House Will Thresh
 Out Utilities Bill
It is Made the Order of the Day for Tomorrow-Egg Bill Recalled from Cover nor's Ofice-Other Legis- lative Business.

Hartford, Aug. 4.-After considera ble jockeying the public utilities question 10:45 tomorrow in the House. Dor mitzer of Woodbury then introduced the so-called Carmody bill drafted by the subcommittee of the select com mittee a substitute for both the measures as forecasted in these dis patches a few days ago.
 To the surprise of many the House this morning passed the Sunday bill in the form in which it came from the Senate. Chandler of Rocky Hill made a strenuous effort to have stricken out the section applying to anything neces- sary to the general welfare of the com munity. Chandler's amendment was lost.
 He then moved indefinite postpone ment and that was lost by a vote of 1O6 to 66. The House then passed the bill by a viva voce vote.
 Among other measures which passed are the following: a s4000 appropria tion for the Greenwich General Hos pital; an act making the public act passed this session relative to taxa tion to take effect September 1st; a $500 appropriation for deficiency eX- penses for the Litchfeld County Court of Common Pleas; a provision that complaints in regard to the sale of liquor to drunkards may be made to states attorneys; a provision that ap- peals from the county commissioners in regard to license transfers may be made to the superior court, and the bill providing for the state road be- tween the Eagleville Railroad station and the Connecticut Agricultural Col lege.
 committee of recall was raised in the Senate to recall from the Cover nor's office the bill concerning the sale of eggs. Governor Weeks had inform cd the friends of this measure that he couldn't sign this bill because in it's present form it did not class as cold storage plants those in which ice was used instead of chemicals, but he had assisted them by finding a bill which makes any egg which has remained 50 hours in a refrigerating plant. cold storage egg. The bill was brought hack and the Senate amendment was placed on it in the House.
 Senator Middleton had been made the Senate conferee on the Barbers' Com mission bill and this would indicate that the Senate proposes to stand by the commission. The committee on Engrossed Bills had reported back the automobile bill with changes in the wording so as to clear up the section regarding the taxation of engines list ed on Connecticut roads. No vital change was made in the bill which was again passed as amended.

Poppea of the Post Office.

Here is an entirely differ ent sort of story by our neighbor-Mrs. Mabel Os- good Wright of Fairfield. And a delightful story; as delightful as the nature books that made the 'ECom- Wife" so we'll known.
 Poppea is the daughter of the village postmaster and the story centers around her. There is much enjoyment in reading of Poppea, of the viii lage characters, of the city boarders.

JULY NOT HOTTER THAN USUAL, BUT
 VERY MUCH DRYER

The report of Voluntary Weather Observer Jennings, shows that the month of July produced no heat re- cords. Ii however, did make a record for precipitation. Only 2.50 inches of rain fell, which is about half of the general average in July records. The greatest rain fall was on the 23rd when 1.73 inches of rain fell.
 The hottest day came on the 30th when thermometer rose to 96 degrees, which is within one degree behind the hottest July day in 37 years. The mean temperature for July for the past 37 years was 71.7, while for this year it has been 71.5, which is but slightly be- low the average. The minimum tenn perature for the month on the 9th when the thermometer could not rise above 50 degrees, this mark is one de- gree higher than any during the past 37 years. Thunder storms have been very scarce so far this year, only two being recorded during the past month, one on the 18th, and the ether on the 30th. The summary for the month, shows that there were days in which there was .01 inches, or more precipi- tation 21 clear days, a remarkable re- cord, partially cloudy, and 1 cloudy. The prevailing direction of the wind was south west. The barometer showed it's highest mark on the Fist when the mercury reached 30.26, and the lowest on the 3rd, with 29.45.

 White Plains. N. Y, Aug. 4.-When Harry K. Thaw walked from the White Plains pail to the courthouse today he was surrounded by four de- putty sheriffs. quadruple guard which has accompanied him in the past week. Frequent comment on the case with which an escape could be eff fected have been made during the last three days. From the jail to the courthouse is but a step around the corner and Thaw has usually walked with his mother and sister followed at some distance by a sheriff.
 pr. Austin Flint, Jeromes alienist, took the stand for cross -examina 1ion by MorSchauSer when court was con- vened today. Morschauser went at him for his testimony in other cases for he had declared that paranoia was curable and had been cured while in this case he declared true paranoia' was incurable.
 On redirect examination by Jerome pr. Flint said that the paranoia which he believed was curable was of different kind than that from which Thaw suffered. Dr. Carlos F. Mo Donald for many years a member of the board of insanity was Jerome's third witness.
 Jerome continued reading a lengthy document describing Paranoia. The alienist said the description fitted liar ry Thaw like a glove. In answer to Jerome's questions Mcdonald gave instances of paranoiacs who conceal ed their delusions adding that Thaw 'is suffering from paranoia of the degenerate type"
 '.Is this disease curable?" asked Je- rome. 1T have heard of a case hav- ing been cured, Dr. Mcdonald said that Thaw's confinement in Mattea- wan would tend to keep in abeyance Thaw's homicidal tendencies and de- lusions which he believed would awake. He said Thaws appearance and conduct in court and on the wit ness stand indicated he had no ap- preciation of the seriousness of the ailment

Senate Administers Crushing Blow to
 Lighting Monopoly
Continued from First Page.)


 "A storm of newspaper publicity over whelmed the conspirators. with the re- suit that the Lighting company asked to have the objectionable bills with drawn. At the hearing before. the judiciary committee the Lighting Company made a very poor show ing."-
 Senator Latimer then explained the various stages of the fight to repeal the existing law and told of the part he took in endeavorfng to frame substitute bill, by which not only the rights of the Lighting Company would be safeguarded, but the business men and manufacturers of Bridgeport would get everything that they asked.
 His recital of the various attempts on the part of himself and the members of the Judiciary committee to frame a suitable substitute was both illumi- mating and humorous. He referred to the negotiations which were opened up after the matter had reached the judiciary committee, between the electric interests and the different in terests with which they were in con- flict.
 In closing he again referred to the poor management of the Bridgeport branch and said that, far as he was. able to ascertain. the United H. luminating Company had caused no such dissatisfaction to exist in other cities of the state where it did business.
 The amendment was then introduced and, after Senator Latimer had agreed to a change in one or two words at the instance of Senator Chase. the question was put to vote-
 Senator Manwaring, of Bridgeport, said that in behalf of the Bridgeport people he was glad to announce that the substitute bill was satisfactory to them. He also said that he hoped that Senator Latimer would not feel offended because he, Manwaring, had kept after him to get the matter reported.
 Senator Arnold of Bridgeport said that while he preferred straight re- peal of Sec. 1916 he was satisfied with the substitute in as much as it gives to the business men and manufa cturers of Bridgeport all that they had con- tended for The vote was then taken and the substitute bill was unanimous ly adopted. Upon motion of Senator Manwaring the rules were suspendeo and it was transmitted to the senate. It will almost certainly be passed by that body when it comes up for con sideration.
 Mir A. M. Cooper of the Rowland Dry Goods Company, who was present today, and who has been the leader in the fight against the electric mono poly expressed himself well Satis- fled with the result. There is little doubt but that the substitute bill will pass the house. when it is considered by that body.
 Attorney James A. Marr, counsel for s. H Wheeler and Attorney John $. Pullman, of counsel for the How1and Dry Goods Company were at the Capi- tol today Both have done excellent service in the interest of the sUbsti- tute bill.

No. 2 Crane are ahead of them by two games, but that team will be lucky to win three of the four yet to be played, while the Yosts ought to have no difficulty in taking all of the seven.
 Because of the action taken last night it is stated that besides the res ignation of MT. Lynch as manager of the Yost team few other directors of their nom-de-plume to a communica- tion asking for their resignations. This is not a myth, but is given on good authority.
 Manager Lynch of the Yost Indus trial league team has sent out noti- fications to all the members of the Yost team, who are now enjoying a two weeks vacation that there will be a meeting of the players at his home evening, to consider the action of the directors of the league. Manager Lynch and Captain Keenan talked matters over this morning and decided to remain in the league to the finish, intending to land on the top.

 The clubs that are benefited by the ruling are Crane No. 1, Crane No. 2, Warner Brothers and the BraSSieS, who will be handed two games, whose manager, by the way, said that he had been instructed by the members of his team that they did not wish to win any contests at electric light meetings that were not fairly won on the field.
