When they had finished, DIR. Ball made
few remarks. and the conference ad-
J liourned. The details of the interview
are not known. but it is certain that
under certain conditions DR.. Ball was
offered the senatorship as the colleague
OF the Gasman. Bayton's long tongue
has forced out all the details of this
story.
DIR. Ball. it is known, refused to be-
tray trust imposed upon him by his
party, and would not consent to any
deal which had for its purpose the cleo
tion of Addicks. Thus the beautiful
plan of Mr.. Lawton came to naught.
