Hartford. June 1.-The committee on Judiciary in executive session last evening completed it's draft of fav- orabIe report upon the removal of the s5,Oo0 limit in actions for dam ages due to death. Inasmuch as the committee is unanimous and in view of the overwhelming sentiment in favor of the repeal of the present ob- noxious law, all indications point to its passing both houses without a dissenting vote.
 In the preparation of the new statute which will supersede the ex- isting one a new and important ele- ment for which damages may be claimed under it has been added. Under the law as 1t has been on the statute books of this state for gen erations the jury in determining the award of damages in cases of death has never been permitted to take in- to consideration the dependencies of the deceased. Under the new law not only is pain, anguish and suffer ing upon the part of the injured one preceding his dissolution from the in jury, allowed to enter into the ques-

 POPULAR VOTE
Sen. Paddock's Favorable Report on Election of U. $. Senators Is Passed.
tspeciale from United Press.)

fSpeclaI froTl Unfteo Press.) Hartford, June 1-The State Senate, today, passed resolution favorably reported by the Federal relations com mittee requesting the National Con- gress to propose an amendment to the Federal constitutions for the popular election of United States Senators. The House has not yet acted upon this measure.
 A majority and minority report came from the committee, the major ity report favoring the resolution. Senator Paddock of Bridgeport stated that he believed that the times were progressive and that the Senate of Connecticut should be just as progress sive as the Senates of other State Leg islatures. The situation was not poli- tical, said Senator Paddock. The Sem atorss knew that the time would soon come when the election of United States Senators by State Legislatures would be disapproved by every State in the Union.
 Senator Lounsbury of Seymour, was the only member of the committee to sign the minority report.

Hartford, June 1.-The finance committee has agreed to report fav- orably all the bonding measures ask ed for by the City of Bridgeport with a referendum clause attached to each.
 The referendum which will be re- ported will provide that upon the petition of 15 per cent. of the regis tered vote of the city any of the sev- eral bonding propositions shall go 10 a vote of the people for approval
 Senator McNeil had urged the 10 per cent. clause instead of 15 per cent. But John T. King and Albert B. Lavery, representing the dominant Republican organization in Bridgeport although preferring that the bill be passed without any referendum pro- vision. found the sentiment so strong that they finally agreed to 20 per cent clause. The Democratic Sena- tors, McNeiT and Paddock agreed to a compromise of 15 per cent. It is

FLAMING BAR BURNS , WAY THROUGH BODY
 OF PATRICK WYNN

Patrick Winn, aged B, employed with the Bridgeport Forge Co. suffer- ed a frightful injury at his work just before noon today when a bar of red hot iron fell upon him, and burned it's way clear through his body. He is in a, critical condition al St. Vincent s hospital.
 The deadly bar entered the mans abdomen and it had burned it's way out through his back when fellow. workmen. hearing his cries of agony extricated the metal. The sickening odor of burning flesh nauseated sev- eral who went to his rescue and sought to relieve his sufferings while he awaited the arrival of the ambu- lance corps summoned from the emer- gency hospital.

tion of the damage but the depend encles of such a one also become ele- ments of damage.
 This is considered to be quite a progressive step, as under the pro- posed new law if a man or woman IS killed and action brought to recover, the jury may, in awarding damages, consider as an element the fact that such deceased person leaves depend ants, children or other immediate relatives.
 Senator Judson said that he ex- poets that the new law will be ready for submission to the Senate on Tues day of next week.
 The committee has been urged to provide limitation of some sort but after thoroughly considering all of the evidence submitted at the various hearings, set it down as their judg- ment that it is better to set no limit of any amount, so that hereafter in cases of this character the plaintiff in such actions may sue for any amount whatsoever. It rests with the jury to award the damages, with the power still resting with the judge to set aside any award which may by him be deemed excessive or made quate. as the case may be.

with the difficult task of handlins both at the same time.
 While his attention was diverted the bar or iron, about 8 feet long and about an inch and one-half in dia- meter slipped from its position and dropped upon him. Trying to dod ge the flaming metal he lost his foot ing and as he fell the bar missing like a serpent and spreading a sickenins odor through the plant ate it's way through his body in less time than it takes to tell it.
 Snatching with his calloused hands he succeeded in tearing the bar away from his flesh and beat out the flames that caught his clothing Then he sank back weak and in agony to await the arrival of medical assistance.
 At St. Vincent's hospital late today 1t was said that he would live but that he would never fWly recover from the accident.

THE WORK WILL GO RIGHT ON

The settlers on the Fort He'll pro-
ject north of the city may rest as
sured that there will be no delay in
the prosecution and completion of
the government water system as soon
as weather conditions will permit.
The Tribune is definitely informed
by wire from Senator William E.
Borah that the $4,000 appropria-
ton for the completion of the system
was passed upon the last day of the
last session of congress and that the
bill provides that the money is i'm
mediately available for the purposes
intended.
We are also informed by officials
in charge of the work at Ross Fork
that the appropriation provides for
$500 to be used for repairs, and
that on this account there will be no
delay in the repair of bitches that
were washed out in the high waters
in January.
We are also definitely informed,
and know from personal interviews
with the men in charge of the work
that they intend to bend every effort
as soon as they are able to get into
the field to stay, to the end that wit
ter gets close enough to each man s
property before irrigating season to
enable him to water his crops the
coming season.
Barring the pranks of the elements
there should be no reason why most
of the folks on the west side of the
tract should not have water this year.

NORTHERN LEGISLATOR PUTS
ON HALO AT HOME

Representative Sanborn of Bonner
county went home, of course. There
was no other place for him to go,
and his legislative record had not
disclosed any further necessity for
his remaining in the capital. The
payroll likewise indicated that 1t was
not prudent for him to tarry. Shortly
after his arrival at Bonner's Ferry he
was greeted at meeting of the Com
mercial club in true provincial style.
Would he make few remarks? He
would. He talked about "extrava-
gance,' and he seemed dreadfully put
out that the Republican majority had
not seen it's way clear to do as he
and other Democratic members had
wished He declared that the legis-
lature was ruled by five men, but
he only named one of them, Repre-
sentative Peter G. Johnston of Bing-
ham county, of whom said:
But with Johnston of Bingham
county as chairman of state affairs
committee, man without any educa-
ton, whose principal occupation is
that of tending sheep, and whose
mind eventually wanders back to the
range, it doesn't seem to make any
difference whether it was matter
where thu state had paid bills once
or not; he wanted them paid again.
That gives fairly good idea Of
the logic of the rest of Representative
Sanborn's remarks at the meeting
held in honor of his Homecoming.
What courteous, chivalric and in
telligent fellow is Sanborn. And how
extremely diplomatic not to have
raised the point while the legislature
was in session.
Johnston, the sheep herder,
would have given Sanborn the i'm
preston that all tenders of fiocks
took degrees from Yale.
The tall timber would have been
totally inadequate to hide the form
of this boor from Bonner If John
ston had been given a chance at him
on the floor.
Sanborn was careful to hold his
peace until he got home; neither did
he display his halo down here

Mr.. Rich said: Il expect to be pre-

of the organization is to divert the

take up with the Oregon Snort Line

NAL of this advantage to travellers
