 That in both these cases all the de- fendants defaulted and an order was entered Dec. 29. 1919, granting a mo- ton for a decree pro cOnfeSSO. That in the open court in Hartford in an effort to open said defaults in said cases in equity Arthur M Marsh, and William H. OSHara. both of Bridge port, and attorneys at-1aw, stated that there was no interest then due on cerain mortgages held by one Zal- mon GOOdSeH on the real prOpery owned by the Fairfield Park Building Corporation.
 That there were no debts owed by said corporation except to the First Bridgeport National Bank to the amount of $4,600 and that they would provide letters from the mortgages and said bank to substantiaIe said also stated to the court that he repre- sented the mortgagee, Zalmon Good sell and would speak for him. That both said attorneys at the time well knew that said statements were false O'Brien asks in his petition that an order be issued upon both Attorney Arthur M sMarsh and William H. O'Hara asking that they appear to show cause. if any there may be, why the demands of petitioner should not be granted, and why an order should not be issued striking the names of Marsh and O'Hara from the rolls of the United States courts and that said attorneys be disbarred from practising in any court in the United States.

Senate Will Spurn Bill, leaders s Say
Declares Present Payment Plan Will
 Not Be Benefit to World War Veterans.

Washington. June 21-Presi- dent Harding will veto the sol diers bonus bill, if it is passed finally by Congress in the form in which Chairman McCumber of the Senate Finance Commit tee reported it to the Senate Administration leaders who have conferred lately with the President on the bonus situa- ton declared today.
 Another Prediction.
 The prediction was also made by them that despite McCumber's ex- pressed belief that the President will sign the bill, the measure will not be whipped into such shape as the Presi- dent is likely to approve.
 The official White House statement that the Presidents position on the bonus is still the same as described in his letter to Chairman Fordney of tee, on Feb. 16, was accepted by the administration leaders as indicating unmistakably that the President would refuse to sign such bill McCumber sponsored.
 Senator Borah of Idaho, an avowed opponent, pointed out that the Presf- dent in his letter to Fordney more than four months ago stated unquali- fedly that Ut is not an agreeable thing to suggest that action be post poned again but, frankly, I do not find myself favorable to the piece meal payment plan, which is mani- festly designed to avoid embarrass- ment to the treasury. The long drawn out payments will not afford an effective helpfulness to the service

Today officially ushers in Sum- mer. Some SharDS say today is the longest day in the year, while others say that tomorrow sounds the bell.
 Experts are of the opinion that there is not enough difference in any of the dozen days immediate ly around us to grow an extra blade of grass.
 Charts and calendars show that every day from June 16 through June 27. has exactly 15 hours and 10 minutes sunshine. in this isti- tude. Scientists agree that sum- mer officially begins at P min utes past midnight (stantI;.rd time) Thursday.
 At that hour the sun reaches it's fartfeSt point north. - Those experts who make a study of those things say that the only ones who worry about the longest and shortest days of the year arc the layTnen.
