Many Senators in Gathering at

Question of policy and committee
Places are Discussed; ILL“ '
u..-
The licttvssity of retrenchment in
the state‘s. expenditures was the prin-
ciple "Ultimo of discussion at the in—
formal gathering of republican sena-
lots at the Hartford Club, yesterday
allcrnoou. The tncmbers met. at 1
o'clock for luncheon, and afterwards
various matters were. discussed, Son-
ator Louis ll. Cheney of the First Dis-
trial called the gathering to order
and introduced Lieutenant Governor-
ciort Clifford ii. Wilson, who presided
«mar 1the gathering
While mmmiiteeahips and oiiiccrs
were discussed somewhat. the bulk of
the discussion was given over to the
policy tic be followed. Various appro-
priations that would be asked for
- were taken‘mp and msfm theydlscum
stun it was plain that the senators
were united in the belief that the
state's finances demanded the most
careful expenditures. Every ecort
will be made to make a good 3110th
ing and see it the state‘s debt cannot
be reduced during the next two years.
Another question brought up was
as to the rules. The senators felt that
any changes intended should be ready
at the opening of the session. so as
not to have the amendments sprink-
led through the session. All of those
present were in favor of a further
shortening of the time for the pres
sontation of new business and it is
probable that the last session day in
January will he set as the limitation
date.
There was also some discussion as
to the reviving of the old committee
on judicial nominations. in order to
relieve the judiciary committee of
some of its work. The senators were
divided in opinion. many feeling that
the committee would not have been
abolished if there hadn’t been some
good reason for it.
During the talk as to committee-
ships it became evident that Senator
Frederick A. Bartlett of Bridgeport
and Senator Charles W. Evarts of
Milford were candidates for president
pro tem. The odds seemed to favor
Senator Bartlett.
choice for chairman of the judiciary
committee. Senatorimuis R, Cheney
of Hartford for chairman of the in‘
surance committee, and Senator Bob
crt V. Magee of Watertown for chair-
man of the appropriations committee.

ship Senator James A. Peasley of
Waterbury is a candidate.

brother about 14 years old went to the
center of Dorian to attempt to gut in'

They first tried to phone from Allen’s.
pharmacy and then went to Mr. Allen's
home. where they were told the only,
phone was at the drug store,“ which
had been closed. Allen directed the
couple to the telephone exchange but
they could not. get inside on account
of the rule. .
By the time the boy and his mother
reached the exchange it was 12:20.
o'clock. Miss Tillman answered {the
knock at the door but refused to al-
low them to enter. Talking loudly;
she asked what they desired and they
told her they wanted a doctor. She;

as she received no answer. ”Mina;
Tillman referred them to Dr. G. H“
Noxon, who had his oh‘loe near the.
exchange. and then heard them leave
the porch of the building.
‘ The stories told by the beyond by;
Miss Tillman were the same. Dial
House was called and stated that he.
doubted “whether medical aid would,

man had been ill for several days but:
