Senate Democrats
 Acted In Unison

on the Waller resolution was or dered. If there was to be any de- lection in democratic ranks here was the ideal chance for t f0 come forth. However, q count of the ballot revealed IS votes against the Waller resolution and IT for 1t. The democratic line-up in the Senate had remained un- broken.
 When Senator Alcorn called for suspension of rules to consider the McNiff resolution, the second to be heard by the Senate, a ver- bal vote was declared by the pre- siding officer, Lieutenant Govern- or Roy c. Wilcox, republican, to favor such a move. This was ques- toned by Senator Bcrgin who asked for a rising vote. This found the eighteen democratic senators voting solidly against suspinsion of rules.
 AS a result of this move on the part of the democratic majority in the Senate the McNiff resolution was ordered tabled for the ca1en- dar. 1t must remain on the cal- endar for three full legislative days before it can again be brought up for action. That means that the bill will probably not come up for a vote until next week. By that time it is hoped 8 report on the district court bill may be forthcoming.
 Senator Joseph H. Lawlor was directly responsible for action against the McNift resolution. Tn an interview before the Senate convened to-day he declared that he had no personal objection to the reappointment of Judge Me- Mfr. but he believed there should be some consideration given to patronage in this particulaK court before he Is renamed. He pointed out that the prosecutor, clerk and assistant clerk are all republicans. This. he stated, was solely the re- ult of the Larkin ripper bill passed by the 1881 Legislature.
 The ripper bill provided that if the two judges of the common pleas court did not concur on the appointment of the court officials those in office would hold over. Judge McNiff. of course. did not concur with Judge Finn, demo- crat, so the prosecutor, clerk and his assistant remained in office. Senator Lawlor maintained that the democrats should be given one of these offices before Judge McNiff is approved.
 In connection with this there will be hearing on Tuesday. Feb- ruary 21- on a bill introduced by Senator Joseph A. Hackett of Wa terbury repeating the ripper bill and restoring the right to name the court officials to the senior judge as was the practice for- merlY.

 For Years In
 Button Industry
Dies in Milford After Illness of Several Months = Married Fanny M. Chatfield who Survives Him Came From Historical Stowe Line, Country Builders

Nelson L. Stowe, e7, the last sur- viving member of the 14th Regi- ment, Connecticut Volunteers of the Civil War. who resided in this city before enlisting in that regi- ment and who was connected with the Button industry here, died Monday at his home in Milford, after an illness of several months.
 While in this city he married Fanny M. Chatfield who survives him. He was a descendant of the Stowe family which played such an important role in the settling and development of Milford and whose ancestors took part in all wars in which the country was in- volved. He was a direct descendant of Captain Stephen Stowe, the martyr. who went to the succor of the brig load of American prison- CTS the British left in Milford dur ing the Revolutionary War. Cap- toin Stowe took smallpox from the prisoners while nursing them and died from the disease.
 The deceased enlisted in this city in the 14th Connecticut Volun- teers, August 20, 1862 and was as- signed to the 14th Regiment Band with which organization he stayed
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-02-15

until the Regiment was mustered out, May 30, 1865. He was in the Army of the Potomac and took part in the battles of Antietam and Chancellorsville and is men, tioned in history of that battle as one of the musicians who started a concert to stop a rout of the 132nd Penn. Volunteers who were attacked by Stonewall Jackson.
 He lived in Milford since he re- tired from business 10 years ago and has been blind for the past two weeks. His father was Cap tain Frederick Stowe, the last sur vivor of the War of 1872 in Mill ford, and who was with General Decatur when he subdued the AL gerian Pirates.
 Freelove Baldwin Stowe, in whose honor the Milford chapter of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution Is named, was his great grandmother.
 The funeral took place this af- ternoon at 2:30 in Milford with Rev. c. Everett Knollmeyer, rec tor of St. Peter's Episcopal church of that city, officiating. Burial took place in the family plot in Milford cemetery.

flying the democratic majority of one in the senate. The McNiR resolution gave the democrats their second victory of the day in the Senate.
 The first came when a resolu- ton remaining Charles E. Waller of New London judge of the court of common pleas there was brought up. Senator Alcorn spoke In favor of the bill as did also Senator Costello of New London, but opposition was strenuously voiced by Senator William Fitz- gerald of Norwich, deputy state labor commissioner, who pointed out that there was Q democratic candidate for the office too.
 Senator Frank Bergin of New Haven, democratic majority lead- CT, said he was sorry to see such a situation exist. He declared that the only solution of such judgeship squabbies was to return the power of appointment of com- mon pleas judges to the govern or in whose hands 1t rested until two years ago when the republican legislators forced Q change in a statute that had existed for half a century.
 There was no opposition voiced by the democrats to the motion to suspend rules, so a secret ballot

representatives of the aid asso- citations of the police and fire de- partments, when Mayor Hayes pro- posed that the representatives get the sentiment of their departments as to a further reduction. The same procedure has been taken, 1t is understood, with heads of the teachers association in the city.
 City employees were given a 10 per cent cut in wages effective January 1, 1892. with a resultant saving of approximately $340,000.
 In discussing the wage reduce tion reports today, Mayor Hayes said the city is no different from other cities in the state who arc having the same difficulties in the collection of taxes.
 Mayor Hayes doesn't know what the nature of reduction would be, provided 1t Is definitely decided upon, he said. Whether 1t would be Tn the form of another 10 per cent straight slash or a reduction on a sliding scale, or. the laying off for a week, has not been con- sidered yet.

On the same day the appropria- tions committee will also hear two bills in which local firemen and po- licemen are interested. One asks $4,S00 for the state firemen's asso- citation the other $2,400 for the po- lice organization.
 Representative Thoms of Water bury participated in the fight to- day over the. Ansonia city court Representative Kieley of that city introduced a bill seeking to have one of the two judges of the court made Q deputy; likewise, one of the two prosecutors made a depu- ty. He declared that this was in keeping with the economy program advocated by all state leaders and was not partisan move. Repre- sentative Leon Mccarthy of An sonia, republican, opposed the Kieley bill. The Judiciary court returned an unfavorable report on the Kieley bill which both the sponsor and Representative Thoms. a member of the Judiciary con- mittee not signing the report. at- tackled on the floor of the House today. The democratic minority AC1AOAs JOhA Andk h~ ham. of Hartford also opposed the report. Representative Thoms succeeded in forcing a rising vote in the House on the bill. It was rejected on party lines, ITO to 70.
 The House today rejected a bill, recommended by the judiciary committee, taxing and licensing credit bureaus and similar organ nations. The Waterbury Cham Der of Commerce, Merchants Bu- reau. and Credit Bureau opposed the bill at the hearing yesterday. Majority Leader Baldwin of Strat- ford said passage of the bill would hurt the purpose for which these groups were formed.
 There will be a hearing on Thursday, February 23. on a bill introduced by Representative Fitz- patrick of Beacon Falls allowing monthly payment of tax bills in- stead of the present system of semi-annual payments. It is not believed that much support can be rallied for the measure, as most officials declare that this would involve so much bookkeeping as

 The budget for the last two years was $90,400, so cut of $13,- 900 is being given the local conn mon pleas court this year. Opposi- tion to this is expected.

to increase government costs and thus increase taxes still higher.

Next Wednesday the judiciary committee will hold a hearing on bill introduced by Representa- tive Hogan of Torrington calling for the election of states attor- neys instead of their appointment by the judges of the superior court. On the same day the bill proposed by Senator Bergin eliminating the office of coroner and medical cx- aminer is to be heard. Both bills are being opposed by mem- bers of the Waterbury Bar Asso- citation as well as the legal frater- nifty throughout the state.
 On the same day 8 bill of Sem atoE Joseph A. Hackett of Water bury to grant state policemen . full months vacation annually with pay will be heard.
 Two other bills of Representa- tive Hogan to be heard at the same time are those labled an act concerning the state police and an act naming a deputy state fire marshal in the state police de- partment.
 On Thursday, February 23, a bill sponsored by Representative John D. Thoms of Waterbury will be heard by the committee on mo- tor. vehicles. It proposes that the license fee for all public service operators be increased to $5. but that a renewal cost only $2.

PNEUMONIA DEATH
RATE CUT IN HALF
Boston Physicians Report Ef-
fectiveness of Serum in One
of Four Major Types.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE, June 16-The pos
ssbility Of cutting In half the death
sate from at least one of the four major
types Of pneumonia by injection Of
serum into the veins Of patients was
announced today before the American
Medical Association.
Results Of two years OF experiments
10 learn the practical value Of the
serum treatment for pneumonia. which
ranks second as the cause of death
among people in early adult life, were
reported by Drs. Gaylord Anderson and
Roderick Heffron of Boston, Mass. The
tests were made to determine advisa-
biltty of continuing production Of the
serum, usually made from the blood OF
horses by an expensive process.
Cuts Death Rate In Half.
xhe study showed that there were
hess than half as many deaths among
patients treated with the serum for
type l pneumonia as among patients
not given the serum. 1t also was fairly
successful in treatment of type 2, but
did not produce so great a reduction
IN deaths. The serum is usually con-
stdered chiefly valuable in treating
these two types.
The great problem, now that the
serum's usefulness has been proved. the
doctors said, is to develop method for
wider distribution of the serum, while
conserving the supply as much as pos
sible because of its high cost The
serum is manufactured by the Massa-
cbusetts State Department of Health.
Serum offers the only practical
method of controlling pneumonia, which
outranks all other infectious diseases
except tuberculosis as a cause of death.
Must BE Given Early.
More than half the cases of pneu-
inonia in young people are type l or
type 2, so it Is advised that the serum
be given even before it Is determined
what type has attacked patient 1t
must be given within the first four
days Of the distase, as it is of little
value after that time, when the disease
has become more firmly intrenched.
The serum tests were made through
cut Massachusetts, in Is areas by So
physicians, chosen to try it on their
pneumonia patients and report the re-
suits. From 1881 up to May Is of
this year these physicians had treated
<31 patients, Of whom 218 had type 1
pneumonia and 81 type 2. The death
rate for the entire group was 1879 per
cent, but among the type cases the
rate Was 10.6. In the group Of pa
tients not receiving the serum the
death rate was 25.9 per cent, more
than twice that of the type / cases
treated with the serum.
