Hartford, Feb. 12 - The Senate joint resolution to ratify the Federal prohibition amendment, rejected by the Senate, and yesterday adopted by the House, was in effect finally killed by the Senate today which voted 24 to ' to adhere to it's former rejection.
 The parliamentary situation was made simple by failure of any sena- tor to raise the point that the Senate having refused to reconsider retec- ton could not again consider the matter Instead, after Clerk Kenealy had read the endorsements on the bill, Senator Brooks moved that the Senate adhere. To this Senator Woodruff objected on the ground that it would be discourteous to the House. He thought a conference committee ought to hsve a chance to consider the disagreement. Sena- tor Hemenway pointed out that the House had refused to reconsider it's action and a conference would be without result.
 L1eutenant-Governor Wilson said the resolution was before the Senate. This was tantamount to ruling that the Senate's previous refusal to re- consider it's rejection did not bar the measure from further considerA- ton. There was no debate and the vote to adhere prevailed by a rising vote.
 A resolution offered by Mr. Stoecker of Beacon Falls, eulogistic of the pub lie services and the home life of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was adopted in the House and immediate ly thereafter by the senate. | In both branches the chapIains made reference to the life of Abra- | ham Lincoln in their prayers. | The effort to bring about an early 1 hnaI adjournment was emphasized by
 notice given by Senator Klett that all | matters to be heard in the judiciarF | committee would be disposed of by 1 March 15, and Representative Sher- 1 wood of Westport told the House thai ! members should get busy at hor7- | they expect to be heard on local bills
 as hearings before the committee wi end March 6.
 The military affairs committee re- ported a revision of Section 746 of the revised statutes concerning the staff of the governor, providing that the staff shall consist of the adjutant gen. cral as brigadier general; a quar- termaster, a judge-advocate general. 1 a surgeon general, a connnissary gen. eral, each with rank of colonel. and 1 four personal aides each with rank of major, and a naval aide. The present law limits the staff to an adjutant general and seven aides to be ap- pointed from among officers of pres ent or past service with the rank of major. The new plan is in effect a reversion to the old one Governor Holcomo ignored the present law in reappointing his present staff.
