Norwich bulletin., 1913-06-04

Hartford, Conn, June 3-Ihe gener- al assembly will be adjourned sine die some time tomorrow, probably very late in the day. The hour depends upon the disposition of a large amount of business still in hand. Much was accomplished today but there are yet numerous measures of some moment There were rumors of veto messages and an extra session. The governor Ras also quoted by a caller as having jaid in response to an inquiry that he had never said he would veto the $5,- POO 900 good roads bond bill.
 Gratuities Voted Down.
 The senate by it's action in refusing to admit resolution paying the legis- lative barber $500 for his services. is expected to be against gratuities of all kinds. Early in the day the senate had voted down a resolution to give doorkeepers an extra S1G0.
 Business done by both branches was on the rapid transmission plan. As soon as a measure was passed in one body it was sent to the other for con- current action.
 The senate rejected the bill provid- ing for street sprinkling in cities and borOughs at the expense of the abut- tors, in non n-concurrence. 1t gave SS000 additional to the state police to meet expenses which will be incurred by carrying out laws which have just been passed. Deadlock on County Commissioner
 ships.
 In concurrence it adopted the sum- mer hotel license bill; the trolley = running board bill; establishing a fire mems pension and relief fund in Meri- den which the house had rejected.
 On all county commissionership res- olutiOns the senate agreed to disagree on the republican candidates, and to stand by its action in eecting demo- cratic candidates. This brings a dead lock and the question arises whether the governor will fill vacancies which will exist on July l in seven county commissions
 Sunday Hotel Action Postponed.
 After debate the bill to permit ho- tels of 25 rooms capacity to serve guests with liquors between certain hours was indefinitely postponed, in disagreement with the senate which had passed it.
 An appropriation of S6,000 for sal aries of the commissioners to be ap- pointed under the workmen's compen- sation act was adopted and sent to the senate.
 The bill to have legislative agents registered was rejected.
 The Greenwich Judueship.
 The resolution appointing Repre- sentative William c. Rungee judge of AuC DOlOUSA COUIL Ol GTS6LW1Cu, WHICH this morning was adopted by the house, was rejected by the senate this afternoon. Reconsideration of this re Jection was refused. The vote for the resolution was 13 and against it 19, four republicans voting against and the same number of democrats voting for Rungee. In the house a sharp at . tack was made upon conditions of long standing in the borough court Of Greenwich but in spite of this the resolution went fhrn1Iorh IIT margin, party lines being ignored.
 Dramatic Setting to Debate.
 Tn the senate the rejection of the name was accompanied by debate which was almost dramatic in it's set ting. Many house members went to the chamber to see what fate was in store for the name. Before the resp luton had been taken from the hous , to the senate, Representative Rungce himself was In the chamber, anxious for the matter to come up. He was not in the chamber during the discus sion of Greenwich court conditions.
 The rejection of MT. Rungees name may bring about a deadlock over this court judgeship which will be settled by Governor Baldwin under his au .. thority to fill vacancy after the ad- jOurnment of the senate and when the commission of Judge Charles D. Burnes expires.
 Court Conditions Denounced.
 The Greenwich matter was one which produced a tense situation for many moments. Senator McDonough, who was of the minority against MT. Rungee, denounced in fiery language the court conditions in the states EAehest town. Senator Perry, who was with the democratic leader, spoke with the feeling of a man who had been sorely wounded. Scarcely raising his voice above conversational tone, he told why he could not support Mir. Rungee. Senators leaned forward in their eagerness to hear; their cigars went unsmoked; for moments there was scarcely a sound to disturb Sena- tor Perry as he told of the hard word the backbiting and the sneers which had been given behind his back by men whom he said did not dare to come out into the open and speak what they knew to be false. Other senators spoke for and against Mr. Rungee, which relieved the tension those who were against directing their attention entirely to conditions which it was claimed have existed and still exist in Greenwich.
 Declares Court AbomnabIe
 When the resolution was taken up Senator McDOnough asked for imme- diate action. He said this courtship contest was the most disagreeable matter that had come before the as sembly. At the hearing trainIoads ol people had come up, representing classes of citizens and political op1rs- ions. It was shown that the court was "abominable."
 Senator Perry said that if he had known the G1 eenwich matter was to have come into the assembly as it has the district could have sent another man. Said the senator: f'I have served the state as well as l could for man v years, but in spite of this I am being called a liar and a turncoat behind my back. I told the committee I would not vote for MT. Burnes and I said in MT Rungees' hearing I would not vote for him. I do not believe in appoint ing a member of the committee with out a hearing. I told MT. Rungee my reasons for being against him. l told them to him frankly that the Green wich court has a reputation which it ought to lose: that he was too good a man to be connected with 1t.
 Perry Would Not Support Rungee.
 'T told him that if I were the best friend he had I would want to lock him up until this thing passed by l told him he could not make the Greenwich court what 1t ought to be. I left the e0@un1ttee thinking the matter unset
