lEBISlAflVE AND COMMITTEE BUSINESS e —— (By a Staff Correspondent.) Hartford, Feb, 10.—The feature of to- @ay’s session of the house was the dis- eunssion over a house joint resolution in- troduced by Leader Buckley of Union ‘which provided that when the legislature adjourns on Thursday of next week it be wntl] the following Friday. Mr. Buckley explained the necessity for Friday ses- wions in the earlier section, in order to conclude the business properly within the time gpecified by law. He said it was meceseary in order to expedite legislation to get reports from committees as soon ms possible, and this could only be done through Friday sesions. The time will tome before final adjournment when ci siderable time will be consumed in dis- cussion of bills, and the result may be that real important matters will be rush- ed throogh on the final days without proper consideration. The object of the resolution, Mr. Buckley said, was to ex- pedite business and get the sentiment of the senate in regard to Friday sessions. The resolution if passed would go to Ohe senate and receive recognition that wolld determine the question. : Mr. Sherwood of Westport opposed the resolution, declaring that . committees ocould meet on other than Iegislative days, give hearinzs and gubmit reports. ‘To have the wholo membership of the house here on Fridays would be a waste of energy and time. Mr. Sherwood moved that the resolution be temporarily tablud. Leader Buckley addressed the speaker and Mr. Sherwood raised the roint of erder that the motion to table was not debatable. *Mr. Buckley said he only intended to ask why the motion to temporarily table. Mr. Sherwood explained that the rea- won was to give the subject more consid- eration. ' Mr. Bell of Salisbwry made a loud and pointed talk aga t Friday sessions asan Iany School Children are SInkly Mothers'who vaive their own comfort and the welfare of their children, should never be with- out abox of Mother Gray's Sweet Powders for for use thronghout the sesson. They Break up Colds, Relieve Feverisliness, Constipa- tion, Teething Disorders, Headachie and Stomach Troubles, Used by mothers for over 30 yeara. THESE POWDERS GIVE SATIRFACTIO AllDrog Stores. Don't accept any substitute, injustice to members from the four quar- ters of the state, as it wouid be only a case of walking up the hill and, walking down, again. Mr. Buckley stated that inasmuch’ as Mr. Sherwood did not raise the point of order on Mr. Bell that he would proba- bly be allowed to speak. He said that with Friday sesions business would be ready for action and disposition that would otherwise be delayed. It was'de- sirous that the sentiment of the senate be known and. that could be.learned by the adoption of the resolution. The house has gone on under the assumption that there would be Friday sessions. Mr. Stoddard of Woodbridge said he believed the matter of Fiday sessions ought to be left with Leader Buckley of the house and Leader Delaney of ‘the senate. Let these gentlemen agree and the rest of us agves wiln them. Mr. Buckley replied that such an agree- ment may be a5 Qiicalt fn this matter as it would be to have the gentleman from Woodbridge agree with the gentle- man from North Haven on aay matter. He said he would like to Mave the reso- lution put to a vote. Mr. Sherwood moved tha® wnem the vote be taken it be by roll call on the questipn of tabling the resolution. Only four voted in favor of roll call and the motion was lost. Mr. Buckley’s resolution was then pase- ed almost unanimously and transmitted to the senate. Representative Rogers of LitchGeld, the comedian of the legislatur® of 1915, made his introductory bow to the, present leg- islature today. He introduced a petition to amend the act concerning the powers and duties of the civil eerviee coOmm?s- sioners. It requires that aii applicants for jobs be first éxamined as o qualifi- cation for applying for the job, and then receive a card of pink tea color contain- ing a full description of the applicant. This card rest be worn conspicuously and the size sufficient so that it could be read at a distance of 200 feet. Kvery- body is included in the bill, almost, the legiflators, the judges, the jurors, attor- neys, and even the shoe-shiners. Report- ers are omitted. This bill on motion of Mr. Williamson of Darien was referred to the commitice on forfeited rights.

Judging from the queries by some members of the committee, the repeal measure will probably be unfav- orably reported by the committee. There was no opposition to Mr. Fook- er's bill permitting classical concerts 1L d ernooms. This measure, if passed would allow concerts by the Symphony orches- tra of New Haven and the Hartford Phil- harmonic orchestra. that those concerts would not be supporting and that in addition T self- subscription by the music-loving public. ‘The bille of Senator Bowers, of Man- chesfer and Representative Dunn Hartford, permitting professional base- ball and football on Sunday @fternoon were heard jointly, ‘and occupied greater part of the three hours that the hearing was in session. The line of ar- guments prevailed in this matter that marked the hearing on the repeal of the moving picture bill. It was plain that the majn interest of the hearing was in the repeal measure, as comparatively few of the large number present took active interest in the other matters. The general sentiment of the legislature is against Senator Brown's repeal bill, ELLINGTON The Woman's club met, Monday after- noon with Mrs. John T. McKnight.
