Hartford, Conn,, June 4.—The gen- eral assembly of 1913 was adjourned without date by order of Governor roclaimed at an end ty State Albert Phillips late s afternoon, hours before the consti- would have cut it off by limi- aldwin and 1lso many hours ahead of ime members expected it to, duc , small measure to a report given v d that adjournment be made &t 4 p. m.

It is t much of this left-over busi- without merits, but there w 5 o in 1 ness w were 1 things_in which members had deal of interest, and some had aroused much controversy. There was some bewailing among members > had lost out on pet measures, and ere was an exchange of sympathies wi all around. Governor Addresses Assembly. The interest in the adjournment w the address of Governor Baldwin, in which he reviewed what had been dons in constructive legislation and where- » the members had failed to do their highest duty. On the whole, the gov- thought the assembly had done The Governor’s Address. The governor said in part: “Mr. President, Mr. Speaker and &entlemen of the General Assembly: The members of the general assem- Iy of 1913, as they meet today in joint nvention and meet to part may be rly congratulated on the general aracter of the laws which they have cted. Had their time not been so much occupied with the distribution of local offices and the consideration of local and special legislation, an ad- Journment could readily have been had & month ago. “It seems to me that there is cause for sincere regret in the rejection of the amendment to our statutes, which would have placed the nomination to the bench of our municipal courts in the hands of the governor: and also of the constitutional amendments, proposing mendment to our constitution to iude the appointment by fal mblies of their own mem- in office. Have Taken the “You have given ate to the Initiative. the assent of this amendment of the consti- tion of the Uniteds States, which enceforth will place the choice of United States senators directly in the nds of the people—a measure which can hardly fail to make Tor the pub- He good You have also taken the Initiative in suggesting to congress the proposal | to the states for ratification of anoth- er amendment to that insrument which, if adopted, the election of the president of the United States by a rect, popular vote, would be secured; and secured without varving the num- ber of votes to be credited to the re- spective states in the final count. Relaxation of Ancient Sunday Laws. “This session will long be remember- ed in the history of Connecticut for its in framing and enacting a work- compensation act. It is a care- fully considered statute; perhaps none the worse because in some respects it represents a compromise between differing views. to be wisely planned with respect to the clasges of employers and employee which comes within the scope of its operation. mable relaxation of our unday laws vou have recog- mized the general trend of public senti- ment in our times, and relieved our osecuting officers from an occasion reproach for sometimes seeming to {olerate acts forbidden by statute, and manctioned by the prevalent opinion of the community Principle of Home Rule Extended. “By an act giving general powers to cities and boroughs you have made it no longer necessary for such munici- palities to apply for special acts to enable them to issue bonds within reasonabie limits, and have also given them power, with the afd of the local referendum, to revise their own charters from time to time, in some of the most material points. The prin- ciple of home rule has been thus more fully vindicated “You have by vour enactment of a general law for the incorporation, un- der certain restrictions, of banks and trust companies, put an end, it is to .be hoped, to the flood of applications for special charters for those purposes which have served heretofore at al- most every session to clog the wheels of legislation, and when _successful have often had their main effect in put- ting into the hand of a few favored individuals a marketable commodity. Liberal Provisions For Highways. “You have relieved futhre general semblies from the consideration of many applications from particular charitable institutions for ‘rellef from the burden of legacy taxes, by grant- ing a general exemption in favor of &ll of them. This is likely to have an important and enduring effect in pro- moting charitable ' bequests. “You have made a liberal provision for the jmprovement of our highwaya, fettered by no unnecessary conditions. You have for the first time in the his- tory of the state enabled any of our citizens who contemplate entering in- to the marriage relation in a forelgn country to know with a certainty how the ceremony may be legaily perform- ed. 1 think that only a single state, al credence that the governor had | in | joint convention went- through the governor, with one aide, the| te officers and his executive secre report of the house committee on | future | It seems well calcu- | lated to attain jts declared object, and | ’ Massachusetts, has preceded us in that direction. Many Useless and Pernicious Meas- ure: “I cannot but think that our con- stituents would have been better pleased had it been determined to keep | the expenditures of the state during | the last two years within its probable | revenue. “I congratulate you on your rejec- tion of a large number of useless and pernicious Teasures which have been pressed upon your attefftion. The work of a legislative body is to be judged on the negative, even more |than on the positive side. Its best |achievement is often found in resist- ing the efforts of jll informed or ill in- tentioned men to secure legislation of a kind that seems better than it is.” The adjournment was preceded by two hours of hurly burly in _the house, with Speaker Webster, Republican Leader Healey and Democratic Leader | Thoms doing their utmost to keep the members down to stern business. Attempt to Revive Newspaper Graft. In the senate the close was a sedate one, with the galleries empty. Soon after the noon recess Senator McDon- ough took the seat of Senator Miner, which was the first and nearest chaic on the left side from the entrance, where he could keep track of the transmission of business between the two branches. Only a few matters had been passed on the senate calendar in the morning, and when it became evi- dent that the house would leave a hundred matters unacted upon, he moved that all senate matters re- maining be referred to the next gen- eral assembly on adjournment. The last effort to get a piece of busi- | ness through was that of Senator Nee- be in offering a resolution to pay newspapermen their usual gratuities. | Senator McDonough ‘was instantly on his feet in protest and the resolution. fell with a thud. only Senator Neebs voting for it. The senate was the first one in a great many years to turn down these znd all other gratuities. State Er.ployes Under Civil Service. In the bustle of moving business fast, memibers had little idea of what was being done in the closing min- utes. Majority Leader Healey in the house had control there, however, and when he so desired a biil or resolution went to the foot of the ‘calendar with little ado. Anyone who tried to get a measure off the foot of the calendar or the table Lad little chance of suc- cess. Every measure adopted went at once to the senate. Without debate the house -adopted the bill providing for a state civil ser- vice commissicn and placing all stat> employes exccpt those especially ex- empted under civil service rule. This was in concurrence and members had not dreamed it would go- through the | house without opposition. Tt was Sen- ‘ator Perry’s most ambitious measure next to the direct primaries bill, Highway Appropriation of $3,420,000. The house adhered to its action in passing the hizhway appropriation bill and rejecting the good roads bond bil:, This means that both branches having passed the appropriation bill, which carries $3,420,000 for the department. it becomes law, and is what Governor Baldwin calls ample funds for the de- partment wori. The amendment to !the bond bill which Senator McNell offered, repealing the $3,000,000 appro- priation, fails, as it was rejected by the house. Pinboys Under 55 Hour Law. The bill to allow school children be- tween 14 and 16 to work in vacations went through both branches, and ths senate adopted the house biil placing bowling alley boys under the 55 hour law. The senate reconsidered its ac- tion and in passing and killed the bill | which would have allowed children to have work around dangerous machin- ery. An attempt | pay doorkeepers 15 mail carrier $25 were opposed by Mr. Healey and voted down. A bill for $800 for the stenographer of the incov- | porations committee was rejected be- cause it was thought to be irregular, the comptroller furnishing this assist- ance. resolutions to extra and the to pass , _ Many Presentations. Spéaler Webster withdrew and was brought back by a committee and thanked for Alling the office 80 accept- ably. Tn the end he was given a goll watch as the token of the house. To this the speaker repli The thanks of the members to Clerk Sabin Russell and Assistant Clerk John Buckley were accompanied by stickpins. Chaplain Parsons received thanks and a pair of gold cuff links. Silver loving cups went to Representative Healey. the majority, and to Representative Thoms, the minority leader, after pres- entation speeches by Representative Evarts of Milford and Representativa Avery of roton, respectively. The messengers and doorkeepers wera thanked as well. A portrait of the speaker was ordered hung in the speaker’s room, and then the resolu- tion for a joint session was adopted and the senate notified. Increase for Common Pleas Judge. In comparison with the lively do- ings downstairs, the senate business was done_quietly. Part of the time Senators Landers and McGrath were in the chair. The bill increasing sal- aries of the civil side judges of the common pleas courts of New Haven. Hartford and New London counties went through in concurrence. The $60,000 approvriation bill to carry out the workmen’s compensation law was adopted In concurrence. as was the bill increasing the state bond issue bv $4,000.000. making the total $10.000,000. By this means it will be possible’ for the state to Iseue more bonds with tha same plates as used for the bond fssua previouslv authorized and this wHl save $5.000, The state perk commission bill and the general validating act were adopt- ed, as was that glving Waterbury a single taxing aistrict Measures Rejected.

Central Village, Conn.,, June 4.— County Commissioner Charles E. Bar- ber died at his home here this after- noon about 2 o'clock. Mr. Barber had been in poor health for nearly five years, but he was able to attend to h:s private business and to his duties as a public officer until about four weeks ago,when he was confined to his home. ‘Although he was seriously ill, his con- dition was not regarded as critical, and his death came rather suddenly and as a surprise. Mr. Barber was born in Exeter, R. I, April 14, 1843, the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Barber. When about 10 years of age e came to the town of Plainfield and had since lived there, becoming one of the most prominent citizens. For about 32 years he had conducted a hardware business at Cen- tral Village with much success. In 1897 he was a representative to the legislature from the town of Plain- field. At the time of his death he was serving his fourth term as a county commissioner, an office which he had filled for 14 years. As_a commissioner he made a very excellent record and was regarded as one of the most able and proficient commissioners that the county has ever had. He was a member of the boards that wiped out the debt of the county and that established a busi- ness policy that has made possible the surplus that the county has today, this in conjunction with other able county commissioners. In the town of Plain- fleld Mr. Barber was very highly es- teemed and was active and prominent in all public affairs and connected Wwith every movement that was for the betterment of the town. On June 11. 1889, at Plainfield, Mr. Barber was married to Hattie T. Tit- fany, who survives him. There are no children. Mr. Barber was a member of Moosup lodge of Masons, Warren chap- ter and Montgomery council of Daniel- son, Columbian commandery of Nor- wich and Sphinx temple of Hartford, all Masonic organizations, also of Pro- tective lodge, I. O. O. F., and of Adel- phi lodge of Central Viliage. uel P. Baker for reimbursement for military property lost. When it was seen that the house would not con clude its business, resolutions were put in thanking everybody who had held an office. Senator McNeil earlier had risen to deny the report that some newspapermen had been taken care of in gratuity form In expense bills of the appropriations committee. He sald that his committee bill of upwards of $1,200 expenses was for clerical as- 'sistance, and Senator Steven corrob- orated this. Adjourned Before 6 p. m. A resolution to have the portrait of the lieutenant governor made and hung in the anteroom was adopted. Clerk Wynne had a spell of embarrass- ment as he heard his work praised and his ability termed that of a veteran. ‘When the doorkeepers and messen- gers were thanked the lieutenant gov- ornor remarked that it was ‘“cheaper to thank them than to pay them $150 each extra.” The senate recessed until the house was ready for the joint convention. The proceedings were over just be- fore 6 o'clock. BUSINESS UNFTN!SHED. Matter Which is Left Over for General Assembly of 1915, Hartford, June 4—Just how much business went overboard today in the general assembly is not known. It is thought that committee chairmen had many bills left over witich were not re- ported. The election of Thomas Coughlin to be judge.of Bridgeport will remove Judge Foster, republican, from that office, but will leave Frank L. Wilder, republican, as deputy judge as holdover. On the house calendar were left these judgeshp resolutions: F. L. Wilder, deputy, Bridgeport; S. Harrls Warner, associate, and W. U. Fearne, judge, af Middletown; F. S. Fay and Henry T. King, for fudge at Meriden; Lewis Crandall, assistant, John F. Sullivan, associate, Willilam B. Coit and Charles E. Hickey, judge at New London; Carl Foster, judge, and R. E. DeForest, dep- uty, at Bridgeport; John H. Kirkham, associate New Britain; J. J. Maher, judge, East Hartford: F. G. Eberle, judge, Walter H. Clark, judge, David A, Wilson, associate judge, John F.

Jessen, at East Hartford; L. H. Fuller, M. H. Gessler and J. H. Mann. at Put. nam; S. T. Jennings, Samuel Young, Henry C. Scofleld and T. A. Walsh, at Stamford. There are others, The du- plication of resolutions is due to the fact that the republicans had candi- dates and the democrats had theirs on divided reports, and the senate sent down some names, Among the matters which were not acted upon was-the Rex Power com- any's charter and the sppropation Tor & site for the normal school at Wa. terbury.

Budapest, June 4—The announce- ment in the chamber of deputies today of the resignation of the Hungarian premier, Dr. Ladislaus Von Lukacs,and his cabinet ‘was preceded by scenes of uproar and violence surpassing any yet ‘witnessed in this turbulent house. The authorities, an ticipating trouble, clos- ed the approaches to the parliament building to the public by strong bodies of Infantry and cavalry, supported by a machine gun and detachments of po- lice and gendarmerie. Speaker and Premier Jeered. When Count Tisza, the speaker of the chamber, and Premier Von Lukacs entered the chamber they were greeted by the opposition with shouts, jeers and insulting epithets. After several unavailing attempts to obtain quiet, the speaker ordered the expulsion of several of the opposition deputies and summoned the parita- mentary guard to efect them. Struck Count With Sabre. The appearance of the guard start- ed pandemonium. One of the guards seized Deputy Leher by the coat collar and called him offensive names. “You scondrel! This is indecent,” ex- claimed Count Khuen Von Hedervary, the former premier, addressing Captain Geroe, the commander of the guard. Geroe took his sabre and struck the count thrice on the head. Cries of “Murder.” His face streaming with blood, the ex-premier staggered and fell into the arms of a friend. Cries of “Murder!” resounded throughout the hall. The fury of the opposition deputies was ai- most unconrollable until it was ascer- tained that the Injuries of Count Khuen Von Hedervary were only superficial. Proceedings Resumed. At length Herr Julius Justh, the op- position leader, succeeded in quieting his followers, and the sitting, which in the meantime had been suspended, was resumed. Premier Von Lukacs then announced the resignation of his cabinet, which was gretted with frantic outbursts of jubilation by the opposition. WAR OF THE TWO SUGAR FACTIONS Information Regarding It Disclosed at , Lobby Investigation. ‘Washington, June 4—Ramifications of the sugar tariff fight being conduct- ed outside the halls of congress gave the senate “lobby investigating com- mittee” a busy two hours late this afternoon. With Senator Ransdell of Louisiana as the chief witness, mem- bers of the investigating committee pried into every phase of the fight between the free sugar and the anti- free sugar forces, and established the fact that general offices are maintain- ed by both factions and that & sys- tematic and organized fight has been carried on for and against the free sugar provision endorsed by President ‘Wilson. The activity of the sugar tariff forces was partially responsible for President Wilson's statement that powerful lobbying influences are at work in Washington to effect changes in the tariff bill. Several names were added today to the list of persons who are being subpoenaed by the senate committee and who will testify Sat- urday as to whether they are “lobby- ists.” These includeq empldyes of a bureau maintained here by the Loui iana sugar growers, and various pe: sons who have been comnected with the anti-free sugar fight. Senator Ransdoll discussel the of- ganized activity of the Louisiana su- gar cane growers; but he believed lit- tle money had been spent, compared with the amount spent by Claus Spreckels, the Federal Sugar Refining company and Frank C. Lowrey of New York, sald to be an employe of, that company, in the attempt to create a public sentiment in favor of free su- gar.

New York, June ¢—Mayor Gaynor sent the following letter of recom- mendation to the Board of Aldermen: “The habit of all selfish people and especially if they be big and fat. is to take the end place on the seats of the summer cars which run crosswise of the car, and stick there, instead of moving along to the other end, as other people get on the car. This causes great inconvehience. All those who come after these selfish people have to climb over legs and press by them as best they can. I would sug- gest to you to consider whether you should not pass an ordinance malking this selfish practice a misdemeanor, and requiring those who enter cars with cross seats to move as far into them as there Is a vacant space tn 8lt down.
