Court Orders Morris to
Tell Financial Status
Action Taken i'm Brokers' Effort
to Obtain Release Under
Debt Law

Lewis Gouverneur Morris, who has
been restricted to the limits Of West
chester County by reason of body at
tachment obtained three months ago
by Charles Morgan, a customer of the
defunct brokerage firm of Morris G.
Pope, of this city, must appear
Wednesday before Judge Young in the
County Court at White Plains for ex-
animation as to his assets.
Judge Young SO ordered it yesterday
IN issuing an eX-parte order directing
Morris's creditors to show cause why
he should not be released as an inso.-
vent debtor under the poor debtors
act, which provides that a debt pris.
oner may be released after three
months. Although technically a pris-
oner Morris is at liberty within West
chester County under $4,000 bail.
Van Sinderen Lindsey, counsel for
Mr.. Morgan, said he would oppose the
motion for Morris's discharge on the
ground that he was not poor and was
not insolvent and his application was
not that of the "honest debtor" con-
tenaplated by the law. Judge Young
said that he would not discharge Mr.
Morris until he was satisfied that he
was not conceallng any assets and or
dered him to appear for examination.
He directed also that Mrs. Morris
must appear for examination at the
same time to testify as to whether her
husband had transferred any property
to her and, if 80, as to the circum-
stances of the transfer.
Mr.. Lindsey said he expected to
show that Mr.. Morris had transferred
to his wife his summer home in New
port and valuable property in Man

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-Labor or

Italy and Japan were asked to join in
worldwide demonstrations for dis
armament" on Armisticc Day, when the
Conference on the Limitation of Arma-
ment assemblies, in cablegrams sent out
to-day by Samuel Gompers, presiden.
OF the American Federation of Labor.
The demonstrations by organized
labor in the various countries would be
held in conjunction with that plannes /.
by organized labor in the United States.
The cablegram sent to W. G. Bower
man, chairman of the parliamentary
committee of the British Trade Union
Congress, with which the other cable-
grams practically are identical, fol-
lows:
"Thc American Federation of Labor
is whole-heartcdly for fullest possible
disarmament in the interest of inter
national peace and good will. Isn't it
possible to have demonstrations of
English people in support of this hu-
manitarian purpose. with view of
having them prevail upon the British
government, as we are trying to pre-
vail upon ours and all others, to in
sist upon the FULLEST limit on ar,na-
mcnts at the Washington conference ?"
Event Is Paramount"
Mr.. Gompers also sent out a call to
every central labor union" urging
whole-hearted support and participa-
tion in the Armistice Day demonstra-
tions.
"There can be no sufficient excuse
for failure anywhere" the call de-
clarcd. "The Importance of the event
is paramount. Let the voice Of the
American people be heard in it's full
volume. Let the international confer
ence on limitation If armament under
stand the will of America"
Inquiries as to the meaning of the
section relating to "new agencies of
warfare" in the program sugge sted by
Secretary Hughes for the limitation of
armament conferees have been made by
at least two of the invited governments

III Manifested DISSATISFACTION With the list

somewhat more definite information
regarding certain suggestions, among
them that relating to commitments.
In response the Unites States gov.

powers of it's conception of the sub
ject, but, it is understood, has reitefa
ated that it has no desire to limit un-
necessarily the scope Of the conference
by hard and fast rules. and that so far
as possible it is considered advisable
that the program be left in an elastic

A FARM BUREAU

The announcement went out in oul
last weeks issue for a meeting call
ed for Saturday April 3rd al th'
Court House in Water Valley, for thu
purpose Of organizing a Farm Blu
reau.
This is a new move in the county
and the organization is new to ths
people, bu. in Lafayette county, just
north of us, one of these organiza.
lions is in force, and in talking tt
one of our farmer friends who was
here Saturday from that county, and
a member of the Bureau. he told us
that he was we'll satisfied with the
workings Of the organizations, and
that he believed in it strong.
We are no. familiar with the work
ings of such an organization, but in
studying the press over the state,
we conclude that here must be some
thing to it, as they are meeting with
tn approval of all the farmers who
have become members.
There is no question that the far
mers should be organized, should Be
