Hartford, Conn., March 25.—The work of the gemeral assembly revolved around the Corbin nomimation in the senate today. Comparatively little business was on the clerks’ desks in either branch and for the first sel day of the week few reports weré sent in by committees. In the upper branch senators were kept in suspense as (o whether or not Senator Landers for the cornmittee would report upon the governor’s nomination of Mr. Corbin for tax commissioner. ently while the calendar was being disposed of Senators Landers and Isbell were in conference. : Democrats Secure Delay. ‘With everything else out of the way Senator Landers finally submitted the unanimeous report of the committes fabvorable to Mr. Corbin. There were three empty seats, all of democrats. and Semator Purcell, fearful that ha could not obtain & mejority of the 32 votes present on a motion to reject, at once moved to delay action. This led to sharp debate in which so-called senatorial courtesy which the demo~ crats had denied to Senators Perry. Isbeli and Reynolds last week on the county ecommissionership resolutions was invoked. On this ground chiefly action was put over untll Thursdiv noon. John J. McPartland for factory inspector was confirmed. Miner Declares for Corbin. After the senate session the demo- crats got together to decide on their method of procedure. Senator Miners announcement that he would vote for Mr. Corbin ‘‘and efficiency” had indi- cated that the democratic majority vas disappearing. In the caucus a vote passed to have Governor Baldwin invited to address it tomorrow on the matter of Mr. Cor- bin’s nomination. The governor had been in attendance at a meeting of the trustees of the state agricultural col- lege and did not know of the caucus action at the time the latter broke un It ie presumed that he will see the democratic senators. According to the latter the secondary grievance over the nomination is that Governor Bald- win did not consult with the demu- crats in the senate over the nomina- tion. Cerbin’s Confirmation Seems Assured. The primary reason announced for opposition to Mr. Corbin is that the latter is a republican. The confirma- tion of Mr. Corbin seemed assured this afternoon, although those in oppositior. Say that the caucus tomorrow will again bind its members to reject the nomination. In the house the only aection of striking moment was the rejection of a bill to change the season for hunting rabbits and wild hare and limiting the bag to five a day to each hunter. The bill had been reported favorably. The present status of game measures 1s that the committee has recommended no in the present season on birds, and 2 change in the season on duck, geese and brant so that fifteen days are taken off September and add- ed to January. This is expected :o pass, as hunters admit that a January bird with its plumpness is better than the skinny bird with pinfeathers in September. The open season on dcer has not yet come in. Opposition to Peace Celebration. Of the many afternooen hearings. that in the house chamber was best attended. It was on the governor’'s recommendation” that the state appro- priate money for observance of the centenary of peace between England and the Umnited States. No one favor- c@ the bill. The opposition was strong and came mostly from Hibernian and German organizations. The chief ar- gument advanced was that there had not been a hundred years of peace with England. that that latter country ‘had not failed in all the intervening vears to show her hostility towards this country. Captain TLawrence O’Brien read paragraphs from a pre- pared statement which embodied lib- eral quetations from British news- papers showing their hostility to this country and their alleged slanderous references to some of our great presi dents, including Lincoln. He left his statement with the committee. Never Will Be Peace With England. C. J. Danaher of Meriden made the most eloquent of the several argu- ments, declaring that there never had bLeen and never would be peace with England. He declared that England rever kept a treaty made with this country and in conclusion read from the “Life of Orville H. Platt,” in w h tke senator had given his expressi.n of the faithlessness of Great Britain in_carrving out its treaty obligations Many men spoke urging the commit - tee not to recommend any appropria- tlon for any such purpose as the gov- ernor recommended. LEGISLAT The committee on cities and bor- | oughs will give hearing today (Tues- day) on an act amending the charter of Groton and authorizing it to man- ufacture and sell gas.

The committee on education will give hearing today (Wednesday) on an act concerning the pensioning of school teachers in the hall of the house of representatives. It is expect- ed that there will be a large attend- ance at the hearing. On Thursday the excise committee will give hearing in the hall of the house on an act concerning the granting of licenses, limiting the same to one to each 1000 inhabitants instead of to each 500 as at present. On Wednesday of next week the | committee on new towns and probate districts will give hearing on an _act | concerning annexation of Sunny Side and Norwich Town to the city of Neor- wich.

The committee on claims made un- favorable report on the petition of George Holdredge of New London for | reimbursement of a horse that died from injuries inflicted by members of the Second regiment, Connecticut National Guard, while that command was encamped at Niantic, two years ago. Holdredge is the owner and driver of a bakery outfit and was held up by some soldiers, who were on outpost duty. While Mr. Holdredge was selling his cakes and cookies to some of the soldiers, others cut the harness, cut the horse’s mouth and injured the animal so seriously that death resulted. When Mr. Holdredge appeared before the committee on claims he was informed that inasmuch as he had faileg to file his claim with the attorney-general within ninety days after the occurrence, as required by statutes, no consideration ecould | be given the claim. The bill emanating from the New l.ondon Cemetery assoeiation which provided for the exemption from tax- | ation of cemetery property, was re- ported unfavorably by the committee on finance to the house, where the biil originated. It was veted to accept the report of the committee and reject the bill. At present all property used for cemetery purposes is exempt from tax- ation. It was explained that the New | london association held in trust the | Barker & May building in State street that brought a rental of nearly $2,000 annually. The proceeds of this build- ing were willeg by the estate of B. F. ‘Beckwith, to the cemetery associa- tion to be devoted to building a memo- rial walting station in Cedar Grove cemetery and for the general improve- ment of the cemetery. At the hearing a parallel case was given in the Man- waring Hospital association that is now building a big business biock in New London and which is to be ex- empted from taxation under the char- ter. The proceeds of this building are to be devoted to the Manwaring hos- pital for children, yet to be establish- ed. The committee’s policy is against exemption from taxation no matter how worthy the cause. The committee on agriculture made report that was favorable for an ap- propriation for the North Stonington grange fair, but recommended refer- ence to the committee on appropria- | tions. By statutes the grange was en- titleg to the sum of $200 for .the fair given in 1811, but through misunder- standing claim for the amount was not made within the reguired tlme. The appropriation for 1912 was received and now the grange seeks to recover the $200 due for the fair of 1¥11. It is very evident that the members of the legislature are aout quite ready IVE LORE for the holding of sessions on Fri- days. In the house Tuesday, Mr. Lewis, of Roxbury, made motion that when the house adjourns next Thurs- day that it be to the following Friday at 11.30. Mr. Aleorn said that exper- iment was tried two years ago and was a flat failure. Mr. Hall consid- ered the motion as premature and that if the need of a Friday session was ap- parent next Thursday then it would be time enough for such a motion. Mr. Koppleman of Hartford advocated two night sessions a week, but was op- posed to Friday sessions, but he. did not know how that would strike mem- bBers from other plae Mr. Kirch- berger of Morris said would strike him as a solar plexus blow. When the motion was put there was not a vote in favor. Immediately after the rising of the | 26, 1913 ‘house, the democrats went into caucus and, in the absence of Mr. Thoms, of Waterbury, the democratic leader of the house, Mr. Caine was chosen chair- ‘man and Mr. Koppleman clerk. Mr. Bree of New Haven explained that the object_of the caucus was for the pur- pose- of giving consideration to mat- ters contained in the democratic plat- form, which included the gnethod of election of county commissioners. It was voted to adjourn to Wednesday and the chairman was instructed to appoint a caucus committee of eight, one mempber from each county. Mr. Caine will notify the members of their appointment on Wednesday morning. YANTIC ¥ ‘PPENINGS Body of Dead Laborer Buried Uniden- tified—Teachers Complain of Negli- gence of C. V.
