Hall of Wilmington asked if the reso- lution, should it pass the house, would leach the president The speaker said he did not see how it could get farther than the house as the senase had for nally notified the house that it was ready for the joint convention in order to be adjourned.
 House Fails to Act.
 MT. Taylor of Danbury said that the house members ought to be will ing to go on record as supporting the president in his time of trial: that the wording of the measure was per fectly correct, and even if it did say something about what the pesident night do in the future the American people were free to pass opinion on that future policy.

HOUSE DECLINES TO SUPPORT WILSON Senate Passes Modified Resolution
 Expressing Confidence i0 President.

Hartford, May 19.-To the legisla- tive history of Connecticut was added the record of the general assembly of 1915. which was adjourned yesterday by Governor Marcus H. Hofcomb. The last act of the senate, practically, was tho adoption of a resolution of confi- dence in President Wilson which read 1 as follows:
 Resolved by the senate:
 .."The senate. realizing fully the gFEat responsibility. confronting the k kpfesident. and lamenting the. loss of |s.American lives caused by the destruc- ltion of the Lusitania, desires to as- sure him that the people of Connec- ticut, without regard to political af- fiiation. stand as unit in the belief that the course he has pursued in safeguarding the dignity and honor of tho United States of America has been for the best and most unseitish in- terest of humanity at large.'
 Objection to Future. This was a senate resolution and was offered after indefinite pos .rone- ment Of a joint resolution offered Hartford, a democrat, which was wtrded a little differently and p:,uged confidence in the president in 'any course he might pursue in the future to uphold the dignity and honor of the United States, To the wording of the Purcell resolution the commit tee on federal relations objected. It did not draw substitute, but recon1- mended indefinite postponement. Sem ator Purcell criticised the chairman of the committee, Senator Comley. jr, in asking that the report be not accepted, and the resolution passed in spite of an unfavorable report. Senator Isbell, as republican leader, defended the committee and it's re- port, and charged Senator Purcell with playing "picayune politics. in bringing the joint resolution into the senate in the manner in which he did, adding that, in his opinion, the sena- tor had an ulterior motive in not first conflding the substance of the resolu- tion to his colleagues.
 Debate Full of Bitterness.
 Senator Purcell made a rejoinder and for time the debate was full of bitterness such as had not been heard during the session. In the end the joint resolution was indehnitly post

poned, and Senator Purcell who had been told by the objecting senators that they did not yield to anyone in their respect for the president, their feeling of patriotism, or their belief that the president has upheld the dig nifty and honor of the American na- tion, and had ascertained that the main objection to the resolution was the pledge of confidence in what the president might do at some future time, drew a senate resolution based upon the one which had been rejected, and offered it. This was accepted.
 Perry Balks on Future, Too.
 Meantime, the joint resolution had gone to the house where Mir. Perry of New Haven. chairman of the federal relations committee, stated that the committee had decided that it could not recommend the resolution. Per sonally he could not endorse the way in which it was introduced. He yielded to no one in his respect for the president, but felt that the general assembly had no right to pledge it's confidence in what might be done by any man at some indefinite period in the future.
 Deviie Favors Reso.ution.
 Mr. Devine of Waterbury, the demo- cratic leader, moved that the report be passed, the committee report not withstanding. MT. Devine made short speech, and his longest of the session in support of the resolution. MT. Hyde, the republican leader, pointed out that passage would be Of no benefit as there would be dis agreeing action, and he asked for in- definite postponement. MT. Bowers of Manchester, inquired If the senate resolution was in the house and the speaker said it would not come down as 1t was senate matter purely. MT.

States formerly dedicated Wednes =
day the Panama Pacific international
exposition.
Standing beneath the great arch OF
the tower of jewels. the vice presi-
dent addressed a vast concourse of
people who crowded the court of the
universe.
Mr.. Marshall spoke with solemnity
and was constantly halted by ap-
plause. Especially was this the case
when, referring to the Panama canal
he voiced regret that this altruistic
work has a real or seeming defect in
the charge of an injustice done a sis
ter republic of the south"
Let us not be too much dismayed
at this day by reason of that fact"
he said. "The American people are
wise and they know he is not wise
who is not just"

Petrograd, March 25.-Already the
Russians have begun to burst the
southern barriers, where they have
| been on the defensive across rne Car
| pathans, passes since December
when the Germans launched their
| great scheme to help the Austrians
and outflank the Russian left from
| Hungary.
The column which was defeated in
the last Austro-German effort from
the sources of the San, advanced to
attempt the relief of Przemysl and
again attacked with tremendous ener-
| gy. After seventeen charges the
Russians drove their enemy west
ward and themselves waded neck
| deep through the swift current of the
San, flooded by the mountain SHOWS
This initiative now extends west
ward farther east broke the position
at the sources of the Stryl, near Ko-
ziomoka, which was held by the Ger
mans, killing the last man holding
the. rocky shelters.
Officers who watched the last mo-
ments of Przemysl, when, after the
charge Of the battalion which cap
tured the inner forts, great clouds of
| dusty smoke arose from the eXplos-
t1vhf hn
! tempted to destroy the remaining
defenses, saw white sheet rigged
! from the highest factory chimney in
the town and white flags flying from
telegraph poles. They found that the
Notifications under the debris can be
easily repaired
Russian armies, doubtless inspired
by the victory at Przemysl. are pres
sing the fighting both in Northern Po-
land and the Carpathians, where Ger
mans and Austrians are giving des-
perate battle to stay the attempted
advance of the Muscovites.
Probably the struggle in the Car
pathians will prove to be the one
that presently will attract the most
attention, for even Vienna reports
that strong Russian forces are now
attacking with great violence along
the front extending for some miles
from Uzsok Pass and the firece fight
ing is taking place of the possession
of the heights which dominate the
important outlets from the north into
Hungary.

PEAS
Or PEANUTS
WITH CORN
SUCH is THE ADVICE GIVEN BY
FARM DEMONSTRATION AGENT.
INCREASE THE YIELD OF CORN
AND RAISE TWO CROPS.

r. L. Scott, farm demonstration
agent for this county is urging the
farmers to plant their corn in six
10 seven-foot rows and between plant
peas or peanuts. Last year the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
had 100 farmers experimenting on
this system in the cotton states and
the report shows that the yield of
corn per acre was increased two bu-
shells TO the acre besides having an
other valuable crop off the same
acreage. Mr.. Scott says that several
farmers in this county have promised
to follow this plan this year and he
is confident of the success of the
method. F. F. Ferguson, district
agent of this district was in the city
today and together with Mr.. Scott
visited Love county to inspect the
work OF Agent Graham there.

LOCK DOORS

TROUBLE
POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE TO
CALL SOME MERCHANT OF THE
CITY NEARLY EVERY NIGHT TO
COME AND BOLT DOORS.

The police department has been
having strenuous time recently
calling merchants from their fireside
to come back to town and lock their
stores that they neglected to do be
fore going away.
The department complain that the
merchants on the west end beats are
the most careless and scarcely a
night passes but what some door is
found unbarred, Last night furni-
ture house was open and the pro-
prietor summoned, he stated that he
thought that he barred the door be-
fore leaving but as nothing in the
store was disturbed he was evidently
mistaken. Chief Booker stated that
he wished to warn all merchants in
the city to bar their doors before
leaving, the police force is small and
it is impossible to cover every por-
tion of the city every few moments.
in the meantime a thief with doors
thrown open to him might
get away with valuable goods.
