FARMERS TRY TO SOLVE DPAYLIGHT SAVING PROBLEM (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, March 15.—Daylight saving ‘was discussed this morning by the Farm- ers’ Legislative association at the capitol, the agriculturists trying to d some plan of getting the sehate to look favor- ably on the standard time bill which has passed the house but seems in danger of rejection. or emasculation in the senate when it comes up there tomorrow as the order of the day. Major Samuel Russell, Jr., of Middle- town presided at the meeting and said he believed the thing to do was for each farmer-representative to “get after” the senator from his district. Major Russell outlined some of the arguments to be used on the senafurs, including the objec- tions of milk producers. tobacco growers, market gardeners, hay makers. etc. Day light saving, he said, was a nice thing for the people in the cities, but he had heard complaint that small children get an hour less sleep under daylight saving because they go to bed at the same period after sundown, but get up an hour earlier in the morning. The number bf hours wasted under daylight saving in Connec- ticut was inestimable, Major Russell said, and he pointed out how people get to the railroad station an hour too eéarly or else an hour late and perhaps lose the whole day. The optional scheme—allowing munici- palities to enact local daylight saving ordinances—Major Russell said was the most ridiculous’ plan because of the at- tendant confusion in going from one place to another. “Let's have either standard time or daylight saving all over the state,” said Major Russell. The state’ grange bill on the subject provided a fine on towns not using stan- dard time, but it was decided unenforce- able and was never introduced. Major John Buckley, house leader, who had been invited to the meeting, said he knew of no other thing for the farmers thedesirability of standard time and to also approach the senators from cities in rural communities. Representative Fillow of Danbury sug- gested that factories and business places could open and close an hour earlier in July and August without disconcerting things by changing from standard time. Representative - Wadsworth of Thomas- ton moved the' Farmers' association re- solve itself into a committee of the whole to labor with the senators. Representa- tive Atchison of Sherman offered an amendment that éach director of the Farmers’ Legislative association inter- view the farmers in his dictrict and pre- sent their views to the senator before tomorrow noon. The motion and amend- meni were adopted. BUTTERWORTH APPEALS FOR , CARE OF EX-SERVICE MEN (Special to The Bulletin.} Hartford, March 15.—Treasurer Frank S Butttrworth of the American Legion of Connecticut was at the capitol today in an effort to impress the chairmen and members of legislative committees of the immediate need of an emergency appro- priation of $150,000 by the legislature to carry on the work of caring for the needy ex-service men and their dependents until May, whe ninterest bf $53.000 will be forthcoming from the $2,500,000 state fund. Mr. Butterworth met on Saturday in New Haven chairmen of local commit- tees in charge of ‘disbursements and al- though the amount being paid out week- 1y has been cut down all of 70 per cent., the funds are about exhausted. The state board of control advised Mr. But- terworth some time ago that he had bet- ter ask the legislature to help out in the emergency.

Her testimony Was tie ldst of, the day, and the defense apnounced that except for the matter of the admissibility as evidence of letters from Clara to Hamon, it rested its case. Both in her direct' testimony and on cross-examination she maintained she! could not tell just how .the pistol was discharged, but that it was discharged as she was attempting to unlock the door of her room to escape Hamon, who she said ‘was threatening to .strike her with a chair. N At one point in her direct testimony ehe illustrated to the jury the arrangement of her room, and how her view of Hamon was cut off for a moment as she reached the door. At, the request of Attorney-General Freeling, who is directing the prosecution, the defendant pointed the pistol at him as she said she did at Hamon. / “I might have pulled the trigger.” she From ai Where women, Drag out their v With dull quiescent so Whose lives are bounded by the Whose sou And ail whose lov And who, in dim and dreadfs; Have given their beauty to Where Heads Nation Wide Survey For Elimination Of Waste No thou=ht of lovely secret thin Nor rebel ques o Oaly a too familiar pain.

She reiterated she could not tell just when the pistol was discharged ; that she did not know whether the pistol fired as it fell to the floor or when the chair hit her. Clara said she had pawned her dia- monds. presented by Hamon to pay the s of her trial. She sald that at {the hospital Hamon said he was going to Miss Gertrude Teft was the leader at{die. that he was worse than lhe @octers thd Young People’s Christian Endeavor evening, | said. 1d." she replied to the question. Attorney-General Freeling questioned Clara Hamon regarding alleged state- ments by her to the reporters. Frequent- ly she denied the accuracy of detafls of the printed story, saying, “I just can't re- member,” or that the reporter had misun- derstood or misquoted her. She said the story of the killing reported by Sam PBlair, a Chicago newspaper man, was ac- curate. Clara said that on the traln from El Paso to Ardmore she had signed a state- ment saying Blair's interview was over- drawn. She told of purchasing the pistol with ‘which Mr. Hamon was killed. {r. Hamon gave the money to me and told me to buy it,” she said. “Upon the day Mr. Hamon was shot, what tapk place ; what did you say to Mr. Hamon, if anything, relative ‘o the fight {in the room?" queried her couns:l, Clara ireplied: o “He »ald ‘Clara, you hit me’ or ‘it hit me,’- something like that, T don't gemem- ber positi I said ‘Mr. Hamoff, 1 am sure I didn’t hit you." I said ‘Lie on the bed and I will call Dr. Hardy. | “No. dont: 1 zan walk to the hospital’ I said ‘But T, must call the doctor if you are hurt.' Te said ‘Yes, T am hit, Clara, T will go to the hospital myselt’ He ralsed his vest to show me where he was hit. There was a snot of blood about that big around,” and she curved her fingers to illustrate, breaking down at this point and crying. “He left the room.” she said. “I will say it was an accident. If any- pne asks you about this tell them it is all right, T will make the explanations,” she quoted Hamon as having said. Resuming the stand after the neon re- cess Clara spoke of incidents following the shooting. “Mr. Hamon held out his arms and pulled me down and kissed me and asked me “to forgive him and said it never would have happened if he had not been drunk,” she said Mr. Hamon told her at the hospital the morning after the shooting, She said Hamon told her she eonld leave town to save scandal. but to come back that afternoon.
