Britton, tte chief agent, was a wit- tignting committee. James Purceil, the Gambier, who swore he paid graft to police and reform organisation officers, testified that he frequently paid Brit- ton $0 a month, and at other times haa @iven the money to policemen to pay Britton. Mr. Britton denounced Purcell as & ateolpigeon who had worked for him fer years and had manufactured @ Stary effecting him out of whole cloth. Mr, Britton's organization interested the committee's counsel, Emory R @eekner, more than anything else.

Young men and women, whose names @re the bright particular stare of the social register, donned simple peasant costumes and folk-danced gayly over the Uttle stage in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf, while an equally select @udience of elsters and cousins and @unts, not to mention flances and h Dands, applauded with ardor.

The league is practically self-supporting, yet besides the filing of its treasury the Deneft last night was designed to show the public the eort of work done by the @ohool children. They themselves could Rot, without eelf-consciousness, perform before an audience, so the growns-upe took their places. And if the children have half es good a time as their elders appeared to have, on with the folk-dance—let nothing interfere with it! NOW, THIS 16 WHAT IT BEGAN WITH.
