Representative Dun, of Windham (Democrat): today criticised the activity of men who are generally supposed to make up "the lobby," and intimated that he could make public some interesting information if he cared to do so. Tile debate attracted a large audience. Representative Chandler and others' who have fought. for the measure were “heartily con- gratulated. None or ‘them was sanguine that the , passage of any bill had been accomplished the principle could he fought over lat- er on and even if a measure could not be passed this time it could be made a prominent issue two years hence. Representative Humphtey, of Box- bury. said it ought to be left in the hands of the speakerfpwing to his fairness during the debate. Represen- tative Dormltaer started. to explain why he had voted for the .hill, the pre- vious question was moved. and the Chandler amendment was lost. Rep- resentative Chandler then offered an- other amendment that the committee consist of six members of the bill with| the minority representation of three, was favored by Mr. Malone en the ground that it would give fair treat- ment to all. He said he hoped that members who had been explaining their position had not sprained any ankles or limbs in order to get into the band wagon. Mr. Chandler spoke in favor of his amendment, saying that he feared there was hostility to “the measure in the senate. and he thought the minoritp: representation of- ‘ five would be fair. Representative Dunn said he was convinced that this was a. scheme to kill the measurs.-otherwise there would not be scrunch lobbying going on. “i have matters in my pos- session that. if I should s‘pl'tn' them out would make much trouh 'said Mr. Dunn. The friends of the measure ought to have a chance, he said. Representa- tive Bush opposed the amendment, and Representative Whiton said he had full confidence in the speaker's appointments. He thought favorites of the measure should be recognized. The amendment was lost. Resolutions were presented by Mr. Burnes for a joint committee to take up the matter, and to report not later than June 8. This was adopted and sent to the senate. - ' HARTFORD, May 6.——The debate opened on the public utilities measure the meat the chaplaii'i' s prayer was said in the house. Speaker Banks stats ed that when the house adjoumed yes- terday the motion to reconsidhr was still under discussion. and that it was. the first matter to be taken up Rep resentative Hall of Wlliiil'gbon. moved that it be made the order of th day at 11: 30, so routine' business n'tlg‘ilt be transacted.

The latter was given and the use"protieéded 16' business. At 11: 30 Representative Burnes said he could not let the matter we vote without more telly explaining that-alt «soon. He said «that up to yesterday afternoon the debate had. been one of the best natured which had been can, risd on in the loose in years. But yesterday one of the proponents of the measure had called into- uuastioh the good faith of the opponents of the measure and bad issinuabsd that they were actuatsd by ulterior snotty-.119 said that those words did a good to him, He came to the alt . oversold than to rot ft‘onl overcautlon. l .t -..-.»...-.._....~.... in: tore convinced thht the state (did hot- 98 Washington Street but most of them felt cdhvlnced that " sound, South Norwalk need a commission and he had no rea- son to change his mind since then. He , said he did not like to be accused of having ulterior motives and the gen- tleman who made the insinuatlon knew that the motion to reconsider must have been made yesterday or not at all. He said that during the bear- ings of the judiciary committee no member of the house had been before the committee to offer amendments or suggestions and that all had agreed that the Judiciary committee could do nothing else but report unfavorably. They appreciated the bouquets that had been thrown at. the house in ac- cepting the report. He thought the house was willing to give the bill a better bearing and said that if the motion to reconsider was passed he would ojer a joint resolution for a jpint select committee of nine repre sentatlves and two' scholars. as a com- mittee without senate representhtion would have short shift in the senate. Representative Chandler said he had feared that the motion to reconsider was simply a step towards killing the bill, but he was would accept the state. ment of the gentleman fro‘ Cream wlch as being in good faith and accede to the appointment of the joint com— mittee. The are and has yoie was. then taken. It resulted: Yeas 124: nays', 95.
