Local Representatives Among Leaders in Fight for
 LegaIized Pari-NutdeI Betting on Horses

State Capitol, Hartford, March 20 - Connecticut's horse racing bill, adopted in the house here yesterday, was passed largely due to the staunch support given the measure by the legislators of New Haven county. While other coun- ties showed wavering strength in behalf of the bill and sturdy oppo- eition, New Haven county's repre- sentatives showed an overwhclIn- ing sentiment in favor of 1egaliz- ing pari-mutuel betting on horses. Waterbury's two representatives, Of course, voted with the victors.
 The passage of the bill by the close vote of 129 to 121 was the result of long, arduous work by members of the house in support of the measure. Representative William Bradley of Beacon Falls. veteran member of the house, was responsible for many of the votes received in favor of the bill. Repre- Sentative Daniel J. Mahaney of Waterbury did considerable mis- eionhry work.
 Y Representative Claude Badger of Wolc0tt, republican, voted in favor Of the bill. Representative George Cowdell, republican, of Prospect voted against 1t. Representatives William McDermott and Joseph Jackson of Naugatuck. democrats. supported the bill while Repre- sentative Charles H. Jackson of Cheshire, republican, was against it.

The charter of Casper s. Davis, Jr. Post, No. .136, American Legion, was formally closed by vote of the Post at the regular March business meeting, last night at the former office building of the Waterville Cutlery Company on lower Boyden street. Charter membership privi- leges accure to all members who had filed their applications with the Post between the dates of November 9th 1884,, the date on which the Post was organized and March 18th, 1895. These include exemption from the payment of an initiation fee and the privilege of having ones name inscribed on the charter membership roll. A total of fifty-Six members was reported last night and there are still a few more which have been filed, but which were not reported. There is every reason to believe that the charter roll will contain sixty or more names. This is a most grati- flying showing when it is remem- bered that the membership quota for the Waterville Post, the young est in the state--was set at forty five by the department membership chairman.
 It was voted to accept the in- vitation of the lodges now using the old Cutlery Company building to use the building as the regular meeting place for the Waterville Post. ast nights meeting had been called there to give the members the opportunity of inspecting the quarters as to their suitability for use by the Post and the invitation was unanimously accepted by the forty members who attended. The building is conveniently and cen- rtally located and has remarkable possibilities for development into a permanent egion home.
 A special meeting of the Post will take place on Tuesday evening of next week to take formal action on the constitution and bylaws. A full attendance is expected.
 Plans were made for the official visit of Department Commander Arthur Baldwin, of Milford, who will come to Waterville on the evening of Tuesday, April 23rd. He will be accompanied by the crack degree team of the Milford Post which will conduct a special pub lie initiation of the entire local lHeIuUSTSHIp. ne event VIII IdhS place in Sprague Grammar school gymnasium. At the same time the officers of the, recently organized Auxiliary Unit of Davis Post will be formally installed by the de- partment president, Mrs Sidney Feiner, of Clinton. There will al- so be a group imitation of the unit members. The occasion will mark the first public appearance of, the Junior Fife, Drum & Bugle Corps, of the Uost. This was as- sured by David Grenier, the di- rector of the Corps, who was the guest of honor at last nights Post meeting. It is expected that dele- gations will also be present from enighboring Posts and Auxiliaries.

Offices here
Many persons were inclined to
laugh off the application of the rail-
road for relief from taxation during
its emergency. Its claim at that time
that it would be forced to cease op-
erations unless assisted was widely
termed a bluff" Not until applica-
ton was filed for authority TO aban-
don service was the seriousness of the
| situation appreciated.
Annapolis May Be Cut Off.
Should George Weems Williams, re-
ceiver for the line, prove in his testi-
mony to the commission Monday that
the road cannot operate at a profit
and there is no solution to its diff
culties, there is no power which can
force him to continue operations.
And should the authority then be
granted. Annapolis would be left de-
void of any rail service. Other COM
munities and many institutions along
the railroads right of way would be
adversely affected and, it is stated
| seriously embarrassed"

emy, but to the country at large.
| Dern pointed out that the electric

except for troop movements. He
asked that no authority be granted
until the War Department can make
