Some Protests Made That His Measure Was Uncon- x stitutional- Motion to Reconsider in the House
 May Meet With Defeat

Possibility of a motion in the house of representatives at Hart ford tomorrow to reconsider the Friday action of that body in pass ing the bill of Senator George T. Culhane of this city transferring all closed bank receiverships from the present acting officials to the office of the state bank !commis- sioner appeared strong today. However, despite claims flashed throughout the state over the weekend to the effect that the Culhane bill contained unconstitu- tional clauses, it was felt that such a motion would be defeated if of fered and that it might not be pro- posed in view of the overwhelm- ing support given the Culhane bill in the house last week.
 Voted For The Bill.
 Several members of the judi ciary committee. including Senate Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley or Westport, republican, and House Chairman Daniel J. Hickey of Stamford, republican, voted for the Culhane bill although their com mittee originally offered an unfaV- orabde- report on the proposed measure.
 Under parliamentary rules, eith- CT Senator Bradley or Representa- tive Hickey could offer a motion for reconsideration tomorrow. They voted with the majority and there- fore are eliSible to move for recon under the rules. There

 Staskiewicz, whose name was almost legendary in middle Massachusetts, died raying maniac at. Worcester state hospital while policemen stood at the bed side, hoping for deathbed con- fession that never came.
 Justice had pursued this gray haired old man with the persist ency of his shadow, and even as lie was stricken with his last ill., ness, authorities were seeking grounds for prosecution in a skull and bones found last year on the shore of Lake Chargoggagoggman- chauggagoggchaubunagungmaugg

SECOND CARRIE

 WORK IN KANSAS
One Cafe Was Smashed to Pieces Claims Her
 Sons Were Drinking

Medicine Lodge, Kan, May 13- |(UP)--Deputy Sheriff J. B. Har- bough didn't know what to do |ahai2t Mssiicine sI.oagess aafser day Carrie Nation today.
 eff Doc'1f sign a complaint Ill serve it," he said, ''but the next move is up to him."
 Saturday night Doc, was too amazed to do anything but back into corner and watch Mrs J. D. Montgomery, 60 years old and weighing less than 100 pounds, smash everything breakable in his cafe with hammer.
 Doe" Egbert recently came to Medicine Lodge from New Mexico. He may never have heard that Car rie Nation started her hatchet work in saloons here before going on to Wichita, New York and elsewhere with her temperance crusade.
 Sons Were Drinking
 Mrs Montgomery explained that her sons-Hal, Frank and Lessey had been getting something to drink and she thought she knew where.
 So she took hammer off the kitchen shelf, called her daughter in-law, Lessey's wife, and started for Egbert's cafe.
 She didn't knock and she didn't just turn the knob and walk in. In- stead, she smashed the doors plate glass front and stepped through.
 Inside she cracked down with her hammer until every receptacle that could contain beer or stronger stuff was, as once was said of glassware touched by Mrs Nations hathcet, 'smasned to smithereens."
 Mrs Montgomery explained she was not emulating Carrie Nation. It was her own idea, she said.

 The offer was made in a letter signed by Hilda Phelps Hammond. veteran foe of Long and chairman of the women's committee of Louisiana. The committee has waged lengthy battle in Louisiana against the senator.
 Afraid of "Huey"
 "Slowly but surely it is dawning upon the American people," the letter said, that the senate is afraid of Huey Long," He has, the letter continued, terrified the sen- ate into submission.
 Mrs Hammond noted that the senate today ''on the insistence of Mir Long, is to hear charges made by MT Long against MT Farley Postmaster James A. Farley), and that he called on the senate to face the music" and to rid the public service of "monstrous fig-

 Washington. May 13-(UP)-A fighting president was said today to have emerged from weekend conference with political advisers.
 Despite the great mass pressure brought to bear on the White House by extensively organized lobbies, and at the risk of the po- litical animosity of veterans organ izations and Father Charles E.. Coughlin's National Union for So- cial Justice, the chief executive was still determined to veto the Patman infationary bonus bill.
 Moreover, President Roosevelt was represented as weary of con- gressional dilly-dallying and would insist upon enactment of the en- tire New Deal legislative program at this session.
 No Compromise in View
 His conferees were understood to have detected no indication of a willingness to compromise.
 Father Coughlin turned his guns directly upon the White House last night. Speaking directly to the chief executive with his radio audience listening, the priest urged MT Roos- evelt to sign the bonus bill, repre- senting that "the millions who sup ported you" wanted him to sign, whereas those against the bill seek to wheedle you into a fatal trap"
 Coughlin's words only supple mented pressure brought by the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Thousands or tel egrams continued to pour into the White House. urging favorable ac- tion on the Patman bill. The Vet erans of Foreign Wars frankly seek
