A great many stores throughout the country are holding no garment sales because they say the suits carried over from this year, even though not in the newest styles, will be worth half again as much next year because of the cheaper grades of fabrics that will be offered them.

Save One-third on the
 price of a tailored suit
s tailored stock original p,i


 A sale is an opportunity to buy some thing desirable for less than its actual retail valuation. A sale is important to the extent that it saves those who come to buy. The importance of this sale is two-fold: first, because of the splendid percent of saving -one- third second, because of the high desirability of tho nnarchandise of fered.
 A third off of the price of any tailor ed suit in our stock is, you must ad- init, an advantage you had not hoped to enjoy this early in the season. Of course a month from now that would be no unusual inducement, but com ing now in midseason with the many weeks of winter remaining, a third off is indeed unusual.

the matter. Cur1ey will stand trial

shrink from an investigation into

for two hours, Chairman Henry, Of the

ment:
''Mr. Lawson charged that there was
a leak from the state department to
Wall street some days ago and that
through such an alleged leak certain
individuals by specializing in Wall

LAWSON SENSATIONAL FAKER",

DENOUNClNG DEPARTMENT LEAK

Washington, Jan. 2-Charges of a

profits on it in the stock. market
gained further official attention today
when Senator Stone, Democrat, spoke
on the subject in the Senate, and
Thomas w Lawson, of Boston, con-

possed Congressional investigation.
Senator Stone rose to a question
of personal privilege. He said that
confidential communications concern

into improper hads but said he had

occurred as recently reported. If SO
he believed OF would be traceable to

CONFERENCE HERE
FAILS TO SETTLE
SENATOR'S FIGHT
Judge Bartlett, Shorn of
Kings Support, Won't
Give Up the Battle.
RORABACK LIKELY
TO AID BARTLETT
Local Clubmen Celebrate
Holiday While Senators
Wrestle With Problem.

While the jolly clubmen were gath
ering around the punch bowl last
night a group Of Republican leaders
held a quiet meeting at the Algon-
uuin club at which they tried to
count Judge Frederic A. Bartlett out
Of the race for president Of the State
Senate. Judge Bartlett refused to
rolf over and play dead. This after
noon he said he was still in the race
and left for Hartford to attend the
caucus which will be held there to-
might.
Boss John T. King does not include
Judge Bartlett among his faithful
henehmen so the local leader put his
trust in William III. Hall of Willing
ton.< Hail is a. manufacturer with
plenty OF spare change but he likes
to dabble In politics. He is known
as a man who will stand without
hitching. He and King have been
friendly, and lately Roraback and
Hall have not hitched.
with the opening of the General
Assembly almost at hand the state
leaders wanted the question of senate
leadership decided. So they met in
this city last night. Senator Chas.
Williamson Of Darien and Senator
Frederick M. Salmon of Westport
were among those who took part in
the, conference. Judge Bartlett was
also among, those present but he didn't
stay very long.
. \ Boss King had passed the word
around that Hall was the man for
the senate presidency. This should
have been Judge Bartlett's cue to bow
himself out but he stated this af-
ternoon that he intended to stay in the
race until the matter was decided. He
refused to say what took place at the
conference or who we're there.
The fact that King is behind Hall
has ruffled the feathers of J. Henry
Roraback, the premier lobbyist who
used to rule the roost until the ad-
vent OF King. Since they had a fall
ing out over the political spoils, Rora-
back and King give each other the
ba4eful glare as they pass by.
So Roraback had no intention OF
standing on the sidewalk while King
led the parade down the street. It is
said Rorabaek has been lining up
votes IN different parts Of the state
and will do his utmost to down Hall.
Local politicians said today that Hall
and Bartlett were the only candidates
who had been mentioned for the.place.
Hall has been In the General Assem-
bly, for many ykars and knows the
state political situation like book.
He was a member OF the House in
1893, 1895, 1897, 1909, 1911 and 1913 He
was in the Senate in 1899 and was
elected to that body again in the re-
cent election.
Judge Bartlett's record in the Sem
ate has been so good that his friends
think he is entitled to the presidency.
