Some au- thorities, though, believe crumpet to derive from the Angio-Saxon “croms peht,” meaning wrinkled, a word sur- viving in our “crumpled,” whilst Fos- broke thinks the name descends from the pan-cakes, or ‘‘crum-cakes,” which found favour in the nunneries before the Dissolution—London Chronicle.

Devout Catholics will find, too a happy omen in the capture. For Lorctto is famous the world over, be- cause it contains, as the Church of | Rome and its followers believe, the Santa Casa, or Holy House, in which the Virgin Mary dwelt.

Perry In an address to the joint o Governor Marcus H. Holeomb 1 ed that this session had been the shortest since biennial sessicns were adopted,- and this was due not to fact that there had been less I tion to consider but that it ‘been a working session, the members had attended daily sessions well and that duties were seriously considered. Adjournment came at the end of a long day In which except for a short period for lunch the house sat with- out a break to finish up pending mat- ters. The senate had been -on the heels of the house and had long recess waiting for measures to come up for concurrent action. Toward the end senators got impatiént as their fare- well_dinner was ready, but Speaker H was not moved by a plea to have recess taken until tomorrow, saying that adjournment would come today. Late in the afterrdoon house doors were ‘ocked to keep members from wander- ing out Into the corridors during de- bate. There were mock sessions in each branch, Senator Neebe presiding in the upper one and Representative Smith of Mansfleld in the house. There was some zood natured boisterousness in the latter chaniber and presertation of gifts of a more or less unique character with responses tinctured with humor. Speaker Healey. the par fy Jeaders and the clerks racetved stb- stantial remembrances. The senators ai ted their gifts at thelr dinner. IN THE HOUSE. Anti-Saloon Bilia Passed. Which Waere Later Nullified by Senate. (Special to -The Bulletin.) Hartford, May 17.—After an hour and a half of buffoonery, with Mr. Higgins of Coventry at the speaker’s desk, and relieved by Mr. Smith of Plainville, and with an almost constant fusilade of state documents and a din of slamming desk covers, order was | restored, Speaker Healey resumed his position’ and the final adjournment of the legislature of 1917 was reached Thursday evening. During the mock session there were many presentations to members with fads on certain legis- lative matters and the gifts ~were typical of the fads and carried to the extreme limit. The presentation speeches were heard, but the responses were drowned in song and desk siam- ming accompaniment. When all this din ended came the joint session with the governor pres- ent. and the eession was adjourned with due formality and in accordance with law. A diamond ring was pre- sented to Speaker Healey, a gold watch to Majority Leader Peasley, a silver set to Minority Leader Geary, a gold watch to Chaplain Benedict, a diamond ring to Clerk Kenmealey and a gold watch to Assistant Clerk Countryman. The real business of the house fol- ows: Flag Given Away. Mr. Hoyle of Hampton offered a res- olution presenting to Representative L. Smith of Plainville th€ flag in the house which was placed over the speaker’s rostrum in the early part of the session, on motion of Mr. Smith. Account to Be Rendered. A bill was passed requiring that ail appropriations made for agricultural purposes and expended by the State Agricultural college be accounted for to the comptroller. Soldier to Receive Pay. A resolution was passed to pay per diem allowance to Privates Angelo Capoto and Thomas P. Gil; for services rendered as members of the Ninth company, Stamford, and while they were sick in hospital, after discharge from the company. Another bill of $10.36 was ordered paid to Frank W. Churchill on account of the fish and game committee. Niantic Bridge Over Veto. The governor sent in his veto of the bill which provided that the state con- struct a bridge over the Niantic river between the towns of Waterford and Fast Lyme, one-half to be paid by the state and half by New London coun- ty on the ground that it was not justifiable and would establish a prece- dent. Mr. Bailey of Norwich moved tl the bill passed by the house be recon. sidered and the motion prevailed. Geary of Waterford moved that e bill be passed notwithstanding the eto. He salé this is a mat- as vitai interest, as h the situation. The act condemning the old toll bridge was not sought by the towns, county or owners, but was taken over by. the The county did not come to ate and ask that the bridge be taken o he present bridge would last for another generation, if left as it was last June, hut was damaged by the unusual use of the bridge by the state and federal government. and now an cxpenditure of perhaps $5,000 would be required for repairs. It is not the he county coming to the state " ., but is required to take ac- tion by order of the federal govern- ment. If the state had not taken this bridze over some eight years ago it would now be a matter between the then owner and the federal govern- ment. The rule of law and justice should apply in this case and the state for the consequences of its act. ile the bridge is not- on a state ighws it is on a state air road. Tt or just to put this expense w London county, and that is the notion of every fair- evidently minded man who was familiar with the circumstances. It was not the act of the towns or county that the state erect this bridge. but it was the order of the federal government. A delegation from New TLondon county had visited the governor thls morning 2nd the governor said that if the bill was passed he would not be displeased. but he did not want . £ circumstances Mr. Bailey of Norwich sald the con- ditions relating to the Niantic bridge were differént than anywhere else in the state and could noi be duplicated, and therefore there was no chance for precedent. The national government has ordered the bridge and the state ought to come to the rescue, as.the state was responsible for the condi- tiops that now exist. The. bridge is but litt'e used by the people of the county, but has heen and will continue to be considerably used by the state and federal military. ~¥e urzed the passage of the bill notwithstanding the veto of the governor. i ju ‘The - proviaed for the sals of candy, sods and jce cream o n Sunday on ’rmml that this matter {s provided for n another bill. The veto was sus- tained. No More for Newton. The governor sent in a veto against the bill which would give additional compensation to Clarence R. Newton for cattle killed during the prevalence of the foot and mouth disease. The sum already paid, $2,500, was divided between state and federal government, and the governor was of opinion that the sum was adequate under the law. The veto was sustalned. Employment for Soldiers. The act presented by Mr. Fenton of Willimantic providing tbat employes of the state leaving the same to enter the military service of the state and country be guaranteed the positions they have vacated when retiring from the service came from the governor without his approval. Mr. Fenton made strong argument in favor of the bill after moving its passage over the governor's vets. He said it was a military measure of more importance than was the home guard for which large appropriations had been made. He said the state should be fair to its employes who went forth to defend the flag and cited the fact that some cor- porations not only guaranteed em- ployment to the soldier upon his return but aiso pald him wages during his absence. The bili was opposed by Mr. Rudad of Salisbury, chalrman of tihe military committee. and by Majority Leader Peasley. The veto was sus- tained by a vote of 137 to 90. Waterbury Fuel Supply. ‘The governor sent in his veto of the act concerning the Waterbury fuel supply. which he stated was already provided for in a general act, and that there was, no necessity for a separate bill for each city on the matter of fuel or other supplies. On motion of Mr. Peasley of Cheshire the blll was in- definitely postponed by a Wvote of 123 to 68. Compulsery Vaeccination. The &ct concerning the vaccination of school chi'dren was also vetoed by the governor by reason of its optional clause. On motion of Mr. Peasley the whole matter was tabled. Closing of the Saloons. The act authorizing the governor to regulate the sale of spirituous and in- toxicating liquors during the contin- uance of the war, which was partially discussed last Friday was taken from the table. Mr. Savage of Meriden of- fered an amendment to the first sec- tion which provided that the govern- ment act only upon request and when local police so desired. The amend- ment was voted down. Another amend- ment was presented that provided that in the event of saloons being closed that the rents of saloons for the time closed be paid by the comptroller of the state, but not to apply to the own. ers of property who could convert the premises into another line of business. The amendment was opposed by Mr. Martin of Orange, who declared that the amendment was intended to Kill the bill. The amendment was adopted by a vote of 109 to $7. Mr. Backus of Killingly offered an amendment that the law shall not be in effect until November 1, 1917, in- stead of June 1, or the end of the li- cense year. He sald he was opposed to the rum business, but believed the licensed liquor dealer even shall get a square deal. The bill was passed by a vote of 126 to 110, and went to the senate where it was indefizitely postponed and without debate. At 2 o'clock the house took a recess until 3 o'clock. Booth’s Promotion. A resolution was adopted appointing John R. Booth, judge of the city cours of Danbury, to be judze of the court of common pleas for Fairfield county. The vote was by ballot and there was no opposition. Forty for Eddie. A resolution was passed to pay Ed- ward Kenealy forty dollars to pay the contingent expenses of the clerk of the hotse. Fifty for Fred Resolution was passed to pay fifty dollars to Frederick W. Huxford for organizing the house of 1817. The Westport Cas The act to reimburse the town of Westport for money paid for repairing detours damaged during the repairs of a state road, was rejected in the house, last week. Mr. Sherwood moved for reconsideration of action and a lonz debate ensued. The bill has been passed in the senate. The motion to reconsider prevailed. The senate amended fixing the sum to be paid $10,000. a reduction of $11,000. There was much discussion by Messrs. Barnes, Hitchcock, Russell, Foord, Waitt- and Rogers, the latter moving the previous question which .prevailed. The amendment was adopted and the biil was passed as amended. Consolidation of Institutions. The act to consolidate the Connecti. cut Colony of Epileptics and the School for Feeble-Minded into the Mansfeld Training School and State Hospital, passed in the senate, was taken from the table. There were two The majority report pro- ot a consolidation which car- ried w ard of irustees the wminority | olidation with hlvs ! Russell moved the adoption of the mi- nority report. The minority report was then put upon its passage and carried. Constitutional Amendment.

The matter was indefinite- 1y postponed. Cha: Gets $100.

The act concerning home for de- pendent children was continued to the next session of the general assembly. No Power to Governor. The house reconsidered action and concurred with the senate in the re- jection of the bill to give the gov- ernor authority to regulate the sale of liquor during the continuance if the war, and to change the saloon hours. Liquor Claim Rejected. There was concurrence with the senate in the rejection of the bill which provided for the reimbursement to Edward T, Lyons for expenses in- curred in establishing his title as a county commissioner for Hartford. New Londen County Meet. Mr. Fox of New London announced that the senators and representatives of New London county would hold a business session of the county home in Preston at noon of Saturday, May 26, for the transaction of county bus- iness. SENATE BUSINESS. Saloon Closing Bill and Legis!. History in the Discard. The senate concurred with the house in referring the bill for home ajd for children to the committee on appro- priations. Senator Boyd submitted a report from the committee on appro- priations which recommended that the bill be referred to the next general as- sembly. On motion of Senator Klett the report of the committe ewas te- bled temporarily. Souvenir Bill Vetoed. The governor submitted a veto of the bill_making an appropriation of $4,000 to William H. Taylor for th eprinting of the souvenir legislative history for 1917. Said the governor: “When, as at present, economic conditions are such as to compel a minimum limit in appropriations for legitimate objects for public support, it is a peculiarly inopportune time to make an appro- priation . of public funds to pay for such of these souvenirs as may be taken for private libraries. A major- ity of those who would be entitled {0 a free copy under this act would, 1 be- lieve, personally prefer to pay for it.” ‘On motion of Senator Klett the sen- ate reconsidered its action in passing the bill. Senator Klett then moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed, and the motion prevailed. Barnes’ Protection Bill. Senator Barnes introduced the fol- lowing dill to protect crops, as a war measure, and it was passed under sus- pension of rules and transmitted to the house: & Sectlon 1. If any person shall, dur- ing the time of war, enter upon any fleld, garden or land of another, soww, planted or cultlvated with grain, vege- tables, fruit, article of food or sub- stance used in the preparation of food, with intent to retard or injure the rowti: of e same, or sha - or injure any gY pr g or more than exceeding not B e imprizoned not six_months. or both. Sec. 2. This act shall take effect on its passage. “Niat Bridge Assured.” The veto of the governor on the Ni- antic bridge matter was overridden in the senate with as much force as in the house. Senator Barnes said the governor had a doubt as to the wisdom of his veto of the bill making an ap- propriation for the Niantic bridge when he told him that he could have held it for three days and then vetoed it by withhoiding his signature after the general assembly had adjourned. but cut, carry that he preferred to give the legislators a chance to pass it over the veto. The senator moved the passage of the bill notwithstanding the veto, and it was carried by a vote of 23 to 8 after Sen- ator Hinckley spoke in favor of the bill. Club License Bill. A report was received from the com- mittee on engrossed bills changing the phraseology of the club license bill by which clubs such as the Hartford club and Hartford Golf club would not suf- fer from discrimination.
