L 100 1125 $2,425 $49,145 The idea of disposing of the boxes for the big Thermos Civic ball, by auction sale, was an excellent one, and as the result the 41 boxes were all s0ld and brought $544. The eleven large boxes brought an average of $22, while $10 was the price pald for the small boxes. F. J. King and T. C Murphy directed the sale. About fifty were in attendance at the auction sale, and it occupied an hour and a_half before all were dis- posed of,» The feature of the whole affair was the work of the auctioneer, Rutherford C. Plaut, whose ability in that line is well known. He kept the crowd in fine humor, which had good influence on the prices obtained. He had a line of talk which made good with his hearers and brought forth ood-natured rivalry for the boxes. The highest price paid was $36 for box 21, which was taken by Thomas H. Crawford, the prices on the big boxes being invariably started at $10 to $15 and run up to $20 to $25. Mr. Crawford had first choice, while sec- ond and third cholce went to J. Dana Colt, who secured boxes 22 and 23, for $22 and 523, through the bidding of Mr. Eyberse. T C. Smith secured box 19 for $20, while box 18 went to George W. Carroll for $25. For the same figure R. C. Plaut bid in box 20. Bax 24 brought 24 from B. E. Perr and box 18 was knocked down to Mr. Carroll for $18. Major Hagberg bought box 1 for $15 and box 25 went to G, W. Carroll for §15. Box 41 was knocked down to Judge Avling for $22. When it came to the smaller boxes, they went to A. H. Chase, J. F. Wil iams, John H. Ford, C. Leslie Hop- kins, BEverett Goodwin, W. W. Lang, W. L. Moran, W. M. Buckingham, G. W, Carroll, the prices being $10, except in two cases, Mr. Goodwin get- ting one for 39 and Mr. Carroll paid $11 for another. At the close Mr. Carroll announced that he would take the remainder at $10 each, making 17 in all which he had bought. On the small boxes he was acting for the committee who realized that the boxes would fetch $10 at least on private sale and they will be placed on sale At the sub-station in the Boston store today, together with the seats in the | Talcony large Mr. Carroll retains the three xes. Master Builders Give $100. There was a meeting of the Master Builders’ agsociation on Tuesday eve- ning, at which it was voted to con- tribute §100 to the Thermos fund.

The first came in the morning from the Fenton-Charnley Building company, and the second in the after- noon directly after 4 o'clock, that be- Ing from the Norwich Retail Liquor Dealers’ association, secured through the work of George Greenberger. E. C. Jewett secured the subscription in the morning. Teams Report $2,425. When the teams met in the head- quarters at moon they reported the sum of $2.425. The meeting at noon was an enthusiastic one, and it was voted that hereafter if for any reason a man is qualified better than another to secure a subscription, he can be re- leased to another team for that pur- pose. The largest amount for the day was reported by Captain Jewett's team, while the largest total for team work by any team thus far is by Captain Case's, with a total of %$3,650. The retail liquor dealers’ contribu- tion, together with a number of small- er contributions received after noon on Tuesd:y, sent the amount of con- i tributfons ever the $5,000 mark. These amounts, however, g0 to the credit of today's report. when it is expected that the daily average of the past sev- eral days will be maintained. There are now 16 days in which to secure | the remaining $25,000, and all the committees feel comfident that it will be secured. By Saturday night it is thought that a great part of the re- mainder will have been pledged. Letter to Former Residents.

Be- cause of the many senators who wish- ed to speak on the bill and the agree- ment previously reachdd on this legis- in- lative day, the senate, after a running fire of constitutional attack on the measure, recessed at six o'clock to- night until noon tomorrow. i Senator Gallinger opposed the bill as contemplating an unwarranted in- trusion into priv affairs. He dis cussed ctiticisms of the reports made v a child labor investigation a few years ago and said those reports re- vealed nothing worse than tlhie “turkey trot” darice, in vogue in Washington citq. Mr, Heyburn attacked it as a discrimination” against the poor and Senator Overman branded it as un- necessary. Senator Smith of Georgia made his maiden speech in support of ‘the bill He declared it would be of vast ben- efit to children without interfering with state rights. enator Bailey attributed the bill's popularity to the influence of women who, he said, should confine their at- tention to subjects outside the halls of legislation. “The more a woman knows about the things she ought to know,” he said, “the less she kn about the things we are doing her nator Stone characterized the bill as inquisitorial and involving unlimit- ed expenditures. Senator Borah, au- thor of the bill, said it was as much warranted as many of the existing government offices.

Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 30.—Robert Ewing, middle Tennessee members of. the Woodrow Wilson committee, re- signed from the committee today, giv- ing as his reason “the extreme per- sonal bitterness which has lately de- veloped between my brother-in-law, Henry Watterson, ~and my friend, Woodrow Wilson." Mr. Ewing has been active in Governor Wilson's be- half for some time. but soon after Mr, Watterson openly became a part of ihe Harvey-Wilson incident he gave out a statement upholding Mr. Wat terson’s contention. In his letter of resignation, Mr. Ew- ing said “When 1 accepted the place now resigned, nothing resembling what has happened was even dreamed of. I have had no word of any nature from Mr. Wilson or from Mr. Watterson in relation to the action 1 now take. My determination to do nothing official or personal which might in any way whatever wound Mr. Watterson alone impels my action. At the same time, 1 feel it is but right that Governor Wilson should be represented in this by one in no way embarrassed; hence thie resignation “Mr. Watterson has given this morn- ing his final statement as to his views of the controversy, I suppose we may look for a like statement from Gov- ernor Wilson.
