WAR IN HOUSE OVER JUDGESHIP
Body Refuses to Substitute Name Of Judge Mathewson
tor that Of Howard c. Webb for Judge OF New Haven
City Court Representative Banks Claims 70 Have
Been Threatened BY Political Boss"

Hartford, March 2s.--The longest
contest in the general assembly this
session was that In the house today
when by vote of 149 to 73 that body
refused to substitute the name of
Judge A. Nice. Mathewson for that of
Howard G. Webb for judge of the city
court at New Haven. in the report Of
the COMMITTEES. on judiciary.
The house then passed the original
resolution in Mr.. Webb's favor, and
Representative Banks, having moved
reconsideration, which was refused,
with the senate. which tomorrow will
receive the resolution.
ssnats Chose Mathswson.
Should the senate adhere to it's for
msr action in substituting the name of
Judge MAthcw1on for that of Mr.
webb, there will be no decision in the
judgeship. and Judge Mathewson will
continue to preside over the city court
at New Haven until his successor is
named by the next general assembly.
oevsrnsr Cannot Appoint.
The impression. has prevailed that
In event of disagreement the governor
would have the appointment OF judge
but Attorney General Light when
asked today as to this phase Of the
matter stated that the governor had
judgeship. 1t had been understood
Mat a COMMITTEES Of democrats had
waited upon the governor to ask him
to withhold his signature to Judge
Mathewson's commission should It go
to him, but this was proven to be in
correct, although during the debate to-
day the assertion was made that the
governor would not sign Judge Ma
thewsons commission.
Personalities INDUCED In.
The debate over the amendment was
a very lively one. ana at times per-
sonalIties- were INDUCED in. Repre-
sentative Banks. the house leader, who
as chairman of the committee, closed
the debate, not only attacked Senators
Judson of the judiciary committee for
the failure of the latter to defend the
report of the committee when it was
before the senate, but attacked Col.
I. M. Ullman of New Haven In a way
which created a sensation. AS soon as
Representative Banks finished, roll
call vote was taken.
Mathewsen Not Fitted.
Representative Banks in closing said
that ne had nothing personal against
Judge Mathewson. 1t had been for
the Judiciary committee to determine
which of the two men was best fitted
for the office. He said: Judge Ma
thewson is not fitted for the judicial
position The question of politics has
been raised. If l wanted to be unxind
/ could say why the gentleman from
Stamford (Mr. Phillips) had spoken as
he did. He had been in frequent con-
ference with Colonel Ullman and had
asked him (BanSs) to support his res
Olution concerning Russian passports
Representative Banks said that Mr..
Phillips had been receiving orders
concerning the judgeship from that
man of his race. Colonel U1lnan."

met Tied to any Political Boss"
Representative Phillips rose to a
question of personal privilege and aft
er saying that he was mot tided down
to any political boss he was inter-
rupted by the call for a roll call.
The statement of Representative
Banks that he had been threatened by
Colonel Ullman led to active inquiry
after the house adjourned: This
showed that Representatives Banks in
the corridor before the house met had
made statements regarding Colonel
Ullman which, owing to their charac-
ter, were brought to Colonel UIlman's
attention.
The Alleged Threat.
Colonel UIIman called Senator
Lounsbury and asked IL he would be
willing to serve as witness while he
ullman1 sought Representative
Banks and asked him questions as to
whether he had made certain state
ments attributed to him. Colonel
Ullman and Senator Lounsbury went
into the house chamber to Represen-
tative Banks seat, where Colonel Ull-
|! the statements. Representative Banks
is said to have waved him away, say
ing he had no time to bother with him.
Colonel U1lman told him that II he
made the statements attributed to him
he would give him the opportunity to
prove them. If he made the charges
on the floor of the house Colonel Ul1-
man said he would have the same
taken verbatim and would still give
Representative Banks a chance to
prove them According to those who
were present. Representative Banks
refused to talk except to refer to Col
one1 Ullmau's nationality. The incl
dent closed then. except for Represen-
tative Banks statement in his speech
that he had been Threatened by Col
one1 Jilman.
Democrats Against Substitution.
In the voting, most of the demo-
Gratis voted against substitution, upon
advice, it was claimed of Chairman
G. w. Comstock of the democratic
state central committee, under the i'm
preston which seemed prevalent thai
in case of disagreeing on the action
the governor would have the opportun-
ity to appoint a democratic Judge al
New Haven.
In the debate also there, was refer
ence to reports that a member of the
| legislature had been promised courl
position in case of the success of one
of the candidates.

CAPITOL CHATTER
Little sidelishts on Legislators and Legislation

conditions in New Haven, CHASING re-
publieans and democrats alike during
the debate on the New Haven judge
ship matter, Tuesday morning that he
brought Representative Kenna of that
city to his feet with the demand that
specific charges of the alleged corrup-
ton be put in writing. Representative
Dunn replied that he had attended too
many conventions in New Haven not
to know what he was talking about.

BAN ON C0LORED TEA
FOOD COMMISSIONER SERVES NO.
TlcE TO DEALERS.
No lmportations Of Artificial colors
After May and No Sales In Buck
eye State After July I.

Columbus, O.-Tea Is to be tea
In Ohio after July 1 without any
artificial coloring. One result will
be that so.called green and black
species will be very much alike in
appearance. Another probably will be
an immediate increased demand for
the artificially colored teas now on
the market. Dairy and Food Commits
sioner Strobe has sent notice to gro
GERS and dealers informing them that
the national board of tea experts has
ordered that no artificially colored
teas can be admitted to the United
States after May /. Strobe gives two
months of grace to Ohio dealers. In
explanation he said:
This action is radical departure
from the long established custom and
universal practice of selling artificially
colored teas So long as the importa-
ton of colored tea was permitted by
the national government it was i'm
possible for the states to maintain an
uncolored standard, although their
food laws may have been broad
enough to cover this kind of adultera.
ton, as is the case in Ohio. The
practice of coloring tea by artificial
methods is naturally thought to be
resorted to for the purpose of con-
cealing damage or inferiority and
making it appear better than it really
is. The dairy and food department
will cooperate with the national
board in preventing the sale of col
ored teas, but that dealers may have
time to dispose of stocks on hand, the
ban will not go on in Ohio until July
1, 1911, and the dealers are asked to
govern themselves accordingly. The
decision means that as soon as the
green tea now in the country is dis
posed of Japanese and Chinese green
teas will be olive green in color in
stead of the present grayish tone, the
difference between the two shades be-
ing very marked. Ceylon green tea,
which also is artificially colored, will
also be changed in appearance. 1t
will be olive green and will resemble
uncolored Japan teas"

WOMAN IS CONVICTED
MRS. MEL6ER GUILTY OF SECOND
DEGREE MURDER.
Judge Sentences Mother Who Has
Been on Trial for Staying Son
to State Prison.

Albany, N. Y.-"Edith Melber, you
have been found guilty of MUIR
der in the second degree, for
which l sentence you to serve an in
determinate term at hard labor in the
state prison at Auburn, the minimum
of which shall be 20 years and the
maximum shall be your natural life."
These words falling from the lips
of Justice Wesley o. Howard ended
the suspense under which Mrs. Mel
ber had been laboring for two weeks
during her trial for the murder of her
five-year-old son, George Melber, on
January 6, last. While they were be-
ing pronounced solemn stiffness fell
over the big court room, women
leaned forward in their seats to catch
the words of the court, men listened
with silent attention while q big
crowd waited outside to learn the out
come of the trial. Mrs. Melber paid
no more attention to the verdict and
sentence than she has at some of the
other incidents of the trial. 1t was
not until the jury had been discharged
that she broke down and wept copi-
ouoiy. VI Syi q
cuse, SISTER of Mrs. Melber, also wept,
while Mrs. Stamford of Schenectady
tried to comfort them both.
While Howard Kirk was standing in
line with the jurymen to get his pay
for acting as a witness Mrs. Simmons
strobe up to him and shaking her
finger in his face accused him of be-
ing responsible for her sisters down
fall. He tried to avoid the glances
that Mrs. Melber cast at him as she
passed him on her way from the court
and appeared to be deeply affected by
the tongue lashing given him by Mrs.
Simmons.
Mrs. Melber is reported to have said
that Kirk was the one who was re-
sponsible for her trouble.
