"The bill provides. for licenses all the
way from 5000 to 81 1000. 1t provides for
the closing of the full saloon, but will

bottle. | have noticed in several cases

drinking Of liquor from the bottle and

Gus piece of class legislation. 1t has
been said here that there is a desire to
crush the saloon. What will the aver
age poor man think of that? This legls-
lation will allow the rich man to pur-
chase by the case or the bottle and
drink in his residence. It's not the
teaching Of statistics that the lessening
of the number of saloons does not lessen
the sale of liquors. 1t will increase the
sale of the adulterated and the strong
er liquors.

and was followed by Attorney Albert H.
Walker of this city, who spoke against
the bill transferring granting of licenses
from the commissioners to the courts.

THE CHARGES AGAINST COLONEL
HORNE.
There was al meeting early this morn
ing of the committee on executive nom
nations to hear the charges against
Colonel Horne, the appointee of Gov
ernor Coffin for labor commissioner.
The hearing was behind closed doors
and none Were admitted except those
who were to address the committee,
and the governors private stenograph-
er, who recorded all that was said.
The session continued for two hours,
and during that time R. p Kenyon and
Mr.. Burnham of Gemmil, Durham &
Co. made charges against Colonel
Horne, said to cast serious reflections
upon his personal character. What
these charges are, however, the COM
mittee and those making them decline
to state publicly.
Colonel Horne read letters and state
ments, besides making a personal state
ment, denying absolutely the truth of
the charges made.
The committee, at the close of the
hearing, visited the governor and held
a consultation with him. Later they
i
among themselves, but they made no
report.
Colonel Horne in private conversa-
ton repeated his denial of the charges
made, and intimated that whatever the
outcome of this investigation be, wher
this committee reports he will sue for
SANDER.
THE OYSTER POLICE BILL.
The members of the house have evil
IDENTIFY changed front on the oyster po-
lice bill and it looks now as if 1t would
be killed. In the house this afternoon
just before adjournment Mr.. Allen of
Sprague made motion to recall the bill
from the senate. The oystermen made
a strong fight to defeat his motion, but
lost by eleven votes, Then on motion
to adjourn the house refused, so to 6S.
The house then by an overwhelming
majority voted to reopen the discussion
of the bill tomorrow. Some of the mem
bers are strong in their denunciation
of it's provisions, and say that it is a
rank piece of class legislation. A COM
mittee was appointed to recall the bill
which slipped through the house so
nicely last week, and tomorrow morn
ing a motion will be made to reconsider
the measure. If that is carried the fate
of the measure will be sealed.
WINCHESTER AVENUE FARES.
In the house this afternoon the bill |
for the reduction of fares on the Win
chester avenue road again went over
because of the absence of Chairman |
Smith j. Kingsley Blake, an attorney |
Of New Haven, placed on each desk in |
the house the argument of ]. Gardiner |
Clark in favor of reduced fares on the |
road. There is evidently a determined
effort on foot to carry the measure.

fudge Cowell, has prepared a substitute
dill, approved by the petitioners, on
which the fight will be made if the COM
