GREENEVILLE Annual Reception and Prefession of New Members Into the Young Li dies’ Sodality—Tribute to Levi . 8. Saunders—Funeral of Mrs. William T. Mahon, The annual reception and_profession of new members into the Young La- dies’ Sodality of St. Mary’s church took place in that edifice on Sunday even- ing at 7.30 o'clock. The attendance at the same was large on the part of the society members, as well as the con- gregation. The processional entered the church in this order—The officers of the society, lily bearers, new candi- dates and the society. Vespers was sung by the rector, Rev. Fr. Fitzmaur- ice, and the musical portion of same was rendersd in an exceHent manner under the direction of the organist, Miss Boydgeau. The opening soclety hymn was Our Lady of the Aisle, following which came the novena egercises. The. class numbered twenty-five candidates, the Act of Consecration being read by Miss Dorothy Kingsley, after which came the crowning of the statue of the Blessed Virgin by the president of the soclety, Miss Sadie A. Driscoll, as- sisted by the ofcers and children, wha acted as lily bearers any then the so- v_sang their Farewell Hymn to the Blessed Virgin. The sermon for the occasion was delivered by John J. McCabe of Jewett City. He found his text in the Life of the Bless- ed Virgin, which proved to be a mast- erly effort. Benediction of the Most Blessed Sac- rament cidsed the cvening’s exercises. The officers of the Sodality are as fol- {lows: President, Miss Sadie A. Dris- coll; first vice president, Miss Rose V. Malone; second vice prasident, Miss Katherine M. Bray; treasurer, Miss Mary A. Daal OBITUARY. Levi S. Saunders. (Contributed.) The death in this city, on May Sth. of Levi S. Saunders, removed from a wide cle of friends a gentleman whose busy life precluded a large list of ac- quaintances. but he possessed many sincere friends to whom his demise came as a personal loss. Fo rthirty-one vears he served as engineer at the Hubbard Paper mill, now that of the Arlington company, and during all that period never Jost a day when duty demanded his presence. Fis only diversion was in the en- joyment of his religious life, whizh was deep, devout and earnest to the | 1ast degree, and. it may be trulx o fhim that no fear of persoray sacri- fice ever hindered him In the fuMil- ment of that which he regarded as his Auty in this directién. For many years he was active in temperance work, and was president of the Loval Temperance Assaciation, giv- ing ¥ of his time and of his means to the furtherance of the work of this society. Saunders was also, at different times, president and treasurer of the local ‘branch of the National Aseoel- ation of S Enginears, possess- ing at all times the esteem and regard of his folo: “ppended . he mesting of the Association, held e 18th instant, bearing witness to A zenial and delightful Christian tiernan, fond of his home where he s idolized, his <hurch and his riends, he passed from this Jife to his isure reward, surrounded by those whom he loved, as a tired child falls asleep, leaving behind him a fragrant memory as a life of charity, of kind- ness and one full of good deeds reach- e its earthly end. FUNERAL. Mrs. William T. Mahoney. funeral of Mrs. Willlam T. Ma- Boney was held from her late home 53 Convent avenue, Wednesday morning. The body was conveyed to St. Mary’s church at 9 o'clack where a. requiem high mass was offered by Rev. W. H. Kennedy. The full choir rendered the musical part of the services.

Mahoney and Robert Mahonéy, Timothy Lynch, Tim- othy Brewer and Michael Shea of Jew- ett City. Burial was in the family plot in St. Mary's cemetery where.a committal service at the Srave was conducted by Rev. Fr. Kennedv. The out of town relatives were from New Jersey, Meriden, Jewett City and New London. There was a large attendance and many beautiful fiowers. Undertakers Cummings and Rirg had charge of the funeral arrangements. i e Th said | Undue Influence at Time Taken. In a decision announced on Wednes- day Judge Nelson J. Avling admits to probate the will of Nathan Johnson, late of Boarah, as he finds that both the will and codicil have been proved. The decision made public by Judge AYling follows: s In the matter of establishing the last will and testament with codicil thereto of Nathan Johnson, late of Boarah, in fhe shel Qi of decease ‘The decedent died on April 17, 1917 the termination of an iliness of com- plicated diseases, and during the last 3 1-2 months of his life was confined to his réom or bed. It ap) that he executed a paper purporting to be his Jast will and testament on Jan. §, 1817, in due and legal form, and that on April 11, 1917, he executed a so- called codicfl to said will six days be- fore his death. On April 30 these documents, pur- porting to be the last will and testa- ment of Nathan Johnson of Bozrah, ‘were brought before this court for allowance for probate. = Both instruments it appears were signed by him in the presence of three witnesses, all of whom signed the respective papers in testator's presence, in the Zresence of each other and at his request. 'These _instru- ments were severally executed in ac- cordance with the statutory provision. This established a prima facle case for their admission and placed the burden of showing incompetency, or a substantial reason for not admit- ting them upon any heir disputing their authenticity. This, ther, was the burden assumed by the contestants who appeared and objected to the aceeptance of the will. . The question. then is as to whether dispose of his property. It is true, the testator was of mental capacity to dispose of hjs property. It is true, that the documents may be examined for the purpose of aiding in deter- mining, if possible, as to whether un- due - influence has beén exercised or not, or whether the instrument of itself tends to show unratural dis- position of the estate; but to be of any value as evidence tending to show incapacity it must of itself show un- natural and unreasonabie acts. A person ineapab! of making his property may make a valld will. One lacking capacity to emter into contractya! relations and conduct the yment. of his estate may yet iclent mentality to dispose of that te by a valid will, but to do 80, however, the testator at the time of the execution of the instrument must be possessed of sufficient intel- lect.to comprehend the effect of the act; that is, what property was being disposed of, who was to receive it, and to appreciate who the natural objects of his bounty should be. The decedent had no near relatives, the nearest being kin of the fourth degres, who would be his heirs and distrfoutees if intestate estat The bogquest to Mrs. Sullivan might raise a suspicion of undue influence. It appears, however, that this woman, when a child, lived for a period of tfirs with decedent’s family and that he made his home in her family and she cared for him the last two ears of his life and during his last Iness. der these circumstances it is not surprising, but seemingly na- tural, that he should make one whom it appears had been many years like an only sister to him, one of the principal objects of his bounty. 1t appears by the will that he had appreciated the labors of IHHenry D. Tohnson in his behalf, in leoking aft- er his financial affairs, and also made him an ebject of his bounty. 1t appears that much had been said to the decedent during the latter part of his life of the merits of W. W. Backus hospital. This hospital is the only one in this vicinity and is a cor- poration and ailthough undus finflu- ence. it is true, may have bean exer- cised in its behalf, there ix no evi- dence that this corporation sousht or knew of the generous action of the decedent during his Tifetime. The witnesses to both the wiil and codicil were heard and two proved to b docto! who exp sed the {opinion that the testator was of sound mind when the papers avere executed. During the course of the extended hearing ha contestants introduced many witnesses to show that the tes- tator wsaa, and for a long time had man ef singular habits and actions, but the only effect T of evidence was to srence of unsound mind, r, as fects are not established by inference, nether are they rebut- | tea by it. Ast to the evidence and testimony 01 the witnesses, there 1s some con- fiict among the laiety, covering a period of several years. Is appears that decedent was eriti- cally iii in the year 1911: that during that illness a drug known as nitro glycerine in tablet form was pre- seribed by his physician, Dr. Tingley, and that undec this physician’s direc- jtlon he continued to use this medicine for angina pectoris for the rest of inis 1ife. Dr. Gildersieeve corrobor- jated Dr. Tingley in the effect of this drug, in the main, and further states that excessive or immoderate use of §he same to relfeve pain in the heart muscles would likely be followed by extreme head pains. ‘The testimony of the thrée physi- ciargs. Drs. Tingley, Donohue and Callahan, all of whom saw him dur- ing his Iast iliness, unqualifiedly pro- nounced him capable and of sound mind as also did Wheeler and Pratt, as well as the witnesses to the will anqg codicil. It is true that some other witnesses who saw him during his last {llness belleved him incompegent. This opinion was formed from brief observation: by witnesses, all of whom testified that he was very ill, in pain, and it is not surprising that he did not make conversation. There is no evidence whatever that the decédent ‘was addicted to the habitual use of oplates or narcotics. There i; but one witness who cliims te have seen him take a dose of morphine from two different phials, once about eight years ago. On the eontrary the whole evidence is thag he was not a drug GAGER Funeral Director and Embalmer have i Judge Nelson J. Ayiing Considers Will and Codicil Proved in Decision Announced Wednesday—No Incapacity Nor Will Was Made—Appeal to be addict. Medical and trustworthy tes- timéony show that the man was suf- fering from a complication of fatal digeases anyone of three of which might cause death at any time. He was also suftering the torments of a cutaneous allment and failing eye- sight. Acute pain and distress made him wretched_and indifferent as to personal appearance. There is no evidence of unnatural acts or conversation with anyone dur- Ing the three manths of last iline but @ so-called insane person can make a valid will i¢ executed during a lucid interval. The will itself and weight of evidence as to capacity at time of execution of the will and cod- jcil do_not show incapacity nor un- due influence. No evidence relating directly to a lack of capacity in Dr. Johnson to make a will, at the time when it way written, was introduced and - conse- quentiy the presumption of such capacily established by the document itself remains unshaken. T comsider the will and codicil prov- ed, the same are approved and ad- mitted to probate. NELSON J. AYLING, Acting Judge. Elijah Abel of Bozrah and Albert J. Bailey of this city have been appoint- ed_appraisers of the estate. Earl Mathewson, executor, is to pro- vide a bond of $220,000, the amount of the. estate. 3 An appeal from the decision Ims been taken. IS TRUSTEE OF STATE TRAINING SCHOOL John M.

MILITARY REGISTRATION Major Christopher L. Avery Explains the Conseription Act. Major Christopher L. Avery, repre- senting Governor Holcomb, explained the comscriptien registration act to of- ficlals of New London, Norwich and other Bastern Connecticut cities and towns at a meeting held for that pur- pose in the council chamber in the municipal building at New Wednesday ‘afternoon. More Ythan 40 men assembled at the chamber for in- struction as to the methods to be em- ployved in takirg the registration on June 5. rovisions of the act and the processes to be followed in carrying out its intent were littie understood by the majority of the officials, but Major Avery went into the proposition in great detail and gave his audience a comprehensive idea of the resuits de- sired and the way to-proceed step by step. ‘The meeting was opaned at 1 o'clock. Soon after it opened Mayor Rogers ve- ceived ‘a telephone message that a number of city and town officials from this end of the county had assembied at the Norwich eity hall by mistake and would arrive at the meeting as soon as they could reach New London. ‘The meeting proceeded, Major Avery announcing that he would hold another meeting for the Norwich delegation. ‘The local board of registration had been advised Tunesday that a military official would meet them at the city hail Wednesday afternoon, but this was an error, as no arrangoments for a local meeting had beén made. When it was discovered that no one had been detailed to meet the board here the telephone message was sent to New London and the members of the board, with the exception of Town Clerk €. S. Holbrook, who is ill, fol- lowed soon afterwards by automobile. ‘One of the first matters explained In connection with the registration was that all male persons, whether aliens or not, in each city and town. between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, must register on June 5th. Failure to res- ister, it was declared, would lay the delinquent liable to the penalty pre- scribed in the aet. Attorney Wiiliam T. Connor asked what provision is made for pefsons who might be confined to their homes by sickness and unable to go out to register. Mr. Avery repiled that such persons will be expected to notify the board of registration. ) The matter of registration of persons employed here but voting elsewhere was brought before the meeting. Mr Avery said thai the best plan. where possible, is for such a person to make a trip to his home town to register, but if this is not possible, su¢h a person can meet the requirements of the law, by securing a registration card here wnd sending it to the board of regis tration in his heme town. so that it will reach there on or before June & The board of registration. upen receipt of the letter bearing such a card, will investigate the authenticity of the in- formation upon it. and if it is found to be accurate and true, will return a certificate to the-sender in this city showing that he has complied with the law. Mr. Avery said that in unusual cases, such 'as that of a traveling sa:esman from far off being here on June 5, the same course would be followed, the only difference being the time re- Quired in semJing the card to the ap- plicant’s home town, which would make its arrival there date well after June 5. Membership in the Home guard did not exempt anvonme, AIr. Avary ex- plained, membership in the army o navy being the oniy ground for ex- emption. " He also sald that as he un- derstood the act no one can register by agent: there are but two wavs, either personally or by letter as ex- plained. Governor Holcomb has designated first selectman, the town clerk and |rezistrars of voters as the board of registration, but as many additional men as are required may be named. He said the selectmen and . town cleris are required to take the federal oath and he volunteered to adminis- ter the oath, copies of which he had with him, to as many present as wish.- ed to take it. Mayor Rogers and oth- {er members of the New London board of registration were the first to take the oath. After they had taken the cath, Miss Sarah J. Graham, a notary public and stenographer to Mr. Av- ery. in an ante room administered the loath to the selectmen and town clerks present as they flled in from the council _chamber. Mr. Avery explained that copies of this oath must be sent to the adj tant general at Hartford. The men, who assist in taking the registration, will also be sworn In, but the coples of their oaths will be filed away in the respective citles and towns. He said the men sworn in as board members shou! at once begin the appointment of the men to assist in taking the registration. should swear those men in_immediately, wef the polling places ready, secure registration cards and certificates from Sheriff Brown and then within 24 hours wire to Gov- ernor Holcomb that their towns are ready to go ahead with the work, so that he in turn may notify the fed- eral authorities that Connecticut is ready. Mr. Avery said it is estimated that of the 100,000,000 people in this coun- try 10 per cent, or in other words 10,000,000, will be affected by this or- der. He advised the board members from tho several towns to estimate the population of each town and af- ter dividing it by ten requisition Sher- iff Brown for that number of cards and certificates. The local board ot to work Imme- diately and brought back with them 3,000 carde. “Do we do this work free of charge?” someone asked. “Why, the governor e¥pects that you will,” Mr. Avery replied. ‘“I'm here free of charge and the president and the governor feel that imasmuch as so many young men are to spill their blood and possibly give their lives that you can serve this one day for nothing. /But if you can't get men enough to de this work free of charge, don’t let that stop the regis- tration. You are allowed $4 a day per man wherever necessary, but the governor wants to carry on this work with as little expense as possible. Mr. Avery suggested that men of clerical experience, such as bookkeep- ers, be secured for the work wherever possfble. He thought this would fa- cilitate the work and make for greater aceuracy. He said, In reply to a question, that where men apply after June 5 they must be registered just the same, but their cards will show that they were late in complying with the law and they will be held to accoumtability for —_— CLERK’S RECOVERY ASTONISHES NORWICH Norwich people will marvel at this clerk’s reeovery.

He said the government estimates that a man will be required for about every 50 persons.
