Trainer of Huntington from issuing a license to marry to Rinaldo Sammis, 85 years of age, and Mrs. Iantha Conklin of Northport, who is nearly 80 years old, when they applied at the license bu- reau. Mr. Sammis was greatly an- gered, and after the refusal of the rlerk to issue the license declared he would take the matter to the courts. Last Thursday Mr. Sammis and Mrs. Conklin called at the marriage license bureau and were told to come on Monday. In the meantime his rhildren were notifled, and the notice to the town clerk followed. The children charge that their father is not strong physically, and that he is unsound and feeble men- tally, and is not competent to make » contract, particularly on so import- ant a subject as matrimony. The chil- dren are Mrs. Mary Jane Lewis, wife pf Charles Lewis of Northport; Mrs. Nathaniel Hendrickson of Northport, and Gilbert and Richard Sammis, New Jersey farmers. When the license to marry had been refused, Mrs. Conklin said her fancee wanted a home, and that he was welcome to hang up his hat in her house as soon as he choose to. Mr. Sammis declared that he wanted v home, not having any of his own. Mr. Sammis a few years ago sold his farm for a large sum. He is re- garded as a man of means. His first wife died many years ago. Mrs. Con lin, who is a neighbor to Mr. Sammis, sees no objection to the marriage, and dismissed the financial question by raying that money isn't everything in the world. Mr. Sammis is a brother of the late Charles Sammis, former tax col- lector of Huntington, who at 76 years of age, five years ago, married Miss Ella Kissam, thirty years his junior. Both brothers paid suit to Miss Kis- gam while they were spending the winter in the south, but Charles was the lucky man. Richard Sammis declared that his father was welcome to make his homs with any of the children if he would enly stay with them and be contented. — ey State of Ohlo, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss.

VILLA THREATENS T0 ATTACK GOLUMN Says He Will Charge on Pershing As Soon As Able El Paso, Texas, July 11.—Villa is coming north as soon as he is able to sit in a saddle, and he is deter- mined to fight the Americans, accord ing to a proclamation which was brought to the border last night by Tgnaclo Bonillas, a relatie of Manuel | Bonillas, Villas purchasing agent. The manifesto was issued at Villas camp on the Rio Florido. in the State of Durango, where he is be- | lieved to have been in hiding Tt was dated June 15, and was circulated | prior to the taking of Jiminez by Calixto Contreras, Villa’s principal commander. The brief statement bears Villa's signature, Bonillas as- serts, and says Villa is not making war on the Carranza forces, but would attack the Pershing column at its weakest point, and would gather sufficient troops around him to drive the Americans out of Mexico. The Mexican also brought a copy of El Democrata, the Carranza publica- | tion issued in Chihuahua, in which it | was admitted for the first time by the Carranza officials that Villa was alive, and that he participated in the looting of Jiminez following its cap- ture from the scattered troops of General Ignacio Ramos, after Gen- eral Ramos was killed. The paper, a translation of which was given to General Bell, states that Villa rode into Jimines, participated in the loot, and sitting in his car- riage, ordered the Villistas to destroy everything belonging to Mrs. Sarah Towns, the American who was forced to flee to the border for her life. A crude crutch was seen beside Villa in the coach, the story in El Democrata stated. General Matias Ramos, nephew of General Ignaclo Ramos, is pursuing a Villa band under Calixto Contreras into the mountains of Durango, ac- cording to a telegram received by General Gonzales at Juarez. Ramos has 1,500 men. The message from | General Trevino at Chihuahua City said the Villa force did not give battle at Las Nievas, as expected, but con- tinued up the Rio Florido. Troops Make Ready. For fear of another raid on the border militia troops are already be- ing sent to the Big Bend country, heeding Carranza's second warning that the Villistas would appear near Bequillas from the vicinity of Santa Rosalia. The Fifth Massachusetts | Regiment of Infantry is to go to the Big Bend country, and will be fol- lowed by the Massachusetts cavalry and later by the Fifth and Ninth Massachusetts Infantry Regiments. The Big Bend country, east of El Paso, is the most difficult patrol dis- trict on the border, and one where raids can be made across the line and the raiders get back into Mexico with- out being captured. The movement of Massachusetts troops into this re- gion is expected to be the beginning of a general troop movement of mil- itia to the border for patrol duty. The First Pennsylania Regiment of Artillery reached here yesterday, giv- ing this point on the border sixty big | field pieces for protection. The Penn- sylvania troops were delayed a day by a wreck on the Texas & Pacific, and were just getting their camp set up at dark last night. There are now 14,000 State troops at Fort Bliss. The Michigan, Idaho, and Virginia troops are expected to be encamped here before the end of the week. Caterpillar tractors and planks for building temporary roads between Columbus and the Pershing column are now being unloaded at Columbus for the rainy season, which is now under way. Tn a practice run of one of the two big armored trucks at Fort Bliss the | truck collided with a street Ccar, knocked it from the rails, and injured three soldiers who were operating the truck. G. La that H. Mackenzie arried here from | Boquillas with the information Major Torres, the commander there, had ' been informed by the German consul of the German gov- ernment’s intention to run the Brit- ish blockade and reach America with dyestuff which would be exchanged for food. Mackenzie says the Ger- mans are carrying on a campaign of education throughout Mexico to im- press the Mexicans with the force of German arms. LUSITANIA WIDOW GETS BIG VERDICT Court Rules She Is Entitled to In- surance Despite Rider New York, June 11.—The decision of the supreme court in holding that | Mrs. May Davies Hopkins had no | claim against the Connecticut Gen- eral Life Insurance company because her husband, Albert L. Hopkins, bad signed a rider releasing the company from liability in the event of h death through FEuropean w con- ditions, was reversed yesterday by the | appellate division, which gave the piaintiff judgment for $40,000, the full amount of the insurance and costs. Mr. Hopkins lost his life through the sinking of the Lusitania on May | 7 ,1915, He was president of the | Newport News Shipbuilding company. | The opinion of the court was written | by Justice Clarke.

It was signed by the corporate agents of the com- pany, Wells, Potter, Fisk & Ustick, Inc. The plaintiff contended that the was invalid because of the failure of the defendant company to comply with the provisions of Chap- ter 155 of the laws of 1913, which re- quired the filing of any paper making a change in a policy, and thst the change should be ‘‘printed in bold | face type and with greater promi- nence than any other portion of the text of the policy.” The trial court found that the de- fendant had failed to comply with the law, but that the violation did not in- validate the rider; that it effected no change in the policy, and therefore did not need approval. The decision of the appellate division said that the riGer was made a part of the policy by the terms of the policy itself. The parpose of the statute ¢ ling for the requirements was to ‘‘carry out the public policy of the state to take con- trol of all forms of insurance tracts and prevent insur: com- panies from issuing policies without - approval of the superintendent of con- nee insurance.” that part of the such a loss as the rider cut changed its It was pointed out policy clearly covered had occurred and that dcwn the risk and form.
