Harmonic Club Gives Beautiful Sword and Trappings to Lo- cal Member of Governor.
 Elect Lilley's Staff.
PATRIOTIC SMOKER HELD
Judge Wolfe says That All Share In tho Majors Honor. and Pays the Family Fine
 Tribute.

Al a smoker in tho Harmonic club in his honor last night Louis N. ull- man, newly Appointed major on tho staff of Governor-clect Lllley, was presented by his fellow members of the club with an extremely beautiful sword and trapplngs Tho sword was presented hy Judge Wolfe, who paid 2 fine tribute to Mir. tllman and his brother, Colonel Isaac M. rlman, and the part which they nave taken in tho civic and political life of the city and state
 The hanqucting hall of the liar monic club was decorated with many largo American flags and the occasion was made patriotic one, on the tables were also smaller American ! flags while rcd candles in the silver candcIahra helped 10 carry out the ef- feet Al the head table were two lit- te figures, one Of Liberty and the other of Uncle sam and these typned | the spirit of tae occasion
 Practically the entire membership | Of the club was present when they sat ' down 10 the tables at 10 o'clock and club kitchen After the Inner man ! had been satisfied and Major Ullman 1 had recovered from the sufprisc of sec- l ing a sword near his place the spcnk- | Ing began with Judge Wolfe acting as ' toastmastcr.

 colonel in the ullman family, now l there Is a major and next we must ex- 1 pect a Captain Ullman. For the ap- ! pointmcnt as major Is not significant of infcrlorty to his brother In any re- | spcct. but rather distinction, for it | would be embarrassing to have two ! Colonel l'llmans in the same family, ana might lead to confusion as unfpr- ! tunate for the one as for the other, I Thus tne goyernor-clect has honored 1 the new major fully as highly as was l his brother houorcd some ton years 1 ago, when sword was presented tO | him also on a somewhat similar oc-
 casion And said Judge Wolfe may
 the sword never have to be drawn in
 War; where IL migdt prove as disast-
 rous to its inexperienced user as to his
 adversary, but may 1t be worn In
 peace by him who will always 1o hon

 The sword, or rather cavalry sabre
 was then presented by MT, Wolfe to
 Major Ullman The sabre Is a beau
 tifu one of the finest steel, with sill
 yer hlt and bears the inscription
 "To Major Louis M, t'llman from the Harmonic Club, 1908" The Scabbard
 is also of solid silver and the belt and

Fox Says Initial Responsibility For Corrupt Practices Act Lies With MT, Lilley'S
 Counsel
KENEALY ALSO GETS CREDIT
Vital Error Corrected by Them Before Act Was Passed Court Convenes To- day-Mr. Jessop
 Here.

The first round in the case brought against Governor-elect George l.. Lil- lev charged with violation of the cor rupt practices act by George l.. Fox of this city will be found in the supe- rior court room this morning and the constitutionality of the act will bs challenged by the lawyers for the de- fendant If the court, of which Judge Robinson and Judge Bennett make up the bench decide that the act Is con- sttutional, the attorneys for the de- fence, I.ucien F. Burpee of Waterbury and Stiles Judson of Stratford will file an appeal to the supreme court. The proceedings to-day may not last over half an hour.
 Henry w. Jessop. MT FoX's lawyer, arrived from New York early last evening and spent several hours at the Graduates club with MT Fox. The evening was pleasantly spent in play ing billiards and whist and both stated that the case which is to come up to- day was far from their minds.
 The two witnesses who have been summoned to court will be on hand bright and early this morning. though neither will be called upon to testify. These are William H. Moseley of the New Haven house and Dennis J. Me- Cuen.
 After it was announced several days ago that the defence would attack the consttutionality of the corrupt prac- tices act, it was impossible to obtain q statement from MT. Fox. Last evening. however, he made formal statement in regard to the origin and history of the election court feature of the corrupt practices act of this state and in his statement 1t Is seen that one of Mir. Lilley's counsel helped frame the act MT. Fox said:
 At the session of the Connecticut legislature of 1905 two bills were of- fered. one by the late Lynde Harrison, the other by w. S. Pardee of New Haven, the latter more comprehen- sive measure than that of Mir Harri- son. Neither of these bills embodied the election tribunal. I then decided to support the general proposition be- fore the judiciary committee, but not ed the meagre character of Mir. Harri- sons bill which seemed to me to strengthen much both of the political machines. In order to get something better l decided to explain fully to the Judiciary committee the English and Canadian laws which had been very efficient and successful in check- ing electoral corruption The main feature of both these systems is the election court without which any cor rupt practices law Is of trifing value.
 While l was explaining to the ili- diciary committee the English system with its election court, MT Stiles Jud- son, the senate chairman of the com- mittee, bent forward and whispered to Mir Keuealy, the house chairman of the same committee and soon after |

SILVER VERY UNSETTLIMG
Business Conditions in Far East Dis
 turbcd by Fluctuations.

Washington, Dec 25.-That business conditions in tho Orient have been se- rously embarrassed by fluctuations in the price of silver and that fluctuations rather than the mere depreciation in the value of tho white metal has caus- ed this commercial difficulty, Is shown by large number of special consular reports received by the national monc- tary commission These reports indi- cate that in Japan, where the gold standard is the basis of exchange, there has been no unsettled condition from that cause, but in China. with the silver standard dealings with gold standard countries have been injurious ly affected by changes in the price of silver which make the profit of trans action largely dependent upon the rate of exchange,
