Hartford, May 9.—It is quite possi- ble that the public utilities commis- glon matter may yet be postponed to the next general assembly. The feel- ing i that while perhaps there is enough in it to make it wise not to summarily dispose of it at this time, the ideas of nobody on the subjeet are | sufficiently developed so that a well| rounded bill can be prepared in the ghort time remaining this session. The only thing that members are certain of is that they do not want special charters teken away from the legisia- ture, which means that they will not etand for the bill reported by the tem- porary eommiseion. As to what kind of a biM is desirable, there are many minds and hardly any two men are mc% while nobddy knows well enough he wants to have it on paper. No amendments were offered to the judiclary commit- tee during its wery ampt: hearinge on fhe sutrject, except two three minor amendments by Malone of Bristol, a member of the eommittes, t_before the bill was to be r ed.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,, May 9.—Six men a woman and two children were owned today in the Susquehanna river near this city by the capsizing of a rowboat in which they had start- ed for an outing. The dead are Thom- as, William and Theodore Andrews Frank Marionosky, Adam Strukus Frank Ganofsky and wife and two boys, John and Michael. The nine persons started out for a boat ride in the small craft. While they remained close to the shore all went well, but as the boat drifed out into the swift current it began to ship water. The occupants of the boat be- came panic stricken and called franti- cally for assistance. Some boys at play on the bank of the river heard the screams for help, but before a bcat could be got the rowboat in mid- stream had filled with water and sunk, None of the occupants could swim and they were swept down the river to their death by the rushing current. None of the bodies has been recov. ered. One of the boys who witnessed the tragedy said tonight that the man who was rowing seemed to dip his oars too deep. This, he said, caused the water to splash over the side of the boat. The woman, to avoid the water, start- ed toward the stern of the crast. This shifting of seats caused the boat rap. idly to flll with water and in a few minutes all were floundering in the rushing river, 8on of Abdul Hamid to Attempt to Rescue His Father. amd. -tr....raAdrN..mtUa ofiiaf.
