THE HousE.

There was a long discussion over the bill concerning the age of consent. The
 present law fixes the age at fourteen. The judiciary committee reported in favor of sixteen years and the minority report fixed the age at eighteen years.
 The discussion was largely participated
 in by the members of the judiciary
 committee. After discussion of the matter for an hour and a half the minor | ity report was adopted.
 The house concurred with the senate in striking out the provisions in the
 Law and Order league bill, which pro vide for the payment of money from
 the treasury of the state and passed
 the bill as amended by the senate.
 There was on contest over the matter.
 The bill as passed by both houses sim
 ply incorporates the league; provides
 that at the request of the incorporators
 the governor may appoint one or not
 more than four agents of the league
 who make arrests by warrants in any
 town of the state. The league may ap-
 point persons who, if approved of by
 the superior court, may, at the request
 of prosecuting officers, aid In the prose-
 cution of persons charged with violat-
 ing liquor laws, etc., the fee for such service to be included in the bill of
 costs taxed by the court, the sum not
 to exceed $3 for each case. The league must make annual reports showing how
 much money has been collected and paid out and the names of the persons
 to whom it is paid.

 The committee on temperance has for some time been considering the bill regulating the amount of license fee. Various bills are before the committee, some of which contemplate a fee of s1 ,000, some $500 and others to $900. The sentiment of the general assembly seems to favor fixing the rate at $400 for reissues of licenses and $500 for all | licenses issued to those not previously In the business or opening new saloons. It now looks as if the amount 1f the license fee would be fixed by the l state
 The New Haven county members met | by adjournment to consider the pro- | posed Jail addition. Architect Brown ] was present to explain hls plans. Tn | view of the fact that the committee on humane institutions had not reported l )h the state reformatory bill 1t was deemed best to postpone action until l t was determined what action would | ,e taken in that matter Representa- i've Newton of New Haven says state will receive most of the | women and the younger prisoners, so hat an addition to the jail will not be equired for years.
