There wi no hearing on all ma ters concerning public utilities tod: the assignment having been advanced one week on account of the inability of Senator Judson, chairman of the judiciary committee, to be present at this time. The house joint resolutions appoint- ing Lucius Brown judge of the city court of Norwich, appointing Henry H. Pettis judge of the same court, and appointing John H. Barnes depuiy udge of the same court are get down or hearings before the judiclary committee today at Hartford. There is an impression in some sec- tions of Connecticut that we need to obviate carrying to Hartford a ma: of business that ought to be done els: where, for instance, in the towns and by the towns and cities in which many measures that come before the general astembly originate. This, it is said, would tend to solve the prob- lem of shorter sessions. Representative Johnson of Newton admitted to the house that he had one put over on him the other day when he voted in faver of endorsing President Taft's plans for reciprocal trade relations with Canada. Mr. Johnson is a farmer. He didn’t mean to vote against what he considers his own inte and took the trouble to explain this to the house on first op- Dortunity. Granges in various counties of the state have, through petitions, made known to the general assembly that they are in favor of the bills calling, for appropriztions for use at the Con- necticut a, cultural coliege at Storrs, These bills, three in number, intro- duced by Senator Alsop, are listed for hearings before the committee on ap- propriations Thursday of this week at 2 o'clock. Among the pleas before the judici ary committes and the labor commit- tee, sitting jointly, for a faverable re- port on the workmen's compensation proposition, no voice was raised in be- half of the thousands of cotton mill operatives in the eastern section of the state, although they compose prob- aply the largest class of inside workers in Connecticut. From anything that developed at the hearings there was no | indication that they have ever heard of the proposed legislation. This one is told about Representa- tive Keach of Killingly: His wife shook him the other night for the purpose of announcing that there was 4 burglar in the house. He did mot awaken easily. She shook him again, whereupon this conversation ensued: “Ne! Ned! Wake up! There's a burglar in the house!” What 2" ‘Thére's a burglar {n the house. “Oh, no, dear (sleeplly); dom’t worry about that.

The act pro- vides thal a board of five directors, to be named by the governor, who shall purchase real estate in the name of the state for a site for such a farm, and also providing for an expenditure not exceeding $50,000 for the equip- ment of such farm, and also makes provision for its control and manage- ment.

In case the injury results in totai incapncity, a weekly payment equal in amount to 60 per cent. of the yverage weekly earaings of the snjured emplove in the course of & year prior io the injury, but in no case more than $10 a week or less than $5. This bill does not find favor with the organized men in common carrier service. They say their own unions make better provisions than the above woeuld give.
