According to the programme advised for the unions by Mr. Gompers for Arm- istice Day, floais and banners were to be used in a parade and speecheg were to be made at a public gathering, all advo- cating disarmament. This, according to the opinion of members of the Central Labor Union meeting, would not fit in very well with the spirit of the Armitice Day celebration, which would be in honor of the brave Americans who fought and ‘died in the war that came to an end on Armistice Day. It was felt by the meet- ing it is understood, tbat the Central Labor Union members would gladly join as individuals with the different organi- zations to which they helonged in the observance of the Armistice Day pro- gramme, but as their national officers expected labor's observance of the day to be disttnetly along disarmament lines, the C. 1 U. would take no part in the Armistice Day observance as a body.

PLANING MILL AT PROFIT The Columbia Steam Saw and Planing mill,- operated by the Bentley estate, made a profit of between $12,000 and $13,000 a year from 1895 to 1900, al- lowing $5,000 & year for renmtal, accord- ing to the testimony of Edward M. Sweeney, former manager of the mil', at the hearing on the Bentley appeal from the account of Attorney John C. Geary as agent and attorney for Mrs. Julta C. Bentley, administratrix of the estate of the late A. J. Bentley, before Judge Milton A. Shumway in the su- perior court in New London Friday morning, Mr. Sweeney was testifying for the appellants. When court came in Fri- day morning Attorney John C. Geary was recalled to the stand for a brief eross examinafion concerning some or- ders and bank account transfers to which he had previously testified at the conclusion of which the appelles’s case was rested. Negotiated With Geary. Ambrosa Cassara of New London was the first witness for the appeilants and “he testified about some land he bought in Winthrop street from, the Bentley estate. He =alf he bought the Jand in 1903 and that he conducted the mnegotiations with Mr. Geary and that he never saw Mrs. Bentiey 'n the trans- action. The witness sald that the agree- ment, was that he was to buy the land for $1,400 with a first eash nayment of $200 and monthly payments of $20. Mr. Cassara did not remember the exact date of the first payment. bunt he re- called that he made it to Mr. Geary in cash. He thought that he drew the money from the bank for the pavment. He was shown his book an the Savings Bank of New London showing: a with- drawal of $200 on April 24. 1903, and he said that he presumed that this was the money for the first payment. The witness did not recolect whether he made the first payment on the same day he withdrew the money. Mr. Cassara sajd that he made all subsequent pav- ments, both for nrincipal and interest. to Mr. Geary. Although the agreement Was to pay $20 a month, Mr. Cassara said that sometimes he paid more and that the entire amount was nald in a little over a vear from the date of the mortgage. The witness in cross-exami- nation by Judge Charles B. Waller, whe 1 conducling Mr. Geary's case, =ald that the payments were all in cash. but admitted that he did not know what Mr. Geary #.d with the money and what the total amount of interest was that he pafd. John -Rollo was ecalled next and tes- tified that he bought land in Winthron Street from the Bentley estate and that he made all his payments of both prin- clpal and Interest to Mr. Geary. He did not recall whether the Initial pay- ment was for $300 or $400. Borrowed From Bentley Estate. Charles F. Potter was then called and testified to having borrowed money frdn the Bentley estate on a mortgage and to having made the payments of interest either to M:. Geary or his associates. At this noint, Judge Waller sald that he did not think his testimony neces- sary as Mr. Geary had admitted in his examination to having received the money.
