Legislative Committee
OnLiquor Act Named
Representative ThOms Of Waterbury Chosen to Form
uIate New State Control Act - Small
Loan Bill Starts Battle

pearing for the small loan COM
panies IN opposition to the bill came
in for several caustic remarks from
former Representative william
Lyons Of Norwalk. So did Cover
nor Wilbur L. Cross, Mayor Thomas
j. Spellacy Of Hartford and Attor-
I1ey John Buckley, state cop. leader
and chairman Of the liquor control
commission.
Two years ago similar bill in
troduced by Senator Telesco was
passed by both house and senate.
after the 1885 session of the leg
stature was over. The legislators
had no opportunity to re-pass the
bill over the governors veto.
After telling Fitzgerald that he
should be ashamed to be repre-
reminding him when he ran around
with patches on his clothes when
he was a youngster, ex-Represen-
tative Lyons asserted that strange
situation exists. He called attention
to the fact that Attorney Fitz-
gerald and Mayor Spellacy are lined
up on one side of the political fence
aiding the email loan companies,
is Attorney Buckley, right-hand
man of j. Henry Roraback. Spellacy
and Buckley were both absent from
the hearing.
No Veto
Lyons also declared that a clause
should be tackled on to the Telesca
bill making it effective at once so
"our dead old governor won't be
able to pull veto out of his pocket
when 1t is too late to do anything
about it."
Senator Telesca criticised the
amount of lobbying that has been
going ON against the bill and said
that considerable money is being
spent to beat the measure.
Attorney Fitzgerald was not dis
turbed by the attack from Lyons. He
stated that he was using his prerog-
alive as practicing attorney to
appear fer his clinets, the small
loan companies. He said that the
concerns could not operate on a
two per cent basis.
Former Senator Albert E. Eccles,
socialist, of Bridgeport declared
that if the bank committee fails to
report fayorably on the Telesca bill
he hopes the members of the group
will suffer from disturbed sleep the
rest of their lives.
Senator George T. Culhane Of
Waterbury is senate chairman of the
bank committee.

Democrat Legislative RepOrterl


state Capitol, Hartford, April r.
Especial to the Democrat) Repre-
sentative John d. Thoms Of Water
bury has been named member Of
the sub-co committee Of the legislative
judiciary committee that will draw
up the 1897 liquor control bill for
presentation to both branches Of the
general assembly. On the commit
tee with Representative Thoms are
Representative Noah Swayne Of
Darien,. Senator Raymond J. Devlin
Of New Haven and Senator E. Gay
nor Brennan Of Stamford.
Floor Debates
While not the most important leg
islation pending in the 1887 session
the bill promises to cause, possibly,
the greatest amount of floor debate
Of the current general assembly.
The committee 81 which Rep
resentative Thoms is member Is
working evenings trying to whip
bill into shape but it is not likely
that the work of the group will be
ompleted for some time to come.
There were over rs bills intro
duced this session amending the
liquor control act Of 1895. Out Of
this pile Of proposed legislation the
subcommittee has the task of pick
ing out the good points and discard
ing the bad ones. Then. when its
work is completed it will report to
the full judiciary committee which
will, in turn, do a little changing
around for itself, also.
Two years ago Representative
Thoms was a member of the sub
committee of the judiciary commit
tee which drew UP the 1885 at. Re-
Numbering the difficult task that he
was confronted with at that time
he was reluctant to go on the SUBJ
committee again this session but was
named, nevertheless.
Small Loans
Senator Anthony Telesca of Tor
rington started something when he
introduced his bill reducing the in
terest rate on small loans to 2 per
cent per month. At hearing be-
fore the banks committee of the leg
islature yesterday afternoon, some
of the bitterest personalities heard
SO far this session were injected into
the arguments for and against the
measure. Attorney David E. FitZ-

Carnegie medal Andy was handy in
blocking, holding, tackling, riding, pull
ing and discouraging an opponent.
Bill Ross, a Dillon resident, will am
plify this description of Thorine. One
season Bill went through two Thorine
ordeals. A disturbing trick of Andy's
was to slip q finger in a belt loop.
He could do it almost blindfolded. An
Thorine gave anyone the finger.
Cut Loops, and Friendship
The following season when the teams
stepped out on the floor at Bozeman,
Bill Ross wore belt on the outside
of his trunks There were no loops
to hang to; they had been clipped.
The strategy was designed to be the
equivalent of cutting off a Thorine
finger.
Bill and Thorine always fought like
cats and dogs while a game was in
progress Off the field, they were chums.
Their friendship was very nearly sew

Ross maneuver, shortly after the game
in question got under way. After a
tip-off, Ross tore for the basket. Thor

Thorine called time. Going over to
Ross he inspected the loopless trunks,
thus discovering the reason for the
