manner as to rebound to its credit. l

ed that it was necessary to pass 1t be-
fore April /. The duties of the judge
of the court will be nearly doubled, and

Chairman Warner said in explana-

relating to injury to bicycles on the
highway, that there was another bill
before the judiciary committee affect
ing this matter and would be reported
favorably. There were many objec-
lions to the bill reported unfavorably,
and the committee had thought that it
should be returned to the senate with
out it's Endorsement.
Senator Marigold did not think the
committees report on the bill concern
ing the theft of bicycles should be ac-
cepted and wished that the bill be re-
| committed. He thought if the chair
man of the Judiciary had ridden twenty
miles from home and had in conse-
quence of his wheel being stolen to walk
home,s he would have made different
report.
Chairman Warner explained that the
committee was of the opinion that al
though the bicycle had become almost
as sacred as the family Bible it was
still unnecessary to make a distinction
between bicycles and pianos, etc SEN
ator Warner then read the general stat
utes governing theft, He thought that
was sufficient and it did not seem Just
the thing to send man to states pris-
on for three years

tor ride better wheel, and he could
then send the fellow who stole it to
states prison.
The senator from the Fourteenth re-
torted that they wanted to get at the
New London fellows who come down
into Fairfield and take off even second
hand wheels. The laugh was turned on

House.
The principal part of the time of the
members of the house yesterday was
occupied with the discussion of the bill
providing for the appointment of a
commission for building and loan as
sociations. 1t provides for a salary of
$1,000 year and $500 for expenses.
Mr. Barnes of New Haven said at
the present time the building and loan
associations are in charge of the bank
commissioners. But the work of the
commissioners is growing at such a
rate that they cannot give the building
and loan associations the attention
which is needed. In order to examine
the foreign building and loan associa-
tons it is necessary for commissioner
to go to the states in which they are
located. The bank commissioners say
that the associations should be put into
the hands of an actuary familiar with
their methods These methods require
special knowledge which is not pos
sessed by the ordinary bank commits
sioner or examiner.
In some states the building and loan
associations are not under state super
vision. These could be kept out of this
state by the commissioner
Mr. Heath offered an amendment fix
ing the salary at 81, 500. He said he
is connected with an association whose
assets amount to 100000 He thought
they could get a man for 81 500 a year
who would be competent to examine the
