 Though last week was the first of the present session In which the gen eral assembly has met four days, there was little effect of this shown in the business done. The house on Thurs day failed altogether 10 touch its cal endar. largely because 1t carried out the reputation hong since gained for the proslest house and inclined to talk the longest over the smallest matters of any in recent years and spent most of the time during Fridays session clearing this off The senate had agreed not 10 take up any matters of moment on Friday, and less than a quorum of its members were present that day This state Of affairs will hardly last long The house had quorum, but not much more. and if il fails to have on Friday Of this week there are members ready to adjourn 1t at the first possible moment for the lack of a quorum.
 On Wednesday the Hartford city court judgeships were the subject of some discussion in the senate, Senator Spellacy urging that there WAS una nimity among the Hartford senators against Judge Clark, though he didn't mention his name. and he therefore was desiruus of more time to prepare fo meet the judiciary committees re port in his favor Senator Judson, for the committee. was much opposed Ia delay. but finally the seuate granted Senator SpelueN,s request The New Haven city court judceShiFs for Whsch fine judiciary committee had reported Howard C Webb ta succeed Jndge \.

 Income Tax Amendment
 In the house the amendment to th, national constitution concerning fed eral income tax was discussed a length. It had been made the ordel of the day in that body for March 2' on report from the committee ol federal relations. but it seemed to many members that il ought to have further discussion and the judiciary commit tee was the proper committee before which this should come, II was stated that there are many ohieetorS to tht proposition In Connecticut and that eX chief Justice HamcrSleY ef the Su preme court desired te appear Uad
