Hartford, Conn.,, May 25.—Disagree- ing on two house amendments and add. ing another which would eliminate the law under which liquor prosecuting agents have been appointed, the senate this afternoon adopted the prohibition enforcement law. The adoption was by a vote of 14 to 12, just the needed num- ber, after a debate which two score members listened to. The legislative day.was one of long and interesting debates in both branches The eutstanding features were the adop- tion in the upper branch of the revision of the civil administration code and the ill ereating a state athletic commission under which there would be boxing and wrestling The civil administration code bill cre- ates 10 governmental depaytments in the state, as follows: Agricuiture, bank- g, education, insurance, labor and in- dustrial, motor vehicles, publi health, public welfare, public works and taxa- tion. The present departments and com- missions, with the exception of the state police department, would be placed un- der these departments. Senator Banks, in speaking for the bill, said it would save the state millions of dollars in the future, The house again did not take up the “strike and leckonut™ bill, nor did the senate act on amendments to the work- men's compensation bill amending the present la The former adopted bill providing for a new schedule of fees for the filing of documents with the secre- tary of state; to alter the law prohibit- ing the sale of adulterated or inferior products of gasoline, and providing that 2 register his sheep, wag reported in to incorporate Company to take over the property and franchises of the Shore Line Electric Railway west of the Connecticut river, with a capital of $30,000 and privilege to increase to $1,000,000. The appropriations committee reported an amendment to yhe teachers' retire- ment system in the public schools has covered, a period of 10 or more years, A bill the Shore Line Traction tirement allowance. The administration of the fund also would be altered. The committee on federal relations, through Mr. Nickerson, reported against the Polombia resolution to memorialize congress to change the Volstead ‘act in favor of light wines and beer, on the ground that Connecticut senators and representatives are able to look after the state’'s interests. A house bill adopted provides for reci- procity with any other state in exempt- ing from taxation bequests or gifts made by will for charitable purposes. The appropr§ tions: commlttee was. against allowing 3125000 for a new dor- mitory at the Mystic Ora school for the deaf. Oth bills adopted were: In concurrence by the senate: Estab- lishing schools for non-English speaking adults; aliowing an Increase, up $35 a pupil, for conveyance of town children to a high school. By the house: Amending of the Eastern Connecticut Power Com- pany ; amending the optometry law: pro- viding for taking streets as an approach to the state pier at New London; amend- ing the Ponemah Mills charter and the Rockville-Willimantic Lighting Company charter. The senate adoptad an appropriation of $17.500 for incidental purposes at the Connecticut School For Boys. When the prohibition bill was taken up Senator Seymour said that if he had his way beer would be sold in every drug store and grocery that cared to do He offered an amendment to ex- clude reference to light wines and beer from the bill. Senator Delaney said the £0. amendment conflicted with the federal amendment. Senator Seymour replied |that the state could pass laws for its own citizens.
