Inside the building it Was necessary to have electric lights turned on in hoth chambers, Unusually large pumbers of visi- tors attended the sehsion as prelim- inacy to committee hearings New Haven sending up a delegation of bysiness men to support the project of a new state armory. Fast Haven folks also were on hand, most of them apparently much in opposition to the idea of annexing that town to its sister town, New Haven, The senate sesslon was of only a few minutes duration and consisted of rejecting in concurrenge a num- ber of-house bllls unfavorably re- perted in the lower branch last week, four of these being fish and game measures, Aaron G, Cohen petitoned for re- Imbursement in $550, “for wilful in- jury done to an airplane owned by him through the action of an avia- tlon spector employed by the state police department.” The topio of - discussion among members who formed groups in cor- ridors was the address of Gov.Trum- bull at the McKinley association dinler Saturday night. There were many expressions of approval of his ideas of laymen on the judiclary committes and of a recess of the general assembly after organization until later datd that bills before the body might be pre-digested before given legislative approval or rejec- tion, Representative John €. Brins- made, of Washington, who was in the house in 1898 when George M. Gunn, demoorat, of Milford, was speaker, points out that there was only one republican lawyer in that house, Judge Wood of Manchester, available for the judiclary com- mittee and to give republicans pro- portionat representative on the com- mittee It was necessary to appoint laymen, Franklin Wilcox of Berlin, John H. Hdle of Glastonhury, late famous a¢ a peach grower and E. H. Cortiss, long commissioner of Windham county, were appointed and served. Representative Brins- made holds that the laws that year were Just as good as any drawn by any judiclary committee whose en- tire membership are lawyers. The senate sent to the judiciary committee the governor’s nomina- tions of judges Frank D. Haines and George E. Hinman to be associate justices of the supreme court, and of Judge Charles B, Waller, re- named for the common pleas bench of New London county. It is understood that no further nominations ‘of judges will be made until those now hefore the general assembly are confirmed. In the absence of Lieut. Governor Brainard the senate’s presiding offi- cer was Senator Plerson of Crom- well, . House Session Is Short The house session lasted a full 15 minutes after making a late start. Three petitions were received res questing that the general assembly refuse to adopt bills giving increased salaries to the judge and deputy judge in the Meriden city court. Another petition asked for inclu- slon of a road from Hadlyme four corners to the Connecticut river into the trunk line system. The committee on cities and bor- oughs reported a bill to divide the decond voting district in Enfleld into precincts. Bills reported unfavorably and re- jected were: Providing a close season on lob- sters, and annexing & part of Leban- on to Windham. One of the incidents of the day was the meeting of the committeo on manufactures which is said not to have organized in any session for half a century. The committee has Dbeen used chiefly as one to which assignments may be made of party members who cannot be provided for on other committees or to mem- bers of the opposite party. No one recalls that a bill was ever sent to the committee and it has been more than useful in its place on the roll. Today, Senator Kenealy of Stam- ford, presided and Miss Marjorie Cheney of Manchester was made clerk. It was the sense of the mem- bera that a bill should be drawn in the conimittee in order to inform others that it existed. This com- mittee with others Representative Higgins of Coventry seeks to abol- ish on A bill he introduced, Child Labor Amend. The {ndications today svere that there will be prolonged debate in the house tomorrow on the question of ratification of proposed amend- ment to the federal constitution con= cerning child labor. It 1is under- stood that Mr. Alling, the house floor leader, will made a motion that the house ratify in order to bring the matter before it and he will ask that the house refuse to ratify, Miss Marjorie Cheney of Manchester who favors the amend- ment it 1s understood will move that the matter be sent to the com- mitteo on federal relations that a public hearing may be Held upon ii. Several members have prepared speeches and unless parliamentary action cuts off débate the house ses- sion will be given over to discussion. The forecast is that the hapse will decline to send the matter to com- mittee and will follow the sepate by settling the question of ratification by vote, The Hartford county meeting de- clded to appoint a commitee of soeven to. consider repairs upon the county building in Allyn street, or & new site for & building. Thres of the members will ha the county oommissioners and four others will be named later, A delegation of New Haven buai- ness men ealled upon Governor Trumb@l today. Their mission was not disclosed, but It was sald later that they were iInterested In city court matters In that city, The judges In this court are named by the governor and it s understood the delegation spoke in behalt of retention of Judges Wat- rous and Chambers, SEES NENACE IN RACIL INCREASE Birth Control Advocafe Fore- casts Conditions Century Hence In 100 years from now the world will have reached 1ts saturation point, at which time there will not be wufticient food supply to keep the population from starving, accord- ing to Henry F. Fletcher, a birth control adyocate, who agdressed the members of the New Britain Lions' cluby at the Burritt hotel today. He said that in order to main- tain the same standards of lving the people of the United Btates now enjoy, the country could not support more than 175,000,000 people, or Just 65,000,000 more than there are in the country now. In 1920 at the present rate of population increase he said the country will have 212,- 000,000 persons. In 40 years he said tha country wlll be much over pop- ulated. He said !hnt the population of the world will reach five billlon, which s its saturation point, in 100 years, The alternative of feeding with synthetic pills, thus saying the ground needed for food production, would be impossible, he said. He advocated avoiding this situa- tion by lowering the birth rate, He denied that birth control would en- courage immorality, but said it would lessen the number of unfit, insane and of low mentality. He quoted changes in the present laws which the Birth Control League would like to enact in Con- necticut and eoncluded by reading some letters received by Mrs, Mare| garet Sanger, birth control leader. It was voted that the Lion's club will be host to the workers in the United Community campaign on March 24, Dr. Le E. Dary was ap- pointed chairman of a committee to get a Lions' insignia to put over the desk in the Burritt hotel and a Lions' Club flag to hang outside the building when the club is in sessfon. It was voted to start the attend- ance record all over next Tuesday by starting everyone with a clean slate. Baturday night will be charter night for the Waterbury club and Dr, Joseph Potts will be chairman of a committee to arrange for local inem- bers to attend the celebration. Dave Young, song leader, an- nounced that the club will learn one new song cach Tuesday from now on. “A Wee Deoch an’ Doris,"” will be the song for next Tuesday. Miss Georgla Green of Hartford rendered ‘several solos and Henry Brenner and Dave Young sang a duet., CITYIN SOLID SHROUD OF “WHITE DARKNESY (Continued from First Page) of the track. The trolley company has men out cleaning this away as rapidly as possible. Because of the fact that snow and fce are not out of the gutters, pools of water run into the astreets. Much trouble is experienced by truck drivers getting in the way of trolleys and jitneys and refusing to move out. 'In several cases it has been necessary to call on the police. Travelling at a fast rate of speed past the intersecfion of Broad and Washington streets last night, an sutomobile driven by an unknown driver crashed into a machine driven by Joseph Chroslowski of 89 Broad street, breaking off the right front wheel and otherwise badly damaging the Chroslowskl car. The driver of the other machine coptinued along without stopping to learn the extent of the damage and Chroslowski told the police he was unable to get the registration number of the machine.

The conversation period expires March 1. Thomas C. Cranwell, president of the Continental Can Co., considers the canning outlook for 1925 favor- able. Owing to the shortage in sofie canning house crops in 1824, present indications, he sald, pointed to a practical exhaustion of seasonable ing season of 1025 opens, and it was reasonable to expect prepara- tlons for increased acreage and pro- duction of canned foods. W. C. Durant of New York has been elected a director of the Inde- dependent Oll & Gas Co. A special meeting of stockholders will be held shortly to approve a proposed reduc- tlon in the no par value stock from 450,000 shares outstanding to 225,- 000 shares on the exchange hasis of one share ‘of new Yor two of old.

Tt was recalled that there had been, a series of sharp changes in two key statements by which bank conditfons are judged—the weekly clearing house gtatement and the federal reserve bank report on redlscount. Another large defieit in reserve last week, following an ex. cess the week before, brought the usual calling of loans to bolster up the bank's position.
