the judges of the state having Grim
inal jurisdiction attended the con-
ference.

Protest Against
 Proposed Change In Ballot Law
Claim Made that Australian Ballot Is to Be Dropped
 to Harass Minor Parties.

Protesting against the proposed change back to the old form of ballot the city central. executive committee of the Socialist party on Saturday night adopted resolutions calling for the retention of the Australian ballot until 1t has been given fair test.
 While the proposed change back to the old form of ballot does not affect the city of Bridgeport, nor any other city using voting machines, the So- cfalists are fighting in behalf of the smaller towns and cities where voting IS still done by ballot.
 The claim is made that the new Australian ballot has innumerable ad- vantages over the older .paster. form, and that the change back to the old form is being advocated to embarrass the minor political parties 1t is claimed that the old form called for heavy expenditures on the part of candidates, for pastors, and their dis tributfon; whereas, all this is done away with in the present Australian form and the candidates are moi obliged to stand these expenses.
 F'urthermore, the Australian haJIot the names of all candidates nominated, whereas, under the old 'egime, the minor parties experienced great difficulty in getting their bal ots to the public

 Sassonia and the girl say they went to New Haven on Thursday, spent the time until yesterday at a New Haven hotel, and passed the time in innocent diversions. Mrs. Sassonia pleaded with the police to discharge her husband, prfessing implicit faith in his story. Miss Cole stoutly supported his story that they were just friends, nothing more, and she declared she knew of no reason why Sassonia should be de- tained by the police.

 uproar, but it was only temporary.
 Asquith resuming his statement. said that unless the Lords passed the

 Balfour arose amid an equally voci- ferrous unter-demonstration He re- gretted, he said, that he had been un- able to hear what the premier had to say and declared that the whole history of the parliament.
 The uproar was renewed and rea- llzlng that it was hopeless to restore order, the speaker adjourned the House until tomorrow.
 Balfour declared that the veto bill was intended to prevent the electors from expressing their opinicn upon home rule. and denounced what he termed unconstitutional means used by the ministers to break the dead | lock in the House of Commons.
 Asquith complained bitterly be- cause the Conservatives had not per nitted him to explain the situation against the "ruffianism'' of the Con 'ervatives and declared if the Pre- n1er's arguments were not listened to 10 minister would attempt to takeI 1fs place.

Charged Lawyers To Be Heard In
 Secret Hereafter
Grievance Committee of Fairfield County Bar Changes from Policy of Public Hearings.

Bellev1ng that public hearings are unjust to lawyers on trial for unpro- Iesslonal conduct, the Grievance com m1ttee of the Fairfield County Bar has decided to hold secret sessions in the future. Henceforth lawyers who are
 ant fees or of taking more than their
 rlghtful share of the legal spois, will
 not have their shortcomings heraIded
 about the city
 This action is believed to have been
 the result of the Superior courts de-
 clslon Tn the case of Attorney Freder-
 1ck B. Fallon, who was found not
 guilty of unprofesional conduct after
 the Grievance committee had heard a number or charges against him. The GrleVance committee ordered him to appear before the Superior court and snow cause why he should not be dis barred and after a sensational trial, the court decided in Fallon's favor
 prominent member of the bar said th1s morning in speaking of the new policy: Lawyers believe it will be bet ter for all concerned Dissati tisfied cnents are apt to object to lawyers Tees almost any time, and appeal to the Grievance committed Although there may be no foundation for the chafges the mere fact that lawyer Is on trial before the Grievance com m1ttee is bound to injure his profes- slonal standing, and particularly so when the papers publish all the evil aence as they did in the Fallon case.
 Peopie who have no regular coun- SCI, when they do have occasion to | employ lawyer are apt to say of a | man who has been tried before the | Grievance committee, Well, I don't | .hlnk I'll go to him.
