REPUBLICANS FOLD CAUCUS
 NOVEMBER 10 ID DETERMInE
 LEGISLATION ID BE HANDLED

from which so much is hoped for in the way of suggestions, will not take place until next month. Mean while the House must ''stal1,' but this has ceased to be q novelty in the last five months.
 There are few if any Congressman whose daily mail is not filled with letters from soldiers and sailors ask ing for appropriations or other legis- la ttOn that will assist them in their re-start in civil life with a better chance than when they took up arms for their country. Many of these letters are requests for cash bonuses, some of the writers telling of inn
 mediate and pressing debts that they
 desire to sponge off the slate, and fntir,ating strongly that they expect
 the government to act quickly so
 that they may liquidate promptly.
 The American Legion has, in way,
 declared against any cash bonus
 pIaf1 but has made no specific re-
 comm ndations. This may be done
 ct the forthcoming Minneapolis meet
 ing and that is what the Republican
 ma jority in the House is awaiting:
 As Senator Penrose has termed the A"popgun'' tariff bills passed by the
 House "DfecenleaI legisIation' which
 some cases 1dl1 to pay SbtlS StIIS1i-
 ton to the necessity of compensatory
 duties on articles connected with the production of these manufactured and raw materials not to mention other unkird remarks, the RenubE- can Congressnen are asking wheth- CT they are to continue to be made the targets fog the shafts of ridicule hurled by the Republican chairman of the Senate finance committee. As time already has hung so heaT- iIy on the hands Of the House that a five weeks recess was stopped only by the President of the United States, the Republicans are asking what they are to do since the passage of pop gum tariff bills Is practically inter dicted by the big "boss." This will probably cause a revival of the plan for an adjournment from as soon as possible in November after the eau GUS until the opening of the regular session in December.
 There is one new Republican Con gressn7an who has discovered what he is in washin gton for. He told a [ Democratic colleague.
 I'm here to help make a quorum, '' said he.

ROO LICENSES
 TsKEN OUT BY
 LOCAL HUNTERS

Nearly 300 Acenscs have already been issued to hunters in Fs~irfeld county who intend to take adTan- tage of the law which allows them to shoot woodcock, quail and male pheasant fro--l today. The license fee is SIPS for citizens and $15 for aliens. A number Of alien licenses have also been issued.
 The law prohibits the shooting of 17artrhdse this year and for this req son it is believed that a, number oS old hunters will not take out licenses this year.
 Hunters >are allowed to shoot only five woodcocE, five quail and two pheazants. The ls,,.- is off until No- vember 2B.
 Hunters who have already been to the woods and marshes to try out their dogs report having started up many woodcock and quail and local sportsmen, who will be out in force, anticipate an interesting and busy season.
 Hope was expressed by the Fish and Game Commission at a meeting in Hartford Monday that the new game laws, now in the hands of the printers, will be ready for disTibu- tiOn by the various town clerks in the near future. Shortage of paper, it was stated, Iw8s causing the delay.

Washington, D. C.-The Republi- can members of the House of Repre- sentatives are to hold another caucus on Nov. 10 10 determine what they are to do iegisiatively--if anything during the remainder of the special session. The five weeks interval. it is hoped, will furnish some sugges- 1ions to be presented at the meeting that can be agreed upon by all fac tions and which T-iu have the ap- proval of the party leaders in the Senate.
 At that time, if their courage holds out. the insurrectos who desire the overthrow of Frank W. Mondeli, par tv floor ieauer; will attempt that ap- ,1arentIv impossible task. They are expected to point out that little leg is1ative work has been accomplish ed, and most of that, recommends tions of the Presfdentf that much of inc tariff and revenue legislation passed by the House after many months travail Is held up in the Sen ate. ard, according to Senator Bo4es Penrose, "bos5' of the c. o. P. will continue to be until 1921. Ths rebelliors ones are likely to urge that the House floor leader should be in touch with the Senate chief
  ed on impossible legislation, and that party boasts of achievements may have q chance of coming true.
 Present caucus plans, according to gossip of Republicans, contemplate @ discussion of what to do with the railroads. Involving a rehash of the Plumb. Esch and Cunanisls plans, and then a decision to do nothing at this session, despite the Pres1- dents warning that he intended turn ing back the roads to their owners by the first of the new. year. Presi- dent Wilson has repeatedly asked for legislation permitting this return and protecting the public and the railroads, but all indications point to no actFon by either Senate or House.
 If any real, beneficial soldiers leg fslation gets through the House this session 1t will be considered a mir acle by most of the members. Floor Leader Nondel4 is still attempting to whip his party colleagues into line for the kidnapped MondelI-smoot soldiers land b4lI, but his following is almost nil.
