DONOVAN PASSES N0RWALK
BRIDGE BILL over HEAD

tees which would be fraught with
danger to the public interests
Il should approve the bill were Sec
ton ten eliminated in which is made
this gift of $4,000.
1T was not recommended by any
committee of the general assembly but
was tackled on when the measure was
on it's passage. 1t does not seem to
me that strong objections to 1t as a
favor to one town at the expense Of
the whole people of the state, and as
creatingSa precedent for future favor
itism Of a like kind have been suffi-
GENTLY considered.
SIMEON E. BALDWIN, Governor"
The Senate. tabled the veto for print
ing.
Upon the reading of the veto in
the Senate, the Senate receded from
it's former action in passing the bill.
Upon motion of Senator Donovan the
veto was then laid upon the table.
Subsequently Senator DONOVAN moved
that the bill be passed, the govern
or's veto to the contrary notWith-
standing.
Senator Donovan said he had the
highest regard for his excelleneys
judgment, but in matters of this kind
he did not deem his views infallible. He
analysed the reasons given by the
governor for disappearing the bill,
and combatted them section by sec
ton. He showed that the state had
been contributory to the building
of bridges to the extent of over $780,
600, not one dollar of which had ever
come to Fairfield county, but had
been expended In other parts of the
state.
He said: "Give us half the feeG
that the state receives from the street
railway companies for which we are
compelled to build and maintain pow
erful bridges and we will defray the
expense of this bridge ourselves"
This, he maintained. would be no more
than had been done for the city of
Hartford where state aid had been
voted for a bridge.
The address of Senator Donovan
was most telling and when the vote
was taken by yeas and meas, the bill
was passed in spite of the veto, % to
8. Then, upon molten of Senator
Donovan, it was Immediately trans
mitted to the House.

Clever Paris Heggars.

Begging is forbidden on the Paris
boulevards. But one day recently a
pale, poorly dressed man was seen
humbIy approaching various pedes-
TRANS. He was evidently not used to
begging, and as he told his pathetic
story without the requisite boldness
people passed him by unnoticed. A
man dressed in black stepped up to
him and showed him a card. He car
ried a thick stick and wore heavy
mustache and thick boots, which are
the outward and visible signs, with a
multicolored ribbon in the buttenhole,
of detective In plain clothes.
'Now, then. get out Of this or I'll
run you in he said roughly. Then
In lower tone, "Poor ehap! and fur
lively he gave the man some silver.
People had seen him do it, and,
cheering the kind hearted policeman,
they, too, gave to the peor beggar. A
few minutes afterward IN a side street
the two men divided the spells and
moved off separately to ply their trade
elsewhere. The detective wasn't a
detective at all, but a beggar made
up for the part.

Especial from United Press.)
Hartford, August. 29-Vetoing the
$4,000 appropriation for a Washington
street bridge in Norwalk, Gov. Bald
win today said it was a favor to one
town at the expense of the whole state
and created a bad precedent.
The text of the veto follows:
1.-THE state by this act makes two
large gifts to the town of Norwalk
THE first is the conveyance of it's
titles to certain lands, mostly tide
water flats. Under our laws the state
is the legal owner of all tidewater
flats which have not been reclaimed
and filled in with it's consent, express
ed or implied. In many of our states
large sums have been realized by the
state through the sale or lease Of such
rights and titles. Connecticut has not
pursued this policy. If the general
assembly sees fit to give the title
Of the state to these flats in Norwalk
to that town to make the approaches
to a drawbridge there more attractive
to travelling public.
"But the second of the gifts made
in this bill stands upon different
grounds 1t is a cash present Of $780,
600
There is no more reason for our
making such a gift to Norwalk than
to any other town where a new bridge
is needed. The immemorial policy of
the Commonwealth has been to make
1T the duty of every town to construct
and maintain all necessary bridges
within it's limits. Under laws express
sive of this policy the existing Wash
ington bridge in Norwalk was built.
If the town thinks fit to replace by
another this should, in my judgment
be done at it's own expense.
"A gift to one town for such pur-
pose sets a precedent for asking sim
liar gifts for other towns. In New
Haven, for instance, there are four
draw bridges wholly within the limits
of the town; each on a highway and
largely used for interstate travel;
each traversed by a trolley railway
and each spanning navigable river.
New Haven has claim to 100000 if
Norwalk has claim to $4,000.
SIT is obvious that such gifts, if the
practice be once started, would fur
nish opportunities for log rolling prac-

Beatiie Will
Take Stand To
Avoid Chair
His Counsel Anxious that
He Will Break Down Ev-
idence Of His Cousin
(special from United Press

Chesterfield Court House. Va, Aug,
29-After two hours of vain battling
to break down the damaging evidence
of Paul ~Beattie, counsel for Henry
Clay Beattie, Jr., today announced
that his client would take the stand
to make a personal fight to escape the
electric chair. When the resourceful
attorney Henry NJ. Smith, chief coun-
sci for the defense, sank back into his
chair, after pounding at the slight
nervous youthful cousin of the accus-
ed man, the damaging story related
by Paul Beattie yesterday stood pracc
tically unchanged.
Following yesterdays dramatic ses-
sion of the trial, the mueh-harrassed
lawyers for the defense took up seri-
ously the question of pleading insan-
ity for their client. Weeks ago alien
lists were engaged by the defense with
this in mind But Beattie, his father
and his brother bitterly opposed such
plea.
No more pathetic notes have been
sounded in the tragedy of fiction than
those developed in the testimony of
two mothers who told their painful
stories to the jury which holds the
fate of Henry G. Reattie.
The first was that of sorrowing
mother of Mrs. eBattie, her life wreck
ed by the horror of the murder of the
girl whom she sobbed was "our
angel" The second was the cold bar
rem story of the mother of Beulah
Binford, whom the prosecution claims
was the chief motive for the crime.
She whispered the painful story of a
daughter fascinated by the attentions
of the rich Henry G. Beattie Jr., and
drawn into the vortex of the easiest
way" Mrs. r. v. Owens story was
impressive with it's weight of mater
nal sorrows. Mrs. Binford's was a SOL

Indian who knew English. What fl
