He claimed ¢ would give «yppertunty for trucking with the liquoi* interes/.s and would be the most pern: \cious ¢ hing that could ever pass ths genergl Issembl)‘. To have that plan yvould bejto bridge over the chasm betw,sen t]ie §quor interests “nd the county com missioners in the large centers of pojmlation. He pra- ed the plan d wass, favored by Sena- or MeNeil becan se |t is a tenet of the mocratic faith., Fle thought the sen- or from the |Fjghtesnth (Mahan), “who has no reega T, for party pledges or faith” could n¢ % defend the idea. Mahan 1 Warms Up. Mr. Mahan at = once replied to the effect that Lie denk »d the allegation that h2 had no regard® for party platforms. Jie said that thea e are times when a v's helief muy it rise higher than hat is laid dowd n in a platform be- cause he must act for the whole people and not for a pa rtion of it. On this matier he was ¢ rlad to say that e #tood on th: demi jcratic platform with both feet and he lieved in election of «ommissioners by the people. He said that the only re ason the republica were afraid of tH e plan was that thev would los2 suppa rt. That part of the liquor vote, he o4 .id, that cam be influ- ced has always been with the repub- n party. Spellacy fe r “Home Rule.” Senator Spellas °y said that the mat- ter resolved its sif into the - eternal «auestion “Shall ¢ the people rule?’ He said it was idle v lo say that the system that compels th e senator from the Third (Spellacyly to vote for a commis- sioner for FaiW'leld county, a man probably of wha :n he knew nothing, is a pernicions ond and is not homa rule. He believed thas 4 the choice of a com- sioner could | safely be left with the A Brewer Behind the Bill. Sznator Dicka rman said he was op- posed to the bil | because he had been told that a ced tain brewer who was disappointed b ecause commissioners would not giv a certain license had said that h> int ended to force. this biii through the as sembly. For just this reason the seni :tor was against it. Avery Votes for Bill. On a rolicall those who favored the bill wer Spel lacy, Marlowe, Lawlor, Mahan. Avery, McNeil, .

Just before it the house had rejected a bill to place state employes on an -eight-hour. basis. Chandler Rubs It Into Democrats. Representative Knight of the ap- propriations committee ‘had said that it would cost the state at least $200,- 000 a year additional if the bill went through. Then, when the bill was called up to have the matter lodked into, Representative Dunn denounced the practice of having investigating: commissions, referring to the recent “$7,000 inquiry” into high prices. The bill went down to defeat, and. Mr. Chandler, rising with outspread arms, taunted the democrats with what they had done. Sald he: “The commission would have been named by the Hon. Simeon E, Bdldwin, governor of Con- necticut, a democrat, and your gev- ernor.” 2 Bread Must Be Labeled. The bill concerning registration in dentistry was recommitted. The spe- cial committee which investigated the high prices of necessities put in a bill {in line with its recommeéndations.

Gray, her ‘son’s lawyer. Wien he returned, he ex- plained why he had taken this action. “I did so,” he said, “because of the natural antipathy of a lawyer to have a mother listen t¢ an awful arraign- ment of her son.

Democrats Laugh Over Veto. The adjournment was featureless, despite the strenuous activity that had 80ne before. The president vetoed the cotton tariff revision bill, just as he had vetoed its two revision predecess- ors, the wool and free list bills, The veto went only to the house, in accord- ance with custom, and there its recep- tion was marked by democratic laugh- ter and republican applause. Democrats Embrace Insurgents. Democratic Leader Underwood, amid 2 demonstration, formally thanked the few repblican members who voted with the democrats to pass the tariff | revision bills.

Hartford, August 22.—The special legislative committee appointed to in- quire into the high cost of living in this state made its final report to the general assembly today. While it finds there is a marked tendency toward co- operation by. merchants in the state engaged in the handling of like com- modities, there are very few, if any, combinations in unreasonable restraint of trade or for the purpose of creat- ing a monopoly in the handling of mer- chandise coming under the head of necessities of life. The committee says there is a “Southern New England Wholesale Grocers’ association,” but does not find that it fixes prices. It declares that some articles of merchandise cannot be purchased by retailers, except through ‘whelesalers, adding that there was considerable evidence to show that the sugar refiners restricted their trade to brokers, who, in turn, restricted theirs to wholesale grocers. The committee includes in its report correspondence ‘bearing on the point in question, in- cluding some from Arbuckle Brothers. It says: “Your committee_is convinced that the sugar refineries at:umpt to- main- tain a_uniform price; that the refiner- ies, with the assistance of their brok- ers, succeed fairly well in doing so. “On the subject of coal, the com mittee says there is a significant uni- formity in the retail prices of coal in the various cities of the state. The well-establifhed dealers maintain a unifrom price, and while several of them appeared before the committee and denied that there were anv agree- ments between thm as to th prices and further denied that meetings were held for the fixing of prices, your com- mittee is convinced that there is a complete ana thorough understanding among the coal dealers in Connecticut, as a result of which prices are fixed and maintained. 2 ““The committee finds in the ice sit- uation no combination in restraint of trade.” % No More Races at Lighthouse Point. New Haven, Conn., Aug. 22.—Word was received tonight from John M. Chapman, manager of the eastern cir- cuit of bicycle tracks, that there would be no more races the Lighthouse this season, and that if a track could not be procured near the center of the city no races would be held here next year.

AUGUST 25, 1911 and Democratic Condensed Telegrams|| gyas Beatie Atwood Lands At Fort Plain IS NOW EXACTLY 200 MILES FROM NEW YORK. A 95 MILE FLY YESTERCAY Rode Most of Time With Hands in Pockets—“A Lazy Run All the Way,” He Says—To Albany Today. Fort Plain, N. Y. August 32.—An- other remarkable spin through the air on his aeroplane flight from St. Louis to New York brought Harry N. At- wood, the aviator, from Belle Isle, five miles west of Syracuse, to Fort Plain late this afternoon and landed him_95 miles® nearer his destination. He is now 1,065 miles from his start- ing place and exactly 200 miles from his proposed alighting point in New York, | 95 Miles Without a Stop. From Belle Isle, where he ascended at 455 p. m. Atwood sailed around Syracuse twelve minutes later, turned the nose of his biplane eastward and skirting over the Indian battlegrounds of colonial days in the twilight, de- scended into the Mohawk valley, alighting in a field here at 7.05 p. m. His actual flying time today was two hours and ten minutes and was made without a stop. Had Hands in .Pocket. “The zir was as calm as a_ pool,” said Atwood. ‘“Most of the time I kept my hands in my pockets or read a timetable.” New York by Thursday. Atwood believes he possibly may | make New York by tomorrow but more probably on Thursday, because on ac- count of the rough and wooded Coun- try from Albany down the Hudson river he may be compelled to descend in: different places or effect landings in the water. From here Atwood has 58 miles to go to Albany, which he is capable of making in one flight with- out a stop. Got a Late Start. . The ninth day of his flight Atwood finished without a mishap, though he flew most of the way‘in the twilight and all of it in a dense haze, He flewsover 35 towns and cities. It was the latest start he has attempted. De- layed all day by a high wind, he had almost given up s plan to start, when at 4.35 p. m. the wind calmed and he took advantage of it.” To avold the tall buildings he went arourfd the southern outskirts Qf Syracuse and coming back #gain to%he tracks of the New York Central railroad, took an air line for the east. | Great Reception at Utica. Utica, 38 miles from _the start, which he covered in one hour and 13 minutes, had a demonstration pre- pared in a hurry. Everybedy had abandoned hope of seeing the air man and he was already in sight before his approach, which was generally | known. Not to disappoint the people, { who the day before had waited for several hours. to see Atwood, orders were instantly issued py telephone that all the bells and whistles in town should be sounded, In a minute the city was in an uproar. People poured from shops and houses and climbed on roofs and railroad bridges, while sail- ing serenely in a haze to the north the strange “air tourist” came into view. Almost Dark When He Landed. 1t was almost dark when Atwood neared Fort Plain. He hovered while over the town and then selecting a clear spot on the opposite bank of the Mohawk river, alighted, to the aston- ishment of a farmer, a half-dozen an- sry dogs and a barefooted boy with a wheelbarrow. Atwood said on landing that he did not consider his flight from St, Louis as anything remarkable, “A Lazy Run All the Way.” “It's been just a lazy run all the way,” he said. “Anybody could do it. If experiment in aviation would be confined to straight-ahead sailing, I am sure the problem would be more quickly and sanely solved. The people who look from the ground up in amazement at seeirg me at a dizzy height would be surprised at the sim- plicity of it. I sometimes fix my planes at the right angle and sail along without touching them for ten minutes at a stretch and then lean back in my seat to figure out my lo- cation from the timetable, or eat my junch.” Yesterday’s Record. Summary of the ninth day of At- wood's St. Louis-New York flight: f Ascended at Belle Isle, five miles west of Syracuse, 435 p. m. _ Landed at Fort Plain, 95 miles, 7.05 p. m. 3 % Distance tavelgd or inth day, 95 milés, Actual fiving time, two hours and ten minutes.
