Appointment of a committee to in- I vestigate feasibility of establishing a reformatory for women in connec- tion with the school for girls at Mid- dletown. i Investigation by committee, of con- dition of county jalls in the state, the committee to report to the Gen- eral Assembly of 19189. Remodel state board of health to ' increase its efficiency. Establish office of commissioner of | agriculture to include duties now per: formed jn offices of commissioner of ., domestic. animals, dairy and food com- isioner, statasoraltESYbZisAnd Atate | board of agriculture. Enactmer? of stricter motor vehicle laws, d Economy in appropriations and management of state affairs because of ‘high cost of government. The Message: Gov. Holcomb’s message was as fol- lows: o “Mr. President and Gentlemen of the General Assembly: “No other general assembly . has been confronted with such world conditions as exist today, and none | other has been required to meet greater responsibilities than you may be required to meet. “The United States has been ex- empt from active participation in the struggle which involves most of' the nations of the world and includes our neighbors in Canada, but we have had complications which resulted in mobilizing our National Guard and calling them intb service to protect our states bordering’ on Mexico from invasion. “We are justly proud of the record for efficiency made by the several units of the Connecticut National Guard, and are devoutly thankful that they have been returned to their. homes without greater sacrifice than was necessarily caused by a pro- longed, enforced absence from busi- ness and home relations.~ ““While we earnestly desire too keep out of war yet our immunity is not assured, and I recommend’ the plac- ing upon its passage an amendment to our constitution, under which, in event of a fiture war requiring this state to provide trooops, the electors among them' may be permitted to participate in our elections without the necessity of calling a special ses- sion: of the general assembly to pass enabling legislation. State Finances. “Two years ago in my inaugural message, I' discussed at length the finances of the state and made a num- ber of recommendations to the gen- eral assembly which, in my opinion, i adopted, would provide sufficient annual income to meet the fixed charges, pay a certain *amount to- wards the reduction of the state’s indebtedness, and would also pro- vide for some permanent improve- ments. I am pleased to state that the general assembly of 1915 em- bodied into statutes practically all of the recommendations relative to state finances. “The result is that the new revenue | laws have changed the condition of the state treasury from one of a continually increasing deficit to one of a surplus which is apparently suf- ficient at present to meet the reason- able fixed charges and to provide for a substantial payment each year to reduce the state’s indebtedness. In confirmaticn of ‘this statement I ap- > Dend a statement of the finances of the state for each fiscal year for the last ten years (excluding bonds and | loans from the items of expenditures | and receipts.) ; “It will'be noted however that the funded debt has been decreased only | $64,000, the reason being that the own s of the funded debt bonds will | not surrender them without receiving e i (Continued on Fifth Page.) SMALL HOME FIRED BY ELECTRIC WIRES Physician Tells Jury How Cottage of Boston Broker, Held for Mur- der, Was Destroyed. Ossipe, Jan. 3.—The state today continued the work of gathering the lose threads of circumstantial evi- dence by which it seeks to connect Frederick Small with the murder of his wife, Florence A. Small, and with the fire which destroyed his home and most of the evidence of the crime. There were indications that its di- rection was nearing completion. Dr. Bartley Carleton testified -that some of the wires which he found in the cellar of .the Small cottage led under the coal pile, The prosecution had announced that it would attempt to ‘show that the fire was set some hours after Small left for Boston, by an electrical or candle light contriv- ance. Dr. Carleton first identified the body found in the ruins as that of Mrs. Small. and later removed from the neck the cord which, according to expert testimony, caused death. He showed the jury how the noose was formed before the cord was cut, and testified that the square knot which secured it was placed exactly at the back of the neck. The jurors were told again by the witness of the task of cloth, almost consumed by the fire, which covered tle face. Dr. Carleton testified that notwith- standing close search of the ruins after Small had stated they con- tained $6,000 worth of jewelry which any one might have, only a few pieces were found.

ESTABLISHED KLETT CHOSEN FOR “LEADER IN SENATE Important Appointments Fall to Healy Elected Speaker of House Over Geary by Vote of 179 to 57—Lyman Chosen President Pro Tem of Upper Bypanch. Hartford, Jan, 3.—The legislature of the state resumed its functions to- day with the opening of the 1917 session of the General Assembly. In both branches organization was car- ried out in accordance with the will GEORGE W. KLETT, of the republican majority as ' ex- pressed in the party caucuses of last i night. Senator Henry H. Lyman of Middlefield was chosen president pro tem for the senate and John Buckley of Unionville, clerk. The -appoint- ment of Rev. Dr. William' G. Fennell, pastor of the Asylum Avenue Baptist church, Hartford, as chaplain was made by Senator Lyman and J. Fred- erick Baker of New Haven was named as-assistant clerk by Mr, Buckley. The house chose Frank E, Healy of Windsor Locks speaker, Edward *J. Kenealy of Stamford clerk and W. Arthur Countryman of Hartford, as- sistant clerk. The democratic house members gave their support to Repre- sentative John C. Geary of Waterford for speaker and the honor carries with it the position of minority leader in that branch. The lican side, which comes up at the opening of a session, appeared to be determined by announcement Senator George W. Klett of New ritain will be chairman of the judi- clary committee and senate leader, As Representative Peasley Cheshire had in hand much of the day’s business in the house, his position as floor leader and house chairman of the judiciary committee seemed assured. Moreover, he pre- sented the name of Mr. Healy to the republican caucus last night. The of and Senator Lyman will select those on the part of the senate. Senator P. B. O'Sullivan of Derby will be the democratic leader in the senate. The house was called to order by Mr, Huxford of Stamford, the senior member,‘and Rev. Mr. Smith of Mans- fleld, a member, offered praver. Rep- resentatives Ford of Stamford and Backus of Thompson were made tem- porary clerks. Deputy Secretary of State R. J. Dwyer, who had just been reappointed as the first official action of TFrederick L. Perry, the new secre- tary of state, read the roll call Burnes Gives Oath in Senate. The senate was opened by retiring prayer by Rev. Dr. Fennell, called the roll and administered the The absentees were Jorn Hurley Waterbury and F. A. Bartlett Bridgeport. After the senators had taken their i oath Mr. Lyman was chosen president pro tem, the democrats giving Senator ‘O’Sullivan 9 notes. For clerk, John Buckley had 24 votes .and Joseph E. Dutton, mayor of Bristol, the democratic candidate 9. { The senate rules were adopted, after Senator Lyman had told Senator Kop- pleman that he was unable to say whether or not the minority would be given proportionate representation in the committee. The governor sent in a notice of his recess appointments. The joint rules adoption on the part of the sen- ate.

Washington, Jan. 3.—American members of the joint American-Mexi- can commission went to work today on their response to the last com- munication of General Carranza, who, it is now admitted officially refused to approve the protocol signed by the commission members at Atlantic City for withdrawal of American troops from Mexico and co-operative border patrol. A number of circumstances lead to the belief that the commission may abandon its attempts to compose the | iInternational difficulties and that Henry P. Fletcher may be sent soon to the post of ambassador to Mexico for which he was confirmed nearly a vear ago. The text of the protocol was published today for the first time. There were furthr insistent reports, lacking official confirmation, that the administration is seriously consider- back to American soil to’ be distribut- ed along the border for military rea- sons, regardless of Carranza’s attitude. Elisea’ Arredondo, Mexican ambas- sador designate, announced late yes- terday he had been called to Mexico City by General Carranza for a con- ference but that he would return to his duties here in about three weeks. Carranza Buying Arms in Japan. Tokio, Jan. 3.—It is reported that Col. Carpio and two other represen- tatives of Gen, Carranza are now in Japan with the object of purchasing ammunition, rifles, artillery and a steamship. They are said to have been negotiating for the 3,000 ton vessel Kolchiramaru, which recently was chartered by the newly formed Kwatsuda shipping company. i The Kothiramaru cleared from Yokohoma yesterday with Salina Cruz, Mexico, as her destination. The manifest lists here give her cargo as genera] merchandise and machinery. An unconfirmed report is current that the steamer carries 2,500 rifles pur- chased from various Japanese brokers | from sfock discarded as unsuitable by representatives of the Entente ‘POWers. Calls Situation Grave. Querataro, Jan. 3.—Felix Palava- cini, former secretary of public in- | stitutions, who has spoken for General Carranza, declared before the consti- tutional assembly late last night that the international situation was grave. Gen. Carranza, sald the speaker, had refused to resume conferences , With the United States representatives until the American troops were with- drawn unconditionally. He declared that the assembly must rush work on the constitution and proclaim the rights of the people, which Gen. Car- ranza and the constitutional forces were battling against a dangerous | enemy, to save the national honor and | integrity.

Berlin, Jan. 2, via London, Jan. 3, 7:30 a. m.—United States Ambassador Gerard took advantage of a New Year’s call yesterday to discuss the Bntente answer to Germany’s peace proposal with Chancellor Von Beth- mann-Hollweg. The ambassador is believed to have learned what possi- bility there is of Germany acting fa- vorably on a renewed request for con- ditions of peace should the United States make such a move. Debate on Endorsement of Note. Washington, Jan. 3.—Debate was question whether endorsement should be given to President Wilson’s action in dispatching a note to the belliger- ents suggesting a discussion of peace terms by them, as proposed in Sen- ator Hitchcock’s resolution. Action had been postponed until today owing to opposition from republican sen- ators, “who contended that it should be referred to foreign relations com- mittee for carefu] consideration. They were expected to insist upon thorough debate in case Senator Hitchcock per- sists in his demand for a vote with- out reference to a committee. | [ Lodge Attacks Bernstorff. During the senate debate Senator Lodge attacked German ambassador, Count Bernstorff, for giving out a newspaper statement publicly approv- ing the note. “It is hardly to be wondered at, with such a statement as that from the German ambassador,” said Senator Lodge, “that there should be general misinterpretation of the note’s general beace upon the terms she desires to impose.” Action on Senator Hitchcock’s reso- lutton to have ' the senate endorse President Wilson’s peace note was again deferred today after a - long debate. 7 i\ Senator Hitchcock carefully avoided reference to these portions of the President’s note which might provoke controversy. “I realize there may be two opin- ions as to some of the president’s suggestions, but I do not see how there can be two opinions on a simple proposition that in the interest of humanity and civilization this coun- try has appealed to nations at war to state terms upon which peace might be made.” Senator Hitchcock said there was recent precedent for the president’s action, and referred to former Presi- dent Roosevelt's peace overtures to end the Russo-Japanese war. “If it was important for ‘humanity and civilization’ that Russia and Japan state their terms,” said Sena- tor Hitchcock, “how much more im- pertant for humanity and civilization to seek the end of the present war? How .much greater at the present time when all civilization is in danger and | when the existence of neutral nations | is becoming difficult and at most im- possible? “The senate is charged with great responsibility. It is the one great executive body in the world charged with the right to speak on interna- tional affairs with the president. I sincerely hope the resolution will have the support of this great body.” Hoke Smith Enters Debate. Senator Hoke Smith, democrat, also urged immediate consideration of there solution. “It only approves and strongly en- dorses the president's action in send- ing the note asking that' terms be stated by the Dbelligerents,”” said he. “There can be no step toward peace without such a statement from either side. ‘““Neutral nations have the right to express themselves. “Our rights have been disregarded. | We have protested, but we have not | contemplated!becoming a party to the | war, I feel sure.” Senator Borah, republican, inter- rupted to say that Germany has re- plied to the president’s note and the allies’ reply is probably on the way. “What possible good can be accom- plished by the senate’s resolution?” he asked. “It would be an expression by the senate of the United States of an earnest desire that negotiations for peace continue and that peace be brought about,” replies Senator Smith. “The president's note,” said Senator Borah, ‘“distinctly states that it is not a proposal of peace er an offer of mediation but simply a request for terms.

RO AT POINT OF A REVOLY HEART TROUBLE KILLS OFFICER W. F. GRACE Policeman Dies Early Morning, Following Two Days of Grip. in Policeman Willlam F. Grace, one of the best known members of the New Britain department and universally popular, died suddenly shortly after 7 o’clock this morning of neart disease at his home at 260 Washington street. An attack of grip and threatened pneumonia aggravated the heart trouble. Practically no warning was given and death was wholly unexpect- ed, even by members of his immediate family, as his condition was not con- sidered to be serious. He was appar- ently in an improved condition this morning when he awoke. He talked with his wife for a few minutes, said that he would take another nap and was seized with the fatal attack as he was about to turn over in bed. Emer- gency calls for medical aid were sent out but death was practically instan- taneous. Dr. Harry A. Elcock, medi- cal examiner, viewed the body and gave heart disease as the cause of death. Mrs. Grace was prostrated. “Bill” Grace, as he was affection- ately known in the department and to hundreds, was on duty Monday night patrolling a Maiy street beat al- though suffering fronl an attack of grip. He grew worse and had to re- port off duty during the early eve- ning. Since then he had been under medical attendance and confined to his bed. He was borm in New Britain thirty- seven years ago, son of the late Thom- as Grace, and had lived in this city all of his life. His education was gained in St. Mary's parochtal schools. ' Fol- lowing graduation he learned the brickiaying trade, following it with success untfl he was appointed a reg- ulaf yélidemdn-June 1, 1911, ‘' For more than ten years previously he was & supernumerary.

Crean, Mrs. Agnes Janelle and Mra. John McCue, and four brothers, Cap- tain Thomas W. Grace of the police department, Peter J., Robert J., and James W. Grace, all of this city, The news came as a great shock to Captain Grace both because of its unexpectedness and the manner in which he was informed. He was be- hind the desk at headquarters, acting chief during the illness of Chief Wil- liam J. Rawlings, just before court when a boy rushed into headquarters and shouted “Bill Grace is dead.” For several minutes the captain was un- able to speak or reallze the import of the message. Even then he could hardly believe it as there had been no warning given of the near approach of the grim reaper. DEGENERATE BLAMED FOR SLAYING MODEL : , Captain of Philadelphia Police Says Evidence Tends to Substantinte This Theery. Philadelphia, Jan. 3.—Detectives assigned to unravel the tangle clues that have been advanced in the effort to find out who murdered Maisie A. Colbert in her apartment here last week were busy today ex- ofs amining many who were acquainted with the young woman. Despite the statements of the cap- tain of the city detectives that in his belief the former manicurist was beaten and strangled by a degenerate, there are persistent unconfirmed re- ports that a wealthy young man from upstate had not yet been entirely cleared of suspicion of knowing some- thing about the murder, Captain of Detectives Tate, however, sald the young man in question, who was an admirer of Miss Colbert and was gen- erous with presents of jewelry and money, had given a satisfactory ac- count of his whereabouts last Friday, the day the murder is belleved to have occurreds Questioned regarding his that a degenerate had killed Colbert, Captam Tate answered: “That theory still looks like the best of all.” Captain Tate said the woman had been hit on the head, apparently, as she tried to raise a window in her living room to shout for help. The window sill is stained with biood. The man's shirt found in the bed- room was blood-soaked on the right side; as if the wearer had carried the woman. There is other evidence to bear out the theory that the woman was assaulted, Captain Tate gaid. theory Miss 1 a hallw: Walter Feshler of Street Holds at Bay But Is Shot With Rifi WAGNER RISKS TO STOP SLAUG Sends Bullet Through Hand sane Man, Who Is Captu Severe .Strngglo—nelle\'d Brooded Over Fancied Sligl Wo Showed Signs of Dementi Foreman and Fellow Seized with homicidal maj result, it is kelieved, of broed fancied slights from his fo: fellow workinen, Walter Fes is supposed to live at 320 Mal threw employes of the Corbl Division of the Amgericen H Corporation into a panic thi noon, drove more than 200 from the fifth floor of the cast of High street into anet at the point of a fully losded ber revolver and held off 7] police for nearly half 3 Threatening to use five of & Jacketed bullets on the g police and the sixth upon held his would-be captors tance until a ,.22 bullet through his right hand fre in the hands of Policeman H Wagner.
