Member of State Park Commissioners—General Appropriation Bill Calling for $13,051,301 Passed. Hartford, April 29.—Senator Peasley of the Fifteenth district, in the ab- sence of Lieutenant Governor Wilson, called the senate to order. On motion of Senator Wadhams sen- ate bill No, 288, concerning the tax- ation of miscellaneous corporations, was made the order of the day for Tuesday next at 12 o'clock. It was the order of the day for today at 11.30. The bill includes the levying of a corporate excess tax. Senator Tuttle moved that senate bill No. 232 concerning trade and vo- cational schools be made the order of the day for Wednesday, May 5, instead of Tuesday, May 5. Motion carried. The committee on banks reported unfavorably on the bill concerning the Bridgeport Trust company. Bill re- Jected. (Lieutenant -Governor 'Wilson in the chair.) Appropriation Bill. The bill making appropriations to the amount of $13,051,301 was taken from the table. Senator Barnes offered an amend- ment to increase the appropriation for the Backus hospital for Norwich from $8,000 to $10,000. Senator Magee said there was prob- ably some justification for the amend- ment offered bv Senator Barnes. He said the appropriation for this hospital was reduced at the session of 1913 from $10,000 to $8,000. FHe had no ob- jection to the increase unless it was to be considered as the beginning of a movement to make a general in- crease In appropriations for hospitals. The amendment was rejected by a vote of 10 to 11, Senator Alcorn offered an amend- ment to appropriate $100,000 for build- ings at the Connecticut hospital for the insane at Middletown. Senator Magee apposed Senator Alcorn’s amendment and it was rejected. The report of the committee was accepted and the bill passed. On the motion of Senator Magee the bill was transmitted to the house under sus- pension of rules, Calendar, Passed—Authorizing the commission on free public libraries, appointed by the state board of education, to ex- pend- $4,000 in library work; author- izing the shellfish commissioners to establish spawning beds.

A communication was received from Governor Holcomb nominating John E, Calhoun of Cornwall and Fayette L. Wright of Pomfret to be members of the state park commission. Referred to committee on executive nomina- tions, Concerning Bridg : ‘The committee on roads, rivers and bridges reported a substitute bill abol- ishing the commission on the East Haddam bridge and vesting in the highway commissioner the control of the bridge and also of the bridge be- tween Saybrook and Old Saybrook. The toll rates shall be fixed by the board of control.- Calendar. The committee reported unfavorably on the bill abolishing the office of highway commissioner and appointing a commission of three. Bills rejected. Mutual Life Companies. The committee on finance reported the following bil 3 “Sections 2446 of the general stat- utes as amended by chapter 184 of the jpublic acts of 1903 is hereby amended to read as follows: Every such mu- tual life insurance company shall an- nually, on or before February 25, pay to the state a tax upon its corporate franchise computed as follows: From the total amount of its premium notes and the market value of all its other assets shall be deducted the amount of its ascertained and unpaid losses, the market value of all bonds owned by it which have been issued by this state or any bonds issued by any town or city in this state in aid of the con- struction. of any railroad and which by the laws of this state are exempt from taxation and if said company be in part a stock company, the stock of which by law is otherwise liable to taxation, the market value of the as- sets belonging to its stock department; and such annual tax shall equal one- fourth of one per cent. on the balance remaining, less the amount of taxes paid by such company upon its real estate in Connecticut during the year ending December 31, prior thereto, all of which real estate shall be assessed and taxed In the town or other taxing district within which it is located.” ‘Tabled for calendar. The senate sat this afternoon to dispose of as many measures that had been tabled from time to time, as possible, but as many of the mem- bers were in argumentative mood not much headway was obtained. Responsibility for Fires. A Dbill' concerning responsibility for fires, making any person failing to comply with the general statutes liable for damages for services rendered by a municipality or volunteer fire de- partment, reported favorably by the insurance committee, was rejected. Tt was opposed by Senator Isbell, the majority leader, who said the bill was so_drastic it ought not to pass_ Senators Cheney and Peasley said the bill was milder than the laws in force in many states. Senator Bree said he did not believe there was any public sentiment for the bill and his motk;-é. to -indefinitely postpone was Taxation of Savings Banks, Senator Lewis presented an amend- ing as much ravenue as now being col- ed.

Bond of Applicant for License in- creased to $750, (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, April 20—There came a lull in the house business and Speaker Healey stated that he found on his desk a nicely printed and illustrated pamphlet entitled The Gilt Edged Town, Bantam, Conn., U. S. and asked Mr. Rogers of Litchfleld by what authority he called Bantam a town. In response Mr. Rogers arose and said “Mr. Speaker,” and was recognized in turn as the "“gentleman from Bantam.” Mr. Rogers said the present was one of the rare occasionn when he could not utter words io sxpress his true feelings, during his life of 62 years, but he would say that it wes a great honor for him to sit as a member of the house, with the pupils of the Litch- fleld High school, boys and girls, as his guests and the guests of the house. It was, he e€aid, the first time in 2,000 vears. that the pupils of that school witnessed the working of the law- making machinery of the state, and the pupils were the flower and the music of old {Litchfleld hill. Mr. Rogers said that Litchfield was favored with its full complement of song birds of the wood, but there were none to compare with the human song birds here enjoying the session of the house. He thanked the speaker and the house for the honored privilege grmted the young visitors from Litch- eld and in appreciation those song birds of old Litchfield hill would favor with an old and patriotic selection. The pupils assembled in the space in front of the speaker's desk and eang very effectively America, the members stapding during the rendition. Harry Sebastian’s Rights. The resolution restoring forfeited rights to Harry Sebastian of Stamford, which had been passed in the house, opposed in the senate, and recommit- ted to the committee for a eecond |1 hearing, was reported favorably by the committee in the house Thursday. It was argued that Sebastian had served a long term in state prison, paid the penalty of the crime, was now leading an honorable life, and that the repre- sentative residents of Stamford en- dorsed his petition. Mr. Stoddard stated that he did not want to discuss the matter at this time, as there were several young girls present, the guest of a member. He moved that the bill be made the order of the day for next Tuesday. This motion was opposed and motion to table prevailed by a vote of 117 to 19. After the visiting pupils from the Litchfleld High school had left the hall of the house, the bill was taken from the table. Mr. Stoddard withdrew his motion tagmake the measure the order of the day for next Tuesday. Mr. Stoddard said that this man Sebastian was a music teacher in the town of Stamford and he committed statutory rape upon a pupil under 15 years of age. If the majority of the house wants to put this matter over they can, but he would never sanction the restoration of forfeited rights to such an individual. He did not see how a man of Sebastian’s character should be permitted to exercise the right of citi- zenship. There was much discussion in favor of restoration, which was in effect that Sebastian had served 15 years in state prison and had paid the penalty of the crime. Mr. Stoddard said that in all cases where rights were restored the cases were not of such a grievous nature as that committed by Sebastian. There has been much talk, he said, as to the ruination of this man, but how about the little girl? Mr. Stoddard said prison sentence was not adequate for such a crime and he favored if possi- ble a greater punishment and to con- tinue for all time. It was a most con- temptible case and the perpetrator should have no rights of citizenship restored. The bill was put upon its ftassszage and carried by a vote of 118 0 32. Bridges and Highways. The act amending the act concerning the maintenance of bridges on trunk line highways, passed in the house previously, came from the 'senate amended, and received concurrent ac- tion. A motion to reconsider was passed. Samuel in Discard. ‘The resolution appointing Samuel B. Hoyt judge of the city court of New Haven; reported unfavorably by the Judiciary committee, was received,. re- port accepted and resolutfon rejected. Mr. Hyde explained that another can- didate had been appointed to the office. Automobile Bill Again. The house concurred with the senate in minor amendments to the general automobile bill which were of a cor- rective and strengthening nature, and improved without impairing any fea- ture of the original bill as first passed in the house. Bright Idea Foiled. The committee on forfeited rights reported favorably the bill restoring rights lost by commission of crime to James Bright, formerly of Stamford, now a resident of White Plains, N. Y. Mr. Hyde of Manchester could see no reason why. the state of Connecticut should restore the rights of citizenship 1o the resident of another state. The bill was tabled. License. Bond Raised. The act concerning the bond of an applicant for license to sell intoxicat- ing -liquors was amended to increase the bond from $450 to $750 to conform to the raise in license fee. Sanctioned by the House. The resolutions passed in the senate appointing George Dudley Seymour and Burton Mansfleld members of the commission of sculpture were approved by the house.

GULLIVER MADE PLEA FOR OLD MEN Their Experience Outweighs Value of Youth and Vigor in_Textile Indus- tries. Arthur H. Gulliver of Norwich Town, presented a paper on “Our Textile Industries and Europe’s Calamity” be- fore the National Association of Cot- ton Manufacturers at Boston Thurs- day. Conceding that it has been im- possible to obtain some of the materi- APRIL 30, al which 1s dependent upon the con- tinuous running of Furopen manufact- uring plants Mr. Gulliver referred to the importance of Belgium. He sald n_part: Probably in allied industries we shall suffer more than the devastation per- mitted in Belgium than from the ces- sation of shipments from Germany, as Belgium has for a number of years followed the practice which we, with our abundant natural resources, have neglected, viz, that success in any in- dustry depends on three condition: First, absolute uniformity of every yard of product or every pound of materi: JAeconfi, that speed is im- pssible to obtain perfect results; and lastly, and perhaps more important, as we have neglected this, to our serious detriment, that continuity of employ- ment and long experience are prime essentials for continuous, profitable operation. “If we are to compete in the markets of the world with those who now have possession, it cannot be done by any haphazard advertising or by any mail order proposition, but by earnest, hon- est, continuous work that will take years to put our industries in close alliance with the buyers of even South American, and much more long con- tinued with older nations who. have gained their knowledge of the value of furnishing goods produced by firms of long standing so as to keep for them- slevts the trade not only of their cus- tomers but to secure a hold with all of those who are attracted by the sta- bility and value ow the articles to their establishment. “Is there anything that can be said, gentlemen, to bring this matter more strongly to your attention? It certain- ly will not require a great deal of con- sideration when scarcely any of you who are present cannot put your ficg- er on one or more concerns who have exchanged a man of sixty or even over that age for the smart, progressive man of thirty, and although the re- sult may have satisfied the latter. it did not satisfy the stockholders. If there is any lesson that we are to learn from the war of slaughter with which the papers are filled, it is the that age does not produce stu- pidity and that ability, backed by ex- perience, is very much more perma- nent than youth and dash, no matter what the latter may have in its favor. “This ‘absolute uniformity’ which has been obtained by the Belgian and German in the industries that for vears they have run so successfully, using metal as the raw material, has been followed as well in the products that use the textile fiber, whether silk or cotton or wool, and the con- tinuous employment of experienced hands has made the output as close to standard as possible, and certainly the lesson brought to our attention by this situation is one that should be learned by everyone who is looking for a wider and more extended market. This market, whether it is in country or in the practically untouch- ed commercial centers of Central and South America, or whether it is across the seas to Japan and China, will have to be sought and held by this very uniformity of product, furnished both in sample orders and in continuous commercial transactions, and we must not fail- to learn this lesson thorough- ly before- we undertake to enter the untried fleld which has been taken from us without any effort-on our part to secure even our share, without con- sidering whether. we had one-half or one-quarter of even one-tenth of the business in our specialties that was done in these centers. “To sum up in a few words the problem which meets us from the breach of trade relations, we wish to emphasize the fact that even though ‘we succeed in adopting. the better methods - used in Europe and study A CLEAR COMPLEXION Ruddy Cheeks—Sparkling Ey‘o.—Mut Women Can Have.
