LISTER VETOES
ANTI-JIT BILL

the bill never had been sent to
the house.
At exactly eight minutes before
noon the bill reached the house. 1t
was too late.
Loses Motion
In the afternoon Nichols intro
duced resolution to suspend the
rules and permit the house to act
on the bill. After a sharp fight
the resolution was lost, 81 to 10.
Immediately afterward, Rep.
Fuller made an attempt in the
house to have the rules suspend
ed and the bill acted on, but he
was showed under by a vote of So
to s.
1t was just one more winning
for the Stone-Webster interests.
which have owned the legislature
body and soul and have had every
thing their own way.
Listers Reasons
Gov. Lister, in vetoing senate
bill SO, took the ground that the
public service commission is not
provided with means of securing
evidence of violations of the law
nor to enforce such orders as 1t
might make concerning the jit-
neys.
Another of his objections was
that the bill would only regulate
the business of carrying passen-
gers and would not regulate the
operation of motor trucks when
used as carriers of freight on
streets and highways.

Especial to The Times)

OLYMPIA, March S.-Gov. Lis
ter late yesterday vetoed senate
bill 80, putting the jitney buses
under the public service commits
sion, after the Stone Webster own
ed organiza ton of the legislature
had slipped the moose around the
Jits' necks by means of brazen
piece of political jobbery.
Through trickery the Nichols
senate bill 265, which would open
the way for jitneys to get bonds
In view of the recent supreme
court decision, was left in the
lurch in the final rush of bill
passing.
Senate bill 265 placed limit on
the amount Of damages for which
q bonding company would be liza
bic.
BIN Sent Too Late
The supreme court had held a
bonding company would be liable
for $500 for each passenger in
a jitney--a ruling which made it
impossible for any company to
write bonds.
The senate passed the Nichols
bill Tuesday evening by vote of
2S to IL, and Nichols moved that
1t should be Immediately sent to
the house and his motion carried.
The time limit for passing bills
had been set for noon Wednesday.

many is playing villa against Car.
rama. Great sums of German
money are pouring into the bandit
leaders hands, melting him tC
activity against the United State:
and against Carranza, while at the
same time German agents work
through officials OF the Carranza
government seeking to align that
side against the United States.
Just back from a trip into the
interior of Mexico, can state
these facts on the highest au-
thority:
Agents of the German govern
ment in Mexico approached Fran
cisco Villa at his headquarters at
Bustillo's ranch, about February
II, with a proposition to renew
his raids on the border in case
OF a declaration of war between
the United States and Germany.
The conference extended over two
days.
villa Agrees to Ii.
At first Villa demurred against
any attack on the border, in force,
under any circumstances. At
length an agreement was reached
that in case of war Villa would
send small bands. as unattached
bandits, to operate at widely sep
arated points along the interna-
tional line and TO make sporadic
forays to harass American troops.
Under the terms of the agree
ment the German agents promised
to pay Villa 100000 pesos ($25O,-
000) in gold at once to seal the
compact. He refused to enter
into the plot until the first pay
ment was handed over. They
agreed to pay a large amount each
month thereafter in case of war,
to enable Villa to pay his men,
secure ammunition and to build
up his shattered forces for a
campaign.
Plot Against Carranza.
The villa plan was to be used
chiefly in the event of failure to
induce Carranza to enter an in
trigue against the United States

LAKE INVENTION WILL BE BIG AID
 IN MOBILIZATION
Patents Cross-Country Carrier for Submarines and U-
 Boat ChaSerS.

The first active step towards quick mobilization of submarine and subma- rine chasers is seen in the granting Of patents for @ marine carriage which will probably soon be manufactured in this city, to Simon Lake.
 The device is substantially com bination of the marine railway ''cra- dle" and low mounted railway truck It's operation would entail the lower ing of the specially devised car into deep-Water ways upon submerged tracks. A boat would be operated into the craldle, made fast in similar man. ner to that now used in drawing boats into shipyards, and hauled upon rail- road tracks to any point desired.
 The radius of transportation would be limited only by the interference of overhead Instructions, which might be struck by the omniscopes
 Lakes original idea of the "anaphi- bious submarine" and quick. mobility of coast defenses whereby a fleet of boats may be transported by land faster than could be done on the water or through enemy bIockades. is now carried one step further by the governments recognition of the in ventOr's design.
 The device, which will render DOS sible the quick formation of a fleet of submarine chasers upon any part Of the coast line where danger of attack may be apprehended, is not applicab bIe at this time to the larger submarines of wide cruising radius, because of their great size and weight, but makes possible the building of smaller and less expensive craft by the govern ment in greater numbers and gives wider and more efficient coast protec- ton to the country than heretofore

RORABACK BILL PASSES HOUSE,;
 LITTLE DISSENT
Almost Unlimited Right Given for Developing Power
 Resources
(Special to The Farmer.)

(SpeCldI to INo ~ liA0A''
 Hartford, March 23-With little or no opposition the House yesterday nassed the Housatonic Power Go. bill, better known as the "Roraback Dill, a. measure which gives to the Rocky River Power Go. almost unlimited right in the development of light and power plants in the state. The pro- visions of the bill have caused con- siderable close inquiry by members or the General Aassenbly, but no serious opposition was presented yesterday when House Chairman Talcott of the committee on interpretations asked for the passage of the measure.
 Representative Corbett of Hartford did not oppose the bill but he said It gave the corporation very proad powers. The bill provides that the Housatonic Power Co. and the Rocky River Co. shall be combined in a com pany to be known as the Connecticut Light & Power Go. The company proposes to take power from the Housatonic river but it's charter al- lows it to develop light and power from other rivers in the state.
 Representative N. Candee of Nor walk asked if the bill permitted the company to take over the municipal light and power plant in his town. He was told it did not.
 Representativs c. N. Hall of New Milford spoke for the bill. He said it was intended to develop the power resources of the Housatonic valley and that at present a $1,000,000 b1eachery is building at New Milford. His townsmen have been assured that $3,OO0,O0O corporation employing 5000 persons will locate in the town if the proper power and light facili- ties can be guaranteed. He said this was in line with the development of that section of the state as an indus trial as well as an agricultural com- munity.
 After the bill had been passed and in order to clinch 1t, Chairman Talcott who voted for the measure moved that it be reconsidered. The motion was lost.
