MINERS VOTE WILL 60 TO CORBIN
New London Senator Declares For Present Tax Conn's
 sioner and @Efhciency-Other Democratic Desertions Probable and Corbin's Confirmation Practically Assured Governor Baldwin Invited to Attend Caucus Today

l Hartford, Conn, March 25.-The work of the general assembly revolved l around the Corbin nomination in the senate today. Comparatively little business was on the clerks desks in either branch and for the first sessi n day of the week few reports were sent in by committees. In the upper branch senators were kept in suspense as to whether or not Senator Landers for the committee would report upon the governors nomination of MT. Corbin for tax commissioners Frequently while the calendar was being disposed of Senators Landers and Isbel1 were in conference.
 Democrats Secure Delay.
 With everything else out of the way Senator Landers finally submitted the unanimous report of the committee fabvorabIe to MT. Corbin. There were three empty seats. all of democrats. and Senator Purcell, fearful that ho could not obtain a majority of the 32 votes present on a motion to reject, at once moved to delay action. This led to sharp debate in which so-called senatorial courtesy which the demo -s crats had denied to Senators Perry. Isben and Reynolds last week on the county eommissionership resolutions was invoked. On this ground chiefly action was put over until Thursday noon- John J. Mcfarland for factory inspector was confirmed.
 Miner Declares for Cerbin.
 After the senate session the demo- Crats got together to decide their method of procedure. Senator Miner announcement that he would vote for MT. Corbin and efficiency" had indi-' cated that the democratic majority was disappearing
 In the caucus a vote passed to have Governor Baldwin invited to address it tomorrow on the matter of MT. Cor bins nomination. The governor had been in attendance at a meeting of the trustees of the state agricultural col lege and did not know of the caucus a ction at the time the latter broke up It Is presumed that he will see the democratic senators. According to the latter the secondary grievance over the nomination is that Governor Bald win did not consult with the den1,,- crats in the senate over the nonnina tion.
 Cerbin's Confirmation Seems Assured.
 The primary reason announced for opposition to Mir. Corbin is that the latter is a republican. The confrma- ton of MT. Corbin seemed assured this

 Say that the caucus tomorrow will again bind it's member to reject the nomination.
 In the house the only action of striking moment was the rejection of bill to change the season for hunting rabbits and wild hare and limiting the
 bag to five day to each hunter. The bill had been reported favorably. The present status of game measures IS that the committee has recommends no change in the present season on birds, and & change in the season on duck, geese and brant so that fifteen days are taken off September and add ed to January. This is expected 70 pass, as hunters admit that a January bird with it's plurnpness is better than the skinny bird with pinfeathers in September. The open season on deer has not yet come in.
 Opposition to Peace Celebration. that In the house chamber was best attended. It was on the governors recommendation that the state appro priate money for observance of the centenary of peace between England and the United States. No one favor eG the bill. The opposition was strong and came mostly from Hibernian and German organizations. The chief ar gument advanced was that there had not been hundred years of peace with England. that that latter country had not failed in all the intervening years to show her hostility towards this country. Captain Lawrence O'Brien read paragraphs from a pre- pared statement which embodied lib eTaI quotations from British news papers showing their hostility to this country and their alleged slanderous references to some of our great presi- dents, including Lincoln. He left his statement with the committed
 Never Will Be Peace With England.
 c. J. Danaher of Meriden made the most eloquent of the several arxli- nents, declaring that there never had been and never would be peace with England. He declared that England rever kept a treaty made with this and in conclusion read from the Life of Orville H. PIatt," in which the senator had given his expression of the faithlessness of Great Britain in carrying out its treaty obligations

The bill enanatins from the New London Cemetery associate which provided for the exemption from tax ation of cemetery property. was re- ported unfavorabiy by the committee on finance to the house where the bill originated It was voted to accept the report Of the committee and reject the bill. At present all property used for cemetery purposes is exempt from tax at1on. It was explained that the New London association held in trust the Barker & May building in State street that brought a rental of nearly S2O0o annually. The proceeds of this build ing were Willed by the estate Of B. F. 'Beckwith, to the cemetery associa- ton to be devoted to building memo rial waiting station in Cedar Grove cemetery and for the general improve ment of the cemetery. At the hearing a parallel case was given in the Man waring Hospital association that is now building big business block in New London and which is to be ex- empted from taxation under the char ter. The proceeds of this building are to be devoted to the Manwaring hos pital for children, yet to be establish ed. The committees policy is against exemption from taxation no matter how worthy the cause.
 The committee on agriculture made report that was favorable for an ap- propriatiOn for the North Stonington grange fair, but recommended refer ence to the committee on appropria- lions. By statutes the grange was en- titled to the sum of $20o for the fair given in 1911, but through misunder- standing claim for the amount was not made within the required time The appropriation for 1912 was received and now the grange seeks to recover the s200 due for the fair of 1911.

The latter trees were the only ones
that I examined where the charac-

These spots on the fruit resemble
the effect produced by the San Jose

spots become larger and light

Later the spots turn brown and
when abundant become continent.
On badly affected peaches cracks

This fruit spot and the shot hole
effect on the leaves are associated
with a disease of the twigs and are
evidently caused by the same fun

a splitting of the bark on the

spring or they may start and later
die after the leaves are well out and
the fruit set. Under these condi-
tons the foliage and young fruit die
and later fall.
THE cracks and spots frequently
develop into small cankers which
may girdle the twigs. Similar
cankers may be found associated
with the buds that have been killed.
On account of the fact that the
