Hartford. March 25-Wit1 the possi- ble excep, ion of the Public Utilities and the Workingmen's Compensation measures, no pending bill before the Legislature has attracted more atten- tion than the so-caled limitation bill which is being vigorously pushed by the allied emperance and prohibition interests of Connecticut During the week the Farmer published the text Of the bill by John J. Splain. of New Haven, general manager of Poli's theatrical enterprises
 The wholesale and retail liquor in- terests of the Sta have been 'fortun- ate in having as their representatives at the Capitol. Attorney J. B. Klein of the firm of DeForest & Klein of Bridgeport. and Frederick Orr of New Haven. Both of these gentlemen have made an appearance before the E-cise committee, representing their clients on practically every bill of an adversary nature which has appeared at the present session of the General Assemby
 The task of concluding the argument against the limitation bill fell upon MT. Klein. His was a keen and log ica1 analysis Of what was really sought under the suise of limitation. He showed exclusively that If the pro- posed bill became a law not onlv would millions of dollars of vested property rights be confiscated, but an immense army of workinemen would be thrown out of employment and compelled to enter into competition with the already glutted lafor market in order to earn a livelihood.
 The bill in question not only seeks to limit saloons in Connecticut to one to every one thousand of population for the future> bu. is retroactive in that it would abolish the saloons in excess of that ratio that exist at the present time. This means that in Bridgeport over 200 saloons would cease to exist, and that the County Commissioners would be forced to se- lect who the favored ones would be that might continue their business. At the present ratio of saloons in Bridge rort the loss in dollars and cents to the city would be for two years near ly $200 000, as that is Bridgeport's DOT ton of the slicense moneys. One can readily see the city's tax rate taking g another big boost to make good this deficit.
 Tn closing the discussion upon the bill. MT. Klein spoke substantially as follows:

 F1imsy Man in Jail for Two Weeks as Alleged Assailant of Union Square Girl Gets His Liberty.

William H.

 The testimony Of only two witnesses was heard when the case was inter- rupted and counsel for prosecution and defence agreed that the case should be nolied. Crofts promptly re- joined his wife who sat among the spectators, expressing confidence that he would be exonerated.
 The trial disclosed the fact that the complaining witness. Victoria Mangi- one, is not overnight. and her resti- mony was secured with much diff culty. Attorney. Jacob P. Goodhart, Of New Haven, represented the pris- oner, while Prosecutor Delaney con- ducted the case for the State.
 The arrest of Crofts was made in the ely court a fortnight ago. He appeared as q witness in another case and a deformity of his hand occasion ed through the loss of two fingers, corresponding to that given in the description of the man who had at tackled Victoria. led to his deten tion until the girl had an opportunity to see him. She identified Crofts as her assailant.
 Crofts was known by the police to loiter in the vicinity, having consider able horse dealing wi h Jim Jacques, who lives nearby. The circumStantiaI evidence was considered strong, but when the case got under way this morning it was regarded as unjust to hold Crofts upon the evidence present. ed
