 The Austrian advance at Ciezkow- ice, in the Carpathians, although checked is deemed to be higly sym ptomatic. Ciezk owice is situated on the Donajec near Gorlice, and Tarnow, on the reads from Tymbark ito Cracow and the enemy's movements here are of no less importance than at Stry and other sections of our, front. The Austrians have concentrated very considerable and entirely fresh endorsements from the interior Their advance was facilitated by the open character of the terrain, which is admirably adapted to fighting. The enemy set himself the task not only of dislodging us from the line of the Donajec but of influencing our posi- tion on tho lower Nida"

EX-CONG. ROBSON
 SPEAKS IN HOUSE
Refers to Great Unlty Existing
 BetWcea Nuth and South.

Hartford, May "A visitor to the house today was former Congressman Richmond Pearson Hobson, who is touring the state in the interest of the prohibitory movement. He was invited to speak during a short re- cess by Representative Back of Kill Iingly, the presiding officer, in the absence of Speaker Healey. MT. Hobson with much feeling referred to his emotions as he passed under the Memorial arch in the capitol grounds when he realized that the men whose names were inscribed thereon fought against the men of the south. he himself being the son of a Confederate soldier. He spoke of the great spirit of unity now ex- isting between the north and the south, and the loyalty which will be shown by the men of both sections, should the nation again require their services. MT. Hobson spoke briefly upon his congressional career and the lessons he had learned, which, sem- phasized the sovereignty of the states and the powers they have to control congress, should the occasion arise. He believed that the time has come for the nation to get back to the position and attitude of the fore fathers on organic questions. lie said the success of system or sell government like ours depends, upon perpetuation of a high average stano- ard of character behind the vote. If the average of character sags the liberty of the nation is imperilled. Mr. Hobson closed with references to the question of prohibition.
 Revised Charter for Stamford.
 The cities and boroughs committee reported revised charter for the city of Stamford. The judiciary commit tee reported an amendment to the law creating county sealers of weights and measures providing that compen- sation shall be fixed in county meet ings by members of the county dele- gation.
 The house in concurrence rejected the bill which would have permitted the licensing of moving picture exhi- bitions on Sunday evenngs. Con- siderable debate accompanied this action.
 Aubrey the Goat"
 MT. Aubrey of the judiciary com- mittee said he was the "goat" who had been selected to explain the measure. He preferred that MT. King Of Fairfield, who signed the minority report should first state his objec- tions. MT. King argued that there was no demand for this legislation. The bill was in the interests of theater managers and others who wished to make money on Sunday. He could see no consistency in a plea for liberty through recreation under Gods clear sky and in pure air, and the other plea for exhibition in badly ventilated theaters. He said all religious in- terests were firmly against opening theaters on Sunday.
 Among others who spoke against the bill were MT. Norton or Saybrook. MT. Shaw of Bedding, MT. Emerson of Roxbury, Mr. Isbell of Ansonia and MT. Rogers of Litchf1eld. No one spoke in favor. MT. Hyde moved the previous question asking for decent interment of the matter. Mir. Aubrey declined to close for the committee and the bill was rejected.
