Supplementing the chancellor
statement that Great Britain has
more than thirty-six divisions Of

output of munitions has increased
enormously, Mr.. Tenant today,
speaking in behalf of the SECRETARY OF
war, Lord Kitchener, declared that re-

and gratifying; that the health of the
troops was splendid, and that the

twenty-four hours after they were

lays claim to having sunk one, and
perhaps more, this is believed, to

commander, has said, ito any point

ORIGINAL PARDON
OF JAS. H. THOMAS
ISSUED BY PRESIDENT ANDREW
JOHNSON NOW OWNED BY
FRANK G. SMITH.

Frank G. Smith brought to The
Herald Office this morning a four page
heavy parchment, yellow with age,
that holds unusual interest. 1t is a
proclamation of pardon and amnesty
issued by President Andrew Johnson
to James H. Thomas in 1865. There
were in those days no Autographed
or printed blanks for pardons of
this character and the whole docu-
ment, covering the better part of two
pages, is written out. 1t is signed
by Andrew Johnson and attested by
William H. Seward, secretary of
state and one of the founders of the
republican party, the statesman who
declared that there is higher law
than the constitution. Mr. Thomas,
the beneficiary of the proclamation
was a member of the congress of the
United States from this district for
several years and was afterward a
member of the Confederate congress.
At the close of the war he was, to-
gether with many other leaders Of the
Confederacy, charged with high trea
son. Mr.. Thomas was the father of
John A. Thomas, of the sixth district,
and the grandfather of Frank G.
Smith, who cherishes the proclama-
ton as one of his most priced pcs
sessions.

SHELTERING ARMS FAMILY
 ENJOYED THANKSGIVING.
Bulletin Prize Turkey Was Delicious
 Music in the Afternoon.

Thanksgiving day at the Sheltering Arms was an unusually pleasant one this year for the family of 16 there. Many friends showed their thoughtful interest by gifts of flowers which were arranged in the rooms, there was the Thanksgiving dinner at the appropri- ate time, and at o'clock in the after noon a delightful musical programme was. carried out. The matron, Mrs. J. Parker Clifford, had the general direc- tion of the observance of the day.
 The dinner table was decorated with ferns and yellow chrysanthemums, and 12 of the Is members of the family sat down to enjoy he bountifully laden table. With them were the matron and the two nurses. The 20 1-4 pound prize turkey which had heen donated for the dinner by The Norwich Bulletin was delicious.

 mince pies. cheese. candy, fruit, nuts tea and milk

William B. Eccles of Preston, Eng land, the brother of the late John Ec- cles, by his attorneys, William H, Shields and William Ek Shields, Jr. before Judge Nelson J. Ayling on We'd nesday to the superior court of New London county to be held on the first Tuesday of December and bonds were given by the appellant to prosecute the appeal to effect
 All the papers ia the appeal were served on Thanksgiving day by Deputy Sheriff George H. Stanton.
 The appeal is taken from the probate courts decree that decided that the effect in law of the bequest in the will of John Eccles to the Rock Nook home for children, which was errone-
 ously described and understood by John Eccles to be corporation, was to create a public charity and trust that might be administered by such trustee as the court of probate might appoint.
 The appellant, William. B. Eceles, claims that the express terms of the will created no trust and that the phraseology of the will created an absolute legacy; that the Rock Nook home for children, havinb no corpor- ate existence and having no legal en- tity of itself, failed to answer the description of the legatee intended in the minds of John Eccles as expressed in his will; and that therefore the will failing to dispose of the property to an existing corporation, person, or entity,
 the property represented by those leg acies was undisposed of, was intestate, and by law goes to John Eccles' heirs of whom William B. Eccles is the sole | one.
 In view of the fact that the Norwich probate court took the view that the i bequests to the Rock Nook home for | children created a public charity, Judge Ayling concluded that the state of Connecticut should be represented | in the future trials that are to take place over the construction of the leg
 acy to the Rock Nook home. Carry | ing out that view Judge Ayling direct | ed that service of all the papers in the

s2OO,OOO AT STAKE IN APPEAL
Brought By William B. Ecces Over Requests His Brothers Will to Rock Nook Home-Superior Court Will Have to Decide on Construction of Will on This Point.

appeal should be made on Hon. George
 B. Hinman of Windham, attorney gen.
 eral of the state of Connecticut.
 Attorney General Hinman very like
 V will appear representing the pub lie interests in the questions that are to be litigated.
 The appeal proceedings involve di- rectly the disposition of the $50,000 legacy given to the Rock Nook home for children and the legacy of two , thirds of the remainder of the estate amounting to about $1S4,000. The decision in this appeal thus in- wolves the disposition of about $204, 900. The case now has reached a point where the vital issues of the legality or illegality of the so-called Rock
 Nook home legacies is to be finally de- termined.
 In their answer before the recent
 probate court hearing, the Rhode Is-
 land Hospital Trust Co.,, the execu-
 tors, claimed that for long time prior to the death of John Eccles he was a member of and actively interested in the work of the United Workers and was particularly interested in the
 work of administering and carrying | on the Rock Nook home as provided for under the deed of Moses Pierce to the United Workers; that for many years prior thereto he had been fami- | liar with the workings of this charity and with it's beneficent results; that
 he had frequently expressed his in- tention of providing liberally for this
 charity known as the Rock Nook home In his will; that there is no other | home of this nature and description | within the city of Norwich or in that | vicinity, carrying on similar or like 1 work, nor any other charity of this | general nature in which John Eccles
 was interested at or about the time | of the execution of his will or of his
 death, to which his bequest could nat | urally be paid.
 All the other bequests under the will | have been paid and there remains now | in the hands of the executors the sum
 of $2S2, 2,061.S6 from which the disputed
 legacies and the expenses must be 1 paid.
