TIE VETO POWER IS USED.
Governor Chamberlain Does
 Not Like Two NorwaIks

1 He Gives His Reasons in a Communi
 cation Presented in Legislature To day-One of the Reasons Given Is 1 That the New Order of Things
 Would Add Two Members to the
 Legislature and Increase States Ex.
 penses.
 Hagtford, April Ex-Governor Cham berla1n has vetoed the measure incor- porating the new town Of South Nor walk. The communication of the gov ernor gives the following reasons for the veto of the resolutions:
 That all acts passed should be for the welfare of the people affected with out infringement upon the rights of any.
 That the resolution would add two members to the house of representa- tives and increase the state expense. That Norwalk is now the eighth town of the state, having population of 10000, and that under the act it would be about the twentieth.
 That the proposed act provides two town official boards, all of whose duties can be performed as well, and with greater economy, by one board.
 That the aimshouse and town farm are sufficient fnr the present town.
 That the proposed division of moneys collected from past due taxes seems negotiable.
 '"The proposed boundary line is ir- regular and indefinite
 Tt locates within the proposed town of South Norwalk a large amount of property that should naturally remain in the old town
 Being familiar with this territory 1 feel that this proposed boundary line Is unfair to the people in the north ern portion fthe town of NorwaIk.
 The wishes of the people of Nor walk should have consideration. I am. convinced that large majority of the people of Norwalk believe that diyis- ion is inimical to their interests.
 Il believe that free, full expression at the ballot box by the electors of Nor walk upon the division of their town would be an overwhelming majority against it.
 Division would mean loss of pres tige, as one of the large towns of the state; would make NorwaIk an inland town; would give to South Norwalk no advantage which it does not now possess; would tend to destroy rather than promote harmony between peo- pie whose interests are so completely identical and mutual
 Tn my judgment the proposed divis- on would work great injustice to the people of Norwalk and to a majority )f its great substantial interests

 pr Pratt of East Hartford spoke ill favor of the report of the committee rejecting the appeal. MT Cross of Wa terbury launched into some personal remarks at the expense of the last speaker and the chairman sharply called MT Cross to order.

 MT Griswold of Guilford said there was strong public sentiment against vaccination.
 After a two hours debate the oppon- ents of compulsory vaccination car ried the day, rejecting the report of the committee on public healh and safety, which was against the repeal of the vaccination law. At 1 o'clock the pre- yious question was called for and on the closest vote of the session the com mitteIeis report was rejected The vote stood 109 against the committee and 99 for the report of the committee afterwards the bill for the repeal of the vaccination law was recommitted ito the committee by a vote of 101 fo 97.

FAVOR MORTGAGE TAX.
Republican Senator's Agree to Stand
 by Former Caucus Action.

kSepuDAAcan senator's Agree to Stand
 by Former Caucus Action.
 ALBANY, N. Y, April 8.-After a protracted conference of three hours last night the Republican members of the senate decided not to recede from their caucus action on the mortga ge tax bill, which imposes tax of mills on all classes of, mortgages except those exempted by statute
 This action was rather unexpected in view of the fact that Governor OdelI had announced in his message that he believed all the revenue necessary could be raised by a simple tax of 2 mills for recording future mortgages. UT the twenty-eight Republican sena- tors elected twenty-three were present.
 During the afternoon Governor OdeII had conferred with Senators Rafnes Green and Malby and Assemblymen Nixon and Rogers and Lieutenant Gov ernor Higgins. The fact that the three senators present at this conference voted to uphold the former caucus ac- ton is significant, although no definite information as to what plan Governor Odell actually favors or agreed upon with them could be obtained.

Not Yet Ready to Vote on Incorpor&.
 tion

At meeting of the Drug Clerks un~ 1 ion last night there was q short discus- | sion in regard to a resolution concern | ing the incorporation of the unions
 which was introduced at the last meet ing by President c. +. Carpenter. Lagt night in the absence of President Car- penter Press Agent Joseph A. Sundim' spoke in favor of the resolution. IF
 was, however, voted to lay the niattew
 over until the next meeting in order to
 give the members more time to lookl
 into the subject. Press Agent Suudin
 said to-day that he considered 1t thel
 best thing to do-to incorporate the un~
 ion. There would be many benefits
 from so doing. He thought that fila resolution would be passed without
 doubt at the next meeting If the Drug Clerks union votes to Incorporate ih will be the first union in this citv so
 uo so and the second one in the state.
 At the meeting last night the secre- tary was instructed to write to S4eras tary l. F. Kellogg of the Committee Which was appointed by the Wat5r- bury Pharmaceutical association to coy, slider the clerks proposition for short- CT hours. and request a definite an swer ill regard to the proposition. I4 is four months since the union asked the proprietors that the number of hours which the drug clerks should work during a week shall be reduced to sixty-five hours This met with considerable opposition upon tie parE of the proprietors and the clerks com promised by naki,g the rroposition sixty-eight instsad Of sixty-fve horrs. The proprietors appointed Il consn1I+- tee to confer with committee from the clerks in regard to this proposit.on about a month aEo hut IS vet the n~o. prietors have not taken any action as to granting or refusing the reouest The clerks now want to know what they are going to do about It.

Kings Action Makes Him Now an

Kings Action Makes Him Now an | Absolute Monarch. | BELGRADE, April Sizing Alexan der's arbitrary action has caused con,
 siderable. excitement. here, and it is feared disturbances may. result. He is- sued two proclanations, the first de creeing a suspension of the constitu- ton adopted on April 19, 1901, repeal [ ing objectionable laws passed thereun- der by the retiring councillors of state, dissolving the skupshtina and re-enact- Ing the laws as they existed previous to the constitution of 1901. The second proclamation restores this constitution to its former validity.
 King Alexander by his coup d'etat removed the whole Of the nineteen Radical senators whom he himself nominated as a reward for their con- sent to his marrying Queen Draga and replaced them by Liberals and Pro- gressists and neutrals. The senate now contains no Radicals. The new govern ment is now Conservative and military, General Bogioevics being appointed president of the state council and Gen. eral Belimarkovitch president of the senate.
 In a, word, the king has effectually muzzled the opposition by placing his own nominees in all possible offices. including the judiciary and the muni- cipal administration He is now ytrtu- ally an absolute ruler.

Vanderbilt. * The culminating trouble came when a man claiming to be member of the Y. M. 0. A. called upon Mrs Wander bllt with written protest. His ap- pearance was the climax to a series Of protests from societies and individuals, which Mrs Vanderbilt says has dis tressed her almost beyond endurance.
 They have said such unjust things she said. Tt is inspired, I am sure. by the desire to force me out of this business, which I have taken up for the purpose of earning a living. I connect this Y. M. O. A. protest with what have heard about the feeling of certain persons toward my venture here"
