held in Putnam ended Saturday night
when the E,lks closed the doors of I'm

the members and their host. of friends
every evening during the past week
not TO mention the Saturday matinee
which drew large, interested and
generous crowd. A page could be
written about the fun that the fail

and another page might be used in
listing the names of those who felt
certain that they would be awarded
the automobile, but let it suffice to sa
that every one conceded that the ant
Tered brethren did themselves proud
in conducting the enterprise, every de-
tail having been carefully thought out
and the necessities for achieving a
success fully anticipated.
While there is much satisfaction tc

though it cannot truthfully be sale
that all of them are satisfied with the
present scale of prices.

J. J. o'DoNovAN's CREDITORS
Meet for Continuance of Hearing
Total Liabilities $50, 000-LareeIy
Due to Lax Bookkeeping.

The creditors of the bankrup t. estate
of James J. O'Donoyan, the Norwich
contractor, held their first meeting
which was begun Saturday. April %,
on Saturday, before Referee in Bank
ruptcy A. J. Bowen.
Facts brought out We're that Mr.
ODonovan had poor system of book
keeping, or, rather. an almost utter
lack of any system. This, as much
as anything, was probably the cause
for his becoming a bankrupt
Attorney Thomas J. Kelley, for the
creditors, began the examination of
the bankrupt. His examination was
an exhaustive one, dealing with the
banl2rupfS books and accounts pri-
marily for the purpose of getting in
formation upon which the trustee may
do his work. but Attorney Kelley did
not colsume any great quantity of
time but confined himself to the salt
ent and more pertinent facts in the
case. The bankrupt was questioned
as to his various book accounts and
said that he thought that he had
turned them all over to the trustee.
He admitted that his method of keep
ing his books and accounts was ex-
tremely lax and that not until 1909 did
he do much in the bookkeeping line.
He did a little in 1908. but in the fol-
lowing year he had made an effort to
put the books in better condition. A
part of the 1edgers had been made up
since he became a bankrupt One
book contained the account of the
convent contract in Taftville, that ag-
gregated $4,000. had been retained by
him, as the trustee thought that it
was not necessary for him to have it,
A couple of other books remained in
his possession for a like reason
He was of the opinion, however, that
the accounts in the trustees posses
sion showed all of his business tran
sactions since he entered upon the
contracting business. He. had done
odd jobs for himself since previous TO
the year 1908.
Confusing Book Accounts.
The system of bookkeeping was then
taken up by Attorney Kelley. The ac-
count of Thomas j. Dodd was read
and from the schedule it disclosed the
fact that Mr.. O'Donovan owed him the
sum of 800. According to both Iedg-
ers although the account was not iden-
teal in both Mr.. Dodd owed him some
thing in excess of 1,100.- Being asked
to explain the discrepancy, Mr.. O'Don-
oyan said that Mr. Dodd had a stand
ing account with him for labor on the
Taftville job and that the money due
him was more than sufficient to 1iqui-
date the balance credited on the ledg-
ers. MIR O'DonoVan. however. admit
ted that he did not know whether he
owed AIR. Dodd or whether Mr. Dodd
owed him. A like circumstance was
