Oklahoma City. April 23.-The
house of representatives Tuesday
passed over the governors veto the
bill to abolish the state enforcement
department. The vote was II to 10,
with IL absent, or five more than
necessary.
The house action followed a short,
iorcible debate, in which Represen-
tative Sharp on one side and Repre-
sentatives Riddle, Howell Smith, Cur
tis and others, on the other, took
part. Representative Curtis, who Is
a member of the general investigating
committee, took occasion to criticize
the governor on general legislative
points, notably for vetoing bills to
abolish his personal appointees.
The regular session passed a bill
to abolish the department, of when
W. j. Caudill is head, but the governor
vetoed the measure The bill was re-
vived at the special session, and
pasaed without the emergency, so
that it would be easier to pass it over
the governors veto
The governor vetoed the idea the
second time Monday, standing by his
original claim that the office was
necessary, and in addition accused
the legislators OF bad faith in taking
the bill up again after he had vetoed
it once

check an attempt to put the bill over

 The first clash on the bill came upon the Ryce amendment which. it was explained by Chairman Marsdea of the committee on incorporation. the company was willing to allow, la eX- explaining his amendment the West Hartford representative declared that he had no peeuniary interest ID the company. but when he read that the company was abusing it's great char ter power. he hastened te read the charter. lie then drew up his amend ment He declared that the charter had been granted at a tsme when it vas the style to give all sorts Of power to these companies. but he was absolutely sure that his amend ment would stop watering Of stock by the company.

 Representative Stoddard of Wood bridge declared that il wasn't fair to tack this sort Of an amendment onto this bill unless similar amendment was put on other bills, and Represent ative Wilson said he favored the amendment because it did control the company 10 some extent and he be- lieyed it was step in the right di- Ieetion.

 The Grand Army Post of our city have been wise in selecting and f0Ttu- nate in securing as the orator for Me morial Day Rev. James E. King, pas tor of the Congregational church of Eastford. Mr King has an honorable record as a soldier and an equally en- viable one as a Christian gentleman, pastor and preacher He has been in Eastford for five or six years and has endeared himself to the people as public spirited citizen and eloquent speaker.

 The recent action of the Windham Association in connection with the printing of the reports of the churches Is Of great importance in the ealtiva- ton and advancement of the spirit Of Christian fellowship.
