IDERING NEW MEASURE Propose to Vest Right of Nomi Confirmation by General ination in Governor Subject to Assembly—Hewitt Confirmed For Groton Judgeship—Objection Raised Because He is Not a Lawyer—Futile Effort to Save Latimer. Hartford, Conn., April 30.—The judge- ship problem came into the senate dis- cussion on resolutions appointing sev- eral judges of minor courts in concur- rence with the house. Its bearing was upon the report current that several democratic senators were anxious to hold up all judgeship appointments antil the Bridgeport and New Haven ity court contests had been Settled. If there was any intent to maintain a so-calleg holdup it was dissipated by the statements of Senator McDonough, he majority leader, yesterday, that e would not permit constructive leg- islation to be interfered with by any factional contest over a judgeship. Two Judges Confirmed. Thereupon the judges for two courts were confirmed. ~Today more resolu- tions of this nature came up. In the Manchester case Senator Purcell had | asked that the resolutions go to the foot of the calendar, over the protest of Senator Cheney, republican, who wishea for an expianation, and also remarked that Senator McDonough's | statement that he would not let polit- ical comsiderations interfere with an unanimous commiitee report sounded a trifie strange. Delay in Manchester Case. Mr. McDonough then said his state- ment should be held true in the Man- chester judgeship. Senator Purcell had come to him and said that cer- tain things had come to his attention regarding conditions in that court and be would like time to make inquiry. Mr. McDonough said that the com- mittee took the position that it de- eired all possible information in re- gard to the court conditions and as Senator Purcell had said he wished to look into conditions it was only right that he be given the opportunity. For this reason he would not oppose Sen- ator Purcell's request and would agres o delay. Senator Cheney said he was mfl;fled with Mr, McDonough's at- e The Ansonia Judgeship. Cn_the resolution to appoint Sen- ktor F. M. McCarthy judge at Ansonia, n place of Judge Munger, who is a republican, Senator Landers made a statement saying that he wished his position understood distinctly and that while he intended to vote for Mr. Mc- Carthy he reserved the right to dis- mt from voting for any or all the others. He said he believed that the governor should have the appetoRive | power. Senator McDon: replied that the eommittee had before it a bill to give | the power to the governor and he, per- gonally, had consulted with Governor Baldwin about it. The governor had aid that whatever appointments were | made should such a bill become law, | the judiciary committee would have | to do its wokk all over again in pass- | ing upon appéintments that might be | made.

POLICE CAPTURE THE SUFFRAGETTES’ OFFICES All of the Leaders Arrested on Charges of Conspiracy. London, April 30.—The British home office today inaugurated a more active campalgn to put an end to suffragetie militancy.

Over 100 policemen detectives from Scotland Yard were engaged in the capture of the militants’ offices. They had scarcely taken possession of the place when “General” Drummond, apparently ignorant of what had hap- pened, arrived and was admitted, not realizing that she had voluntarily en- tered the lion’s den until she found herself under arrest and on the way to Bow street police station, where she met Miss Annie Kenney who had been caught elsewhere and five other ac- tive officials of the soclety. How {the Coreans Talk A Corean convert committed to memory the Gospel of Matthew. When he was asked how he did it he replied: “I had great difficulty in making the text stick, but one day I decided that as I read it and tried to commit it by memory I should practise it verse by verse upon my neighbors, and I found that as I practised it somehow it _stuck.” When a Corean wishes to know whether he should take his medicine before or after meals he says, “Shall I put this medicine under my rice or on top of it?” A Corean Sabbath sckool secretary in his report instead of giving the average attendance gave the average absences.

TO BE NO MORE DELAY Vote Will Be Reached in Senate Today —Substitute for Original Bill, But More Drastic Against Jap Farmers. Sacramento, Cal, April 30.—An open Fight of way for final action in the Bsenate tomorrow morning on the Webb anti-alien land act was prepared to- day by the floor leaders in the upper house, and before tomorrow a concreta expression of the legislature'’s attitude toward Secretary of State Bryan's diplomatic visit will be at hand in the shape of a vote on the most drastic land holding act yet proposea No Further Delay. Secretary Bryan spent the day in San Francisco, not returning until to- night. It was not known whether he had received further instructions from President Wilson regarding his propo- sition to the legislature. In his ab- sence the original plan to permit no further ‘delay was carried out and when the senate adjourned tonight the ‘Webb bill, which stands on the file as the accepted substitute for the orig- inal Thompson-Birdsall measure, was due to be reached within a few min- utes after the upper house convenes tomorrow morning. Most Drastio Bill Presented, A long debate is not improbable and a few amendments may be offered, but they will be resisted with the = full force of the administration leaders, who stated tonight they exjpected the act to be passed in its present form. There was wide discussion of the new Dill today, although but little criticism was forthcoming from the standpoint of California. In comparison with various drafts that preceded it the Webb act is said to be more drastic and effective in reaching the Japancss farmers of the etate than any other proposed measure and at the same time least objectionable of all from an international point of view. Not Approved by President. Senator Thompson declared tonight that the bill provided for “the immedi- ate and direct solution of the Japan- ese problem” and to this extent it is the most rigid and uncompromising measure that has been suggested. Senator Thompson ‘denied that the wording of the act, or any part of it, can be taken as a concessior to the objections of Secretary Bryam, and Governor Johnson stated today that from what fie understood of the situa- tion the measure did not have the ap- proval of President Wilson. Bryan's Plea Unheeded. California’s first step towards the enactment of an allen land law con- trary to the advice of Secretary of State Bryan and President Wilson was taken last night within three minutes after Becretary Bryan told the legis- lative conference that his official mes- sage had been spoken. The senate, before which the Birdsall-Thompson bill was pending, met in a hurried session, and within three minutes vot- ed to substitute for that measure the new draft known as the Webb act, which was completed by _Attorney General Webb vesterday. The substi- tute wae adopted as an amendment and the bill sent to the printer with a rush order. Features of Webb Bill. The phrase “ineligible to citizenship” 18 avolded in the Webb bill by provid- ing two descriptions of aliens and de- fining the rights of each, as follows: 1. All allens eligible’ to citizenship may acquire and hold land in the same manner as citizens of the Unlted States. 2. All other allens may acquire poseess and transfer land “in the man- ner and to extent and for the purposes prescribed by any treaty now existing Dbetween the government of the United States and the natlon or country of which such alien is a citizen or sub- ject.” PRESIDENT SILENT. Desms It Prudent Not to Discuss Sit- uation at This Time. ‘Washington, April 30.—Inquiry at the White House today as to What might be President Wilson's attitude toward the Webb bill with its affirma- tive clause permitting “all aliens eligi- ble to citizenship” to acquire land in California, on which California legls- lative leaders are now sald to be agreed, brought the information that the president deemed it prudent not to discuss at this time the negotiations | toward an adjustment of the contro- versy. The president let it be known that the entire subject was in a delicate status and that it was necessary fur- ther to etudy the proposals of the California legislative leaders before the position of the national govern- ment could be announced. It is be- lieved that the Japanese ambassador will be sounded out as to the probable Teception of the Webb bill in Japan, nd the legal officers of the state de- partment may render an opinion as to Whether the language now employed could be construed as a_discrimina- tion or ‘- conflict of treaty obliga- tions. There is no disposition at the White House to regard Secretary Bryan's mission as having been completed. Mr. Bryan probably will stay on _the ground until the whole matter is defi- nitely cleared up. It is regarded as probable that the president {mmedi- ately upon the return of Secretary Bryan will begin consideration of a general policy for the treatment of the mportant question of the extent to which the natlonal government may or should go towards enforcing the treaty rights of allens within the states, The negotiations with the Japanese gov- ernment which are expected to follow the action in California probably will be the moans of developing this policy. The president may deem it advisable to undertake the negotiation of a new treaty of trade and commerce witn Japan, end though it ip realized that agroement on such a eonvention, sat- isfyin> to Japaness pride, yet perma- nently guarding against a Japanese “invasion,” would De great diffienity, soms of' the omclals are inclined to the belief that the thing ean be done, fiYale Senior Gharged with Theft.

Danielson, April 30/—At their lonely home near Cotton’s Bridge in the far northwest corner of the town of Kil- lingly, William Lambert, colored, aged 60, Wednesday shot, stabbed and club. bed his wife Julia, a helf breed, 33, to death in one of the most brutal cases in the history of Windham coun- ty. The wreck of the body brought to a local undertaker’'s indicated what a terrible passion the man must have been in when he committed the crime. Broke the News Himself. While according to Lambert the crime was committed about four or five o'clock Wednesday morning, no one outside the tumbledown house in which the family liv thing about the affair unil the fternoon, when the first intimation of what had happened came from Lam- bert himself.

Overlock of Pomfret, saying that his wife was in a critical condition on injuries. Babe Clinging to Dead Mother. This statement arouseq the interest of Mrs. William Darling and Miss Hil- da Hipakka who went to the Lambert home and looked upon a scene that froze the blood in their veins. Lying on the bed in her room they saw the Dody of the woman with a seven months’ old_babe dripping with blood its parent's wounds, clasping_ at its dead mother's breast. The horrified ones could do nothing but give assist- ance to the three small children until | Dr. Overlock arrived on the scene in his automobile some time later. Lambert Did Not Know Wife Was Dead. The doctor immediately sensed the situation and driving to the telephone from which he had received the mes- sage, notified Coroner A. G. Bill of what had bappened. Coroner BEill tel. ephoned word to Deputy Sheriff Mich- ael Grimshaw at Attawaugan and that officer, with his son Michael and Emery Anderson immedlately set out for the Lambert place. By the time they reached there Lambert had returned, evidently not fully realizing, that time, what had happened, as it is thought that he did not belleve that his wife was dead. He made no re- sistance to arrest and eventually was brought to Danielson 2nd locked up in the police station here. Bought Whiskey at Dayville.
