Constantinople April 2S.-The for
mer ruler of the empire. \ Abdul Hamid
H.. is to be kept a prisoner in a large
house with walled grounds on a height
overlooking Salonica, which has lately
been occupied by the Italian command
er of the international gendarmerie
He is not to be put on trial as has
been widely reported in Constantinople.
for he is considered to be above the
law.
His Life Will Be Safeguarded.
1t was thought wise to keep the de-
posed ruler in European Turkey, re-
mote from the capital. His household
VIII be administered for him upon
generous scale and his life will be
safesuarded as he earnestly besought
when notified Of his dethronement.
Departure from the Palace.
Abdul Hamid, with four wives. five
daughters and two of his younger sons,
two eunuchs and comparatively large
number IF female servants. was taken
from the Yildiz palace last night and
started under an escort to Salonica.
The party proceeded by steam launch
es to the landing near the railway and
a a/speclal train, on which they We're
placed, left at three O'clock in the
morning.
Abdul Hands Wealth Enormous.
The constitutionallsts would like to
get back part of the great sums of
money that the former sultan is sup
posed to have abroad not only because
tie government is in need of the mon
ey. but because it is desirable that he
should be deprived OF the resources
for another coup d'etat
Speculation places Abdul Hamid's
wealth at anything between S25,000 900
and $500 1000, 900.
United States First to Offer Con-
gratulations.
1t was mentioned with pleasure to-
day at the palace of Mehmed V. that
the American ambassador was the first

municate his good wishes to the new
ly proclaimed sultan Tue sultan sent

Leishman expressing pleasure that the
representative of the United States
was the first to congratulate him.

the mutiny of the troops We're con-
demned to death. Later they We're

Ter. The speaker thought the ayes
were in the majority.
Mr.. Ogden of Wilton doubted it. A
rising vote was taken.
The vote was: Aye 152, nay 30. The
previous question prevailed.
The motion to recommit to the judi
ciary committee was lost on an aye
and nay vote.
Mr.. Higgins Favors Commission.
Mr.. Higgins of Winchester believed
the people of Connecticut demand some
such a commission and he is in favor
of such, but is opposed to a bill which
would appoint a commission along the
same lines of the railroad commission
OF Connecticut
In Favor of Recommitment.
Mr.. Bingham of Naugatuck said he
did not believe the people understood
the bill. He personally was in favor Of
recommitment. The democratic party
never pledged itself in support of the
proposed bill. o
Mr.. Brinsmade Of Washington was
also in favor Of the motion to recon-
nit because it would broaden the
ground for discussion.
No Present Need for Bill.
Mr.. Bartlett of Bridgeport said that
as a member of the judiciary COM
mittee he voted against the proposed
bill because he did not think there is
a present need for it.
Case of Politics to Get Votes.
Mr.. Dunn Of Windham said the
measure was presented by a republi-
can and endorsed by the republican
party as a whole. 1t is a case of poll
tics to get votes, but some bill of this
sort ought to be passed.
D.n D.
Mr.. Bishop of New Haven said that
during the last campaign he stumped
his town on this issue. and he believed
the people Of New Haven are in favor
of the proposed bill. 1t was his opin-
ion that some way should be devised
to refer the measure to some commit
tee. special if necessary, to redraft it
and bring in a satisfactory substitute.
This bin ought not be buried.
Could Not Possibly Support the Bill Sc
It Stands.
Mr.. Wilton OF New London said
that as the bill stands he could not
possibly support it. He did not be-
leve. however. that two or three paid
organizers of labor unions, the eNecG-
tive officers of the state grange and
the delegates OF certain business mems
associations are representative of put =
lie sentiment; the members of the gen
eral assembly are IN his opinion the
real Representatives Cf the people. Mr..
Wilton said he most certainly favors
a public utilities oill of some sort, and
ne believed the general assembly can
frame a satisfactory measure if it
really goes at it. He thought il a mis-
take to finally reject the matter oa the
committees report. He made a mo-
ton to the effect that the matter be
considered in committee of the whole
next Wednesday.
Speaker Banks informed NJ. Wilton
that the motion was out of order and
could not be entertained.
Mr.. Pease of Enfield declared that
Connecticut has thes smallest excuse
for adopting such a tbill Of any state
ir the country.
Again Today.
The matter will be taken up again
the first thing Thursday morning.

FOR THE DOING AWAY WITH
REAR ENTRANCES TO SALOONS
Sharp Discussion Before the Excise
Committee at Hartford Hearing.

Sharp Discussion Before the Excise
Committee at Hartford Hearing.
Hartford, April 2S.-Sharp discussion
developed before the committee on ex-
else at the capitol this afternoon when
the bill providing for the doing away
with rear entrances to saloons which
may be used by customers was taken
up for hearing Those who favored the
measure urged that it would have the
effect of removing temptation from the
young men and young women by TAX
ing away from them the chance to go
into a saloon unobserVed to secure IL
quors. Ii was also urged that it would
do a good deal toward abolishing Illicit
selling of intoXicants. BY the opposi-
tion the bill was denominated a per-
secution bill and one which would
make a law abiding dealer liable to
penalty should anyone without his
knowledge enter through a rear door
into the saloon.
Another bill providing that no IL
censed person or corporation shall sell
liquors outside of the town in which
they are licensed, also provoked dis
cussion.
When the bill providing for a reduc-
tion OF license fees in towns of over
1000 inhabitants from $3.50 to $500,
Representative Schumacher of Anso-
mia, who had introduced the bill ap-
peared. and said that since putting the
bill in there has arisen some doubt as
to its advisahility, and he simply want
ed to say that if the committee saw
fit to bring in an adverse report on it
he would not attempt to hold UP the
report in the house.
