 About the time that his father nov ed his business to Bridgeport, Mar shall Morris, actuated by the spirit of adventure and travel of young man. hood, went to DuQuoin, Ill.,, where he engaged in the conduct of general store, being associated with the late Daniel Hatch under the firm name of Hatch & Morris.

Gould's operation in the Erie Rail- road.
 While in DuQuoin, MT. Morris mar ried Margaret Elizabeth Winters in 1862. Soon after the Civil war he returned to Bridgeport and entered into partnership with his father in the manufacture of sewing machine cab inets and later this partnership was incorporated under the name of The Sewing Machine Cabinet Co.,. of which company MT. Morris became secrtary and remained so until he retired from business in the early nineties The Sewing Machine Cabinet Co. develop | ed into and remained a large factor in the Wheeler & Wilson business. | Only within the last year was the company dissolved and its business taken over by the Singer Sewing Ma chine Co.,, which purchased the bus- ness of the Wheeler & Wilson Co. sev- eral years ago.
 In the early nineties MT. Morris ac- 1 quired large interest in oyster lands Prior to that time the whole oyster | industry in this section had been car ried on by the so called natural grow thers who had harvested oysters as 1 they were found on the natural beds | The business of scientifically planting

Shaw Says Congress Can
Not Vacate Wilson's Chair
Asserts Even if Executive Were
to Die, Marshall Could Merely
''Act as President''

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Loslie M.
Shaw, former Secretary of the Treas
lry, in a statement to The Associated
Press to-day, declared that should
President Wilson die, Vice President
Marshall would not become President
but could only act as President. Ex-
planning his view that Congress is
poWerless to declare the office Of Pres
ident vacant, either while lhe Pr sident
is abroad or in the event OF his death,
Mr. Shaw said:
'If read the law correctly the Of
flee of President OF the United States
is not vacant, and Congress is not au-
thorized under any contingency to de-
clare it vacant.
"lf President Wilson should die,
Nice-President Marshall would not be-
stitution does not leave this question
in doubt. The oft quoted and only
provision applicable reads as follows:
In case OF the removal of the Presi-
dent from office or Of his death, res g.
nation or inability to discharge the
powers and duties of said office the
same shall devolve on the Vice-Presi-
dent
THE same section authorizes Con-
eress to declare what officer shall 'act
rs President IN the event of the death
or disability of both the President and
the Nice-President and adds; and such
officer shall act accordingly until the
disability be removed or President
shall be elected Congress can neither
declare or fill vacancy Some years
ago it did establish the order Of pre-
cedcnce among members of the Cabi-
net and gave authority in this langu-
age shall act as President until the
disability is removed or President
shall he elected
"John Tyler, Andrew Johnson
Chester A. Arthur and Theodore
Roosevelt each discharged the duties
of President when vacancies occurred
but the office of President remained
vacant during the unexpred term.
Suppose early in the war President
Wilson had been kidnapped from
Washington and taken aboard a sub
marine and the Germans had given
out that he had died and been buried
at sea. If the supposed vacancy had
then been filled by Mr. Marshall be-
coming President and after the arrnis-
tice the President had returned. some
embarrassment would have occurred
This is avoided by the provision T
have quoted under which the duties of
the office are to be simply discharged
by the Vice President"

DDS of the Park Commissioner by an

"The Times" editorial referred to

and read:
can advertisement in The City Rec
ord asks that bids be sent to the Park
the privilege of selling newspapcrs at
certain mentioned stands on land under
his control. The wording of the adver-
tisemcnt is peculiar even to the point
of being startling, for not only does it
define the privilege as that of selling
the leading newspapers and magazines
but it reserves to the commission the
truly astonishing right---if it be right
to designate and determine the lead
ing newspapers Which must be offered
for sale at the stands
This is large prerogative, ard
something more than doubt of its le-
galty is warranted. 1t implies the
pretension to the power to tell news
vender what he shall not sell, as we'll
as what he shall, ard neither of them,
so far as can be recalled, is granted
to the Park Commissioner in the city
charter
The advertisement in question calls
for the sale on Friday of the stancs
owned by the Williamsons--one of
whom is in France with Pcrshing--at
public auction. John Williamson, VINO
is here, looking after both, and fight
ing the Hearst-Hylsn combination to
wrest the stands from him and his
soldier brother because they refused
to handle Hearst papers, declares that
it means that Hearst or some agent of
Hearst will bid in the stands.
What chance have a couple of news
dealers, one away in France, against a
millionaire newspaper owner?" was
John Williamson's way of summing up
the situation.
Harman is now restrained by Su-
preme Court injunction from interfer-
ing. either as ar individual or Park
Commissioner, with Willamson's bust

proposed auction, IL is said, under the

Aldermanic Investigation
Into Strike of Vendors
Against Hearst Is Urged
Resolution Is Referred
Falconer Questions Right
of Park Commissioner
to Assume Censorship

The fight of newsdealers who struck
against handling Hearst's newspapers
because OF the protests of their Gus
toners that these publications were un-
American, was brought officially before
the Board of Aldermen yesterday
Alderman Bruce Nj. Falconer was the
medium. Mr. Falconer offered reso-
luton calling upon John ~ Harman,
Park Commissioner of Brooklyn, to ex-
plain his fight on John Williamson and
his brother now in France, who Jointly
conduct the newstands at Borough Hall
Park, Brooklyn.
The Faiconer resolution reads:
Resolved, that the Commissioner of
Parks for Brooklyn be and he is here
by requested tic furnish this board, at
its next meeting, full information as to

to any and all newspapers. and

ferred to above as condition prece-
dent to newsstand rights and privi-

Some of the Tammany members of
the board, who have sided with Hearst
ands Mayor Hylan against the striking
newsdealers blocked immediate action
on the resolution by raising an objec-
ton, so that it was referred to the

.SNEETHEARTS OF YEARS PLEDGE
 THEIR TROTH
CHILDHOOD ROMANCE OF MISS LOUISE HILL AND ROBERT GEIMER ENDS IN A HAPPY EASTER DAY WEDDING.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Easter Sunday saw the elimination of one of those rare romances which are so often read of, wherein the bride and groom were childhood play mates and swecthearts, when Robert Geimer of this city led Miss Louise Hill 10 the altar after a lifetime courtship. The ceremony was con ducted by the Rev II. II. Shires, at the home of the brides mother, Mrs. Amy Hill. in the presence of the i'm mediate family.
 Miss Juanita Morrison acted as bridesmaid and Beverley Burke as best man, their presence completing the pretty romance as they were schoolmates of the contracting par ties, thus being fully appreciative of the real happiness of the occasion.
 The bride was attircd in light blue chiffon taffeta gown combined with georgctte crepe braided in silk.
 The hall was given a pretty out door effect by the decorative scheme, the Stars and Stripes and the colors of the Allies being significant of the patriotism of the groom who stands ready to answer his country's call, surrounded a iatticcd screen done in white and gold and trimmed with dainty ferns, red carnations and blue birds which little symbols of happi- ness dominated the table decorations in the dining room, where a luncheon was served after the nuptial knot was tied
 The bride is a native of Prescott and comes from a highly respected pioneer family of this section. Her father. the late Samuel Hill. was one of Prescott's foremost merchants and founded the mercantile firm which bears her name and in which her mother still maintains an interest.
 The groom, son of Mir. and Mrs. Joseph Geimer of this city, Is also a native of Prescott and holds a re- sponsible position with the postoficc department here. He has made re- pcatcd efforts to enter the military service of the L. s. and is now listed for service under the sclcctivc draft
 Many beautiful gifts were received by the happy couple which will add much to the little home on North Pleasant street, which Mir. Gcimer recently purchased in anticipation of the event of his life.

NEW SYNDICATE IN TRE CASTLE
 CREEK DISTRICT
COP PER COMPANY BUYS A GROUP OF 15 PROMISING COPPER CLAIMS; E. C. KING IS MANAGER.
tFrom Tuesdays Dailv.)

The Arizona-Virginia Copper Com- pany has purchased Is claims in the Castle Creek mining district from P A. Johns of this city. Considerable high grade ore had been mined on this property by the previous own CTS and Mir. Johns continued the de- velopment, shipping several carloads of high grade org The new com pany is controlled by Colorado and California capital F. C. King, who was formerly superintendent of the shelter at Humboldt is the managing director. The. property has been opened up by three tunnels, approxi, mately 500 feet There is also POO feet of incline shaft and some stop ing, which makes up altogether about 900 feet of work.
 The smeltcr records and shipping receipts show that 269 tons Of ere that were produced as result of this work averaged better than Is per cent copper and S150 ton in silver. netting $55 per ton after making sme)tcr deductions and deducting freight and smeltcr charges.
 Before the present owners took over the property they had an exam ination made by Lewis s. Noble, mining engineer of Denver, Colo. Mir. Noble is of high standing in his pro fcssion, being the consulting engineer in the Cresson and other large mines in the Cripple Creek district and having personal mining interest, m the. Leadville district of Colorado.
 In his report Mir. Noble advised his principals that the Pittsburgh vein, which is the principal vein on the property, showed strong continuous cutcrop for a distance of 2,0O0 feet with a width of from 40 to 50 feet. Several lodges of ore varying from four to six feet in width parallel this principal vein. He further reported that the Morning Star lode, which outcrops on four of the claims of the company, was of good promise
 
 claims showed a wide oxidizcd out crop similar to that of the Pitts burgh.
 The property was purchased on the strength Of Mir. Noble's report since this report substantiatcd that of three other engineers who had previously examined the property.
 It is the plan of the present owD- CTS to mine the high grade ore blocked out by their present workings and they will at the same time proceed to sink at the most advantageous point in order to develop the values that geological evidence indicates wrn be found at depth of the zone of sec ondary enrichment.

Ex-Governor Thomas F. Campbell spent yesterday in Prescott greeting friends prior to his departure on the ll:lS train last night for Washington. where he was summoned by one of the departments of the government. Mir. Campbell is in ignorance of the reason his presence is desired in Washington, but ardently hopes that his services, which were rendered to Uncle Sam many months ago as an engineer, will be accepted and that he will be sent abroad for active service. However, if a desk job at the capitol IS offered, it will be de clined. as he feels he can do more good right here in Arizona, where for the past few months he has been organizing county councils of defense and raising money for the Rcd Cross. As an evidence of the success Of his activities, the citing of one instance IS suficient-thc securing of pledges from cattlcmcn at Willcox a few days ago of SO head of steers for the Red Cross. As one buyer has made an offer of $50 a head for the animals f will be seen that the cofTcrs of that chapter will be materially benefited. The governor was joined on the train last night by Mrs. Campbell.
