 According to information obtained by the Times. the assembly may cre- ate two additional judgeships here, giving two of the appointments then open to republicans and two to democrats.

Backing hsm were Attorney Arthur khipman of Washington, Represen- tatives Seeley and Wheaton of Washington, Representative Hodge scf Roxbury, Representative Rumpf of Darien and Senator Whittiesey Of Ancient charters. given by King Charles IT to the cofonists in Litch- field county before the time of the revolution, were cited as reasons why the legislature has no right to vest title to various tracts in the city Of Waterbury.
 Where Is the Gold
 These charters, 1t was declared, gave the proprietors of the commu- sritfes all the rights of seigneurs. All Rtkey had to do to hold their rights swas to give one-fifth of the gold and minerals realized from the land to the king oe England. Ex-Judge Hub bard read the complete charter safauted the proprietors of Litchfield by the colonial governor, Saltonstall. which he had received from Charles III.
 The charter, he declared, gave the tIrOprietorS more Tar reaching pow ter than the colony of Connecticut, Itself. had. Therefore. he stated, the legislature hag no right to take away these rights and privileges and give them to the city of Waterbury. TO further strengthen his argument, ez-Judge Hubbard declared that he is direct descendant of one of the ! original proprietors.
 King Hadn't Been Paid One of the committee asked ex- Judge Hubbard if the rental of one fifth of the gold and minerals is be- ling paid to the king of England reg sulariy. If not he claimed that the laim of the descendants of the pro- prietors may be declared null and void. Judge Hubbard said that traces of gold are being found. Sem ator Leete, senate leader. suggested that Judge Hubbard inform the king of England of this as that country could undoubtedly appreciate lit stie financial ard right now.

ANOTHER PUZZLE

Hartford, Conn, April 17.-CUP) Governor Wilbur l.. Cross an- nounced to-day, through his exec utive secretary, Kenneth Wynne, that he had withheld approval of a measure which would deprive the democratic town council of Middle town of right held by the council since 1883 of appointing the city court prosecutor and give that ap- pointive power to the republican judges.
 A statement issued by Wynne said the governor considered vetoing the bill but felt the matter was too pure ly local to warrant such action. At the same time, 1t was said, he was unwilling by signing the measure to give 'tacit approval to :. purely par tisan motive"
 The bill will become a law with out his signature, three days after 1t was submitted to the governor.
 The statement points out that a prosecutor appointed by the judges is likely to be swayed by their opin- ion in his official acts.
 A democratic lawyer. John Tobin, has held the post since 1922. The bill. said the executive statement. unquestionabIy was intended to per- init the republican judges to ap- point a member of their own party.
 "rhis type of political manipula- ton does not meet with the approval Of the governor" Wynne declared.
 The bill in question is substitute measure drawn up by Represent alive Lawenthal, republican, Middle town. and was disapproved by the MiddIetown town meeting and town council.

 In explaining his bill Attorney Thoms declaved that the measure gives the city nothing more than it Criginaly had but is merely a valid- ating act in order to make up for the error in the revision of 1902.

 their children to school without first having their blood polluted by a lot of COW pox."
 Mrs Ahlgren. small, motherly woman, explained how she and her husband. believing vaccination un- healthy, had battled for years with the Avon authorities when they lived there.
 Time after time they were pro- secuted for failure to send their chill dren to school vaccinated, she said. They fought the prosecution until all available funds for legal assistance were exhausted.
 Then they gave in and had the children vaccinated, she said. The vaccination took" on three of the children but left no trace on the arms of the other two.
 All of the children atetnded school at Avon but when the ,Ahlgrens moved to Hartford last year they were ordered to have the two un- scared children vaccinated. They refused and the children were turned away from school. Once each week, Mrs Ahlgren sent the children to school but always they were turned away.
 State Representative William l.. | officer for the Connecticut board of education, warned the parents they would be arrested if they did not submit to the law. This was last February and no action has been taken, according to Mrs Ahlgren.
 Reimers, leader of the fight for repeal of compulsory vaccination. became interested in the case and sought to precipitate an arrest for a test. When he asked Larash why he had not prosecuted the parents, Reimer said, the latter complained of personal ailment, laughed and said he hadn't had time to bother with it.
 We feel .itf these parents are arr rested the legislature will see the folly of the existing law and re- 1 peal it." Reimers asserted.

HOW ID PREPARE YOUR GAME HEADS
 F0R PRESERVATION

For the temporary preservation of hunters trophies, such as ent- lered game heads and the hides of carnivorouS animals, no special tools are necessary. A good hunt- ing or skinning knife, or even a pocket knife will do For preSer- vation, salt is necessary and should always be a part of the outfit. To get the most satisfaction out of your trophies, have them mount ed as soon as possible. They lose elasticity and the taxidermist can not do his best with them, other wise.
 Divide the skin in a circle around the neck, with part of shoulder and breast point, with plenty of briSket. Cut from a point back of each horn, down to the brisket. Never cut down the back of the neck to the shoulder blades. Thence down the sides to the brisket. Never cut the throat as it will show when mounted.
 Cut around horns carefully. A heavy screWdriver is very useful in prying the skin loose around the horns without cutting the skin. Cut off ears close to skull and cut meat away at base Then go down the skull but be careful not to cut through the skin around the eyes. Preserve the eyelids. Use your left finger as a guide on outside of skin so that you will feel sure you are not cutting into the eyelids.
 Cut the lips close to the skull, leaving inside skin of lips attached to hide. Pass knife between outer skin and inner mucous lining of lips and dress slit with salt.
 Be sure and cut scalp plenty long including brisket Goats. sheep and caribou are often short Ot skin when Shrunk.
 Remove loose flesh, salt thor oughly and roll up for few hours then resalt, stretch and dry. Be careful not to let skin dry in folds Give attention to soap, rather than to cleaning the skull. Pa pier mache forms are used in mounting and only top of skull is needed.
 Watch the wrinkles. No not let them form. Where skin laps and
