DEMOCRATS IGNORE A LAW
Fail to File Campaign Contributions
as Legally Required.
BRYANS STATUTE IS OVERLOOKED
DIR. Hail, Treasurer of Democratic
State Committee, COnlea In Day
Late with an Excuse,
but No List.
BRYAN'S STATUTE IS OVERLOOKED
(From a Staff Correspondent }

LINCOLN, Oct. 19.-CSpecial.) .)-How the
democratic party leaders pass a law and
then nullify 1t without even going into the
court is shown by the fact that the treas
urer of the demoerstic state coplm.;tce
failed to file his repopteof the money con-
tributed to the campaign fund fifteen days
before the election, as provided in The
law which Mr.. Bryan ana his henchmen
enacted last winter with sLah a great
flourish of virtue.
The republican state committee treasurer,
H. G. Lindsay filed his report in Pawnee
county last Saturday and Monday he filed
his daily report of contributions as pro-
vlded in the law.
DR.. p. L. Hall, treasurer of the demo-
cratic state committee, filed a statement
with the county clerk today TO the effec
that no contribution over $25 had been re
ceived and no money had been paid out BY
him. Even this report was not filed within
the limit fixed by the democratic law. DR..
Hall said in explanation that until week
ago he did not know that he was treas
urer Of the committee
The law also provides that any person
who handles money for the committee, col.
lects and pays 1t out, whether treasurer OF
not must also file report. That the
democratic committee is spending money
there is no doubt because the state is be-
ing flooded with its literature. So far as
the officials of the committee here know
no report has been filed other than tina
filed by Dr. Hall day late. this morning

DAVENPORT LOSES
Court Rules Against Him in
 Hatters' Boycott Suit.

Special from United Press)
 tHartford, Oct. 20-A heated argu- ment was precipitated between Attor- ney Davenport for the plaintiffs and Attorney Beach for the defense in the Danbury Hatters' case in the United States District Coutr today. Attorney Davenport insisted that one of the witnesses John w. Sculley, secretary of the NorwaIk Hat Trimmers' Union, tell whether or not a resolution was adopted at last convention of the American Federation of Labor boy- cotting the New York Sun. Beach protested vigorously against the intro duction of such testimony, declaring it entirely incompetent and unneces- sary to the progress of the case.
 Attorney Davenport declared it was perfectly proper testimony as it tend ed to show the plotting of the union people against firms that have acted contrary to their ideas of what recog- hilton unionisn should receive at the hands of employers.
 The court ruled the question relat- ing to the New York Sun out. Other secretaries of the various unions in- velved in the suit were put on the stand this afternoon.

He engaged in the livery business and with John Atherton conducted a livery business on Court street where the rear entrance to Smiths theatre now is. About 1880 MT. Raymond and Henry Carstesen. who now has livery sta ble on Cannon street bought out MT. Atherton'S share and formed part nership. When the building now oc- cupied by I. T. Banks, hveryman, on Cannon street. was built. for MT. Ray mond, the Carstesen- Raymond part nership was dissolved and Mr. Ray nond carried on the business alone, He was successful for many years and accumulated considerable money. A few years ago. however. he suffered reverses and was forced to give up the business. He then undertook the sa- loon business.
 He was four times married. His first wife being a Miss F'rake. daughter of the late Abraham Frake of the South End. His second wife was a Miss Tonllinson whom he divorced. His third wife was Pennsylvania woman and some time after her death he mar ried Miss Wiesner. One daughter, Mary. by his third wife died three buried in West Haven a few weeks ago and his nephew. Arthur, son of Charles Raymond, who is a brother of the deceased died recently. Charles Raymond has been long ai1ing and he has not been informed of the death of his son Arthur. aFs

 Supt. of Police Birmingham and Sanitary Inspector David w, Lynch had a good word to say to-day of the big fleartedness of the deceased. Ray mond was a native of Easton where his family had resided for generations.

MADAME SEMBRICH
 RECEIVES OVATION
Mir. LaForge Receives
 Abundant Applause for His Interpretations of

Madame Marcetla Senbrich receiv- ed last night perhaps as great an ova- people of Bridgeport. Enthusiasm ran riotously through the audience from the highest pinnacle of the gal lery to the most fashionable box oc- cupants. Even Paderewsky, idol of the fair sex, failed on his Bridgeport appearances to evoke anything like the demonstration of last evening.
 Assisting the prirna dona were Fran cis Rogers, baritone, and Frank La Forge, pianist MT. Rogers was, per haps, unknown to the majority of the audience until this recital; but the inn pression made by him will doubtless cause any of the musicians present to hear him again and as often as pos- sible. His baritone is truly rich. Each note was perfect from the low t"The Clowns sSerenade'' and the .Bor- der Balad'' it would be difficult to choose, the sweetly pathetic, winning tones of the former equaling and be ing equaled by the perfection of the bold, martial spirit of the latter MT. Rogers is an artist of the highest or der.
 It is needless to say that MT. La Forge elicited abundant applause. His program was devoted to Chopin. The first two numbers brought out his easy interpretation of the mystical Chopin The last selection, the ETude in C fiat was the most popular with the audience. It was executed with a master technique and a most en- chanting musical Interpretation.
 Madame Sembrich quite captivated the audience in the graceful manner in which she forced MT. LaFtorge to acknowledge part of the applause.
 The sevoce di Primavera" called for the most effort on the Prima Donna's programme; and she was fully equal to the work.
 4 Madame Sernbrich seems to retain the same power to charm in the same wonderful way. Esisf tS < It was after her waltz song that en- thusiasm reached the climax. No one, attempted to leave the theatre but all continued to applaud until she graciously seated herself at the piano and in an impromptu manner execut ed a charming little song.
 The Wednesday Afternoon Musical Club has made music lovers of Bridge port it's debtors for rare evening of purest music.
