August iT.-—A sensu tion was created in the senate today when Mr. ltccd, of the 27th district. of (cred a resolution for the raising of a commission of three competent per- sons to be. appointed by the governot to investigate the methods used in procuring any or all legislation during the present session, the commission to report before January 1 next, the gov- el'ltor to lay the report before the at- torney general. who shall have the power to prosecute any or all persons who in the opinion of the commission- er had used wrong methods to procure such legislation. it provided that the commission should serve without pay. but $1.200 would he allowed for. ex- penses. By an almost unanimous vote after debate the senate refused so sus- pend the rules to allow the introduc- tion of the resolution as new business. Senator Reed said that in introduc- ing the resolution be was not follow— ing in the footsteps of the house be- cause his resolution was with the clerk of hills last. Thursday morning. He said he did not. believe that‘all things were equal in the' matter of attempted legislation in behalf of the public util- ltles commission. He said the battle was an unfair one, on those in favor oi a commission had to fight against a number of lobbyists and paid attor‘ neys. ills resolution be thought would make it easier next session to pass a public utilities bill. lie said that it might be said that his resolu tion was locking the door after the horse had been stolen. He could see no harm in the passing of the resold tion. which would be ,a stop toward catching the thieves who stole. the horse. He drew up the resolution after observing the conditions and the ac» ttous. which occurred in the house when the vote on the public utilities bill was voted upon and he said he saw things which were absolutely dis- graceful and which placed a stigma on the legislature. It was only fair that this stigma should be removed from the members. Senator Penn said he was somewhat in‘ sympathy with the resolution, but it seemed to him a novel pronoaitlon to have charges of this kind investi- gated by a commission It is the duty of the present legislature to purge it self and it is within the province of this legislature to instruct the proae cuting attorneys ‘to take up any spe- cific charges which are made. Senator Higgins said he was against the resolution, as it concerned the house alone. The matter should have originated in the house and if the house feels that there was any dis- graceful actions in was for that body to inquire into them. Such a. resolu tion as this would stir up a lot of un- savory reports without any substantial result. He said he was present during the debate and vote in the‘house and he had to confess that he was not smart enough to see anything wrong. He moved to indefinitely postpone the matter. Senator Boat-ls raised the point of order that a matter could not be postponed before it was etved and the‘chair upheld the point. na- tor Reed said that the evidence taken before the commission would free the mombers from the stigma placed upon them and if any evidence was obtain- ed aaglnst any members those mem- bers would have to bear the burden. The senator said that the occupancy of ante-rooms by lobbyists or men who are called such and lawyers who were working against tho,.l°publlo utilities measure required some cart of an in- quiry at tout. Senator Bock said he could not so. how it could be proved that undue influence woo used to get votes. He saw lobbyists talking with members. but he did ‘not know what they were talking about. No charge was made against any oonotor that ho was under lobby influonoo. The house was concerned in its own acts and ap- parently was not interoowd enough to lnvootinto the situation.

NliNll illllR iNiNES iii NilNEill Hill The present storm has eclipsed all records for the summer here in point of rain precipitation. and in New York the records of the weather bureau for thirtysevcn years have gone to sluash. Since Sunday night, when the rain started to fall gently. nearly four inches of water have landed in South Norwalk from the clouds. in New York yesterday the fall from 8 o'clock in the morning to 8 o‘clock last night was 3.94 inches, which means many millions of gallons. The records at the South Norwalk filtration plant at Wilton show that the precipitation there since Sunday night up to 7 o’clock this morning was 3.62 inches, as against 2.13 inches for the entire month of July. The reser- :olrs have not yet begun to feel the full force of the heavy rainfall. but this morningtho Wilton reservoir had raised four Ind one-half inches. For several days following the end of the storm the water will flow in good vol- time. The showing would be greater now but for the fact that the ground all about the water shed was in a re- ceptive condition on account of the long look of adequate rain, and a grout quantity of water which would have been welcome at the reservoir soaked into the ground.
