that the inside of a house was a mighty

"Brewster's Millions" which has been
in Washington several times before, is
just as fresh and mirth provoking as
ever. while Paul McAllister, in the role

is forced to spend $1,000 900 before he
can inherit 5000, 900 from his uncle, was
indeed happily cast. Prancing around

LEGISLATION AIMED
 AT STATE ATTORNEYS Major HadIai A. Hull Among Those at Whom Blow is Intended

It is seriously proposed to prohibit four state attorneys of the state from practicing law before Juries in civil causes in this state. says the New Haven Times Leader.
 Certain members of the Judiciary committee are asking the general as sembly to pass a law which places no restriction upon state attorneys who receive $2,99999 per year for the pub . lie work and characterizes as danger ous to public welfare the state attor- ney who Is paid one cent more a year for his public service. Here is a state ment of the situation and it's ramifica . tions;
 At the beginning of the present leg islature a bill was introduced provid- ing that the state attorneys should be prohibited from practice before juries ties. This pill was referred to the ju- dietary committee and a hearing held at which hearing arguments were heard on the proposition.
 For some time thereafter, indeed, until yesterday, this bill was apparent ly forgotten. But yesterday it issued forth from the committee in a changed form.
 A divided report of the Judiciary committee made on this bill provides that it shall apply to state attorneys receiving $3,000 or more per year.
 In practical effect this bill excludes from practice before juries In civil cases four out of the ten state attor- neys in Connecticut. to wit. Hadlai A. Hull of New London. Hugh M. Alcorn of Hartford, Arnon filling of New Haven and Stiles Judson of Fairfield.
 Upon this bill in its reported form no public hearing was ever had nor was any notice given to the bench, ba, or taxpayers that any such outrageous legislation against a portion of a class of public servants was contemplated.
 The supporters of the original bill tice argued that the peculiar eclat and prestige of lawyers in that position gave their connection with a civil case such undue weight as to prejudice the rights of opposing parties and the suc- cess of opposing attorneys.

TRYING TO DUST
 SENATOR BRANDEGEE
Said to be Plan of Former Congress
 man E. J. Hill.

| F. J. Hill, who had served as con- gressman from the Fourth district for IS years, and was beaten in the last election by the present congress- man, Jeremiah Donovan, is foremost among those mentioned in connec- tion with the United States senator ship to succeed the present incum- bent. Frank B. Brandegee of New Loodon says the New Canaan Adver- tiser. Hill has already begun his campaign in his usual vigorous man ner, He has been making speeches through the state for month and his particular aim Is to get the support of the manufacture of the state. It is said that he has the backing of the manufacturers and his persistent ef- forts at all times to look out for the interests of Connecticut manufactur- CTS, he does stand well with them and they would be ungrateful if they did not feel at least kindly toward him. Recently Hill has been in Eastern Connecticut making speeches This is Brandegee's home territory and the inference is that Hill is trying to make inroads in Brandegee's bailiwick- Brandegee needs to begin at once to built up his machine for MT. Hill is a good deal of afighter and his back inv will be strong. Naturally, for the senatorial candidate there is going to be two fights. The first will be the
  the fight for the election
 Tho combination back of Hill will be the old republican machine, Rora- back, Clark, ct al The machine that is backing him has always been power in the control of republican state conventions.
 States Attorney Stiles Judson is al so a candidate. The United States senate is the one elective office which has ever had any charms for Judson- It is rather interesting to note right here in the past Juds0n has always been with Brandegee and at the time when Brandegee was up for election before Judson was asked if he would be a candidate and he said not against his friend Brandegee- Just why this friendship does not hold good now is a question. Perhaps Judson thinks that Brandegee is too closely allied with the republican machine which Judson hates like the devil hates holy water. It is difficult to see where for neither faction of the republican Judson hopes to win the nomination, party will support him in the republi- can convention for the nomination. Had the direct primary bill been en- acted into a law whereby the United States senators would have been nom mated by a direct primary, Judson would have stood a good chance of winning the nomination. He is un- occasionally strong with the people. Many of his acts of late have been construed by observing politicians to have been made for the purpose of curing favor with the general pub lie. But now. since the United States senators will be nominated by the convention, Judson would seem to be already eliminated, as dangerous proposition. Still he is always likely to make trouble in a convention as he did in the last state convention. PAGE Il
