ATTORNEY CRAY
URGES ADOPTION
OF KINGS BILLS
Amendments to Criminal Laws
Suggested Before Judi
ciary Committee

Hartford, Feb. 1.-THE Judiciary
committee continued it's hearings yes
terday. Attorney J. P. Gray Of
Bridgeport appeared for several bills
introduced by Representative Clitus
H. King of Fairfield amending the
criminal law of the state and the one
first taken up provided a maximum
penalty of a fine of 81, 600 and three
years in prison for carrying conceal
ed weapons. Mr.. Gray called atten-
ton to the fact that the practice is
growing and is a bad one and he said
that the present law is Inadequate A
second bill provided maxiIr1u urn fine
of $500 for throwing vitriol, carbolic
acid or other like substances at an
other with intent TO disfgure.
Regarding this Mr.. Gray said that
the existing law is inadequate as 1t
provides no penalty in case the per-
son at whom the vitriol is trown is
actually burned or disfgured by it;
he argued that the attempt ought to
be considered as something more
serious than simple assault.
The third of the bills in which Mr..
Gray and Mr.. King were interested
amends an existing statute which pro-
vides a severe penalty for any one
who shall cut the nose or lips of an
other. His bill substitutes the words
head face or neck and he said that
recent cases in Bridgeport had shown
the need Of the change because Jealous
or Indignant Italians who had SlaShed
the cheeks of young women could only
be charged with simple assault

accord with popular beliefs It Is
found that trees are the objects most
often struck because they are the most
numerous of all prominent objects,
they offer a short course to the ground,
and their spreading branches in the
air and roots in the soil present an
ideal conductor to the ground. Any
kind of tree may be chosen by the
lightning, the greatest number in any
locality being found among the domi-
nant species. The likelihood of any
tree being struck is increased If it is
taller than surrounding trees, is isolat-
ed, is on high land, is deeply rooted
and If its condition-as when wet
makes it the best electrical conductor
of the vicinity at the time of the fash.
Lightning may set forest fire by ig-
hitting the tree or-what is much more
likely to be the case-the humus about
