Senate Killed The
 Birth Control Bill
 Passed By House
The Measure Now Goes Back to the House Because of Disagreeing Action - Women on Jury Measure w a s Killed in House After Long Debate

The Senate rejected the House amendment to the birth control bill, passed by the lower body yes- terday, and then rejected the bill which Senator Bergin termed a vicious act". The measure now goes back, to the House on disa- greeing action.
 The appropriations committee also reported favorably on the re- quest of the liquor control com mission for an appropriation of s19,000, and passed an act validat- ing the liquor control bill from the time of passage.
 The amended jury service bill for women came into the House from the Senate. where it was pas sed Monday. and on the suggestion of Raymond E.. Baldwin,, republic can leader, the question was divi- ded and the bill was taken up for debate under suspension of the rules.
 As amended in the Senate, women could serve on juries if they requested, but the service would not be mandatory. Mrs. Josepha Whitney, New Haven, democrat. offe red an amendme ent which would act to strike out the Senate amend meEt. Under her amendment all women would be summoned for service, but those who objected would be excused.
 Representative William Larash, Orange, republican,, was opposed to the house amendment, and Repre- sentative Epaphroditus Peck, Bris- tol republican, was opposed to the bill and both amendments. He said he did not believe the major ity of women wished to serve on juries.
 Mrs Marjorie Farmer, Darien. favored the bill as originally drawn, but stated she would vote for the Whitney amendment.
 The Whitney amendment was defeated TO to 35, and the house then took up the senate amend ment. Mrs Whitney objected to this amendment, and said the wo- men would rathre lose the entire bill than accept 1t with such an amendment. The house then re- jectcd the amendment, and started debate on the original bill.
 The house finally defeated the measure, Al to 102. and then re- cessed until 2:30 o'clock.

BRITAIN CALLS. VOTE A BREACH
 OF THE TREATY
Abolition of the Oath of Allegiance However is Not Called Act of Seces= sion

London, May 4.-(UP)-Britain considers the action of the Irish Free State in abolishing the oath of allegiance breach of treaty, J. H. Thomas, dominions secretary told the house of commons to-day.
 The government does not regard the abolition as affecting the duty of allegiance to the king or as amounting to an act of secession, he said.
 Allegiance of members of the Free State parliament does not depend on swearing an oath" he said. Failure to take the oath is not in itself a repudiation of all legiance. However, this does not alter the fact that his majestys government considers removal of the oath breach of the treaty."
