ADJOURN LATE TODAY

Judgeship-Gratuities Voted.

Hartford, Conn, Sept 20.-Very lit
tie remains before the legislature in
the way of business, and final ad-
journment may come late tomorrow
There remains in the house the. gov
ernor's veto of the bread bill which
also will have to go to the senate. In
the upper branch tomorrow will be
I considered the governors veto of the
highway appropriation bill, which was
overridden by the house today. The
forecast is that the senate will pass
the appropriation bill, the veto not
withstandins. by a party vote.
The New Haven. Judseship.
There are a few matters to be dis
posed of, one being the bill to equalize
tfta senatorial districts which is on the
house calendar. The evast status of
the New Haven judgeship matter,
which today was again the subject of
controversy, is that the house has in
definitely postponed the Webb resolu-
ton. The senate has tabled its own
Webb resolution and has amended the
house resolution in favor of Hoyt by
substituting in it the name of Webb
and having refused to reconsider this
action has sent it on to the house
Fight for Webb in House.
In effect the house will have before
Il tomorrow a new resolution bearing
Mr. Webb's name. Having defeated
the effort to make Webb judge, the
consider its attitude and choose Wsba
over Hoyt.
House Rejects New Charter
The status of the Connecticut River
company's bill is that the house re-
fused to receive the new charter for
the company which the senate had
PASSED and which had been endorsed
by Governor Baldwin. Neither the
majority nor the minority interests
were in favor of the new charter and
the lawyers who have been prominent
as counsel on the contending sides
were disposed to feel happy at the
action of the house.
A Committee of Conference.
When the fact became known in the
senate that the charter had been re-
fused consideration in the house, SEN
ator Mahan expressed his disp1easure
at this action. He said the senate had
been placed in an unenEiable position.
He hoped, however, that the stock
holders of the company would get to-
! gethar and settle differences. A mo-
tion to Indefinitely postpone was de-
feated and the senate appointed a
committee to meet a house committee
to see if some way might be found
through which the house could receive
the matter.
Two Gratuities Voted
The senate voted $500 each to A C.
Georga E. Hinman, the clerk of bills,
for special services, but refused to
pass any other bills for special SER
vices.
Employers Liability Bill Goes Over.
The employers liability bill was re-
ferred to the next assembly. A resolu-
ton concerning election of United
States senators by the people was in
definitely postponed. The bill to make
an appropriation for the bureau of
weights and measures was rejected.
Charter Veto Sustained.
AS the Connecticut River company's
charter matter had been disposed of in
another way, the governors veto of the
Judson resolution concerning this com
pany was sustained, q votes against
the bill and none for it.
Governor Close Up to Legislature.
1t is understood that the governor
{ is close up to the legislature in sign
ing of bills and there probably will be
little delay in adjourning the body sine
die.
Highway Commission Bill Passed.
Hartford. Sept 20-The house
passed over the governors veto this
afternoon the highway commissioner
appropriation bill by a vote of 104 to
IS.
