Practically without change, the wool and sugar schedules . as , they passed the House are expected to be recommended " late this week to the Senate -finance committee by the Sena tors who have had them under con sideration for. more than a month.

HOUSE FACES LONG NIGHT SESSION ON EVE OF LAST DAY New Haven May Manufac ture Ice Under Bill Signed By Governor Hartford, June 3 Governor Baldwin has signed the amendment to the Now Haven city court charter, the bill to permit .New Haven to make and soli artificial ice,' and the New Haven' city plan commission bill. The Senate opened.today,, by accept ing the report of the conference com mittee on the 55 hour bill for wom en and minors In Industrial plants, made possible by the enactment of this law.' The Senate previously had adopted an amendment which permit ted employers to have an eleven hour day for ' five days a week, this being In behalf of the Saturday half holi day. The conference committee re ported favorably the rejection of this amendment and this was done. The House will now agree to the other Senate amendment which provides that, minors may be employed in mer cantile establishments on Saturday evenings. The 11th hour amendment was rejected 19 to 8. The bill was adopted by the Senate without divis ion and it is probable that during the day the House will concur.' Senator Peck offered a resolution to pay doorkeepers of the Senate $150 for special services, explaining that the intent was to make "the compen sation of the doorkeepers equal to that of the messengers. Snator Mc Donough protested against the " pay ment of this extra money as a grat uity. Senator Perry was against the resolution but Senator Peck declared that the doorkeepers were entitled to the sum and it was time It was given them If the Senate thought they had rendered the service. Senator John son . of Hartford looked upon, the pay ment for special services as a gratuity. So did Senator Stevens, who asked for a roll call. Senator Peck declared that at a conference in New Haven, before the Senate was organized, it was decided that doorkeepers should be- paid as much as the messengers. Senator Neebe recalled the same decision.- v ? The Senate voted 21 to 7 against paying out this extra money. Those voting for it ' were: Senators Purcell, Frohlich, Neebe, McGrath, Hurley, Peck and Weich. .- Those voting against it were: Johnson of Hartford: Hooker; Cheney; Stevens; Landers; Col ton; Iebell ; Qudnn, Kelsey, McDon ough, McCarthy, Miner, F. A. Johnson, McNeil, Whltcomb, ? Perry. Weed, Keach, Wadhams, Gaylord and G. H. Johnson. - When the general banking bill came In from the House ; with -.the-'-Healy amendment, providing that any group of men who had the capital might in corporate as a bank and trust com pany under the law. Senator Weed suggested that rather than risk, de feat the Senate should accept ' this amendment which was don. The bill was then adopted in concurrence. . The House faced a calendar of 80 measures when it gathered, today. It was evident that a night session-would be needed to get the work done and this fact was emphasised when Speak er Webster -declared that if the mem bers of the House had any regard for their oath of office or for their con stituents or any obligation to the State or- themselves, they would see that a quorum was kept In the chamber all day and 'all night if necessary. His remarks were greeted with' applause. A favorable -report -was made on the resolution appropriating $1,000 for the celebration of the one hundred anni versary of the Battle of Stonington on August 8, 8 and 10th, 1914, providing some person shall contribute a like amount for the same purpose. The resolution was adopted under suspen sion of the rules. . , , . Mr. . Mages, moved rejection of the bill carrying $375,000 for pensions of $30 t year for veteran soldiers and. their widows. The House-rejected vthe bill 105 to 74." f Then came the resolution appointing William C. Rungee Judge at Green wich. Mr. Wilson offered an amend ment striking out the name of Run gee and substituting that of Mitchell D. Tierney. The amendment was rul ed out of order. Mr. Healy said that the court -took more time than any other court contest in the State. He said the Judiciary committee had heard all the evidence and had voted to sup port Rungee. The Senate arranged to have a din ner at the Hartford Club, - tonight, when gifts to Lieut. Gov. Tingier, the vice-president pro-tern, the chaplain and others are to be distributed. The Senate was so far ahead of the House that it had time to go out on the Capitol steps and have its picture taken. , " In the House, headway was made very slowly. -For the sixth time that body moved through Its calendar to the Greenwich Judgeship resolution. Action on' this matter had been side stepped five times but there was.no escaping it, todajf, ana after a debate in -which conditions In Greenwich were mildly , explained, the resolution ap pointing W. W. Rungee to succeed Judge Burns was adopted by a large majority. Tho House, after some de bate on the divided report upon the bill providing for a tax of 10 mills upon the value of automobiles, reject ed it 98 to 72. - Gov. Baldwin is close up to the en grossing clerk in signing the meas ures and the only delay now is with the printer in supplying copies of the bills which have passed both branches. The fate of the appropriation bill for the highway department , was the cause of considerable worry, today, owing to disagreeing action between the two bodies over? the five million dollar good roads bill. ' CITY COURT CASES Excepting that quota' of individuals who regularly stand -for trial .upon charges of intoxication, there were but two cases called in the City Court this morning.
