Ficing time when the public acts of 1909, relating to taxa- tion, shall take effect; calendar. Unfavorable Report, Appropriations — Concerning dining hall at Connecticut Agricultural col- lege; Dbill rejected. Women's and Minors’ Hourd. Mr. Buckley of Union as chairman of the committee on labor explained the committees’ favorable. report on a sub- stitute for a senate bill concerning the hours of labor for women and minors. The senate had amended with three amendments, one dealing with the form of notice to be required and to be provided ‘by the factory inspector and correcting clerical errors. This was adopted. Another changed cer- tain employment forbidden to minors s0 as to forbid it to minors until 16 years. It was adopted. The third amendment struck out a part of section 4, and it was rejected. Mr. Chandler of Rocky HIill intro- duced an amendment allowing an em- ployer who gives seven holidays with pay in a calendar year to employ for not more than eleven hours a day from the 17th to the 25th of December. He said that the lines which he corrected were loosely drawn and open to mis- chievous construction. Mr. Chandler said that In Pennsylvania labor of children in the holiday season was actually shortened, because the work was harder. Mr, Higgins said that if the matter stood between the interest of the mer- cantile establishments on the one side and the interests of growing boys and girls of Connecticut on the other, he stood squarely for the children as against money. Mr. Humphrey of Oxford was in faver of this amend- ment. He sald that some children came out Christmas weeks wrecks. The exaction did nobody good except the men who made money out of young children. 3 Mr. Parker of Hartford opposed tha amendment. The merchants of Hart- ford employed heélp fewer hours than employers anywhere else did. They kept their stores open the week be- fore Christmas, not for themselves, but for working people that might buy at evening. Mr. Chandler of Rocky Hill wanted to know if the merchants kept open at night only for working people and not for the profit. From what Mr. Parker sald-one would think that it was only for humanitarian purposes This amendment was along the line of economic development. The first duty of the general @ssembly was to man- kind, not merchants, Mr. Magee of Watertown said that in most trades the hours were eight day, and yet the general assembly wa. asked to force eleven hours a day on, women and children. Mr. Clark of Bridgeport said that trading at Christmas was for working people and children and that the only way to meet the demand was to keep open till late in the week before Christ- mas, Mr, Chamberlain of New Britain wes was passed. the Lake submarine ‘boats, 18 back of the plan and he has secured [from Stephen C.

As the flying machine is no longer an impossibility, it is under- stood that Mr. Lake intends to per- fect his type of machine with the idea of manufacturing it for trade. NEW SERVICE SATISFACTORY. First Day’s Operation on New Haven Road Plea: Commuters. Considerable interest by commuters and railroad men was manifested Monday in the opening of the new train service on the Harlem River branch of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. The trains were well patronized both ways and ran punctually to their schedules. The result of the day’'s operation justifies the conclusion that the experiment is bound to become a populdr success. Such divisions of traffic from the Grand Central terminal will eventually cut into the revenue of the New York Central lines, while adding to the | profits of the New Haven company. Superintendent Hopson, assisted Dby Trainmaster Paul Smith, was on hand all day at the Harlem términal to see that the arrangements for the prompt and systematic transfer of passengers were fully carried out. The commuters exprenedy themselves well pleased with the service and complimented Mr. Mellen and the New Haven offi- clals on their enterprise. ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL Bill Creating t:%u With a Salary of $3,000 Favored. Attorney General M. H. Holcomb conferred with the committee on the judiciary last week on a bill which he offered as a substitute to the bill for thé appointment, by the governor, of a person, who shall be an attorney- at-law, to receive from the relatives of indigent persons the amount of claims of the state for the latter's support. This bill was recommitted to the com- mittee. The substitute bill of the attorney general provides for the appointment of an assistant attorney general at a salary of $3,000, and whose duties along with others, shall be to collect these claims. Judge Holcomb is op- posed to the suggestion that the comp- troller should collect the cloims. He is of the opinion that the collection of the claims is, properly, a part of the legal business of the state, and that it is unnecessary to have this business divided between two departments of the state government. FOR A TRADE SCHQOL. Cheney Bros. Will Provide and Equip One for Manchester. Cheney Bros. have bought the Trot- ter mill at Manchester and intend to use it as a trade school. There is now before the legislature a bill ap- propriating $25,000 for the establish- dnent of two trade schools in the state, The Ninth district committee, which is the committee governing the busi- ness of the Ninth school district of Manchester, an incorporated district, has made application for one of the schools. Chenty Bros. bought the mill and agreed to furnish all the equipment necessary for a trade school, if the state board of education, which has the power in the bill to decide where the school shall’ be lecated, decides to allot to Manchester one of the schoo The appropriation of $12,500 which will go with the school will be considered sufficient to pay the run- ning expense of the school. against the amendment. Mr, Tibbits — of Norwich stated that in that city NEW CRACKER TRUST. department stores paid employes who were away sick. Six Millions Capital, But Starts in Mr. Bishop of New Haven said that with $1,000 id In in good department stores stools were . “ furnished to employes. He figured that The General Biscuit company of the time for the week before Christ- mas should be twelve hours a day in- stead of eleven. Mr. Dunn of Windham said that he alwa stood for labor and that he supposed it would go out today that anyone voting against the amend- ment was against labor. It should be understood, however, that it was an accommodation to working people to have extra time in which to trade. He did not know of any women who had asked their representatives to vote for shorter hours. Mr. Chandler offered an amendment to his amendment “makiug the time twelve hours instead of eleven, to meet the views of Mr. Bishop and Mr. Dunn Mr. Buckley of Union said that the bill offered was a compromise between the Consumers' league and the mer cantile men, who appeared by counsel at three hearings in the hall of the house. It was no more than fair that there should be no restrictions as to the week before Christmas. The amendment to the was lost. Mr. Lyons of Thomaston assailed the amendment, which was lost. A motion for the previous question was made, doubted and announced as carried. The amended bill was passed with a num- | ber of veices dissenting. |~ The bill for hours of labor for wom- !en and miners was reconsidered a few | minutes after passage that Mr. Bunyan i of Colchester might offer an amend- ment exempting children under 16 from labor after 7 p. m. Mr. Clark of Bridgeport opposed this amendment, which was lost. Then for the second time the bill as amended was passed. ; From the Table. i Mr. Dormitzer took from the table a resolution for a committee of recall of the automobile bill introduced by lSpnstnr Reed. He opposed the reso- | | Hartford has filed a corporation cer- tificate with the state secretary. The company is to manufacture biscuits, crackers, candies, macaroni, and other food products.

VETERANS' DAY. No Camp Fire at Plainville Unless De- manded—Programme of Exercises. There will not be a camp fire at the Vetreans' day exercises at the Plain- ville camp grounds on Thursday, July 29, unless there is a general demani for one.

An Oiled Road. The advantage of oil or the roads as a means to settle the dust can be seen .to good advantage in Plainville. The road is compact, it continues moist, and there is abselutely no dust. In some cities the oil has been put on in such a way as to cause it to spatter on the curb, as vehicles passed over it the conditions became worsge, and the unsightly appearance of the street has been against the use of oil. Its use in Plainville, however, shows to good advantage, though the stretch oiled is not long.—New Britain Herald. Plenty of Water in the Well. A. J. Florian, who resides on a hill in the north part of Reynold's Bridge, has been troubled, like many others, about a shortage of water the past two seasons. He secured the services of 'a man from Hartford and a six-inch drill was started in his old well, which was 23 feet in depth and from Satur- day noom until Wednesday night more | than 35 feet was drilled. At this point the test was made, showing the well contained 41 feet of water; also that in pumping out 250 gallons in a few minutes the well had lowered but two Fined for Having Slot Machines. The six store keepers of Meriden arrested Thursday ‘for allowing ‘slet machines to be operated in their places of business were fined $25 each in the police court.

All business pertaining to the diocese has gince Geen done with the sovereign pontiff, entirely independent of the propaganda. “The new congrégation, of course, had .a great deal of business left on its hands, and the various matters had to be dealt with slowly. The new order of things is going along quite smooth- ly now, but each subject brought to the attention of the pope must be taken in ts turn. Therefore it is not really known when the bishop of Hart- ford will be Baméd, although the opinion among the majority of clergy- men seems to be that the new prelate will surely be in office by fall.” DO BEES TRESPASS? Peculiar Suit Brought by Watertown Neighbor. At Watertown, Charles Field has brought suyit against his next door neighbor, Grank Gilmore. The latter keeps -bees and Mr. Fleld claims they are a nuisance, they having stung him many times, and that they ought to be kept-at home and not allowed to visit and sting neighbors. The bees and théir stings have kept the two neigh- bors from:being the best of friends for some time, and it is reported that Mr. Field built a pigpen just as near Mr. Gilmore’s front door as the boundary lines would permit. According to the story, Mr. Field put some pigs in the pén, but the bées objected to having thé swine for -heighbors and stung them - so unmercifully that they soon died. - There is & law regarding live- stock trespassing on neighbor’'s prem- ises, but-this-is said to be the first attempt ever made to have bees kept in confinement and should it be car- ried to a higher court might be made a test case and become of general in- terest to beckeepers throughout the state. -Mr. Field lives farther from Mr. Gilmore than other neighbors and in a different direction. potimt-Suroditn . ' POSTOFFICE SITE. Treasury. Department Gives Business Men Ultimatum. ‘The business men of Danbury have until August 1 to make good on their proposition “of securing the railroad station<in that 'city as a site for the new public building to be constructed at Danbury. Representative Hill of Connecticut ‘went to the treasury de- partment the other day to ascertain what the-condition of affairs was. Be- ing informed that no site had yet been selected, Mr. Hill urged that action be taken soon. Assistant Secretary Hilles sald he would give the business men about two weeks in which to make a definite ~offer “of “the railroad station site, and if that deal could not bé closed in that time ‘the department would consider other sites.

A movement 1s afoot In Seymour for the closing of the dry goods stores, clothing stores .and furniture stores on Tuesday ‘afternoons through the re- mainder of July and August.
