President Clark of the ed funds to continue the litigation when MT. Corbin refused to put up any more money, but MT. Brandeis, so far as he knew, had no knowledge of this.
 Mark Sullivan, editor of Golfers Weekly, testified that Golfers paid MT. Brandeis $25.000 as its attorney at the Ballinger- -Pinchot investigation in 1909 and that Brandeis received $2.636 ad- ditional in reimbursements. Charles E. Kelley, counsel for Golfers, testi- fled that between MT. Brandeis and himself he understood MT. Brandeis intended that it should not be known he appeared for Golfers. Senator Works pointed out that MT. Brandeis appeared on the record as counsel for l.. R. Glavis, former land office official, who had made charges against Form ar SacEataEy Ra11inGaE.

In all probability this will be the last affair of the kind to be held in this commodious hall, owing to a recent decision of the federal government forbidding it's rental.
 During the past few weeks, under the direction of their president, Mrs. Frank T. Sylvia, the different com- mittees and members have labored earnestly to make this important af- fair the financial as well as the social success it has been in the past. Their efforts, judging from present indica- tions, point to one of the most bril- liant events ever held in Norwich.
 The demand for boxes has been un- usually large. there being but few unsoId at this early date. The tick cts, too, have met with a ready sale.
 The music will be by Drew's aug mented orchestra of 12 pieces. Prof. Drew has arranged an exceptionally fine program of up to the minute music.
 Another interesting feature of this years ball will be the large number of out of town visitors invited. New London, Westerly and Willimantic will Send large delegations of their young people.
 The decorations will be by Hart ford decorating concern and will be distinctive and unique.
