British High Courts
Pay Eloquent Tribute
To Choate' S Memory

London. May 16.-All the judges Of
the higher courts gathered in the
Kings Bench Division this morning to
pay respect TO the memory of Joseph
II. Choate. Viscount Reading, Lord
Chief Justice. who presided. paid an
eloquent tribute to the distinguished
American.
Mr.. Choate, said the Chief Justice,
was a lawyer above everything. He
was Graded in the law. loved his pro-
fession. and his thoughts were infu'
onced by the study of the law.
They remembered him, Viscount
Reading continued as one who was
graceful and eloquent in his orations,
dgnifed and lofty in his more serious
utterances lie had charm and humor
in his lighter efforts, and throughout
all there could always be traced one
great cooperation between our
two nations"
Viscount Reading said that in 1915,
when the Anglo-French mission went to
America. no one man did more 10 assist
in its success than did Mr.. Choate, and
when his powerful voice was lifted IN
New York it was not surprising that
the mission was successful.
"For his family, let Us hope the
Lord Chief Justice added. ait VIII be a
consolation to reflect not only that ne
lived 10 see the realization of this ideal.
hut that he died in the efforts he was
making to bring il to perfection"

Armories in Zones
Barred to Aliens
Included in Areas Forbidden
to Subjects of Nations at
War with United States

Thousands of aliens. besides those
who have been compelled to move
from the barred zones around the
navy yard and Fort Hamilton, will be
affected by new zones to be estab-
lished by United States Marshal Nc
Carthy around all New York state
armories. Notice that the armories
come within the meaning Of President
Wilson's proclamation was received by
Marshal Mccarthy yesterday from
Washington.
No subject Of foreign nation at
war with the United States will be
permitted to reside or do business
within a half mile radius of any
armory without special permission
from the marshal. So many inquiries
had been received as to whether
armories were included in the Presi-
dents order that Marshal Mccarthy
wrote to Washington for instructions.
A reply was received 10 the effect
that the word "arsenals" in the procla-
nation was meant TO cover armories
as well.
The Federal authorities are facing a
difficult situation in the Interpretation
of the section governing barred zones,
as this section does not take in women.
Section 4,O67 of the Revised Statutes
contains the words "males of the age
Of fourteen years and upward" and
under strict Interpretation women
can not be molested, despite the fact
that many spies and propagandists
may be found among women of foreign
birth

Mexico May Be Drawn
In War, Says Carranza
Tells Oregon at Banquet Ma
ton May Again Need
His Services

Mexico City. May l6.-Great interest
has been aroused here by President
Carranza's remarks at a banquet to-
day in honor of General Alvaro Obre-
gon. who recently resigned as Minister
of War. President Carrsnza DECLARED
that they were not saying goodby to
General Obregon, because no one had
the right at the present time to retire
to private life, as the republic "was not
yet saved" The existence of a neutral
nation was complicated, and it might
be that against it's will Mexico would
be drawn into the world conflict. in
which case General Obregon's services
would be invaluable and indispensable.
This is the first indication that has
been given publicly that Mexico might
not be able to maintain strict neutral
ity and might be drawn into the war.
The banquet to General Obregon was
also notable for the assembling in am
ity of various partisans, both in and
out of Congress, who had been bitterly
opposed, and this is taken as indicating
n better understanding between the
Executive and the Congress.

Cincinnati Pitcher
Pummels Guardsman
Thrashes Jersey Infantryman
When Held by Mistake
as Deserter

When rain postponed the ball game
between Brooklyn and Cincinnati yes
terday. young Horace Eller. pitcher for
the Reds" started out to see New
York. Recently plucked from the bush
leagues by Cincinnati. this was his
first trip East, and he was deter
mined to get on speaking terms with
Manhattan at once.
In an hour Eller learned much Of
the workings o. the Police Depart
ment and police courts of the great
city and also discovered that one
militiaman. even when armed with
bayonet and automatic. was no match
for a baseball pitcher.
The ball player was standing at
Forty-seventh Street and Broadway
when Frank Marshall, of the LIST New
Jersey Infantry, told him to move on.
Eller protested, and then, he says,
Marshall struck him with his bayonet.
The ball player Immediately went
into action. and was whipping the
militiaman to a standstill when the
police rescued the soldier and took
both combatants to the West Side
Court.
A dozen witnesses testified for the
pitcher before Magistrate Brough, who
released Eller and offered to entertain
a complaint against Marshall. This
Eller refused to make.
Marshall told the magistrate that he
had been hunting fol deserters. Magis-
trate Brough lectured him severely
and concluded his discourse by in
stiucting the soldier to go back to Jer,
sew and tell his commander to send
more competent deserter catchers
hereafter.
