Chairman Eaton of House Appropriations Committee. Has Several Bills Under Consideration.
ONE WOULD GIVE
 MEN EXTRA WAGES
.Solons at Hartford Differ as to Kind of Action Best Suited to Ex- press Feelings of CommonweaIth- Some Feel That Fighting Men Are Tired Of Paradins and Want Only to Get Home.

Hartford, April 16.--Some pro- ton of the services of Connecticut boys in the European war will be made by the committee on appropria- tions and probably will be reported in a bill to the general assembly, 'ac- cOrding to a statement by Representa- tive Eaton, house chairman of that committee today. This statement was made during debate upon the bill adopted by the senate yesterday to provide for a celebration in Hart ford in the late summer or early autumn, to honor the soldiers. Rep resentative King, the floor leader, said that he believed that the house was agreed that the state should do some thing to show it's appreciation of the services of Connecticut lads but he was not convinced that a parade or a celebration was the real solution. He called upon MT. Eaton to explain what the appropriations committee had in view, and the latter said that the committee had before 1t several suggestions and bills, including one to pay Connecticut men a certain amount of money, even as much as two months wages. He said the com mittee believed in doing something practical in place of the state going to the expense of a celebration.

clarcs.
 It was learned this afternoon from officials well up in common council matters, that a resolution, said to have been fathered by Councilman Charles A. Gillin, calling for a S60 appropriation for every discharged sailor and soldier in this city will be presented at this evenings session. The passage of the resolution would mean an appropriation of $216,000, as it would affect about $500 soldiers in this city, providing every man re- quests assistance, according to Mayor
 Quigley. Resolution As Prepared. t The resolution as framed and which
 may be brought before the council i follows:
 ! "Resolution to His Honor, the Mayor and the Common Council of
 the City of New Britain
 Resolved, That the comptroller be
 instructed to draw his orders in fa-
 vor of the war bureau of the city Of
 New Britain up to the amount of $60 flor each returned soldier or sailor, upon request for aid, to provide each such returned soldier or sailor with 1 food and lodging until they obtain em ploym ent."
 Political Move, Mayor Says. Mayor Quigley when asked this aft ernoon if ne knew about the proposal of the above resolution, replied that he did. He also added that ''it was a political move on the part of the 1 eleven members of the common coun- l cil who recently voted against the 1 appropriation of $1,O00 to welcome home the soldiers of the Yankee di-
 vision. They are doing this to save i their faces Such a resolution is ri- l diculous. The city at the present i time has no funds to meet such an
 amount of money. If the council 1 passes the resolution it will be neces- sary for me to call a special meet
 ing of the people of Now Britain to
 vote for an appropriation. As there
 are $500 discharged soldiers, sailors l and marines here, an expenditure of l S2l6, OG0 will be necessary. This would i be equivalent to a f mill tax" 1 It is the belief of the mayor that 1 the real purpose of it is 10 bring 1 public opinion against councilnen 1 who favored sending the soldiers to 1 Boston. "If the councilmen," con- cluded Mayor Quigley, ''vote against 1 the passage of such a bill. as they un- 1 doubtedly will they will get in the l bad graces of the soldiers am 1 heartily in favor of assisting our 1 heroes as much as possible, but such
 a resolution in my opinion is joke.'

 CANADIAN RIOWNG
Dominion Military Authorities Issue Statement on Soldiers Out
 breaks i'm England.

London, March S.--An official statement issued by Canadian mili- (ary headquarters in reference to rloting at Kinmel park says it is re Sretted that some of the accounts of inc fighting, in which Canadian sol dlers took part, exaggerated the sc- rlousness of the incident, but gives no details of what happened.
 lt is explained the lack of shipping facilities to take Canadian soldiers home is due partly to strikes and it Is stated that the dissatisfaction of the soldiers over alleged over pref crential treatment in em barkations be attributed to the fact that the men have been divided into sections ac- cording to the Canadian military dis tricts from which they come. By this arrangement some shorter service men were sent home ahead of some who had been under arms for a longer period.
 special court of inouiry has been ordered to conduct an investigation.

Some pro jectiles, however, have fallen in resi- dential sections and two have struck the residence of Archbishop Ship tusky, 8 noted Ukrainian patriot.
