GOLD IN 1916.
Georfe L. Yeomans, 82, Recalls What His Father Told of Summarizes Year.

George L. Yeomans of Lafayette street, who will be 83 April 18th, is interested in a note in a recent issue of Zion's Herald which reads as fol- lows:
 There are several centennials occur ring during 1916, one of them being a weather centennial. The year 1916 was known as the year without a sum- mer." January was so mild that fires were allowed to go out except for cooking purposes. In April there was snow, frost and ice, and in June all vegetation was practically wiped out by the cold weather. There was se- we're snowstorm June IT, 1816, and snow, frost and ice continued through July. It was not until September that the weather conditions were normal once more.
 This reminds MT. Yeomans that his father. the late George Yeomans, who was born in 1901, attended, at the age of Is, the hanging on Gallows Hill, Norwich Town, of Miner Babcock, con- victed of killing his uncle. It was a June day, but so cold that all the men in the crowd needed overcoats and gloves; and in that year the summer was so cold that all crops were a failure.

FOR CONFERENCE ON CHAkITY WORK
Arrangements Practically Completed for General Programme for 1916 Session in Norwch-Promnent Speakers to be Heard.

The sub committee on Children of the Connecticut State Conference of Charities and Corrections has practi- part of the general program in connec- tion with the 1916 sessions to be held in this city April 30May 2. The pro- gram in charge of the committee will include a general session with several speakers at 8 o'clock the night of April 30 and round table discussion at g o'clock the next morning. At a recent meeting of the committee in New Haven it was decided that the program is arranged sufficiently to make another meeting unnecessary until the conference convenes.
 Mrs. Frank A. Mitchell of Norwich, member of the state board of chari- ties, is to be one of the principal speakers the night of April 30 and is to outline the work of the public char ities of the state in the care of de- pendent and neglected children, es- pecially with reference to the care of children who are placed out from the county homes, a work in which Mrs. Mitchell is directly associated. It is believed that she will be able to give as comprehensive a statement of what the state is doing along this line as anyone who could be secured.
 Following her will be a speaker from one of the principal state wide private charities which is engaged in a similar work of placing out chill dren. The identity of this speaker has not been definitely determined
 One of the principal speakers of the sessions will be heard that night, c. c. Carstens of Boston, secretary and general agent of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, considered to be one of the most profound speakers in this field available as well as one of the

most practical. He will outline a program for the state public and pri- vate charities which may be practi- cal for Connecticut, suggesting, wher- ever he is able, Improvements in the present system.

 Wfnsted, in which a brief report will be made of the problems connected with the care of dependent and neg lected children by both public and pri- vate charities in the state including those who are under four years of age and under the county home age.
 At the Round Table discussion the following morning there will be talks by Rev. John F. Ryan of Hartford, Miss Marjorie Cheney of South Man? chester and Mrs. Leona S.. Wheaton, who has charge of the branch of the New England Home for Little Wan derers recently established at Bridge port. Rev. Fr.

ROAD MECHANICS TO
 POLL STRIKE VOTE The Long Period of Indecision Will Be Brought to an End This Week-Twc Thousand Men Involved.

Mechanical workers of the New Ha- ven road will poll a strike vote this week in order to bring to an end the long period of indecision on the part of officials who have refused for more than a year to treat with the men. Strike ballots will be distributed to the men on Wednesday and the vote taken will be pushed to a finish so the mat ter can be settled one way or another before spring.
 All the roads mechanical men are eager to bring the issue to a head and end what they term the officials monkey shines" The officials still in- sist they won't treat with the Ameri- can Federation of Labor men unless the I. w. w. organizations also are taken into the conferences.
 No less than 2,500 men are involved. They ask a flat increase of four cents an hour for machinists, boilermakers, electricians, blacksmiths, carmen, sheet metal workers and all helpers.
 The first request for a wage increase was submitted many months ago. Off, ficials ignored it, and subsequent re- quests were skilfully sidetracked until now the men have reached the point where they are not in the mood to con- tinue at work much longer.

STATE DOES NOT
 REQUIRE REGISTRATION
Of Commercial Autos Which Come to This State FromOther States On Business.

Arthur F. Connor, the chief clerk in the automobile department, has called the attention of Attorney General George B. Hinman to the opinion given about five years ago by MT. Hinman's predecessor, Judge John H. Light, to the effect that the owners of commercial automobiles, who come to this state from other states to do business, were not re- quired to take out a registration which were given by the authorities of their home states sufficed for Connecticut since the owners were not residents of this state. Since then the automobile law has been changed materially and it occurred five years ago might not conform to the law as it now stood.
 The attorney general gave MT. Conner a tentative opinion that the changes in the law since his prede- cessor advised Colonel M. H. Rogers. who was then secretary of state, did not apply to the point raised by him and that the law stood as interpreted by Judge Light. He, however, would look into the matter more fully and would give him @ written opinion later.
 dissatisfaction for some years over the failure of the state to require the owners of commercial cars from other states to pay registration fee since they come here for the purpose of doing business. It seems that the question grew out of theo Litigation on summer residents to have their cars registered even though they reside in this state only a few weeks in the summer season. But the law was held to apply only to residents of the state. It is likely that at the next session of the general assembly the law will be amended to include commercial cars from other states which must be registered in Con- necticut; when they are used for business purposes in this state.

MOVED STATE PAPERS
 TO LIBRARY BUILDING
Early Legislative Papers Will Be cata Iosued and Classified Into Their Ap propriate Subjects.

The early legislative papers prior to 1920, which Aave up to this time been stored in the capitol, and which have been hitherto inaccessible, were moved Wednesday afternoon to the state li- brary, where they will be catalogued and classified into their appropriate subjects. These papers transferred contain every bill, whether passed or not, which was brought into the Con- necticut general assembly, besides every petition and resolution, from the shortly after the new constitution of the state was adopted. The importance of these papers is seen by the titles of some of the subdivisions. These papers deal with the militia, from 1878 to 1757; with the Revolutionary war, with the wars with the Indians, France and Spain; with private controversies and ecclesiastical matters; with finance and currency; with the dis putes about the early boundaries of various Connecticut towns; with trade and maritime affairs; with college and schools; with crimes and misdemean- ors; with lotteries and divorces; with insolvent debtors, and a number of other subjects.
 The papers which were moved from the capitol are very numerous and the work of cataloging them will neces- sarily be a considerable one. When, however, these papers and documents are put into shape, there will be made readily accessible to the general pub lie, in convenient form, all the legisla- tion which has ever come before the general assembly of Connecticut, both in its May and October sessions, up to the year 1920.
