ATTORNEYS CLUB IS ON ITS LAST LEGS
Legal Tender Club of New London
 About to Be Wound Up.

Once more the saying that calami- ties never come singly is borne out as true. Right on the heels of the Claf- lin companys failure comes the report go out of business, says the New Lon don Day. The Legal Tender club, composed of several of the leading lights in the legal fraternity of New London and Mystic, and also of Nor wfch--the Rose of New England must not be overlooked-is soon to go into liquidation and the news has created as much of a sensation among the at torneys of this city and vicinity as did the crash of the Clafiin company last week in the mercantile world. And this is not to be wondered at be- cause the Leyal Tender club was a power of influence in New London and among the legal lights. The club was composed of five members two near members, one honorary member. The duly qualified members are State At torney Hadlai A. Hull. Attorney c. Hadlai Hull. Attorney Frank l.. Mc- Guire Attorney George C. Morgan and Attorney Warren B. Burrows: Attor- hey Frederick l.. Latimer and Attor- ney Henry Pettis of Norwich are the near members and ex-Mayor Charles F. Thayer of Norwich Is the honorary member A local newspaper man is a member ex-officio but he is too mod
 
 A petition is to be filed in the su- perior court in Norwich to have the organization go into liquidation. All the members of the club-even the
 near members and others join in the petition. The near-members charge that the club has not lived up to its charter
 There is some discussion among the
 real members of the club as to wheth- CT the near-members have a right to join in the petition, claiming that they have never actually qualified and are not entitled to a voice in the matter The near-members. however, are so | persistent in the matter that the mem- | bers are disposed to let the matter 1 drop bcause as one of them stated The least said the better" Of course. if the petition is filed as anticipated, a receiver will have to l be appointed and it is said that every l member of the legal fraternity of New 1 London. Norwich f and surrounding places is striving for the appointment i and it is expected that a bitter contest will develop.
 As usual. two factions have devel- oped for the appointment of receiver i The majority, consisting of the duly 1 qualified members, have candidate i from among their own number for the 1 position while it is whispered that the ! near-memberS are attempting to ring l In a rank outsider. The outcome Ol l the court in settling the matter is be | ing awaited with interest.
 | The club was organized about foul l years ago and for a time an active In terest was displayed by the members
 It was the outcome of a bet precipi tated by a discussion regarding | legal tender" and the loser was |, | banquet the winner.
 | The bet was decided against Georg' C. Morgan and he agreed to buy q feet

Gas & Electric department, Norwich, Connecticut.
 When call for the pulmotor is to the place needed in the department automobile or if that happens not to be at the office. another car will be secured.
 Since having the pulmotor, the Nor wich department has already found a place for Its use, as on a recent ex- cavation job in Greeneville four men In succession were overcome by the fumes of gas in six foot excavation. On one of them the pulmotor was used, but the other three revive with out its use
 A recent nearby illustration of the value of the pulmotor was given in Westerly in a drowning case A small boy was pulled from the water apparently hfeless and Tas given u2 for dead by three doctors. The pond where the boy had fallen in was some distance outside the town and 1t was 20 minutes before the boy was brought in and given pulmotor treat ment. In 23 more minutes the boy was restored to animation and the doctor was taking him home in his au- tomobile to his overjoyed parents.
 The pulmotor has an arrangement nose after the tongue has been drawn forward to clear the air passages With the tongue fastened this way the machine is started pumping anC works automatically till stopped.

The Norwich Gas & Electric depart ment has purchased a pulmotor which is available to the people of Norwich.
 It Is a life saving device against death by asphyxiation in order to have available means of resuscitation for employees who may become asphyxi- ated from gas.
 To the average person the Pulmo- tor is more or less an unknown de- vice, but many wonderful cases are on record where seemingly dead bodies have been brought back to life by the use of this instrument. The patients include cases of drowning, asphyzia- tion from gas, electric shock and fire men overcome by smoke or fumes of any character, while even apparently dead-b born babies have been brought to life.
 Briefly, the instrument is a device for supplying oxygen or a mixture of oxygen and air to the lungs with the same rythm as normal respira- ton, the action being the pumping of oxygen into all the air cells of the lungs, after which the cells are emp tied as in normal respiration.
 This instrument, in addition to be- ing ready for employees of the Gas & Electric department is placed at the service of the people of Norwich thrcgh their physicians, and in any case of asphyziation instrument can be obtained at the scene of trouble by telephoning to the office of the

Few Dollars.

OKLAHOMA CITY,. April H.
The Campaign of ex-convicts" for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of Oklahoma took an unex-
pected turn here when Al ]. Jennings,
former train robber, outlaw and con-
vict, made his first speech in his
home city.
In the course Of his speech Jen-
nings displayed and read to his au-
dience an affidavit from George
Crump, Jr, another former convict,
whose entry into the race for Gov
ernor attracted so much attention, de-
claring that he had been induced to
enter the race wholly to cast ridicule
on Jennings candidacy, and that the
politicians who had caused him to
announce his candidacy had promised
TO take care Of him." but had failed
to do so.
Names Supreme Judge.
Among the men named in Crump's
affidavit as having advised bis can
didacy was Judge Williams, who re-
Gently resigned from the Supreme
Court to promote his own campaign,
The description OF his interview
with Williams, with which Crump's
dt1daVit opened, was heard Win es-
pecial interest, in view of the fact
that williams has been ordained as a
minister OF the Methodist Church
South
Jim Bolen introduced me to VIII
liams We talked-that is, Williams
talkedA-and Williams asked me to
give out an interview announcing my
candidacy for Governor against AL
Jennings. l said l was broke, and
would like a chance to live until /
could find something to do, and, be-
sides, l wished to talk to few Of my
friends.
Offers Him Money.
Later / went and talked with Fred
Parkinson at Don Lawhead's office.
Lawhead told me Williams would take
care of me, and that he wanted me
to announce for Governor against Al
Jennings so he would not have to an
swer Al And he said-Fred Parkin-
son, State Examiner, said-he would
get me Uney from Williams-that he
was the only man who had any.
II am not for Al Jennings. l am
not for any man. L am just making
myself public. I have been mistreat-
ed. and l have bene wronged, and /
expect to be mistreated worse than
