 Hartford. Feb. 23-By a vote of 103 0 22 the lower house of the General lssembly, today, postponed indefin- ely action on a resolution to demand President Taft an extra session of congress to revise downward or re- cal the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
 The resolution was recently fntro- uced by Representative Peck, of Red ing, who, today, called the measure rom the table. MT. Peck delivered the nly speech in favor of his resolution, wing in part:
 There are deprived of life's ne- -ssities thousands of people that nose who are comfortably fixed are nconscious of. Tn this State, last lection, there were 12 GOO Social sta otes because many people had no lith In the old parties.
 Speaking as a farmer before elec- on we are called the salt of the arth and after election 'rubes.' And
 cannot see where we have a kick oming if We fall for that game. We eed not fear the Anarchism of Mrs. loldman and Herr Most but the con- unism of great wealth for the re- friction of individual freedom and qual opportun' ty.

Especial from United Press. ]


 Sacramento, Cal. Feb. 23.-Tha the situation in the California legis lature resulting from the propose. new treaty between the United State and Japan is extremely critical. as in dicated by the state Senate's passag last night, of resolution opposin: ratification of the treaty, is admitted today. by even the staunchest adher ents of the administration of Cover nor Johnson.
 Members of both houses of the leg islature declare that California sole her birthright for mess of pottage,' when she accepted the support oi President Taft in the San Franeiscc exposition fight in exchange for a pledge that no anti-Asiatic Legislation would be passed.
 There is no denying that tho situation is extremely preearious," " said Governor Johnson's secretary We hope Californians will have tac. enough to wait until the Panama Ca nal is finished before doing anything radical for although it might not be California which would precipitate a war with Japan. California would be the first point of attack"
 Senator Sanford, author of several anti-Japanese measures said, today
 "It will take only a few speeches like Senator Burnett's, declaring that the Chinese exclusion act was won through riots and lynching to bring an expression from Californians which might result in similar scenes"

 TO GOVERNOR JOHNSON TO HEAD OFF FURTHER TROUBLE

Washington, Feb. 23.-A hurried conference with Senator Lodge. (Rep.. Mass.l ,and other leaders of the up- per house, was the outward manifes- tation by President Taft today, of uneasiness over the Japanese treaty, as a result of flood of telegraphic protests which poured into the White House from the Pacific coast. Tn he conference strengthened the Presi- dents determination that the treaty should be ratified and this afternoon h. sent the following message to Gov ernor Johnson, of California:
 'I have the resolutions transmit ed by you, The treaty and the assur- ances from Japan as to the continu- ance of the present arrangement are exactly such as 'you approved when the secretary of state and I explain ed them to you. Will you not eX- plain this to the two houses of your legislature, to prevent action by req son of misunderstanding?"

HOT ON TRAIL OF
 PAY INCREASE
Especial to The Farmer.)

Hartford, Feb. 23-A big delegation of Br dgeporters appeared before the committee on Cities and Boroughs when the hearing was opened this af- ternoon on the bill by which the city court officials expect to receive sal- ary increases aggregating over $6,000 per annum.
 That former Mayor Henry Lee is op- posing this measure became known to- day when he was seen actively engag- ed in controversy with a number of Bridgeporters who circulated through the Hobbies before the hearing was opened.
 The bill increasing the salary of the City Attorney from s1 800 to $30OO is also up for consideration today.
 Ex-Mayor Lee it is understood Is will ing to compromise on g 800 for the c.ty attorney.
 Among the Br'dgeporters at the Capitol were Judge Carl Foster. Dep uty Judge Frank l.. Wilder, Prosecut- ing Attorney A. L. Delaney, Assistant Prosecutor William A. Redden, former Probate Judge Thomas c. Coughlin, Attorney Henry E. Shannon. Attor- ney John Smith. who Is mentioned as the likely successor If John P. Gray in the deputy clerkship of the city court; Clerk George R. Burnes. IAttor- ney Abe Geduldig; E L. Graves Att torney George F. Mara, pr. A. C..
 
 Judge Edward F. Hallen of the Pro- base court, who was also at the Cap itol. said he had not come to attend the hearing on the city court matter.
 The bill introduced by Senator F. A. Bartlett of Bridgeport on which the hearing is being held this afternoon makes no reference to the fee system which prevails n the city court.
 One of the arguments that will be used against the adoption of the bill in it's present form will be that provi- sions should be made that the city court officials receive flat salary and that all fees should be abolished
 There promises to be lively con- test before the matter IS threshed out It seems to be case of every man all of whom except MT. Gray were here today, are all working hard for the salary increase but they are not working together.
 One of the propositions under cons sideration is the clipping off of the proposed increased of the assistant clerk and the assitant prosecutor. This of course does not meet W tn the approval of the adherents of Mir. Red den and MT. Smith. the latter being regarded as the likely successor to John P. Gray.
 MT. Smiths claim for the position rests upon his delivery of the Eighth district delegation which was regard ed as a Lake stronghold to the Good win interests. What MT. Gray pro- poses to do, if anyth ng. to retain his position has not become apparent. He has been seen at the Capitol seve al times of late but today was conspicu- ous by his absence.
