 Key to Situation.
 Petrograd, Russia, March p, 11:30 a. m., via London, 1 40 D. m.-The fortress of Ossowetz, where the Ger man bombardment continues, remains today the key to the situation on the German front. according to the best opinion of Russian observers. Both to the north and to the south of this point, in the Augustowo and the Omoleff regions, respectively the Ger mans are developing lively attacks to prevent the Russians from encircling the Ossowetz fortress or from occupy ing the town of Szczuczyn. This loca- tion is directly behind Ossowetz on the east Prussian frontier, and its oc- cupation by the Russians would ob- viously compel the Germans to aban- don the siege.

 Today, Detective Bamforth, in re- marking about the case, said he felt very thankful 01at nobody had been killed in connection with this case. He referred, it Is believed to the fact that in this city two local sleuths are said to have met Krakas on the street and talked to him, at the time being in 1 ignorance that he was the murderer.

 Prohibit Fortune Telling.
 The house passed the bill which prohibits the advertising of fortune telling, clairvoyancy or kindred arts, having amended it however, so that it excludes palmists. When the bill was reached on the calendar. MT. Martin of Orange asked that it go over, as he wished to debate it, being of the opinion that it would return to the statutes many of the old features of the law on withcraft. which were done away with a hundred years ago. Mr. Hyde, the majority leader, object ed to postponement, especially as to- morrow being Friday, a quorum was not assured.
 MT. Martins motion to postpone was lost and debate was opened during which MT. Martin pointed out that 1t was ridiculous to claim that the read ing of palms was a misdemeanor. MT. Fenn of Wethersfield declared that there were many terms in the bill that the judiciary committee itself could not explain. This led the speaker to ask MT. Hyde to explain to the house what was meant by the term spirits
 MT. Hyde replied that last night he could have given better definition. A hearty laugh followed this and it was revealed that a number of mem bers of the legislature were guests at dinner party last night. MT. Back of Killingly said that MT. Martin was trying to throw dust in the eyes of the members. a-n4
 The bill was not intended to stop palm reading, but was intended to meet an evil which has been cloaked by advertisements in papers. It had be- come practice in some places for keepers of houses of ill repute to ad- vertise these as card parlors or places for seances Massachusetts had leg islated against the evil and he believed Connecticut should do the same. Af- ter further debate MT. Martins amend ment excluding palmists from the bill was adopted and the bill as amended passed. ..s ,....
 The senate received a favorable re- port providing that no more than three executive officers or any savings bank shall be officer of any one bank of discount or circulation, and no treas urer or any savings bank having de- posits of over $5O0,O00 shall be cashier of any bank of discount or circula- ton. Unfavorable reports were made on bills increasing the fine for violat- ing the provisions of the autom obile registration law, and authorizing the commissioners of rivers, harbors and bridges to make payment from their appropriation for certain highway changes in New London, forming an approach to the steamship terminals.

the value of eight crops In Colorado
this year as $4i.3G3.S00. The crops in.

Of grains and decrease Of 19S.000

prevailing prices on Dec. were gen.
