A SPECIAL SESSION.
Governor of Montana Calls for Relief
 Laws,

HELENA, Mont, .>0r. 11.-Governor Toole has called a special session of the legislature to meet at Helena to pass laws to relieve the industrial con- dition in Montana caused by the shut ting down of the Amalgamated Copper company's properties, whereby 15,000 persons were directly thrown out of work and 15,000 more affected.
 The aim of the session is to pass a law whereby mining cases may be talk en from one court to another when the judge in the initial court is shown to be prejudiced.
 Other legislation of like character has also been promised. A so called fair trial bill of the character proposed was passed by the last legislature, but was decided by the supreme court to be unconstitutional on technical grounds. Recently at Butte Judge Will liam Clancy of the district court gave a decision in which he said that he might appoint a receiver at any time for the Boston and Montana company, one of the largest constituent com- panteS of the Amalgamated. The de- cision was made on the application of John MacGinnis, a prominent holder of stock in the properties controlled by F. Augustus Heinze of the Montana Ore Purchasing company, which has been at war with the Amalgamated for years.
 Upon this announcement by Judge Clancy President William Scallon of the Anaconda Mining company and general manager of the Amalgamated issued orders to shut down all the Amalgamated properties, in Montana and elsewhere, declaring that the com pany, unable to secure judicial fair ness in the courts, could not continue in business. Since that time Governor Toole has been overwhelmed with pe- titions signed by thousands of citizens of Montana asking him to call a spe- ctal session to pass laws to relieve the conditions.
 The works of the Amalgamated conn., pany will at once resume in various parts of the state. This includes the greater mines in Butte, the smelters or the Washoe company in Ana conda, the largest in the world; the smelters of the Boston and Montana company in Great Falls, also vast in their ca pac1ty; the coal mines at Storrs, Belt, Oakdale and in Wyoming; the great quarry in northern Montana and the immense lumber industries in western and northwestern Montana.
 The resumption of the Amalgamated properties means the return to work of approximately 10000 men and the averting of an industrial crisis in Mon tana, as the Amalgamated Copper oper- ates in at least six different counties. In Butte alone it restores a pay roll of about $25,000 a day. Seven thousand men will resume work in Butte this morning

A. o. U. W. MUDDLE.
action of the Conference at Hartford
 Yesterday.

Hartford, Nov il. - Twenty nine lodges of Workmen were represented at the conference in Columbia hall yes terday in response to the call of Union lodge of Mantle. A. O. U. w, to pro- test against the action of the grand lodge in endorsing the new assessment rates. The idea in calling the confer ence is to perfect an appeal from tha grand lodges action and secure spe- ciaI sitting of the body when action may be taken to rescind the former vote. James R. White of Union lodge presided after John J. Howard of Is- raeI Putnam lodge of New Haven had declined to serve as either chairman or secretary. He said, however, that his lodge favored an appeal. The claim was made in the meeting that num- Der of delegates from Bridgeport did not follow out the instructions of their lodges. The grand lodge was criti- cised in uncomplimentary terms by a number of the delegates.
 At the afternoon session the follow ing resolution was adopted:
 "Whereas, The vote of the grand lodge of Connecticut at it's session held in Bridgeport on October II, 1903, fix ing new and higher rates of assess ment is injurious to the best interests of the A. o. U. W. in Connecticut:
 Therefore we respectfully petition you, Grand Master Workman Hugh A. Keenan, to call a special meeting of the grand lodge for the purpose of re- pealing the laws relating to assess ments for the beneficiary and guaran- tee funds. and re-enacting the classi- fed assessment plan now prevailing"
 After the passage of this resolution the meeting adjourned.
 Among the lodges represented were these: Wordsworth. of Derby; Gary. of Mystic; Sprague. of New London; Un- cas. of Montville; Union, of Niantic' Manchester of Manchester; Rockville, of Rockville; Putnam, of Putnam; Lebanon, of Lebanon: Ashland, oi Jewett City: Taft. of Taftville: Staf- ford. of Stafford Springs: Volunteer. of Voiuntown: Windsor. of Windsor: Col onel Ledyard. of Norwich: Bristol. of Bristol; Terry. of Tnrryville; Colches. for.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Mother Sent to Jail-Daughter Put on
 Probation.

Mother sent 10 JAlk-DauBntSE EuI oA
 Probation.
 Judge Cowell held city court to-day and he was perplexed to decide the cases against Mrs Nora Reardon and her daughter Nellie. Both were charged with intoxicat1on in the Red house on Abbott avenue yesterday af- z ternoon Judge Cowell said it would 5 be kindness to the woman herself and to the community at large if there would allow the woman to be drowned in it. The daughter Is all right until S the mother finds her and then both get intoxicated. Prosecutor Durant said there was no place for the woman but s the jail until a reformatory is provid- \ ed. She could not stay in Woodbury, where she had been working most of the summer. because she had too far to go for drink. Mrs Reardon was sentenced to Jail for thirty days and the daughter was put on probation for the same term.
 Fred B. Styles of Simonsville was given thirty days for intoxication. Mi chael Breen was also given thirty days for the same offense.
 James DoWd was charged with in toxication and breach of the peace. He was arrested by Officer McNiff on the complaint of Dowd's mother. The of hcer found evidence of prolonged de- hauch in the house. He was told that Dowd has not drawn a sober breath since he was released from jail in Sep tember. He was sent to jail for six fy days, thirty days on each complaint. He said he would take an appeal on the charge of breach of the peace, but withdrew when told he would have to stay in jail till next February. Thir was a bluff. He would have to stay only till next month. but Dowd did not know the difference and 1t was just as well for him.
 A case against a Mrs Kenso for breach of the peace was continued to tomorrow morning.
 A boy named Charles Smith, aged 12, was charged with starting fires in the cellar of four-family building on Cottage. place. It seems the boy has firsbug tendencies and has become a menace to the occupants of the build ing. After school it was his habit to start a fire in the cellar, and as the !. partitions there are merely boards there was great danger. Several times the boy was warned against starting fires. but the habit had got too tight hold on him and his people determined it would be better to give him les son. He was accordingly arrested this morning. Apparently he was brought to his senses, for he seemed to realize his position and cried profuse- lv. He promised to start no more fires and said the reason he started them was to give him light while he was breaking wood. His case was continued thirty days and if there are fires in the meantime in the building mentioned the boy will be sent to jail surely.

A STATE REFoRMAToRy.
Prosecutor Durant Says the Need of
 Such an Institution is Felt.


 Such an Institution Is Felt.
 Prosecuting Attorney Durant of the city court has evidently started a movement for state reformatory. During the past few weeks he has re- peatedly stated in the city court the need of such an institution. There Is no attempt made in Connecticut to re- form criminals, or even minor offend CTS against the law. They are all sent to Jail for certain period, after which they are sent adrift. Every community in the state has it's partic- ular number of old rounders. Water bury has many of them because, as MT Durant has said time and time again, there Is no other place to send them to, and there Is no effort made to make better citizens of them as there is made elsewhere. Almost ev- cry other state in the union has re- formatory or some kind of an inst1tu- ton where persons are sent who have established records in the criminal courts. But Connecticut has none. So far as known. just now, Attorney Du- rant Is the first official of a criminal court to point out the necessity of reformatOry.
