tucking a brilliant red rose
in full bloom in the neck
line of her black ensemble,
while Mrs. Black was in a
Navy blue redingote, with a
matching scarf polka dotted
in red. Her brimmed red
straw hat, so becoming to
her prematurely white hair,
was truly a harbinger Of
Spring. Mrs. Harris smart
brown costume had a color
full print trimming on the
bodice and her brown balli-
buntl hat boasted bouquet
Of gay flowers.
Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss and

Goodwin was Ill abed with a
cold.

not return to claim the furniture 1t was sold to some one else.
 The novel feature Of the new plan of disposing of the furniture at present in the unclaimed depart ment is that the money which has been paid by the prospective buyer will be given to the new purchaser. Thus, the shopper who buys a set of furniture, or single piece, re- ceives now not only the furniture itself, but the money originally paid down on it.
 The new store on Canal street, which will handle all this unclaimed furniture. will be under the man. agement of Charles Marcey, who has been with Albert's tor four years. He invites all his friends to drop in when the store opens for business tomorrow morning. The first 150 people who visit the new store will receive smoking stands free. There is ample room for cars to park right beside 49 Canal street.
 Among the furniture sets obtain able are living room sets, dining rooms, bedrooms, and three and four-room sets.

1nB group Ildy IidVc tiiS Ahini word if any attempts are made to outs James J. Hartley as chairman of the town committee and Attorney John F. Tobin as member of the committee. Its leaders refuse to commit themselves on whether or not they favor the plan, advanced by a strong ID group, for realign- ment with the regular Democratic party.
 Wordy Battle
 Heads of the third faction believe that the party is using poor judg- ment in engaging in a wordy battle of recriminations at this time, and are hopeful of a peaceful settlement. However, they are definitely opposed to any program which would give leadership of the party to Senator George Culhane, and will follow any plan which is in opposition to this step. They are likewise luke warm about the proposed candidacy of William ripper" Conley for state senator from the 18th district.
 lL appears that ratleT Lnan sup port Senator Culhane in any at- tempt to make the Independent Democratic party an entrant in state politics, the newly disclosed faction will favor a re-allegiance with the regular Democratic party.
 Tobin Influential
 An attempt on the part of Secre- tary Lester Lonergan, Eugene Shee- han or other ID leaders to oust Messrs. Hartley and Tobin will prob- ably run into much opposition. It was only with his acceptance of the post of town committeeman two weeks ago that Attorney Tobin openly appeared as an Independent Democratic leader, though it had been known for several years that he was perhaps the most influential member of the party.
 The next step is apparently up to the Lonergan-Sheehan faction, and they will probably pause to consider before attempting an custer move against Hartley and Tobin.

He was born in Water bury April 19, 1854, and was grad uated from Yale in 1879. He was a 32d degree Mason, a member of Continental lodge and Clark con- mandery.
 He leaves one son, George Rob- bins, Jr., of New Bedford, at whose home he died; grand child, Cynthia Robbins of New Bedford; one sister, Mrs. Marion Robbins Phippeney of Tampa Fla; and two nieces, Mrs. w. E. Duddridge, of Fitchburg, Mass. :: and Mrs, Frank B. O'Neill Of Woodbury.

that reason all of those allega- tions are proper pleading.
 In the same way, as regards the allegations that O'Connor re- linquished to Hayes the power to retain legal counsel for the City, even though that may not be criminal act in itself, it is alleged to be unlawful act urder the city charter, and in any event is al- legged to have been done in pur- suance of the conspiracy. It is not essential that every overt act done in furtherance of conspiracy be even unlawful and if it is an overt act done in furtherance of a conspiracy it is proper to alleged 1t in the information whether unlawful or not.
 Several of the accused ask that the allegations as to the pro- visions of the charter and the methods of keeping the books and records of the city be expunged on the ground that they are allega- tions of law and irrelevant. Tech nically the provisions of a city charter are not public law. At least it is proper to plead them. And, in any event, the allegations Of these facts are reasonably necessary to make understandable the allegations as to how these de- fendants violated the charter pro- visions and manipulated the books and records so as to accomplish the purposes of their alleged con- spiracy. The same is true with reference to the allegations con- corning the use of Autographed checks with the facsimile sigma ture of the City Clerk which the accused Kelly moves to expunge.
 The accused Leary moves to ex- punge all of the allegations of acts done more than five years before the institution of this action on the ground that those acts are barred by the statute of limitations. As pointed out above, his contention on that score is not good law. If the conspiracy, as is alleged, is 8 continuing con- spiracy none of the acts done pursuant to it are outlawed. For that reason the allegations as to those acts should not be ex- punged.
 Several of the accused object to the allegations that the purpose of the conspiracy was to defraud not only the City of Waterbury but also "the residents and tax payers thereof" That allegation does not seem to be unduly pre- judicial and, in any event. it is warranted because in the last analysis, if the City is damaged by the loss of money that loss falls back on the residents and taxpayers of the City.
 Finally, some of the defendants move to expunge all of the in- formation except that portion which alleges that conspiracy was formed for certain unlawful purposes. That is, what they want stricken out are all of the allega- tions of overt acts done in pur- suance of the conspiracy. As noted above it is proper pleading to allege such overt acts and therefore those allegations should not be expunged.
 There are several other requests to expunge various matters but in the light of the general consid- erations set forth in the opening two paragraphs of this memoran- dunn, 1t is apparent that they must be denied.
 All of the motions to strike out and all of the motions to expunge from the information are denied.
