SUNDAY SALES OF | lir I.lcense BIII. - LIQUOR AT HOTELS., A PETITION FROM NORWICH Against Passage of the Measure— Privilege Limited to Hotels Having Not Less Than 35 Rooms. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, May 23—By a vote of 24 to 6 the sematc én Tuesday passed the So-called Sunday hotel license bill, a measure that js an innovation in Connecticut legislation, inasmuch as its provisions would make legal in this state, the sale of liquors on Sunday to hona-fide guests of reputable hotels having at least 35 rooms for guests. The Bill Amended. The bill came up a5 the order of the dav at 12 oclock, being taken from ihe table and subjected to amendment and debate before it was put uponm its passage. As passed, the bill is amended in several respects, the prin- cipal changes from the draft submit- ted by fhe excise committee being in the raising of the required number of | guest rooms in hotels that may re- ceive such a license from 25 to 35; iting the hours for the sale of liquor on Sundays to the time between 1 p. m and 11 p. m. whereas the bill as reported provided for such sale from 6 a. m. to 1 a. m. of the follow- ing day, and confining such sales and service to the diming Toms of such hotels_and cnly to pona fide guests, the claus providing for serving of drinks in rooms of zuests being elim- inated. 5 Long and Spicy Debate. The debats on the measure was not areatly extended, but sprey, Senators Peck, Lounsbury and Brinsmade op- posing it, while Senator Hooker was heard in its favor. Senator Peck in Opposition. Senator Peck, who spoke at great- est length in opposition o the bill, said that the people of this state hav Zone on record in favor of restricting the sale of liquor. The law reduc: the number of saloons 10 cne to ever 500 people has met with general ap. by the majority of the people nnecticut, and this being true, enact legislation that would open Sunday 1o the liquor traffie. Even some drinking men consider sthe bill a vicious one. Scnator Peck said that he believed the bill would be bad for his home city of Danbury and also for every city in the state. Saloon Men Not in Favor of Bill. 1 helieve that many of the saloon men are not in favor of this bill, and | I am satisfied that the majorily of men fecl the same way, he said; sell ing liquor on Synday seems a dese- cration of “the Sabbath. Speaking-of the effect of the pi of the bill on thousands of women and children of the state and. the increase of m that it would cause to them, Sen- ator Peck said that it seemed fo him | that this would influence good, moral men to vote against it and that the measure was of the same kind as the Raines law of New York. The sena- tor critically reviewed the reiation of the bil and the automobolists, in whose interest its passage was espe- cially urged, laving particular stres upon the danger that liquor drinking Dby touring parties may cause to themselves ?I’vd to others. Bill Defended by Senator Hooker. In defénce of th ill, Senator Hdok- er said that it was Drogressive and regulative legislation, and if he did not believe it to be such he would not { be supporting it. It is in line with statutes passed by the neighboring states of New York and Massachu- setts, he sai every one in the senate chamber prick their ears when he declared that slators come to the capitol and in netity enact excise laws and then go right down to the hotels and insist thot these very laws be violated—the first and the worst of their insistence that the law be violated. The sena- tor believed that the bill under dis- cussion would - correct some abuses that now exist. Petitions Against the Bill. Petitions against the passage of the bill were presented from orwich people and others in his district by Senator Avery and by Senmator Pad- dock of Br: ceport, the latter declar- ing that his petitioners were ail good people, hut not only opposed to sell- ing liquer on Sunday, but on any day of the week. Yea and Nay Vote Taken.

The. com- missioner’s retirement had been pre- dicted since the publication of a recent letter of James Creelman, the mayor's civil service commissioner, criticising the commissioner's methods of making promotions and appointments. “Last Thursday when 1 visited tho mayor,” said Mr, Cropsey, “I told him that [ could mot continu. commissioner, in xtow of his eriticiem and evident lack of confidence in me as shown by-the publication of Mr. Creel- man’s letter.”” The retiring commissioner declared that in his appointments he had fol- low>d @ precedent set by the municipal civil service commission itself, and said that he had resisted for spme months the urgings of Mayor Gaynor to make promotions threughout the entire de- partment, because he thought such ac- tion unnécessary and unjustifiabie.
