 Immediately reports were heard that Dove would support house minority leader T. Emmett Claire, Killingly, for liquor commissioner if hte governor wanted a lawyer. Clarie recently passed the bar.
 And 50 there the situation stands. Mccarthy, Golden and Fitzpatrick. rebuffed In their first attempts to sway Dove, rtired to consider their next move. Dove, holc.ng the trump card In that he has the distribution of insurance in his pocket, waited the next move from the administration. Fred Williams remained tempor- arily as the chief insurance dis- penser.
 With thousands of dollars in commissions at stake, those who know the inside" are watching the development of this situation with the utmost vigilance.
 Something which Is giving state officials . great deal of worry Is the Attorney Generals opinion that state employees called into military service shall receive from the state the difference in pay from what the federal sov- ernment pays them.
 These payments from the state have not started yet. And there k strong opinion that the general assembly will be asked for legis- latiOn on the matter In the next few weeks. Figures prepared by the Comptroller show it will cost the state about $lO,000 . month now to make up the salary differ ences, and probably much more as time goes on.
 There Is no way as yet In which the state can receive information from the federal government as to the sums paid to draftees. Moreover, 1t appears likely that many of the state employees draft. cd will stay in the army longer than Q year. The legislature may be asked to place e time limit on these payments by the state, once they have started.
 The new state aeronauticS com. missioner. Thomas II. Lockhart, East Haven, iS 30 years old, hut looks much younger. He is . like. able fellow, intent on his new job, but still green in legislative matters.
 He spent his fisst few days on the job patrolling legislative cor. riders to sec what action could be had on about l8 measures deal. ing with aeronautlcs, which are tied up in the general assembly.
 Once he learns more about how . legislature works, Lockhart no longer will use the word ac. ton or speed.
 There are quite a few legisla. tors who will vote to create 6 Savings Bank Life Insurance Sys. tenn in the state who feel their votes will merely be a gesture. Many are of the opinion that in. s,irance has to be SOLD to an in. dividual, and that he won't go to Q bank and buy 1t. There seems to be no doubt this measure will pass, now that the leadership of both parties favor 1t.

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Hartford, Conn.,, March 20- (UP)-The quiet and leisure of a humdrum session of the general assembly has been broken by the opening moves in e situation of which few are aware and which may soon be called, "The Battle Of the State Insurance"
 It is purely an intra.party development, and Q perfect expo. sition of how politics Is maneu. vered among big.timers, because there are big names engaged in this struggle. Politics is just like 0 checker game; first one side makes a move. and then the oth. CT. Here Is the story of the open- ing engagement in the Battle of the State Insurance and the first of the checker moves:
 The distribution of state insur- ance to various insurance agents throughout the state has been long regarded as . political plum. This distribution became 100 times more valuable when the states merit system went into effect, reducing tremendously the num- her of jobs available for patron- age. Insurance commissions on state property policies thus be. came Q heavy source of patron age.
 When Charles c. Swartx, Nor- walk, was comptroller, . Hartford insurance agent, John J. Ken. nedy, was appointed as "chief distributor" of state insurance policies. He passed out these pol- icies, and consequently, the com. missions, to various other insur. ance agents In the state.
 When Republican Comptroller Fred R. Zeller was elected, he supplanted Kennedy with another Hartford agent, Fred Williams. The same system was followed. Now with Comptroller John M. Dove in power, the time has come to decide how his administrators insurance distribution should be handled.
 A few days ago, State Chair man John T. Mccarthy: New Haven leader John Golden and Senate clerk John Fitzpatrick, F'airfield-all close administration advisors - conferred lengthily with Dove. Both Golden and Fitzpatrick are insurance agents. This powerful Democratic trio reported'y urged Dove to give up the sinE:e. headed distribution system, ard decep tralize the set- up.. Their plan reportedly would set up units over which different insurance agents would hold sway.
 Dove reportedly refused. The comptroller k . powerful leader In the eastern counties, and re. portedly has not been consulted much by che administration. But that is merely heresay.
 But, in refusing, Dove was un. deTstood t0 have submitted the candidates of State Sen. Pierre J. Laramee, D, Willimantic, for state Liquor Control Commission. or, and Judge John M. Bailey, D., Hartford, for statute revision commissions

Encouraging NelDs On
Anti-TubercuLOsis Work.

There is encouraging news from 8,
states regarding tuberculosis. In the

did during the corresponding period Of
1889, according to the preliminary
figures received by the United States
Public Health Service

means, in terms of life and death, that
more than 1000 persons were alive at
the end of 1910, who would have been
dead had not the anti-tuberculosis
campaign in this country gained head
way during the previous year.
There has been steady, year-by-
year advance against the disease. In
1911, tuberculosis was the leading
cause of death. Now, for the popula-
ton as a whole, it is in the seventh
place as cause of death.
Thus officials point to progress in
the battle to wipe out the dread
disease They say that even though
1910 figures, when completely tabulated,
will show the saving of hundreds of
lives during the year, tuberculosis
still kills more persons between Is
and As years of age than any other
cause of death.
The 1899 figures show that the disease
killed someone in this country every
eight and one-half minutes.

"The United States Forest Service
knew" continues the Times, "as well as
the old lumbermen, that ripe timber
must be cut, but people wanted those
beautiful tail pine trees to be beauti-
full and brave and to stand forever end
ever" Last summer hurricane swept
northern Minnesota and laid thirty
million feet of over-ripe trees in
windrows. Much good timber was laid
down with the old trees. Nature had
done what man had been forbidden
to do. Thinking that the people would
understand after the experience of last
summer, the Forest Service started to
harvest some timber on the Superior.
Immediately the same old cry is
raised again: Primitive wilderness and
protect those beautiful trees"
On the strength of the letter sent
by the Minneapolis man, Representa-
tive August H. Andersen has asked the
house agricultural committee for an
investigation of the Superior National
Forest wilderness area which contains
100000 acres where he said the service
was planning to open many acres in
the forest to logging which he said
would bring roads in the area and
create additional fire hazards.
Clare Hendee, supervisor of the
Superior denies that there is such a
move in prospect and states that on
the contrary it is proposed to set
aside 10000 acres along the border
within the present roadless area as
a "no cutting" area. 1t is to be hoped
that the investigation will follow.
