Jonathan Godfrey Head
Of Alliance Franchise

The Bridgeport Groupe, Alliance
Franchise, held its annual and first
meeting Of the season last evening at
the residence of Mrs. William d.
Bishop, on CORTLAND Hill. Jonathan
Godfrty was elected president Of the
organization, Miss Nan G. Fahey
treasurer, and Miss Mary McCord Sec
rotary,
Plans for the season were discussed
and it was decided that as so late
beginning had been made, the dues
usually charged would be cut in half
this year. It Is arranged to have a
lecture in French at the residence OF
Mrs. Bishop late in January or early
in February. Members will be al
lowed to bring guests to this lecture.
The local groups Of the Alliance
Franchise was instituted several years
ago by the late Miss Margaret Som
erset, the prominent teacher of
French, in order to facilitate the study
Of that language here. It has been a
most successful organization which.
entertained many prominent French
lecturers. Those were present at the
meeting last evening included Col.
and Mrs. Valery Hazard, Mrs. Bishop.
Mrs. Samuel G. Shaw, Mrs. e. w.
Harral, Mrs. Walter Wilrpot, Mrs. w.

Rosenthal Released
in Lawyers Custody

Samuel Rosenthal, a jitney driver,
who was arrested on the charge of
burglary with several young men who
have been accused of bhrglarizing
Bridgeport stores, has been released
in the custory of an attorney, to ap-
pear in the city court Wednesday. No
bond was required.
Rosenthal drove the jitney in which
stolen property was transported from
the stores that were broken into, it is
alleged. He admits having acted as
carrier for the young men involved
in the case, but denies being implicat-
ed in the burglary. After an inves-
tigation the police say they have been
unable to connect him with the actual
thefts.
Rosentha1 attempted this morning
to deny he had been arrested or that
any charge had been brought against
him, but later his attorney said he
had, and the police verified the fact
that he was arrested and the charge
Of burglary still stands against him,
although it will not be pressed

The Sn1ith=MurraYCO

signed to Burr.
The method of financing the pres
ent company was a pooling agree
ment of stockholders in the City Title
concern which was sold to purchasers
at between rs and so per cent. of it's
par. The Introduction Of this money
gave. the new concern impetus, and as
Burr testified was planned solely that
he might have position to support
himself.
Though admittedly highly interest
ed in his own welfare, the witness was
unable to state to the master that he
had authorized the purchase of the
insurance business at a figure higher
than $4,000, or whether this was done
sanctioned by Burr.
That the house Of J. P. Morgan &
Co., through Henry P Dawson, is in
terested in the tangled records Of
Fairview Lawn property which have
been dragged forth for inspection of
the court, appeared for the first time
in evidence, yesterday.
Questions as to the trustees re-
lationship to this purchase from Burr
& Knapp just prior to the insolvency,
gagged to Dawson Jan. 81, 1910 but
that the mortgage was not recorded
until Oct. 8, 1914. This strange over
sight became the subject of inquiry
but questioning failed to reveal any
thing irregular.
Burr, whose recollection of the
transaction was most hazy, owing to
the lapse Of time between the tran
saction and the present date. though
refreshed by a reading of his previ-
Gus testimony before Referee John
w. Banks, failed to specify whether
the conveyance was first by mortgage
or by deed. His impression as ex-
pressed to the court, was that a part
Of the land included in contracts of
sale might have been covered by a
deed but that the rest of uncontract-
ed for land, was first the subject of
a mortgage and later of deed. An
alleged telegram from Chamberlain
at Quebec was read into the records
to show that part of the transaction
was first by mortgage and later con-
verified into a deed.
Efforts by witness/ and by letter to
specifically connect John G.. Cham
berlain in the capacity of attorney
for Burr & Knapp were unfruitful
though several letters written by
members Of his firm, at that time,
Chamberlain, Hull & Newman, were
introduced, which it was asserted by
the respondent to the petition were
not actuated by himself.
Portions of the record convicting
Herbert M. Knapp of embezzlement
were read into the present record to
show, it was stated by Attorney Bow
ers, that the trustee at the time
Knapp was compounding a felony,
was aware of the methods being util-
lied by the insolvent banker to avoid
prosecution, and that such knowledge
was an improperly upon the part of
a trustee in bankruptcy.
The allegations of the respondents
counsel as unjust in the extreme and
without the scope of the present ex-
animation
The hearing was continued until
Tuesday, January 9 at 10 o'clock

entries and vouchers are mysteriously
missing. In the words Of young Burr
''the transactions was a mix up af-
fair. In the, first place I had moth
ing I wanted something to go on
in business I had no other resources
than by borrowing from Mrs. Penn
field (of Boston). I had no cash. I
therefore get Mrs. Penfield to assign
to me the mortgage Of Normal Mer-
calve on some property on the east
side of North Main street, which I
think I sold to Oscar Plumb in Mich

credited to my account. With this
money I bought the insurance bust

it."

new DEMOCRATIC
CLUB MAKES ITS
OFFICIAL DEBUT
Fairfield Organization Elects
Mendell r. Perry
President.
Especial to The Farmer)

Fairf.ld, Jan. 6.-The new Fairfield
Democratic club was launched last
night, with the election Of officers and
adoption Of by laws. Mendell r. Per-
ry was elected president, Thomas Car
roll vice president, Edward Flanagan
secretary and Josepr Burlinson, treas
urer.
Edward Russell, H.R. Elwood, J. E.
Boyle, Edward Haley and Hugh Tole
We're elected to the board of directors.
Herbert M. Smith was chosen sergeant
at arms.
The preamble and the first two ar
ticles of the club, adopted last night,
set forth the aims of the organization.
It follows:
1--WE, Democratic voters Of the town
of Fairfield, believe that the best way
to teach and foster the principles Of
Democracy is through organization.
We, therefore, band ourselves together
under the name Of the Fairfield DEM
ocratic club.
article 1.--Section 1. To protect,
maintain and advance the platform
and teachings of our nationals and
local parties of Democratic belief.
Section 2. To esta blish and uphold all
laws that will be for the advancement,
growth and Improvement Of our town,
ever having in mind the best interests
of all our citizens, and to improve our
physical and mental being by social
and educational gatherings"
Eligible for membership is any
voter or one about to be made voter
who has registered or is about to reg
tier with the Democratic registrar of
Fairfield.
Many attended the meeting last
night, which was an adjourned one.
The outlook for the new club is con-
sidered bright as it is believed much
good may be done for the town at
large in the matter of improvements,
while at the same time the principles
of Democracy will be given greater
dissemination.
Starting with a large charter mem
bership it was decided at last nights
meeting to keep the charter open for
an indefinite time. This will enable
enrolment as charter members those
Democrats who were unable to at
tend previous meetings.

MYSTERY OVER
OWNERSHIP OF
TITLE CONCERN
Hervey E. Burr Bought Burr
& Knapp Business But
Only Owns Three Shares

Prime interest in hearings yester-
day for the removal of John c. Cham
berlain as trustee of the bankrupt es-
tate of Burr & Knapp centered in the
mystery surrounding the actual pur-
chaser of the insurance business or
Burr & Knapp, now held by the Title
Guaranty & Trust Go. of this city, and
the whereabouts of certain checks,
and journals in which the transaction
Is recorded.
Coincidentally, though stock own
ership in certain shares of the City
Title Guaranty & Trust Co., now vest
ed in the Title Guaranty e Trust Co.,
is known to have been purchased
through the medium of Hervey T..
Burr, treasurer of the present COM
pany, who admits ownership, ledger
records fail to show that he owns
more than three shares, or the per-
son from whom the money to make
the original purchase was received.
In an effort to get the books which
it has been asserted to the court by
Attorney Spotswood D. Bowers, will
show that the money utilized for the
purchase of the stock and insurance
business of Burr & Knapp actually
came from the creditors of Burr &
Knapp, subpoena has been issued by
Miss Annie Pennoyer, accountant Cor
the Title Guaranty & Trust Co. to
produce the documents in court next
Tuesday when hearings will be re-
sumed,
Disclosures about the rapid rise in
value Of the treasury stock Of the
Title Guaranty & Trust Co., following
the absorption of the Burr e Knapp
business under various sales con-
firmed by Referee John w. Banks,
were wrung from witnesses by the
Special Master, Carleton E. Hoad-
ley.
It appeared under direct examina-
ton of the special master that stock
in the company first sold as low as
80 cents share increased to a maxi
mum of $13 a share.
A chapter in the life of Hervey E.
Burr, who found himself without po-
sition when Burr & Knapp failed, was
related or the witness stand by him
self yesterday.
He told how, possessed of no money
or securities, he had gone forth to
become financier in the purchase Of
the City Title Guaranty & Trust Co.
This he converted into the present
fourishing company by taking the
same business, the same force Of
clerks with few exceptions, and the
mortgage and insurance books of the
older companies. But in the great
maelstrom of financial events that
followed the crash Of Burr & Knapp,
his memory, before the court, was so
greatly impaired that even the com
pany books and checks failed to aid
him in telling where he got the money
and in what manner it was paid out
for the acquisition Of the properties.
That information has not been
forthcoming, because the essential
