S325,ooo TO BUILD
 ISSUE FOR GOOD ROADS Report Not Vet Made by Committee -NeW Judeeship Bill.

Hartford Conn, May 1-The leg islative session today was one of strict attention to business without much time given up to oratory. A Friday session was voted in both branches after it had been emphasized in the senate that there would be no effort to secure joint action on hours of setting on days of the week to be used for business. The house declined the Overtures of the upper body for a conference on this matter, it's mem bers being of the opinion that they could determine their own hours and therefore suit their own convenience.
 The Judgeship question which came to the fore yesterday was met today by suggestions of solution, one by proposed constitutional amendment which if accepted four years hence would give the chief executive the right to appoint all minor court judges subject to confirmation by the gen. eral assembly, and the other by 8 change in statute law defining the method of appointment of these judges which is identically the same. The Judiciary committee by a major ity report brought iii a bill for a new law. It is understood that this ma Jority holds the opinion that as the right of the governor to appoint judges of the common pleas courts, subject to confirmation, under the con- HaS never been Qu6SL1On6Q, the same right can be given the gov ernor in the case of the inferior court. The New Haven home rule bill, the first of its kind in the state. will soon be in the hands of the governor.
 The public health and safety com- mittee has voted to report a bill which will give the state board of health power to devise a plan for control of pollution of inland and tidal waters which will be comprehensive and &C., ceptable to localities affected, and re- port this plan to the next general as- sernbly.
 The finance committee has not yet acted. but the sentiment of the mem bers is understood to be against bringing in a bill for a $5,000, 900 bond issue, the ,avails of which are to be used exclusively for laying so-called permanent pavements on routes rec commended by the Good Roads associa,- ton.
 The inquiry into the statements of Attorney Cole of Waterbury to the ef- feet that lawyers in the assembly have had retainer fees from the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad company and which statements MT Cole claims were made in a jocular way is ended. The committee will report next week and the incident will be closed.

Especial to The Bulletin)


 Danielson, May Wills D. Lam bert, charged with the murder of his wife, was bound over for trial at the superior court after a hearing before Deputy Judge James N. Tucker in the town court Thursday afternoon and later taken to the county jail in Brook lyn
 At the inquest conducted by Coron- CT Arthur G. Bill in the town court room Thursday morning, Lambert be- Ing; warned in advance that he need make no statement unless he desired to do so and that anything that he might say might be used against him. the prisoner told of the crime and the incidents leading up to it, his story not differing materially from the state ment that he gave for The Bulletin on the previous evening.
 Was InsaneIy Jealous.
 Lambert is somewhat hay about incensequental details, as to hours. of the day and night when certain incl dents occurred but admits his guilt of the brutal murder committed at a time when he was grossly intoxicat- ed, offering the explanation that this and an insane jealousy are responsi- ble for his horrible deed. The mur- derer did not volunteer a running story of the crime to Coroner Bill, but the latter secured it by d long series of questions relating to Lambert's ac- tionS and movements from Tuesday morning up to the time of the murder. The prisoner readily answered all ques- tions put to him, but gave no more in formation at any one time than was necessary.
 Dces Not Remember Shooting.
 The double barreled shotgun which played such an important part in the crushing out of Mrs. Lambert's life has been owned by the murderer for about a month. While Lambert ad- mits that he beat Mrs. Lambert over the head with the weapon and struck her other fFightful- blows with it, he denies any remembrance of having used it to shoot her in the hip, though he did so. This gunshot wound would not by itself have been fatal, for it is evident that Lambert's aim was poor, though he fired at short range. The wounds on the head and in the abdo- men and back, together with the broken leg and arm and fingers, with other injuries, not printable, eventual ly caused the womans life to ebb away hours after she was so atro- ciously assaulted
 Shuddered at Sight of Wife's Body.
 Lambert admits that there was a fearful struggle in the bedroom, where his wife lay dead when the officials arrived, and this is borne out by the blood spattered headpiece of the bed, by the fact that the clothing had been torn from Mrs. Lambert's body and by other evidence. When called by the coroner and officers to look upon the body of his victim, Lambert had to be pushed into the room and after one glance at the result of his ghastly work, he shuddered, turned his head aside and shrank back.

Will Make a Show of Supporting President Wilson
 by Voting For Hopeless Resolution
WILL THEN VOTE FOR ANTI-ALIEN LAND BILL
Party Platform Pledges Them Aid in Enactment of Such
 Law-Agree Not to Demand Reconsideration in Return For Delay of Final Action Matter-Fnal RoIcall Scheduled For Today-Litte Doubt as to the Result

Sacramento, May 1.-An indication of the form. the democratic opposition xiIi take to the passage of the Webb redraft of the anti alien land bill was given in the senate today when the measure came up for final action.
 It was the original plan of the pro- EreSsive majority in it's assurance of a successful issue to force the bill to a vote at once. but at the request of the democrats a postponement of one day was granted at the last minute. The matter was set as special order Tor T o'clock tomorrow morning.
 Democrats to Support Wilson,
 In return for the delay. the admin istration leaders received pledge from the minority that it would abide by the results as shown in the final rolicall tomorrow and not to demand a reconsideration. Thus the progress sives feel that although apparently they lost a day. in reality they saved several by checking further efforts to impede their plans.
 The brief debate today on the mo- tfon to postpone disclosed the racI that the democrats have hardened to the advice from Washington as delivered by Secretary of State Bryan and Will make a formal stand in support of the national administration. In order to meet the issue squarely, Senator Cur tin democrat, introdt ced a resolution setting forth the fact that President Wilson is opposed to the alien land bill and including the following declara- ton:
 Platform Calls for Anti-AIfen Law.
 "Be it Resolved, That the people of the Etate of California do hereby defer fo the wishes of the president of the United States. and this lgislature Will not at this session pass the bills here fin mentioned"
 1t Is believed generally that to the extent of supporting Curtin's resoiu- ton the democrats will defer to Secre- tary Bryan. Beyond that, however, their party platform in Chicago calls upon them to aid in the enactment Of an zn1i-alien land law, and most or fhern are expected to cast their votes for the Webb bill in its present form, if it succeeds in escaping amendment. Eenztor Camfnetti. democrat, Worklng independently of his colleagues, is pre- pzring several amendments to ehe Webb bill to be offered tomorrow, The

Lambert denied this as wholly false. He says he has had living at his home only the three children that have been ac-- counted for, and this is now accepted as true. The explanation seems tO be that the child who told the story formed the theory 1t was based orr when the two women who first came to their home to bring aid to the mother left, taking the seven months old baby with them to care for ft, tho father wrapping garment about it's ill-clad body to protect 1t from the cold Inquiry also revealed that am other daughter, Uretta, 10. who was placed in the county home three years ago, when her parents were sent to jail, is now living with a family fin Norwich, where she was placed last year so she is eliminated as a nossf- ble victim.

Neither does he claim to know that anyone came there during | the night.
 A squaIid Home.
 Thursday afternoon Coroner A c. Bill went to the scene of the murder to collect certain evidence that is available there. In a lonely setting, the interior of the tumhle-down structure presents an appearances of squalor. This cclldition of the home is duplicated in the dress of the chil- dren, the two eldest of whom are be- ! ing temporarily well cared for at the town farm, while the babe is with & : family in Pomfret Tn all probability the children will be sent to the county home as wards of the town of Pom fret, where the family has lived for years.

drafts were not completed tonight, he said, and he declined to discuss the changes he expects to propose.
 Not Alarmed by Wilson's Warning.
 No apprehension was aroused by the warning against the Webb bill tele- graphed to Governor Johnson by Pres ident Wilson It is the belief both of Governor Johnson and Attorney Gen. eral Webb that regardless of how he act was worded it probably would in volVe an appeal to the courts as Sug- gested by President Wilson.
 Attorney General Webb tonight said:
 T have been shown the president s telegram to the governor to the effect that the proposed land bill might in- Volve an appeal to the courts. and 1t has been in the minds of everyone hav- ing to do with this subject of leg1sla- tion, since the beginning of the ses- sion, that any character of bill must necessarily involve the same thing.
 Expect Courts to Pass on Question.
 "No method of avoiding an appeal to the courts by the parties interested has occurred to us. and if the federal government is advised of the existence of a way to avoid this question, with out a complete and unWarranted sur render of the rights of the state, 1t Is to be regretted that such method IS not pointed out by the telegram.
 If this act should be passed, quite realize that hereafter some person might contend for greater rights than the act would seem OF it's face to give him, and in that ease it would be quite proper for the courts to pass upon the question. I ana at a loss. however, at this time, to understand how the fed eral government could become Tn any way involved in or be responsible for such a contention.'
 Bryan Remains at Sacramento.
 Secretary Bryan, who was in his temporary office at the capitol building all day, with the exception of the time spent on his inspection trip through 8 nearby Japanese colony. has decnneo to discuss the question raised by the president.
 There is much interest in the future movements of the secretary of state, who has given out no word as to his immediate plans other than to say that he expects to remain in Sacra- mente flor several days.'
