VOL. LV.—NO. 25 NORWICH, CONN., 29, 19 S —— PRICE TWO CENTS The Bulletin’s Circulation In Norwich is Double That of Any Other Paper, and lts Total FILES CHARGES AGAINST MacONALD Governor Asserts That Highway Commissioner is Extravagant and Has Neglected Duty PAPERS LODGED WITH THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL Judge Samuel O. Prentice, a Graduate of Norwich Free Acad- emy, Promoted to Chief Justice of Supreme Court of Errors—Governor Jumps all Superior Court Judges by Appointing New Haven Lawyer to Supreme Bench. Hartford, Conn. Jan. 28 —Attorney General John H. Light admitted to- night that papers had been lodged with him by Governor Baldwin containing charges against Highway Commission- er James H, MacDonald, and asking for the latter's removal from office. The admission on the part of the at- torney gemeral came as the culmina- tion of many rumors to that effect in circulation about the capitol today. The Law in the Case. Mr. Light would give no hint as to he charges, saying that he had not had time to look the papers over. According to chapter 298, section 3, of the public acts, passed by the last legislature, the governor when he 1§ of the opinion that any highway commis~ sioner has been guilty of misconduct, material neglect of duty or incompe- tence, he shall transmit all such facts with "the attorney general. The lat- ter shall then make such investigation as he shall deem proper and shall pre- pare a statement in writing of the charges against the commissioner, commanding him to appear before a judge of the superior court and show Ccause why he should not be removed. Committees Organized. Legislative _committees . organized and the general assembi. to business of its 1913 se Several members who did not like their committee assignments took the opportunity in the house to tell Speak- er Webster what they thought of the selections and although the speaker was the subject of a sharp attack, he did not reply. Highway Commissionership. In the upper branch the interest entirely centered around the office of state highway commissioner, owing to the known opposition to Mr. Cadwell, whose name the governor is expected. 10 send in first thing tomorrow. The committee on_executive nominations will have to make its report within three legislative days, and should there be a Friday session the debate upom the nomination may be expected then, or if the session goes over on Thurs- day 1t will come, if it does come, on Tuesday next. Republicans Claimed for Cadwell. In spite of the opposition which his Deen manifested among Sog> demo- crats to confirmation of Mr. Cadwell, it was freely predicted today that only iwo democratic votes are likely to be cast against Mr. Cadwell. Democrats favorable to Mr. Cadwell went so far as to predict that several republicans will be found voting for the governor's nominee. Superior Court Judges Jumped. In naming Justice Samuel O. Pren- tice to be chief justice in place of Jmstice Hall récently deceased, the governor confirmed general expecta- tions. He provided for filling of the vacancy created on the supreme court benth by taking John K. Beach of New Haven from the ranks of practicing lawyers, and thereby passing over the judges of the superior court and the iminor court without awarding a pro- motion and also took two practicing lawyers fr the superior court to fill vacancies as they occurred through retirement owing to age limitations of Judsee Ralph Wheeler and Marcus H. Holcomb. Mr. Tuttle of Hartford, is one, and James H. Webb of Hamden, the’ other, the latter being a. profes- sor in the Yale Law school and prob- ably the first Catholic elevated to the superior_court bench in Connecticut. Two Clerkships Filled. The remaining clerkships were filled selecting William H. Blodgett of insted for clerk of bills, and E. M. Yoemans for engrossing clerk, the lat- ter being a democrat. Mr. Yoemans had been a candidate for the clerk of the senate, while Mr. Dutton, who was another candidate, is serving as assist- ant to Senate Clérk Wynne. Fob. 7 Last Day for New Business. Senator Landers secured passage in the upper branch of a resolution iixing February 7th as the lest day for in- troduction of new business and the house s expected to agree to this Eo that commitico hearings will be in order week after next. Although many bills and resolutions have been put in already the number is far be- low expectations and the older mem- bers are inclined to believe that less Dbusiness will be introduced than in the last three sessions. Criticism of Speaker. In the house during the speeches ~made by several members over their commitiee appointments Representa- tive Wilson pointed out that the cities had not fareq well in selection of members of the committee on cities and boroughe. Speaker Webster did not reply, but afier adgournment he stated that members evidently lost sight of the fact that a cities and boroughs committes made up of city representatives would have™~ been Viewed with some curiesity by mem- Dbers of the towns and matters they re. ported might have been viewed with suspicion, for there would be some members’ who would think the com- mittee was' favoring cities as agalnst the towns., He thought the welfare of the cities was safe in the hands of members who live in the towns and the city representatives were certa securing cooperation of the coun- y town members on the committee’s orts, P Mileage Question Not Brought Up The mileage question did not come up during the session.
