NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 38, 1914. VL ST COULD BE [MORSE CELEBRATIG CTRED IN NEW YORK| HS 100TH BATHDAY cemsd For Evert Wil Bave Wi Served on Nixon in Metrepolis. New Haven, May 8.—The notice of appeal in the Nixon case has been d as required by law and within téen days from the decision of the court or before May 15 the of- ficials of the city court must forward the papers in the case to the common pleas court unless the appeal should have been withdrawn.' Of course it would be possible to withdraw the s¥it at any time before the return day in the common pleas court, which will be the first Monday in June. It was learned from a member of the law firm of Watrous & Day yes- terday that in case Stanhope Nixon does not return to this state and the $200 fine imposed on him Tuesday afternoon in the city court after he had been found guilty of the charge of assaulting Edward H. Everit is paid, his representatives thereby closing the case as far as the criminal courts are concerned, that the civil suit for $§15,000 which Mr. Everit is about to bring, could be tried in a New York civil court or the United States court in that state with the same advantage that it could be tried in a_Connecticut court. It was said that the only drawback would be the eXpense of bringing witnesses from this city to New York. © Notoriety Is_Considerable. 4\\yhether or not Nixon's parents would prefer to have the suit tried in New York is not known, but it is thought that while it would be of me advantage to have the case ‘fiied in a court in their home city, “the attending notoriety would make " undesirable. ‘ t was said yesterday that Chief ith has asked for the records of e case which came up a few weeks dgo before the city court of two minor students, who testified that they obtained drinks at a cafe. This i police circles is taken to infer that the police are gathering evidence . which will result in the arrest of one . or two bartenders at central cafes.

Stafford Springs, Conn., May 8.— Amasa' Morse, an elder in the Ad- vent Christian church, and probably the oldest preacher in that denomi- nation in the country, today quietly ‘observed the one-hundredth anniver- sary of his birth. He spent the win- ter with his daughter, Mrs. Milo P. J. Walker here, as has been his cus- tom for a period of years, alternat- ing the winters between his daugh- ter's home and that of his son, Na- than Morse, in Akron, Ohio. His summers have long been spent at the home of another daughter, Mrs. Ed- son, in Springfield, Mass., and this gave him the opportunity of attend- ing camp meeting of the Adventists near that city. Last August Elder Morse preached a sermon at the Springfield camp meeting. Probably he will not do so again as the exer- tion was considerable and he appre- ciably noticed it. Mr. Morse is in excellent health, and today received many callers. Orne pleasing incident of the day was the postal card shower which fell upon him, the cards com- ing from members of the denomina- tion throughout both the Rhode Is- 1and and Massachusetts conference to the members of which he is well known and beloved. Became Elder in 1842! Mr. Morse felt very happy today over the fact that his one hundredth birthday anniversary fell while he was here. His native place is in the adjoin- ing town of Union. He has lived nearly his entire life in and about Union. In 1834 Mr. Morse joined the Adven- tist denomination and became a mem- her of that branch then termed tha Millerites, who were followers of Wil- liam Miller, and believed that the sec- ond 'coming of Christ was near at hand. His ordination to be an elder was in 1842. For nearly sixty yvears Elder Morse preached and for much of that time he did not have fixed compensation, his living only in part being met by voluntary contributions. In his younger days he preached in Union and at camp meetings. He had membership in the Providence conference. Some dozen years ago advancing age compelled him to give | up active religious work, although he has occasionally preached. His children do not believe he will preach again. Mr. Morse served twice in the legislature, in 1860 and '61, and he had held various offices in Union. Personal Welcome Desired. A fortnight ago an invitation was sent out by friends of Elder Morse to have those who could not visit this town to give a personal welcome to send him letters of cheer and postal cards. It was pointed out in the in- vitation that the occasion was un- usual. “Born in the midst of the last war between the United States and Great Britain, and more than a year before . the battle of Waterloo, this remarkable life covers a great span of history, and most of the great events and changes of modern times. His religious experience also covers an unusual period. He heard the message of Christ’s return from Wil- liam Miller about seventy years ago, and through the intervening years he has both held and Faftno proclaimed the MAYOR INTENDS T0 HAVE KIBBE “FIRED” (Continued From First Page.)

John J, Pershing Has 4,000 Soldlers Parade in El Paso, Texas. El Paso, Tex., May 10.—Citizens of F1 Paso and Juarez were given an op- portunity today to see at close range the guardians of the border, when Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing, com- mander of the division of troops sta- tioned in this section, reviewed 4,000 of his troops after they had paraded through the streets of the town. Every branch of the service, with the exception of coast artillery and the aviation corps, was represented in the review. The review was made the occasion of a holiday here. The troops were guests of the city later at a barbecue. The afternoon was occupled with track and fleld games and in the evening there was a concert by military bands in the parks. OUT FOR SHERIFF.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY Always look for that name SUNDAY SET ASIDE TO HONOR MOTHERS Ar’mnu.l Observance of “Mothers’ Day” Comes This Week— History of Movement, Throughout this broad land Sunday is to be observed in churches and organizations as “Mothers’ day.” This observance was begun in the United States in 1906 in Philadelphia, and the custom now is for appropriate services at the churches and Sunday schools and also for every person to wear a white carnation, the sym- bolic flower of purity. However, the wearing of any mother's favorite flower will answer the same purpose in recognition of the day. Another custom is to remember the sick and unfortunates on this second Sunday in May, and also to bring a little joy to those who are ill in hospitals or incarcerated in Jjails and prisons. This movement is non-sectarian. Each year many more ways of ob- serving this day are discovered in addition to the church services and the wearing of flowers, ‘Mother cards” are to be found in the stores, others prefer to mail a letter to their old home, so that their mother will re- ceive it by this special Sunday and by a few the wearing of a white car- nation expresses the ract that the mother for whom they are wearing it is dead and a red carnation is for a living mother, but these are in a minority and the white flower is the accepted standard. This “Mothers’ day” observance that has spread over the country be- gan in 1906, and was started by Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia. It came through the death of her moth- er and because of her preference to the white carnation this flower' was selected, Miss Jarvis conceived the idea of endearing motherhood and mothers by a special observance of the day and the wearing of a white flower to give evidence of the wear- er’s love and honor for his mother.

Several educators from this city are attending the meeting of the Connect- icut assoclation of public school su- perintendents which convenes Meriden today and tomorrow.

Mexico City, May 8.—Esteva Ruiz, acting minister of foreign relations, has complained to the South Amer- ican mediators that American troops were landed in Vera Cruz and that other military preparations were progress there, thus breaking armistice. In reply the South American med- iators have wired, it is announced, that they will make representations regarding the matter to President Wilson. The foreign office has issued a statement thanking the mediators, It says: ‘“The Mexican government, in view of the mediators’ attitude in the cases of the Carranzista refusal to suspend hostilities and the new land- ing of American troops and war ma- terial in Vera Cruz, is much obliged for the prudence, impartiality and in the ‘| gBooa will of the mediators.” Officials Are Notified. ‘Washington, May 8.—Secretary Bryan admitted early today that this government had received a note from the South American mediators seek- ing to solve the Mexican crisis, in which complaint is made by the Huerta government that American operations at Vera Cruz are in viola- tion of the armistice. . Asked as to the details of the med- iating envoys’ note, Mr. Bryan said: “It simply sets forth what Huerta says. A reply to the note will be made.” Mediators Are Silent. None of the mediators would dis: guss the news emanating from Mex- ico City regarding the Huerta pro- test, forwarded through Acting Min- ister of Foreign Relations Esteva Ruiz, and later confirmed here by Secretary Bryan. That the envoys or one of them would go to the state department to negotiate further re- garding the protest against American military operations was said to be probable by those in close touch with the mediation developments. When the United States would re- ply to the envoys’ note was not made known. President Wilson is said to have been informed last night of the Huerta government’s communication and it is expected that the subject would be considered at the cabinet meeting today. No Formal Armistice. Officials point out that neither the United States nor General Huerta has yet entered into any formal armistice. ‘What occurred was this: The med- jators suggested that hostilities should be suspended during the period of ne- gotiations. To this Secretary Bryan replied that it was assumed there would be a suspension of hostilities except to repel attack. General Huerta's answer was understood to be an acceptance, but the exact terms have not been given out. Mr. Bryan has several times pointed out that this did not copstitute a formal armistice, but only an assumption that hostili- ties would be suspended except to re- sist aggression. Hague Convention Text. Article VII of The Hague conven- tion, of which the United States and Mexico are signatories, provides spe- cifically on troop movement pending mediation as follows: “Article VII. The acceptance of mediation, cannot, unless there be an agreement to the contrary, have the affect of interrupting, delaying, or hindering mobilization of other mea- sures, or preparations for war. “If mediation occurs after the com- mencement of hostilities it causes no interruption to the military operations in progress, unless there be an agree- ment to the contrary.” To what extent the present sus- pension at Vera Cruz operates under these rules appears, therefore, to de- pend largely on the construction of the informal understanding that it was assumed hostilities would be sus- pended except to repel attack. Authority Never Implied. Leading authorities on international law hold that an armistice truce or suspension of police should be definite and exact, and not implied. One of the leading authorities, Halleck, says: “S8uch a general suspension of hostil- ities can only be made by the sov- ereignty of the state, neither directly or by authority specially delegated. 8uch authority is never implied, and the enemy is bound to see that the agent Is specially authorized to bind his principal.” When an armistice is formaliy agreed to the authorities hold that “during Its pendency neither party may engage in any military work, operation, or movement, at least upon the immediate theater of war.” This, however, is limited to the “theater of war,” and it is added: “Each party may, in its own jurisdiction, do with its armed forces whatever it could do¢ in time of peace. IPortifications can be built or put in order, vessels fitted out, troops raised and trained, and warlike stores manufactured and col- lected. Troops can be moved about from one part of a country to other, with the exception of the tual area of hostilities.” Is Open Question. latter applies only an- ae- This when a formal armistice is in operation, and | it is an open question as to what the condition is when there is ro formal armistice but only an assumption that hostilities will be suspended except to repel attack. | | A Special Ladies Suit Sale SATURDAY AND $25.00 to $42.50 Suits Now $22.50 SATURDAY AND MONDAY ONLY.

M.—A vigorous selling campaign was launched at the open- ing of the stock market today. Pro- fessional traders selected for the attack issues which have been weak recently, and succeeded in driving them down until the whole market was falling. The bears were assisted in their movement by the decline of American stocks abroad as well,as by reports of a more serious situation at Vera Cruz. Canadian Pacific led the decline, with a drop of 2 5-8. Amal- gamated, Smelting, Texas company, Anaconda, Mexican Petroleum, Bal- timore and Ohio, Lehigh Valley and Southern Pacific sold off 1 to 2 points. Close—The market closed weak to- day. Greater weakness was mani- fested in stocks than at any other period since the upward movement was checked. The only support came from spasmodic short covering. Re- actionary tendenciies were more pro- nounced in the closing hour, when the principal shares touched the lowest. The following quotations are fur- nishea by G.
