Hartford, Conn., Sept. 19.—Never be- fore was such a proceeding as that which was witnessed in the senate chamber this afternoon recorded in tha zislative history of the state. It sur- nded the governor's veto of the snnecticut River company’'s charter @:nendment which had previously been rassed in the house over the veto. The senate had cleaned up its business ex- t the matter of tha governor's veto the resolution which dominates the clarter amendment of the Connecticut Ruver company and what has been called the Judson amendment. Twe Gratuities Proposed. The senate was about to adjourn w nen Senato fitchell asked for a lit- tie delay, as the main bill was coming over frem the house, having been passed over the veto. Whil: waiting, Senator Barnum put r in a resolution to pay Albert C. Bald- +in, the engrossing clerk, and George ¥ Hinman $300 each for “special ser- Yice. Lack of Quorum Disclosed. At once a dozen enators who Have ®pposed _gratuities -started for the G0y Senator Woodruff. who was t the tion, stayed inside, icall which had been cordered had been called he doubted th2 vote. This disclosed a no-quorum, and the chair, after Senator Spellacy had yointed out that the adjournment could be in the nature of a short re- ecss, ordered recess until 2.30. Senator Hooker's Resolution. When time came for reassembling there was not a quorum. The gover- Tor's veto was taken up. Senator ¥iooker put'in this resolution: “Resolved by this senate: That the lawyers and lobbyists in the employ of the Connecticut River company b excluded from the floor A the ante-rooms of the senate rinz the pending action of the senfits 5n the Connecticut River ompany charter amendment.’ Scores Lawyers and Lobbyists.

Thz able senator from the Twenty- £fth (Judson) is above corruption, but be was influenced by them. We all k2 the picture a few days ago when these lawyers stood on both sides of him at hie desk over there during tha éebate and dictated the only amend ment we are allowed to pass.

Then Senator Hooker was sent ©out te “drag in” missing senators, He returnsd saying that none of them vould recognize his authority. Mr Hooker, it is said, ran into Senator 3farsden. who declined to respond to Pleas to join the feithfu! inside. Wanted to Leck Senators In. Senator Spellacy said that Mr. Flooker's resolution should recognizs the lawyers on both sides. Mr. Fooker #aid it did, for it mentioned all those %o had anyihing to do with the Con- mecticut River company. On the question of a quorum the chair an- nounced a recess. When the senate came In again there was no quordm nator McNeil insisted on an effort made to “pulf in” senators who were in the corridors. President Pro Fem. Woodruff was ord:red to appoint ® committee to g0 out and get sena- tors. Senators Peck and Mahan were nt out. They rounded up Senator Emun and escorted him to his seat ator Fenn jumped up and asked Rhe chair tc order the door kept closed % no member could zo out. Spellacy in Belligerent Mood. Senator Spellacy defied the chair to maks any such order. He said that i Mecessary for him to go out he wouid o in =pite of anvone on the door who might attempt to stop him. He suid he was ready, however, to stay until 7 p.

Mr. Speliacy, howeyer, said he want- od to “cnice mu% taking “up. the Senator Bavsums bad rot expected it ‘would coms up and he had arranged witn Senator Peck to have the matter tabled. It would be a violation of senatorial _courtesy to Dbreak that agreement. It would also be unfair to consider the matter in his absence, as Senator Barnum was the chairman of the committee and was in- terested in it. He wanted the matter made the order of the day for tomor- row. Speilacy Retires in Disorder., The senats was against this, and Mr. McNeil said that pending the arrival of a quorum—for he had heard that several senators were coming in—he wanted the matter discussed. He thought Senator Fenn could explain it. As he was speaking Senator Spellacy rose and went out a side door, banging the door after him and making the glass rattle. Spellacy’s Inconsistericy. 5 Senator Fenn said that the matter had been ail explained. As for Sena- tor Barnum's presence being needed, all that senator had ever said was that favored the charter amendment and thought it ought to pass. There was no use, the senator thought, to do any action because Mr. Barnum was not theré. He pointed out that Senator Spellacy had only two minut2s before that declared his intention of staying until evening to dispose of the matter and vet “he had gone out, slamming the door behind him.” An Iniquitous Measure. Senator Hooker said- that this was the most iniquitous measure which had ever come before any legislature. He was in favor of staying all night in order to get a vote, and even of send- ing the sheriff out to bring in the ab- sent senators. “We must get a quorum which is not under the control of the lobby in the employ of the Connecticut River company.” “Almigihty Dellar the M. e Power.” Mr, Mahan said he could not express adequately - nis -disgust-over the situa- tion. 5 said there was only one mo- tive behind this excitement, and that was “the power of the almighty dol- lar!” He said that here was a Dropo- sition worth millions of dollars and bere also is a bill which is desisned to give away this franchise withont safe- grarding to the stats a single doliar's Worth of benefit. The governor in his wisdom has peinted this out. The senator said it was his opinion that 48 hours after the passage of the amend- mwent the franchise would be sold to parties outside the state for o big sum, but it would not bring so much if there was attached to it a franchise tax of two or three per cent. Hooker Makes an. Explanation. Senator Hooker then rose to a ques- tion of parsonal privilege which he said would explain some things about the attitude of Senators Spellacy and Bar- num. He said that all remembered the delightful party recently when'the sen- ators werée the guests of the senator from the Eighteenth (Mahan). He said that Senator Jugson had appointed a comittee consisting of Senator Wright and himself (Hooker) to see the others and zet subscriptions with which to purchase remembrances for the officers of the senate. Each contributed $10 or 315, and with tha money the com- mittee’ bought loving cups and other articles for the officers. Who Bought the Loving Cups? He said that at the dinner it wouid be recalled substantial gifts were given to the senators from the Third and Thirty-first (Speliacy and _Barnum). Afterwards some of the senators de- manded of the committee a reason for spending money on these gifts. “We tried to explain personally that the committse did not buy those gifts with mceney collected of the senators,” said Mr. Hooker. “Some of the senators thoueht it was queer that those gifts Were given at that time, but that was ncthing to do with the committee. Tha g fts were engraved as coming from the senate. They did not come from the semators as represented by the certributions “Tha committee as & committee here repudiates that it had anything to do Witk the transaction.” Matter Goes Over to Today. At this point the question of a quo- rem was raised and the chair ordered a recess until 4.15. Upon reassembling the matter was put over until tomor- row. NEW HAVEN JUDGESHIP. House Selects Samuel E. Hoyt and Senate Moward C. Webb. Hartford, Sept. 19.—The house this afternoon chose Samuel E. Hoyt, pros- ecuting attorney in_that court, judge of the city court of New Haven, there- by re-opening the question which had taken 8o much of the time of the leg- islature a few months ago.

After the senate acted there was discussion in the corridors 5 to whether or not Mr. Webb had been elected in concurrence, the house pre- viously having been in his favor with senate ior Judge Mathewson.

Sept. | 19.—It wa; tkought for a time lats today that the three days’ hunt for the supposed murderer of Harry.H.

LAURIER AND BOURASSA SPEAK JN FRENCH DISTRICTS, RECIPROCITY WAS THE ISSUE Both Enthusiastically Greoted — Bourassa Tells His Auditors That Reciprocity Wilf Lead to Annexation. —§— Montreal, P. Q. {Sept. 19.—The pop- ularly termed “reliprocity. ign,” Which has been the most bItISHY Gon- tested in the history of the Canadian- regions and has made Dominion poli- tics as never before a matter of world knowledge and interest ,was brought practically {0 a close tonight, when enormous catdoor meetings in_French districts of this city~were addressed by two leading and strikingly contrast- ing figures in the contest, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Henri Bourassa. Both Greeted With Enthusiasm, Both the premier, who has been reci- procity’s most prominent exponent, and the national leader, whose unique opposition and propaganda _probably have done more than anything else to increase the number of question marks set against names of constituencies by political forecasters,” were greeted with the enthsuiasm typical of the politically susceptible French element of Montreal. Reciprocity the Supreme Issue. That reciprocity is the supreme is- sue, not only of this campaign, but of Canada's development, and that next Thursday’s balloting affords an un- precedented opportunity for acceler- ating 'the Dominion’s development of its ‘Wonderful resources, while assur- ing simultaneous benefits to the Unit- ed States as to the other party to the agreement was the reiteration of Sir Wilfrid in his appeal for continu- ance of his government regime. Bourassa Cries “Annexation!” That reciprocity is undesirable, but not the most vital factor involved in his opposition, was_insisted -upon by Mr. Bourassa. FEventual annexation of Canada by the United States, if not by force, certainly as a result of pre- liminary commercial assimilation following reciprocity, the folly and worse of the government legislation for the nucleus of a Canadian navy, and the neeessity of perpetuating va- rious rights and advantages enjoved by the French-speaking population of the ' Bominion, especially in Quebec province, were also important factors, he asserted. HOOTED AND. HISSED. Laurier Has Disagreeable on Way to Take Montreal, Sept. 19.—Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier, who made several speeches here tonight, left Montreal, followed by a storm of hoots and hisses from the followers of Bourassa, nationalist lead- er, The latter on conciusion of a speech in’ the Ontario rink proceeded h his followers to the Placeviger station, where he delivered another short ad- dress. A Storm of Jeers. ‘While Bqurassa was talking, the premier and his followers arrived, Sir | Wilfrid Laurier being on_his way to catch the 11.45 train for Quebec. The nationalists espied the premier, and, remembering the heckling and’ jeers which_their leaders had encountered from the liberals on his recent tour, broke into a storm of jeers. No per- sonal violence was offered, however, end the premier got away according to. schedule. Police Called Out. Following this deménstration clashes occurred between the followers of Sir Wilfrid_and Mr. Bourassa, and so threatening was the aspect that the police were cailed out.
