Hartford, Feb 16.-In the House
chamber at the capitol yesterday af-
ternoon q situation developed that is
unique in the legislative history of
civilized nations-the remarkable, not
to say astounding spectacle of the
president Of a large labor organiza-
ton in a great commonwealth arguing
against Workmen's conpensation-and
the representative of the great man
ufacturing interests in the same COM
monwealth arguing in favor Of it.
This amazing reversal Of all the ira
iitions of Capital and Labor was af-
forded by Charles J.. Donahue. presi-
dent OF the State Federation of La
bor. and J. ". Emory, attorney for
the Manufacturers association of Con-
necticut-
Union men from all over the state,
who have endorsed bill that doesn't
meet with President Donahue's ap-
proval, listened in amazed silence yes
terday afternoon while their highest Of
ficer argued against the enactment of
a Workmen's compensation bill.
The silence that they maintained was
for a purpose however. and will be
broken In no uncertain terms this af-
ternoon when the hearing is resumed
and the joint committee on Judiciary
and Labor, comes to the Workmen' s
compensation bill which a majority of
the big labor bodies Of the state have
endorsed
SO .extraordinary were the develop
ments when the hearing on Workmen' g
compensation and Employers Liabil-
fty went into session yesterday after
noon IN the House chamber at the
capitol, that Senator Stiles Judson,
chairman of the committee, pointedly
questioned Mr. Donahue, to make
sure that ne had not misunderstood
him

Rudolph Herring, the eminent sani-

mission evolved the plans for a three
million dollar system Of sewage for
the city. attended an important con-
ference at which Bridgeport's sewage
problem was discussed in Mayor
Buckingham's Office today.

John j. Phelan president Of the Board
Of Apportionment. and Andrew M.
Cooper both of whom are members Of
the sub committee which considers
the amount desired for expenditure
this year in caring for the sewage sys-
tenn.
The sub committee desired to know
whether it was feasible to carry out
Mr.. Hering's plans piece meal. con-
sstructing part Of the contemplated
huge system from year to year that
the entire cost might be spread over a
long term Of years and ultimately the
city would have the model system
proposed.
Mr.. Herring said that off hand he
could be expended TO advantage In
following out this idea. This was
considerably more than the sub-com-
mittee had planned to recommend for
expenditure. but the conference ended
without any definite decision on the
project.
Mr.. Herring was employed by a COM
mission created by Marcus L. Rey-
nolds to consider the future as well
as the present needs of Bridgeport.
Several thousands Of dollars were ex-
pended in the compiling of plans for
the system. The plans are now in
the possession Of the city. but nothing
has ever come Of the project, for the
city fathers hesitated about it be-

POPE'S THROAT
WORSE TODAY
Doctors Uneasy Lest Trou-

Lungs.
Especial from United Press. }

Rome, Feb. 16-The Pope's fever
showed a slight subsistence, today, but
the inflammation of his throat was
worse. DR.. Petacci, the Pope's per-
sonal physician, called DR.. Marchavia,
in for a consultation. They admitted
that the illness, diagnosed as influ-
enza, might be persistent.
The greatest uneasiness of the doc
tors arises from the Pope's advanced
age rs. Should the bronchial affec-
tion spread to the lungs, the chances
for the Pope's recovery would be con-
sidered slight.

WHARF RULES and HONOLULU.

Let no one doubt the Importance of
the regulations governing the use of
Honolulu wharves. These rules can
either make or break the port. They
can either attract business and pro-
mote Honolulu's interests as center
of transshipment, or damage the port,
drive business away and add to the
quantity of goods shipped direct"
The progress of the town demands
that medium of fair dealing shall be
reached, that shall assist the shippers
and at the same time prevent the
wharves from being used as ware
houses to save the expense of private
warehousing.
During the last ten or twelve years,
Honolulu has lost thousands of dol
lars of business through the develop
ment of direct shipment to other
ports. Whether this is the result OF
fault on our part or a natural trend
of business need not be argued.
The present day need is. that the
expense of landing cargoes shall be
kept at the lowest possible point and
the facility with which merchandise
and produce is handled should be
raised to the highest standard. II is
HonOlulu's welfare that Is at stake
not personal hobbies.

DR.. M'CORMACK'S LECTURE.

Honolulu has never been visited by
"a more interesting apostle of peace
and progress than Dr. Mccormack,
who is to make public address this
evening ON medical and sanitation
topics.
Better still, DR.. McCormack's visit
is exceedingly timely for this COM
munity that has to grapple with some
exceedingly difficult problems of san
itation and can only secure progress
through the cooperation of all inter-
ests for the welfare of the community
as a whole.
The initial talk given before the
members of the Medical Association
on Tuesday shows that DR.. McCor-
mack deals with plain facts in plain
way And then he shows a way out
of troublesome situations.
II is safe to presume he will speak
in the same manner to the people of
the town this evening. He does not
pretend to know all the difficulties.
but our city Is not so very much diff
ferent from hundred others that the
Doctor has visited and he brings to
Honolulu citizens the conclusions
gained by a keen observer through
years of experience and travel.
The b ulletin is certain that the
people of the city will find enjoyment
and profit from the public talk to be
given in the Opera House this even
ing. and 1t urges as many of its read
: ers to attend as possible.
