Although the Rotary club has con- tributed about $612 to the mainten- ance fund and $480 to the housing fund, a special contribution from the club treasury of 50 cents was turned over to the fresh air editor today be- cause of Dr. C.

Two members refused to pay the fine and in the argument which followed the 50 cents found its way into the fresh air fund. A check from the Swedish Bethany church for $10 was received today also.

FREDERICK J. McENROE DIES AFTER OPERATION Respected Resident of Union Street Fails To Rally And Succumbs At Hospital. Rogers Would Not @ecept Nomina- tion For Governor of State, Hartford, July 24.—A speclal dis- patch from New York to the Hart- ford Times today says that Judge Henry Wade Rogers of the United States circuit court of appeals has de- clded that it would be impossible for him to accept the democratic nomina- tion for governor of Connecticut even it it should be offered him by the state convention of the party. This is contrary to the expectation of many of Judge Rogers' friends who had hoped until today that he would ac- cept the nomination if it were offered to him, according to The Times, Judge Rogers is reported as feeling that the unexpected resignation of Judge Julius Mayer and the ill health of one of the other members of the court make it impossible for him to consider political service at this time, But for these factors it is stated Judge Rogers’ deep admiration for John W. | Davis, democratic presidential nomi- nee might have influenced him to take a receptive aftitude toward the suggestion of his nomination.
