C e B:llhchide-mehSeope. “Hartford, Conn., Feb. 26.—Aside from the postponement of consideration of the governor’s momination of. a high- ‘way commissioner until Tuesday next the legislative session today was de- void of interest or business. Immedi- ately thereafter, however, committees began to take up bills with avidity. The combined labor and judiciary commit tees sat in the house on the workmen's compensation bills, the manufacturers of the state having the opportunity‘to ‘be heard. A Old Stumbling Block Appears. Before The afternoon session ended, to be resumed tomorrow, the great stumbling block of last session i leg= islation of this kind made its appear- ance. It was the inclusion of farf help and the manufacturer who em- employs less than five hands in the provisions of the manufacturers’ bill ‘Agriculturists are exempted under the state_commission bill and the federa- tion bill. Last session a bill was de- feated by narrow margin by the mem- bers from country towns for fear that the inclusion of farm help would en- tail great injury to the welfare of the employer. John Eccles Explains Commission Bill Upon resumption of the hearing John Ectles' of Norwich, a_manufacturer and co-laborer with Mr. Russell in pre. paring the commission bill, spoke briefly in_amplification of what Mr. Russell said vesterday and to point out that the bill seeks to meet conditions which émployers face and of which he, as a manufacturer, was well aware. Col. Albert Pope of Hartford follow- ed briefly with reference to the manu facturers’ bili, and Howell Cheney of Manchester began a careful review of the bill he had assisted in drawing. Provisions of Manufacturers’ Bill. This bill in brief provides that all classes” of labor shall be included; that employers not accepting the com- pensation features of it shall not be relieved of the common law defenses in suits for damages for injuries; that acceptance does not subject them to suits for damages except by employes who, before injury, have refused to be bound by the act. In this latter case the employer has the benefit of the three defenses of fellow servant, con- tributory negligence and assumed risk. No compensation is allowed for the first two weeks after injury, but after thirty days the employer must pro- vide proper medical or surgical ald for an employe injured. Similar Law in Massachusetts. In event of death from injury, the manufacturer would pay $100 for fu- neral expenses and 50 per cent. of the employe’'s weekly wage to dependents for a period not exceeding 300 weeks after date of injury. There are pro- visions for payments for partial and total incapacitation. The bill provides the necessary machinery for carrying the law into effect. The act is option- al compensation and follows the form in use in several states, including Masesachusetts. Inclusion of Farmers. Mr. Russel! then questioned Mr! as to reasons why farm labor included, and this brought on quite n little discussion on exemption of 1 labor. Samuel Beardsley of ton, representing the soclalists, asked ir it would not be possible for mmen in _the legislature to band to- gether to defeat a bill which includes %ph O. Wells replied for Mr. Che- ney, saying that he had greater respect for 'the intelligence of members than to suppese that they would vote to im- pose on others burdens which they themselves would not assume. He said he repudiated any such feeling tow- arde the present assembly. Bill Defeated by Autoists. He said that a farmer who can em- ploy five or ten hands was just as able to pay compensation and to buy lia- /bity insurance as the manufacturer who_ employs the same number of hands. Representative Healey of the com- mittee asked if it were not so that the Dbill - last . session was defeated Dy farmer members. He had tried to get a bill through. Mr. Wells replied that he did not think this was so. The bill was defeated because of a circular sent-around in which it was set forth that automobile owners were liable to heavy loss under the bill. Dr. Atweod Attacks Commi Averill. Of the other hearings that before the committee on appropriations, in which Dr. F. G. Atwood attacked the esti- mate of Commissioner Averill, was the livellest. Mr. Averill had explained his figures in his departmental estimates, which included $14,000 for condemned cattle for two years and allowance for the deputy commissioner, which office was created by the last assembly. Dr. Atwood opposed the estimates, chiefly that relating to deputy commissioner and extra assistance, saying that he believed that if there were a deputy he should %o out to examine cases in- stead of the commissioner deputizing someone at the place and then paying the latter a fee. State a Cesspool for Diseased Cattle. Dr. Atwood made a verbal attack upon the commissioner, calling him “highly inefficient” and “highly -inca- pable.” ‘He added: “Connecticut is a cesspool for diseased cattle. Why, if youwant to ship a horse to New York by rail or boat you have got to pro- duce a 'veterinary's certificate, while here you can bring in anything with- out that being required.” Clean Bill of Health by Governor. oner “Didn’t the governor give him a clearr bill of health?’ asked Senator Stevens. “I cannot answer that ‘yes' or ‘mo’ without qualification. When I pre- sented the statement of facts to the vernor, and it cost $700 for the hear- ng, I expected the prosecution would at least interview local health officers and do its part in getting at the con- ditions. It was not for me to do the prosecuting.” WHAT INTERESTS OTHER 'NATIONS Tales of Twe Churches. The desertion of the churches offers a problem which does not seem to be locally limited. Instances, some of them pathetic or tragic, are not few. Affairs at Holy Trinity Church, Brompton, Chatham, England, are steadily becoming worse. A few Tmonths ago the vicar and his curate were holding servic every morning in a dilapidated edifice, in the presence of a congregation numbering less than a dozen. On a recent morning Rev. H. J. Martin, the vicar, and Rev. C. H. Muspratt, the curate, read morning prayer in the presence of a congrega- Children éry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA THE FENTON-CHARNLEY BUILDING CO., Inc GENERAL CONTRACTORS NORWICH, CONN.

And at the close of prayers the vicar an- nounced that the state of the church was such that he was unwilling to preach a sermon. The organ was si- lent, and there was no attempt at singing. Under these circumstances the beautiful liturgy of the Church of England sounded strangély. A more melancholy religious function could not be conceived. The whole scene was one of abject desolation. Some of the windows have scarcely a whole pane of glass in them: the pews are thick with dust, and there are seven holes in the roof, through which the water pours after a rainstorm. Nothing is done to warm the building. The churchvard is also neglected. At eleven o'clock the vicar was to be seen with a broom sweeping the dead leaves out of the porch. and after he had completed that duty he rang the bell, for there is no verger. Then came the dismal “service” above described. Yet in the parish of Brompton, of which Holy Trinity is the church, there is a popu- lation of 6.782 persons, and it is grow- ing rapidly. Holy Trinity is a fine stone building, put up about seventy ‘years ago, when the new parish was carved out of those of Chatham and Gilllngham, 1t is in the gift of the Hyndman Trustees. But the parish- loners refuse to attend. One morning no fewer than twenty banns of marri- ages were published by the vicar. But church work in the parish is at s standstill, and has been for months past. A problem of a different des- cription has been facing =a Baptist church at Pontypool. The controver- sy between Rev. Daniel Hughes and the deacons reached a climax last month. Finding the church building closed, the gates pad-locked and a notice posted cancelling the day’s services, the pastor broke the locks with a hammer and forced a way Into the church, where he conducted a service. About six months ago Mr. Hughes was interrupt- ed in his sermon on two successive Sundays by a member of his church who disagreed with the Aoctrine he preached. Since then the church has been ‘divided in its allegiance to Its pastor, and lately the members of the chareh, by a majority of twenty-one Votes, decided to call for. Mr. Hughes's resignation. This he declined to ten- der. He aise refused to attend a mest- Jng of the deacons to receive three months’ salary in lieu of netice. On a Sunday evening the deacons learned that Mr. Hughes intended to baptize a Rumber of people whose names had not been submitted to the church. A special meeting of deacons was immed- iately held, and at their instructions late that evening a padlock and chain was fixed to the three large Rates at the church entrance. All the windows and doors were also secured and on Sunday morning the following notice was posted on the main doors: ‘“No services will be held today. On Thurs- at 7.45 P. M. a special church s will be held.” Shortly before the hour. for service to begin Mr. Hughes arrived. A number of mem- bers of the congregation and others had already assembled. The pastor at once climbed over the high railings surrounding the church, tore down the | notice on the door, and affer trying the padiock on the gates and the locks on the doors, he mounted the steps at the main entrance and addressed the érowd. He wanted to do everything in mor, he sald, The officers and dea- had taken a most unwarranted and illegal step in locking the gates. The first intimation he had was on the ous evening, when he received a stter from the chureh secretary stat- ing that, owing te his uawarrantable and uneemstitutional esnduct in ar- wm. fer a baptismal ' service on dey- evening witheut reference to the church, the ehurch was closed chreugheut the day. He had coasulted excellence. lllll:'l', ma'va LY} LI AR e - A% ma v my ) (DU B I R name and address. The pastor then climbed the railings again, obtained a large hammer, and amid applause from the spectators smashed with the ham- mer the padlock on one of the gates, and the lock on the gate. He threw the gate open and proceeded to_the vestry at the side of the church, where he smashed the glass door with the hammer and then entered the church. } He found that an additional lock had been attached to the front door, but again he used his hammer, the assem- bled crowd poured into the church, and the pastor then conducted the service. Mr. Hughes spent the whole day in the church and was supplied with food there. In the evening he conducted a | baptismai srvice and delivered an ad- dress. He said he had fought the deacons to the limits of the law, and he would break down any barriers put in his way, a he had done that day. A resolution of confidence was passed by the congregation with only two dissentients.

Consequently the dominating feature of the city will be the Houses of Parliament, situated so as to com- mand extensive views and to be prom- inently visible on approach from the surrounding country. Full advantage has been taken of the effect of great natural features of the site to intro- duce public buildings and other archi tectural features wheére they may be clearly viewed at convient distances from the approaching streets and ave- nues. The prospect of the city from approaching railways and roads has also been kept in view. Wherever pos- sible the cardiral idea of securing sun- light to- the city bloeks by planning them at suitable angles to the meridian has been observed. Within a stone's throw of the centre of political life space has been assigned for the vice regal and other offielal residences, the public efMces, the university, technical and training colleges, a high scheol, and cathedrals and eother places of wership for ihe different denemina- Uens.
