Inspection of the Place-The Storrs
school Bill Becomes a Law-The
House the Only Body In Session.
HARTFORD, April 21.-[Special ]-Busi-
ness was rather dull at the capitol to- day,
the special state prison committee, with
the exception of Senator Jones, who was
at the state prison again to-day, were
taking rest, while the senate did not hold
session, owing to the fact that several of
the senator's had gone to Washington for q
few days.
Governor Morris this afternoon signed
the Storrs school bill, which gives the
money appropriated by act of congress to
the Storrs school, instead of to Yale,
where 1t has always been sent. Yale has
contract with the state that she shall re-
ceive all these moneys, which have now
been ordered sent to Storrs. After sign
ing the Storrs bill Governor Morris started
for the state prison with Senator Jones
and Adjutant General Bradley. He
was received by Acting Warden Ravens
and carefully inspected the institution
throughout. The governor said that IN
view of the Importance of the investiga-
ton he was DESTROYS of having personal
knowledge of the way in which the prison
Is run.
The House.
The echo of the proceedings in the sem
ate yesterday was heard in the house this
morning when Judge Wood of Manches-
ter, the republican leader, introduced a
resolution providing that the committee
on the Putnam memorial camp ground be
empowered to investigate the charges OF
| extraordinary expenditures in caring for
the grounds at Redding. Mr.. SAKE, demo
crat, of Waterbury objected to the passage
of the resolution and moved to table,
which was voted. After spirited debate
during which Mr.. Saxe and Mr.. Roche,
democrats, of New Britain objected to the
consideration of the resolution 1t was made
the special order of the day for Thursday
April 81. Mr.. Porter, rep, of Goshen, was
appointed on the committee on cities and
boroughs in place of the late Mr.. Binton.
Speaker Brooks announced as members of
the new joint standing committee on judi
cial nominations Representatives Spencer
of Saybrook, Walden of Windhsm, Judd
of Stratford, Nation of WATERFOWL, House
of Manchester, Butler of Oxford, Pettin-
gill of Vernon and Narlor of Brooklyn; all
are republicans except the last two, who
are democrats. Upon an unfavorable re-
port from the committee on labor the house
rejected the nine hours factory work bill
and q general nine hours per day labor bill.
The house then took up the favorable
report of the finance committee on q reso-
luton directing them to investigate In re-
gard to the stock tax paid by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad,
the New Haven and Derby road and the
New Haven and Northampton road. In
the senate the resolution had been pre-
viously rejected. Mr.. Ives of Westport
claimed that the stocks had been under
valued in the returns to the board of
equalization last October. The stock of
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad was returned at 1926 to
the state, when in September 1t sold
for 256. A motion by Judge Wood to con-
cur with the senate and reject the resolu-
ton was lost and the matter was tabled to
come up next week.

ing the charter of the city of Meriden, and
resolutions amending the charter of the
