Hartford, March 25.—The bill of in- grease the membership of the gover- nor's military staff by detailing four line officers of the national guard to the appointive staff, adopted by the senate yvesterday, after a long dis- cussion, was reconsidered today and finally indefinitely postponed 21 to 8. The matter came up quite suddenly when Senator Barnes moved that the senate reconsider its vote on the bill. It being so voted, . Senator Isbeil ®ated that it had developed since yesterday that the bill was not in- tended to be military in ter but was one of political signifi- cance. He said the measur was radically wrong, he had discovered, as it allowed a junior officer to take superior rank to a senior officer, if chosen as a member of the staff, under the bill. | Senator Purcell took issue with Senator Isbell and said that it would not create any confusion nor would it create any friction between the | officers, and he pointed out that mem- bers of the staff, from the guard, would be able to point the way to the others as to proper procedure. Sen- ator Purcell moved that the motion to reconsider be tabled, but it was overwhelmingly voted down. p Isbell Oppooses Bill, Senator Isbell said he was opposed | to the bill, but would favor recom- mitment to the committee 8‘1\1 sen- ator Hewitt moved recommitment Senator Purcell said he saw nothing to be gained by that move as there | was no way in which to compromise on the matter. He sald the best me- measure | now or adopt it. Several other sen- | ators spoke and finally Senator Isbell | moved indefinite postponement which | was carried 21 to'8, the flve demo- crats being supported by Senators Whiton, Comley and Bishop, republ(-, cans. The committee on education re- pgrted unfavorably the teachers pen- sion Dbill. Senator Tuttle took occa- sion to criticise the measure saying that when it was first introduced it referred to school teachers, but now it included superintendents, principals and inspectors, persons who have three thousand dollar salaries and up- wards, a year, and-who are seeking | to retire on a salary larger than that now earned by the average working- Than. The bill was rejected.

The bill providing for an ‘increase of $1 per horse power of automobiles ‘was withdrawn, | ‘Witha ‘voice raised in its behalf ana | after explanation by Mr. King of Fairfield that it was Judge Perry's| #heasure, the house rejected in con- currence the direct primaries bill. | An excise bill reported favorably | provides that in case of death or holder of a license the administrator may continue ‘the business for 30 days pending probating of the estate. Adverse Reports in House. Among adverse reports in the house | “Were those on proposed constitutional | amendments limiting the house mem- | bership to one representative trom1 each town, and to strike the waord ‘imale” from the constitution. This | latter amendment is not the one on Wwhich the suffragists made their fight, The senate confirmed Justin B. Holman of Old Saybrook and E. Kent Hubbard, Jr., of Middletown, as mem- | .apers of the state board of charities. The roads, rivers and brides com- mittee which had accumulated nu- merous bills reported fully a score of them adversely. It was explained thar many of the subjects would be cov- ered in substitute bridge, automobile, | trunk highways, lights on vehicles and Lighway maintenance bills to be re- ported later. & Among the adverse reports those on bills to require lights on bicy- cles and to discontinue Ienwick Bridge in Old Saybrook as a public highway. The Stratford court bill passed yes- was reconsideréd, amended to ver the matter of appeals, and then -passed by the house. Favorable Reports in House. Among the favorable reports in the v re house were those on bills deeming a | motor boat to be a nuisance if the en- zine noise is not effectively muffied, “ind making the penalty for the nuis- ance not less than $5 nor more than $25; providing an increasec penaity for violating the law which prohibits unlawful adyertising on private prop- | arty and highways; requiring that In | claims to be made agalnst the state to | be heard by the general assembly, a statement of facts must be filed witih the attorney general within sixty days after the occurrence; for maintenance of a bridge over Salmon river between Chatham and Colchester, amending the stock transfer law by providing that the stock may be pledged by de- livery of the certificates with power of an attorney; extending the time of grganizing the Terryville Gas! com- pany; making the time for completing its charac- | | Entoute | mobile yesterday Montvia were i the personal tax list conform with the time for making up other tax | lists. Prohibit Fortune Telling. The house passed the bill which prohibits the advertising of fortune telling, clairvoyancy or kindred arts, having amended it however, so that it excludes palmists. When the bill was reached on the calendar, Mr. Martin of Orange asked that it go over, as he wished to debate it, being of the opinion that it would return to the statutes many of the old features of the law on witheraft, which were done away With a hundred years ago. Mr. Hyde, the majority leader, object- ed to postponement, especially as to- | morrow being Friday, a quorum was ssured. s motion to postpone was { lost and debate was opened during L.which Mr. Martin pointed out that it was ridiculous to claim that the read- ing of palms was a misdemeanor. Mr. | ¥enn of Wethersfield declared that there were many terms in the bill that }lh(‘ judiciary commrittee itself could | not explain. This led the speaker to Mr. Hyde to explain to the house what was meant by the term “spirits.~ Mr. Hyde replied that last night | he could have given a better definition. | A hearty laugh followed this and it ! was revealed that a number of mem- bers of the legislature were guests | | at a dinner party last night. Mr. Back | of Killingly said that Mr. Martin was trying to throw dust in the eyes of the members. The bill was not intended to stop palm reading, but was intended to meet | an evil which has been cloaked by advertisements in papers. It had be- come a practice in some places for keepers of houses of ill repute to ad- vertise these as card parlors or places for seances. Massachusetts had leg- islated against the evil and he believed Connecticut should do the same. Af- ter further debate Mr. Martin's amend- ment excluding palmists from the bill was adopted and the bill as amendegd passed. The senate received a favorable re- port providing that no more than three executive officers or any savings bank shall be officer of any one bank of discount or circulation, and no treas. urer or any savings bank having de- | posits of over $500,000 shall be cashier | of any bank of discount ar circula- | tion. Unfavorable reports were made on bills increasing the fine for violat- | ing the provisions of the autamobile registration law, and authorizing the commissioners of rivers, harbors and hridge_s to make payment from their appropriation for certain highway ! changes in New London, forming an | approach to the steamship terminals. | Bond Bill Tabled. The bill authorizing the county of Fairfleld to issue bonds of $273,000 for an addition to the court hous in Bridgeport was taken up and Sen- ator Comley ‘tried to amend it to exempt the bonds from taxation. Sen- ator Wadhams of the finance commijt- tee was opposed to exemption on the | ground that the committee had op- posed such exemptions in all other in- ‘stances. After a lengthy discussion the bill was tabled on the request of Senator Cheney. MONTVID IS CALM IN HARTFORD JAIL Is. Kept Apart From the Other Prisoners and Iz Ciosely Guarded, Bernard Montvid, the murderer of Rev.

What took place there is not known , but it is understood that he was given | & hara grilllng. It apparently had no effect on him however, for Detec- | tive Bamforth stated that he did not | appear to be frightened or to lose any of his self possesion. This is | borne out by the fact that he went 1 1igt to sleep upon being lodged in | the cell here. | Today, Detective Bamforth, in re- | marking about the case, said he felt very thankful fhat nobody had been | killed in connection witn this case. He referred, it is belleved, to the fact that in this city two local sleuths are | +aid to have met Krakas on the street and talked to him, at the time being in | 1gnorance that he was the murderer. | Had they made any attempt to place him in custody he would have shot | them dead, it is thought.

York, March 25.—Miss Ras Tanzer, who filed a $50,000 damage suit against James W, Osborne, for- mer assistant district attorney of New York, for alledged breacn of promise to marry, was held today for the ac- tion of the grand jury on the charge of using the mails to defraud, United States Commissioner Hough- ton announced that he would hold Miss Tanzer for the grand jury at the termination of her examination to- day. The bond of $5,000, under which she had been at liberty since the charge was preferred by Mr. Os- borne several days ago, was con- tinued, and her bondsman renewed the bond. New Burst Into Tears, Miss Tanzer burst into tears when the commissioner announced his de- cision, She was joined by her three sistars, Rose, Dora and Ruth. The sobs of the women were audible throughout the crowded room. David Slade, her lawyer, attempted to cheer her by patting her on' the back. She was not to be comforted, how- ever, and had her cry out in the court room. The intimation that the government would investigate the law firm of Slade and Slade, attorneys for the young woman, was contained in the argument of David Slade. Mr. Slade said he had heard that the United States district attorney’s office was in- vestigating his firm and might take action against it because of certain features of the case. Sufficient. Evidence Produced. Commissioner Houghton prefaced his decision with a statement review- ing the testimony and referring tb cach ‘witness, Only Solomon, he said; could thoroughly understand the case, but he thought that the gov- ernment had produced sufficient evi- dence to warrant his ordering the de- fendant held. Only one witness, the commissioner said, had been strictly neutral.” This was Mr. Kitchen, proprietor of the Kensington hotel at Plainfield. Mr. Kitchen contradicted the testimony of Osborne as the man who had registered last October at the hotel with Mis: Tanzer as Oliver Osborne and wife. Glasses Important Feature. _Particular stress wak placed ofi‘the fact thatidames W. Qsborne glassedrandli*Oliver Osborné aid 'not, according to the testimony. This was one of the most features of the testimony, r Hough- ton said. As to the contention of Miss zer lawyer that nothing had been adduced to show that Miss Tanzer had impor Commi | written letters upon which the charge based, Commissioner said that Miss Tanzer's writing on the bail bond and that in which the letters were written was identical, and that there was evidence that the let- ters had passed through the mai The case now goes to the g jury. The one witness whose expectation was reserved by the government “for today was Post Office Inspector Swayne. Mr. Swayne testified that he was in the court room yesterday and noted the entrance of F.

Exchanged Whispers. the witness for some little time and exchanged whispers, the witness con- tinued., After this David Slade, of Miss Tanzer's counsel, engaged in a whispered conversation with the tall man. Then Safford went on the stand and positively identifled James ‘W. Osborne as the man who had reg- istered at the hotel. As soon asg Safford finished testify- ing, Mr. Swayne continued, he left the room and the building with the tall man. Mr. Swayne said he had called the attention of United States District Attorney Marshall and other ' post office inspectors to the incidents he had related. He did not know who the tall man was. At the conclusion of Mr. Swayne's testimony, counsel for Miss Tanzer made a motion to have the caargr against his ellent dismissed. One of the grounds of his contention was that there had been nothing adduce:l to show that Miss Tanzer had written the letters upon which the charge is based. i GILL DISAPPEARED.

Blocked By Germany. London, March 25, 4:45 p. m.—The Evening Chronicle published a des- patch from Bucharest, Rumania, to the effect that the Turkish govern- ment recently decided to surrender Constantinople and the Dardanelles to the attacking fleet. The surrender was all but arranged, the Chronicle says, when at the last moment it was blocked by Germany. that its of in Key to Situation. March 25, 11:30 a. m.,, via London, 10 p. m.—The fortress of Ossowetz, where the Ger- man bombardment continues, remains today the key to the situation on the German front. according to the best opinion of Russian observers. Both to the north and to the south of this point, in the Augustowo and the Omoleff regions, respectively, the Ger- mans are developing Hvely attacks to prevent the Russians from encircling the Ossowetz fortress or from occupy- ing the town of Szczuczyn. This loca- tion is directly behind Ossowetz on the east Prussian frontier, and its oc- cupation by the Russians would ob- viously compel the Germans to aban- don the siege.
