CAPITOL CHATTER
LittIe sidelights On Legislators and LEGISLATION


The COMMITTEES on interpretations
filed a Favorable report Thursday on
the resolution Incorporating the (. M
G. "A. of Willimantic.
A resolution proposing an amendment
to the constitution concerning special
legislation was passed by the house
Thursday. The resolution provides,
among other things, for the taking
from the legislature of the right to
exempt property and grant divorces.
1t was prepared, it is understood, In
the office of Governor Baldwin. 1t IS
claimed for it that it will shorten SEES
sions of the general assembly by elm
mating much effort to secure special
legislation. Before becoming effective
the resolution must pass not only both
houses of the present general assem-
bly, but also both houses of the next
assembly by a two-thirds vote. and
| then be submitted to the people for
approval.
An amendment introduced by Rep
resentative Craney of Norwich was
affixed to the resolution amending the
charter of the Connecticut company
when that matter was reached on the
calendar of the house Thursday. The
nature of the amendment is to grant
charter rights in Norwich for which
the company does not ask in the. bill
as filed but which many Norwich citi-
zens desire it should have that ex-
tensions of tracks may be made. In
addition to- the streets in Norwich
where charter rights are sought by the
company. including the Shetucket
street extension, Representative Graz
ney's amendment, which was adopted,
provides for charter rights from the
corner of Franklin street through Boz
well avenue to the corner of Boswell
avenue and North Main street; from
Sachem street through Asylum or such
other side streets as may be proper
and as said company may deem adyis
able, to West Main street. Because
of a desire of a Greenwich representa-
| tive to further amend the bill in the
section affecting that place it was
tabled The measure also carries q
grant of charter rights for Maple
wood cemetery extension in Norwich.
The house became frivolous Thurs
| day afternoon and proceeded to hec11le
| Representative Peck of Stratford, who
| was acting speaker. Members male
motions in punches and succeeded in
creating an amazing tangle. One CT
| these that caught the ear was that the
speaker roll up his sleeves and get
down to business In the midst of
| the mixup. which was being hugely
enjoyed. Mr.. Dunn moved the passaee
/ of the bill carrying appropriations for
| the establishment of homes in New
London and Middlesex counties for
tuberculosis patients. The vote showed
| the measure passed, but also disclosed
1 the absence of a quorum, automatieal.-
/ ly adjourning the house, so the meas
/ ure must again be passed and will
come UP the first thing next Tuesday
morning.

an important role. 1t has been seen
here before, but II is worthy of repeti-
ton. The scene Is laid in Texas and
the setting is typical of the great
southwest. Mr.. Middleton plays a

story reveals, has gone to his death

ranchman, sends bullet through his
heart. The playlet is splendidly acted
and Mr.. Middleton displays a good
voice in an incidental song number.
Another love story, sweetly told,
forms the basis Of the delightful Irish
playlet, Sweet Molly o." presented
by Allen Doone and Miss Edna Keel
er, who appear In costumes of Old
Erin IN a romantic setting, which
shows a trellis-bedecked cottage with

old Irish songs, with charming effect
and plays we'll on the bag-pires. But

In the musical line there are the

The play Is a political treatise, not
very complicated or subtle and not

both OF these themes In way that is
highly interesting.

Is, he Eliminates the role with hun

The story OF the play Is a simple
one. Senator Langdon goes to Wash

self taken up politically by Senator
Stevens, the senior member from Mis-
sissippi, and Senator Peabody, OF
