the indictments in their very incom-

Mr. Wickersham spoke at great
length on each of the points. When he
had finished his plea. the United

leaving the proof TO inference and said
that the indictment was specific in

OBJECT TO RECONSIDERATION
representative Stanford Does Hot
Succeed in Attempt to Bring Hotel
Liquor Bill Up Again-saloon
Licenses for Citizens Only.

Especial Hartford Correspondence.)
The bill permitting hotel keepers
to sell liquor TO their guests, which
was rejected in the house, was brought
up again on a motion to reconsider
Representative Edward ]. Stanford of
New Haven. who is a member of the
excise committee. made the motion for
reconsideration, saying that he be-
lieved the matter had not been fully
considered by the committee and
should be recommitted. He said some
of the members of the committee felt
that the matter had not been thorough
ly threshed out and that there was
some confusion in their minds between
this bill and a substitute which was
proposed of less radical character.
Representative Charles ]. Martin
of Orange. chairman of the commit
tee, objected to the reconsideration.
He said the committee had fairly con-
sidered the bill and that there was
no need for a recommittal He said
that the bill aimed to extend the liquor
trade in the state. He believed in
restriction and not extension OF the
liquor business. Mr.. Stanford said
that an amendment had been proposed
in the committee but the committee
had not acted upon il.
A bill which will no doubt cause
great opposition and which may cause
licenses being taken away from many
saloonkeepers, was reported favor
ably in the house by the excise com
mittee. This bill provides that no per
son not citizen of the state may hold
a liquor license. Ii reads as follows:
mo person, not a citizen of this
state shall be considered suitable
person to receive a license for the
sale er spiriMo and intoxicating Ii
quors in this state"

Hartford.-A few weeks ago there

there are about forty and soon there
will be more. For the jitney is grow

sees one or more added to the number
of automobiles of almost all sizes,
ages and patterns which are willing
to carry as many passengers as they
can TO any destination along their
routes for 5 cents. The iitney idea
is spreading quickly and the iitney
itself is multiplying. For to turn an
ordinary automobile into jitney, all
that has TO be done is to label II with
IA sign telling that it is, go out on
the street pick any route and take
on board the passengers who will hail
the car at almost every street cor
ner and who viii give a "Jtmey the

Meanwhile the Connecticut Com

the little jitney most insidious OF all
insects is taking away from IL. Be

company. said that the iitney was TAX
ing the short.haul passenger, the most
profitable one, away from the com

ford's unemployed who can't get
work" He said that the coming of
the jitney TO Hartford was due TO
hard times and the enterprise of au-
tomobue dealers with secondhand
ears In their garages. Not only does
the jitney seem to be taking some of
the profits from the Connecticut Com
pany. but it is even growing insolent
in so doing. Several Of them calmly
drove up beside where people were
waiting for trolley cars and took the
would-be passengers OF the trolley on

WHO BEAT CHILD LABOR AND

The Illinois Manufacturers assn
is getting about all that business"
wants from the Illinois legislature,
according to circular letter mailed
this week by the association chair
man of legislative committee, Edward
C. Westman. He writes:
Members of the general assembly
have taken cognizance of the bust
ness situation. They have arisen to
the occasion. They are to be COM
mended.
Following its usual custom, the
Illinois Manufacturers assn has used
it's influence to secure the co-opera-
ton of all manufacturing CONNER
cial and employers organizations in
Illinois, as well as the individual
manufacturing concerns and employ
ers, in securing the defeat of legisla-
ton proposed at Springfield unfriend-
ly to business. Unity of action has
never before been so effective, and
results so gratifying.
''The dying days of the session are
at hand and it is imperative every
employer and business interest watch
diligently the events at Springfield,
even though number of bills, espe-
ciaIly those regulating the hours of
labor and transportation, have been
apparently defeated"
