COWDELL ELECTED
 COMMITTEE CLERK
Optimistic Group Organ izes Despite "Busi-
 ness Prospects"

Despite the fact that 1t cannot legally handle any legislation this year, the committee on constitu- tional amendments (joinD of tho general assembly exhibited new height of optimism yesterday aft ernoon when the members of that body met. and organized, electing Representative George H. Cowdell of Prospect to the post of clerk. By their actions the members of the committee showed that they were not to be as easily discour- aged as are the members of the committees on manufacturers, sale of lands, school funds for new counties and county seats. The committee on manufactur. CTS has had but one bill referred to 1t in 12 years. The name of the committee sounds all-important but that Is about the end of the thing as far as the representatives and senators "honorcd" with ap. pointment to the committee arc concerned.
 Even the members of the con- mittees on manufacturers, sale of lands and school funds for new countics and county seats can. if they have enough imagination, raise some kind of bills so that they can conduct hearings. How ever, the situation is different with the committee on constitutional amendments.
 Under the constitution of the state, amendments, in the session in which they are proposed, must be approved by the house and con- tinued until the next session. The committee on constitutional amend ments gets amendments at the sec ond session. The 1885 house, hav- ing approved no proposed athend- ments, there Is no business possi- ble for the joint committee this session.
 There arc half dozen amend ments proposed this session but they must be considered only by the constitutional amendments committee (housc).
 Therefore, Representative Cow dell and his colleagues on the con- stitutional amendments committee JoinD exhibited a very great amount of optimism yesterday when they took the time to organ ize. At least they were not to be discouraged by he outlook of "no business"

as a member of congrew, Mr Goas gained the distinction of learning just about all there is to know Of congressional procedure. Now ho plans to use this knowledge as a basis for detailed information serv- ice on what is going on at the cap- ital.
 The action of ex-Congressman Goss in esta ablishing a permanent office in Washington did not come as a surprise, however. Some time ago he intimated that he would comply with the wishes of the national republican party and act as one of the g. o. D. watch dogs" of the Capitol.

DEPUTY CORONER
 INDICATES LUZ
Finds No Criminal Negli- gence in Death of Mrs
 Margaret Hall

A finding by Deputy Coroner Walter w. Smyth absolves Charles Luf of South Britain from criminh responsibility for the death Ci Mrs Margaret Han in South Brit. ain on Jan. 14th. the woman's fatal injuries resulting when she two other women and gtrl were walking along the road during q snowstorm and were struck cj Lurs car. The finding issued yes terday and filed in superior court intimates that civil negligence car be charged to Luf.
 Mrs Hall was walking with Mrt Ernest Beardsley, Mrs Mary Stew enson and Jane Beardsley in South Britain when the accident hap. pened.
 Finding in Part
 A portion of Deputy Coronti Smyth's finding follows:
 Luis car was not equipped with chains and when his car began to skid us the result of. the application of the brake there was little he could do to control its course. When the women saw the lights of the car coming toward them they legan to scream and were apparently too frightened to do anything for their own safety. There was large blood spot on the highway where Mrs Hall was picked up s,fter the accident, which was about four feet from the east srly shoulder of the road and about where tho left wheels. Of Luis car, proceeding as he was, would normally travel. While there may be some basis for charging Luf with civil negligence. In view of all the evidence and the weather con- ditions that obtained on that night, cannot find that the said Charles Luf should be charged with such reckless- ness of conduct or gross dr wanton careiessness to amount to criminal negligence.
 1 find, therefore, that the death of the said Margaret Hall was due to fractured skull, a lacerated brain, in- tracraniai hcmorrhage, and a compound fracture of both bones of the right leg, sustain- cd in the manner heretofore described, and that the said death was not due to the criminal negligence of the said Charles Luf,

This Is the fourth and con. cluding story on Watcrbury's haven for homeless, fricnd- less men, who reside In crudcIy constructed shacks In that section of the "Old Golf Lots" known as ''HOllyWOOd." Hunger, want, despair, booze, brawls, sickness are Oftcn- times just incidents in life in this squalid sector. Some of the cOlOny's leading citizens are resisting the temptations that would destroy completely their morale and the hope of a better tomorrow.
