ADVERSE REPORTS ON SUNDAY BILLS ©Only One Finds Favor With the Judiciary Committee, and . That Applies Particularly to Hartford Situation—Sever- - al Senators Evince Determination to Fight For a Liberal Sunday Measure—Purcell Bill Tabled. - e artford, Conn., April 8—The Sun- day question was forced into the leg- islative foreground today when all bills, save one, which aimed to liberal- ize the Sunday were unfavorably re- ported from ‘the judiciary committee either to the house or senate. The exception is the Gross bill to permit eoncerts parks and recreative sports of a minor character in the same. restricted areas when authority is .given by the afithorities in charge of ‘the ks. The bill fits into a sit- uvation which has been peculiarly Hartford’s for in no other city in the ‘$tate has a proposed programme of Sunday concerts under municipal au- -#pices been outlined as in this city, and:'the carrying out of that pro- gramme been stopped by one of the old blue laws. ‘. To Fight Liberal Sunday. ~ Senator McDonough made the issue a_live one before the assembly by #tating that the Gross bill was as far.as the committee would go. Sev- ‘eral- senators were on their feet n protest at once and in the debate which ' followed it was evident that Sen rs McNeil, Landers, Purcell and . J. McAlpin Johnson are ready to fight for a bil which defines the Ssbbath and which will permit works of mercy and necessity and the sale »f _necessaries of life. Rather than Purcell bill unfavorably reported was tabled and will be used as the medium of ‘possible enactment of a liberal Sunday bill ‘ {cating that a congestion of measures | of United States senators. | were mnot strictly | states fack amendments on the Gross bill, the | Bill Aimed to Aid the Poor. The Purcell bill follows the lines of the Lattimer bill of the 1909 session and the Spellacy bill of the 1911 ses- sion in that its chief object is to help those poor people who, in summer, are compelled to live out of stores for their Sunday food Ssupk because they have not the facilities to keep 2 supply of a perishable nature from Saturday until Monday. The open- ing of certain stores in Hartford has been a much discussed Sunday ques- tion and those who ars anxious for a S$unday bill to pass al- rea are referring to the distress which poor people I‘ill undergo in the heat of summer owing to the di- minished ice supply. Direct Election of Senators. The chief feature of the day the ratification by both branches of the federal amendment to the consti- | tution providing for popular election Party 'lines drawn in the house for nearly two score republicans join- ed the democrats in favoring the measure, and its immediate passage in the senate without effective opposi- tion placed Connecticut in the posi- tion of making the amendment effective by i action, thirty-five having taken the same action. Mueh business of a minor character was reported from committees adding to the size of the calendars and indi- is threatened in both branches. WHAT INTERESTS OTHER NATIONS Increasing “War Alarms” Reports from the seat of war indi- ‘sating a renewal of Austria’s purpose to interfere in the game may be inter. preted in several ways. First of all, the growing military spirit of all Eu- ropeen governments involves larger ap- propriations and increased taxation, propositions which are not enthusias- tically received by the taxpayers. Man- ifestations of v?pouiuon suggest the need of a few vigorous “war alarms” by which patriotism is stirred to the screaming pitch, knockers rooted and the necessary appropriation passed with & whoop. A plan of this sort is much needed in Germany just now, where the Reichstag is painfully uncer- tain on military measures and money lenders shy at Prussian bonds- Austria 1s Germany's side partner. Austria undoubtedly is of- fended at the outcome of thg Balkan war; but its protest agains' Servian assistance to Montenegro in the capture of Scutari does not lend the shadow of a hope of ultimately realizing the dual monarchy’s dream of reaching Saloni- ki. The Greeks are settled there for the present. Besides, the powers have L to make Albania an independent state under their internationai control, Ziving the Balkan states guaranteed trade rights to a port on the Adriatic. Viewed from the hrxg;amtaria.n side the protest may have for itsobject preven- tion of the destruction of the besieged city by an inecreased force with siege guns. But against the probability of a making war over the fate of ‘cateri may be placed the unlikelihood of the aged Emperor Francis Joseph, at the close of his reign, pluging Eu- rope into a devastating war. Home Rule’s Second Round “The British Pariiament has settled down in regular session to the dreary task ‘of reconsidering and repassing the ¥rish home rule and Welch church dis- establishement bills. Both measures mawving been rejected by the House of Yoords, go through the usual course of new bills, but with much limitation of samendments and debates. To bring them safely within the two-year limit from introduction to final passage and the life of the present Parliament, the mecond round must be completed in May, 1914, This calculation assumes the present Parliament completes its full term of five years. There are strong indieations of & desire to effect a com- promise on thess measures and efforts NOVEHL “PICK-ME-UP” GROWING IN FAVOR. “Stimulation Without Reaction” Found in Cup of Hot Bouillon.

The Younger peers realize that the obstruc- tive tactics of the irreconcilagles mere- 1y del: but will not defeat enactment. Other al national questions press for consideration, but are sidetracked and aluable time wasted in partisan tac- tics. These considerations are gaining supporters and are lik to result in an adjustment satisfactory to the ma- ority of the tory opposition before the ear ends. Three years ago a tenta- tive adjustment of the home rule is-. sue had-been reached by a joint com- mittee of the two leading parties, but was overthrown by the tory ‘“last- ditchers,” prompted by the hope of win- ning at the general election. The chasm between the two houses is neith- er wide nor deep and may be quickly bridged, especially when delay avails nothing. Famous Land Grabbers. largest and most unscrupulous dynas trust in the world today 1is celebrating the three-hundredth anni- versary of its start in the ruling busi- ness. When young Michael Romanoff, founder of the present dynasty, was elected czar back in 1613. the Russia of that day was a mighty small speck on the map. But Michael and his nine- teen successors developed an insatiable appetite for land, steadily increasing their real estate holdings until now the Romanoff household controls 8,666,000 square miles of territory, or onme sixth Lof the gzlobe, with a population of ap- proximately 160,000,000. Yet the Ro- manoff appetite is not satisfied. North- ern Persia is as good as assimilated, Finland is on—the times of the fork, and northern Mongolia is being pre- pared for a feast. For centuries the dynastic steam roller moved with re- sistless force over rebellious tribes, op- posing peoples, and weaker nations, marking its trail of expansion with crushed human lives from the Baltic to Bearing sea. Checkmated jn some di- rections the Romanoffs bided their tim2 and eventually won. Japan drove'back and checked the Slav advance to the China sea, ten years ago, but who will say the halt is permanent? If bulk continues greatness, Russia is the won- der of the world. Yet the Romanoffs are not joyously happy. Great Peters dream of land fronting on an iceless sea is unrealized and Czar Nicholas’ waking and sleeping hours are haunt- ed by revolutionists and hounds. A Palace Of Graft. The modern Palace of Justice in Rome, just completed_at acost of $12;- 000,000 and worth about $4,000,000 is developing an orgy of graft rivalling the Pennsylvar tate capitol scandal. A discarded mi of one of the con- tractors, in a spirit of revenge, placed in the hands of the authorities, bundles of receipts for money paidsto the of- ficials who had control of the job and those in position to know and exacted as the pr of silence. A parliament- ary commission is digging into the pu- trid mess. Several arrests of promi- inent government officials have been made, and not a few have fled to cooler climates.

Ancient historic associattens revived, national ambitions checked fof gentu- ries realized and recompense for the military disasters of 1897 are the cove- ted prizes Greece secured tharough the fall of Janina. The capture of the city was specigl cause for rejoicing, more so than the capture of Saloniki. Though not a populous city, it is an important trading and distributing center for all the mountainous terri- tory in southern Albania. Control of the city restores an acient province to its racial founders and gives to Greece all the territory south of Alban- ia fronting on the Ionian sea. PROFESSOR OLSON IS ACQUITTED OF MURDER. Shot Laundryman Whom He Desfared Wrecked His Home. St. Paul, Minn., April $.—A jury tonight acquitted Prof. Oscar H. Ol- son, formerly of the University of Minnesota farm school, who was charged with the murder of Clyde N. Darling, a ‘laundry driver. Olson’s defense was that Darling wrecked his home. Darling, according to the testimony of Olson and his wife, met Mrs. Olson secretly for a year. Then Mrs. Olson confessed to her husband, who warned the driver away from his home. One pight Olson while sitting in the kitch- en of his home saw Darling try to en- ter the door. He fired updh the In- truder and" killed him.

Hartford, April 8.—There was a largely attended hearing before the commiitee on public health and safe- ty Tuesday afternoon that opened at 1 o'clock and 'closed at 5, and was among the most interesting hearings of the session. The hearing was onan act amending the medical practice act, that would eliminate the treatment of | cancer, and was framed for the special | benefit of Dr. A. Stanley Maine of Dayville, in the town jof Killingly, and | who formerly resided in Mystic and; Westerly. Dr. Maine was not mep-' tioned in the amendment, as that; would be class legislation, but left it oper. so that other than medical prac- titioners might treat cancer. Attorney Herbert W: Ratibun spoke in favor of the bill and conducted the | hearing in the interest of Dr. Maine, | who is a native of North Stonington.: Attorney Rathbun said the medical profegsion considered the treatment of cancfr a grave question, and relied upon the knife, the X-ray and a caustic | for treatment. Patients feared the knife and X-ray and the burning and painful caustic, as all were considered painful and dangerous. He safd Dr.| Maine had treated successfuly many cases of cancer in New Lordon and Windham counties. He used a paste that did no harm, containing no pois-; on. It removed cancer and patients were restored to nomal health, and, sald Attorney Rathbun, this treatment is unknown to the medical profession. | He presented 25 photographs of cases treated by Dr. Maine, showing before and after the treatment. That be-/| cause of the opposition of medical so-|{ cietfes and fear of prosecution, Dr.. Maine had refused many suffering peo- | ple who came to him for treatment, as it ‘was against the law for him to practice, as he was not a graduate of | a medical college. Among those who spoke in favor of the bill were’ Representative W. P. Kel- ley of Killingly, John Kleey of Noank, | who had heen successfully treated for | cancer which had been diagnosed as: such by three reputable New London surgeons; John Perry of Danielson, who was completely cured of cancer; Frederick Leffingwel] of Norwich, an- | other successfully treated patient of! Dr. Maine: E, W. Keech of Ashford,: who declared that Dr. Maine saved his | life. Judge Harry E. Back of Killing- 1y testified to cases treated by Dr.| Malne with success that came to his; knowledge of patients in New London and Windham counties. State Attorney Hugh Alcorn of Hart- ford conducted the opposition, repre- senting the Connecticut Medical so-| ciety, and Dr. O, C. Smith of the Hart- ford hospital and Dr. E. B. Hooker of | Hartford spoke in opposition. Dr. Hooker declared that if Mr. Maine had such a wonderful cure for cancer he; ought to publish it to the vorld in the| interest of humanity. He said that; any graduate of a medical college could | treat any cancer that had been treated by Mr. Maine much more skillfully and | with even more success. The hearing then closed.
