you voted to send a poor man to jail if he would not pay a $2 tax, and to- day you are letting a corporation with millions go without paying a cent Donovan insisted the proper course tC pursue was to table the original bill and wait until it was learned whether the House would pass the independent act introduced by Judson.
 Senator Brinsmade spoke for the resolution. Senator Donovan chal- lenged Senator Spellacy to produce the authorities to substantiate his state ments. Senator Peck thought the res oiution should be adopted, regardless of the independent resolution cover ing the same subject, and go back to the House in that form. He said he would do everything in his power to until such an amendment had been adopted. 'Is there a Senator here willing to go on record as giving to this Connecticut River Company the privileges worth at least $10,000, ,0O0. We are here to look after the interests of the people; we are looking after th g interests of the corporation. We have done that in the past, and such actions have been stench in the nostrils of decent people. I am determined to stay here until some such action as this is taken. We have been here seven months I am willing to stay seven more to accomplish this.''
 It was evident that Senator Peck meant business, and the shades of night were looming up in the gloam- ing. The proponents of the original bill led by Senator Barnum fought tenaciously to get the bill through the Senate in concurrence with the House without amendment. They had agreed to accept the Judson amendment as an independent act in the form of an amendment to the charter of the com pany and supported it when it was passed.
 But Peck, Donovan, F'enn, Brinsmade and Hooker held there was no guaran- tee that the House would pass it. Therefore the proper thing to do was to lay the original bill over pending action by the House on the Judson amendment Senator JudSon said he believed the good faith of the men interested in the concern could be de- pended upon to see that the House concurred with the Senate, and he was not afraid to pass the original bill with the expectation of concur renee on the other measure by the House.
 Donovan said he could not follow Judson in this view, and Peck, Fenn, Brinsmade, Leonard and Hooker took the same view They held that the proper thing to do was to amend the original bill by adding the Judson amendment concerning taxation and anti tolls. If the stockholders ob- iected to this amendment being tackled

Wilbur F., Smfh
 Is Reapponted
 As Game Warden
Says There is Practically no Change in Game Laws as Far as This Season is
 Concerned

Wilbur F. Smith, of South Norwalk, game warden for Fairfield County was reappointed. today, for a term of two years. Besides finishing nine months of the uneXpired term of his predecessor while deputy, the present appointment is Mr.. Smiths third con- secutive term. He maintains an ex- cellent record alike among officials and huntsmen.
 Owing to the fact that the new legislation with regard to the game laws has not yet come from the print CTS. the warden, today, gave out the following statement for the benefit of hunters:
 New legislation takes effect on Nov. first, unless otherwise stated to take effect on passage, hence the opening of the hunting season will begin the same as last year.
 Shore birds, or snipe and blower, and wild ducks, may be shot from Sep- tember first till December thirty-ffrst.
 Quail, Woodcock and Partridge shooting will open on October first and end on November twenty-third
 There is no change in the squirrel law and the rabbit law is not settled as yet.

HONEST MEDICINES
 VERSUS FAKES.

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs law in it's relation to Prepared Medicines, does not refer to such standard medicines as Foley s Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of in gradients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical pro- fession itself as the best known rem edial agents for the diseases they are intended to counteract For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound has been a standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for chill dren and for grown persons, and it retains today its e-eminence above all other preparations of it's kind. Fo- ley Kidney Pills are equally effective and meritorious. F. B. Brill and Cur

To Make a Glass Cutter.

A glass cutter can easily be made with an ordinary mapping pen and a small piece of carboruRdum or car bide of silicon. Cut oil part of the nib to form small tube. Fit a crys- tai or part of one of carborundum into the tube, take 1t out again and dip one end in cement and replace it. Next wind piece of fine wire tightly around the tube and part of the handle and fix it in notch cut in the latter. Put it aside for day to allow the ce- ment to harden. A glass cutter made thus will do its work as well as the expensive diamond and a great deal better than the ordinary wheel cutter.
