The choir was present and gave selections, and solos were rendered by Miss Josetts Lavalle. The bearers were Louis and Amos Paquette, Moses o a- . The lower branch of the general as- sembly Tuesday afternoon passed a Dill which, if concurred in by the sen- ate and signed by the governor, will no-license towns a majority of the voters may in writing petition the county commissioners to grant a lig- uor license to a specified hotel for four months in each year beginning with June 1. This bill was the suc- cessor fo the bill which had passed the semate last week which was to give the county commissioners the Dower to grant a liquor license to Mor- ton F. Plant's hotel in_ Groton, the Griswold hotel, upon written petition of a majority of the voters in that town, which had favored no-license. In the senate, Mr. Judson, in arguing in support of the favorable report of the judiciary committee, had said that he would have liked to have had the bill a general one. Said That Governor Favors It. It had been known that Governor Baldwin had expressed himself in fz vor of the idea of granting liquor li- censes to summer hotels of unquestion- ed standing, and when the -Groton bill was called up for action by Rep- Tesentative Spicer of Groton, Repre- sentative Caine of Naugatuck offered an amendment which substituted for evervthing after the enacting clause a general bill whick would allow the granting of iiquor license to any hotel in any no-license town under the same terms proposed for Mr. Plant's hotel. Called It Tomfoolery. Mr. Spicer of Groton tried to ex- plain but in the confusion he was not heard until the speaker demanded or- der. . Then Representative Peck of Stratford said that it looked to him as if the whole state was to be over- turned just for one man. - He said that the bill as offered provided no re- strictions against selling out of hours or against Sunday selling. “Because a man has a million or two, he thinks he can buy himself into anything he wants,” sald Mr. Peck. “I have an idea he thinks he can buy his way into heaven Representative Range of Guilford said that if a hotel at Groton is to be opened for the sale of liquor, make the law broad enough and do away with local option entirely and have liquor rywhere. i 3 uch a bill as this will upset towns. What tomfoolery i I move indefinite postponement of the whole matter.” The Groton Situation. Mr. Caine, defending his amendment, claimed that it would give greater re- striction to liquor selling. Mr. Whiton went into a lengthy explanation of conditions in Groton. He said that the bill was special legisiation but the his- tory of the general assembly showed that special legislation is needed to hit a specific situation. The town had voted “No." The administration of the law rested with the local authorities who, under the influence of local opin- jon, had winked at violations of the law at The Griswold. But outside influences had been at work to get prosecuting officers to prosecute and become a general law under which in it was in an effort to'recognize “thil local sentiment which fayored Mr. Plant’s having liguor seld for hisi Buests that this bill was originated. Mr. Whiton explained that at. the:hotel is a transplanted .colony. Mr. Plant did not run his hotel for iocal patron- age, The colony. was made up of peo- ple 'who come from outside the state. The conditions were unlike anything ! else in the state. The bill which would allow Mr. Plant ~to care for these guests, of this colony, would not men- ace the temperance interests of the state. Accustomed to Having What They Want. Representative Banks said that members should look upon the situa- tion in a broad sense. This was 1911. People travel in automobiles, and when they come to a hotel in this state they expect and must have, if they would come here, food and Te- freshment, and even liquors served with the food. They are people ac- customed to having what they want. Mr. Plant keeps this hotel not for what it brings in, but for the convenience of his guests, He does not depend upon any profit if there is any profit. He gives away probably each vear more than the hotel takes in. Mr. Banks said he favored the amendment because he felt that in his town which votes no-license, a hotel should have a summer license if it is of the same character as Mr. Plant’s hotel, and if it is to be granted under the same con- ditions as those proposed in the bill Representative Phillips of Stamford favored the bill. 7 Against Progress Downward. Representative Belden of Newington opposed it, as it would tend to upset the license laws in no-license towns. He thought liquor would be sold in a hotel whether it had a license or not. Representative Peck of Stratford said that some people’s idea of progress is to get an automobile and_ “booze” and “booze” all the time, Sundays and week days. He was against progress downward. ‘There are no restrictions against Sunday selling. Representa- tive Banks said there is the usual res- ervation as to selling on Sunday. He said that Mr. Peck is from Stratford and is also trial justice, and the place where people go to from Bridgeport to get liquor on Sunday. “Why be a hypocrite?” he asked. Mr. Peck inquired where the partic- ular place was, and Mr. Banks told him that he was in a party one hot Sunday recently when one of the party inquired if they could get anything to drink, and the answer was “Yes, any- thing.’ Representative Peck said that the duty of Mr. Banks as prosecuting at- torney was to bring such lawbreakers before him and he could assure Mr. Banks, there would be no mistrial. Caine Amendment Passed 73 to 69. Representative Sherman of West Hartford favored the Caine amendment and not the Plant bill. Upon vote, the Caine amendment was adopted, 75 to 69, and the bill as amended passed, $7 to 60, and was. sent to the senate. CONNECTICUT TEAM WAS IN FIFTH PLACE Result of Twe Ranges at Camp Perry, Ohie. Forty-two teams representing the regular service and the states and territories began shooting in the na- tional team match for the Congres- sional_trophy, the Hilton trophy and the Soldier of Marathon trophy at Camp Perry. Two ranges were com- pleted, the 200 yard slow fire and the 200 yard rapid fire. A heavy rain- Storm broke over the range just after the shooting commenced, lasting until afternoon, making it necessary to dis- continue firing between 9 o'clocl: and noon. ‘When the teams left the 200 yard slow fire range, the United States ma- rines led the army infantry by four points, the relative standing of the highest teams being: Marines, 512; fantry 508; Wisconsin 506; Pennsyl- vania 505. The order of the teams was materi- ally changed after the completion of the rapid fire at 200 yards. The in- fantry made the high score of 555 and forsed ahead, léading with an aggre- FIFTY HOUSES ARE WIRED FOR ELECTRICITY.

Learning that several small parcels of land out the fort tract were to be covered with unsightly and unsuitable buildings, a movement was siarted some. time ago to hold these lands. A sort of syndi- cate was forned by Anna . Warner Bailey chapter and a few outside friends. The desired properties were purchased and are mnow to become state. property through the generosity of Bailey chapter and these other friends. The presentation will be made by Capt. John O. Spicer, who is trustee for, the syndicate which bought the lan8, It will be transferred by the,| presentation first of the deeds to Mor- ton F. Plant of the tract commission, who will in turn present them to Go: ernor Baldwin, representing the state. Another presentation of land will follow. This presentation will be made by Miss Addie Thomas, regent of Bailey chapter. This land is what was Latham street. It is the gift of Mrs. Cuthbert H. Slocomb, formerly a member of the commission. The borough closed up Latham street to vehicular travel some time ago, and it is now a fine passageway to the fort for pedestrians. Mrs. Slocomb, after purchasing it, had stone steps with iron handrails on either side placed there, and has had the ground graded. This street is | called Mantry’s hill. It was down this hill that the British sent a wagon- load of Yankees, most or t-em meet- ing their death as the wagon crashed down the incline. Ernest E. Rogers of New London, member of the commission, will then make a statement of the work the commission has done in bringing about the improvements, After Mr. Rogers' statement the audience will sing America and then taps will be sounded. That will end the formal programme and inspection of the fort will follow. Governor Baldwin will be taken all around the tract and shown the changes which have been made there.

City Builds and Maintains Courts There. Roque Springfield, -with its six courts at Forest park and four or five others in different parts of the cith, savs the Springfield Republican, about as well equipped for roque as any city in the country. The Forest Park Roqu club is rapidly arousing enthusiasm i the game, and most evenings durin: the summer the local quota of players may be seen enjoving themselves at the park. The city built the courts and maintains them, the authorities having recentiy finished thre> new ones with _concrete borders, which are said hy experts to be excellent for the exe- cution of carom shots. In the matter of players, Springfieid has produced some stars, a statement that is borne out by the fact that Ed- ward Clark recently won the national championship at Norwich, an honor that he had won once before, and L. B. Whitaker finished first in the second division at the same tournament. Other g00d players are to be found in this city, some of them playing merely for the ‘fun of the game and not caring to enter the national tournaments. St is possible that there will bz a state tournament here this fall. In the opinion of roque players of this city, the Republican goes on to say, Edward Clark, who won the na- tional championship recently, is the | reatest roque player in the country. Mr. Clark is but 18 years old, and has been playing since he was 12. He won the championship once before, and this year wrested the honor from Mr. Bos- worth, another great player, who de. feated Clark last year. to get balls through the arches in a way that other players fail to make when they try it Mr. Clark has many more years of playing ahead of him and he shoild win the national cham- pionship in future years. Sixteenth Regiment’s Reunion. There were 70 veterans in_attend- ance at the reunion of the Sixteenih regiment .at Hartford on Tuesday. G. Q. Quigley was made life secretary Mrs, E. W.

For the second time this season the excitement” of a fire, even though a small oge, was furnished at the Alice building on Tuesday afternoon. An awning. over one of the office windows was_the object of the devouring flames, which originated from:burning tboacco from the pipe of a visitor in the wgom above. Water and brooms were brought into effective use, but the fire was not extinguihed until the awning had gone the way of its pre- decssor earlier in the year. Lucy Lee Swope, niece of Colonel H.
