 At the same time," continued the Governor, 'it has not yet been deter mined that the Foot Guard can be placed ill the line of procession as my escort General Bell says it will have to march in the rear, but if this State is going to spend $12,00O or any sum of money for being properly represent ed at the inaugural, we want to be properly represented.

Amendment Gives Right td Council and Tax Board to Refer Question
 to Voters
lin Line With Resolution of Hon. John J. Phelan,
MT. Phelan Remembered at Capitol as Secretary of State and Participant in Series of 'sDeadlock''i Days.
(By our Staff Corres.)

Hartford, Feb. L.-A very importans bill appeared in the Senate, this morn ing. It provides that either the Com mon Council of the city of Bridgeport, or the Board of Apportionment and Taxation of the said city, may submit for the opinion of the voters at a reg- ular election any matter upon which they believe the voters should ba heard.
 The exercise of this power in thg case of the tax board is confined to the submission of the question as td whether or not a particular sum ol money shall b appropriated or not ap- propriated.
 The bill was introduced by Senaton the way for a finished bill, to be ofS fered later as a substitute. 1t is eS< pecially designed to enable the submiy< sion to the voters of the question d an appropriation for a supply of wated under the so-ca1led 20 year water con< tract. This appropriation has bean bone of contention for some years, and it seems that the matter is to be set- tied by a referendum.
 The referendum, it is said, is back< ed by Hon. John J. Phelan, a membed of the tax board in Bridgeport, wha was Secretary of State in the deadlock days, which are memorable in the his- tory of the Capitol. It is also said tq have the endorsement of Hon. Friend w. Smith and other prominent citizenf and manufacturers.

PRESIDENT LEAVES FOR LINCOLN'S
 BIRTHPLACE
Has Prepared Proclamation Making Lincoln Day a Le- gal Holiday in District of Columbia and Territories Will Be Issued When Congress Acts.
Special from United Press.

kOpSCldl lIOIu OIllLcu 1T0SS.J Washington. Feb. 11.-A special train
 bearing President Roosevelt and party left here shortly before noon to-day bound for the scene of LincoIn's birth in Kentucky. The train will arrive in Hodgenville about 1 D. n.. tomorrow, passing through Louisville, en route. Carriages will be taken at Hodgenville for the old Lincoln farmhouse three
 miles out in the country where the President, Governor Millson of Ken lucky. Secretary of War Wright and other distinguished guests will partici-
 pate in the laying of the cornerstone of the Lincoln Memorial. The principal address of the day will be made by the President.
 One of the last official acts of Presi- dent Roosevelt before leaving was to
 prepare proclamation making to- morrow a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories and
 calling upon the governors of the
 various states to urge s general ob-
 servance of Lincolns birthday anniv-
 ersary.
 Congress has not yet passed the bill providing for such an observance in
 conformity with the Presidents recent
 message. The Senate amended \ the
 House bill and the House later refused
 to accept the modification. Repre- sentative Kustermann of Wisconsin in- formed the President to-day that he had conferred with Senate leaders and they had notified him that they would recall the Lincoln bill from the House and pass it in the original form. The President will be en route to Ken lucky when this is done but the pro- clamation has been prepared for issu- lance as soon as Congress takes the proper action.

 ELECTRIC
 MONOPOLY Holzer Offers Bill Amend ing Section 3916.  Which Relates to
 Manufacture and Sale
 Of Electric Light
Passage Will Permit Elec- tric Light Company to En- join Those Who Would Furnish Electricity to Ad- joining Premises.
(By Our Special Staff Corre

(By our special Staff COrreS.) Hartford. Feb. 11.-Among the bills introduced into the Senate. to-day, was bill offered by Senator Holzer, which amends section 3916. Chap. 219, Gen. eraI Statutes. as follows:
 Any person. or corporation, violat- ing the provision of this section may be enjoined from violating the same by the superior court upon a com plaint. as in civil action. by any cor porat1On or person affected by such such injunction upon such complaint as in ether actions"
 Section 3916 relates to the manufac- ture of electricity and it's sa1e and provides that no person in this state, in anyecity under 15. 900 persons, shall manufacture electricity for sale, for power or light. An exception is made, that persons may manufacture for their own use. and for sale to tenants on the same premises. but not to sell to tenants on other premises.
 It is said here that this bill is de- sired by the Electric Lighting company in Bridgeport. which is confronted with the fact that number of lighting plants have been established in large buildings in the business center of the city. Some of these plants. it is said, are to be used to light adjoining build crossing a public street with wires. It will enable the electric light companies to secure injunctions, even where no street is crossed, against any person proposing to light premises not owned by himself.

 re-enacted into the charter.

 tion for the Union Metallic Cartridge Co. of Bridgeport asking for authority to increase capital stock to $5,000, ,00O and to increase the price per share from s25 to s100, with the intent to hur- ry the matter along.

 Another measure introduced by MT. Clark, by request of the Board of Health of Bridgeport, provides that the board shall be authorized to make such rules, regulations and orders as may be necessary, but not inconsistent with the constitution of the State or of the United States, or the charter and or dinances of the city of Bridgeport, giv- ing the board power to impose penal ties for violations not higher than s100 for a single Offense.

Special Senate Committee
 Now Ready to Report Up- on Part of Annual Mes- sage Criticizing Congress.
His Structures Regarding Secret Service is Un- founded Says the Commit tee-Asks Power to Con- tinue Investigation.
tinue Investigation.
Especial from United Press.

Washington, Feb. Il. President Roosey cit is to be rebuked by the Sen- ate committee on appropriations for his assertions that restrictions placed by Congress upon the indiscriminate use of secret service men "have been a benefit only to the criminal classes The ub-committee of the appropria- tions committee has been Investigating the subject for some weeks and is now ready to report. Among other things 1t will say:
 "If the amendment to the Sundry Civil Bill has operated as 8 restriction upon the use of secret service" em- ployes, such restriction is so technical and limited in character that it does not appear sufficient to warrant the impugning of motives of Congress in adopting the amendment. No Congress in the history of the government has so literally supported the executive branch of the government by appro- priations to the aid in the execution of the law as has the Sixtieth Con gress.''
 After quoting from the testimony given by Attorney General Bonaparte, Secretary of the Interior Garfield and Chief Willxie, of the secret service to show t@at these officials were of the opinion that the amendment to the Sundry Civil Bill referred to in the Presidext's recent message had in no wise hampered the work of their de- partments, the report goes on to say:
 ''It has never been the intention of any Con gress to build up a spy system. There lave come to the attention of the committee alleged cases of misuse and improper ocial conduct of secret service employees, but the committee has not had time nor opportunity to verify these as well as many other re- prots conveying alleged information re- lating tc the subjects contemplated by the resolution"
 The committee, which is composed of both Republicans and Democrats, rec ommends that the investigation be con- tinued aster the present session ends so as to enable it to secure complete de- tails of she character of services per- formed, not only by secret service men but by all special agents, inspectors and others employed in the various ex- ecutive departments, for the detection and prosecution of violations of the law. It is expected that the investi- gation if continued, will last a year.
