MAYOR MURPHY URGED
 TO REPRESENT CITY
Taft Invites Mayor to Attend Peace
 Meeting in Washington.

Ex-President William H. Taft has asked Mayor T. c. Murphy, it was an- nounced Thursday, to represent this city at the first national annual as- semblage of the League to Enforce Peace to be held at Washington on Friday and Saturday, May 26 and 27. MT. Taft is president of the league.
 The League to Enforce Peace has platform of four proposals, the main feature of which is contained in the third, which provides that the joint armed forces of the great powers be used against any nation or nations who refuse to keep an agreement to try arbitration or conciliation before going to war. The other three pro- DoSals are for an international court, an international council of conciliation md a code of interna tional law.
 MT. Taft's letter inviting the mayor to be present at the Washington con- ference also asks him to appoint dele gates thereto and points out that the Taft league is mo stOp-the-war move ment, no anti-preparedness movement, no peace-at-any- price endeavor," but an earnest effort by practical men to bring about, after the close Of the European war, a cooperation among the nations which will tend to make Ieace more permanent and war less probable MT. Taft's letter is as fol- lows:
 My Dear Sir
 The first annual assemblage of the League to Enforce Peace will be held in the city of Washington on Friday and Saturday, May 26 and 27, with the purpose of devising and determining upon measures for giving effect to the proposals for a league of nations to enforce peace that were adopted at a conference held last June in Philadel- phia. This is no stop -the-wlr move ment, no anti-preparedness movement, 10 peace -at-any- price endedvor. It represents an earnest effort by practi- cal men to bring about. after the close of the European war, a cooperation among the nations which will tend to less probable.
 The governors of states, the mayors Cf cities and the more important busi- ness organizations of the nation are sppOinting delegates to this meeting
 You are invited to be present and to appoint one or more commissioners to represent your city in the assemblage
 The task of providing such sanctions for international law and treaties as can be obtained is the most important and urgent matter before the world and one for which America has pecu- liar responsibility. I earnestly hope that we may have your cooperation in it.
 Mir. Taft has sent a similar invita- ton to Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, asking him to represent the state per s0nally and to send state delegates to the Washington conference.

SIX MONTHS FOR CARRYING WEAPON
Montvle Man Given Jail Sentence and Fined $10-Jvst
 Released From Local Jail

summer and threatened his wife and others of the guests, so Constable Hickey took McCutich to Montville and he was presented there and sent to the jail in this city for six months He had just finished his sentence when Sheriff Martin rearrested him Wednes- day.
 Thursday morning McCutich pleaded guilty, that is, after an interpreter had been secured. There was much delay in getting one.
 Constable Hickey explained the cir cumstances to the court. The consta- ble said McCutich had threatened to kill people at Montville and had ex- hibited a gun The constable arrested him, but when McCutich was taken to his home to see his wife and children he jumped from a window and escaped. It was four weeks later when Consta- ole Hickey located him in New London and arrested him in Bradley street.
 McCutich. through the interpreter, explained that he carried the pistol as he was afraid children in his house might get it. He claimed Constable Hickey owed him S29, at which the constable laughed heartily
 The authorities do not know Nc Cutich's right name. McCutich Is cer tainly not a Russian name and is one that the man evidently appropriated. At Montville he was known as Max Green.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-03-31

Max McCuttch, @ Russian. from Montville, was arraigned in the New london police court Thursday morning on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. He was fined $10 and costs and sentenced to 60 days in jail.
 McCutich has just finished six months sentence in the county jail in this city for carrying concealed weap- ons. He was taken to New London Wednesday from the Norwich jail by Deputy Sheriff Manuel J. Martin.
 The offense with which McCutich was charged when arraigned in the court Thursday morning was commit ted in August of last year. Constable Hickey of Montville was in New Lon don looking for McCutich and he en- countered him in Bradley street in front of George Beck's second hand store. The constable attempted to put handcuffs on McCutich and the latte' put up a stiff fight. Constable Hickey knocked his prisoner to the sidewalk McCutich, as he started to get up, reached for pistol which he had con- cealed in his stocking. As he did so the constable called for help and MT. Beck and another man grabbed Mo Cutich and prevented his using the gun.
 There was already warrant against the man for carrying concealed weap- ons, as he had f1ourished a gun at a christening in MOntville early in the
