MARSHALL. MORRIS PASSES AWAY AT
 NOBLE AVE. HOME
Pioneer on Early Life of Bridgeport Dies at Ad-
 vanced Age of 82.
LIFE INTERWOVEN
 WITH CITY PROGRESS
Had Much to Do With Build ing Up of Industry and
 Growth of Bridgeport.

Marshall Eliot Morris, one of the pioneers in the early development and life of Bridgeport died at his home, No. 303 Noble Ave, this morning in his Sand year.
 MT Morris life had been so closely interwoven with the progress and de- velopment of Bridgeport for so many years that his death removes one of CT generation of New England people who contributed in such measure to- ward making the city what it is today.
 MT. Morris was born in Salem,
 Conn.,, May 10, 1887. He was the son of Sheldon and Betsy Morris and was of old Connecticut stock from his parents on both sides. In his boyhood his father removed to Litchfield, where he was engaged in the manu- facture of clocks. MT. Morris spent his boyhood days in Litchfield, be- ing educated in the public schools there and gaining a knowledge in his fathers factory of wood working and wood working machinery which later on occupied so large a part of his bus mess life. At that time his father was making the Jerome clock for P. T. Barnum. It will be remembered by
 the older generation of Bridgeporters that after MT. Barnum had made a
 great place and fortune for himself in the conduct of his New York Mu-
 scum, he suffered great financial dis
 asters and lost practically all of his
 fortune through his ownership and control of the Jerome Clock Co.
 Just when MT Morris was growing into young manhood, the late Nathan iel Wheeler was establishing and de- veloping the Wheeler and Wilson Sew ing Machine Go. business in Bridgeport
 and when that company determined to make it's own cabinets for sewing (Continued on Page 6)

Congressman Byrnes Before
Leaving for Washington
Issues Statement.
Fellow Democrats:

To the Voters Of Edgetieid County:
The congressional campaign has
closed. | have attended every meet,
ing arranged for'the congressional
candidates in the district, and the
charges made against me by my
three opponents | think | have sue
cessfully answered.
Now that the campaign is over ]
warn my friends against the 'clrcu-
lation of eleventh campaign stories.
Inasmuch as | believe in fighting
fair l do not intend to make any
charges against my opponents other
than those made in their presence al
the campaign meetings, and l do
not want my friends to make any
charges against them. II any ad-
ditional charges are made against
me by my enemies, | think you will
agree with me that they should have
been made while the meetings were
on, and i had opportunity to an
swer, and the fact that they were
not made at that time should be
sufficient evidence of their untruth
fulness.
Congress after four weeks recess
reconvened Monday and | have re-
turned TO Washington to be present
during the consideration of the bill
proposing a change in the ages of

Leading Breeds.

We have in this country 1O4 vari'
cites of domestic fowls which have
been described and recognized as
standard breeds. There are various
classifcations. Among these are such
terms as fancy and practical; eggs
and meat; according to their place OF
origin, etc.
For instance, all of the recognized
breeds are said to be practical except
the Bantams and Games, which are
said to be fancy or ornamental.
Under the so-called egg breeds are
grouped most of those that original,
ed around or near the Mediterranean
Sea. They are active birds, largely
non-sitting, and do not as a rule dc
we'll in close confinement.
The Mediterranean breeds are Leg.
horns, Minorcas, Spanish and Anda,
lusian. They are small, of excellent
type and noted for the large number
of eggs they lay.
The Leghorns are typical and the
most popular of this group. They are
hardy; feathers lay snugly to the
body; weight is from three to five
pounds.
The American races contain what
is generally known as general pur-
pose fowls or dual purpose fowls. The
Orpington is an English breed, the
others are all of American origin.
Among the most popular are the
Plymouth Rocks and other Rocks, Wy
andottes, Rhode Island Reds, etc.
In the Asiatics, we have the Cochin
China, the Dramas and the Lam
shangs. These are, generally speak
ing, the meat breeds. The French is
represented by the Houdan; the
Dutch, by the Hamburgs; Indian, by
the Cornish and White; the English,
by the Orpington, the Dorking and
Red Caps.-Farm and Ranch.
