 PROJECTED HOSPITAL Sum Cut Down From $10O,- 900 to $6O, 900 by House
 at Hartford. $l5,OO FOR ARMORY Many Minor Matters Passed by Both Houses of
 Legislature.
$l5,OO FOR ARMoRY

Hartford, June 4.-In the senate, to- day, the bill to have the committee on cities and boroughs hold hearings on the charter amendments of Bridgeport in that city was rejected. This was urged by Senators Donnelly and Mo- Neil early In the session, as 1t would give the people of that city ample op- portunity to be heard on proposed changes.
 In the house the special committee appointed to inquire into the attitude of the railroad commissioners in abruptly closing a hearing on the Folly Brook matter, was presented. The committee found that the commission CTS were within their legal rights in closing the hearing and the report mentioned the fact that the cost of making the bridge changes was con- siderable It was recommended that the matter go to the committee on ap- propriations and this was done.
 The senate passed concurrently the resolution providing for constitu- tional amendment in which the salary of members of the general assembly is increased to. $50O and the terms of judges of probate are extended to four years instead of two. The amendment is to be voted on at the next state elec- ton.
 Among the favorable reports made to the house to-day were these:
 Appropriating $15,000 to complete Troop A armory In New Haven; au- thorizing bond issue of $600OO for a contagious disease hospital in New Ha- ven; concerning board of estimates and taxation in Norwalk; paying Marvin H. Tanner of Winchester for services as holding over as a representative: restoring rights to Richard S. Ross of NIiddlefield.
 Unfavorable reports included those on bills to regulate the practice of dentistry; concerning Illuminating gas and oils. and concerning the vestibul- ing of street railway cars.
 In the senate the reports included a favorable one on incorporation of the New Britain lodge of Elks and unfav- orable concerning a change in the tax on inheritances.
 IA resolution appointing John W. Tur- till and William q. Robbins. commits sioners of the ferry between Rocky ! Hill and Glastonbury was sent to the calendar. The resolution which had been recommitted concerning the Colo gnial Title and Guarantee company was again recomniitted. this time to the committee on interpretations.
 From the senate calendar was passed the amendments to the charter of the Danbury hospital and to the charter of the Knights of Columbus.

GREAT WHALING RECORD. Brig Sullivan, Owned in Norwich, Re- ports Splendid Luck During Voyage.

Brig Sullivan, Captain Haggerty, of ford May 27, 1905, arrived at Litt'e Fish Bay, coast of Africa, Saturday, and a cable received in New Bedford Satur- da afternoon not only reported her ar rival, but the fact that she had taken 1000 barrels of sperm oil since leaving Cape Town February 6.
 This is record cut, as on that date she had slowed down 2.240 barrels of sperm, and this additional catch makes her total figure up 3,240 barrels taken since leaving New Bedford on the date named above,
 It is seldom that vessel makes such a cut as Coptain Haggerty has done in the Sullivan, his average since leaving the home port being 135 barrels a month, and in the balmy days of whal- ing 100 barrels of oil a month was con- sidered great whaling.

 It is stated by members of the union that including the carpenters, who have been thrown out of work, and whose sympathies are with the strikers, about 475 men are affected by this dispute. II is understood that only few small building contracts in the city are now tied un, but if the strike should be a long one, and the material turned out by the mill workers run show, building operations will be quite generally stop ped, because the carpenters union has voted not to work with material turned out by non union men.

THE ANTl-TIPPING
BILL ENDORSED.
WASHINGTON BUSINESS MEMS
ASSOCIATION URGES
ITS PASSAGE.

Washington, Feb. 21,-The Bust
ness Mems Association has flled with
the District Commissioners the fol-
lowing resolution with reference to
the tipping evil in the District and
indorsing the passage OF the Anti
Tipping bill:
Whereas the custom of giving
and receiving what are known in
common parlance as tips is un-
American and has tendency to
lower the standard of American
citizenship by placing upon the re-
cipients of tops the stigma OF beg
gary; and
Whereas the act OF giving tips
is of higher rank. class or standing
than the recipients thereof. thus
creating feeling of class distinction
or social inequality, which is at war
with the principles of republican in
stitutions; and
Whereas the solicitation OF tips
places upon respectable vocations
the badge OF servility; and
Whereas the practice OF tipping
has reached such enormous proper
lions that the service of stewards.

Ing houses in the District OF Column

fair and unjust to guests OF said
places who are financially unable
or who have courage 20 refuse to

they are of right entitled; therefore.
be it
Resolved, That the Business Mems
Association of the District of Column
bia hereby indorses and earnestly
recommends the passage OF the bill
known as H. r. 252S2, having for
its object the doing away with the

Resolved further, That the sec
