LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES
 ANNOUNCED
Continued From First Page.)


 It will be observed that nona of the Bridgeport's three senators received appointment to the committee of cities and boroughs, committee that has not been without a Bridgeport repre- sentative in several sessions. It is be- fore this committee that the charter tinkerers must go with their patch work amendments and the fact that there is no local representative on the committee to act as steerer will be sad news to some.
 Although Senator Manwaring is placed on three committees none of them is very important. He would have made an able representative on the committee on cities and boroughs, but the chances are that he would not prove as pliable as some of the powers would like.
 Senator Arnold wanted an appoint- ment on the Labor committee but his wishes were not taken into consdera- tion in the make up of that committee. the best. He preferred Banks because he is a banker and he evidently got what he preferred.
 Fayette C.. Clark would like to have been named for the committee on cities and boroughs where Mayor Lee sought Speaker Banks to place him but the speaker had notions of his own and the wish of the mayor did not avail.
 As chairman of the committee on Manufactures MT. Clark will not be kept very busy as very little business is sent to that committee.

(Special from United Press)
 Hartford, Jan. 14.-The Farmers in +he nresent House and Senate of the Legislature are meeting here this af- ternoon organizing the Farmers As sociation of 1909, the biennial organ ization of small town members which goes far toward actually running the House. The Association has to be formed anew every two years but there is a permanent organization of it's alumni. This body has decided to rec on7mend to the Association this year that it's membership be restricted en- tirely to such members as are listed as farmers.
 The feeling is that this will be done though in 1907 desire to have ma jority of House in the association leo to the letting down of the bars from the original restriction, albeit not so much as was done in 1905. Or the S zo5 members of the House SS are llsteo farmers-74 Republicans and IA Dem ocrats. There are four farmers in the Senate. None of those most promln, ent in the last session of the Farmers Association is back this year.

SEAVIEW AVENUE
 HERMIT TO BE
 GIVEN SCRUBBING
Augustine Noll's Residence the Cause of Complaint to the Board of Health.

The board of Health has been asked to remedy conditions which exist at the home of Augustine F. Noll, 35 years old. of 254 Seaview avenue. The com plaint was made by residents of the vicinity who assert that Noll should be taken in charge by the authorities. Sanitary Inspector Lynch made an in vestiga ton of the conditions at NOlP s place yesterday and fails to find words to describe them. Noll lives alone and dispenses with the accepted methods of housekeeping. He considers sweeping a waste of time and scrubbing a use less expenditure of labor. Water he abhors in every way. As a consequence of his neglect the house is filthy and NolPs person needs bathing.
 Several years ago Noll inherited con- siderable property from his father, Gregory Noll. who died in the house where his son now lives. The mother has been dead for many years. The estate is in the hands of, William Griesinger as trustee and nets Noli life use of the property on Seaview avenue. It is charged by those who have examined into the existing condi- tions that NolI spends his money for liquor instead of food and that his mental condition is such that he is not fit to take care of himself.
 It is proposed to send him to some institution where he can be sobered up and relieved of the accumulations of several years. and also treated for his mental ailments. During his ab- sence the house will be cleaned up so that the fear that it will become a source of pestilence will not bother the neighbors. When his condition war rants he will be allowed to return to his home. The proceedings will be brought by the board of Health which body is now deliberating as to the best methods of reaching the desired result.

PULLMAN STARTS
 AN ANANIAS CLUB
And Proposes Two Mem bers of Presidents Cab inet as Eligible for Mem bership in It.
Special from United Press.)


 Washington, Jan. 14.-Senator Till man announced before the session of the session of the Senate opened to- ] day that he intended putting two members of the cabinet into the An anias Club. The two, he said. were Postmaster General Meyer and Attor- ney General Bonaparte. With regard to the first, he said, he would produce the s1ie direct" AS for the Attorney general he quoted "Touchstone's" def milton from Shakespeare's "As You Like It.' and said he would unearth the sort of "liar' he would prove Bona parte.
 AS soon as the Senate convened Till 1 man took the floor. He began by call ing attention to Attorney General Bonaparte's statement in which he took issue with MT. Tillman's speech of defense. "The statement" MT. Till man said, shows that the attorney general went out of his way to bol- ster up and fortify the presidents at- tack on me-"
 NIT. Tillman said he never thought of roads. 'The attorney general contra diets by indirection and inference and not by open denial," Tillman said. He declared it was 8 question of memory between himself and the attorney gen. eral. T will put my word against that of MT. Bonaparte," he continued, 'Tn any court in Christendom and am not apprehensive of the result"
 He then read the letter from the at torney general received this morning in which he admitted that suit had not yet been brought against the Southern Oregon Company. The implication con- veyed by MT. Bonaparte in his original statement was that he had complied with a resolution, said MT. Tillman. Mir TilIrnan said in dealing with TheO- dore Roosevelt he must encounter the enmity of all the Presidents under lings. "I am prepared for the assas- sins knife' said he, when dealing with interruptions people,"
 He charged that papers and docu- ments had been stolen from his desk.
 Continuing MT. Tillman said that up to this time nothing had been done to obey the law of Congress that suit be instituted against the Oregon Go. He said it was easy to delay when millionaires were defendants. 'The cold fact remains that the attorney general got offended, denied my state ment as far as he dared. create the im- pression that he had obeyed the law and to that extent
 'I do not like to use the adjective" he said, "and will leave you to fill 1t in'' He then waded into the post master general.
 MT. Tillman declared that he had let ters from Dorr showing that fraud order had been issued against him last February. Therefore, he argued, the subsequent investigation twas direct ed not at DOrr, but at Ben Tillman." He declared he was not able to locate to a certainty the degree of member ship in the Ananias Club to which Bonaparte and Meyer were entitled. 'It is getting time for either convic-

creamery situation an cooperating de-
vices. Really, the only ones pleased
were the separator manufacturers, the
agents and the good patron using
them. Of course, the hand separator
has come to stay; it's good qualities
to the farmer using it are so valuable
that everything else has to adjust
itself as the situation demands. The
hand separator has done much for re-
search to study and overcome almost
every obstacle in the manufacture of
a good quality of butter. I honestly
believe that the time is near when
the hand separator will be looked up
on by buttermakers and butter buyers
as a most valuable machine with
which to obtain both quantity and
quality.
From a scientific point of view, all
things considered, it stands to reason
that a better average quality of butter
all the year round could be made from
hand separator cream than from
whole milk. Talk about your milk,
sometimes two or three days old;
tax about your June milk and perfect
flavor where the many thousands of
pounds are hauled forth and back in
the hot sun, lining up at the creamery
awaiting their turn, uncovering the
cans in expectancy of unloading in
short order, giving the rays of the
sun a chance to almost penetrate
through the cans, causing metallic
and fishy flavor, receiving some milk
almost at the point of coagulation and
still good butter is made therefrom.
