| BERNETT RENAMED BY HOLCOMB FOR -~ HIGHWAY OFFICE (Continued from First Page.) department was passed by the senate and sent at once to the house. Holcomb Nominates Bennett. Governor Marcus H. Holecomb took the by surprise at the open- ing of the session when he sent in the name of Charles J. Bennett to be highway commissioner to suc- ceed himself, for four years from uly 1, 1915. The nomination was referred to the committee on exec- utive nominations, as was also a {Ommunication from Governor Hol- comb to the effect that Simeon Pease had resigned as county commissioner pf Fairficld county Senator Thomas Malloy roduced quartet of resolutions relating to inmates of a hospital for the insane, one raising the price for kkeeping | Pauper to $3.75 a week, another re- Barding the method of discharging inmates, another regulating the meth- 0d of commitment and a fourth ap- bropriating $100,000 to erect a build- ing at Connecticut Hospital for the Insane for treatment of acute cases '0f insanity. senate Batch of New Business. Senator Hewitt offered a batch of new business as follows: Providing for exemption of tfarmers and em._ Dloyers of less than five from work- fen’s compensation act. Providing lor taxation of national banks, for avings depositcrs, making the same | lax as on deposits in savings banks. Providing that state banks and trust | campani a capt, not later than | §1X months’ drasis by customers, such drafts not to excecd half the bank’s| capital and surplus, thus giving equal privileges with national hanks.

Burke of Deep River, inhibiting all but law- yers was also introduced and resolu- tion concerning marriage licenses, | eliminating days’ notice for securing license. Measures in House. A proposed constitutional amend- ment to prohibit the manufacture, compounding or sale of alcoholic liquors in Connecticut was offered in the house today by Mr. Rogers of Litchfield. The wording of the amendment is identical except that the world ‘‘alcoholic” replaces that of ‘“intoxicating,” with that in the amendment proposed In the legislature in 1887 and passed along to the 1889 session which referred it to the peo- ple. The amendment was lost 49,- 874 persons voting against it, for it and 81,625 electors not voting. The 1889 session at first refused to send the amendment to the people, but Massachusetts voted down a sim- jlar amendment and the Connecticut legislature reconsidered its action and sent the amendment to the people. A resolution to compensate Sal- vatore Rania of New Haven in the sum of $5,000 for unjust incarceration in state prison also introduced in the house reveals a pathetic story. Rania, who could not speak English at the time was arrested in Stamford, in Oc- tober, 1909 on the charge of assault with intent to Kkill a man in Green- wich. Rania was convicted of the assault after trial at Bridgeport, and was sentenced to Wethersfield for ten yvears. He was placed on parole after serving three and half yea the real assailant being found in Cal. ifornia, and making confession. It is said that Rania was innccent and knew nothing of the affair. While in prison his wife and two children died leaving him alone. It is said that he has had a hard struggle to get along since his discharge from prison. Labor Measure. Mr. Taylor of Danbury in concerning seizure by legal of the property of members of vol- untary associations, proposes legisla- tion to meet conditions' resulting from the Danbury hatters’ decision. Mr. Gorman offered bills to provide for regulation of trades unions and trade disputes; and to compel em- ployers who have labor troubles and advertise for help to see forth the labor conditions in their advertise~ New a bill process | ments. A bridge bill by Mr. Sherwood ot Westport would apportion equally the expense of construction and main- tenance of bridges on state trunk highways between the state and town, but where the bridge is crossed by = tracks the railway company shall share in the expense. Upon request Mr. Russell of Mid- dletown offered a number of bilis dealing with employment of women and children. In these one would pro- hibit the public performance of a child under sixteen in any entertain- ment, sport or vocation. Causes Laughter in House.
