Bowen. There was quite an attend- {ance of creditors and their represent: atives &mong the legal fraternity. The hearing lasted all day and the exami- nation of the bankrupt was not com-— pleted. Attorney E. Frenk Bugbee appeared for Mr. Feiner and Attorneys George W. Melony, T. J. Kelley, George E. Hinman of this city and Attorney L. N. zZisman of Providence, R. I, repre- sented a large number of different creditors. Eighty-one claims were proven be- fore the referee prior to the opening of the hearing. The schedule showed that Mr. Feiner has liabilities of $21.- 925.15 and the estimated assets, count- ing all the claims that he holds against different people, total approxi- mately haif that figure. After a_careful canvass of the cred- itors Mr. Feiner has secured the neces- sary majority to allow him to make a setilement under the law for 25 cents on the dollar. The request to file an application for a compromise was de- nied by the referee at Saturday’'s hear- ing on the ground that the bankrupt had not been entirely examined. Va- rious attorneys contended that such an application_could be filed, as the ex— amination had been commenced. Attorney Melony, representing & number of claimants, examined ~the bankrupt and laid particular stress upon a number of notes that figured in the grist of proven claims, more par- ticularly to several put in as claims of Aaron Feiner, a brother of the bankrupt. The notes in question rang- ed from $200 to something over $1,000. Many questions were asked relating to a number of other notes indorsed by Providence and other parties. Mr, Feiner explained in every instance that the consideration of same had been cash or merchandise and that he had deposited some of it in the Windham National bank and some in the Italy- Britannica American of Providence, as he carried two accounts, and_that he used same in connection with his busi- ness. | Attorney Melony brought out the fact that Mr. Feiner had but two ac- count books since he had been doing business in this city the past four years or 5o, and on a motion the court ordered Mr. Feiner to produce same in court before the examination completed. He was also ordered to | present the different passbooks that he | bad used with both banks since doing business here, as well as all memo- randa and slips of paper connected in gny way with his business interests, before the examination was completed. A number of questions regarding his previous bankruptcy in Providence. some few years ago, were asked, but Tre, objected to by counsel for Mr. einer. Afterncon Sessibn. After court reconvened in the after- noon the examination was continued by Attorney Melony. who asked many questions about a dozen or more notes aggregating something like $3,500. At- torney Kelley took up the examination HIRAM N. FENN, UNDERTAKER and EMBALMER §3 Church St. Willimantie, Ct Telepbone. Lady Assistant ntic, Danielsona where Attorney Melony left off and his examination was very thorough, relat- particularly to the Feiner Cap company, of which Mr. Feiner was at one time a partner with his brother Aaron in Providence, and the Willimantic notes, so-called, because ing more they were executed by men here. At- torney Kelley and Attorney Jisman of Providence had a run-in or-two and the visiting attorney appeared to be “in wrong.” The hearing was ad- journed until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, when the examination will be_continued. The session was full of amusing and interesting sidelights and the glint of fire was common, as the sparring be- tween the attornéys was exceptionally spirited. HOSPITAL BENEFIT Attracts a Big Crowd on Saturday Evening—Many Attractive Features. There was an enormous crowd in attendance at the fair in town hall Saturday evening beinz held by the Ladies’ auxiliary for the benefit of St. Joseph's hospital. The ladies of Wind- ham certainly know how to do things and the way the male members pres- ent anteed was a sure indication that the fair will be the biggest success ever held under similar ausplces. Merwers of Division 1, A. O. H., per- formed the routine work in connection with the night's activities. John Col- lins gave a number of illustrated songs that were well received. Dancing at- tracted a large number, but the crush was so great that it was very difficult to dance with any degree of comfort. Mayor Dunn's prediction that the La- gies’ auxiliary will realize five thou- sand_dollars as a result of thelr un- tiring efforts seems in a fair way to become an actuality, if the interest continues as manifested on Friday and Saturday evenings. Carpenters’ Union Demands New Wage Scale. Notice has been received by con- tractors and builders that a new wage scale is demanded by the local Car- penters’ union. A contractor is authority for the text of the notice received, which is as follows: “Please take notice that from the 1st of April, 1910, we carpenters and joiners of the local union shall receive as the minimum scale of wages $3 per day for eight hours’ work outside and nine hours in shops, and a half holi- day on Saturdays, with the same wages.” At present the minimum wage pald carpenters in this city s 32.50 per lay. It is understood that the action on the part of the carpenters is on ac- count of the great rise in the price of all commodities, particularly 1n_ the food 1line, and the lack of work for a considerable portion of the year. posbir il C.

The fifteenth annual report of the trustees of the Day-Kimball hospital, ready for distribution, and the reports ot the woman's board, treasurer and superintendent of the imstitution, in- cluded in the same book, furnish facts and figures for a comprehensive review of the work that has been done at the hospital during the term covered by thoss records and establish that more patients have come within its care than ever before. This fact I8 referred to In the trus- tees’ report, which is in part as fol- lows: “The year has shown the same steady and satisfactory increase as in the past In the affairs of our hospital. This year is probably the most impor- tant in the history of the hospital, as, through the help and generosity of friend. the need of greater facllities will be supplied. A year ago a gift of $5,000 was made 40 us by Mrs. George Lothrop Bradley of Pomfret for the purpose of building an addition to the hospital, to be used primarily for pri- vate rooms, which should be larger, better ventilated and less nolsy than those in the main butding. This generous gift was in memory of her husband and is to be named after him. At the same time we were led to hope that the same donor might later give $2,000 more, which hope now been realized. ‘The first apecifications for the ad- n proved too expensive, but the cost was finally brought down to ap- proximately $15,500, and this without essential loss In the desired objects, nor, we hope, in the artistic appear- ance of the building. Many things which might be termed luxuries, how- ever, were sacrificed. “Work is now well under way on the addition, and, we trust, on or before May lst, will be open to the public. “In addition to the above benefac- tions, we have also received the gift of $1,000 from Dr. F. C. Goodbridge of Pomfret, this generous donation to be used for equipping our elevator to run by electricity.” Mention is also made in the report of a gift during the year of $1,000 from the woman's board and a gift of $500 from Mrs. J. Sprague Bard of bered and the medical cases 50.
