TO STOP BEER PEDDLING.
Arguments Pro and Con Heard by
 the Excise Committee.

Arguments Pro and Con Heard by the Excise Committee. Hartford, Feb 14.-When the ex. else committee called up for hearing yesterday the bill for a liquor dis. pensary in the town of Bristol, the bill was withdrawn. Its sponsor, G. w. Hull of Bristol, said recent de- velopments in South Carolina had made 1t doubtful whther the dispen- sary system would be advisable at this time. He offered substitute measure, however. to be of general instead of local application.
 The substitute, which Is directed against beer peddling, provides that "all deliveries of spirituous and in- toxicating liquors shall take place only in places where license for the sale of the same has been received from the board of county commis- sioners."
 The only exception to this rule shall be in the case of the delivery of liquors from a brewery, distillery or wholesale liquor dealer to retail dealer or druggist. Mir Hull also presented a petition signed by a num- Der of Bristol citizens in favor of the substitute measure.
 Mfr Hull spoke in behalf of the sub stitute and he was supported by Mat thew E. 0'Brien of Bridgeport. E. l.. c. Hohenthal of South Manchester and Rev Duane \ Griffin of Hart ford. Mir Griffin was iI favor of pre- venting deliveries of liquor even in the places where the licenses are granted. There are enough station ary saloons" he said, without hay ing them on wheels"

FIRE ON A BARGE.
Vessel Was Destroyed Grew, It Is
 Thought, Escaped.

VlueydTQ f1AVeA, MdSS, reD H.
 One of the three barges anchored at
 Nobska yesterday by the tug Tacony
 caught Ire early to-day and was en- tirely destroyed. It is believed the crew escaped in their boat to one of
 the other barges. The three, The
 Ardmore, Pemberton and Oxford,
 were so far from the lighthouse at
 West Chop. the keeper of which dis
 covered the fire, that he could not
 make out which one was the burning
 barge. He observed the flames first in the forward part of the vessel and
 1t is supposed they started in the en- zine room. Within a short time the barge was entirely ablaze. Word was sent this forenoon to the Tacony which was at Woods Hole.
 The Tacony with the three barges, all light, was bound from Boston for South Amboy. Early yesterday morn- ing the end barge. the Ardmore, col lided with the four-masted schooner Katherine D. Perry. Baltimore for Portland. which was at anchor off Tarpaulin cove. The Ardmore was undamaged, but the Perry was cut into from rail to waters edge, ten feet from the bow, and began to leak badly. The Talcony anchored her barges off Nobska and lowed the schooner into vinyard Haven harbor. The tug then went to Woods Hole. The tug and barges are owned by the Coal company of New York.
 Later the keeper of the Nobska light reported that he saw the crew of the burning barge leave in small boat and go aboard one of the other barges. The barge which was de- stroyed was the Pemberton and the crew escaped to the Oxford. The Tacony ran out to the scene. then returned to Woods Hole to report the accident to the owners of the barge. The Pemberton was valued at S25.- poo and was not insured.

 The Providence Towboat com pany's tug Roger Williams, chartered by Joy line of1cials. left to-day for Block Island to bring to this city the bodies found yesterday afternoon. It was planned to return here this af- ternoon. Dr John c. Champlin, med- ical examiner for New Shoreham who came here on the Kentucky yester- day, returned to the island on the tug as 1t Is necessary for him to view the bodies there before they can be re- moved.
 Before leaving pr Champlain certi- fled to the death of all the victims whoes bodies were brought here yes- terday by the Kentucky. In each case he gave the cause of death as freezing. Not one of the persons had been drowned, the terrible cold al- most instantly freezing to death those who were plunged into the wa ter while others were frozen in boats or on rafts or pieces of wreckage.

No More Bodies.

Block Island, R. l., Feb 14.-No more bodies came ashore here during the night to add to the twenty-two which are now being held at the life saving stations to await transporta- tion to Providence. Early in the morning a small fleet of fishing ves- sells went out to search Block Island sound for bodies, but the wind shift ed around to the south southwest and blew so strongly that the boats were compelled to put back into the harbor.
 With the shifting of the wind 1t is believed that no more bodies will be cast ashore here. Wind and tide will now carry them in the direction of Point Judith and Newport across the sound. None of the twenty-two bodies which was brought here last night has been identified and 1t is probable that they will remain un- known until they are viewed in

People Growing Impatient.

Constantinople, Feb 14.-Growing impatience is manifested at the Ger man embassy here owing to the delay of che porte and palace ofiicials in connection with the demands for the punishment of Fehmi Pasha, chief of the secret police of the palace, whose punishment has been demanded as a result of his seizure of a ships cargo intended for Hamburg. It is understood that if Turkish authori- ties do not. soon accord satisfaction the German ambassador will present an ultimatum, which. 1t is added, will undoubtedly result in a speedy settlement of the dispute.

Io keep nm lnIOrmeQ- Dy telopnOno
 of the condition of his wife.
 A lingering illness and then the
 death of Mrs Bolton, 1t was stated to-
 day, would mean such long delay
 In the trial that Justice Fitzgerald
 might feel 1t necessary to order an-
 other panel for the tedious work of selecting new jury.
 Thaw was much cast down yester- day by the developments. Lawyer
 Peabody had g hard time calming him. Thaw was told that at the worst there would be only delay of few days, and then, after a chat with his wife in the Tombs, he re- gained his composure and sat down to his evening meal with a fairly good appetite.
 If Mrs Bottoms condition war rants 1t and the trial is resumed to- day, Harry Thaw's will, the docu- ment in which, it is said, he provides a fund of $50,000 for the prosecu- ton of his slayer in case he should die a violent death, and the codicil to that will, in which. 1t is said, he makes provision for fund of $75,- 900 for the benefit of several young women, whose names are supposed to be in the document, and whom he believed to have been the vic- tims of Stanford White, will be again offered in evidence.
 After court adjourned yesterday the will was turned over to District Attorney Jerome, that he might study 1t and decide whether or not he would object to its admission. If he does not, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will be called to the stand to continue her testimony, which was interrupted for the purpose of allowing the experts to tell of Thaw's mental condition.
 From the present indications Dis trict Attorney Jerome will practical ly close the case of the defense. He has allowed three cross-examinations to be passed, those of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, Dr Charles G. Wagner and Dr Britton D. Evans. He will wait until the last minute to cross-examine these witnesses and then will add to what he succeeds in getting from them the evidence of his own ex- perts and his other witnesses in re- buttal.
 MT Jerome, with counsel for Thaw, talked last night with witnesses for the defense who have been called to testify as to alleged insanity in the collateral branches of the Thaw fam fly. This was done to save time to the jury. MT Jerome, having no of what these witnesses would tell when called to the stand. would, he said,. be obliged to inter- pose all the technical objections pos ,ible, even though the testimony as It finally came out would not be ob- |ectionable.
 The testimony of Dr Evans. which vas concluded yesterday afternoon, las laid the fodndation for the intro- lucti0n of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's tes- imony regarding what she says rhaw told her regarding other girls whose fate at the hands of Stanford | White was similar to hers.
 The report is again current that | Grs- Charles J. Holman, mother of | Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, will be called IS a witness for the state by District | Attorney Jerome. It Is stated that drs Holman, since the revelations made by young Mrs Thaw, has ex- 'ressed desire to be called as a and she is said to have told !, representative of District Attorney erome that she wished to deny cer- ain portions of her daughters testi- nony.

Some Securities Recovered.

New Britain, Feb 14.-Reports were current here this morning that the New Britain Savings bank had recovered $45,O00 worth of securi- ties. President Corbin stated that securities to that amount, which 1t was feared were missing, had been located in a New York bank. Their recovery, however, does not affect the amount of shortage which is $565,000. It was very calm at the bank to-day. The statement of the directors yesterday afternoon quieted most of the apprehension.

Fox Before Judiciary.

Hartford, Feb 14.-George l.. Fox,
 of New Haven this afternoon appear
 cd before the judiciary committee on
 his resolution regarding the election
 and seating of senators. The specific
 case is that of Senator Homan of the
 10th district, whom Mir Fox wants un-
 seated as the result of alleged cor
 rupt practices indulged in by the sem
 at0r at the November election. James
 N. States was declared elected, but
 on the recount of the ballots ordered
 by the general assembly, Mir HOman,
 the republican candidate was given
 the seat The resolution Mir Fox of
 fers is as follows:
 Resolved: That within thirty days of the passage of this resolution pc titiOn may - presented to any judge of the supellor court, under section
 112 of chapter 2SO of the public acts of 1905. naming as defendant any party who was candidate for state senator at the general election held November 6, 1906, and who failed to receive his certificate as successful candidate at such election. and has since been declared elected by the senate. Said petition shall be pro- ceeded with in all respects as though said petition had been brought against candidate, declared success full at said election in in accordance with provisions of chapter 2S0 of the public acts of 1905.
 In speaking before the judiciary committee NIT Fox said: Section 12 of <,ft tf.S .f referred to in the resolution. so far as 1t affects the election of members of the senate in the general assembly, simply furnishes an additional source of evidence. The senate of course is the final judge of the qualification of it's own members. and section 12 was not intended to do more than to fur nish information and evidence to the senate in the case of contest.
 ''In this particular case the act was ineffective because 1t was not made applicable to any but those who ap- peared to be successful candidates, Tn other words, those were declared elected. The resolution offered Is an to heal that defect. As 1t now stands if the wrong man is de ,lared elected. 1t prevents the inquiry provided for In the act of 1905. It prevents the inquiry under the stat ne. that is. by an election and non- partisan court into the character of inc election of the really successful candidate.
 Tt Is obvious that the statute of I905 so far as 1t affects the election if representatives has nothing puni- i've in its character. cannot In any 'ense be called criminal or penal. and ts purpose Is simply to furnish evil lence. The act furnishes only evil lence to the assembly and 1t is too lear for argument that such evil lence cannot be used in any criminal rial Even so far as it affects other 'fficials whose qualifications are not by any representative ,ody. it Is not even a criminal statute IS affects them. It provides that the lection of people who have been utility of corrupt practices may be set side. except members of the general | and the senate and congress f the United States. but there is no | revision that the evidence can be | Ised in any criminal trial.-
 Mir Fox quoted several decisions to | how at the proposed resolution can ot be any post facto law.

 Washington, Feb I4.-"I can see no good reason why the remunera- tion of congressman should be in- creased" said Congressman George L. Lilley yesterday. Those who are serving their country in the house of representatives or senate should not do so from mere desire for com pensation."
 To me 1t seems that $5,00O a year salary Is amply sufficient for members of congress-, and indeed, I believe that If the salaries were $500 a year instead of $5,OO0 there would be just as hard a fight for the seats ill the national legislature" Mir Lilley is confined to his bed with the grip and probably will not be able to attend congress for several days.
