SENATE ADOPTS NEW
 CIVIL SERVICE BILL
(Continued from First Page.)

Brinckerhoff deputy judge at Stam- ford and George E. Hall, judge at New Haven,/ were adopted and the senate adjourned.
 Some time before this it had been reported among house members that the Isbell bill had been adopted and was on it's way to the house. The house had disposed of it's business and MT. Hyde Of Manchester, under the impression that the civil service bill had been received moved that it be rna6e the order of the day for Thurs day The speaker informed MT. Hyde that the bill was not in pos session of the house. A litter ran among the seats which finally brought loud laughter from the democratic side. MT. Hyde then moved a re- cess which was carried before MT. Devine had an opportunity to ad- dress the speaker, evidently OH the same matter.
 JldEcship Resolutions Adopted.
 When the house re-assembled it adopted in concurrence resolutions ap pointing Willis l. Tenn, deputy judge at Meriden, Frank $. Fay, judge at Meridcn, and Frank H. Frost, deputy judge at Naugatuck to fill a vacancy It then adjourned.
 Meanwhile it had been ascertained that the senate had not acted on the civil service bill. The taking up of this bill for discussion had been de- layeG by an argument on a resolu- tion appointing Frank s. Fay, judge at Meriden to fill vacancy. When Senator Isbell made the report he aroused Senator Rree, who spoke in favor of the present incumbent, Judge King, declaring that not until Judge King was appointed did NIeriden have q clean administration. He said that tho whole trouble was that they, the republicans, are opposed to Mr. Dan aher as prosecuting attorney, and that the republican leaders wero af- ter MT. Danaher for his able work and had declared that "he must go.' Continuing Senator Bree said: Now is the time for tho senate to show that 1t is non- partisan in regard to its courts"
 Purely Political Reasons.
 Senator Heineman rose to the de- fense of Meriden and went back to the administration of Thomas L. Reilly as mayor to recount incidents, which were exactly similar to those charged by Senator Bree. Moreover, he said, there is not a citizen in Mer- iden who can say that Judge Fay did not make an enviable record on the bench and when he was rem owed two years ago it was purely political req sons.
 The senate adopted the resolution and sent it to the house.
