GRANGE ADVOCATES
 MOTOR LAW CHANCE
Also Goes on Record in Favor Of
 Standard Time Everywhere

Hartford, Jan. 10.-The Connecticut state Grange held the final meeting of the 3sth annual session today.
 An adjustment to correct the diff ference between light weight delivery motor vehicles required to be regis tered at s2a.50 annually and the same vehicle carrying the same weight with a passenger body registered for SIS annually, was urged in the resolution referred to the resolution committee and reported favorably. It was adopt ed.
 The resolution also requested the legislative committee to use its in- fuence to have the motor law so amended that the registration fee on light weight motor vehicles sched- uled to carry 1,5oo pounds or less be s15 annually, whether the vehicle is equipped with passenger or delivery body.
 Favorable action was taken on the resolution. referred to the committee on education, that all teachers in rural districts should receive salaries of not less than si,00o annually. IL was voted that copy of the resolu- ton be sent to the state board of education.
 The resolution offered by Seneket Grange of Woodstock relating to wild deer was adopted. The resolution .es- serted that the present law protecting wild deer in this state was unfair to the agricultural industry "as the only rccompense the farmer has is to kill the deer while doing damage and re- tain the carcass. We believe that the producer being damaged should be permitted to use a rife instead of shot gun to protect his crops" The resolution further said that as the superintendent Of fisheries and games claims that the deer are the property of the state, the state should reim- purse the producer for all damages sustained.
 The Grange also in a resolution asked congressional action making standard time imperative throughout the country.

O'MEARA DIED OF
 FRACTURED SKULL
Medical Examiner Has Autopsy
 on Auto Wreck Victim

Following an autopsy performed on
 the body of Theodore O.Meara by Dr.
 Waterman Lyon last evening and an
 investigation conducted by the detec- tive bureau, Detective Sergeant Will
 liam P. McCue stated today that in
 his opinion O'Meara received the frac-
 t,Te of the skull as the result of the
 collision of the automobile in which
 he was riding on the morning of De-
 cember 24, with c. R. Anderson's ma chine or at the time the car struck a
 telephone pole on Stanley street. Jo- seph Smigel. who is now serving time in the Hartford county iail for driving an automobile while under the inf1u- ence of liquor. was dri ing the car in which O'Meara was riding when it is alleged that the collision occurred.
 Sergeant McCue does not think that O'Meara met his injuries by foul play as was first stated. O'Meara died at the New Britain Geeral hospital yes-- terday morning of injuries received in the automobile accident.
 An autopsy performed last night re- vealed that O'Meara suffered two frac- lures of the skull, one over the left eye and the other at the base of the skull. The frontal sinus fracture was the one which caused the hemorrhages later developing into meningitis.
 Sergeant McCue expressed the be- lief that O'Meara was sitting in either the side seats in the rear of the car. He thinks that when the car struck mschine or the telephone pole O'Meara was first thrown for ward so as to receive the front fore head injury and then back against a hard substance which caused the fracture at the base of the skull. In order to clear up any possible mystery with the affair Sergeant Patrick Me- Away is continuing the police investi- gation to learn whether or not the men in the machine had been en- gagged in an argument or fight previ- ous to the time of the collision.
 It will be remembered, however, that about one half an hour before the collision occurred Sergeant M- chael Flynn saw the men in a ma chine at Corbin's garage on Chestnut street and at that time O'Meara did not appear to be hurt although fol- lowing the accident Officer Collins saw OMeara sitting inthe rear seat of the car with blood covering his face.
 Funeral services for 0'Meara will he held at S:3O o'clock Friday morn- ing at the home of his sister, Mrs. Mary Arbour at 257 High street and at g o'clock at St. Mary's church. Interment will be in St. Mary's ceme- tery.

Bassette Dissatisfied
 With Liquor Penalties

Dissatisfied because judges in vari- ous cities around the state are fining liquor law yiolators and not sending enough to jail, the Civic Safety league of New Britain is going into the mat ter to see what it can do about it. Buel B. Bassette, secretary and pub licity agent for the league, admitted that the members were not pleased with the actions of justices in various courts.
 We don't like the way judges around the state are sentencing men who violate the liquor law" Mir. Bas- sette said. Not long ago, the judges told Chief Justice Wheeler that they agreed with him that first offenders of the prohibition laws ought to go to jail. I don't sec many judges sentencs ing men however. They only hand out slo0 and s200 fines and send few to jail" Mir. Bassette said he supposed New Britain was no worse than any other city and that the league, al- though 1t had discussed the matter at its last meeting but had taken no ac- ton, would consider 1t further

TELLS ROTARIANS
 0F LOUIS PASTEUR
Hartford Physician Explains De-
 Velopment of Pasteur 1reatments

The life history of Louis Pasteur and the development of the Pasteur treatment were explained to the
 members of the New Britain Rotary club today by Dr. George Tucker,
 medical director of the Aetna Life Insurance Co. of Hartford, and presi- dent of the Hartford Rotary club.
 Dr. Tucker drew a graphic word picture of Pasteur, as a boy. Slow. painstaking. careful, methodical," was the way he characterized him. He told how the boy -Pasteur was the grandson of man who had purchas- ed his freedom from ,serfdom, the humble son of humble parents. His father was the first freeborn of his race. As boy he seemed dull, slow witted, but led his classes in school and won many prizes. When he grad uated from high school at the age Of Is years he had more medals for scholarship than he could carry.
 Continuing through the boy Pas teur's education and his struggles for learning, Dr. Tucker told how in his laboratory Pasteur finally discovered the process of neutralizing tartaric acid and peri-tartaric acid by polar ized rays. He explained how Pasteur denounced the theory of spontaneous generation as a myth. That theory was that if person placed corn on a rag in 8 corner it would generate mice, if meat was left exposed to the air it would generate maggots. He explained how the chemist after years of experiments discovered that degeneration comes not from air but from the dust in the air, which acts as carrier for animal life, and he developed bottle. which would per- init air to enter but kept out the dust Beef broth put into that bot tie he said still exists in New York, years after the discoverer has died.
 The theory of transmission of dis eases through an intermediary host was discovered by Pasteur and result ed in controlling anthrax, eliminating of disease among silk worms, eliminated transmission of in- lection in operating rooms by sterili- zation and the keeping of milk pure by pasteurization and finally in the famous Pasteur treatment for rabies and hydrophobia.
 The proposition to increase the dues from s20 to $40 year as rec by the finance committee, was laid over for another meeting.

 Hotel in This City

The annual banquet Of the Mckin- ley association of Connecticut will be held on Tuesday evening, January 29, at the Bond hotel, Hartford, instead of in this city, according to the de- cision of the executive committee at the Hotel Bond yesterday noon.
