gerald has ordered a special meeting
Of the board of aldermen for tonight
to deal with the theater situation if
the corporation counsel submits opin-
ions on various questions which have

code. Should the corporation counsel
decide that it was not retroactive it
Is forecast that the aldermen will or
der a Reinsurance of permits and Ii
censes to theaters, and leave the code
itself n problem for the incoming

to be held that as the whole matter
has become intricate the status Of the
theater managers should be thrown
into the courts.

There is an old Irish legend that n
candle in your window on Christmas
eve will guide the Christ Child TO
your home that He may bring you
happiness. For several years I have
been stimulating a revival of this Gus
tom by leahet which | will mail

it, This leatlet has lighted Christmas
eve candles in thousands of homes all
over the United States and some in
India and France, England, Canada
and Japan.
The Irish will tell you that the
Christ candle was always lighted in
their home in the Emerald Isle as it
has been for years and years in Nor
way and Sweden. Roston has had it
for a decade. In Rochester 1913 was
our first celebration. The first year a
few houses shone, the second more
than a thousand the third nearly ev-

JOINS MOTHER
BARRED HERE
Forced TO Choose Between Parent
and Country

Although he has had two years
education In this country, and the
Baptist church of New Britain was
prepared to flnishe his education and
make him a minister, Samuel Eshoo,
n 10 year old Armenian boy, who was
born In the village of Geogtapa, on
the plet-s of urmia, close to the his
torical Mount Ararat, where the ark
Is said to have rested after the flood,
has eelcted to return to his homeland
with his mother, and take his chances
OF being murdered. The mother, who
arrived in Boston last week had hoped
to settle In New Britain and make her
Nome with her son. But the allotment
for that country has been completed
and, although a Christian refugee
from the Turks she was deported by
the government.
The son, who was a local high
school student, went to Boston to meet
his mother, whose passage he had
paid from her native land. Finding
she was not permitted to land, he re-
turned to New Britain, packed his
clothing and has gone back, prefer
ring to take his chance with the muir
derous Turks, rather than desert his
mother
During the world war the Turks
drove the Eshoo family from its home.
The mother and daughter fled for safe
ty to Mesapotamia, while father and
son, assisted by American missionar-
les, managed to reach America. The
boy came to New Britain and the
father located in Bridgeport.
When he arrived here the first thing
the boy did was to go to the Baptist
church and enroll as a member of the
bible class taught of Thomas A..
James, of the Minor Corbin Box Co.
Some time later, he identified photo
graph of a former member of the
same class an an uncle who has been
her efor several years and returned to
his native country on a visit. The
young man had the name of Mr..
James and sought out his class be-
cause of this. The uncle, David Ella,
now resides in Bridgeport with his
brother, the boys father.
Mr.. James being informed of the
desire of the boy to be educated for
the ministry communicated with the
Calvary Baptist church in New York
and was advised to have him admitted
to Suffield Academy This was done
and the expenses of the student were
betrayed for two years by the First
Baptist church of New Britain. Leav
ing there the boy enrolled as student
of the local high school.
Becoming homesick for his mother,
and learning that she could make her
escape from the country. the boy sent
passage money across and the aged
mother set sail to America, what she
