Blunder in Publish Barnum Bill Sparks Public Debate
Hartford July 20 It remains to be seen if legislative agents of public service corporations erred by publishing the full text of the Barnum measure before the joint committee disposed of it. The document has drawn near universal criticism and may shape moves by the minority to counter the bill. The clash centers on unifying oversight of public service corporations, taxing or converting franchises, and the bill’s financing provisions.

Lieut Adams Told Different Tales At Inquiry
Annapolis July 20 Lieutenant Robert E Adams a principal figure in the Sut ton tragedy faced sharp cross examination as the court of inquiry resumed. His recounting differed from prior sworn statements provoking questions from Attorney Davis while Mrs Sut ton Parker pressed him with persistent questioning about an interview after the shooting. The session reviewed discrepancies on who stopped the car who spoke first who fired and whether Adams reported the case to the officer of the day. Adams insisted he saw Sut ton move his head and body after a shot and that he did not say Sut ton killed himself though he had previously claimed uncertainty on that point. A New York interview about the charges sparked a long debate, which the court allowed not to be answered.
