NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1017. INOTOR VEHIGLE LA} ™ Firamoial FADS THROWN 0UT |One Would Permit Justices of Peace to Suspend Licenses Hartford, April 10.—The house ses- sion today was opencd with prayer by Rev. A. B. Dieffenbach, chaplain of the First Connecticut infantry. Several bills for a close season on lobsters and changing the length of lobsters to be legally caught were un- favorably reported as were various bills’ to make changes in the motor vehicle law. Included in the latter was the bill which would permit a Jjustice of the peace to suspend the license of an operator convicted be- fcre him for violation of the motor vehicle law. It was explained that changes in the motor vehicle law would come through a general bill. The governor's appointment of Daniel A. Markham to be -associate judge of the Hartford court of com- mon pleas was confirmed in concur- rence with 170 and none against. A bill was reported forbidding any corporation, unless a savings bank, state bank or trust company, from vsing as part of its trade or corporate neme either in English or a foreign language the words “bank,” banking,” “trust,” or “savings.” In the senate the agricultural com- mittee presented a bill providing that the commissioner of domestic animals may quarantine or have Kkilled any diseased animal but no quarantined animal may be killed until its value is determined. The finance committee reported a bill providing that any concern which would use billboards for advertising must get a license from the state police. The appropriations committee re- ported favorably a bill amending the compensation law whereby the ex- pense allowance of each compensa- tion commissioner is increased from $3,000 to $4,500: also appropriating $120,000 for maintenance of four normal schools but each town must furnish a training school; increasing the adjutant general's salary to $4,000 with increases to certain others in his office, and providing that the estimated expenses annually charge- able to the state on account of all trade schools approved by the board of education shall not exceed $150,000. ‘Development of the agricultural re- sources of the state as a war measure, under direction of the state, is pro- posed in a_bill offered today by Sena- tor O’Sullivan. As the bill has con- siderable scope and its provisions re- quire study, it was tabled temporarily. The measure would authorize the gov- ernor to summon the state board of agriculture and the board of trustees of the Connecticut Agricultural col- lege and the Connecticut experiment station to consider ways and means on or before April 15. Such recommend- ations if any, as shall be deemed nec- essary for the development of the farm land of Connecticut. The senate was primed for a debate on the bill which would require own- ers of moving picture houses to fur- nish a seat with every ticket sold, but as Senator Bissell, the committee chairman, was absent discussion went over until tomorrow. An unfavorable report came from the education committee to require compulsory -physical training in pub- lic schools for children over eight vears. The bill to license cats, un- favorably reported, was sent back to the committee. An amendment was offered to the bill concerning ths—=- plovment of minors in bowling alleys which prevents boys between 14 and 16 from working there unless they secure a certificate from the staff board of education showing them to be properly qualified intellectually and physically. “The bill will be taken up later for debate. Reports in the house included these increasing the salary of the superin- tendent of the state police from $3,000 to $3,500; continuing the commission on state prison for another two vears; appropriating $5,000 for a summer normal school; increasing the term of a notary to five years; permitting the governor to appoint special po- lice officers to guard water work sys- tems and to appoint deputy sheriffs to protect the property of public serv- ice corporations. ‘The house concurred with the sen- ate in adopting the public defenders bill, after a long debate, 89 to G56. A bill which the excise committee reported favorably would give drug- gists the right to sell” liqudrs on physicians prescriptions and alcohol not exceeding one quart upon pay- ment of an annual license fee of six- teen dollars, and they may sell liquors not exceeding ome gallon and alcohol 4 not exceeding five gallons upon pa ment of an annual license fee of $65.

Trading was argely professional in origin, was signs of further public liquidation was evident in some of standard or rep- resentative Issues. U. S. Steel. soon yielded over a point with 1 to 2 points for Bethlehem Steel, the prominent tals, American Can, Central Leath- er, and Sears-Roebuck, and a five- point loss for Texas company. Ship- pings and rails were inclined to hold except for a further break of almost four points in Delaware and Hudson. Liquidation broadened in the first hour but was checked later on sud- den development of strength in lead- ing rails, which advanced one to two | points over yesterday's final figures. The rise in the group -was accom- penied by reports of early action vy the Interstate Commerce commission in the matter of increased . freight rates. Most of the most severe losses of the forenoon were fully recovered at mid-day. International bonds were strong. ‘With the exception of Delaware and Hudson in which the loss was in- creased to more than six points, rails made further gains in the afternoon under lead of Pacific and coalers. In- dustrials and active specialties also hardened. - Closing—Prices sagged again in the | last hour, some specialties then mak- ing lowest quotations. The closing was heavy. Sales were estimated at 700,000 shares. New TYork Stock Exchange quota- tions furnished by Richter & Co., members of the New York Stock Ex- change. Representcd by E. W. Edady.
