'HAPPY'-cIo

By Drew Pearson and Fred Allen, Go Authors of The Washington Merry Go- Round.
 Behind the scenes, Senator Happy Chandler has prom ised to 90 to bat for the five coal miners imprisoned for seven years in Harlan Coun- ty, Ky.
 It is something new for Happy to be. on the side of the United Mine Workers. They have been bitter enemies for some time. How ever, Attorney General Mur- phy took the new Kentucky senator aside, a short time ago, and suggested that there never could be peaceful em- ployer-labor relations in Har- Ian County until these men were released.
 Senator Chandler con- cured in this and promised that he would 50 back to Kentucky and talk to his gu- bernatorial successor.
 The five miners involved were given life sentences af- ter rioting at Evarts. Ky, when the United Mine Work CTS attempted to organize that field. The miners always have claimed that they were framed by paid gunmen for the mine operators. tCopyright, 1889, by United

 tOn Officers Must Qualify

and would take in towns in New Haven, Litchfield and Fairfield counties.
 Objection to the bill on the ground that the districts take in too much territory is expected. The pro- posed Waterbury district, for in- stance, extends as far as the New York and Massachusetts state lines. Danbury would be in the same juv- emile court district as Waterbury.
 Salaries for the judges in the various districts would vary. In the Waterbury district the judge would receive $4,O00 a year. The judges, under the bills terms, must be lawyers with at least five years of experience. Qualifications for probation officers in the new juv- emile courts are also listed.
 Juvenile court legislation has the backing of many influential or- ganizations and individuals. Numer- ous petitions from such groups as the American Legion have been filed in the House and Senate, urg- ing a statewide system of juvenile courts.
 What will probably happen is that the judiciary committee will draw up it's own bill in committee. adopting the best points of the sev- eral proposed plans that will be under consideration. Gov. Bald- win, in his inaugural message, came out strongly for a state juvenile court setup. At present the only official juvenile courts in the state function in Fairfield and Windham counties.

BEAUTY PARLOR
 OPERATOR SUES
$l,500 Damages Asked For Fall Trying to
 Unlock ODOr

An unusual civil action, based on the failure of door to provide nor- nal opposition to ordinary opening pressure was filed today in the court of common pleas, with Beatrice R. Mellette seeking damages of $l,50O from the Waterbury Trust com- pany.
 The woman claims that she oper- ated a beauty parlor in company with partner, known as the Viola s & Beatrice Beauty Salon, at 119 North Main street, as tenant of the Waterbury Trust company, own- CTS of the building.
 It is alleged that January q, 1888 the lock on the door was broken and unsafe, although the bank had been informed of its condition at previous times.
 On the day mentioned, the plain tiff claims she inserted the key in the lock, and at the same time ap- piled normal pressure to the door with her shoulder. The door opened too freely, and she fell to the floor, njuring her shoulder.

Democrat" by Alderman Thomas P. Kelly:
 T will be glad to speak, MT. Mo- Grath, at the proper time"
 Alderman DuBo!s deprecated the political angle taken by MT. Me- Grath, but was not joined in this exemplification of civic purpose by his contemporary who shared only the applause.
 One man remarked that he was paying $40 rent, working three days a week" and his complaint was discounted by some of the alder men because the owner of property, not the tenant, pays sewer assess ments.
 The whole matter devolves upon legislative action to change the as- sessment rate, now $250 a front foot for sewers sought some months ago by residents of the streets rep resented at the recent board meet ingS; and to provide a moratorium on payment; beyond the 120-day clause now in the statute.
 Charter Revision
 Eugene Sullivan, representing property owners at 1O3 Woodtic road. asked revision of the charter to provide the above changes. This, too, is a matter for the General Assembly he was told.
 While the aspect of the public hearing" on the budget was in evil dence for at least part of the in- formal meeting after adjournment, there was the difference of legis- lative raInifications, the shadow of political development anent this fall, lateral passing from one group to another. That the aldermen win consider action at the next regular meeting is conclusion That Senator Culhane has pre- sented the bill calling for abate- ment and reprieve of sewer assess ments and payments, respectively was reported as a fact.
