ROOSEVELT TO RUSSIA
Colonel Warns Duma to Go Easy and Not Kick Over Traces-Cauti0n, the Watclword.


 New York. May 2.-A message from Theodore Roosevelt to the people of the new democratic government in Russia was made public here prior to tho departure of Count Tolstoy today for Petrograd. The count will deliver the message there.
 After urging the Russian leaders ''to see that their striking victory is used with such moderation and wis., dom as to prevent all possibility of re- action," the former president ex- presses "the keenest sympathy" for their program of religious, political and industrial freedom, and adds:
 Tn any such great movement as yours the danger at the point you have reached comes, almost as much from well-meaning. unbalanced ex- tremists who favor the revolution as from the reactionaries themselves.
 "As you have put. 1t, the torch of enlightenment fired the revolution. Sec that the light of the torch Is not dimmed by any unwise and extreme action. Not only for your sakes, but for our own sakes. we beg you exactly n by courage and disinterestedness you have forced through tho revolu- ton 50 by wisdom and self-control you secure for your country the per- manent benefits of the revolution"

 Owing to the severity of last nights storm Company E men did not at tend the motion picture show at the Lyceum and consequently the address by Corporal Dawson and the drilling by the picked squads did not take place.

SUNDAY DRINK BILL ].
 REACHES SENATE
Would Authorize Hotels to Sell
 to Bona Eide Guests

Hartford. May 2.-The long looked for excise bill which would give hotel proprietors the right to sell liquor on Sunday was reported to the senate today. It has been claimed that there has been more activity over this bill than over any other measure before the General Assembly this session. The report is a divided one. some members being for it and senate chairman Quigg and House Chairman Smith recommending that it ought not to pass. The bill would give coun- try mmissioners the right to license the keeper of a we'll established and reputable hotel to sell liquors to bona fide guests on every day of the week except between 12 at night and 6 in the morning. On Sunday liquor would have to be sold with food in the din- ing room. A special license would cost $250 in addition to the other N- cense fees. Thirty per cent. of this special fee would go to the state. ten per cent. to the county and sixty per cent. to the town or city.
 The Mems League of the Newheld Methodist church of Bridgeport peti-
 
 give the governor power to close. sa- looms in the war period.
 The bill reorganizing the state health department by creating a health council of six members, three of whom shall be physicians. and giv- ing these council extremely wide pow CTS in many directions was placed upon passage in the senate. After a vigorous debate with the democrats, objectors to the bill, it was tabled un- til tomorrow to permit the printing of amendments which curtailed the powers of the council as set forth in the original draft.
 The bill had been under much scrut- iny because one section in 1t gave the health council Jurisdiction over many subjects which are not directly under such q body. In other particulars its provisions were not specific.
 The excise committee today an- nounced that 1t will give hearing next Tuesdax on various petitions which favor legislation to give gov- ernor the power to close. saloons at his discretion as a war measure. The house adopted the emergency bill which places heavy penalties Gn persons who have explosives in their possession or trespass on property i where explosives are stored. It adopted after long debate the bill creating 8 lien of $155,0O0 in favor of the state on land, buildings and equipment of the Connecticut School for Girls at Middletown. It granted 2. charter to the Danielson and Willi- mantle Railway company and re- ceived favorable reports on bills a1- N H- fish sewer commissions and to appoint town managers. Unfavorable on the bill extending home rule to all cities and towns ands tabled the bill for the legislative souvenir which the sem ate has passed. J
 The senate adopted the amendments to the workmen's compensation law In the same form as reported by the committee, voting down amendments offered by Senator O'Sullivan relating to occupationar diseases.
