Quickly Relieves Without Distress The congestion of waste and refuse from the stomach, fer- menting in the bowels, generates poisonous gases that occasion distress and invite serious 1ll- ness, Heaith and comfort de- mand that this congestion be speedily relieved and the foul mass expelled. The well-founded objection most people have to the violence of cathartic and purgative agents is overcome by using the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug_stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. A dose at night brings relief next morning, without discomfort or inconvenience. A free trial bot- tle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 452 Washington St.. Monticello, Ilis.

FOR A STATE DEPA NURWICH RTMENT OF LABOR Act Passed in the House Consolidating the Office of the Bu- reau of Labor Statistics and the Factory Inspector— Commissioner to Receive $4,000 a Year and Deputy $1,800 and Expenses—Adverse Report in Senate on Bill for Women’s Reformatory. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, May 10.—With less than a hundred members present there was considerable business disposed of and including a big batch of unfavorable reports from the committee on appro- priations, which are provided for in the general appropriation bill. Other committee unfavorable reports were placed in the discard and therefore ob- stacles to early adjournment were re- moved. The unfinished business of the session of 1913, lodged in the office of the secretary of state will remain there without legislative action, in compliance with the report of the spe- cial committee on unfinished business. So that from now on the main at- tention can be given to matters on the calendar, Labor and Factory Inspection. An act was passed establishing a state department of labor and factory inspection, in which shall be consol- idated the functions, prerogatives, powers and duties of the bureau of labor statistics and of the factory in- spector, is created, which shall be un- der the direction and control of a com- missioner of labor and factory inspec- tion, whose term of .office shall be four vears from the first day of July next succeeding his appointment, The com- missioner will receive a salary of $4,000 a year, and a deputy will recgive a salary of $1,800 and expenses. Club License in Peril. The committee of conference for the consideration of the licensing of so- cial clubs and fraternal associations and societies, to dispense intoxicating liquors to members, made report that the house should adhere to its action and that the senate should adopt the bill as passed inu the house. This means that the measure is liable to die between both houses, as the senate will probably also adhere to its former action, which would not grant club privileges in no-license towns. Chatham-Colchester Bridge. The committee on roads, bridges and rivers, through Mr. Macdonald, unfa- vorably reported on the act for the counties of New London and Middle- sex to assume the maintenance of the bridge over the Salmon river between the towns of Colchester and Chatham. which had been maintained by these towns since 1762. Mr, Macdonald ex- plained that nearly all the senators and representatives from New London and Middlesex counties appeared in opposition at the hearing. The report was accepted and the bill rejected. An_act was passed providing that the directors or trustees of any home or reformatory institution, with the advice and approval of the governor may discharge from such institution and transfer to the Connecticut School for Imbeciles, any minor who in their | judgment is a proper subject for said | school, and the superintendent there- {of shall receive and care for such { minor as though regularly committed. There shall be taxed by the comptrol- ler two and one-half dollars a week for each week such minor shall remain at E school for imbeciles, and the su- perintendent of said school shall make a bill therefor quarterly and present it to the governor, upon whose ap- proval it shall be paid by the state treasurer, and the balance shall be paid by the parents or grandparents of such minor, or if the minor is a pau- per, by the town in which such minor belongs, No Change in Work Hours. The house concurred with the sen- ate in rejecting the bill which would change from 5 5 hours a week as the working schedule of women and minors in mercantile establishments, Oleomargarine Bill Killed. The ‘amended bill in regard to the manufacture and sale of oleomarga- rine, indefinitely postponed in the sen- ate, received like fate in the house. Collections by State. The senate disagreed with the house action in the bill which provided for the collection of money due the state, which carried with it a deputy attor- ney general authorized to collect and with a salary attached of $1,800. The house insisted and a committee of con- ference was decided upon. Messrs. Hyde of Manchester and Williamson of Darien were appointed to the com- mittee, Norwich-Colchester-Hartford, An act was passed in concurrence with senate action amending the char- [ter of the Norwich, Colchester and Hartford Traction company, providing that the time within which the Nor- wich, Colchester and Hartford Trac- tion company, incorporated by a reso- lution passed at the January session of the genera] assembly, 1907, may con- struct its railway 1S extended until December 1, 1916, and if the pub- lic utilities commission shall find -n that date that at least 25 per cent. of the lines of sald corporation have been constructed, sald rights shall be extended and remain in force until the rising of the general assembly at its January session in 1917. Group Compensation Insurance. An act concerning workmen’s com- pensation insurance, which reads as follows, was passed: Section 1.

Every such policy shall con- tain an agreement by the ingurer to the effect that the insurer shall be di- rectly and primarily liable to the em- ploye and, in the event of his death, to his dependents, to pay to him or to them the compensation, if any, for which the employer is liable, provided payment in whole or In part of such compensation by either the employer or the insurer shall to the extent thereof be a bar to the recovery against the other of the amount so paid. Sec, 2. When a claim for compen- sation by any such injured employe or the dependent of an injured em- ploye of an emplover who has In- sured his liability as aforesaid, shall mnot result in a voluntary agreement and a hearing before a compensation commissioner shall be necessary to de- termine such claim, the insurer shall recelve the same notice of such hear- ing as 1s by law required to be given to the employer and shall thereupon be & party to the proceeding. Sec. 8. In any such hearing the commissioner having jurisdiction may ] make his award directly against such employer, insurer, or both, and such award shall be enforceable in all re- spects as provided by law for enforcing awards against an employer, and the proceedings on hearing, finding, award, appeal and execution shall be in all respects similar to that provided by law as between employer and em- ploye. Sec. 4. As between any such in- jured employe or his dependent and the insurer, every such contract of insurance shall be conclusively pre- sumed to cover the entire liability of the insured, and no question #s to breach of warranty, coverage, or mis- representation by the insured shall be rajsed by the insurer in any proceed- ing before the compensation commis- sioner or on appeal therefrom, Sec. 5. No statement in an appli- cation for a policy of compensation in- surance shall vitiate such policy as between the insurer and the insured, unless such statement shall be false and shall materially affect either the acceptance of the risk or the hazard assumed by the insurer. Sec, 6. No Insurer shall issue any policy of insurance purporting to cover the liability of an employer under the provisions of chapter 138 of the public acts of 1913 and amendments thereto, until a copy of the form of such policy shall have been filed with and ap- proved by the insurance commissioner. Sec. 7. When any insured shall knowingly make a material misstate- ment to any insurer to the damage of such insurer, such insurer may re- cover just damages resulting from such misstatement. Sec. The terms “employer,” “em- ploye,” “dependent” and “commission- er” as used herein shall be construed as defined in chapter 138 of the public acts of 1913 as amended. The Governor’s Family. The act concerning the governor's staff, which would prevent the govern- or from selecting the members of his military family at will, but would be compelled to select four officers from the Connecticut Natlonal Guard, was indefinitely postponed on motion of Mr. Brooks, of Torrington, a member of Governor Holcomb’s staff. New Haven Road Charter. The house concurred with the sen- ate in the passage of the act amend- ing the charter of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com- pany, after unsuccessful effort was made to expunge the section that pro- vides that all provisions of the char- ter, or amendments_thereto, requiring a majority of directors to be citizens residing in this state, be repealed, but not less than two-thirds of the di- rectors shall be residents of New Jand and citizens of the states in w! the company is incorporated.

HEIRS AT WAR OVER EXECUTOR APPOINTMENT Norwich Woman Is Beneficiary Under Mary E. Wasson’s Will. (Special to The Bulletin.) New York, May 10.—Because of the failure of Mary E, Wasson, the grand- aunt, in Norwich, Conn., of Grace Al- bertson Fillmore, of No. 9 Walnut street, to designate in her will an executor in the event that the one that she did name should predecease her, a flery triangular court fight, led by Grace Albertson Fillmore, the Nor- wich grandniece, has broken out be- tween the heirs over the appointment of an administrator, and Surrogate John P. Cohalan, after listening in court to long and sensational argu- ments by their attorneys, has the mat- ter under advisement today and is ex- pected to hand down his decision in the near future Mary E. Wasson, the testatrix, pass- ed away on Jan. 21 last, leaving a will, which was admitted to probate here, in which she directed her estate of at least $25,000 to be distributed as follows, after the payments- of all debts: To Catherine M. Dixon, sister, the entire estate. If this sister, who was named, also, as the execut prede- ceased the testatrix, which she did, having died on Oct. 4, 1914, then one- third each was to go' to William W. Gfillesepie, and George W. Wood, both of New York and both-nephew. twelfth each to James H. Albert New York, and Grace Albertson Fill- more, of Norwich, Conn., grandnephew and grandniece; and one-eighteenth each to Theodore Schroeder, of Mil- waukee, Wiss, May and_ Ella Schroe- der, both of Sharon, Conn., grand- nephew and grandnieces. Calling the attention of the court to the fact that Catherine M. Dixon, testratrix’s sister, was dead, George M. Wood, decedent’s nephew, flled an ap- plication with the clerk of the court. asking to be appointed administrator with the will aunexed. A bonding company stood ready to furnish a 000 bond. Hardly had the applica when Grace Albertson Imore, the Norwich grandniece, filed complaint with the_court, sworn to before Hib- berd R. Norman, Norwich, Conn., no- tary public, objecting to the appoint- ment of George M. Wood, a nephew and residuary legatee under the will of said decedent, upon the following grounds: “That said George M. Wood is dis- honest. “That sald George M. Wood is im- provident. “That since the death of Mary E. ‘Wasson, on January 21, 1915, said George M, Wood has knowingly and wrongfully converted and disposed of property and assets of the estate of said decedent, and has attempted knowingly and wrongfully to impose and_charge upon said estate, as claims against it, debts and liabilities of said George M. Wood. “Specifications of objection, upon in- formation and belies “That when a public officer, to wit, clerk of the court of special session: in the city and county of New Yorl in or about the year 1889, said George M. Wood, according to the report of the then' commissioner of accounts. was guilty of a defalcation in the funds entrusted to him in such capa- city to the amounts of upwards of $7,000, “That sch defalcation was covered by a deposit of a sum contributed by Wood's father anr his uncles by mar- riage, Hiram R. Dixon and Christopher C. Wasson, husband of said decedent, as deponent was at that time inform- ed by her uncle, sald Christophed C. ‘Wasson. “That said defalcation was an open and public scandal, as more particu- larly will appear by reference to news- papers published in New York on the 28th day of May, 1889, and that said defalcation was felt by the family con- nections _and acquaintances of said George M. Wood. to be a source of shame and mortifisation and disgrace “That since sai/ defalcation said George M. Wood has been unable prop- erly to support himself and family; has had no regular and settled occu- pation, and has been a burden upon his relations, particularly the Wasson and Dixon families above mentioned. “That since the death of Mary E. ‘Wasson, said Wood obtained credit for supplies furnished to him, or upon his order, from the butcher and grocer who furnished provisions to said Mary B, Wasson, in her lifetime, by repre- senting himself as the heir of said de- cedent, and when denled further credit and pressed for payment of provisions furnished upon representations, said ‘Wood told said butcher and grocer to charge the same to the account of said decedent, and has failed and refused to pay therefor.” Along with the complaint were sev- eral affidavits from certain people liv- ing in and around the testatrix’s prop- erty and a transcript of the charges made against George M. Wood by the commission of accounts to Hugh J. Grant, the mayor of New York from 1889 to 1892 Hardly had Grace Albertson Fill- more, the Norwich grandniece, filed her objections, when Willlam Wasson Gilleespie, May and Theodore Schroe- der, filled papers with the court ask- been filed Skirt 6102—15c. - THE SUMMER FASHION BOOK of he Celebrated ; ‘PICTORIA: REVIEW PATTERN is now ready for you at the Patten PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS, THE « 7 FasHioN Book for Summer is the final note in Summer Fashions.

Wood, through his at- torney, answered the objections made against him by denying every allega- n of the charges made by the commissioner of accounts to Mayor Grant. These charges, he said, did take place, but said that the city of New York did not lose one pen- ny, inasmuch as a certified check was deposited immediately which was greater in amount than the alleged shortage. That because of the pres- entation of the check he is not and could not be called dishonest and therefore wants the court to appoint him administrator with the will an- nexed. CITY CHARTER AMENDMENT PASSED BY THE HOUSE Will Enable Extension of Mains to Supply Norwich State Hospital. The act amending the charter of the City of Norwich was reported favorably by the committee on in- corporations and was passed by the house at Hartford on Monday after explanations by Representatives A. J. Bailey, who said that the act amends section 86 of an act amending the charter of the City of Norwich, ap- proved July 5th. 1871, as amended by an act amending the charter of the city of Norwich approved July 19th, 1893, and provides in a general way that the board of water commission- ers of Norwich shall keep a regicter of all persons who use the water, and es to be paid therefor, and y the avails of water rents yment of the current expens- e water works such as re- extending pipes into new lo- etc, and shall pay any ex- pairs, calities, a cess to the city treasurer quarterly. The act also requires that the board of water commissioners_shall not lat- er than the 20th of May in every year, render to the city clerk or to the mayor certain written statements NICE, STRONG Zinnia and Aster Plants at RALLION’S showing cash receipts and disburse- ments for the year, balance on hand, income and expense, profit from op- eration, amount of depreciation, ac- counts payable and accounts receiv- able. 2 The act further provides said Sena- tor Bailey that the water commission- ers of Norwich, in addition to the powers now held by it may make con- tracts with the trustees for the Nor- wich Hospital for the Insane for sup- plying water to said hospital located in the town of Preston, and giving the commissioners power to lay mains and pipes and to establish hydrants wher- ever necessary for such purpose in any highway, street or place, and also to make contracts to supply any person with water at any place along the lines of such mains. The act also provides that the board of gas and electrical commissionerc of Norwich shall submit to the city council on or before the 15th day of May in each year, certain statements showing the balance on hand, invested for the gas and electrical sinking fund, the income and expense, profit of op- eration, etc. The bill was advocat- ed before the committee by represent- atives from the town and was unop- posed by any one. The principal change in the law re- lating to the municipal water depart- ment of the city of Norwich is in the power conferred by this act to extend their mains so that the Norwich State hospital may connect with this supply. Your committee was unani- mously of the opinion that the act should be passed. Old Lyme.—Miss Katherine Luding- ton .of New York has arrived and opened her home for the summer.
