 PROGRAM SALE NETS $430
Total Receipts for Show May Not Equal Last
 Years.

Although the receipts for the sale of tickets for '"The Red Mill" were perhaps equal to those of last years society production, it is said that the net receipts may not equal those of last year on account of the increased expenses. The sum given to charity last year was $2,0OO.
 It is not expected that a financial statement will be issued by Mrs. c. E. Wetmore for several weeks. AS much as possible of the costumes stage properties, and the paraphernalia used in the show will be disposed of before a final auditing of the &C., counts is made.
 The candy committee, of which Mrs. Theodore Brown was chairman sold $2O5 worth of candy. The boxes for the candy were furnished by the Minor & Corbin Box company and the candy was homemade so that there was practically no expense at tached to this feature.

MAY OVERRIDE VETO
 OF IMMIGRATION BILL
Question Up For Determination in House Today.-Two-third Ma
 iority of Votes Necessary.

Washington, Feb. 4.--Whether President Wilson's veto of the inn migration bill because of its restric- tive literaCy test shall be overr!ddcn was the question up for determination in the house today. A two-thirds maj jority is necessary to override the veto.
 This was the third time that presidential veto of an immigration bill containing a literacy test provi- sion has come before the house. Eff forts heretofore to pass the measure over the executives head have failed; and there was much interest in the outcome of today's struggle.
 The bill was to come up on motion of Representative Burnett, chairman of the immigration committee, to reconsider the vote by which it origin ally was passed and to pass 1t de- spite the presidents disapproval.

STOCK ON MARKET.
North and Judd Shares Will Probably
 Be Traded With From Now on.

It has been announced by local stock brokers interested in the sale of New Britain and Hartford shares that ap- proximately 5000 shares of North and Judd stock have been recently market ed and disposed of after the settle ment of the Pope estate of Farming ton. The announcement is of un- usual interest as it means that this stock will now, at times appear in the sales quotations. The firm has been more or less of closed corpor- ation since its organization, but the disposal of the large Pope block made conditions such that there will be trading in the shares from this time on.
 Many of the shares thrown on the market were taken up by officers at North and Judd's. A great deal of it is held, however, by investors in both city and in Hartford.
