LOBBY INFLUENCE ON UTILITIES BILL. Suggestion Made in House that “Long Green” Might Be Used. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, June 8.—By unexpectedly moving the suspension of the rules and immediate consideration of the all im- portant pubHc utilities bill, Represent- ative 1. E. Whiton of New London Sprang a surprise on the house Thurs- day afternoon, and before the debate on the proposition was concluded there was some very plain talk. Inci- dentally it led to the first real defini- tion of his position on the public utili- ties question by Representative Banks, republican house leader and member of the judiciary committee,and brought a statement from him to the effect that if he were forced to vote at once that he would do se in favor of the minor- ity bill that passed the senate on Tues- day, although he believed that as a law it ‘Would be shown to be unconstitu- tional on a test before the supreme court. Fear of Lobby's Influence Fear of the influence of the lobby was also openly expressed during the discuszion by those who were in favor of immediate action, that this pos bility might be avoided. and Repre- sentative Johnson of Newton went so far as to abruptly interrupt Mr. Chand- ler of Rocky Hill to inquire of the speakcer if lobbyists were going to be allowed in the chamber, as they were two years ago. “I just saw one of thein, a man who used his influence in this house two years #go0 when the public utilities bill was being considered, slide in here like a snake in the grass and take a seat up back there,” said Mr. Jobnson. “It is up to t 150 to decide whether rail- road.atterneys shall be allowed in this chamber while this bill is being dis- cussed.” “Name him; name your man,” came the call from a dozen members. “Attorney Morehouse” (New Haven), replied Mr. Johnson. Lobbyists Might Use “Long Green.” At this point Mr. Dunn of Windham the furged immediate consideration of the ! bill, “so that the lobbyists will have no chance to fixe things by warking the telephene ang automobiles, and proba- bly by _using the “long green. Mr. Banks agreed that he would be in favor of excluding everyone from the house not members, excepting the senators-and reporters. Whiton Explains His Action. In explaining his upusual motion, Mr. Whiton said t e felt that all were thoroughly fam with the sub- ject matter to_be discussed, and ihat it seemed to him that the members had had full opportunity to inform themselves s to the provisions of the bills and their general purport. There was no need for further delay, with all its_dangers. There were declarations in favor of remaining until midnight, if necessary, o dlsposs of the matter, and further objections h about rushing the bill b, before Mr. Dunn moved the previous question refulling to withdraw the motion 10 lat Mr. Johnson of New- town ask more questions. The debate ceased. Banks States Position. This gave Mr. Banks his opportuni- ity to say some things. ‘I am in faver of the single commis- sion Dbill,” he said. “I never have been in favor of the so-cailed majority bill. If T have to vote todey I wiil vote for the minority bill, 2nd maybe I will vote fof it later. fully Dbelieve t! the minority bitl will prove absolutely -in- effective and that the supreme court will declare it So on test, and this is my honest beiief on my oath as a rep- resentative and upon my honor as lawyer; but I will vote for the bill in preference to getting no bill at all.” Referring to the fact that Governer Baldwin vouches for the constitution- ality of the minority bill, Mr. Banks said: “I have the highest respect for Governor Baldwin, but I do know that last few years he was on the bench he was four times wrong on cons‘itutional questions, or else the other judges of the court were wronz. So toe much weight i= not to be place upon his opinion in this matter. two particular instances in which I persomally question the copstitutional- ity of the provisions of this bill are in that it attempts to delegate to an ad- ministrative hoard the power of mak- ing rcles and confers upon the board the right of appeal, thi shaving previ- ously been found unconetitutional With the members hungry and rest- less from the long sitting it was not difficult to reach an agreement to make the bills the order of the day for Thursday next at 11.30 o'clock.

Point Made That: It Will Legalize Bawdy and Road Houses. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, June 8. —Legal considera- tions involved in an excise makter— the club license bill—the first imper- tant oxcise legislation to be taken up in the house this session, resulted on Thursday in its being tabled just as it was apparently about to be killed in order that learned attorneys among the members may have a chance to scan it closely for the purpose of de- termining if it can be made an instru- ment under which the perplexing prob- lem of effectually prosecuting so-called clubs that sell liquors to their members without a license. It developed during the discussion that there is difference of opinion among the members of the legal profession as to the right of a club to do that in this state, where there are no supreme court decisions to guide, although the supreme cOurts in New York and Massachusetts hav decided that members of a club have a right to buy liquors of each other. Mr. Bent, Bridgeport, author of the bill, explained that it is really neces- sary that clubs be made to take out a license. He said that under the pres- ent arrangement conditlons are becom- ing intoicrable. Clubs ars doing a liquor business all over the siate and are net paying any license. There is no law in this state requiring a club to take out a license. We have no supreme court decisions on this club matter and it is an open question whether or not a club has a right 10 gell to its members. This bill is aim ed at the great number of illegitimaie clubs that are springing up like mush- rooms all over the state. Most of these re ingorporated as athletic clubs, but the only fhing they develop is a thirst. The retail liquor dealer pays $450 a vear for a license; the ciubs pay noth- ing. The bill provides that evary club wheze liquor is sold shall take out a Heense at $100 a year and that a ¥st of members and officers and a copy «f the by-Mws and constitution be fled with the application, signed by tie prestdent and ‘secretary, to the county commissloners, who may use their dis orefion as to granting. The bill e empts clubs within the 200 feet lim] “The bill,” Mr. Bent said, “will remedy evils which exist today. Mr. Tingler charaeterizad the meas- ure as one to licenso every bawdy and road house. If these clubs want to take out a license, he said, let them do t under the regular form. I balleve an abominable measure and that shouid be killed. Various amendments were offered ‘o the bill and reported, one of them, by Mr. Hall of Willington, raising the licanse fee fo $450. but ail were finally tabled with the bill. Mr. Hall's amend- ment raised the question whether it would not, if passed, be contrary to the prosent law regulating the numbar of saloons to one for every 500 people. Mr. Banks said he could appreciate the difficulty of making members from the smail towrs understand the condi- tion that this club question is creating in the cities of the state. In the cour: for which he is the prosecuting attor- ney b3 club cases are now pending on appeal. “T will try to convict in eacn one of these” he said, “despite what Mr. Bent has said about there being no law on this matter in this state. “Some of the cases will probably go to the supreme court. I know of the decisions in New York and Massacha- sotis. T would like a certain and set- tled law so that I may know and the wourts may know what the exact sit- nation relative to the clubs spring- ing up all over the stats and that are doing business in competition with the saloons without paying a license. I like to have the law fixed so that this condition can be corrected. I am Inclined to think from a hasty ex- amination that this bill is in the in- terest of temparance if we ean get it in such shape as to allow of having clubs that sel liquor without a license declared a nuisance.” The bill with all it the amendments { was tabled on motion of Mr. Banks.
