Expectations are borne out in the appointment of Sen. Rogers of New London to the>all-important commit tee on appropriations and of Sem ator Brooks of Torrington, now in his fifth term, to the chairmanship of the committee oh banks, which has be- come a permanent berth for him. Senator Park of the Twentieth dis trict wins fine plum for a new conner in the cities and boroughs chairmanship.

Meriden, now in his third term. was made chairman of the practically de unct committee on woman suffrage.
