Hartford, April 22—That there is much interest in the appointment of minor judgeships was made plain on afternoon, when the old su- perior court room in the state capitol was filled to capacity with people in- terested in the seiection of judges for the town courts of Huntington and Stonington and the city and police courts of Seamford, Putnam and New London. Michasl Kennealey appeared in advocacy of the retention of the present judge of the Stamford city court, and during the course of his ad- dress said it was evident that partisan Politics were being injected into mat- ters judicial, but he doubted if the committee so considered. McDonough Admits Partisanship, Senator McDonough, chairman of the judiclary committee, that was giving hearing on the resolutions appointing judges, replled: “Yes there sure is partisan politics, but it was not orig- inated by the present committee, and had prevalled for years and would not be dropped just at this time” He asked Mr. Kennealey if he knew of a minor judgeship that was occupied by a democrat, adding “that is proof suf- ficlent that there has been partisan politics in the selection of minor court Jjudges.” Three New London Candidates. | The candidates for the police and | city court of New London are Judge William B. Coit, the present incumb- ent,; Charles E. Hickey, democrat, and Nathan Belcher, democrat. Judge Coit summoned the following delegation ot New London to appear before the committee in his behalf: Ex-Mayors James P. Johnston, George F. Tinker and M. Wiiton Dart, and Messrs, Frank V. Chappell, Ernest E. Rogers, P. Hall Shurts, Henry R. Bond, Graham His- lop, Robert R. Congdon, George T. Brown, Thomas E. Donohtle, Lucius E. Whiton, Frank Q. Cronin, William J. Brennan, Lewis Crandall, Danlel M. Cronin, C. Hadlal Hull and Michael Kenealey. Those who sppeared in the Interests of Charles E. Hickey wers Judge Ar- thur B, Calkins, Frank L. McGuire, ex- Mayor Cyrus G. Beckwith, Willlam T. Connor, Senator A. T. Miner and Rep- TFesentative James R. May. Representative A. P. Tanner repre- sented Nathan Beicher. Hull Urges Coit's Reappointment. C. Hadlai Hull conducted the hear- fng in the interests of William B. Coit. He said he was not in the game of politice expect to exercise the right of Buffrage. He was acquainted with the police court and favored the reappoint- ment of Judge Coft, who had been the Judge for ten years and to the satistac- tion of the people of New London. He said it was purely a court of criminal Jurisdiction. He said the position re- Quired a man of age, experience and abili which Mr. Coit possessed. Not Speaking as a Partisan. Senator McDonough asked if any ‘man could gain experience if not given opportunity, and Mr. Hull replied that| he certainy could not. Continuing, Mr. Hull said he had nothing to say as to the qualifications of the other candi- dates, but he believed ~the reappoint- ment of Mr, Coit would be for the best interests of New London. Mr. Hull said personally he was a member of the republican party, but was inde- pendent in politics and was not speak- ing as a partisan. Petition for Coit Presented. Mr. Hull introduced a petition bear- ing a number of signatures asking for the reappointment of Judge Coit, which contained the names of members of the bar and business men, end the del- egation present reflected the general character of the citizens favorable to Judge Coit, which included democrats as well as republicans. Mr. Hull also read letters from A. T. Hale and ex- Governor Thomas M. Waller favoring the retention of Judge Coit. “Give Us Coit for Ten Years More.” Ex-Mayor Wilson Dart told the com- mittee that while on the way to the station in New London he met four fellows who asked him where he was Zoing. He told them he was going to Hartford to try and have Judge Coit retained. They told him in &0 doing he not only represented himself, but the ‘whole of New London. Mr. Dart sai “You gave us a million for our harbor, and you gave us favorable considera. tion of the woman's college: now give us Coit for judge for ten vears more, and we will be snuggled down and con- tented.” Ex-Mayors Tinker and Johnston and Lucius E. Whiton spoke in favor of the reappointment of Judge Coit, and prajhed his fitness, ability #d integ- Tity. New London Never Had Democratic Judge. Frank L. Hickey, representing the iInterests of Charles I2. Hickey, placed him in opposition to his friend and partner, Mr. Hull, in this particular matter. Mr. Hull had said that some of the signers of the petition and mem- bers of the delegation were democrats. In this he did not agree. He supposed Mr. Waller was a democrat, but the others referred to were perhaps demo- crats onec, but that once was a long time ago. Mr. McGulre told the com- mittee that Mr. Hickey was born in and always lived in New London, was educated in the local schools and grad- uated from the Yale Law school, and had been practicing law in his native town for twelve years. The speaker said e, 00, was born in New London, . and there had been no democrat judge . of the police court within his recollec- + tion, and he believed there should be a change, inasmuch as the - democratic v wrs especially strong in New * don, Mr. Hickey is a qualified law- of Judge Coit and Lawyer Charles E.

Floras, Department of Lozere, Representative Tanner said he was in a peculiar position. He informed the | committee that no agreement had | been reached whereby Nathan Beicher | was to withdraw. He said effort had | been made in that direction, but with- | out result, and therefore he was some- what emberrassed. He said he agreed with all that was said favorable to Mr. Hickey, as he had nothing but the bighest praise for his character and ability, and added that he had sincere friendship for him. Mr. Tanner said | that in the early part of the session | he recelved the Belcher resolution for | presentation, and held it several days | for deliberation and consultation democrats, and the name of Mr. ey was not mentioned. He presented | i the resolution and considered himself as honor-bound to stand for Mr. Bel- | cher. He said he had tried to reach an agreement just before the meeting opened, but failed. Mr. Belcher had gone home, and Mr, Tanner considered he should stand by Mr. Belcher so long as he was a candidate. If Mr Belcher could be reached he would ad- vise withdrawal. Having pledged him- self to support Mr. Belcher he consid- ered he was doing his duty The Putnam Contests. Hearing was next given on resolu- tions appointing ML K. Teissler dep- uty judge end J. Henry Mann, Lucius Fuller and Eric Johnson, judge of the city court of Putnam. Senator Weich, Representative Besettl and Compirol- ler Dunn, of Willimantic, advocated the interests of Mr. Mann. Represen- | tative Macdonald of Putnam spoke in favor of Mr. Telssler as deputy judse to whom there was no opposition. Few Democrats in Putnam. | State Attorney Charles L, Searls | spoke strongly in favor of tiie reten- | tion of Judge Lucius H. Fuller, refer- ring to his abllity, integrity, honesty and satisfactory conduct of the court. Mr. Searls said if local politics were to be comsidereq in the appointment, Mr. Fuller ghould be retained, as there were but few democrats in Putnam, not enough in the town to appear be- fore the committee to urge the claims of the democratio candidates, so Wil- limantic furnished the communication. Several others spoke In favor of Judge Fuller. The Stonington Candidates. The resolution appointing Wurtem A. Broed and Herbert W. Rathbun, judge of the town court of Stoning- ton. Attorney Ellas B. Hinckley spoke in support of Mr. Rathbun’s candidacy. He informed the committee that they would not be burdened with politics in the Stonington matter as both can- | didates were republicans. He said Mr. Rathbun was & self-made man and was a lawyer of kmown reputation and experience and had formerly served as judge of the court to the | full satisfaction of the people of Ston- ington, He sald the majority of the townspeople were favorable to the ap- Dointment of Mr. Rathbun.’ He knew | the law and had the faculty of ex- | it in detail.

Hartford, Conn., April 22.—The gen- eral assembly today put in its hardest day’s work of the session, the mem- bers getting a taste of th labor which will be its Jot from now on. Scores of important matters are pressing for con- sideration, and the need of both after- noon and evening sessions was pressed in the senate. The latter body decided to glve consideration tomorrow and Thursday to favorable reports and cal- endar matters, leaving all unfavorablo reports, unless there is some reason for their consideration, on the table for disposal on Friday. Motion for Night Session: In the senate Senator Landers of the Bixth district will tomorrow in- troduce a motion calling for a night session Wednesday night.

In all parts of the city thousands of school children paraded the streets, tieing up traffic at a number of busy points and necessitating the calling out of police reserves to maintain order, Lafe in he afternoon when the demonstrations of the children had | | | | | | | 1 | | offered another amendment providing for repeal of charters of companies which have not actually commenced business within six months after in- corporation if they have not paid their | taxes. As was the case at the two previous sessions, the provisions of the bill—which is practically identical to previous bills—wero bjected to scrutiny by senators, and when other amendments were suggested the bill was tabled Changing Big Bills on Trolleys. The finance ommittee reported a | general Dill under which towns and boroughs may issue bonds without go- ing to the legislature, the bill being similar to that under which cities may issue bon Another measure which | has the endorsement by pl r: two political parties, that of municipal abbatoirs, was favorably reported.

License Transfer Amendments. Senator Isbell handed in two amend- ments relating to changes in the law of license transfer. One provides that county commissioners may issue a transfer when time intervenes between the appeal and the time of court ses- slon at which the appeal is to be heard. This would prevent vacating of the license. The second amendment, of- fered as a substitute, provides that re- monstrance against a transfer shall be specific,;and if affidavit is requested by the commissioners it must be filed within ten days or the remonstrince will be considered as having been withdrawn. Barber Commission Survives. The house rejected the excise bills unfavorably reported to Increase the price of a licenes and to lmit lcenses 1o one in 1,000 of population. It pass- ed, however, the bill defining the clos- ing of saloons on election day, The bill repealing the bounty on foxes was passed, the argument in its favor be- ing advanced that red fox skins are now becoming valuable, provided the animal has reached maturity, Under the bounty law many foxes were kiled young, The effort to abolish the bar- Dber commission was ended for the ses- slon by the heuse taking the same View of the subject and rejecting the favorable report of the eommittee, Committee Hearings.

St. Louls, April 22—Because she feared ghouls, Marie Komnmichau, aged 49, buried her mother and her sister in the cellar of her house in South Broadway.

My sister died of heart trou- ble and from taking too many head- ache powders. My mother died of old age. Before my mother died sho made ster and me promise that we would not take her body out of the hou so the undertakers could get her. We had no docter for her—there has not been a doctor in our house for ten years and a doctor could have done mother no_good. “I put her body which we took from the notion store and poured plaster of paris around the glass and cracks to keep the air out. We kept the show case containing the body upstairs in a rear room. No one knew, for mone of the neighbor: had paid any attention to mother and they did not inquire about her. When sister died, I knew that peo- ple would ask about her, and that it neighbors found out 1 was keeping her body they would ask about mother, too. So I told the neighbors that mother haq died and that Selma had taken her to Illinois for burial. “Then I took both bodies into the basement. 1 laid them on the base- ment floor, and poured plaster of paris and eement over them.” Marie said that she needed help in removing the body of her mother from the show case, and called in a Ger- man woman who was passing the store and whom she never saw befors, “She was clumsy,” continued Marle, “and was no help. I told her she need not stay, I never saw her again and I don't know whether she told any- one.” W d by Feared id in a show case, WAR FEARED BETWEEN BULGARIA AND GREECE, Greeks Are Mobllizing All Available Soldiers Near Saloniki.
