EVERY BILL" IS CHARGE MADE BY
 PROHIBITION LEADER
HOhenthal is Bitter Over Treat ment of His Measures by
 the General Assembly
Special from United Press.)

(SDec1al IrOIQ OIllGO ITSSS.)
 Manchester, Sept. 22-"It is not a record to be proud of." said Emil H. G. Hohenthal. leader of the State Pro- hilton forces, today, discussing the excise legislation of the General As- sembly now drawing to a close. "They killed every bill the Prohibitionists wanted and passed at least one out rageous measure we strenuously op- posed-the bill permitting a majority of voters in no-license town to pe- tition county commissioners for sum- mer hotel licenses.
 tThis latter measure, as everyone knows. was passed for the personal benefit and at the private request of Morton F. Plant, of Groton. But what makes the whole business an outrage is the fact that the law is general in effect. Governor Baldwin is to blame for this because he told that Mr. Plants private bill was spe- cial legislation and of doubtful con- stitutionality and recommended mak- ing the bill general. In this form the measure passed both Houses with sur- prising ease.
 Chairman Kenealy, of the Repub- Iican State Central Committee, and Lawyer Charles B. Whittlesey, of New London, spent the greater part of six weeks at the capitol, in the in- terests of the bill. Senator Mahan, of New London, was another faithful worker for MT. Plant.
 e'How the bill was jockeyed back and forth between excise and judiciary committees is well known. Also, it is a fact that the bill was never regular ly introduced in either house. It first appeared in the hands of Senator Frisbie of Cromwell, chairman of the excise committee.
 Lastly every legislator who hand led the bill ought to have known that it was a frank admission on the part of MT. Plant that he had long violat- ed the law in his Groton summer ho- tel by selling liquor. The bill merely legalized what formerly had been open law breaking.''

 New Haven, Sept. 22--The use of the Torrington State Armory as a temporary hospital for the treatment of the victims of the typhoid fever epidemic, has been refused by Gov ernor Baldwin after a consultation with Adjutant General Cole. Judge Baldwin made this announcement, to- day. To put the armory to such a use would be unfair to the soldiery, said the Governor, and might put them in danger of an infection. The decision of the state authorities, was forwarded to Torrington over the long distance telephone. last night.

They follow in succession the songs. Naughty Marietta 'If I We're Anybody Else,' a pretty and varied comic duet; Meath the South ern Moon," and others.

LABOR GOT A LEMON.
 FROM LEGISLATURE
Such Measures as Employers Liability and Workmen's
 Compensation Defeated
Excise and Labor Matters Which Were Passed and Re- jected-Day of Reckoning Coming
Special to The Farmer )

Hartford, Sept 22-Labor is dissat- isfied today with the fate of labor legislation introduced at the session of the General Assembly now closing. This dissatisfaction has been voiced by the labor committee, which rep resented a large majority of the un- ions in Connecticut, and by the exc cutive committee of the State Federa- tion. Criticism has been directed particularly against the failure of en- ployers' liability to pass both houses, a measure which the platforms of both old parties promised to enact in- to law.
 When reminded of these promises, Republican legislators argued that they were not bound by platform promises.
 workmen;s compensation never had chance, in the opinion of old tim CTS. The Senate passed such an act. but the House, controlled by members ible \v outside influences, killed It.
 The commission appointed to inves- tigate State insurance for working men and the conditions of wage earn ing women and minors, are expected to do their work thoroughly and 10 report changes in the present StatuteS- However, Governor Baldwin has point ed out that the recommendations of Connecticut committees are seldom adopted by Legislatures. Labor lead CTS are asking if the new invest1ga- tions and resulting recommendations will prove exceptions.
 Not a single progressive and funda- mental labor law passed the 1911 Leg islature, according to the leaders Of 1-I, ,i1I, ;y,f e fn tn O workmen's compensation, employers liability, the trades disputes act, and the act limiting drug clerks hours to 70 a week.

GREAT RACE
FOR NATIONAL
Second Division Teams Much
Improved and Hot Cam
paigR is Expected
BOSTON IS STRONG;
CINCINNATI LOOKS GOOD

The National League last season had
one of the greatest races in its his
tory. When five teams run almost
neck and neck for the better part OF
the season il makes race that is hard
to improve on, but from present in
dications the campaign Of 1912 will
be even tighter than the strenuous tus-
sic of 1911
There was only one really weak
team i'm the National League last sea-
son, namely, the Boston Rustlers, and
they showed flashes of strength in the
flag end OF the race. However. though
they came strong az the finish, for the
greater part OF the season the Rust
lers were a joke Is the first invasion
Of the East by the Western teams Ten
neys clan failed TO annex a victory
in the series with the Cubs, Cardinals.
Pirates and Reds.
1t is hardly likely such a condition
will exist in Boston next year. There
is some good talent on the Boston rOs-
ter-mOre, in fact, than there has
been at any time since the American
League broke up the old Boston team
of 1900. John IA. Ward is likely to
make things hum in the Hub. Though
Ienney may be retained as manager.
having signed for another year. it Is
the general belief that Ward will be
the leading figure in the management
OF the team
The Superbas also should put up a
better fight than they made last year.
The team was weak at third, owing 70
zimmerman loose stick work, out
Dahlen seemed to have filled this gap
nicely when he landed Red Smith.
Brooklyn can use two hard-hitting
outfelders to keep Zach Wheat COM
pany, and it looks as il Cousins and
Davidson Will have hard fight on
their hands TO keep Hub NOrthen and
Jud Daley from playing regularly in
the outskirts.
The Brooklyns started last season
with Nap Rucker on the hospital list,
and Cy Barger was incapacitated
shortly after the campaign got under
way. With Nap and Cy ready at the
opening of hostilities next April. to
say nothing of Stack Steele, Schardt,
knetzer Dent and other youngsters,
Dahlen ought to make more of a furry
than he made in the last two years.
Cincinnati seems to be a doubtful
proposition. A good many baseball men
do not take Hank O'Day seriously as a
manager; though they are not using
the hammer on the former arbitrator
yet Cincinnati had the strength last
year TO be right up with the leaders
and on paper looked to be far stronger
than the Cardinals As Griffith could
not get any good baseball out Of the
