 The Senate declined to name a com action on the women's hatpin bill. This measures therefore dies between the two branches.
 Senator Isbell wished to have four New Haven charter amendment mat ters taken up, tomorrow, as the order of the day. The motion to postpone action was defeated when Lieut. Gov. Tingier broke a. 15 to 15 tie by voting against the motion. The chair ordered the four matters taken up from the calendar but in the meantime MT. Mo Neil claimed right of way for appro- jected to this and declared that the motion adopted the other day giving appropriation bills the right of way was a bad thing. Senator McNeil promptly replied to MT. McDonough indica ting that the relations between the two Senators are somewhat strain ed owing to the contention over the Bridgeport jrdgeship. New Haven matters were therefore taken up for discussion.
 No sooner, had the New Haven mat ters been taken up, however, and Sen ator Isbell had declared that all these charter amendments could be acted upon under the general home rule bill, than Senator McNeil made his point again that only appropriation bills should be taken up at this time. His point was well taken and a mum Der of bills of this kind were adopt ed, including those which take over from the estate of Dr. George H. Knight, the school for inabeciles at IIakeVilIe

 Darian is under the medical care of Dr. W. W. Gray, West avenue, and is today confined to his home with a head, and body. Unless internal in- juries develop his condition is not con- sidered serious.
 Both strikers and factory manage ment are today resting upon the iau- rels which they individually claim. AL though no officials of the Coe-Stap1 company could be seen today, it was not denied that imported strike break CTS were taking the place of the union maehinists out, having been brought here and guarded through a strike breaking agency. in New York. They are boarded at the Golden Hill hot el, and conveyed back and forth morning and night. Their guard accompanies them.
 The strikers, who the police main tain have conducted one of the most orderly strikes ever witnessed in Bridgeport, claim that they today have the upper hand, as not>one of the men has returned to work, and the buffing and polishing departments are prac- tically at a standStin. They further state that no shipments have been made since the inception of the trou- ble. This was not denied at the fac tory.

Purdy, administrator, against Stanley Watts. Judge of Pro- bate Bradley of Westport was called for the defense.

 He could not recall whether this conversation was in the autumn of 1910 or the winter of 1911.

 A. c. O'Laughljn, d Washington correspondent, was the first witness. Although Col. Roosevelt, on returning from Europe after his African hunt, was obliged to attend banquets and receptions rendered him by mon- archs, he never indulged in cham pagne to an immoderate degree, was the testimony of O'LaughIin, who said he had been associated with Col. Roosevelt for 20 years.
 During your 20 years experience with Col. Roosevelt, have you ever seen him in the slightest degree un- der the influence of iquor?" ''I not ence Of liquor but 1t seems absolutely silly to me to have anyone suggest the fact that he ever was,'' replied O'Laughltn, emphatica1ly.

 O'Laughlfn described the various dinners, official and otherwise, given al Washington, including dinners at the Grtdiron CIubx

One of the most extraordinary at tacks on the leaders of the Republi- can machine made in years was that of L. C.. Ryce, one of the leading members of the Republican side of the House, through the columns of the Hartford Times of yesterday.
 MT. Ryce is one of the strong men of the House, noted for his inde- pendence and freedom from domina- tion of bossism. The Times article is so timely that the Farmer republishes it.
 Accompanying this is a letter from MT. Ryce to MT Blodgett, clerk or which MT Ryce speaks in his state ment to The Times.
 Following is the article:
 On May Representative Rtyce spoke in the House about the work of the clerk of bills. The next day he had to call upon that clerk of the Gen era1 Assembly to ask a question about a, rewritten West Hartford bill, and he called officially. The member of the General Assembly says that, be- fore his question. was answered, the clerk calmly expressing the wish that what he was saying might be resent ed, called the Repres entative a sneak, a cur and a coward, and otherwise tried to force a quarrel on him. MT.
