father's house was then one of the newer and larger ones In the city, but the only bath tub was sup- plied by pumping up cold water from a cistern in the back yard and lug- ging in hot water by the pailful from the kitchen boiler. It was so much trouble to get a bath that the bath tub was finally turned into an aquar- ium for my benefit. We preferred a resort to a hat-bath in each ped- room—a. big tin construction some five feet across, looking like a wom- an's hat turned upside down such as the ‘dear creatures wore, a few 'years ago, “There were several town or city meeting heled about that time, to act on the proposition to authorize a sys- tem of city water works. One of the old citizens, who used to be called doctor, although I believe he wasn't one, presided as moderator at one of these. The advocates of water works made their arguments. ‘Gen- tlemen,’ safd the chairman, ‘If I may express the opinion of the chair, we don’t want them. The chair has not taken a bath for forty years.’ Was Rough Art, “Plumbing was a rough art fiftye years ago, and even' twenty-four years ago when this association wax o1 ganizeq. I suppose that the eastern states of the United States lead the world in it now;—Ilead it in making really scientitic plumbing fixtures, in- stalled on a really sclentific plumb- ing basis; and that they lead it in the number of houses with bath tubs, and the number of bath tubs in a single house. I suppose this could be sald pre-eminently of New Englund. “The fact is that the man born in New England has got a magnificent heritage. Because its history runs back so far, because it has been so long practicing the arts of life, with intelligence, and care, and thrift, it hag become a place to live in where the public health is looked out for, and public education, and public im- provements.” Health Officer Wright was then in- troduced by the toastmaster.. Dr. Wright congratulated the assoclation on the great progress made by the trade during the past twenty-tive years. He drew attention to the ract that at that time only the very wealthy were able to afford.plumbing which every home Is now equipped with. Advocates Sanitary Commission. Past National President Fee, in speaking of conditions in general throughout the state, said that while New Haven itself is in the first rank with regard to seanitation, the sani- tary conditions in some citles | throughout the state are to the (‘ll"-[ trary. Mr. Fee ended his address by advocating a state sanitary commis- sion. FOUND DEAD. Believed Eugene Dibeauld Fractured Skull by Fall ¥ Stone Wall. Woodstock, Conn., May gene Dibeauld of Putnam was found dead. in the roadway between Wood- stck Hill and North Woodstock to- day. His skull was fractured. It is believed that in trying to climb a stone wall beside the road he fell and struck with his head on a rock. The indications ‘were that the body had lain there the greater part of the night. He was about forty years old and unmarried. CLAIMS AGAINST CITY, The committee on claims, at its meeting last night. voted to give George H. Bodycoat leave to with- draw his claim of $201 against the city for injuries alleged to have been recelved through u fall on an lcy side- walk on Park street.
