HONEST MEXICAN
 DIVORCES VALID
Healy Makes Ruling Affecting
 This State

Hartford. July 29 P - Divorces procured in Mexico are recognized
 n Connecticut, providing there is no evidence of fraud concerned with the securing of the decree, Attorney General rank F. Healy has advised Town Clerk Henry P. Crawford of Greenwich. When any question ot illegality arises, because of fraud, a marriage license in this state should not be issued to the divorced person, he says, adding that 1t might be ad- visable in cases of this kind to have the person produce the divorce de- cree.
 A license to be married has been issued by Town Clerk Crawford to a person who had a Mexican decree of divorce, he says in letter to the attorney general. He directed the issue of the license because the laws of Connecticut do not state that it is necessary to produce a copy of the divorce decree when securing a marriage license, he says.
 The recent agitation because of alleged divorce mills in Yucatan, Mexico. when it was said that the divorce could be arranged, for a consideration, in advance before court trial, brought the Mexican situation before officials in this country. In view of this Town Clerk Crawford asked for legal advice on the matter.
 He said last night that a subordi- nate in his office shandled the particular case in question, and that he did not know the name of the person involved or whether the person was a resident of this state. Only one case of this kind has come to his attention and this was sever al weeks ago, he said.

COLONEL IS FREED
 BY COURT MARTIAL
Not Blamed for Failure to
 Salute Haitian

New York. July Is Pl-An army court martial yesterday absolved Colonel James Thornton Watson of all blame for delay in firing salute to President Louis Borno of Haiti when his ship arrived at New York recently.
 It was explained that the salute was fired IS minutes late because soldiers at Governors Island mistoo the President Roosevelt for the liner Ancon with President Borno aboard. The mistake was said to have oc- cured because the Ancon was not decorated with flags and the Presi- dent Roosevelt was.
 Colonel Watson was in charge at Governors Island at the time in the absence of Colonel Stanley H. Ford. On his return to duty Colonel Ford preferred charges and a court martial was ordered. After a two hour session Brigadiers General Hugh Drum. presiding at the court martial. announced that the ac- cused has been found not guilty and is acquitted on the specifications as charged"
 It was said after the court-martial that if he had wanted to pass the buck" by reporting that delay n sa- luting the negro president fad been due entirely to an error of his subor- dinates. Colonel Watson need never have gone to trial. He felt, 1t was reported, that as he had been in charge at the time he should shoul- der entire responsibility.
