HOUSE FACES LONG NIGHT SESSION ON
 EVE OF LAST DAY
New Haven May Manufac- ture Ice Under Bill Signed
 By Governor

Hartford, June 3-Governor Baldwin has signed the amendment to the New Haven city court charter, the bill to permit New Haven to make and sell artificial ice, and the New Haven city plan commission bill.
 The Senate opened, today, by accept ing the report of the conference com Infttee on the 55 hour bill for wom- en and minors in industrial plants, made possible by the enactment of this law. The Senate previously had adopted an amendment which permit ted employers to have an eleven hour day for five days a week, this being in behalf of the Saturday half ho1i- day. The conference committee re- ported favorably the rejection of this amendment and this was done. The House will now agree to the other Senate amendment which provides that, minors may be employed in mer- cantile establishments on Saturday evenings. The 11th hour amendment was rejected 19 to 8. The bill was adopted by the Senate without divis- ion and it is probable that during the day the House will concur. Senator Peck offered a resolution to pay doorkeepers of the Senate $15O for special services, explaining that the intent was to make the compen- sation of the doorkeepers equal 10 that of the messengers. Snator Mo Donough protested against the pay ment of this extra money as a. grat- uity. Senator Perry was against the resolution but Senator Peck declared that the .doorkeepers were entitled to the sum and it was time it was given them if the Senate thought they had rendered the service. Senator Johrl- son of Hartford looked upon the pay ment for special services as a gratuity. So did Senator Stevens, who asked for roll call. Senator Peck declared that at a conference in New Haven, before the Senate was organized, it was decided that doorkeepers should be paid as much as the messengers. Senator Neebe recalled the same de- cision.
 The Senate voted 21 to against paying out this extra money. Those voting for it were: Senators Purcell, Froh1ich, Neebe, McGrath, Hurley, Peck and Welch. Those voting against it were: Johnson of Hartford : Hooker; Cheney; Stevens; Landers; Colton; Isbel1; Quinn, Kelsey, McDon- ough, Mccarthy, Miner. F. A. Johnson. l McNeil, Whitcomb, Perry, Weed, Reach, Wadhams, Gaylord and c. H. Johnson.
 When the general banking bill came in from the House with the 'Healy amendment. providing that any group of men who had the capital might in- corporate as a bank and trust com pany under the law, Senator Weed suggested that rather than risk de- feat the Senate should accept this i amendment which was done. The bill was then adopted in concurrence. The House faced a calendar of 80 measures when it gathered, today. It was evident that night session would be needed to get the work done and this fact was emphasized when Speak CT Webster declared that if the mem bers of the House had any regard for their oath of office or for their con- stftuents or any obligation to the State or themselves, they would see that a quorum was kept in the chamber all day and all night if necessary. His remarks were greeted with applause.
 A favorable report was made on the resolution appr opriating $1,000 for the ce1ebra ton of the one hundred anni- versary of the Battle of Stonington on August S. g and 10th, 1914, providing some person shall contribute like amount for the same purpose. The resolution was adopted under euspen- sion of the rules

 Then came the resolution appointing William c. Rungee judge at Green wich. MT. Wilson offered an amend ment striking out the name of Run
 
 D. Tierney. The amendment was ru1- ed out of order. MT. Hea1y said that the court took more time than any other court contest in the State. He said the judiciary committee had heard all the evidence and had voted to sup port Rungee-
 The Senate arranged to have a. din- ner at the Hartford Club, tonight, when gifts to Lieut. Gov. Tingier, the president pro-tern, the chaplain and others are to be distributed. The Senate was so far ahead of the House that it had time to go out on the Capitol steps and have it's picture taken.
 In the House, headway was made very slowly For the sixth time that body moved through it's calendar to the Greenwich judgeship resolution. Action on this matter had been side- stepped five times but there was. no escaping it, today, ans after a debate in which conditions in Greenwich were mildly explained, the resolution ap- pointing w W. Rungee to succeed Judge Burns was adopted by a large majority Tine House, after some de- bate on the divided report upon the bill providing for tax Of 10 mills upon the value of automobiles, reject ed it 98 to 72.
 Gov. Baldwin is close up to the en- crossing clerk in signing the meas ures and the only delay now IS with the printer in supplying copies of the bills which have passed both branches. The fate of the appropriation bill for the highway department was the cause of considerable worry, today, owing to disagreeing action between the two bodies over the five million dollar good roads bill
