NEUTRALITY DEGREE
 ISSUED BY U. s.
Language of Proclamation Covering ItaIy,s Entrance Into war Identical
 With Former Documents.

| E E
 Washington, May 25.-A neutrality proclamation by the United States, covering the entry of Italy in the European war, was published today by the state departm ent under date of May 24. ss%s
 The proclamation cautions Ameri- can citizens that "The laws and treaties of the United States, without interfering with the free expression of opinion and sympathy, or with the commercial manufactpre or sale of arms or munitions of war, neverthe- less, impose upon all persons who may be within their territory and juris- diction the duty of Impartial neutral ity during the existence Of the con- test"
 As was the case in the other neu- trality proclRmations issued during the present war, the laws of the Unit ed States forbidding recruiting for the belligerents in this country or the fit- ting out of war vessels are recited and also the laws governing belligerent warships entering American ports. The protection the United States, it is declared, will be denied to such American citizens as may misconduct themselves in the premises"
 The language of the proclamation is identical with others.

FAMOUS CLARK CASE
 NOT TRIED TODAY
Attorney Mcconnell, of New Haven,
 N Falls in Attempt to Get Fur N ther Continuance.

Once again the famous suit of ~,E. w. Schultz. administrator of the Bridget Clark estate, against Joseph H. Clark, son of the deceased and former yexecutor of the estate, has failed ,a come before tn court on the scheduled time. It was to have been tried before Judge Joseph F. Futile in superior court this morning and Lawyers c. w. Klett and P. F. Mo Donough, for the estate, had their witnesses on hand ready to proceed when Lawyer Mcconnell, of New Ha ven, representing Clark. appeared and asked to have it continued until Fri day morning.
 f Judge Futile at once put up stren- 8uous objection to further continuance and emphatically stated that MT. Clark had ample time to prepare his case. Therefore, he said, if he was not ready to go on when the case was called it could not be tried during g. this session of the court as other cases should come in their right turn. r
 Lawyer McConell argued to no avail that he had been brought into the case only four days ago. Already MT. Clark has had four different lawyers, MT. Mcconnell being the fifth. The action is to determine whether MI. Clark Is the entire or only half owner of the livery business which he mana. ges. He declares that his fatheH owned the business and gave it t0F him a bill of sale. The administratp, claims that the late Bridget Clark and her husband owned the business jointly and therefore part of the busl- ness belongs to the estate.
 Should Clark win he would have to pay back rent for the use of the barns which belong to the estate. Should the administrator win Clark will have to give an accounting of his ewardship of the business.
