SENATE fAVORS BILL
 ON C0RBIN AVE. ROAD
Would Make Street Part of State Highway
 System
Especial to the HeralO

Hartford, March 19. The long arm of the Judiciary committee of the legislature reached out today and plucked Representative Thure Bengtson's bill to regulate power driven boats on lakes and ponds of the state, from the fish and game committee of the assembly.
 The bill had been scheduled for hearing Wednesday before the fish and game commission. but legal ramifications resulted through the actions of judiciary minded legisla- tors with the result that the most influential body in the assembly will announced later.
 Representative Bengtson of New Britain was responsible for the mat ter of motor boat nuisance and an- noyances being brought before the legislature. He has conferred with S Titcomb. members of the fish and game committee and representatives of cities and towns which have lakes and ponds affected by the out board motor problem.
 It augurs well for the bill to have the judiciary committee anxious to have finger in the pie" and be anxious to impose some sort of reg ulation. fact which will be re- ceived with enthusiasm by the fish and game enthusiasts of the state.
 The senate today voted to accept the roads. rivers and bridges com- 1nittee report favoring Senator E. w Christ's bill to make Corbin avenue. from West Main street. New Brit ain. to Upson's corner. Kensington. a part of the state trunk line sys- tenn.
 The bill has yet to go to the house of representatives. and if passed will be entertained by the appropria- tions committee. of which Senator Christ is chairman. The greatest stumbling block will be met in the office of Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald where the bin will take its place with numerous other approved road bills.

RAD|UM POISONING
 KILLS YOUNG BRIDE
Mildred CardoV, 22, Third Yic-
 tim of Waterbury Malady
WORKED IN CLOCK SHOP
Pointing Brushes Used in Painting Dials by Twirling Between Lips Four Years Ago Brings Death After Intense Pain,

Waterbury, March 19 Up - Mrs. Mildred Cardow, 22, former en- ploye of the Waterbury Clock com- pany, who has been i'll of radium poisoning at the Waterbury hospital for the past week, died early this morning. The immediate cause of death was given as septicaemia.
 Mrs. Cardow. who was a bride of six months. was admitted to the hospital February 29 and since then every known treatment has been used in an effort to save her life. She suffered intense pain, centering about the head and neck. The first symptoms were noted about four months ago and she was treated for sinus trouble. Failure to show im- provement led to a more careful study of her malady with a diag- nosis of septicaemia, probably due to radium poisoning.
 When she worked in the cloak shop nearly four years ago, she was employed in the radium dial de- pertinent and frequently used the same method of pointing the brushes necessary in painting the dials as did other girls. that of twirling them between the lips.
 Mrs. Cardow's death is the third attributed to radium poisoning here in the past two years. She is sur vived by her husband, William Car dow, an automobile mechanic.

 State Capitol, Hartford, March 19 Pp-After a debate which invoked criticism and cross- criticism of party line conduct in votes, the senate to- day rejected, on a roll call vote of 22 to 12, the bill providing for a commission to study conditions among dependent old aged persons. Previous to the debate on this bill, the senate had rejected, without comment, the bill authorizing coun- ties to set up old aged pensions.
 The house rejected three bills on moot questions, two of them reduc- ing the working hours of women, the other placing a tax on cigarettes to raise money to be diverted to the state highway uses.
 For the first time this session a committee saw it's report upset, when the house, after an unusual battle over the bill including calves and sheep with general slaughter house provisions of the statute, re- iected the measure by rising vote of 97 to 90.
 The committee on public health and safety had reported favorably. Because of what he indicated to be criticism from the outside, House Chairman Johnson of Manchester asked on behalf of the judiciary committee that the measure making mandatory the publication of mai- riage intentions. passed in the house last Friday, be recommitted to the committee. This was voted.
