Klett of city, justly called the legislative mo- tor, is given considerable. prominence in the Bridgeport Post of Monday's issue. These words of commendation and recognition, coming as they do from a democratic newspaper are unusually commendatory. The ar- ticle is herewith printed: Do you want to know of the hu- man motor power at Hartford during the present session of the generai assembly? Then listen to the tale of the man who is primarily responsible . for ft all, George W. Klett, senator from the sixth, or New. Britain dis- trict, and chairman of the judiciary ' committee. Senator Kiett is° a driver, sure enoug! He started out to make the pace in January, an unheard of pro- cedure at that, and before the last #ay for new business. Not for a min- ute since has he let up in his spring | crive and today he has the satisfac- tion of knowing that, so far as com- mittee work is considered, the_gen- | eral assembly of 1917'is a month ahead of that rapid one of 1915, and weeks and weeks ahead of other bodies of the past, of lingering mem- ory, with the accent on the lingering. When you figure that the judiciary committee was holding hearings in July and the curtain was not, rung dowq on business until in August or September. Not An Easy Job. It is not amn easy job this position of judiclary committee chairman. Yet it is admitted by all that Senator Klett has mastered its difficulties to a notable degree and so far has come through with mighty ' few mistakes and mq rong credit marks. When the 'k of the committee is re- | viewed 11 bo found how steadily i he has’ affairs, within thce light giveR™him, for the best interests lof the , to say nothing of his party. It is admitted by members of tho judiciary = committee that Senator Kiett has been tactful in directinyg committee deliberations. There have been some sharp controversies, but no one finds evidence of serious dis- pleasure left over the decisions. And there are some contrary souls on that body, mind you. Doing State’s Business. Through an intensely business sea- sion to date, Senator Klett has kept utmost the idea that they were there to transact the state’s) business as expeditiously as possible, and td> enact only such laws as were ' mani- festly for- the general public good, keeping such action do‘n to the low- est minimum possible. So it comes about that the commit- tee. emters the last. week in.. March with hearings finished and with de- cisions made on about every import- ant proposition to be reported back. From now on Senator Klett'will de- vote his energies, and they are tre- mendous, to hurrying' the work ifi hand to & conclusion, so that all rec- ords for a:short session -may be broken, with the possibility of get- ting through not later than the first week in May, perhaps earlier. It miist not be forgotten that this condition of affair has been brought shout only by long hours of overtime labor. Working in committee often to eleven at night. Senator Klett would then be up early in the morn- ing to be at the City court of New ‘Britain to perform his duties as pros- ecutor. A Full Day's Work. After these dally duties Senator Klett dashed over to Hartford in his machine to be in time to prepare for the day’'s work at the capital. This would commence about 10 o’clock and would often last, imcluding commit- tee sittings, well on towards midnight. All this time it was necessary to keep In touch with the business iIn hand, to watch the passage of bills and to keep In general acquaintance with every proposition likely to come w pu s no easy job to be senate chair- BEI.LANS Absolutely Remuvu diMon.Ou 21.!.

Cther men of high standing have had held the position and felt the effects || for mqnths after of the arduous de- mands imposed by it,- Senator Klett seems to revel in it.

CITY CHARTER HELD UP Clause Referring to Unlimited Juris- diction of City Court is What is Pre- venting Amendments From Passing. The legislative committee on cities and boroughs have not yet reported on the New Britain -charter changes, ! but are expected to do so this week. | Senate Leader Klett is endeavoring ito have all reports in this week and indications are that he will succeed. A prominent member of the cities and boroughs committee stated today that the only thing which is now hold- ing up the New Britain charter amendments is the clause referring to the city court. There has arisen | some opposition- to giving the court | unlimited jurisdiction. The _opposi- j tion is said to be based on the ground { that certain committee membess da Inot think the city court should have unlimited jurisdiction in civil suits preferred by a person who is a non- resident of New 'Britain. Senator Kleft vesterday named a nominating committee, consisting of Senator C. L, Spencer of Suffield, Rep- resentative J. H. Glasson of Bristol and Representative Richard Covert of this city, to name a committee of five legislators to confer with the county attorney and to report in two weeks on some program for a new county Jail. this !

The body of the man killed by an automobile on the Beech Swamp ro: in Berlin Monday night remains at the morgue of B. C. Porter Sons un- identified. Not only unidentified, but no one has called to make inquiries. Unless identification is made, the body will probably be taken to the vault at Fairview cemetery tomor- row, to be held for a time and then buried in a pauper’s grave. While going through his clothing last night, $2.50 additional was found secreted in one of the pockets of his vest. The authorities have, thus far, been unable to trace the automobile suspected of causing death. FAREWELL TO HADLIDAYS. Mr. and Mrs. Waiter L.

HALLINAN'S CASH STORE 142 MAIN STREET LOGAL MAN MAKES DRUG DISCOVERY E. E. Stegemann to Work Ichthyol Deposit in Texas An announcement that is liable to have a far reaching influence upon the drug trade of the United States and is also a possible medium of the partial reformation of the production of dyestuffs was made today when Eugene E. Stegemann, at present of Maple street, this city, stated that he had discovered a process whereby the drug ichthyol may be extracted from deposits in this country and that numerous by-products in the form of synthetic oils would probably be available. Mr. Stegemann will short- 1y take charge of a labratory at the scene of a large deposit as a company of New York capitalists has already been formed and plans are rapidly congealing so that the production of the drug in quantities will soon be an established part of American indus- tries. 3 Mr. Stegemann has been working in this city under the fostership of the Dickinson Drug company and it is in Néw Britain that the important dis- covery was made that through a pro- cess of polarization ichthyol could be produced from deposits in the United States. Heretofore there has been but one deposit known and that is in the Tyrolean Alps, near Seefeld, Aus- tria. It is .probable that the local drug concern will take in a scheme for the distribution of the product although plans are not com- plete for this venture. Ichthyol contains a large percentage of sulphur in its composition which prevents the advantage of being readi- 1y soluble or in fact already in solu- tion. It is to this state that the great healing powers of the drug are at- tributed. The drug is used in several modifications for any disease in which the breaking down of tissue matter is prevalent. Tuberculosis and skin diseases are good examples. One of the products of the manufacturing company will be a remedy for rhini- tis or cold in the head) which is to be known as lanol. The deposits which are in Texas are veins of small animal and Vvegetable matter which have reached a semi- petrified state. The minute animals years ago were entrapped by some natural cause, and the proper at- mospheric conditions being present, today yields oils which have a large percentage of sulphur. ‘In the Texan deposit there will be ten per cent. of sulphur in the finished product. The sulphur that was in the bodies of the animals thousands of years ago will be released with some of the ofl of their bodies and will be used to build up the bodies of humans of to- day. Thus millions of animals were entrapped by nature and held in re- serve for thousands of years for the benefit of the human who succeeded in unlocking the secret of their bene- fit. Mr. Stegemann has the honor of being that human. The chemist's experiments have naturally been with the object of ex- tracting the ichthyol first. He has already obtained several by-products in the shape of oils of different de- scriptions and as his experiments progress will undoubtedly obtain more. From the rough analysis of the raw by-produts it has been ascer- tained that synthetic oils may be ob- tained and it is very probably. that a production of dye stuffs for which the United States has been clamoring will be another result of his experi- ments. .

OUR KIND Anerim Bngade for France _ Now Under Consxdemuon ‘Washington, March 28.—The war party in the president’s cabinet, sup- ported by several leading members of the senate—republicans as well as democrats—will be successtul, it is be- Heved, in dispatching a small army to France soon after congress meets. Its appearance side by side with the French and British troops—even if no more than a brigade, which is the present plan—would probably have a tremendous moral effect. ‘Willlam G. McAdoo, secrétary of the treasury and son-in-law of the president, is an enthusiastic advocate of this idea, ‘which has suddenly taken hold of the imagination. The slogan is, “Return Rochambeau’s visit.” Opposition developed mainly in two quarters. - Army opinion is impervious to the sentimental value of an imme- diate expedition. It holds that a hand- ful of American regulars could have no appreciable military effect. The mem- bers of the general staff and many 1ine officers are opposed to sending an army abroad, even after a formal dec- laration of war, for.a long time. They believe that a premature mévement of troops would expose the weaknesses of the war department. They are not at all anxious to be exposed to the ruthless limelight of war and be picked to pleces by the experts of the !‘rench general staff. Seconlly, opposlflnn has developed among a group of senators who pro- fess to have special knowledge of the present sentiment of the middle and far west. They declare that such an expedition would antagonize public opinion. They say the people east of the Alleghenies are not at all in tune with the Westerners. A very . well known public man from the Middle West, a former member of the Sen- ate, here today sald that the national capital little realized how differently people felt in the Mississippl Valley. The sentiment there, he declared, even is strong for the little group of wilful men, the twelve senators who filibustered against the armed ship biiL But the members of the president's cabinet who are now openly for action against Germany—the same the way, who forced an eariier f congress—believe that they, too, know something about the sentiment of the country, They will urge sending 2 brigade’.ov ¢ regular army to Waster: Ammediately, .- S Sd Asitle OIn Ideals for Wnllm of All Russia ———d Petrograd, March 27, Via Londam. March 28.—A group of socialist demos crats has put out a declaration which, as far as can be determined, fairly represents the attitude of the ma- Jority of that party toward the.gov- ernment. The declaration, which is signed by half-a dozen locally promi-< ' nent names, favors a vigorous proses cution of the war, leaving the de- mands of the socialist dem: in abeyance until the country is- safe from the danger of a return of m monarchy. It says in K “The program of the new gov :g ment is satisfactory to a 8 extent. The present state of -the bourgeoisie and capitalistic society fir doubt - precludes the possibility . changing the present revolution im a soclalist one.. Any effort in that rection might precipitate a count revolution and bring about the » of the monarchy, “The necessary democratio co of the work of the new gove can be achieved best by particip in the temporary administ Tepresentatives of the .
