 An almost unprecedented array of state troopers, motorcycle offi- cers and deputy sheriffs escorted the bus, which was ironically marked special" on the 26-min- ute trip to the prison.
 Murton and Irving were hatless while the immaculate Faber wore light gray felt hat and a gray top coat.
 The bus moved through the prison gates and parked within a stone's throw of the death house. The trio, manacled to each other and to deputies, were hustled out and along the walk leading to the grim one-story brick structure almost within the shadow of Bun- ker Hill monument.

 WAS POSTPONED
(Continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) personnel of the state police force from 125 to 175 and provide for highway patrol, by sending the measure to the appropriations committee, as was done by the senate.
 The support measure provides that three-f -fourths of the expense of the police department be borne by the highway department. It was amended in the house yester- day to stipulate that not more than $325,000 be taken from the high way fund for this purpose and sent back to the senate, which had passed 1t in original form.
 T h conference committee chosen by the house to meet with the senate group is composed of Representatives Noah Swayne, re- publican, Darien, and Samuel Shet- han, democrat, Weston.
 Opinion of Lieut.. Governor
 An effort to block commitment of the personnel bill to the appro- priations group, offered by Speak CT William Hanna, was voted down.
 Hanna declared the appropria- tions committee note the proper body to receive the measure and was told by Swayne that:
 Well, that is the opinion of the lieutenant governor"
 'I've heard that opinion" Han na renIied "and I haven't changed my mind"
 Signed Before Recall A house committee, appointed to call upon the governor to recall a bill passed permitting chattel mortgages on farm machinery, ar- rived just as the governor was plotting his signature on the meas ure.
 When the house was informed the bill was signed it was decided to let it go as passed and affix an amendment later in the session. Recalled from the expressing clerk was another bill giving the motor vehicle commission author ity to establish uniform traffic regulations.
 The house concurred with the senate in appropriating $333.34 to the widow of the late Senate Chap lain Edward P. Aver, Branford.
 Bill Passed By House
 Among bills passed by the house were those providing:
 Prohibiting the docking of horses tails after July 1, 1885 un- der penalty of $500 fine and jail term.
 That farmers must blow under their land not later than April 20, instead of April 10, to prevent spread of the European corn borer. Seeds must not be taken from scallop beds during season.
 That owners, rather than opera tors of automobiles, be held re- sponsible for falling to install proper signalling devices.

and finds the issues for the truck ing company.
 What They Claimed
 In Dailey's case, the claim was based on wages due from Oct 2, 1883 to Jan 9th, 1884, in which a balance of $254.65 was claimed. In Dingwell's case, the claim was based on wages due from Sept 30. 1893 to Oct 27, 1893, in which a balance of $10S.46 was claimed.
 Judge Finn states that Daley ac- cepted a $10 payment from the defendant in March of 1884, after n conference between the defend- art and Labor Commissioner Tone. In reference to this case, Judge Finn states: The rate claimed is for wages fixed by an arbitration board of employers and employees in the trucking business, the rate to be retroactive to the date of strike of the trucking employees throughout the state.
 Claim Through MIRA
 "After leaving the employ of the defendant, the plaintiff made claim through the local MIRA for wages. This claim was prosecuted to effect before State Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone. In just what capacity Commissioner Tone acted, does not clearly appear in evidence.
 "A hearing was held by Com missioner Tone and as result, the defendant paid $10, in addition to that already paid to the plaintifT The defendant claimed it was paid at the order or suggestion of Com missioner Tone and that 1t was a full settlement of the plaintiffs claims. I am forced to accept this explanation. If an employe submits his claim to an arbiter, whether as a government official or as an in- divdual for decision, and later ac- cepts and uses the benefit of the decision. he should not then be al- lowed to sue upon the claim.
 Cannot Go Behind Award
 "The plaintiff does not appeal from the decision of Commissioner Tone, but seems to think he can overlook that phase of the contro- versy entirely. To allow the plain tiff to recover on this action I must go behind and alter an award d. ready made. This cannot legally be done."
 In Dingwells case, the court states the claim is based on a wage scale fixed by an arbitration board. "The defendant denies," says the decision, "that it ever agreed to pay the scale fixed by the arbitra- ton board. Neither the evidence nor the pleadings brings before me the question of the right of this b ard to impose on any employer or employe, the scale fixed by it. The sole question here is whether or not the defendant agreed with the plaintiff to be so bound. I can- not find that this is a fact"
 Daley claimed he worked 983

hours at, 55 cents per hour for which he was to receive $540.65. He claimed he was paid $286. Dingwell claimed he worked 203

with no one dissenting. It was also ordered placed on file.
 Bradley Objected
 On the question of rejecting the bill Senator Culhane first gained the floor and asked for it's passage. Senator J. Kenneth Bradley of Westport, republican leader, ob- jected on the ground that suspen- sion of the rules was necessary for such procedure. Senator Culhane promptly moved for suspension of the rules and was supported by the democrats and socialists. but a two-thirds vote was necessary and this not being obtained the motion was declared not carried.
 Senator Culhane however, gained a victory as the bill is now tabled for printing in the calendar and will be taken up next Thursday by the Senate. An effort to amend the bill by Senator Culhane also failed on the objection of Senator Brad lev, who pointed out that the Sem ate actually was not considering the bill and hence could not act on an amendment to it.
 The original Culhane bill called for an abatement of all interest and lien fees on taxes paid before october l, 1895. Senator Culhane today declared that next Thursday he would present an amended bill granting abatements if the taxes are paid within sixty days.
 Several other unfavorable re- ports on Culhane measures con- sidered by the finance committee have been held up due to the alli- ance between democrats and so- cialists on these same measures.

A strange pagan belief still exists In
England, in the superstition that any
new building will be unsafe or un-
lucky unless human or animal blood
be split on it before completion. Not
long ago q workman fell from the top
of Stratford-on-Avon's lofty new
Shakespeare theater, and was killed,
whereupon one Of his fellow-workmen
remarked: 'sThat will save blooding
the new building" Being questioned,
he explained that If no one met with
an accident, shedding blood during the
erection, it was customary to Kill
some small animal on the site, to en-
sure the buildings future safety.
