Many Reports Made and Much Business
 Transacted.
 The committee on judicial nominations re- ported favorably on resolution reappoint- ing Lucien F. Burpee judge of the city court of Waterbury. The report was accepted and the resolution passed, though Mir. Sweeney, of Naugatuck, voted No vOciferously. Mr. Sweeney some time ago introduced re- monstrance against Judge Burpee as a re- suit of the trolley strike troubles, but it was unavailing.
 The bill introduced by Mir. Smith, ot Harf- ford, which provided that upon every bill or resolution creating any corporation with q capital stock a franchise fee of S1 for each $1,OO0 of capital stock, ill no case less than $50, be paid for the use of the state, was unfaVorabiy reported and rejected.

 NOTES.
 Considerable debate was caused by the disagreeing action on house bill 146. which provides that If the savings bank book of any deceased person is destroyed, lost stOl- en, concealed or taken beyond jurisdiction of courts of this state the eXecutOr or ad- ministrator may apply to the probate court, alleging such facts, which court upon proof, sail order the bank to pay the deposit. The motion to recommit prevailed.
 Secretary Thrasher made his usual plea before the appropriations committee in Hartford Tuesday in behalf of an appropri- ation of S10,000 for the Law and Order league. President Bowen, of the league, representative from Woodstock; Assistant Secretary Prince and number of others backed him up. There was no opposition except from Lawyer Spelacy, of Hartford, who held that there was sufficient machin- cry without the league, Some of the ques- were rather pointed Their object was to tend to make, the local constabulary lazy. MT. Thrasher's replies may be imagined. When asked if some of his men did not try to get people to commit crime in order to secure conviction he replied: Never, never, never" He said he was often misrepreSent- ed by local enemies. For instance, the pa pers at one time were full of reports of his attempts to break up gambling and stop illegal liquor selling in Waterbury, when in reality he was doing nothing of the kind. The New Haven County Anti Tuberculosis association made good showing before the appropriations committee in pressing its petition for 5000. Dr. J. r. C. Foster, of New Haven, told how a large amount had been subscribed already, and if funds were obtained from the state work could be be gun very soon. The idea was to put up an excellent hospital at Walingford. Many ia. vored the appropriation and no one opposed it.
