attorney's ofilce. later. with

Stirrup. employees of the committee
; I who acted as watchers during the elec-
tionsiand who were arrested on similar
charges. Mr. Schughum will be ar-
raigned before a magistrate and given
"a hearing.
, ~When Scrugham. Stirrup and Car
rington were arraigned in the Tombs
Court the case was continued until
next Monday. The two former were
released ~on $2,500 bail and Carrington
on $3.000 ball.
Before he was arraigned Scrugham
issued a statement in which he declar-
ed that acts of an entirely legal na-
ture have been misconstrued so as to
make it appear that an attempt was
made; to circumvent. the laws govern-
ingthe insurance election and to pro-
cure the counting by fraud of ballots
' . that were not properly executed.
,, “As a matter of fact." said be, “these
i ' chutes do not have to do with the al-
lmd tampering with ballots at all. but
refer to the filling in of names and ad-
dresses on envelopes in which bal'
lots were sent to the inspectors of the
New York Life insurance Company. it
wasunnecessary that the district at-
tornoy who have taken upon themsel-
ves. in the absence of Mr. Jerome. the
responsibility of these arrests. should
have examined the three women who
were formerly employee of our com-
mittee. and who immediately upon the
close of the campaign found ready em-
ployment with the New York Life."
' “I stated the facts fully to the as-
sistant district attorney of my own
accord; and there has never been any
.Q attempt at concealment in the matter."
'7 He declared that the ballots in- ones.
‘ tion.’ 1.100 in number, were placed in
a single box. which was labelled
"Ballots without envelopes." lie said.
that the statement of election inspec-
tors that these envelopes were mixed
in with other ballots was explained by
the fact that the first omcial act of
, their board was to indiscriminately
' open‘the boxes for the purpose of as»
certainlng how many ballots were cast
.by the committee. "The net result
Of this action,” says the statement,
“Was that all the ballots were jumbl~
ed together. Whether or not Mr. Law~
he and his associates in the New
York Life board of inspectors remem~
W now finding the affidavits placed
in the box collecting the ballots in
question, is quite immaterial. The
fact that they were made and deposit-
ed is' entirely susceptible of proof and
that in itself would be a sufficient ans-
wer‘to any charge of "conspiracy” to
circumvent the election law, even if it
.did not appear that the inspectors were
obliged to take cognizance of the mat-
ter in the argument by counsel for our
”co mittee.
The facts in this case speak for
themselves. The arrest of Mr. «.Car-
ringtou. Mr. Stirrup and myself is a
tilt. ng.climux t on campaign in which
gentlemen intent noon perpetuating
themselves in the control of 8500.000.-

BANKS REPLIES TO GOVERNOR.
-—_._
Takes References Made In New Haven
Speech to Himself.
HARTFORD. May, l.—-—Representa-
tive E. 8. Banks made his expected
reply to the speech of Governor Wood-
ruff at the Economic League banquet.
at New Haven. on April 18. in the
house today, and in the court of al-
most an hour's impassioned address he
said:
“His Excellency, the governor, has
referred to the legislative leaders as
controlling the course of events in this
general assembly. That reference is
meant for myself and two or three
others. I am branded and marked as
one who takes advantage of legislative
experience to mislead the. house in
doing what it ought not to do.”
Representative Banks got the op-
portunity to speak on the unfavorable
report of the judiciary committee on
the bill giving the governor the power
to appoint county commissioners. The
majority report was unfavorable and a
minority report in favor of the plan.
Mr. Banks sent the reports to the
clerk and asked that they be read as
well as the bill. Then he rose to
speak. lie. repeated to a considerable
length his explanation also given be.
fore the Economic Club of his in-
troduction of this bill at the request
of the governor and of his informing
the latter that he was not in favor of
the measure. He then explained his
action of having the appointments of
county commissioners laid on the ta-
ble. and how he later called them up
for passage at the request of the
governor, who had said he was not
anxious to make the appointments.
Representative Banks attacked the
newspapers for alleged misrepresenb
ing of his motives. repeating to con-
siderable extent his speech also de‘
llvered at the Economic League. He
spoke also of the matter of trial by
jury. repeating again that a majority
of the committee would report such a
bill. He said that. there are a number
of commissions in the state, all of
which are appointed by reason of a
political opinion. ‘ He said he had no
criticism to offer on this score or
against any commissioner. 'but he
thought it appropriate at this time to
consider this whole question. He said
also that notice should be taken of
the criticisms made by his excellency
against. the general assembly because
they carry with them the weight of
the office of the chief eXecutive.
“What some idle person may say of
us is of no moment. but what the gov-
ernor may say carries weight among
those who do not know us." .
Mr. Banks read from a newspaper
the speech of the governor .he had
referred to. He then divided it into
sections and proceeded to consider
each one separately.

Novel Exhibits Orrin debris
of tin loam—Bill Passed
98 to 87
The bill to make seven inches the
minimum length of trout which can
be legally caught was taken from the
foot of the calendar. in the House at
Hartford yesterday. on motion of Mr.
Quintard, of Norwsik. The bill was
passed last week by the house. but
next day the action was reconsidered.
Two of the members came yesterday
prepared for a discussion on the trout
question. and brought specimens of
trout which, when exhibited. brought
forth loud outbursts of applause from
the members. A long debate on the
bill followed.
Mr. Quintsrd. who introduced the
bill. spoke in favor of a seven-itch
limit. “1 have here a six-inch trout.“
he said: instantly be was called upon
by the embers to show it, and when
he held it up, there were cries of
"doubt it." Mr. Quintard said it was
all wrong to catch trout smaller than
sewn inches in length. Mr. Fens. of
’ethersneld. house chairman of the
committee on fisheries and game. said
that the statutes provide a fine of $50.
and allow $20 to the game warden in
prosecutions for catching trout under
the limit; then there are costs of
about $20 which can be tacked on.
making about $90 of a penalty which
can be imposed on a farmer's boy for
catching too small a trout. “No other
state has such a law," he said.
Mr. Cruttendeu. of Norwich. spoke
at length in favor of the seven-inch
bill. He held up, one after another.
trout measuring six, seven. nine and
twelve inches. the applause of the
members growing in proportion to the
size of the trout. Mr. Cruttenden
thought that the law making seven
inches the minimum should pass. Mr.
Crutlenden added. in closing his re-
marks. that he would like to present
the trout to the speaker. but knowing
the speaker’s opposition to gratuities.
he hesitated. As there are no trout
in Toiland county larger than six
inches. according to the gentleman
from Coventry. it gave him pleasure
to present a seven-inch trout to Mr.
Higgins. one of the Coventry repro-
sentativcs. (Laughton Some fish
stories were related during the re-
marks of those who spoke on the bill.
Mr. Higgins acknowledged the gift.
and then proceeded to oppose the law.
He said that he is not in favor of de-
stroying one of the chief sports of the
.boy on the hillside, that of going forth
with a bent pin and cotton string and
catching a few trout. The boy gets
more excitement and sport out of it
than any grown fisherman. Mr. Gard-
ner. oi Southington. favored the seven-
inch law. speaking briefly. ’
A rising vote was taken on a mo-
tion to accept the unfavorable report
and to reject the bill. There were 188
members voting. 82 in favor of ac.
ceptlng the report and 106 against.
Mr. Quintard moved that the bill
be passed. Mr. Gunn. of Milford. said
he did not favor the bill. as it might
get some people into trouble who
ought not be gotten into trouble. and
the bill would not do any real good.
He stated that it is not the farmers'
boys or the fishermen who are. deplet-
ing the streams by catching trout: one
mink or one eel in a brook destroys
more trout than do several fishermen.
Sawdust. dye-stuffs and cold weather
also destroy trout. Besides. how is a
fisherman to know when he throws in
his book whether he will draw out a
six-inch or a seven-inch trout? Once
a trout is taken out. if pierced
through the gills. it dies.
Mr. Cruttenden‘inquircd of Mr. Gunn
if the same does not apply under the
present six-inch law. Mr. Gnnn re-
plied in the affirmative. and added that
to his mind. neither the six-inch or the
seven-inch .law can do much good.
Mr. Clark. of Derby. offered an amend-
ment. placing the number of trout
which can be legally caught at twenty.
but. later withdrew it. and moved to
table. The motion was lost. ‘
Mr. Burbank. of Suffieid. said that
at first he was a six-inch law man. but
after seeing the trout he was con-
verted to the seven-inch law. He
thought that. perhaps the trout had
been lobbying with him.
Upon a rising vote being taken the
bill was passed. 98 to 87. Mr. Quin-
and moved that the bill be transmit-
ted to the senate, and the motion
passed. Mr. Hoyt. of Derby. moved
that the trout be transmitted. too. and
Speaker Tilson appointed him a com
mittee to transmit them.
HARTFORD, May 1.—-—The Senate
today rejected the seven-inch trout
bill passed by the House yesterday.
Senator Briggs said such legislation
would be an injustice to thousands
of fishermen who occasionally take an
afternoon off. it. was in the interest
only of the owners of trout preserves.
He said that the other day four men
in Middlesex county went over‘ into
Litchfleld county and when they came
home they said they had caught 185
trout. many of them les than six inch-
es in length. although the law limits
the number to thirty fo rent-J) fisher-
man. The men said they threw back
about half the number which they
caught. Last week two factory em~
ployees whose salary probably is $15
a week took an afternoon off and'went
over into Litchiield and each caught

gently enforced. .

HAT MAKERS STRIKE FOR SEER.
A rule was put‘ into effect on April
lot by the Orange Hat Manufacturers'
Association. forbidding the drinking of
beer in the Orange shops during the
business hours. a most sensible and
businesslike action and one which
follows upon the stand taken by the
manufacturers in the, Danbury, Bethel
and South Norwalk districts several
years ago. .
As a result. however. of this rule
there was considerable dissatisfaction
among a few of the Journeyman. and
about 500 men employed in the hack-
shops of E. V. Connett and Company.
and F‘. Berg and Company. went out
on strike on April 10. returning. how-
ever to their work after one week's
loss fpay.
None of the other departments in
these shops has been involved and
there has been no trouble in any of
the other ,prsnge factories.
Heretoforc the hat makers and op-
eratives generally were allowed to
send out for beer during the working
hours, but this action was confined to
half an hour in the morning and half
an hour in the afternoon.
During the temporary unpleasant-
ncss a meeting of the local officials.
the stewards of each department in the
Orange district and the national pre-
sident. Mr. Moiflit was held, where-
upon it was denideii that the men
he allowed to buyetheir beer at a spe-
cified period during the morning and
afternoon. This',.plan, however. was
afterwards cban ,ed so that now the
men are only slowed to send out for
the amber‘fluid during one-half hour
of the morning. ..
