 Hartford, Jan. 7.-Copies of the pre- Isminary manual of the General As senbiy, compiled biennially by the 4secretarys oflce, were distributed at the capitol yesterday. In addition to the summary of rules and procedure for both houses, the manual gives some interesting information as to the makeup of the present Legisla- ture.
 The Senate numbers 13 lawyers among it's membership, eight business men, four farmers and four manufac- turers. There is one banker Senator Wadhanns, of Goshen; one physician. Senator Thomas e. Alcorn, of Fho1n- sonvflIe and one factory foreman, Sem ator Charles J. Heineman, of Meriden. Seven of the senators are single, one is a widower, and the remainder are married.
 The oldest senator is Dwight ". Futile, of ESast Haven, who is 68. The youngest is Henry H. Lyman, of Mfd- fdlef1eld, who is but 26 years old.
 In the House, there are S3 farmers and 2A lawyers. The occupa tions of the other members are widely diversi- fled, including couple of school teachers, two clergymen, three mall carriers landscape gardener, a vet erinarian, a summer hotel proprietor,

This is one of. the jniciest of the plurns and there are several aspirants for the job. But MT Cohen who is a good Democrat, didn't seem busy packing up his things today, and to all outward ap- pearancess seemed satisfied that his business address will be Capitol Hill for sometime to come MT. Cohen wouldn't say what the prospects of holding onto the job are, but he has fntimated to friends that he believes the civil service law covers his office. Thomas B. Myers of Col1insvi11e, is chief clerk in the lsecretary's office is First Assistant. Both are holding down jobs that Republicans confi- dently expected would be theirs be- fore this, and both seem to think they'll be in the neighborhood of the capitol for some little time yet.

Augusta, Me, Jan. 7:-Governor Oakley c. Curtis today devoted much Of his address to the question of good roads. After referring to the effect upon the roads of automobiles, he continued:
 Trunk highways are constructed principally for public convenience, to facilitate traffic of all descriptions and to reduce costs. The maintenance is the most serious proposition. With the 25, 1000 miles of road in this state, it is questionable whether it can con struct more than well drained, gravel roads and even these only on the principal highways.''

 Likewise Edward Collins, who spent several weeks in the Bridgeport jail, has been eliminated from the list of suspects.
 That the plaster casts will play an important part in the solution of the mystery, seems probable from the fact that officers are extremely reticent in discussing them.

Spau1ding. before the legislature to- day, occupying but 20 minutes in it's delivery, was the shortest ever given on such an occasion in this state. Tt was devoted almost entirely, to sug- gestions for improving the business administration of the affairs of the state.
 Governor spauIding declared that the limit which should be put on state expenditures, had been reached.
 For that reason he expressed his opposition to the authorization of any more state roads at present.
 The governor declared that the present method of attempting to tax intangIbles was 8 failure and unjust in it's workings. He recommended that all 1ntangtb1es be exempt from taxation but that the revenue from all forms of intan8Eb1es, including stock. be taxed at the general rate of taxation on other property.
 Upon the subject of present exepn- ditures, Governor Spaulding said:
