WOULD SQUEEZE 0UT ALL WATERED STOCK Senator Brookhart‘ Says Railroad Stocks Are In- flated $7,000,000 ures, Hartford, March 16—An increase in | the number of judges of the superior court is probable as the judiclary committee reported today favorably on the bill creating two additional Jjudges for that {ribunal. The num- ber would be 18, and several rames have been mentioned as likely ap- pointees to the new places including those of Senator Ells of Waterbury and Speaker Nickergon of Cornwall, Kill Anti-Strike Bill The anti-strike bill of the ,Connec- ticut Manufacturers’ association which was adopted by the.1921 house and rejected by that senate was rejected by the senate today, as it had been withdrawn. - There was a conference last week which resulted in an agree- ment between Ralph O. Wells for the manufacturers’ association and Sen- ator Tone (dem.) representing or- ganized |abor, by which not only was the anti-strike bill to be abandoned but the bills of Senator Tone concern- ing ‘“trade disputes” and “intimida- tion” were also to_be withdrawn. The latter two bills alfb were rejected by the senate by reason of withdrawal, thus completing the terms of the agreement and eliminating three in- dustrial labor bills which promised to produce much debate, This practi- cally leaves before the assembly as la- bor measures only those relating to hours of labor of women and minors 1 industry and the 48 hour bill ask- ed for by the textile workers in the eastern part of the state.

He was then taken to the police station and asked to be ex- amined by a physician, Dr. Faulkner was called and declared that Oles- cavicz was not sufficiently under the influence of liquor fo interfere with his driving.

Chief Hart has not had a complete report of the incident, but under- stands that Olescavicz left the auto- mfobile, called O'Mara a vile name, hit him and was hit in return. The matter has been referred to the diseipline committee of the police commission for further investigation.

MAYOR DISAPPROVES OF POLICE “STOOL PIGEONS" PR If Judge Hungerford's ruling that the fee of a "stool pigeon" cannot be taxed as costs against the defendant, is sustained by the other judges of the police icourt and it becomes necessary to take those fees from emer- gency or incidental accounts of the department, Mayor A. M, Paonessa will probably request the commissioners to have the practice of using “stool pigeons"” in liquor prosecutions stopped. Discussing the situation this afternoon, Mayor Paonessa as- serted that he has never, nor does he now, approve of the use of ‘“stool pigeons” if by any other possible means the laws can be enforced. On ap appeal by Lawyer Stanley J. Traceski, Acting Judge I*. B, Hunger- ford in police court this morning ruled that the payment of a fee to “stool pigeons” was not an item that ¢ould properly be taxed against ac- cused persons in their costs accom- panying fines, and he disallowed a bill of $10 for John Remis for services in securing evidence against Mrs. Stan- ley Trosco, of 24 Clark street, who was fined $200. Since tHe New Pritain police de partment began its campaign against “dry” law violators, use has been made of “agents” who procure liquor and testify against the persons arrest- ed. In practically all instances they have received a fee of $10 in each case. This has been taxed against the accused person as costs, but until today no question has been raised as to the propriety of this assessment. Questions “Assistants $10” After today's session of court had been concluded, and = before Judge Hungerford had left the bench, At- torney Traceski brought the Trosco warrant before the court and raised the question of propricty on the item ot “Assistants, $10." . Judge Hungerford asked Deputy Prosecutor W. M. Greenstein if he wished to defend the charge but the prosecutor denied any coungetion with the assessment of costs, explain- ing that it wax not a mart of the prosecutor’s Juty. to fix costs. Chicf. Hart Yxplains Fee. Chief of Poliée W. C. Hart was then called to explain the $10 fee. He said it was a payment to Remis who had brought in evidence in the form of a bottle of alleged liquor tthat he had purchased from Mrs. | Trosco, according to evidence.
