Hartford, May ls,=President stan ley H, Bullard Of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce in opening the annual meeting of the organization al the Hotel Bend made the eTganizar ton and work of the general assem- hly leading feature of his annual report, He praised the committee on finance and the committee on appro- priations for keeping the state of ron- neetieut on a self-supportlng hasis, hut criticised the plan of organization Of the general assembly on the ground that a disproportionate num- her of bills were referred to the ju- dietary committee. He gave figures showing that about 30 per cent Of all of the 2,100 measures introduced into the general assembly went to thls one committee although there are ti other committees and ast other mem hers, In his opinion. the committee faced an impossible task.

Bg The Associated Press.
 London, May ls,-fhe court of ap- peal today ordered the release of Art O'Brien who was depoFted ta Ireland after heinz arrested in the March roundup Of republican symRathizers, 0'Brien was brought before the court on a writ of haheas corpus,
 Upon his discharged hy the court 0'Brien was immediately taken into custody hy officers from Scotland Yard and was removed 10 Row street 1 He is held for seditiaus conspiracy. The ease was adjourned for a week and the court refused meanwhile "a liherate o'Brien under bail
 He was charged specifically with eonspiring with others who are mem bers of the elf-determination league to disturb the peace in both England and Ireland and to overthrow the government of the Irish Free State.
 The case Of Art o'Brien involving the status of the hundred or more Irish agitators deported 10 Ireland after the March roundup in England and Scotland has attracted wide at- tentionin Great Britain.
 Art o'Brien twice made unsueeess- l ful application for q writ of habeas corpus but on May 2 the court of ap- peal in London decided that the writ should be granted. The Irish Free state government after taking the position that Ireiand's prisoners were her own ultimately abandoned that attitude and O'Brien was sent back 10 England.
 The situation Is of interest to the government because of the fact that habeas corpus act of 1870 under which O'Brien was released provides that no resident Of England may he deported as prisoner and declares that persons responsible for violation of the terms of the act may be henv- fly pennlized. The March deporta- tions were by order of home Secre- tary Bridgman and the government now finds itself faced with the neces- slty of passing an indemnity act to protect the secretary and other offi- cials who acted under him.
 Mir. Bridgman announced in the house of commons yesterday that the British government was requesting the Irish Free State to return to England all the deportees. He added that the government was considering whether to prefer criminal charges against some of the persons interned but that subject to such proceedings the pris- oners would be released on their re- . -- n England.

IN DEFENSE OF TOBACCO
Convention Hears That Every Drive Against It Brings Out New EN- dence in Favor of Weed.

Washington. May l6.-Intcnsive drives against all forms Of tobacco have been inaugurated in all parts ot the country with the avowed object of burying tobacco in the same grave with John Barleycorn.' Jesse A. Bloch of Wheeling. W. Va. president of the Tobacco Merchants association of the United States told the 400 members of the association in conven- ton today.
 Every attack upon tobacco" Mir. Bloch said, brings forth an addition al flood of scientific authority testify ing to the harmlessness of tobacco. Hut while our victory in the recent ti-tobacco war has been almost complete the menace has not yet passed and 1t is not likely to pass so long as professional agitators are able to pass their hats and collect the coin."
 Charles Dushkind of New York, managing director of the association, agreed with other speakers that re- tail tobacco prices were as low as present taxes and wage levels wond permit.
