| Senate judiciary committee, of which he is chairman, already has before Il for consideration over 100 proposed bills
 The author of each of these meas. ures will be righteouslv indignant If t does not obtain careful review and discussion from the committee. And more bills are coming in each day The general procedure is to appoint a subcommittee for each bill, which talks it over, holds hearings and re- ports back to the full committee, which generally adopts the recommendations so received.
 Of course. the judiciary committee has a long line of constitutional amendments. Leading in interest are proposals to renovate the 18th amend ment. But all sorts of other proposals have been referred Co the committee. Proposals to tinker up the marriage and divorce laws. to incorporate the international association of Rotary clubs, to protect commerce against bribery. to suppress the sale of pistols, to appoint additional federal judges. etc.
 Certain measures Mir Brandegee in- troduees at the request of a member fl the cabinet. Thus. at the request Of Attorney General Daugherty, he has put in a bill aiming to close the pres ent alleged loophole whereby indiyid- uals can defraud the government and smile at the law.
 Bridgeport P o. Case
 The Bridgeport postmaster case, in- valving Senate confirmation or disap- proval of the nomination of Arthur A Conner. has dragged along, mainly be- cause the charges against Connor were q long time reaching Washington, The odds are in favor of Connor. who was recommended by Congressman Merritt, who is standing by his choice.
 Want a German Gun?
 If any Connecticut city or town has not been given captured German war cannon-on paper that town has am pie reason to feel aegrieved Senators and congressman have been throwing in bills giving to sundry places these war relics. The chances are that these bills won't amount e anything. The captured war trophies will prob ably be disposed of by sending eer- tain allotment to the governor of each state for distribution. Thus, Congress won't have any say.

 The act in question does not make primary election compulsory. It does not deal at all with the selection of candidates for public office. It pro- vides,. as its title clearly discloses, method for selecting party officers. It provides for selecting party delegates to national conventions. These dele gates are not to be subsequently, voted on: they are not candidates for public offices; they are not to be nominated for subsequent election, they are party officers, and are in no sense public offices, and are in no sense candidates for public offices.

Three Thousand Cases Of Red Whisky, Gin And Cham
 pagne Taken After Battle

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Three thou sand cases of whisky, gin and cham pagne valued at s200,000, an ocean going tug boat valued at $50 GOO. and six men were seized early today by officers of the police boat Manhattan. after a battle in New York harbor that continued up the North river to the foot of Chambers street. No one was wounded in the exchange of shots. Pc lice found that the boat, the Capitol No. 1, had been captured twice before. The pistol battle became hand to hand fight after the police boarded the vessel, but three men who renained on board were overpowered. Of the six or seven others who left the tug and took to- their heels, three were captured. s.'s
 The Manhattan had been patrolfing the lower end of New York Bay and had returned to the harbor Off Gov ernor's island boat without lights was discovered in the darkness and the answer to a command to ,heave to was volley of shots. A shot from ma chine gun aboard the police. boat failed to stop the tug and both sped up the river through the darkness. The Manhattan was gaining on her prey when the Capitol pulled in at Chambers street and her crew at- tempted to escape.
 The six men were turned over to federal authorities. /'' :
 The Capitol No. 1. was seized about IS months ago when she was known as the John S. McCann. Recently she was taken for the second time off Col lege Rsifit.. She is an ocean-going craft of 15 tons.
