Bingham had in his address touched upon colomal history, point- ing out that John Winthrop, Jr., the first governor of Connecticut, was in- terested in science, was a I'ellow of the Royal society and devoted much time to arch and chemistry, facts lost sight of because he is usually recalled as a wise magistrate and servant of the statc. Another citizen in whose memory a welcome was given, was Benjamin Silliman, - first professor of chemistry at Yale, and still another son was Prof. Samuel W. Johnson, the first professor in the college of agricultural chemistry. Charles Goodyear, wventor of the vuleanizing of rubber, also was men- tioned by Col. Bingham who said that it was largely due to the ad- vances made by the modern chemist that during the great war Connecti- cut was the chief arsenal of America. In times of peace, the state is de- pendent for her prosperity in a large measure upon manufactures and ag- riculture. It has long been known as the home of many inventions. Col. Bingham's Remarks.

New York, April 3.—Dectectives continued today their search into the past of Dorothy Keenan who, they learned last night, was senior mem- ber of a stock brokerage house in which her holdings were managed by Alfred E. Guimares, the “man in the jfur coat” who shared her attentions with the wealthy John Kearsley Mitchell of Philadelphia, son-in-law of E. T. Stotesbury.

Friendly Enemy Boston, Mass. New York, April 3.—Miss Cathleen Vanderbilt, only daughter of Reginald C. Vanderbilt and fifth in line of de- scent from the founder of the family Cornelius Vanderbilt, is to be the bride of Henry C. Cushing, 3d, son of a prominent Boston family. The engagement was announced last night by the bride's mother, Mrs. Sidney Jones Colford, Jr. Plans for the wed- ding have not been arranged nor has a date been agreed upon. 4 Miss Vanderbilt has been a muech feted debutante of the present busy season and her engagement to Mr. Cushing often has been rumored, but not announced until her mother made it known at a dinner given to her and her flance. Her mother was Miss Cathleen Neilson whose mother prior to her marriage was Miss Bele Geb- hard one of the most brilliant women in New York society. Reginald Vanderbilt and Miss Neil- son were married at Newport in 1903. About four years ago they were di- vorced and in 1920 Mrs. Vanderbilt| was married to Mr. Colford.
