DEMOCRATS IN ASSEMBLY
 WITHOUT A LEADER
Caucus Choice. Jesse Devine of Wa terbury, Failed to Make Judiciary Committee, and Has Not Assumed Duties as Floor Leader.
(speeial to The RuIIe

Especial to The BulIetin1
 Hartford, Feb. 10.--Perhaps for the
 first time within the memory of man
 inc Connecticut general assembly has
 g. leaderless democracy, that is almost
 leaderless, for at the opening of the
 session a young lawyer, Representative
 Jesse DeviEe. of Waterbury, was elect
 ed democratic leader in a spirited catu-
 GUS, when he bUcked up against sea
 soned democratic legislators of the
 Taylor of DaDbury and Stoddard of
 Milford type. Usually the selection of
 party leader. even in the minority, car
 ries with 1t membership in the judi
 ciary committee. the speaker recoE-
 the makeup If that committee.
 Speaker Ignores Democratic Caucus.
 But in this particular case the dem ocratic plan miscarried. Speaker Healy had served in the bruSe with AIessrS Taylor and Stoddard and named both these democrats for the judiciary com mittee, thereby ignoring the demo- cratic caucus action and the claim of Jesse DeVine for the usual recognition Speaker Healy knew of the legislative qualifications and experience of Taylor and Stoddard, but to him Devine was an unknown quantity and ineXperi- enced in legislative work. Just be- the speaker resolved that he would not follow suit.
 Devine Evidently Feels Cut. MT. Devine evidently feels the keen cut of the speaker, and in consequence has not assumed his duties as floor leader in the democratic party. as it IS bereft of honor as it has no judi ciary committee connection. AIessrs. Taylor and Stoddard being true dem- ocrats and smarting' under the caucus snuD are reluctant about assuming duties that the party in S2ucuS as isigned to Mir. Devine.
 No Democrat Has Assumed Leader ship.
 Therefore, the party is leaderIess. and there have been only two peeps on the democratic side of the house thus far during the present session of the general assembly. One little peep was made by Joe Huntington of Lyme, who wanted the members to know l that he, as a member of the finance committee, had not been consulted in 1 regard to the proposition to engage an l expert in taxation to aid the commit ] tee in devisinE ways and means to in l crease the revenue of the state. The 1 other peep was when Clifford Stod- dard, of Milford, said a few words con l as goes action in the house. none has 1 all due to lack of leadership.
 To be sure the democrats are in a ] hopeless minority, but it would be re- 1 freshing even to the republicans to 1 hear a few words from the democrats | now and then. even if they were of no l force in shaping the course of the l ship of state.

 ward Caron, IA, Committed to Reform
 School.
 Wilfred B'anchette, 16. and Edward

 Judge James N. Tucker ordered Caron, because of his age, committed to the Sstate School for Boys at Meriden and Blanchette held for trial at the March
 term of the superior court The boys bond, fixed at $500, was not forthcon- ing, so he was taken to jail at Brook lyn. Caron will go to Meriden in charge of an officer this morning. The burglaries charged in the in- formation to which the boys pleaded
 guilty were those at Fournier's market, where an attempt was made to open the safe, at Chasson's market in the Keystone block and at CavanagE's store in D3EVille. Prosecuting Attor- T y Arthur c. Bill said in court that other counts Of q similar nature could 1 be put against the boys, neither of whom hesitated about saying guilty. pleas that were accepted by their guardians ad litim, relatives who hap pened to be in court.
 Caron attempted to place the re- spcnsibiIity for his predicament upon Blanchette, saving the latter had in- duced him to get into the breaking and entering business and that the first of 1 the series of breaks that the arrests
 of the boys cleared up were committed solely by Blanchette. The court did not accept all the Caron boy said al | 100 per cent value, however, though giving due credit to his statement as 1 to how he became entangled in the af- 1 fair.
 i Young Caron told the court some thing of how the boys operated anl mentioned that BIanchette had d re- l volver, Q. circumstance to which Caror says he objected. fearing that Bian- chette might kill Night Officer Johr Gordon. The revolver was found al

On Wednesday little Antoinette Gaduc, aged 1, slid off the high wall near her home in the Little Flats, fell into the Shetucket river, dying after being taken out. The little girl with several 0-hers, had been sliding for some time down a little incline near the clubhouse. She must have lost control of the sled and plunged over the wall, which is about 15 feet high, into tEe river. which was at that time flowing with swift curTaAt- The marks made by the sled runners can be plain Iy traced to the brink of the wall, and the sled can be seen under the water. before the other children could sum mon help the child had drifted down as far as the bridge over the river at d point about 2U0 feet below.
 Joseph AllaTd, who was passing, saw the child in the water. went in after her, and took her to her home. She was still alive, but in spite of every effort made to resuscitate her she died in a few minutes. The parents are eart-brOken, as the child was excep- tionally bright and cheerful, a faYorite with all who knew her. She is sur vived by her parents, MT. and Mrs. AHtOine Ciadue. and a sister.
