thirty minutes session sufficed for
both houses of the legislature when
they met for the opening of the state
legislature on Tuesday. While the sit
tingS were brief, they were neverthe-
less very busy ones.
In the house Speaker Frederick A.
Scott's gavel fell just q minute after
the noon hour, and Rev. Hugh G.. Rus
sell made the opening prayer. The
swearing in of few new members
was the first buseiness transacted, fol-
lowed by the fling of petitions for
seats in the house, for several who had
their cases referred for consideration
to the committee on contested elec-
tions.

Then came a shower of petitions

an inquiry as to whether it was allow
able to introduce general bills and res
olutions and to refer such matters to
committees not yet appointed, Speaker
Scott rule that, in his opinion, it was
allowable, if not customary, and that
he would consider is in order So the
members filed another batch of propo-
sitions that they seemed anxious to
get in.
Three Days Week.
Incidentally, the house had not been
in session twenty minutes when OF be-
came apparent that the proposal to
hold sessions four days a week is not
a popular one. Speaker Scott ruled
that it is entirely within the province
of the members to say how many days
a week they shall spend in Hartford.
and it is a safe prediction that three
will be the limit. The principal OBJ
lection to four consecutive days of sit
ting each week is that 1t would take
many of the legislators away from
business too frequently. The matter
was not definitely decided Tuesday but
consideration of the matter was pre-
cfpitated by the fact that the bulletin
of the house carries a calendar calling
for four days a week at the capitol
during January and February.

hat and into the death; death was
probably instantaneous.
Smith was last seen a week ago
today, when he asked his wife for
money and left the house. On the
same day he told several people that
he intended to commit suicide and
probably carried out his purpose on
that day, as the medical examiner
stated that he had evidently been dead
