PAGE TWO mu MAl'i'Eil lS ulswssll) m LEGISLATURE By Associated Press " HARTFORD. Jan 25. -The fuel question was the chief topic of dis- cussion among members of thé Gen- eral Assembly today and it was based chiefly on the contents of idle letter of resignation of Administrator Russell and Mr. Jaynes. his deputy. sent to Governor Templeton last night. Many members were making inquiries trying to find out the author of some of the .drastic provisions of the bill which is now with the judiciaty committee and on which a hearing will probably be given Tuesday afternoon. The ab- sence of House Leader Buckley. still confined to his home with a cold. made House members reluctant to breach the matter in that body. The Senate had less interest as Senator Elia had stated that the bill would be as' quickly as possible. preferably Tuesday. The ‘House gave the use of its cham- ber to the railroad committee for a hearing Wednesday afternoon on the - resolution to investigate train service of the New Haven road. Senator McGrath offered an amend- ment to the state enforcement law as follows: "The term ‘spirituous and in- toxicating liquor' shall be held to in- clude all spirituous and intoxicating liquors, all mixed liquor, all mixed li- quors of which a part is spirituous and intoxicating. all distilled spirits. all Jamaica ginger. all wines and cider containing more than ten percentum of alcohol by volume, ales. porters. . and beers manufactured from hops ‘ and malt or from hops and barley containing more than four percentum ‘ of alcohol by volume." A bill in the House to amend the law regarding shipment of diseased cattle would set a forty-five pound standard on calves. BIG WELCOME FOR SOLDIERS AT SAVANNAH By Asociated Press ATLANTA. Gs...

Who these“ leaders will is a question that cannot be an- swered until after Saturday. It is cer- tain that it will be those who let nothing stand in the way of getting the subscriptions that mean the big votes at a time when they mean the most in votes. One of the most interesting rival— ries that has developed since the start brewing between the two districts. the town and the outside. Present indi- cations point to this struggle becom- ing even more pronounced than the weeks past. The leadership for the week has changed from first one can- didate to another so many times that it has been impossible to associate any one worker with the leading position for more than an hour at a time. But one thing is noticeable. though, that this leadership has been about equally divided between the two districts. Final returns will bear out the truth of this statement. Just now it is an oven wager as to which district will boast the most winners. _ There is nothing really. surprising in this. as The Evening Sentinel has the same appeal to readers outside the city as it has for those who reside in the Nor-walks. Every issue carries its notes from each of the communities that are a part of this district. items that tell in brief,of all the happenings from that particular locality. ~ news that will be of interest to everyone there. It is gratifying to note the number of candidates who are taking pelsonal charge of their campaign affairs with the present wells: Some have been content to let their friends carry the burden doing very little or nothing of help t emselves. Any number of these candidates have come to the front within the past week. and, un- less the signs read wrong. these self- same folks are going to be very much heard from before the final gong sounds. It is not too late for others to fol- low the lead of these alert candidates. The race is for everyone. with the winning laurels to those who perse~ vere to the end. Strict rules make it impossibly for anyone to take an un- fair advantage. and at the close. those who deserve to win will find their names at the top of the Judges‘ list. Whether or not your name is on the list. your name can be among the leaders. The field is large. with the same advantages to all. If you have not been nominated. why not make use of the blank you will find in this issue? Bear in mind. always. ihat sou can win a prize or be paid a cash commission of 10 per cent—not a lottery or a game of chance. You- do not have to be "lucky." A bit of energy applied during your spare hours can bring you a new car at the end of five weeks. Isn't it worth the effort? ‘ NORWALK COUNC BOY scours, EEHECT the Noryalk Council.

By Associated Press - . _ WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. -—-,The machinery of the federal government has been set in motion to ascertain whether any foreign embassies and le- gationd have brought into the country extensive shipments of liquor to be di- verted later into the booideg trade in the national capital. While enforcement agents reported amarked decrease in the supply of "embassy" liquors said to be finding their way in illicit trelio hora as a m suit of the alleged disclosures by John J. Lynch. am in a recent raid 99 his apartment. the panes were known to be tightening their surveillance to- day of all suspected sources of such liquor.’ On top of the information given by Lynch. published reports in which he named the Cuban Legationr as one source of his supplies-the police say the campaign they are conducting against suspected liquor dealing-s. through embusies' pad legations might result in a request that the state and treasury department take steps to cur. tail liquor supplies brought in under diplomatic permits.

W as- “ONBARZRANCH” ,Spe-lngwomi Dramatic Club to Give Fine Production in Palace Theatre Next Monday From the rise of the curtain to the final how. there is action in the Springwood Dramatic Club's offering “On the Bar z Ranch." which comes to the Palace Theatre on Monday. January 29. This action is due first to the drolleries of the four cowboys. their song. “On the Lone Prairie," which is an adaptation of one of Ber- ton Braiey's ballads of the border land. \ Other things that contribute to the action of the drama is the arrival of the girlirom the East the presence of the Mexican. Jose. after whose arrival things sinister begin to happen. Winona and Jose meet by stealth. but their meeting is interrupted by Dick Scott. the cowboy hero, .whoso. put lies buried ‘mmewhere ‘ tn the East: Juaniththe’haif caste Maxican girl gives warnings of impending trouble. and by her sayings of the Mexican race. and her quick wit is enabled to w from danger or from em- ng situations very cleverly. To tell more of the story would be to spoil it for those who intend to Wit- ness the production. There are some songs. one “The Gypsy Love Song " as sung by Mar- garet Lea. the Girl: and B‘The Pil~ grim in‘ Loveland." as sung by Dick Scott. the‘ hero. There are also others »that will please. The play is handsomely costumed. and the scenery and stage effecm also very good. and the coaching of the production has been handled in a most capable manner by Thomas F. MdMahon. ' There has been some exception taken to what was evidently a state- ment made in error regarding the Bpringwood Dramatic Club. and tho Springwood A. C. under whose aus- pices the production is being given. The club and the organization has been termed a "Polish Society." This of course is untrue. as the members of the Springwood A. C. are for the most part Hungarians. and have the support of the local Hunga- rians. Both the Athletic Club and the Dramatic club have as members 100 per cent Americans and were delight- ed with the opportunity to present "On the Bar Z Ranch."ss it is the sort of a play that brings out Ameri- can ideals. mun AND mm ma oomnssrosnnsmr Nominated by Senators—f and mm- of reason mum.
