CHANDLER LOUD
 IN PRAISE OF
 JUDGE BALDWIN

Judge Baldwin is an honorable man and able and learned judge, was the worst that George B. Chand- Ter of Rocky. Hill could say about the Democratic candidate for gover- nor in his noon day speech at the plant of the Locomobile Go, of Amer ment of the Democratic candidate was accepted by the workingmen gathered about as one of the best arguments that could be advanced in favor of the former chief justice of Conn ecticut.
 MT. Chandler spent most of his time talking on the fellow servant law and the workingman's compensa ton act and when he had finished he said that both the Democratic and Republican parties were advocating the workingman's compensation act, but that he wanted to tell them that Cousin Charlie Goodwin was a good fellow and would see that the work 1ngmen of the state got all that was coming to them. He told how Good win was the man who had been sec retary to the late George L. Lilley and them out of the corporation-ridden wilderness.
 There are over 1,2Op men employ ed at the factory and the Republican workers who accompanied MT. Chand- Ter estimated that 400 listened to the speaker.
 There were several card games go ing on in the nearby garages while the speechmaking was going on, and the workingmen continued to play the game without paying any attention to the spell bindher. In no part of his speech, which is the same that The made at the Singer plant yesterday, does MT. Chandler say anything about any other candidate than Goodwin He does not try to excuse the Repub- lican party for putting a State tax upon the people or he does not tell why the Republican party failed to pass the public utilities bill at it's last session, nor did he tell of the scan dalous last days of the last General Assembly.
 He accused Judge Baldwin of talk ing up State rights too much and took issue with the judge because he had written that opinion relative to the Federal Employers liability act in which the court found that the cen- tral government had no right to over- ride the constitutional rights of the State.
 He failed to tell his hearers that Judge Baldwin favored an Employers Liability act that will be effective in the State of Connecticut and that the Republican party which has been in control of the State for 16 years had failed to provide such a measure.
 He closed by saying that Charlie Goodwin and his cousin. Walter, of Hartford, were friends of the men in overaHs even though they were rich men
 The crowd was an orderly one and the only sign of applause was hand clapping from about score of the listeners at the close of the speech

HUGHES WILL PR0BATED
(Continued from first page)

(COntnued from first page) said he had known Matthew Hughes for about two years.
 The elder MT. Heating told the court that he had known the testator from 15 to 20 years and had drawn will for him prior to the sone. that. was. time that MT. Hughes was being sued by his wife for non-support last Spring MT. Hughes came to him and said he wanted to make an entire new while the litigation was in progress
 When the time came for the making of the will, MT. Heating said, he had cautioned Matthew that his relatives had more claim upon him than any one else. He said the testator re- piled, tIf my brother James was liv- provision for him. But he is dead and his children are grown up and do not need any help. My brother, John, is well to do and as for the others I am under no obligation to them-"
 MT. Keating said that when MT. Hughes had come to him to have the will drawn he had brought memor- andunn, with him which bore the names of legatees with the amount written opposite each name that he desired to bequeath to the legatees- The sums mentioned in the will were the same as on the memorandum except for a few slight changes.
 In response to questions by Attorney Chamberlain, MT. Heating said that he
  dum he did not recognize the writing and he did not ask who had written it. The memorandum had been de- stroyed after the will was drafted and at no time did MT. Hughes tell him who had written the memorandum
 When asked if Matthew Hughes had ever estimated the amount of money he had left to the church, MT. keatIng said he had mentioned what his real estate was listed at on the books of the assessors. and had apparently summed up the amount that the par ish as residuary 1egateee would re- ceive.
 MT. Heating testified that the testa- tor after signing the will had taken wanted to look it over. He brought it back after week and said it was all right. MT. Keating said he had never looked at the document again funeral of the deceased.
 MT Chamberlain wanted to know if MT. Heating had noticed any change in the condition of MT Hughes. He replied that there had been a gradual change in his physical appearance. that he was growing old and appeared more feeble.
 Asked if he noticed that the testa- tor was very hard of hearing, MT. Heating said he had sat very close to him while doing business for him and that he had not been obliged to use more than normal tone of voice to be readily understood.
 MT. OHara cross examined MT. Heating without bringing out any new facts.
 The heirs have 30 days in which to bring their appeal before the Superior court.
 Attorney Judson asked the court if John Hughes, one of the executors of the will, who is one of the contesting heirs, was going to be allowed to qual- ify executor in as much as he was opposed to the will. Judge NobI)s said that there was no reason why he could not qualify an eXecutOr as the court knew of no opposition to the will
 MT. Judson said that he did not be- Teve John Hughes should qualify if he was going to be an opponent of the

shall be plastered, except where the first floor of the cellar is constructed of iron beams and fire proof filing To show the building board it nas power to remedy the conditions exist ing at the Spetrino place the chief has also called the attention of the officials of the department to Sec tions 26 and 27 of the tenement house laws as follows: "NO building hereafter constructed as, or altered into a tenement house, shall be oc- cupied, in whole or in part, for hu- man habitation until the issuance of a certificate by the officer aforesaid (building inspectors) that such build ing conforms in all respects to the requirements of this act. Such certi- ficate shall be issued within ten days after written application thereof, If said building, at the date of such ap- plicatiOn, shall beS entitled thereto. Tiff any building hereafter con- structed as, or altered into, a tene- ment house be occupied in whole or in part for human habitation in vio- lation of, the last section, during such unlawful occupation no rent shall De recoverable by the owner or lessee of such premises for said period, and no action or special proceedings shall be maintained therefor"
 The chief said this morning that he had turned the Spetrino matter over to the building commission as the state law showed it was in it's power to enforce the law. He said that people came to him with all buildings and that the power of en- forcing the law is not always vested in him.
 This case he found was in the province of the building commission.
 Furthermore the chief says that H> 1<.~x not being strictly enforced anywhere about the city.
 Asked if he thought the new build- ing code was going to help matters the chief replied, eff this state tene- ment house law and other building laws already on the books were en- forced conditions would be much of new laws don't mean anything un- less they are enforced"
 The property owners in Mulloy's Lane or Columbus Place as it is more properly known are somewhat indig- Hant over the position in which Spetrino has located his tenement block. The lane is too narrow to be accepted by the city but sometime ago the property owners on the street got together and agreed to lay curb and gutter on each side of the mar row way The walks have been laid.
 Now Spetrino has built his book out into almost the middle of the lane, and about seven feet further out than the rest of the buildings fronting in it. The sidewalk ends di rectly up against the back of the block and then one must walk around the edge of the building to get into Main street. If the owner of the property on the opposite side of the alley takes the same privi- leges as Spetrino has taken Mulloy's lane on the Main street end will be- come about feet wide.

Chief Mooney of the fire depart nent has reported to the building commission what he believes is a violation of the tenement house laws Of the state. It is relative to the big three story frame block that Frank Spetrino has erected at Null lcy's Lane and Main street.
 Section 14 of the law states, "No separate tenement house shall here after be erected upon the rear of a lot where there is tenement house on the front of the said lot nor up- on the front of any such lot upon the rear of which there is such . tenement house, unless the distance between the two tenement houss is at least thirty feet"
 There is 8 tenement house on the rear of the Spetrino lot at Mulloy' s Lane. It formerly stood facing Main between it and the newly erected block there is hardly one-thirtieth of an inch between the rear porch of the big block and the house at the rear of the block.
 Any of the residents of the big block can lean over the railing of the rear porch and looking down rhe
  1t is about one foot from the wood work and would make a convenient place to dump ashes.
 The windows of the house on the rear of the lot press close up against the rear stairway of the larger nouse cn the front of the lot
 Several builders who have looked at the conditions at Spetrino property wonder how the structures could have been placed in the position it is in without attracting the attention of the building departments inspectors.
 In addition to the two buildings hugging each other in violation of the law Chief Mooney calls the at tention of the building commission to other conditions at the Spetrino building which are not in conformity with the state tenement house laws.
 He claims that there is a violation of section 19 which provides that every vent shaft in a tenement house shall be constructed of fire proof material. The section further pro- vides that; "not more than two wa- terclosets or bathrooms shall open 9. shaft on one floor of tenement house, and no two water closets CT bathroom windows opening upon such shaft on one floor of tenement house, and no two water closet pr bathroom windows opening upon such shaft on the same floor shaA De opposite each other"
 The chief also calls the attention of the board to violations of Sectscn 20, which reads: "In every tenement of three or more rooms, in tene- ment house hereafter erected, access to every living room and bedroom and to at least one watercloset com partment shall be had without pass ing through any bedroom"
 Also Section 22 as follows: "The floor of the cellar or the lowest floor of every tenement house shall be water tight, and the cellar ceiling

j s5s mirth MT. Dodson plays the part of a proud old English baronet, who hates any man not so well born as himself. Intermarriage between the, son and daughter of his own family with those of his neighbor is resent ed by the old aristocrat, because the children of his near neighbor lack caste as they belong to the new rich class. The play deals largely with the love affairs of the young people and centres interest in the people in the house next, door, which affords the aristocratic parent opportunity upon opportunity to vent his rage, anger and detestation of thems in many we'll planned insults. The man ner of these insults is one phase of humor in the comedy. The play is said to be smartly acted by a com petent company and contains many bright lines. MT. Dodson will be wei oomed forQ himself alone, for he gives an exposition of fine acting too rare ly seen nowadays. The sale of seats opens tomorrow morning.
