A NORMAL SCHOOL

Assured for New Haven Within Four Years-Women Can Vote at School Elections, So Says the House-The Medical Bill Passes-The Prison Committee at Wethersfield = The Committee Divided = The Morris
 Cove Hearing Ended-The Senate
 and House.
 HARTFORD, May 11.-[Speeial l-The senate to-day passed, after lengthy dis cussion, the bill providing for Q normal school at New Haven and ono at Bridge port, with an appropriation of $100, 900 to each. Senator Crandall, chairman of the committee on education, in behalf of the bill, said: The lower part of the state is deserving of normal school facilities as we'll as the central and eastern, and New Haven entered into generous rivalry as to which city should be chosen. The com mitte concluded unanimously that each city ought to have school, and that the population in those sections warranted such @ proposition. The bill takes only $25, ,000 annually from the state treasury until the schools are completed and in op- eration. If more is needed, the two cities are to advance the money, without charg- ing to the state any interest. The bill al lowed $100, ,OOo for each building, allow ing either city to put up more expensive building and pay for 1t.
 After Senators Fox, Morgan, Houlthan, Holden and Jones had all spoken in favor | of the bill, Senator Pierce humorously suggested that to save time all the other ! senators intending to talk in favor of the bill have leave to print their speeches. The bill was then passed by a unanimous vote. While the senate were passing this bill the house was busy discussing bill conferring upon women the right to vote at school elections. The committee on womens' suffrage reported the bill favor
 ably, and it was passed without opposi. ton.
 | The medical practice act was next taken ! up and passed, after adding an amend. l ment compelling physicians to write pre-. | scriptions in English when requested to dc 30. It was expected that the bill would meet with much opposition in the house
 but none whatever developed.
 The state prison committee held an ex. eoutive session last night and the question ] of whether they should go into the Carpen. ter Chamberlain scandal was fully discuss l ed. MT. Beardsley of the committee de | sired to investigate the case in every par | ticular, but MT. Jones objected to this or over the matter before and he thought ths prison committee should not again probe into @ case so painful to the warden. MT Root agreed with MT. Beardsley tha, | if during the warden's term he had beer | guilty of immoral conduct to wards females
 at the prison the matter should be investi | gated just as much as anything else, despit, l what the board of directors had found Colonel Mowry agreed with Dr. Jones, ant
 a vote on the matter resulted in tie, tn, republican members refusing to consider
 and the democrats wanting to. The resul will be that the Carpenter matter will no
 be gone into.
 The committee went to the prison thi, officers and convicts there than to compe them to come to the capitol.
 James Lsmphere and William J. Roberts
 prisoners, were examined. They wer'
 asked the usual questions by the commit
 tee, and being prisoners named by th
 warden, their testimony went to ahow tha
 he was kind warden and followed ou
 the doctors orders in every particular.

 oughs this afternoon the Morris Cove roa,

 pointing ex Judge Dwight Loomis 8 com
 mittee to adjust claims between Hale an
