HEARING GIVEN BILL.
 FOR LICENSING OF PLUMBING WORK FRS
Manufacturers Show OppOsi- ton to Journeymen-Strong
 Support for Measure.

Hartford, March 24-While the jul dietary committee yesterday assigned about the customary number of bills for hearing, the only one which took a great deal Of time was House Bill No. 274 concernirg the licensing of plumbers The Journeymen plumb CTS were for it with one accord, say ing that it had been gone over thor o1ghIy and was benedcent, while the opposition insisting that it had sym pathy with the purport of the bill, strongly objected to it's passage, or to the passage of any feature like it
 Julius StremIau of A4eriden. for the State Federation. of Labor, said that the journeymen plumbers were in fa- voz of it J. E. Burger of Bridgeport said that it was a. bill for the benefit of humanity as it would tend to the health of the commonwealth
 Plumbing Inspector Gaffney of An sonia, agreed with the other speakers and said that unscrupulous contrac- plumbing Patrick F. OsMara of New Haven, told the committee that the bill would If enacted, entail no expense to the state as 1t provides for local boards Of examiners and not for a state commission
 MT. Burger, in closing for the sup porteEs of the bill, said that it; was
 
 the 1onrneyrnen had no selfish motive in supporting it.
 Arthur L. Shipman, appearing for the Manufacturers association, said the bill was unavoidable and that, to cite one point only the examiners under it should be subject to the building inspector or the board of health instead of being named by the favor. He said, in his opinion, the journeymen should not be licensed but the master plumbers should be and the work done should then be care fully inspected.
 The bill was opposed further by Ass sistant Corporation Counsel Town shend Of New Haven, who appeared board of aldermen, who objected. mainly, because the passage of the bill would oyerturn the plumbing ordinances of that city as well as of every other city in the state
 Ralph O. Wells of this city pointed out what, to him. were defects in the bill. one being that the examination of a journeyhaan in one city would not qualify him for work in another city and he said that, because Of this. work on any lbig job might be great ly delayed. He said. also, that there is no appeal provided from the decis- ion of the board.
 States Attorney H. M. A1corn got a vague promise from the committee that it would consider a. bill provid- ing that a physicians license to prac- tce should be revoked if he is com victed in connection with an abortion case. A bill of that purport had been reported adversely earlier in the session apparently owing to the fact that its supporters neglected to come before the committee when the mat ter was heard.
 Senator Bartlett advocated Dill regarding warehouse receipts. The bill imposes a penalty for the use or transfer of bogus receipts and fol- lows the Pennsylvania, law. Senator Mead of Greenwich was heard for a bill repeating the 1913 amendment to the marriage contract law which re- quires g. hvesdays notice before the license is issued.

NO CHANGES NOW CONTEMPLATED AT
 MOSS &KRIEGER'S
Caesar Misch, Inc, Will Con- tinue to Operate Stores Separately--Big Clear
 ance Sale Soon.

That no changes in employees are contemplated in either the Moss & Krieger or the Caesar AGisch, Inc: store, and that both stores will run, as usual, were the important facts of sar Misch, Inc, to-day, in connection with the purchase by the Misch inter ests of the Moss S. Krieger store.
 The Moss & Krieger store will be closed this evening until Saturday. On Thursday and Friday prepa paratio. IS will be made for a general clean-out of the entire stock. This will be 8 cash sale, with great price cutting, with the idea of clearing out all the stock left by the former ownership before the new spring merchandise is unpacked by the new management. T.
 The Moss & Krieger store. at Main and Gold streets and the Caesar AIisch store at Main and Golden Hill streets, will continue as heretofore, both cred it stores, carrying general merchan- disc for men. women and children.
 The purchase of the Moss & Krie- ger business makes the eleventh link in the chain. of stores conducted by Caesar Misch, Inc, throughout New England. Originating in ProVi- dence, in a small store the enter prise has sprang from a humble be- ginning S2 years ago to a command tAlS POSAlAOh HI 4NeW EIlS1and Ifl0Fcan- tile circles. It has it's own factories. and is one of the largest buyers of clothing in New England.
 The Bridgeport store was opened 4 years age. at 1115 Main street, and five years ago was removed to the more commodious establishment at Main, Golden Hill and Middle streets Under the direction of Her1non w, and George Walder, the two Fridge port stores promise to continue 10 play important parts in the business life of the city.

STOCK MARKET


 New York March 4.-Opening - Tho upward swing of the stock market was resumed at the beginning of today's business, many leading issues and a number Of less important ones making new high prices for the current move nent- Among these were B. s. Steel, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Amer ican Sms1tings Baltimore & Ohio, American Can and some iof the equip- nent Issues. notably American Loco motive and American Car & Foundry in which the rise extended between 1 and ? points. Bethlehem Steel added another point to yesterdays decline. Trading was again very active with further short covering
 Noon--Specu broadened te a marked degree during the morning session, trading in the first hour ag- gregating about 100000 shares with some dininution of activity toward midday. Prices continued to rise, how ever, the feature being Union Pacific which was the most prominent stock at an advance of 2 S-& points. Taking the mornings best prices as basis the level of quoted values was highest of any time isnce the exchange re- sumed operations The fact that deal lngs centered about the seasoned is- sues instead Of the speciaIties was ac- eepted as an indication of the mar ket's soundness. Bonds were active and firm.

IMPORTER DRIVEN TO SUICIDE BY
 WAR IN EUROPE
Henry Endemann Fires Fat al Shot Before Mirror in
 Hotel Bathrom.

New York, March 24.-Henry. Ende- mann, importer of china and glass ware, shot himself to death yesterday afternoon in his room in the Hotel As tor because he believed his business was being ruined by the European war
 Until the war began Endemann was prosperous. He depended almost en- tirely on Germany for. his stoclzs but for six or seven months had found it impossible to import. His offices and store were at NO. 50 Park Place. He lived with his wife and -year-o1d son, Henry, Jr., at Point Breeze Place, Far Rockaway.
 Endemann left home Monday morn there only a short time At 1 O o'clocI yesterday morning he registered at the Astor, where he was well known.
 His failure to come home Monday evening had aroused his wife's sus- because of his business affairs, but she had failed to find any trace of him.
 Other guests in the hotel heard a re- voIver shot yesterday afternoon and teIephoned to the office. Bndemann's# door was found to be doubly bolted and had to be broken in. His body was found in the bathroom before a. mirror. A bullet wound was in his right temple, and on the floor a new revolver He evidently had stood be- fore the mirror to direct his aim 2 Endemann, who was 50 years old, had lived in Far Rockaway. three years.

would fol1ou if the lagr Iwaa chanlged.

would follow if the law was changed
 Arthur Allen of Wilmington, chair man of the town school board. told of the days when teachers received only S5 or $6 week. Those teach CTS were doing the best they could but necessarily it follows that more competent teachers are secured to- day State aid has allowed the teachers to receive salaries of about SIP week. A 6-mill tax is neces- sary in additional to the state aid and to be deprived of state aid would be a calamity.
 w Es,lcfanan of Mansfield said the average attendance grant, the su- pervision grant and the high school grant have greatly benefited the cdu- cationa1 conditions. The best blood of the cities came from the small towns Mansfield last year paid F mills for school purposes and the av- craze rate throughout tine state was E mills annually. It is more ex- pensiVe to educate pupils in small towns than in the cities Thirty dol- lars a pupil has been the cost in some of the small towns. The towns would object strenuously to addition al taxes for school purposes. Rural communities expect and must get state support for both schools and roads if the small towns are to pros per. Mansfield has twenty-seven pu-
 
 This number would be depleted if state aid was reduced.
 B. O'Connor of Norfolk said 40 per cent of the grand list of his town was spent on the schools, yet he want ed the rural schools protected.
 Judge W. U. Pearne of Midd1etown explained House Bill No. SIS. The object of the bill is to legalize a pro- cedure now in existence in Connecti- cut Evils of 1oitering on streets and absence of children from schools was supposed to have been covered by an act passed in 1865 and by Sections 21 and 22 of the General Statutes. These statutes allow for enactments by towns of bylaws to cover the above evils The other statutes provide that the towns may provide for three or more truant officers and for the police to apprehend school children.
 The result is now satisfactory. In school matters it would be wise to authorize the school authorities to in- vestigate absence from school and compel attendance and to allow req sona;ble compensation for such ser vice. The town school committee needs such power, especially in con- solidated districts.
 The hearing on amending Section 1163 of the General Statutes relating to unlawful exhibition or employ ment of children stpetered out" The bill provides for an increase in the az elimit of from 12 to 16 years of children doing tight rope walking and general vaudeville acts. No one ap- peared either for against the measure.

Meriden Brewery May Be Removed To
 Bridgeport Plant

Directors of the Conneeticut Brew cries company. are discussing plans today to remove the Meriden plant of the brewery to this city and it is like Iy the plans will be carried out.
 According to the belief of the di rectors the advantages will be the centraIization of the plant, .lessendng of expenses off labor, materials and freightage. and greater ef1ciency caused by the centralization of the plant.
 It is planned to dismantle the plant in Meriden and move the vats and machinery here. Ale for ibottling. which has been brewed in AEeriden, will probably be brewed here.
