Lauyers Seek Returns On Excessiue Payments
 Bill Introduced in Hartford Recalls Controller Rowland's Crusade Against Local Barristers- Culhane Charges Pressure" Used on Troopers.

several weeks ago signed 8 petition stating they favored fin principle" the limiting of working hours for state policemen, the senate yester- day afternoon defeated Senator George T. Culhane's bill setting a ceiling on working hours for the troopers. Several senators claimed that they had been besieged by members of the state police force asking them to defeat the bill
 Asked by Senator Culhane if he knew why the state policemen were against the bill, Senator Jo- seph Downes of Norwich replied that the troopers felt that a limit on their working hours would de- tract from their dignity as police officers and would place them in the same class with common la borerS."
 Senator William D. Shea of Manchester, inferred during the lengthy debate that the only sup port for the bill among state po- licemen came from those at the Beacon Falls barracks.
 Senator Culhane charged that pressure" had been exerted on state policemen to have them oppose the bill. Many state policemen now, he said, are working more than 500 hours month.
 In the voting the senate first de- feated, 23-11, an amendment limit ing state police working hours to 275 month. Another amendment offered by Senator Culhane was ruled out of order by Lieut. Gov James L McConaughy, and the chair was upheld by large ma- jority.
 Then the original bill, setting up six-day-week and nine-hour day was beaten.
 Democrats in the senate had de- bated the bill and the amendments in a lengthy caucus before the start of the session. In the voting, Senator Edward P. Egan. of Water bury, balloted against the Culhane proposals.

Anything That Comes on the
 Table. Never ilas Gas, SouTnsss
 Acid isiS'gigs, or Cramps, and

 Many symptoms denote an upset Stesnnch. but none are more dis freeing rtal A1at gassy, sour, bloat- ed seiing which so often sends the suffer-. running for dose of soda. People who suffer this way, when associated with constipation, should visit the Vendol Man at Apotheca- ries Hall Go. without delay and learn what Vendol, the great Root. Herb and Alkaline medicine has done for dozens of people right here in town who have been troubled for years. MT. H. Normandin of AT E. Main St., Waterbury, found all this to be true, and now says:
 q know many person is suffering today just as did short time ago You see, I'd been bothered with slug gish and irregular elimination for a long time, and more recently just everything seemed to go wrong Worst of all, suffered almost daily with indigestion and gas after most every meal. This gas was often SC painful that I'd take soda for relief Many a night I'd roll and toss, un- able to sleep, and if got over on my right side, felt like I'd lost my breath. I'd often rift up a hot, soui liquid that burned my throat.
 'sThen, I began taking Vendol and this treatment gave wonderful relief from the constipation, then

usual appearance before the 1egis- lature to the seriousness of the busi- ness which virtually has stalemated the session.
 The governor, he said, usually kept to himself "in the southwest corner" of the capitol. But, he add ed significantly, "parenthetically I don't think am yet in corner, I th'Ak that you have earnestly gone about your task. We started in to- gether in 8 most friendly fashion, and 1t is my deepest wish that we all end together that way"
 At the conclusion of the address, both Houses went into recess and party caucuses were called to dis cuss the governors talk.
 Prior to his appearance in the legislature, the governor said he was not taking on any speaking en- agreements except those already ar- ranged, and T am going to devote my time to the general assembly and make myself available as much as possible to the legislature"
 Observers felt the executives speech tossed the ball directly into the laps of the Democrats who thus far have blocked the administra- tion's reform program. At the same time 1t was felt it appealed for a more formibale alliance between Re- publicans and Socialists, who, until recently, have held the whip hand in the Senate.
 Immediately after the governor ended his speech, party caucuses were held and it was reported lead- CTS of both houses prepared drafts of the amendment and of resolu- tions to be submitted the House and Senate for prompt consideration.

Asks Constitutional Amendment On Jobs
tContinued from Page ],

the House, was less expansive than that passed in the Senate. The upper branch tackled on an amend ment which would have restricted legislators from holding virtually any sort of job associated with state or municipal governments.
 The governor also urged the leg islators to work for an early ad- journment.
 "When I was last before you," he said, T made mention of the old custom that the General Assembly should adjourn when we could stick cane into the ground. That time is fast approaching"
 Legislators greeted this statement with wild applause.
 End Vexatious Problem
 The governor declared If the course which I suggest is followed, we will have disposed of the vexa- tious question in the best manner that now seems possible between a House with Republican majority and Senate in which no party has a majority. It is not so much a matter of getting credit for the job as it is matter of getting the job done.
 T am sure that there is honor enough for all to share"
 Gov. Baldwin told the assembly, ment 1t was not his purpose 'tc treSpaSs upon youi prerogatives CT invade upon your legislative tunc- tions.
 T have said before that I did not intend to do so, but 1t is not only the privilege of the executive but like- wise his duty to report to the gen. eral assembly from time to time needed legislation and to suggest the form which he thinks it might prop erly take.
 Too Much Time To Jobs
 For a long time the public has felt that the members of the gen. eral assembly have devoted toe much of their time to the appor- tionment of judgeships and county commissionerships which appoint. ments are under the law and the constitution made by the general as- sembly, among themselves. The pub- lie has also drowned upon nomina- tions by the governor, either direct ly or which require the advice or the consent of either or both branches of the general assembly, of those men in the senate or in the house who may have favored some bill which the governor was urging these are the evils which should, ir my opinion, receive your attention.
 Great Importance The chief executive said he con. sidered the principle involved in the dual-job holding bill "of the greatest importance" and T believe that the time has come when this particular matter should be settled and othe1 important matters yet to come should not feel the effect of thu present disagreement" Concerning the proposed consti. tutional amendment, he said q; an amendment to the constitution i. started on its way to ratification, am sure that the people will settle this question if we here in the legis. lature can not"
 Both house and senate, he said had recognized the principle in. volved but had differed "only in the form and extent of their commit. ments."

Hartford Doctors Examine Thos A. Shanahan l; Con-
 ditiOn Improving

Judge Ernest A. Inglis late yesterday afternoon post poned until next Tuesday the Waterbury conspiracy trial which has been in recess since last Wednesday due to the illness of City Assessor Thomas A. Shanahan. An nouncement of the added de- lay was made following con- ferences between Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn and Judge Inglis, and Alcorn and Defense Attorney Patrick Healey, counsel for Shanahan. The con- ferences followed 8 report of two Hartford doctors to Special Prose- cutor Alcorn concerning the condi- ton of MT. Shanahan.
 The postponement wiped out the possibility that the state might move for a severence of the Sllanahan case fro mthe other 9 charged with conspiracy. The doctors report was to the effect that Shanahan's in expectation was due mainly to nervous stomach. His temperature and pulse were normal, they re- ported, and he had no lucer.
 MT. Alcorn yesterday declined to discuss any Identification of with nesses for the next session of the trial.
 Dr. Andrew J. Jackson reported today that there was no change in Shanahan's condition. Yesterday he said that although his patient was improved, he was not well enough to return to court.

The supplement primer, issued ny the Federated Garden Clubs of Con- necticut, set forth answers to critics of the bill, averring that the meas ure is partisan ;that the license fee remains the same but that the permit fee on billboards is increased from one to two cents per square foot per annum.
 Increase Employment
 That the passage of the measure will not decrease employment, "as between 5 and 10 per cent of the boards will be relocated, and ~in- creased employment in new build ing will result from the creation of protected areas for residences"
 The primer cites that the state re- ceived revenue in excess of $69,000 in 1927 when the three-cent rate was in effect, but only $27,308 from the billboard tax in 1888. The ques- ton is raised as to why the tax on billboards was reduced when everybody else has been paying steadily increasing taxes?"
 It Is remarked that recreational tourists spent $73,850,000 in Con- necticut for retail goods and services in 1887; that S,3A persons were employed by the outdoor advertis- ing companies in the United States in 1895, 200 in Connecticut; that "the real threat to the billboard workers job" is not reasonable regulation by law, but hostile public opinion"
 c. o. P. Pledge
 The Republican party's platform last fall included the following: "In the interest of safety and the pres- ervation of the natural beauties of Connecticut, we pledge our contin- ued efforts to secure the enactment of legsilation restricting billboards on state highways"
 Copies of the Connecticut bill- board primer. in rebuttal and the supplement, may be obtained from Mrs. Julius B. Smith, chairman of the publicity committee of the Fed- erated Garden clubs of Connecticut, of Al Buckingham street, Water bury.
