HOUSE REJECTS BILL TO RESTRICT AUTOS

Hartford. March 19-By a vote of S2 to 69 the House today declined to pass the bill introduced by Representative Thoms of Waterbury, emocratic lead CT, which would provide a maximum limit for automobiles at 30 miles per hour in the country and 12 miles per hour in the city. MT. Thoms showed in a strong speech that in 1911 there, had been 28 deaths by automobiles in Connecticut, and in 1912 the number was 59, an increase of over 100 per cent. Of the 59. 38 were pedestrians, and about 75 per cent of these were old people or children unable to pro- tect themselves on the highways.
 Rep Wilson of Bridgeport made speech supporting MT. Thoms' bill
 Representative Kirchberger, of Nor ris, said he was one of the trio ac- cused as afraid to appear before the committee roads, rivers and bridges, when the matter came up for a hearing. He defied the Connecticut Automobile Association or Charles M Robinson to show that he was ever afraid to show his co1ors. He declar- ed there were drivers of automobiles who cared not for the law, God or the devil and some of them ought to be driving shoenails at Wethersfeld. Representative Wilson favored the bill as an automobile owner.
 Representative Magee opposed the bill and MT. Hall, of Wilmington, thought that the drunken chauffeur law Of New York ought to be on the Connecticut books. This provides a penalty for a chauffeur who drives any machine while drunk.
 MT. Lockwood, of Stamford, was against a. motion to recommit and MT. King of Fairfield said that Connec- ticut has already a, drunken chauf- feur act and he read it. He said it was almost impossible to convict a man of running an automobile at a certain speed but he could be convict ed of running a machine reck1ess1y.
 By this time the empty space in the House was filling up with the suffragists but the chair refused to recognize motion for the previous question.
 MT. Kelly, of Windham, spoke against the bill and MT. Hall, of New Milford, favored it. The committees favorable report was accepted and the bill rejected.

CANADA IN THE BALANCE

That this is not the only country in which the power and attraction of money is able to influence the oper ation of law and justice is evidenced in the present gathering of legal talent from two countries in Coaticook, Que. The aIluring Thaw fortune appears to have as great possibilities on one side of the line as the other. Its pos abilities are known here. It has been attended with preliminary success in Canada, but on the vital point in ques- tion now, 1t remains to be determined whether bevy of attorneys will be able to sway the course of justice in the dominion.
 The New York Times properly says: That Thaw, once inside the walls of Matteawan, should never in all his life have seen again the outside of those walls is of course, the conviction of every sensible person in New York. It is the hope of every such person that he will speedily be shut up again in Matteawan and kept there But mean while he is carrying on a publicity campaign to gain sympathy for him self in Canada, and men who appear to be of good standing there, men not usually in sympathy with criminals and maniacs, are aiding and abetting his purpose"
 It is simply another instance of money throwing a cloak of protection around the rich criminal, or the par anoiac, for the purpose of outwitting the law and making justice a joke. Canada is now in the balance.

JOHN HAS A GARDEN.

John Is a very intense man. said ] the woman who had just ordered tea Whatever he does CT buys or thinks
 is the ultimate limit of that partieulai | thing. When hs wanted to have a l flower garden forgot his pecuHarities
 and so I neglected to head him off II seemed to me then that growing green stuff was harmless form of an1use- ment ai l would give me lots of time l to take my mind off from worrying about John.
 He nearly had brain fever through trying to plant an acre of things in a space thirty by fifty feet. Having room for ten peony plants. he bought twenty. When the thirty larkspur plants arrived he found thatt he had all through the garden.
 However, these that I have ment- toned were only minor annoy yances
 What I am getting at Is the positive revolution of our manner of living that followed his discovery that the scheme of nature included insects. At least we started out by calling them insects, but we ended by using the briefer and much more emphatic term. bugs.
 Johns garden had reached the pro- missing stage where there were tiny, hard little buds onS everything and he was terribly excited. imagining what it was going to look like presently and was pluming himself on the result of his toll when he happened to invesd- gate fuchsia bud that had withered unaccountably.
 "Ill never forget the slight of my husband in that awful instant,
 First he shot right up in the air about ten feet, then he waved his arms and checked and inmedia tely beat his chest and howled for me. Believe me, ran. It is a terrible thing to be married to a man for several years and then discover that he is a victum of spasms. But such was my exper1- ence.
 'John!. I grasped as soon as I could speak. Where is the pafn?'
 .Pain. John believed. It was a spiderl I smashed him! A measly, little gray spider, Milieent, has eaten off the stem of that perfectly good fuchsia bud! And it would have bloomed to-morrowl' John was start ing at the blasted bud in his hand. Look outl' he yelled as I topped over against the fence in my relief. You'll break those lilies
 Then John did another war dance. He had discovered two devouring in sects on his lilies He killed them with a murderous rage and the petted those lilies scandalously.-~ff If he had rescued his child from man eating tiger he couldn't have gone on worse.
 From that time on he became prowler. He was up at dawn chasing gray spiders, black spiders and pink spiders not to mention furry cater pillars, lady bugs and smooth cater pillars and cut worms and beetles. Oh, I know all about them because he had to have some one to tell his sorrows to and what is a perfectly good wife for but to unlead troubles upon?
 q would be sinking back into sium- Der when sudden1-= I would wake up with a shriek and find John dangling just above my nose something that wriggled. Look, Milicent,' he would say. What do you suppose this kind
