NEW HAVEN MILLINERS
 VIOLATED LABOR LAW
Nine Fined $3 and Costs Each for Technical Offense-AII Highly In- disnant.

New Haven, Conn. May 15-Nine milliners were in the city court today charged with violation of the labor law in that they employed women after 10 o'clock at night Eight mill liners were of masculine gender and the ninth a woman. All pleaded guilty and Judge O'Meara ruled that as the violations were merely tech nical, fines of $3 and costs each only were imposed. The factory inspector through the female deputy, Miss Cor coran, made the complaints and As sistant Attorney Bree issued the war rants. The defendants were all high ly Indignant because the arresting officers presented them at headquart- CTS for identification as is the custom with all persons arrested. They thought distinction should have been made between business people and or dinary persons arrested for crime. After being fined they decided to pe- tition the police commissioners for a change in rules whereby business folks might be relieved of such "humiliating experiences" in headquarters as they underwent. Another milliner contest ed his case, and got a discharge as 1t about to leave the store when Miss Corcoran entered. This employe stepped up to the deputy and asked her if she desired anything. This was just about ten o'clock. The court admonished the defendant to be sure no violation was committed

The Amer 1can government cabled the Brazilian minister to inform the Huerta govern ment of the strong feeling of the United States in the matter. directing concerning the incident.

 execution of a man who came into the Mexican lines in full uniform was con- trary to military procedure of civilized nations, and an act of hostility. The three South American mediators had received no communication from the United States about the Parks in cident, and persons in the confidence of the president said the affair prob- ably would not interfere with the be- ginning of the mediation proceedings though it was recalled in many quar- ters that the United States accepted the tender of good offices with the reservation that no hostile acts toward Americans should occur while the ne- | gotiations were in progress.
 The receipt of word by the British embassy from Sir Lionel Garden, Brit | ish minister in Mexico City, that J. R. 1 Silliman, missing American vice con- | sul. was on his way by rail from | Saltillo to Mexico City, brought the | first news about SiIiman in several | days, considerably relieving the anx- | iety that had been felt by officials. The British vice consul at Saltfllo telegraphed the information to Sir | Lionel Garden.
 The Parks and Si1liman incidents have been looked upon in many quar- ters as likely to embarrass the media | ton negotiations. but thoseEclese to | the administration said both incidents | probably would be cleared up by next week.
