HARTFORD, Jan. 27.-[Special. MANY
strangers were present again yesterday
at the Capitol in anticipation of
lively times on the converting of the
general assembly and many rumors were
afoat as to what the action of the house
committee on examination of returns
would be. This committee was in session
the greater part of last night and this
morning, but as has transpired they were
not prepared to report, although yesterday
they wore ready, 30 it is said on good
authority. To-day, however, they seemed
to have struck some obstacles; but it is
expected they, Will report Wednesday.
The senate.
Promptly at 1 o'clock the senate came
to order, and after prayer by the chap
lain, Senator Clark (rep.) of the Twenty
first presented by request of Major Nc
Manus petition as regards an act con-
corning dentistry, and asked that it be re-
ferred to the Judiciary committee to be
raised.
Senator Holden (dem.) wished to amend
the motion by laying it on the table. The
latter motion was carried. The petition
asks for the appointment by the governor
of five persons, to be known as the dental
commissioners who are to be provided
with room at the capitol and hold Office
two years. The persons to be appointed
commissioners shall have been for at least
ten years previous to such appointment q
practitioner of dentistry in this state and
in good standing in the profession. The
petition also asks that the commissioners
wishing to practice dentistry to obtain q
license, and that such license shall not be
granted unless the candidate for said Ii
cense shall have received q diploma or
other sufficient certificate of honorable
graduation from some reputable dental
college or medical college having depart
ment in dentistry and duly recognized as
such by the laws of the state and county
in which such college is situated; or un-
less said candidate has been assistant to
some reputable dentist for at least three
years; or unless he has practiced as den
fist for three years; this not, however, to
prevent regular physicians from perform
ing dentistry when necessary. The petit
ton prays further for power to revoke all
licenses for cause, and that candidate fol-
license shall pay twenty-five dollars
for the same, but if he fail to obtain the
| license twenty dollars shall be returned
| to him, also asks that penalty Of not
| less than twenty dollars nor more than
| fifty dollars be imposed for the practice OF
! dentistry in the state without license
making one week as the limit of time IN
| which the continuation of practice with
out license, can be construed as g
separate offense; also provides that sec
of 1888 be repealed. The passage of thiI
act would be great protection to regula,
practitioners as well as suffering humanity
| in general, as it is direct blow aimee
| at quacks and those who manage to OBJ
| tain diplomas through fraud and other
| wise dishonesty.
On motion Of Senator Seymour, dem.
seconded by Senator Clark, DEM, the sen
ate took recess until 1:30 p. m.
AFTER RECESS.
At 1880 the senate came to again an,
Senator PIERCE DEM, said as there was nj
business to come before the senate, b
would move to adjourn until tomorrow a
1880 o'clock in the forenoon.
Senator Clark, rep, Twenty First
had motion I desired TO hand in an
have some understanding about if posi-
BILE a motion to amend the journal of tn
senate, as I see something about it tina
don't seem quite correct, and I wish
amend the same. The motion asked ths
the journal of the senate be amended &
that it would appear on record that Lief
tenant Governor Merwin presided la.
week, and also show the form of his &C
dress to the senate at that time.
Senator Pierce, DEM, of the Fourt
was out of order.
Senator Clark think the gentleman {
the Fourth out of order, and ask for ii
opinion of the chair on that motion.
Speaker Read, dem.-The chair will d
eide that the motion is in order.
Senator C1ark-Mr. President, woul
call the attention of the body to article
section 9, of the constitution, which say
'tEach house shall keep journal of i
proceedings and publish the same when r
quired by one-fifth of its members, excel
such parts as in the Judgment of major
ty require secrecy. The yeas and nays {
the members of either house shall, at tt
| desire Of one-fifth of those present, be Ell
i tered on the journals"
:, I think the fathers in 1918 thought of
case like this where the majority migl
override the minority The section, as yc
| vote of one-ffth of all the members. Whe
we voted on this last week seven out I
twenty-four voted to amend, so I must i
sist on this amendment and hope the OF
D ers will do likewise.
, Senator Fox, dem, of the Eighth-f Il
honorable senator would read the constit
: ton he would see it should not be put O.
Q The matter was not part of the doings
the senate and therefore I claim that
should not be put on the records. T.
clerk cannot record the act that Lieute
u ant Governor Merwin came in here as gu,
Q lieutenant governor when the senate hs
q declared DR.. Alsop lieutenant governor al
it was matter of record. The rules 8,
the proceedings of the house and not Il
actions of claimants are to be consider,
!, matters of record.
{ Senator Clark, rep.-As I understal
in here and called the senate to orde
t There is no question about the time
: Lieutenant Governor Merwin's address
the prayer. The senator from the Eigh
was here and did not object. He shou
1 have objected at that time. He did nc
8 and I insist that the clerk should ent
0 upon the journal the facts. The minori
! should have some rights. I say on n
honor I don't believe it would be fair n
> to have this on the records. I believe t.
9 constitution gives US the right to have
there, and I insist in its being put there.
4 On the chairman putting the questi,
the motion of Senator Clark was not !
7 ceived
: The previous motion to adjourn W
/ then put and carried.
The House.
The galleries and available room on t
house floor were crowded when the hou
came to order this morning, dispite the I
NOR that the house committee did not j
/ tend to report to-day. After prayer
= the chaplain the petitions for city charte
for Norwalk and Ansonia were put in q
, referred to the proper committee to
raised.
70 Representative Hall of Wallingford ma
l. a motion that no unofficial matter be
" lowed to be placed on the desks of t
members. After some discussion as
what such rule might bar out in the W
's of newspapers, etc., the matter was
If ferred to the committee on rules to
a raised.
THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS BILL.
" Mr.. Walker of Hartford, dem., n.
'. offered resolution asking the senate
a. and representatives to vote against I
q federal elections bill.
