 Hartford, March S0-In the House Joday Representative Elmore s. Banks. House leader, arose to a question of personal privilege, and answered the charge of a member of the Senate that he had made a racial attack. He said he had not made any such attack He had criticised a member of a certain race. but the criticism was wholly personal. He had at the same time attacked Judge Matthew con- but this was not construed as an attack on the Yankee race, and the other should not be construed as an attack on the Hebrew race.
 He would say. however, that a cer- taiu Hebrew whom he held in high regard had once said to him, "There are some Hebrews who when they ac- Cuire wealth or power so conduct themselves as to make the entire race offensive"
 Now" he said. s''I am reported as having made a false statement. I rad of 1t in the newspapers I wish the House to indulge me while I give the facts in the case

FIRE ESCAPE LAWS
 ARE INSUFFICIENT
A. H. Bullard Would Like to See Authority to Regulate Fire Escapes Centralized in One Official.

Hartford, March 30-The committee on public health and safety heard yes terday afternoon a bill, which aimed to make more stringent the Connec- ticut laws regarding the placing of metal fire escapes on the outside of hotels, factories and other public buildings, which house large groups of people either as guests or employees, also lodging houses. It further pro- vides for better means of egress from such places, for doors opening out ward and other similar measures and above all for better enforcement of the law.
 A. H. Bullard of Bridgeport, presi- dent of the Connecticut State Fire Prevention association spoke in favor of the committees carefully investiga- ting the matter. He wanted the law broadened so as to cover everything He said that he was hardly in a posi- tion at present to specify as to how many fire escapes should be required for the outside of buildings, for that would depend largely on the number of people employed in such buildings and on other like considerations. He pointed out that in many cases. even the one fire escape required by law was So erected that women or children would find it impossible to descend unaided. He also declared that he had little faith in ropes. MT. Bullard said that the present law requires that building inspectors, local fire marshalS Or chiefs of fire departments, fire war dens and other similar officials shall look after the matter of law enforce ment in this regard, but does not seem to make the matter compulsory. He should like to see the committee pre- sent a bill which would take the au- thority out of the hands of the half dozen or more, and put 1t definitely in the hands of one official, so as to avoid conflict and confusion.

OF |NFORMER ONLY
 TISSUE OF LIES
Especial from United Press.

tSpeclal rom Cn1CeQ HfeSS.J
 viterbo, Italy, March 30.-What may develop into fatal blow to the prosecution in the Camorrists trial was sprung, today, when one of the attorneys for the defense told Judge Bfanchi that he had positive proof that the confession of Informer Ab- batemaggio was a tissue of lies"
 The attorney said that this proof was now being put in shape to be presented to the court. As the whole prosecution is built around Abbate- maggio's confession, its repudiat1on would make it impossible, it is be- iieved, to convict the prisoners.
 A police officer of Naples gave the alleged proofs of Abbatemaggio $ mendacity to the defense. According to his statements, the murder of Gen naro Cuoccolo and his wife was really committed by Abbatemaggio and his confederates and was not even at the instigation of the CamOrra.
 An attempt was made to fasten the crime on the Camorra simply because the public would readily adopt such a theory, the Naples officer declares The only thing to weaken today s the Neapolitan police and carbineers have become embittered against each other as result of this trial. It is charged that the carbineers are doing everything in their power to convict the prisoners, even to Athe manufac- ture of evidence, to discredit the po- lice of Naples.
 The cross examination of Abbate- maggio continued, today. He deviat- ed but little from his story of yester- day and at times talked so glibly that one of the attorneys for the defense contemptuously rensarked:

SECRET YELLOW DOC FUND OF
 OVER MILLION
Bribe Money Paid Out With Lavish Hand by Wrecked Carnegie Trust Co. Grand Jury to Start Probe That Will Show up Rotten Banking Conditions
Especial from United Press. )

New York, March 3O.-That certain banks of New York maintain a secret yellow dog fund, which is used to bribe persons in a position to bring new business to the institutions is ex- pected to be developed by the Grand Jury now Investigating the wrecking of the Carnegie Trust Company It has already been shown that this in- stitution, which was footed right and left by a clique of politician-financiers had yellow dog'' fund that totalled S1, ,5OO, 900. From this cash was paid out with lavish hand to anyone who might be able to throw deposits to- ward the concern. Financial officials of big corporations, executors of big estates and persons occupying similar positions were bribed to turn cash over to the Carnegie.
 It is the expectation that the Grand Jury will develop that this is a gen eral practice with certain financial 1n- stitutions now doing business in this city. Already it is intimated that the developments will compel legisla- tive investigation which will expose rotten banking conditions in this state rfvalling those uncovered when the big life insurance companies were probed.
 Former officials of the Carnegie anu the NOTbnorn BanhS, 1nCenS0d over what they allege to be an at tempt to make them scapegoats, have informed District Attorney Whitman that they will tell the Grand Jury exactly how banking is conducted in New York. They have already cited names and figures and shown that there was a regular scale of commis- sions paid out for obtaining deposits
 Middlemen and principals were dealt with by certain banks and there was a general understanding regard ing the rates to be paid so that there was no securing monopoly by any institution.
 The Grand Jury has discovered that $15,000 of the Carnegie Trust cash was paid to have it's former presi- dent, the late c. c. Dickinson, elected a trustee of Cornell University and that this money was promptly charg- ed against the yellow dog' fund, the existence of which, for some reason, seems to have been unknown to the examiners who gave the concern a clean bill of health. The Grand Jury has in it's hands indictments charging felonies against six individuals but these will be held up until charges made that a former high official of the state banking department aided the officials of the Carnegie Trust Company in mutiliating their record books to conceal a loan are probed. It is expected, when the Grand Jury completes it's work, it will accom- pany the last batch of indictments with a. preSentment recommending a thorough legislative investigation of state banks and banking.

standing in the aisle and addressed me in language and manner that were both threatening.
 "I said. Go away, don't want to talk to you
 "He repeated his threatening lan- gfuage and manner
 Again I said, Go away, and leave me alone
 He persisted, and a third time said, Go away, get out
 He said, I won't get out, and you cannot throw me out
 After that there were some un- pleasant words, I do not recall them all. but as to the main facts I am certain that the man threatened me. It is not question of veracity. Rep resentatives Garde and Chandler were in their seats and heard what took place. Judge Peck of Stratford says I did not say what I am accused of saying"
 Representative Garde jumped up and said that what Banks had said was absolutely and unqualif1edly true. Chandler said Banks was mistaken in his reference to him, as he was at a hearing. Stevens of Berlin said Banks conducted himself like a gen. tleman and that all the threats came from Ullmam

'BOUNDIN' ROCKS OFF ERIC IS
 THEIR SPORT
Sturdy Swedish Boy Finds Life Strenuous Among
 Other Lads
Both His Eyes Closed, Fol lowing Blow with Stake Bottle Played Part in Early Initiation.

Eric Ericsson, a sturdy youngster of IA, whose parents hail from Northern Europe, finds life among people who come of other European strains not a small hardship. Young Eric is liv- ing with his parents at 52 Linen ave- nue. He is comparati lively a new com- CT in the neighborhood. Whenever time hangs heavy upon the hands of the other youngsters, they hunt up Eric and with much display of cere- mony, put him through @ course of sprouts that they see fit to term, 'in- ttiation.''
 Today young Eric is just able to force open his eye lids. He neglected a wound he received in the last ini- tiation given him by the youngsters, and his whole forehead has become in- fected. Dr. Krause, of the emergency hospital, who began attending the lad today says there is no danger at pres ent of the eyes being affected, but it will be many days before the lad is himself again.
 Eric told the doctor that his latest injury came from a blow of a stake across the forehead. His flesh was torn open for a considerable space. He and his parents dressed the wound with a salve, but neglected to clean 1t thoroughly with the result that an in- lection arose. This was so bad when the boy awoke this morning that his eyelids were puffed out so that he could barely open them enough to see.
 The boy confessed however that the initiation that led to his condition was nothing to one he had few months ago. When he first moved to Linen avenue, he said, the boys gave him a first class initiation. One of the stunts was beating him on the skull with a bottle.
 He was receiving the "third degree" he said when he was hurt the other day.
 His little sister, who accompanied him to the hospital was considerably incensed:
 They're all the time a-boundin' rocks off his head she declared.

TROUBLE OVER HOLDING PEACE
 CONFERENCES
Especial from United Press,

-A Especial from United PresS.) f
 San Antonio, March 3O-The time and place of holding conferences by which it Is hoped to secure peace ir Mexico and thus prevent armed in tervention on the part of the United States still remains close secret with possibility growing that interna strife in the ranks of the insurrectos may retard peace.
 Senor De La Barra, formerly Mexi- can ambassador to the United States but now minister of foreign affairs ir the reorganized Diaz cabinet, passing through San Antonio, today on his way to Mexico City. declared that while he was confident that the good common sense" of the Mexican people would ensure a speedy restor- ation of peace, he personally knew o1 no peace plans. In leaving for Mon terey, De La Barra was accompanied by Enrique Ornelas, Mexican consul at San Antonio, who is said to have borne with him some messages from members of the Madero family.
 No member of the Madero family was present at the station although ii had been expected that they would accompany De La Barra to Monterey there to meet Senor Limantour. the Mexican minister of finance and ac- company him to Chihuahua where the peace negotiations would be held. A rumor spread, today, however, that Gomez, head of the insurrectos' junta in Washington, refused to agree to having the Maderos alone conduct peace negotiations. especially since Francesca Madero ST., has never been more than lukewarm in espousing the cause of his son, Francesca Madero, Jr., in the field.
 Juan Sanchez Azcona, secretary of the Washington junta, Is on his way to San Antonio to confer with Gustave Madero and participate in any peace negotiations with that junta.
 It is expected that negotiations will be held up pending the arrival of Azcona who is expected here, tomor- row.
 Senor De La Barra was met at the railroad station by a large number ot prominent Mexican residents of San Antonio who, after conversing with the minister, confldentially expressed a be- lief that peace is sure in Mexico in two weeks.
 De La Barra, however, refused to commit himself. He handed out @ long statement, lauding the friendship be- tween Mexico and the United States in glittering generalities. Asked point blank whether he would attend a peace conference he answered:
 "I knew nothing of any peace con ference but I trust the good sense of my people will bring an end to their internal struggles. I am going straight through to the City of Mex leo and do not expect to meet Senor Limantour at Monterey, nor do I ex- pect to go to Chihuahua to attend a peace conference unless that should be decided upon after reaching Mon- terey."
 Francesca Madero. ST., it Is reported, is not to be recognized by the insur- rectos as their representative.

Final Blow Against Proposed Amendment to Federal Constitution Delivered in

Augusta, Me, March 30-Unless some of the States that are now on rec ord in opposition reconsider and change their attitude, the proposed in- come tax amendment to the Federal constitution Is dead The final blow came today when the Maine Legisla- ture, which has approved an income tax for State revenue purposes, voted to reject the suggestion of President Taft as embodied by the resolution passed by the United States Senate, July 5, 1909, and by the House three days later. Maine was the 12th State to vote against the amendment, but it is likely that New York, which kill ed the resolution a year ago, will reverse it's position before the present

Hartford. March s0.-As the result of the personalities which, have been injected into the New Haven city court judgeship contest, there is a strong probability that the legislature will vote to change the present meth cd by which judges of minor courts gre selected. It was learned today that the Judiciary committee expects to report some such bill within a short time.
 The Senate today went on record as favoring Q change in the method of appointment This was brought about by Senator Alsop who introduced a resolution requesting the Judiciary committee to recommend change in the law relating to the selection of the judges of minor courts.
 Senator Alsop said that a change is absolutely necessary for the good of the state and the good of the General Assembly. He referred to the various

The resolution was sup ported by Senator Judson who inti- mated that report changing the ex- isting measure is among the possi- bilities. He said that personally he is much opposed to the present meth ods and that he favors giving the Governor the power of appointment subject to conservation by the Senate.
 Senator Donovan also supported the resolution, likewise Senators Paddock, McNeil and Bartlett. It was subse- quently ascertained that the Judiciary committee will either through a ma jority or minority report, recom- mend a bill by which in the future the judges of all of the police, city and borough courts throughout the state shall be nominated by the Gov ernor.
 Senator Judson, it is understood. will if necessary father the minority report himself.
