He was 71 years old, At the time of his death he held he title pastor emeritus, conferred on him after his resignation of thc pastorate in 1924 because of ill uealth. He had been pastor of Plymouth church 25 years, Like Henry Ward Beecher, who ient his eloquence to the condemna- tion of slavery and the defense of the Union during the Civil War}| period, and Dr. Abbott who cham- pioned the cause of Cuba from his) pulpit in 1898, Dr. Hillis was active in support of the government dur- ng the World War.

After serving charges in Peoria, Evanston and Chicago, Ill, during which he heeame known for his pulpit ora- tory, he was called to the pastorate of the Plymouth church. WEXICAN REBELS QUIGKLY REPULSED Insargent Cavalrymen Forced to Fle¢ From Guadalajra Mexico City, Feb. 26 (P—Fl Universal today says a band of in- surgent cavalrymen penetrated Guadalajara, second largest city in Mexico, as far as the military gar- rison. There they were repulsed and fled from the city. As the band of about 20 members approached the garrison, guards fired upon them, other troops quick- Iy forming. The insurgents showed | little dispositian to fight however und in the face of superior numbers | loft quickly. Guadalajara is capital of the state | Jalisco, where the so-called (‘atholic insurgent movement has Lieen at its height. Activities of the bands heretofere, however, have heen confined mainly to a sort of guerilla warfare with rarely so bold as an incursion intoa heavily guard- «1 and important city such as CGuadalajara. Six Rebels Killed A sharp encounter with the insur- gents near Patzcuaro, Michoacan, also is reported in El Universal. The paper says the insurgent band, 80 in number was that which at- tacked the Los Reyes-Yurecuaro passenger train February 15, killing three and wounding others. In yes- terday's clash six were killed before the band retreated. Later it faced the federal troops again and two of their number were captured. Still another encounter took,place at Chilcota, Michoacanan two of the insurgents being killed. Morrow Gets Assurances Meanwhile the government has told Ambassador Morrow that spe- cial detachments of federal troops are making a thorough search of | the mountain district in Cuanajuato where two Americans, J. M. Under- wood and C. C. Alesthorpe were slain last week. | The United States ambassador, al- | though he was without offcial ad- | viceg from consular channels of the | killings went to the Mexican foreign office yesterday and made formal representations in the connection. Unofficial reports reaching here #aid that the ransom of $7,500 had | already been paid the bandits’ in- | termediaries when the two wers | killed. The military police overtook | the Kidnapers and killed six of | SOME them before the go-between with the | money could get back to them and | inform them their demands had been met. The bandits killed the two Americans in revenge for the at- tack on them. i El Universal Grafico published a | report that Insurgents attacked the town of San Miguel Allende in tie state of Guanajuato yesterday a: | sngaged in & tong combat witn the federal garrison and the home guard. No details were given und the outcome of the clash was not known here. Excelsior today said 176 insurgent followers of Amad2c Didales who recently surrendered, gave them- selves up yesterday to the federal miittary feices “at Atoyuc in the state of Grerrero. They were given safe conducts to their homes. FASCIST LEADERS | PICKING NOMINEES Grand Comncil Adjourns After Midnight—Loyal to Crown Rome, Feb. 26 (P—The grand council of the Fascist party adjourn- d its first meeting shortly after midnight this morning with much | of its work still before it. 1t will convene again at 10 p. m. tonight and hear the report of its chairman, Premier Mussolini, on his general foreign and internal policy. The prospect is that several other sessions will be needed before the 400 nominations for the Italian parl liament caR be made and other| parts of the program completed. Last night's two hour session was an eventful one, Premier Mussolini | read and commented on the recently | signed treaty of the Lateran palace ! with the Vatican. He was frequently | interrupted by applause. In the midst of his dissertation applause from a great crowd outside the Venetian palace, where the meeting was held, caused him to appear on a halcony at the front of the palace. The crowd gave him an ovation which he acknowledged with upraised arm—the Fascist salute. What some regarded as the most significant feature of the meeting, which is the grand council’s first since 1t became an organic body of the state instead of a party gather- ing, was the message of unshakable | loyalty to the crown read by the party's secretary, Augusto Turatl. King George Improved, Follows Current Events' London, Feb. 26 (P — King George's health has 8o for improved that he s taking an active interest in current events and fs following closely activities in farthest parts of the empire.

It 1s learned King George spends some time each day reading the cur- rent newspapers. During his illness | a record of important events was kept for him to be at his disposal | when he was able to read it.

Interest City’s Big $3,700 Snow Shovel Loads Truck Quicker'n Operation of the city’s new snow loading machine has greatly reduced the expense of fighting storms, the cost of clearing away snow having been shown to be about one-half as much as that of last year when the board of public works engaged the services of a contractor who furnish- ed the equipment, City Engineer Philip A. Merian said today. The accompanying picture shows the apparatus picking up and deliv- ering snow into a waiting truck on Main street, opposite Glen street. Street Superintendent Eugene Faselle |18 seen in the foregroun‘ directing he work. Scat, Check Shows The loader was purchased at a cost of $3,700. A machine for simi- lar use has been placed in service by the city of New Haven, at a cost lof $5,350. The New Haven ma- chine, according to reports from the department of street cleaning, loads a truck in four minutes, while the one in use here performs the same task in one and one-half minutes, Boy Sick in France Kept From Family Here Because of the strict immigration laws, a sick boy is being held back from joining his family in this city and it is probable that another year will elapse before the boy's name reaches a position on the preferred quota list, where he will be included as a desirable. The youth is alone in Marsellles, France, and every efforts have been made to hasten his de- parture. Americanisation Director James E. O'Brien has done every- thing possible to have some of the rules waived, but so far without avail, This is one of many similar cases where families are separated be- cause of the strict rules governing immigration quotas. Outside of such cases the Americanization bureau is! faced with hundreds of questions as to the laxity of the naturalization court, now months overdue, There are approximately 6§00 men and women waiting since last summe: for their examinations to be made citizens and no definite answer har | been received from Commissioner Thomas J. Speliman despite efforts on the part of Clerk of Courts Emil J. Danberg and Judge Morris D Saxe to hasten the overdue hearing.
