BUCKLEY HASPLAN 70 SPEED UP WORK House Leader Changes Relerence Procedure-Other Measures Hartford, Jan. 17.~The legislative campaign lo secure laws through which the continued pollution of in- land waters and rivers of Connecticut may be lessened is to be conducted on & new tack, aceording to Repre- sentative Wheeler of Stratford, house ehairman of the committee on shell fisheries who yesterday introduced a blank bill for creation of a conserva- tion commission, Mr, Wheeler, as an oyster grower, has been before pre- vious sessions in support of bills to ald the oyster industry by trying to have the state elean up the Housa- tonie river, As a legislator, he said today he had his “eye teeth cut” and hoped to approach the great evil of river pollution in another way, strivs ing for less in the hope of getting results, The bill for a conservation commission, when finally drawn will be made the subject of & general hearing to which growers, manufac- turers, boards of trade, agriculturists and others will be invited, Every point of view possible will «be ob- tained, and, according to Mr. Wheeler the hope will be entertained that a compromise bill will be drawn to be introduced as the commission bill. This bill, when called for a hearing, Mr. Wheeler belleves, will not arouse antagonisms such as developed last session, Mr. Wheeler sald that it ap- peared to him far better to iron out differences of opinion over stream pollution, among those interested than to throw the burden upon & leg- islative committee or the legislature. Buckley's New Method. A new policy in handling legisla- tive bills carrying appropriations is proposed by house leader John Buck- ley based upon his long experience as a legislative clerk, as a legislator and as a house leader. He would have every bill which carries an appropri- ation go first to the appropriations committee instead of to the commit- tee to which its reference naturally would be, The old method has been that the committee with a bill for a project—sometimes a pet one of a group of citizens—would quit a hear- ing and in the end with a favorable endorsement would report back to the legislature with the recommendation that the bill go to the appropriations committee. The latter would then hold another hearing at which the project would be thrashed out again by the same interested citizens. The Buckley plan would give opportunity for joint hearings by committees, a saving of 50 per cent of time in the hearing stage and a short career for a great mass of bills which the appro- priations committee know early could not be seriously considered besause of the expense involved. The new plan might shorten legislative sessions four to six weeks. Mr. Buckley started his campaign for the new plan on two bills concerning mosquito elimination. The senate committee on public health and safe- ty. Mr. Buckley raised the question of reference when they came up in the house, but it developed that neither bill carried a direct appropriation, so the reference was in concurrence. Mr. Buckley shortly after tripped up Senator Wilder, who yesterday had referred to the judiciary committee | the resolutions for Comly and Beers for judgeships at Bridgeport. The statute requires that such resolutions be sent to the calendar and the house did this in non-concurrence.

R, A, 1016 C, 1017; Smith vs. Jerome, 93 New York Supp, 202; U, 8. vs. Wilson, 163 Fed. 335), at Frank's express invitation, proceeded to search for the dangeresus weapon, to wit: the brass knuckles, which lthe'y had been credibly informed and honestly believed had been used in committing the assault in question. “While so engaged, the defendants discovered the overcoat which I find | (5 Corpus Juris, page 435, Sec. 74) they took in good faith, reasonably jand justifiably belleving it to have |been stolen by Frank, and to have |been then the subject of a crime in |process of perpetration by the plain- | tiff and his wife and their son Frank, Km wit: that of receiving and conceal- ing stolen goods knowing them to be stolen. “As soon as a reasonable opportun- ity to investigate failed to confirm the belief which the defendants had had when they took it, they forthwith re- turned the coat. Under these cir- cumstances the defendants are not li- able in damages for the taking or de- tention of the toat, (State vs. Mag- nano, 97 Conn, 543). It further may be observed in this connection that no evidence was offered of any dam- age resulting from the taking of this coat by the defendants. “I find against the defendants upon their counter-claim. “Judgment may be entered for the : defendants to recover their costs. “BROWN, J.” The memorandum of the court in the case of Josephine Fiedorowicz fol- lows: “What is stated in the memor- andum this day filed in the case of Anthony Fiedorowicz against the isame defendants, which was tried to- gether with this case, being No. 24016, with relation to the question of liability and damages for the taking the coat of the plaintiff in that case, applies to the similar question pre- sented by the second count in thie case. TFor the reasons there stated 1 (find that this plaintiff is not entitled to recover on the second count. “The first count is based upon per- sonal injuries alleged to have been in- flicted by the defendants upon the plaintiff upon the same occasion. While apparently the most serious in- juries of which the plaintiff here complains were sustained after she had actually gone out of the room where her son Frank was lawfully (see Memorandum in No. 24016) placed under arrest, I am satisfied upon all of the evidence that this plaintiff in common with her hus- band attempted to and did interfere to some extent with the officers in the course of the arrest ‘and removal of her son Frank, and the search for |brass knuckles properly iacidental thereto and while very likely these in- juries might not have been received except for the further trouble in the | kitchen during which this plaintiff as disclosed by the evidence, attacked the defendants with vigor and mark- ed at least one of them with one of the pots or pans which she apparent. ly effectively wielded, still this melee was in fact a part of and certainly a direct consequence of the resistance to Frank's arrest and said search inci- dental thereto and not of an attempt wrongfully to search the premises as claimed by the plaintiff. The plain- tiff therefore is not entitled to recover on the first count of her complaint. e e " THE HERALD The A-B-C Paper with the A-B-C Want Ads “I find against the defendants upen their counterclaim. “Judgment may be entered for the defendants to recover their costs “HROWN, J." NEW CHARTER GHANGES Fine and Hour of Convening Under Daylight Saving Flan, At the suggestion of the judges of the police court, a recommendation will be offered to the eharter revision committee next week to Increase the maximum penalty that may be im- posed by the local court from $200 to $300; and to change the time for the convening of court in case of a shift from standard time to daylight saving time during the summer months, In many instances courts of smaller towns have greater jurisdiction in the imposing of fines than the local courts, it 18 argued, Relative to the time change, there has been much confusion because of the charter pro- vision that requires the opening of court at 8:30 during the period of daylight saving, it is explained, this being the reason for secking a change. —— PREFER PRISON TO RUSSIA Communists Refuse Pardon Which Means Exile to Land of Soviets Chicago, Jan, 17.~It's one thing to how! from a soap box about Soviet Russla, as viewed from the safe van- tage point of the United States, but going there and revelling in Russlan life is something else again, Communists now admit they prefer life In @ American penitentiary to the “freedom’ of Russin.
