Efforts to establish radio communication with Blanding from Salt Lake last night failed. Old,Posey, an aged Indian who was a leading figure in the outbreaks of past years, was said to be taking part in the present affair. The Piute Indians in the San Juan section aiways have resented the com- ing of the white settlers and from time to time there have been out- breaks of a more or less serious na- | turk, Pursuits of renegade Indians is a dangerous task as they are all well armed wi high powered rifles and according «to reports fave a large amount of ammunition. The San Juan country, is mountain- ous and once the Indians gain their familiar haunts, apprehension will be hard. LOST MINER IS FOUND Blood Hound Fails to Follow Trail, Judges’ Bill Approved Hartford, Magch 21. — The bill to create two additional judgeships on the superior court bench was adopted by the senate today on the favorable report of the judiciary committee and with only a moment given to discus- sion of it. Senator Wilder moved passage, saying that additional judges are needed because of the congested condition of the dockets in several of the courts. Senator McGrath endorsed what Senator Wilder had sald and referred to the conditions in the court in his city. Interest in the fate of this bill has been awakened by a letter from Chief Justice George W. Wheeler to Repre- sentative Fenton the democratic house leader to the effect that additional judges were not needed. IN THE HOUSE Concur On Greenberg. The house today, after Representa- tive Hanrahan of Farmington bad given an explanation, concurred with the senate in restoring forfeited rights to Albert A.

The birth control bill which Mrs. Margaret Sanger so stoutly defended before the judiciary committee a few tweeks ago was adversely reported by that committee and the bill was re- jected by the house. The session wah marked by debate over the bill validating tax irregulari-| ties in Clinton, the discussion resound- | ing with the stentprian tones of Mr. Bell of Salisbury nad the scarcely audible voice of Mr. Bliss of Clinton, Mr. Bell told some of the remark- able situations in Clinton brought out at the hearing before the judiciary/ committee, and he said the bill really seeks to amend the general tax laws of the state.

Also, it is grobable that the civil service system will be abolished by legislative action. Senator, Parks, chairman of the senate committee on cities and bor- oughs, in talking to a Herald repre- sentative this afternoon, said that it is his opinfon that his committee, which has been giving the New Brit- ain charter amendments no little con- sideration, will report them out carly next week, Probably Won't Pass, A very significant statement by Senator Parks was that he is of the opinion that the proposed amendment curtailing the powers of the school board will be killed. This proposal, it will be remembered, would limit the school board in making expenditures of more than $300. Items involving more than this amount would have to be recommended to the common council, there to be either accepted or rejected. The school board's present person- nel has been threatened by this meas- ure, Chairman B. F. Gaffney having been very outspoken in saying that he should not care to serve on a board so hampered. Other members also bave expressed disproval. If this charter amendment proposal is killed, it will mean that the status of the school board is unchanged and, also, it will mean a technical defeat for the present democratic city administra- tion. Will Kill Civil Service. It is probable, according to Senator Parks, that the proposed amendment by Representative B. W. Alling, which would do away with the civil service system in this city, will be adopted as recommended. The senate today passed senate bill 621, sent in by Judge G. W. Klett, which would' give the governor the right to make temporary . appoint- ments to the poliee and city court benches in case of vacancies oceuring between degislature sessions.
