MEASURE AIMED
At BLUE LAWS IN
CONNECTICUT

Hartford. Conn. June 20.-A new Sun
day observance law was reported TO the
general assembly yesterday and its provi-
sions are considered TO be very liberal.
especially when contrasted with the So
called "blue laws" OF Connecticut. under
which there are recurrent crusades
against the sale of such articles as cigars
and newspapers on Sunday.
Under the proposed law. butcher, baker
and barber shops and bootblacking stands
may be kept open certain hours on Sun
day, and the sale OF confectionery, ice
cream, soda water, tobacco and newspa-
pers is permitted, sports may be held.
provided no admission fee Is charged or
any gratuity collected unless for charity
and provided they do not create a dis
turbance. The proposed law permits the
holding OF entertainments, except those
OF a dramatic character. Communities are
given the right OF local option on the mat
ter OF sports. and entertainments, for
which permits will be necessary.
The Anti-Bucket Shop bill has passed
both branches OF the general assembly. 1t
will go into effect July 1, 1908. Another
bill which has been passed prohibits all
manner of pool selling and makes owners
or lessees OF buildings In which pool
rooms are located liable TO the same pen
alties as shall be imposed on pool sellers.

OF the ontadio and Western railroad,
which has been contemplated by the New

plans for a merger with the Boston ana

together alluring, and there are many
doubts as to whether the offer will be sc-
cepted.

given at $5 n share or approximately the
price paid by the New Haven company at
the timo the ontario and Western was
bought. To this price some interest is to
be added.

on the first OF next month. To take up the
option will require the New York Central
TO pay some sls.cOo,oco or sli.OOo.oco and to
pay some 10 points more for the stock
