To Extend Membership.

At the meeting of the Weatogue Country club held in the chapel of the Congregational church last evening it was voted to extend the membership limit of the new club to 200 instead of 15O. This action was taken owing to the fact that there are about 17O applications for membership now be- fore the executive committee.
 Fine progress was reported at the meeting last night and 1t was voted to have a grand opening day with field sports, tournaments, and con- tests of various kinds on Saturday af- ternoon, June 21. The club house will now be completed within 8 week or so and if clear weather prevails the tennis courts will be ready for use in three days. The golf links are in use already and many are going over them every day getting thoroughly familiar with the course.

Fox's LYRIC THEATRE
(By the Fox Lyric Press Agent.


 Judging by the advance sale for to- day and Saturday this, the opening week of the summer engagement of Eleanor Cleveland and her players will prove to be en1inently successful finan- cially and artistica1Iy and there is ev- cry reason to believe that the six weeks engagement originally planned for will have to be extended through the entire summer to satisfy the de- mands- of the large following Miss Cleveland and her associate players have It is surely a trudsm that tal- ent will not remain hidden and will come into its own and it was never more exempliffed than in the case of this clever little star whose fourteen months starring in this city at the Lyric has endeared her to thousands of loyal patrons and loyalty on the part of patrons is g. big contributing factor in the success of any theatre. The opening play tDdvorcons'' was a happy selection for it is of the light comedy order and serves to show the entire cdmpany in modern dress which is always a good policy to pursue for the opening Royal receptions are rendered to Miss Cleveland and MT. Conness at each performance and the company is, unique in that every mem Der has a. big following. For the com ing weeks attraction '"The Deserters has been selected primarily because AA- it when she played it last season that her followers pledged her to play 1t if she ever returned to Bridgeport. One thing Miss Cleveland always does is to keep faith with the public, in bus mess and professionally, and 1.-The De- serters'' will be the bill To those not familiar with the play it might be explained that it was written for Helen Wares first starring tour and enjoyed a long run at the Hudson theatre with Miss Ware in the stellar role. It is a tale of army life and has the punch. There are twenty-six spea king parts and there are thirty people on the stage during the ac- tion of the play. Miss Cleveland in. the leading role has to her credit newspaper reviews which agree that it was the hit of her season when here last. Stage Director Hummel is in his element with the producing of this play and with the added wealth of scenery and the added bits of stage business introduce the play cannot fail of being the biggest sort of a success Seats for remaining perform ances this week and all of next are on sale now at the box office and the subscription list for the entire season is open and rapidly filling.

BANKS STANDON
BILL Of LADING
UPHELD
Coles Defends Georgia AssOcia-
ton in Refusal to Handle Paper
When Cotton Is Damaged.

Congressman Adamson. Of Georgia.
in an interview, condemned the atti-
tude Of the Georgia Bankers Associa-
ton in announcing that its members
Will refuse to handle through bills OF
lading on cotton if the bills are in
numbered with notations of damage
to the cotton.
Among other things, he quoted
English bankers and receivers OF cot
ton az saying that they do not object
to such qualifying clauses in the bills
of lading.
A. P. Coles. vice president Of the
Central Bank and Trust Corporation.
takes the Congressman to task.
Il am quite aware of the fact that
English banks and receivers Of cotton
do not object to the qualified bills of
lading," he said The fact is. l am
sure they heartily approve the action
Of the steamship companies. Why?
Because 1t gives the banks the priv
lege Of accepting the drafts condition
ally, which means that they will have
the right of action against all in
dorsers Of the draft for any claims
son Of the conditional clauses in the
bills Of lading. This also applies 20
the receivers of cotton abroad
Heretofore claims for damaged
cotton have been made by the receiv-
ers abroad against the steamship
companies, for the reason that the
through bills of lading have always
been without any restriction clauses
in them. Now a bill of lading is
sued with the clause, Cotton wet or
Ten bales wet will mean that the
receiver may have claim on the ex-
porter because it is so expressed in
the bill of lading.
IF the exporter fails to pay this
claim, then the accepting bank will
have claim against all the banks in
dorsing the bills of exchange. This
question has been settled by the
United States courts and there is no
doubt about It,
ANY Georgia bank that will indorse
draft drawn against cotton with
bill of lading attached with restricted
clause in the bill Of lading will be
liable for the claim against the cot
ton, Notwithstanding what Congress-
man Adamson has to say on the sub
ject. Furthermore, the New York
banks will positive1v decline to in
dorse or handle such drafts"
